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

Hi,
i m writing diz reply 4m my practical experience on my course 4m oracle on EBS modules...
Learning oracle modules from oracle university could help you to get complete end to end implementation experience..i mean during ur oracle classes u do 1 dummy implementation with all probabilities...So u ll b more familiarized on navigation and handson.
Also ur attendance ll help u 2 gain certification...the student e-kit is the lovely stuff most easiest configuration collection with screen shot...
by the way selecting modules should b ur choice...u can choose instructor lead training or live virtual classes...my suggestion if u learn the below 3 major modules wud upgrade ur knowledge on project suite.....
11i and R12 10% more web pages introduced...slight enhancement n functionalists...itz better 2 tak latest version...

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,

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.

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

3 weeks into learning Oracle, and I think I am ready for the next step.

Hi all,
I am in need of some suggestions. I have been learning oracle for almost 4 weeks now, and I need to design a database with some real world functionality. I want it to be fairly difficult so that I am able to learn things by being "thrown to the wolves" so to speak. I will be designing it from scratch basically: requirements gathering, ERD and Normalization, Table creation, and then implementing functionality in increments. I know that is a lot on my plate, but I'm sure I can do it with the amount of resources and documentation there is available.
First things first, I will be using Oracle 10g XE as the database software. I am trying to determine what kind of database I want to design though. I really would like to stay away from the traditional/generic databases, if you know what I mean. Or if it is one of the popular starter DBs, then something with a twist maybe. Here is one of the things I have thought about, hopefully some of you guys that respond can shoot some more ideas at me:
Corporate Inventory database for a company that does a lot of field service work with local parts, but would sometimes require parts to be shipped from other locs:
DB would track inventory for all offices throughout company.
Basic users could only view inventory for each office.
Mid-level users could add/remove items at their local office, and request items to be shipped from other offices.
Management-users could add/remove items, request items, and would be able to approve any pending inventory transfers.
DBA - The administrator, can add new users, remove users, and all the other power that comes with being a DBA.
Does something like this seem like a good project? I would be able to address concurrency, error handling (with codes), multiple user types, etc.
Can somebody suggest a front-end for this?
I was thinking to maybe make a JSP/JSF web based service (to be run locally at first) for all of the forms and such and then use the Oracle XE for the back-end. Does anybody think there is something more suitable?
Also, if anybody can think of another DB system to design that may be better to learn from or more interesting, please suggest it.
Best regards to all those positive community members,
Jason

I would like to take this project slow, I mean I do not plan on having this be a working application in 2 weeks. I would like to slowly develop it and move on to each step after the previous step is understood.
Such as, first start by understanding what tables and keys I will be needing in order to have a database which tracks inventory. Then create users that only have certain privileges. Then start to slowly create the functions/procedures and triggers that will be used to perform certain transactions on the database, starting with the most simple ones first. Finally decide on a front-end that will be best for allowing users to perform transactions in a friendly interface.
By no means do I think this is simple, but I do believe if I approach it correctly I can learn a lot. I was basically just hoping the experienced users in this community could help me understand the best approach and some basic ideas I may need to understand about developing a project like this.

Learning Oracle BPM v10.3

Hello Experts,
Our client owns a bunch of Oracle tools. My next requirement in this project is to LEARN then CREATE a BPM project using Oracle BPM v10.3.
So far I have found only 1 tutorial and NOT the greatest documentation/training matetrial on Oracle BPM v10.3.
What would you guys suggest as a way to learn Oracle BPM v10.3?
FYI - We are using Oracle BPM v10.3 so not interested in BPM 11g.
Your help really appreciated if any of you can share some kind of training docs with me.
Thanks in advanced for any responses!

Here's a step-by-step on how to consume and invoke a web service from Oracle BPM:
Consuming web services in Studio requires only a WSDL file or URL and Studio then generates all of the appropriate external resources to access it within the PBL.
1. Access http://www.xmethods.net in your web browser.
2. Click Full List.
3. Search for getRandomBushism and click on it.
4. Select and copy the string http://greg.froh.ca/fun/random_bushism/soap/?wsdl to the clipboard
5. Create a new module in the Catalog called “WebSvcs” (open the “Project” flap ->expand the Catalog -> right mouse click “Calalog” ->click “New Module” -> name the new module “WebSvcs”).
6. Right-click the WebSvcs module and select Catalogue Component -> Web Service.
7. Paste the URL saved previously in the clipboard to the WSDL Address field.
8. Click the Next button. Studio will then introspect the WSDL file across the Internet and load the appropriate definitions into the Catalog and External Resources.
9. In Studio, open a process and create an interactive activity named “Get Thought For The Day” in any of roles.
10. Open the method for the activity (double click it) and drag the getRandomBushism( ) method you just exposed from the catalog to the PBL to invoke the service.
11. Modify the logic slightly so it looks like the logic shown below.
randomBushism as WebSvcs.Wsdl.RandomBushism = WebSvcs.Wsdl.RandomBushism()
getRandomBushism(RandomBushismService, out result : randomBushism)
// this display statement should not be used in production
// - it's used here just to show you the result in the easiest way
display randomBushism.bushism12. Right mouse click anywhere in the white space of the logic and click Run This. You should see the result of your call to the web service returned.

