Use Rapid Install to install complete set of Oracle Applications products.

It installs the required technology stack, creates the Oracle Applications database and then sets up your database listeners, web listener, web server, Forms server, and Reports server.

Single/Multi - node installation is possible.

Vision Demo / Test / Production environments (instances) can be created.

Use http://<SERVER>.<domain>:<http port> URL to access the applications.

Auditing Triggers and Procedures

Auditing: Data

The audit trigger names contain the first 26 characters of the audited table name plus ”_AI”, ”_AU” or ”_AD”, where I, U or Dindicates Insert, Update or Delete, respectively.

The audit procedure names use the first 26 characters of the table name plus ”_AIP”, ”_AUP” or ”_ADP”.


Why Concurrent Processing

Does not interfere with the interactive work you perform at your

computer

Use the Standard Request Submission (SRS) interface to run

reports and programs

View the Status / Output / Log information

Schedule reports and programs

Control access to different reports and programs

Alert on completion

Fully use the capacity of your hardware by executing many

application tasks at once.

ConcurrentManagerDefinition

Run Program A

Run Program B

Specialization Rules Work Shifts

Specialization Rules define which requests a manager can read.

For each work shift,Target Processes is the maximum number of programs the managercan run simultaneously.

Work shifts define when a managerreads requests(is enabled).


Defining a Concurrent Manager

Target Processes


Assign the request type to the appropriate concurrent programs.

Define a request type.

Use the request type in a specialization rule.


Request Type


The Oracle Applications Manager applet allows administrators to perform all Concurrent Manager administration tasks from the Enterprise Manager console.Applications Manager features the same tree and

detail view as other Enterprise Manager tools.


Management Pack for Oracle Applications



Oracle Performance Manager allowsadministrators to monitor performance statistics for Oracle Applications Concurrent Managers and host operating systems. Administrators can display this data in different chart formats.

Oracle Performance Manager


Oracle CapacityPlanner allows administrators to collect and analyze historical performance statistics from Oracle Applications Concurrent Managers and host operating systemsto estimate future capacity requirements.

Alert!

Alert is an entity that monitors your business information and notifies you of the information you want


Alerts: Examples

Purchase Approval: Informs manager that a purchase order needs to be approved

Database monitoring: Informs DBA when database tables need more space

Examples of Event Alerts

Personnel: Monthly shows all employees that have terminated in the last six months

Inventory: Weekly shows when quantity on hand minus quantity ordered is less than reorder quantity

Examples of Periodic Alerts
