How is Oracle Apps on Windows?

I have just accepted a new position as an Apps DBA on windows. I am told the product is unstable on windows. I have not worked with Oracle Apps in over 1.5 years and that was on HPUX. Any comments welcome?

If you are familair with UNIX based OS ,then windows will be little complicated.Though its unstable,if your company has prod on windows then you have to read about 11i on windows .Happy learning :)

How much Oracle Apps knowledge is needed to master SOA Suite 11g?

I am an experience server-side java developer with little experience with Oracle Apps. I have worked on BPEL process manager earlier, but the new SOA Suite 11g has much more than just BPEL PM. When I go through the Oracle documentation, most of the examples are based on Oracle Apps that a person with little knowledge on for example, PO processing etc cannot understand very clearly. Is there any other way, I can get some standalone examples that are not based on Oracle Apps ?
Share some examples pls.

This is Vijay Kumar - Currently I am working on JD EDwards ERP Software which you might be aware of. Now I want to know Oracle Fusion - BPEL specifically.
I need some help from you. By looking at your profile I am thinking you have some good experiece in that area and suggest me how to learn it. can you give me your phone number and email id to contact you. here is my email id [email protected]

How to update apps on windows 7

I have windows 7 64 bit and itunes 11 64bit. It states in the manual to click on the app in the library and press F5 to update. i did this and nothing happens. i tried it with numbers ( which on the ipad states there is an update for it) but nothing happened. What is the Windows 7 control key that needs to be click on or the option in the menu in itunes.
thanks

Hi offi55
Why do you need a new BIOS? Can you notice some issues with the notebook or why do you try to update?
However, I think the update should only be done on preinstalled Windows version (XP or Vista). I assume this update wasnt tested and designed for Windows 7 so I think this would be the reason why you cant update it.
So install Windows from Toshiba recovery disk and try to update again. It should work.

Installing 11i apps on windows xp and Red Hat linux AS 3.0

Hi,
I am a newbie to Oracle E-business suite............i will be very helpful if anybody could help me with the full procedure on how to install Oracle apps on windows on Windows XP and Red Hat linux AS 3.0.........starting with configuring ip.....i would really appreciate if somebody helps me out...........well thanks in advance..waiting for a optmistic reply...
Thanks again,
Virendra

