Learn Oracle Projects R12

Dear All,
I am a Oracle R12 Apps DBA and have 7+ years of experience, I have been assigned an additional role of Oracle Projects R12 consultant.
1. How to start / Learn Oracle R12 Projects (any Good link or Resources).
2. How much time, it will require to learn.
Regards

Oracle EBS docs can be found at Oracle Applications Releases 11i and 12 -- Look for Projects docs. You may also google "Oracle Projects Blogs" and go through the links.
For the time, it depends on your skills and what topics you want to cover.
Thanks,

  • Learning Oracle Projects

    Hi Friends,
    I am new to Oracle Projects. Under Oracle Projects, there are so many modules ... Costing, Billing, Contracts, Project Management etc.
    Can any one suggest me where to start from so that I can understand the flow from one module to another.
    Apart from the oracle documentations, is there any other study material available online which can help me understand the Oracle Project suite.
    Regards

    Budgeting And Forecasting Enhancements Enhanced Automatic Calculation and Derivation Logic
    For plan lines that do not have a specified a quantity, the amount is no longer copied to the quantity field with the rate value set to 1.

  • Dina, Differenc Betn R12 Oracle Projects Vs Oracle 11g Fusion Project Portf

    Hi Dina / Experts,
    Can anyone of you help me in getting the product features differences between R12 Oracle Project Suite Vs Oracel 1Fusion 11g Project Portfolio Management?
    can you please provide me reference document / link / RCD / PPT if possible..which helps in understanding exact differences?
    Thanks
    :-)

    Hi Chris, Steve,
    Not sure how it is working for you, but what I trying to is to reuse the sharable base adf bc model in multiple projects (using jdev 11.1.1.1.0). Basically, i have the following structure
    1. Base Model project (first workspace): that has an ADF Library deployment profile. In this project, I made sure that the project -> Project Properties -> Business Components -> Options-> Copy Package XML files to ClassPath is checked.
    2. Another MODEL project (Second workspace): I don't have any view controller project here. I can add the adf library (created in #1) through the resource palette to my second model project that is in a separate workspace, but when i try to create a new entity in this project that is based on an old entity, the wizard does not show any base entities that were packaged in the base model project that was created in #1.
    Do you have any tips? In additon to the links you mentioned above, I have gone through the following, but of no avail. I would appreciate any help.

  • How fast is it possible to learn Oracle if I'm proficient in mySQL?

    Hi ladies and gents,
    I am planning on creating an estate agency website. I have about 3 months to do that. I did computer science in uni, so i know java, c++, SQL, x/html, html, a bit of javascript, css. I bought a PHP and Oracle book.
    My question is, considering the fact that I have never created a website with a fully functional database on, how long does it normally take for experience people to create such a site?
    If I am a fast learner would I be able to do it in 3 months? I am really scared that I am taking on a challenge that I will not be able to handle. I will be fully committed and obviously will be spending day and night on designing and coding the site.
    Finally the most important question I want people to answer is this, if I am already proficient in SQL, will learning Oracle take much time? Can I not do the site with SQL instead of Oracle at the moment?
    Massive "Thanks" to any who answers my questions. I am mainly interested in your views so any reply will be welcome.

    I've no idea on the project, having never done anything like that myself, but a working knowledge of SQL, whilst handy, isn't the be all and end all of working with a database.
    Firstly, you've got to get the design of the database right - normalised tables, primary keys, foreign keys, etc. Getting that right makes the rest of your job much easier!
    Secondly, a lot depends on the database you're working with. You'd take a different approach SQL / code wise when using Access than you would when using Oracle. So, you'd have to get familiar with the capabilities of your particular database platform in order to be able to make the best use out of it. (For example, Oracle has a different method of ensuring read consistency than MS SQL Server does, and what you can do in one big SQL statement in Oracle, you would break up into smaller queries and use temporary tables to hold the data.)
    Thirdly, the SQL used in each database platform is slightly different - most of it is standard, but there are bolt-ons which are not the same across the databases (eg. in the case of Oracle, how you handle DATEs is not the same as how you'd do it in SQL Server, Sybase, etc.)
    If I were you, I'd stick to using something that I knew, rather than trying to learn everything in 3 months! However, if you were wanting to bolt a website onto an Oracle database, I believe APEX could well suit your needs.

    Hi user3726038,
    I have seen posting about the installation of EBS R12/i11 saying it does not work with Windows Vista (64 bit). I went ahead and tried it anyway to see what kind of errors I get and to confirm if the errors I get are consistent with other people using Windows Vista. FYI, my installation went as far as 99% complete of step 2 of 5 before it errored out. I checked and noticed that many components of EBS have been installed with status equal zero which is good.
    When I got the "TNS-12541: TNS: no listener", I went to Windows services, located the Oracle TNS service that was created by the EBS installation and tried to start it. Then I got this error: "error 1053 the service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion". I googled the error message and the resolution is: "To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1.". I have tried this but it does not work because my Windows Vista uses a higher version of .Net Framework 1.1. I have done more research but to no avail. However, it is fun as I learn many things about the EBS intallation and Windows Vista.
    By the way, these are the steps when I run the rapidwiz on Windows Vista. Click on Start => Click on command prompt => right click on command Prompt => select run as administrator => CD to the path where the rapidwiz reside. Somehow if I use the regular command prompt the installation will die on step 1 of 5 even when I log in as administrator.
    In your case you are using Windows 2k3. Make sure your OS is not 64 bit. Whenever you get an error and it does not say much, google it to see the resolution and make sure you read the Installation Guide. Hope this helps.

