Oracle Financials/Applications DBA

My backgound is in economics and commercial banking, but I have had the opportunity of doing unit cost analysis for some of commercial banking products with use of large database.
I want to start a career in DBA (with Application Development experience)
Please assist with any relevant information on how to get started.
I would like to learn Oracle DBA with some exposures to Oracle Financials.
Thanks,
John.

  • Oracle Financials Applications

    Hi Friends!
    I do not know where to put the Oracle Apps related questions hence I am posting my question here. Pleasae bare with me.
    In Oracle Apps, I could not find heavily used referential integrity kind of things in the tables used by apps (as far as I know in Manufacturing and purchasing tables). If I am wrong please let me know. I wonder why Oracle does not apply its Integrity concepts in its own product.
    Could anyone explain me?
    Thanks.

    Oracle indeed used referential integrity in all its apps including purchasing and manufacturing. A cursory look at the technical refrence manuals of the apps and the way the columns in the tables are inter-dependent showed this, I guess. If perhaps you are interested in some specific type of referential intergrity (which might only be specific to your client/company) then, this is different ball game. You can carefully create this as an extention to your installation instance and if this is of general public importance then make a suggestion to Oracle Applications development group using the appropriate channels.
    I hope this helps.

  • Username and password for oracle financials

    Hi,
         Can anyone help me in finding out the username and password for oracle financials application.
         Thanks in advance
    Jaya

    Many Applications users are predefined in the Vision Demo database. The following username/password pairs have System Administrator responsibility:
    - SYSADMIN/sysadmin
    - MFG/welcome
    - OPERATIONS/welcome
    - SERVICES/welcome
    - MRC/welcome
    - HRMS/welcome
    If you have a fresh database, you can try SYSADMIN and/or OPERATIONS account.
    All application users are defined in FND_USER table.

  • DBA responsibilities for Oracle Financials

    I'm an Oracle DBA. But my company wants me to learn some Oracle Financials. What's the responsibilities of a DBA or what usually a DBA is required to do on Oracle Financials?
    Thanks.

    As a DBA, you should be good in Oracle System Administration module,and Application Object Library.
    In addition, knowledge of functional flows and processes would be an added help

  • Oracle Financials and Forms Applications Integration

    Hi All,
    I am new to Oracle financials forums and i have few trivial questions. One of our customer has our forms application now the customer wants to integrate that with ORACLE Financials. Is it possible and if so how, please elaborate or help me with relevant links or examples, URL's, case studies from where i can pick some good approximation about integration.
    Our application version 10g Forms application version - 10.1.2.3 running with 10g Database.
    1) How this can be done.
    2) Are there any past case studies with similar approach which was successfully implemnted.
    3) What are the restrictions if this cant be done.
    My questions might be quiet trivial. I request the forum users to participate and discuss on this.
    Thanks in advance

    Thanks for the documents.
    Yes we have a product running with Forms 11g. So with your experience can you share similar documents or any notes which doesn't supports any of the forms features or compatibility issues which would arise while integrating. Though i understand this is a open ended question at this point in time, just want to grab the knowledge of PRO's like you on this subject. Hope you help me on this.

  • Regarding Oracle Application DBA

    Hi,
    Can u pls tell me is there any difference between Oracle Application DBA or Oracle DBA.Does it have major effect in terms of job post?Eagerly awaiting for ur reply.
    Regards,
    sudhir

    Very big difference with respect to training and skills
    And Oracle DBA needs to know $ORACLE_BASE and $ORACLE_HOME.
    An Apps DBA needs to be familiar with these plus $APPL_TOP, $COMN_TOP, $PROD_TOP, and much much more including Application Servers, JAR files, EAR files, and, again, much much more.

  • Difference between Oracle 11i Apps DBA & Oracle Application server 10g DBA

    Hi All....
    can anyone explain me the *"Difference between Oracle 11i Apps DBA & Oracle Application server 10g DBA"*
    Can Oracle 11i Apps DBA work in a Oracle Application server 10g DBA environment.
    Regards,

    Oracle Apps is a suite of financial applications.
    Oracle Application server is Oracle's scaled up implementation of Apache or Weblogic or similar products.
    While Oracle Apps might use Oracle Application Server as middleware, Oracle Apps is much, much more than Oracle Application Server.
    An Oracle Apps DBA is primarily busy on the functional side, and with implementing an ongoing stream of patches ;)
    The two functions have almost nothing in common.

    HI,
    I am an Oracle dba with more than 4 years or experience. I am interested in moving towards being Oracle application dba. can anyone sugest books/course/tranning/web site that will help me.
    TIA
    Sonal

    There's not a whole lot out there book/web wise that I have ever

    flexfields, workflow, etc that would also help. Good luck.

  • Oracle App. DBA:Query

    Hi Experts,
    I'm a Oracle DBA, however i wanted to know what is the work of oracle application administrator. Can onyone suggests me what in oracle app. i should learn.
    Thanks
    Shaan

    Can onyone suggests me what in oracle app. i should learn.An Oracle Applications DBA is very different from a regular Oracle database administrator and requires specialized skills in business administration and Oracle application server architectures. The Oracle Applications DBA job role is less compartmentalized than a traditional Oracle DBA and the Oracle Applications DBA must also have skills in these areas:
    - Database Design - Many shops require customized functional extensions and reporting data marts and the Oracle Applications DBA must have outstanding Database design skills.
    - Oracle Application Server - The Oracle Applications DBA must understand the internals of the Oracle concurrent manager and understand how to monitor and tune Oracle Applications.
    - Functional Expertise - Many shops requires a business degree and a general understanding of the Oracle Applications module. For example, accountants are widely used to support Oracle eBusiness Suite (Oracle Financials), and accountants with an IT background are easily trained in Oracle Applications DBA support.

  • Need to learn Oracle Financials-Need Info

    Need to learn Oracle Financials.Anyone with any info.
    Please email [email protected]

    There are so many versions and packages of Oracle. Which one should I learn?
    latest version is oracle 10g
    but i think you will go oracle 9i rel 2
    because all commercial application use oracle 9i database.
    Which is the easiest way to get trained and certified? What kind of certification do I need?
    you need a oracle 9i dba certification
    or may be 9i developer certification
    it up to you
    but oracle 9i dba is more valuable than developer track
    you will learn this from oracle university
    excellent oracle material for ocp (but it is too costly also)
    http://otn.oracle.com/training/index.html
    Or u will read your self
    all oracle docs available athttp://otn.oracle.com/documentation/index.html
    better you will read first this
    http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96524/toc.htm
    download oracle software
    http://otn.oracle.com/software/index.html
    My need: to find a job that was similar to previous ones that I had. My previous job function was to develop database applications using Visual FoxPro,
    in oracle ,oracle developer is used for such type of application
    its front end tool
    gui tool like v.foxpro
    and oracle database is backend tool for store information
    i think v.fox pro perform both work as frontend as backend
    in oracle
    oracle developer is front end(old name is D2k)
    oracle database is back end
    i am also a developer but now find job as dba.
    i am always intersting in DBA . but in IT market
    there is no entry level DBA job and
    its very difficult to go for dba job without experience.
    so my suggestion is
    read your self
    install oracle on u r pc read docs from otn.oracle.com web site
    and find a job on oracle platform
    BEST OF LUCK AND I HOPE YOU WILL GET A BETTER JOB SOON
    hope it will help you
