Oracle Application DBA

This is a humble initiative for providing self help to people who really want to enhance their skills in Oracle Apps DBA, with special emphasis to the Administration area. The main motive behind this initiative has been the difficulties which I had faced when I ventured out to try my hands at Oracle Apps DB Administration. Though there were lots of information available out there in the web, I didn't find most of them handy as they didn't give importance to the fact that many people will look for detailed step by step explanation of each activity. So, I had to go through many channels to finally get the hold on the subject and reach the level I am in today. This was a tough and tedious process, and especially due to this reason, I wanted to come up with a simple and straight forward set of articles which will serve as a kind of "do it yourself" guide for all those who want to venture out to the galaxy of Oracle Apps DB Administration..

Also, anybody wants to contribute any article on Oracle and follows the standards what I have followed, I shall publish the same and I shall mention the author name. I am man who goes by an example, any work done should be able to be used by any lay person that is the whole idea of this site.

Happy learning!!

This website is free for lifetime, and if you guys are happy with the articles and feel that it has given a value addition you can always donate to http://www.vedanta-edu.org without there encouragement I wouldn't have reached so peak.

This site is been hosted by znet India, I really appreciate them. The content management is done using PHP, MySQL and Apache, thanks to my manager at Cambridge Solutions who has helped me to learn web designing.

Excellent Idea
Posted on: 2008-04-10 07:16:51 By: Anonymous

Kishore,

Idea of starting the site for knowledge share was excellent. I hope this site will become popular and helpful to the oracle apps world.

I have gone through ur "My Seven days of experience in Virginia" and " Good Morning America – It works ". Good one. While reading these articles the first impression i got is you are the person who enjoys the work whatever u do whether it is oracle apps or cooking :-).. I must say u r the allrounder in all the areas of computeres - Hardare and S/W. I came to know by ur mail that you know almost every s/w and configuring hardware on ur own( I remember Which is our Guru Nekkanti's aspire) . Would like to write some articles in this site with your kind permission.

I hope this site will be helpful to ORACLE WORLD..

Regards,

Honestly to get a job, prepare your resume with 3 to 4 years experience, have a system in you home, practise all the DBA/Apps DBA activities, Google is so cool, you get whatever you want.

Practise all the regular Oracle DBA activities like Installation, Backup, Recovery, upgrades, Cloning, Patching etc, Prepare for OCP Certification, Dream about it, and one day you will succeed, if possible work as faculty

Don't worry about experience certificates, there should be some company in world who may like your talent :)

Hello, Good afternoon sir.I m now doing the core DBA course and i want to go for the back end.So can you please suggest me which will be better for me i.e ORACLE APPS TECHNICAL or ORACLE RAC DBA ???. Please suggest me . Regards Debabrata padhi

Re: Excellent Idea Posted on: 2012-01-22 23:14:45 By: akr14feb
If you have done core DBA course, you have 2 choices to proceed, the first one is Oracle RAC or Oracle Apps DBA But first gain your confidence on Oracle DBA on Linux and Unix platform Kishore

amazing Idea Posted on: 2012-02-23 10:46:19 By: rstiwari
I think you are amazing . This is a best Idea to share our knowledge through online network. If it is possible to share knowledge with help of class room (workshop). I am from India and I think RAC and other oracle or other training is so costly. it is good idea for improving knowledge.

Hello all.
My name is Anup. I want to learn Oracle Apps DBA. Some of my friends are working as Ora App DBAs and they suggested me to go for it. When I asked about that course in some institutions they are suggesting me to first learn Oracle DBA and then do Apps. But my friends have a basic knowledge of Oracle and they said to directly learn Apps. Please give me some suggestion whether I have to learn DBA first & then Apps or directly Apps is OK.

Re: Oracle DBA & Oracle Apps DBA Posted on: 2008-07-08 01:14:32 By: akr14feb
Hi, That's right, first we need to work as Oracle DBA then you will be comfortable working in Oracle Apps DBA that also u need to work in Linux/Unix environment. Its long way to go but you need to plan your career path accordingly and you will succeed. Regards Kishore

Well,
Oracle DBA is just maintaining the Oracle database alone, but Oracle Applications is step forward, you have to maintain the Oracle Applications and the Database. Most of the activities are same as Oracle DBA, like taking backups, But here as Oracle Apps DBA, you will be involved in cloning,patching, system adminstration etc. Also, the billing rates are much better then Oracle DBA.