  • Where to start in Oracle Apps R12

    Hi
    I am completely new in Oracle Apps. I have lot of experience in Microsoft technologies (SQL Server, .Net) but never worked in Oracle Apps before. Now trying to learn it.
    I installed Oracle Apps R12 on a virtual linux machine for learning. I selected "empty database" at the time of installation (i.e. not Vision installation) and logged in as sysadmin. But now I don't know where to start. Let's say I want to use the Financials module to enter some fake data and then create a report. Where do I start? I searched in Google but looks like none of the "beginner's tutorial" have that info.
    Can someone help me or direct me to some tutorial/documentation which will help me to start?
    Thanks for your help.

  • Oracle EBS R12 Advice

    Hey Community,
    I have 2 years of experience as an Apps DBA. I recently took a new job working under a consultant as jr. apps dba. Well the consultant was fired and well now I'm the only dba. So far things are great and I'm really enjoying this challenge. I have been studying my behind off daily to catch up on a lot of stuff that is new to me. I had a few questions I would like to ask and get advice from experts here.
    One of my questions are what are some daily tasks I need to do as an apps dba? This is a fairly new shop and right now, there isn't any procedures on doing much. I am creating procedures now. Right now I just check to make sure the applications are up, if they are down, I go from there. We have a core dba so I don't have to do much on the database side. I need info for the application side.
    Also, I don't know RAC but will have to learn it. I do have my own home environment. I know how to install Oracle EBS finally. At the moment, I am upgrading my database to 11.2.0.3 and after that I will upgrade my applications to 12.1.3 and then the latest version. After I complete these tasks, I am going to take time to learn as much as I can about RAC, then I will do my own implementation of RAC. I will then need to install Oracle EBS on RAC (Not sure how to do that yet) I also need to learn to clone on RAC, Patch on RAC and how to maintain EBS on RAC. If you all could give me any documentation, videos, or anything else I can study it would be greatly appreciated.
    Also do you all have any advice for me that will help me rise to the challenge. I know its a huge one but its one I believe I can do as long as I put in much hard work and dedication. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

  • Want to learn oracle financials

    Hi folks,
    My background is in accounting. I have been working in oralce environment (pl/sql) for the past 1.5 yrs. I would like to learn oracle financials but do have the resources to pay for the class. However, if there is a way to learn by buying and learning from books or if I can download (for a minimal fee) can anyone let me know.
    Regards,
    Sri

    Sri,
    I recommend the book "Special Edition: Using Oracle Applications" from QUE Books, available from Amazon.com or other web-book sites. It will cost approximately US $50 +/-. It is a very good overview of each of the applications (Release 10.7 and 11), as well as lots of other information about projects, consulting and consultants, technical issues, etc. Good luck! - Pat

  • MSP Integration with Oracle Projects

    Hi Dina,
    Does the integration between MSP and Oracle Projects work without any issues in R 12.1.3? We've tried using it in the past with R 12.0.6 but have to say the experience was not good. It used to work at times and fail on other times. Most of the times the first time import from MSP to Oracle Project used to work but subsequent changes to the WBS used to give issues while trying to import into Oracle Projects (even though the link to the Oracle Project existed in MSP).
    One of our new customers (Construction Company) wants to create the WBS in MSP (Microsoft Project ver 2003 or 2007) and then import it into Oracle Projects to track progress, effort and cost. Any changes to the WBS (which happens frequently) will be done in MSP and imported back into Oracle Projects. Does the above mentioned requirement work consistently in R 12.1.3? Please let us know.
    Thanks
    Regards,
    Sri

    The MSP integration requirements that you describe should work in the latest versions of 11i e.g. (FP.M RUP4) as well as R12.1.3.
    My experience is that providing all scheduling is done in MSP then the integration functionality works well.
    The recommended process flow for MSP integration is:-
    •     Oracle Projects: A project manager creates a project in Oracle Projects from a project template containing information for deliverables, work breakdown structures, and resource assignments
    •     MSP: The unscheduled resource and workplan data is downloaded to Microsoft Project for scheduling
    •     MSP: The project is scheduled in Microsoft Project based on task assignments, task dependencies, task constraints, and other attributes
    •     MSP: The scheduled workplan data is uploaded to Oracle Projects for publishing
    •     Oracle Projects: The project workplan is published in Oracle Projects
    •     Oracle Projects: After the workplan is published, the project is accessible to all team members working on the project. Team members work on their assignments and report their progress in Oracle Projects
    •     Oracle Projects: The team members' progress on the tasks is collected for updating the project plan
    •     Oracle Projects: The project plan is updated with the team members' progress
    •     MSP: The project is now unscheduled. The unscheduled project plan is downloaded to Microsoft Project for rescheduling
    •     MSP: The project plan is rescheduled in Microsoft Project and the task information is updated
    •     Oracle Projects: The rescheduled workplan is uploaded to Oracle Projects for publication