I have done installation on XP and 2000 servers are heres the steps... detailed ones. I also request those who install Oracle Apps 11i to first read the installtion pdf's which helps you understand clearly the prerequisites overall.
You cannot find the Pre installtion steps(such as Mks Toolkit and GNUMake config) in more clear terms from those documents.Which are explained here.
The Must PDF's to refer before installation
1)r1152ins.pdf
2)11iconcepts.pdf
According to the 11iconcepts PDF you can decide your business needs the N-Tier Architecture and Database Server and Application Tier Server File System in a very clear terms.
The installation process can be divided into
Pre Installtion,Installation and Post-Installation stages.
I would caution everyone to concentrate more on Pre Installation stage and which is more critical for a successfull installtion of Oracle Apps and to be free with later cropping up problems.
Further before moving into Installtion stages i have to Explain the Number of CD's and Installtion type's in Oracle App's.
In many places you may need to wait patiently even more than 10 minutes for screens(Dialog Boxes) to appear dont conclude prematurely some problem on system.
In oracle Apps 11.5.1 it consist of 12 CD's.
1) Start Here CD(RAPID Installation Wizard)
2)1-11 CD's
1-3 Application Top information
4th Oracle DB
5-6 IAS and other tools
7-11 Oracle Apps DB.
You have to decide whether you are going to do a Single Node Installation(No Post-Installation Task) or Multi Node Installation. Refer(r1152ins.pdf)
While installing for Multi Node you can see the Installation locations to be mentioned as
Appl_Top,Common_Top,Data_Top etc.Try to install Appl_top and common_Top in one drive and Data_Top in another Drive(Single Node) and in different nodes in Multi Node installation.
Installation Types
Production ==>Real time Env implementation's
Test ==>For test Env Purposes
Vision Demo==>R&D or learning Purposes.
Pre-Installation steps
======================
Space Requirement for types of installtions
Install VC++
How to Download and install MKS tool Kit
How to Download and Configure GNUMAKE
Env path setting
Create Applmgr user in Win2000
Space Requirement for types installtion:
Memory Requirement
1 GB of RAM(512 Fine for initial Installtion)
but planned for more user connections another 1 GB of Ram and according to the number of user's and Application needs you have to Increase the Memory.
HDD capacity
APP_Top(A)
COMMON_TOP(C)
DATA_TOP(D)
Test DB : 22 + 20 GB (60 GB recommended)
Prod DB : 22 + 20 GB (60 GB recommended)
Vision Demo DB: 22 + 35 GB (80 GB recommended).
Plus space for ur staging area.
This are the actuall space required for the Oracle Apps Alone plan for more space for future needs etc.
Softwares on System
Win2000 server with Patch1,Winzip and Acrobat Reader Latest version etc.
Install VC++:
Install a clean installtion of VC++ of Visual Studio Family 6.0
It should be first installed before installing MKS or GNUMAKE
NOTE: When Visual C++ is installed, let the installer register all environment variables. This will allow executables to be linked from the command line.
How to Download and install MKS tool Kit:
Note:Try to purchase the MKS tool kit from the below site.
or try to download the trial version valid for a months time.
http://www.mkssoftware.com/products/tk/ds_tkio.asp
Evaluation copy from
http://www.mkssoftware.com/eval/
Choose "MKS Toolkit for Interoperability " Download it in C:\
Again you have to click the downloaded kit to start the actual download of 38 MB of MKS tollkit Evaluation version.
You will be sent a Demo serial number to your mail id==>copy the same to a Notepad on your desktop.
Now start the installtion of the MKSToolkit on your system by clicking on the MKStoolkit downloaded.
It will prompt you for the Demo serial number which has to be provided.
The MKStoolkit will be successfully installed.
How to Download and Configure GNUMAKE:
1) HOW TO GET AND INSTALL GNUMAKE ON WINDOWS2000
This can be done by performing the following steps:
NOTE: Please, be aware that you must install Visual C++ BEFORE installing GNUMAKE, because its installation process involves linking executables.
1) Before downloading GNUMAKE, you will need to acquire some utilities which will be used for unpacking files. You can obtain the required utilities at the following
URL: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/windows/emacs/utilities/i386/
The directory contains the following files:
README
djtarnt.exe
gunzip-1.2.4-i386.exe
gzip-1.2.4-i386.exe
tar-1.11.2-i386.exe
tar-1.11.2a.exe
Only two of the files are required:
gunzip-1.2.4-i386.exe and tar-1.11.2a.exe
2) After downloading the above files, rename them as follows:
gunzip-1.2.4-i386.exe => gunzip.exe
tar-1.11.2a.exe => tar.exe
Place them into a directory that you can set in you PATH environment variable.
3) Point your browser to the following
URL: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/make
The files needed from this directory are:
make-3.77.tar.gz
make-3.78.1.tar.gz
make-3.79.1.tar.gz
make-3.79.tar.gz
Development requires to install version 3.77 or above. Downloading the latest version is perhaps best decision, but there are advantages to downloading the version required by development (3.77). (This document assumes that version 3.77 has been downloaded) (NOTE: AVOID USING SPACES IN
DIRECTORY AND FILE NAMES. GNUMAKE,VISUAL C++, ETC. DO NOT ALWAYS DEAL WELL WITH SPACES)
4) For instance, suppose you have downloaded file make-3.77.tar.gz on a directory called C:\GNUMAKE, unpack this file using gunzip.exe from a Command Prompt Window
Example: C:\GNUMAKE>gunzip make-3.77.tar.gz This last action, will expand file make-3.77.tar.gz and the extension .gz will be removed.
5) On the same Command Prompt Window, you should UnTAR the file, with the following
command: C:\GNUMAKE>tar -xvf make-3.77.tar This will create a new subdirectory called MAKE-3.77 under C:\GNUMAKE, the original directory.
6) In the new subdirectory, there is a batch file
called build_w32.bat; run the batch file to generate GNUMAKE.EXE
Try this from Command Prompt more than once if succesfully not built message appers till you get Generated successfully.
Note:If Possible run all the bat files in the MAKE-3.77 and also config.bat in the sub directory by double clicking it.
WARNING: There is a known issue with this last step, "GNU make fails to build regardless of chosing build_w32 or nmake"
See [NOTE:115937.1]
for work around. RELATED DOCUMENTS ----------------- For Microsoft Visual C++, MKS Toolkit and
GNUMAKE support, you should contact their respective vendors Microsoft Visual C++, MKS Toolkit

Note:115937.1: GNU Make won't make on windows NT
Important:All the downloaded files from GNU makes web sites shall be put in a single folder called gnumake under c:\ .Try to search for config.bat file inside this folders just click and
run it.
Env path setting:
Try to search make.exe generated in c:\program files\mkstoolkit\mksnt and copy and paste it
c:\gnumake\MAKE-3.77\windebug and c:\gnumake\MAKE-3.77\winRel also paste both this paths in the
My Computers==>Properties==>Advanced==>Environment variables==>Path setting's
After all this check as follows from CMD mode.
1)execute make at c:\>
2)execute gnumake at c:\>
In win2000 it may return error messages or Target wrong ignore it.If it is on Win NT then it will return proper status.
Create Applmgr user in Win2000:
Create a Applmgr user account in win2000 .
Installation:
=============
What here you require is the Patience .
Load the START HERE CD and run the C:\> cd \cdrom\rapidwiz
For Test and Prod it will ask for the location of Appl_Top,Common_Top and Data_Top location. Mention there path and ensure if more than one installtion say eg.Vision and Test or Prod to check the Path in all the tab pages its corresponding values and path's.
In Vision Demo many of the Options are not propmted from the user.
It will then do the system checking for Host Name and other details.All the checking should have been passed or if failed it will mark it in RED cross mark.Rectify the mistake and then onceagain proceed or else you will have problem after installation.
The Installation time takes around 5 to 6 Hrs of time.
For info on Post installation or on Multi Node follow the pdf's i have mentioned above.
The most tedious of all is succesfully crossing the Apps system checking it does for all
installed products it requires without any failure.
The GNUMAKE configuration or steps were nowhere given and it was all our trail and error exp.
This is possibly the most elaborate steps to install Apps on Win. post for further help. email me at [email protected] or [email protected]