thanks

This is your 4th or 5th post in which you are using subject like this and I guss you might have been told to write in a decent manner. Havnt you learned anything about being bit decent ?
Why you think that these hell lot of question marks are going to make it more important than other posts. If you want to ask something, just be polite and give some good subject to the post.
BTW why you are looking for ready made demo projects ? Want for some assignment ? If you are new, think, make a project and learn. There is no tablet that can help you in learning Oracle.

Rate now has a lower precedence than quantity and amount in automatic calculations. The rate will be re-derived when the quantity, rate and amount are entered at the same time for a plan line.
When the burden multiplier is overridden by updates to the raw cost or burden cost, subsequent calculations of the burden cost will use the override burden multiplier. The same is true when the markup percent is updated by changes to plan line components: the override markup percentage will be used in revenue calculations.
Enhanced Handling of Override Rates on Budget / Forecast Lines
Override rates for a planning transaction on Edit Budget and Edit Forecast pages.

VS, ODT and using "Oracle Project"-template requires Policy Management

HI,
I installed the ODT 11.1.0.6.20 and tried to create a new project using the "Oracle Project" but received the following error message: "The project <ProjectName> requires Policy Management. Open this project in Visual Studio.NET Enterprise Developer or Visual Studio.NET Enterprise Architect."
I have tried this using VS 2008 Professional and Team Edition. The operating systems is Vista x64 Ultimate.
Oracle documentation doesn't mention any specific VS version so this is perhaps something else. Is there a workaround or fix to get around this?
TIA,
Kari

OK, I'll give it a try. This suggestion makes perfect sense. I have used that template to create a project before, but noticed that it doesn't contain a windows form by default and so I assumed that it was a build for a n-tier application database access class, which is not necessarily what I want, and so I abandoned the effort. I know I can add a window form. I appreciate the response and will post back my results.
Is there an example project somewhere that I could download and have a look at?
Thanks again for your reply, even though you didn't reply to me. I think you resolved my problem! :-)

Unable to do adjustments for PO Receipt Accrual in Oracle Projects

We are working on Release 11.5.10.
The Allow Adjustments flag for the transaction sources in Projects for receipt accruals (Oracle Purchasing Receipt Accruals) and For Supplier Invoices (Oracle Payables Invoice Variance) are not updatable. Since we are using the Accrue on Receipt option, so only the Invoice variance amount is tranferred to Oracle Projects from Accounts payables. There are situations when the cost gets booked to a wrong task or wrong Project. In such case the adjustments to receipt accruals and Invoice Variance needs to be done. But the same cannot happen in Oracle projects without enabling the Allow Adjustments flag, which is not updatable in Release 11i. How can we make any adjustments to receipt accruals and Supplier Invoices matched with the PO Receipts in Release 11i?
Appreciate any Pointers on this.

Hi
In PO receiving form, enter a transaction of type Correction or Return to Receiving, with minus the quantity you want to adjust. This will be a negative transaction to the original project and task.
Then update the PO line distribution to the new project and task. Finally enter another receipt / deliver transaction to the new project and task.
Run the PRC: Interface Supplier Cost. This process will create new transactions in the old and new projects. The new transactions are linked to the same PO, same line number as the original PO Accrual transaction.
If the supplier invoice have not yet entered in AP, then entering a supplier invoice, matching to the PO will get the variances charge to the new project.
Other wise, you might want to reverse the matching, and reenter the match to the new distribution.
You could also enter a MIX supplier invoice which has the amount as zero. In such invoice enter a negative distribution line to the old project, and a positive distribution line to the new project.

Do you recommend me "Learning Oracle 11g Training DVD - Tutorial Video"?

Hi
I found on Amazon "Learning Oracle 11g Training DVD - Tutorial Video by InfiniteSkills". Is it worth it? There are no Amazon reviews :-(
Do you use other video training? What do you recommend me?

I don't know if the video is any good, but Lewis Cunningham is a reasonably well-known authority on Oracle. He talks about the release of the video in his blog, gives a table of contents and a link to some samples:
