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.

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

Oracle Application DBA certifcation

I am currently studying to become Oracle Application server 10g certified. I have read this book so far: "Oracle Application Server 10g Administration" by John Germany and Burlson. It was a good starting for me - even thou it is a little hard to digest all in just one read. I had to read it twice to get a grip on in. Now that I am much more farmaliar with OAS 10g, I am looking forward to reading "OCA Oracle Application Server 10g Administrator Exam Guide (Exam 1Z0-311)" to complete my reading for the Exam.
On a special note, I am currently OCA & OCP 10g certified, what do I need to do, in addition to what I am already doing to get ready for the Application Server 10g certification?

I think the key reference is: http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=158. If you continue to 10g OAS OCP you will need to attend a specialist course; but it is not a requirement for 10g OAS OCA.
Thank you for the info. What I gathered from the above link is that since I am an OCP, I don't need the training. All I will need is to become OCA for OAS and I can take my OCP for OAS 10G when I have enough experience to take the exam.For these OAS OCA/OCP Certifications whether or not you are a DBA OCP has no influence.
For OAS OCA there is no required training for that certication.
However to obtain OAS OCP it is a pre-prequisite you has submitted and had verified you have attended one of the applied courses.
Obiovusly the relevant exams must also be passed.
Edited by: bigdelboy on 18-May-2010 15:10 Albert has kindly pointed out an error in this answer; for which I would like to thank him. (This is a very silly bigdelboy answer). There is indeed a third option on the link which allows a DBA OCP to complete OAS OCP Certification without taking any further course

Information regarding Oracle Applications certifications

If anybody has any idea about the certifications of Oracle Applications (Finance modules); Kindly share it across.
With regards,
Ribhu Kumar

The first exam in the certification track, Oracle 11i E-Business Suite Essentials, is now available and you can attend a course for it or utilize CD based training to cover the exam content. Personally, Id rather learn off a CD so I think Ill be going that route. I couldnt find much more on the Oracle site about these certification tracks and what other exams are going to be included so if you know something I dont, please add your comments.
The mail from the OPN reads as follows:
Oracle University is announcing the availability of the first 11i eBusiness Applications Certified Professional Consultant programme including:
Oracle 11i Financials Certified Professional Consultant
Oracle 11i Supply Chain Certified Professional Consultant
Oracle 11i Applications Technology Certified Professional Administrator
As a valued OPN Certified partner, Oracle is pleased to invite you to participate in the pre-launch beta exam process!
Special price
During the beta period, all of the exams are available at a special price of US $50. Once the introductory period expires, all online exams will be available at US $90 and testing center based exams will be priced at US $200 (partner and internal discounts apply).
No training required
Typically Oracle requires in-class training as a part of the certification track. However, for this period of time, candidates will receive a waiver for the course attendance requirement. Those candidates who can pass the exams and finish the exam requirements without taking a training course are eligible to do so during this waiver period.
Note: All exams for a track must be completed during the waiver period.
Please be aware that not all of the exams are currently available.
The first exam, 1Z0-200: Oracle 11i E-Business Essentials, is available now! This pre-requisite exam is part of the Oracle 11i Financials and Oracle 11i Supply Chain certification tracks, and is the first step in getting certified.
Expect to see a notification as the other exams become available too.

Where can i download the oracle applications software for DBA

Hi,
I want to know few things regarding oracle applications.
1) What exactly is oracle applications
2) Where can i download the oracle applications software
3) I am currently working as oracle DBA, so i want to enhance the dba skills to oracle application, so where can i find further help,documentation related to oracle applications and dba related to that.