Oracle Apps Technical

Hi Fiends,
I'm Vijay, having 30 months of exp in D2K.... now willing to make career in oracle apps....
will you pls suggest how long oracle apps will sustain as Fusion is coming....
and secondly which is better bet...Oracle Apps or Java
Tnx
Vijay K

Hi All,
I too am trying to move from the D2K world into the Apps world. I've found a few things to help with the training aspect...
Oracle Documentation (R12): http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B34956_01/current/html/docset.html
I plan on starting with the 626 page Application Developer's Guide. The UI Standards guide is also high on my list. From there I'll chose a particular App to focus on.
There is an online version of the Vision demo database at www.solutionbeacon.com but you need to have an Oracle CSI number to use it. Its a great place to try out the Apps functionality - all of the Responsibilities are available to play with. The online Help windows are also helpful. Unfortunately, you are not allowed to have sql access to the database to see the effects of your actions.
A very basic intro to Apps is available at http://www.exforsys.com/tutorials/oracle-apps.html
Its a great way to get exposed to Apps before getting bogged down by the 626 page Developer's guide.
The one thing I'm still searching for is a place to download a copy of the template.fmb form and associated pll's. I would like to browse through the code to get a feel for how things are done in the Apps forms. If anybody has a suggestion, I would be very grateful.
Good Luck,
Ken

NoClassDefFoundError for Java Concurrent Program in Oracle Apps

as AvailableProg and Execution File Path as
oracle.apps.fnd.cp.request (this is where AvailableProg resides)
and Method as Java Concurrent Program.
2. Created the concurrent program and set the Options as -cp JAVA_CON.
3. Created a environment variable JAVA_CON (In Windows XP) with the
values D:\apps.zip and
D:\oracle.apps.fnd.cp.request.AvailableProg.class.
4. Registered the concurrent program.
5. While I submitted the request I got the following error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
oracle/apps/fnd/cp/request/Run.
Can anybody help me in resolving this issue?
Is there any documents available in executing java concurrent programs?
Please do the needful..
Thank You....

Oracle Apps RDF Report generates file with ^M (Carriage return) characters

We are upgrading from 11i to r12 (also moving from HP unix to AIX on hardware side) and this rdf report generates a text file which is then eventually sent to a third party system for printing. Report works just fine in 11i as it generates a file without any ^M chars but in R12 environment, the same report generates file with ^M chars.
Also want to understand how the Oracle Apps system hands over the output files to O/S which is saved.
Pls advice
Thanks
Ram M.

What type of concurrent program are we talk about here?
This is a Report type of Concurrent program
How does the text file get generated?
Report is generating a Text file on :desname, a custom folder.
Was the binary mode used to copy the files from the old server to the new one?
I believe RDF Reports were copied over in Binary format but none of the text files generated from old server are copied over.

Laptop config for installing oracle apps

Hi All,
what could be the best config and brand for installing oracle apps in laptop for learning purpose? Will oracle apps supports Windows Vista as most of the current laptops has Vista as the default OS?
I have tried installing oracle apps in desktop and not in laptop yet.I found in the net the below steps is one of the ways to install oracle apps in laptop.
1.Install VMware on windows OS (Virtual Machine)
2.Install enterprise linux
3.Install oracle apps
Pls let me know if anyone have installled oracle apps in laptop.
Thanks in advance
kumar

Hi Kumar,
Yes, for learning Vista/VMWare/OEL/Apps would work, but note VMWare not supported on Vista but it does run (boot using Disable Driver Signing) and you might find Linux VMs take 20-30mins or so to start the first time after host boot. Also I'd turn off the Vista frilly bits!
Specs - get something recent, the better hardware the faster it runs! For Vista and R12 on VMWare I'd say you'd want 4GB memory, fast dual core CPU and tons of disk. Also you'll want Vista 64 to get the best out of the memory (and if you want more than 4Gb). Some laptop brands come with options for different OS's like images on DVD or hidden on the harddisk that you can easily reinstall.
PS. Laptops are like desktop's these days, not a huge difference in specs...
PPS. If you want a less painful option try to downgrade to Windows XP (watch memory limits), still lots of hassles with Vista.
PPPS. I'd go for OpenSuse (Suse clone) or Centos (RedHat clone) over OEL for learning machine due to no subscription for updates, etc.
Drop me an email if you want.
Regards,
Gareth