Oracle Applications is an integrated ERP solution, with Finance, Manufacturing and CRM modules. Please visit appsnet for further information.
Unlike other Oracle products, Oracle doesnot give free software downloads for Oracle Applications. They were once giving trial versions for about 40 USD. Now I am not sure, please check up Oracle website www.oracle.com. Look for link on "e-business suite" under the 'products' directory.
If you can get hold of documentation on 11i, you can check out System Administration and Application Object Library (AOL) modules, these fall in your area. You can find this on oracle website or metalink.
Be aware that general Oracle DBA on 8i or 9i is a different ballgame than managing 11i. Lot of websites are available for these harried people, and for more information, you can visit the websites www.appsdba.com, www.oncalldba.com or do a general google search.
If you can get hold of a book "OCP for Oracle Financials 11.0" by Christopher Allen and Vivian Chow, this has good documentation on above two modules. But this is in 11.0, not 11i.
Hope this helps.

Oracle Application Performance Tuning

Hello all,
Please forgive me if I am asking this in the wrong section.
I am a s/w engineer with 2 years of exp. I have been working as a performance tuning resource for Oracle EBS in my company. The work mostly involved SQL tuning and dealing with indexes etc. In this time I took up interest in DBA stuff and I completed my OCA in Oracle 10g. Now my comany is giving me an oppurtunity to move into an Application DBA team and I am totally confused about it.
Becoming an Apps DBA will mean that the effort I put into the certification in 10g will be of no use. There are other papers for Apps DBA certification. Should I stay put in performance tuning & wait for a Core DBA chance or shall I accept the Apps DBA oppurtunity.
Also, does my exp. in SQL performace tuning hold any value as such with out an exposure to DBA activities?
Kindly guide me in this regards as I am very confused at this juncture.
Regards,
Jithin

Hello bigdelboy , Thank you for your reply.
Yes, By oracle Apps DBA I meant Oracle EBS.
Clearing 1Z0-046 is an option. However, my doubt is will clearing both the exams Admin I and Admin II be of any help without having practical expericnce? The EBS DBA work involves support and patching, cloning, and new node setup etc.
Also, is my performance tuning experience going to help me in any way in the journey forward as a DBA/ EBS DBA?
Thank you for your valuable time.
Regards,
Jithin SarathThe way I read it is this.
People notice you are capable of understanding and performance tuning SQL. And you must have some knowledge of Oracle EBS. And in fact you also have a DBA OCA.
So there is a 98% + chance you can be made into a good Oracle Apps DBA (and core DBA). If I was in their position I'd want you on my team too; this is the way we used to bring on DBA's in the old days before certification and it has a lot of merit still. Okay you can only do limited tasks at first ... but the number of taks you can do will increase dramatically over a number of months.
I would imagine the Oracle Apps DBA will be delighted to have someone on board who can performance tune SQL which sometimes can sometimes seem more like an art than a science. The patching etc can be taught in small doses. If they are a good team they wont try to give you everything at once, they'll get you to learn one procedure at a time.
And remember, if in doubt ask; and if you dont understand ask again. And be safe rather than sorry on actions that could be critial.
If your worried about liinux: Linux Recipes For Oracle Dbas (Apress) might be a good book to read but could be expensive in India
Likewise: (Oracle Applications Dba Field Guide) may suit and even (Rman Recipes For Oracle Database 11 G: A Problem-solution Approach) may have some value if you need to get up to speed quickly in those areas.
These are not perfect but they sometimes consolidate the information neatly; however only buy if you feel they are cheap enough. You may well buy them and feel disappointed (These all happen to be by Apress who seem to have produced a number of good books ... they've also published some rubbish as well)
And go over the 2-day dba examples as well and linux install examples n OTN as well ... they are free compared to the books I mentioned.

"Which career is most rewarding one in terms of . . . Least amount of work"
"which career will be . . . easy to learn"
Since "easy" and "least work" seem important to you, I'd suggest a career in something besides IT. I could make some specific suggestions but run the risk of insulting people who work in those areas.

Hope this forum will help me find the solution.

Difference between oracle 10g dba and oracle 11i apps dba

hi
can any one please explain this.
thank you

Hi,
can any one please explain this.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.