Please go through the below link, what you need to know as a Oracle Applications DBA.

Dear Mr.Kishore,

First of all, I sincerely congratulate for maintaining a wonderful site with excellent updates about the e-business suite which provides a wealth of knowledge to the seekers.

I have been a regular visitor of your articles and also been working as an Apps dba in UK. I have a small request for you. I would like to write 11i Apps DBA exam so which one should i write? I am bit confused with the numbers. Is it IZO-233? Since i am a certified 10g OCP dba i think i can write oracle IZO-233 to become 11i ebusiness suite dba. Could you please let me know which exam should i appear for.

Thanks in advance

For Developer path, Developer forms, Oracle Apps Technical, OAF, XML/BI Publisher, SOA etc.... Thanks Kishore

Hi,

You are mixing Oracle DBA and Oracle Apps funcationals modules, a Oracle Apps DBA need not know about the Apps modules, there are different people working on Oracle Apps

> Funcational Consultants / Apps Domains Analysts / business Analysts
> Technical Consultants
> Oracle Apps DBA / System Adminsitrators
> Linux / Unix Adminstrators

Each area is a ocean and you need to choose the right path, for a Oracle DBA, Oracle Apps DBA is related where he works on below activities

> Installation
> Patches
> AD Administration
> Cloning
> System Adminstrations
> Upgrades
> Backups etc

Hi Kishore.

This is Danesh, new to world of APPS i had seen your blog its good & informative.

I started interviews in Apps. because in institutes they will not tell the proper up-gradation and real-time scenarios.

I am having some doubts in 11i to R12 upgrade pls check.

1. During upgradation why we have to drop MRC schema?

2. Why ADI patch is required?

3. Why ATG patches required?

4. why we have to create or increase the size of tablespaces & which tablespaces we have to create? during upgrade?

5. why we have to apply autoconfig patches? because autoconfig is already present?

6. Can i practice a basic upgrade in my laptop from 11i to R12? what i need?

7. why we have to apply patchset 19 for developer? for 11i what is the patch version for developer?

8. we have to increase the block size also during upgrade?

9. What are symbolic links? when it is required?

10. One of my friend said every upgrade is different what it mean?

Danesh,

Here are my responses

1. During upgradation why we have to drop MRC schema?

Kishore - if you are upgrading from 11.5.9 or 11.5.10.2 to R12 we don't MRC, I am not sure with earlier version. I think that schema is not available in 11.5.9 or 11.5.10.2

2. Why ADI patch is required?

Kishore - See these threads/docs.

version of ADI release?
http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=4234809

Note: 144270.1 - How to Find ADI (Applications Desktop Integrator) Patches on My Oracle Support?
Note: 184090.1 - How to Find and Download the Latest Applications Desktop Integrator (ADI) Patches via Metalink
Note: 382973.1 - How to Get the Latest Version of ADI Patches From Metalink

Thanks,
Hussein

3. Why ATG patches required?

Kishore - If you want 11.5.10.2 to work with 11g database then we apply interoperability patches, ATG rollup 7 is mandatory before you can upgrade

4. why we have to create or increase the size of tablespaces & which tablespaces we have to create? during upgrade?

Kishore - 11.5.9 follow "one product -- one schema", R12 uses OATM techonology, In OATM fewer tablespaces are used, patch 7197489 has more details which creates the necessary tablespaces.

5. why we have to apply autoconfig patches? because autoconfig is already present?

Kishore - It is always advisible to keep autoconfig patches to the latest, this may be a pre-req for other patches

6. Can i practice a basic upgrade in my laptop from 11i to R12? what i need?

Kishore It depents on the configuration you have, if you have 4 GB with 400 GB HDD u can try

7. why we have to apply patchset 19 for developer? for 11i what is the patch version for developer?

Kishore - This is pre-req, if you are upgrading the database to latest version. Refer interoperability patches note

8. we have to increase the block size also during upgrade?

Kishore - I have never done during my upgrade experience

9. What are symbolic links? when it is required?

Kishore - In computing, a symbolic link (also symlink or soft link) is a special type of file that contains a reference to another file

If you install R12 on Oracle Enterprise linux, apache fails and here is the solution

ln -s /usr/lib/libgdbm.so.2.0.0 /usr/lib/libdb.so.2

Also, we create a symbolic link for the Apps environement file as follows instead of copying it

APPSEBS.env -> /d02/oracle/EBS/apps/apps_st/appl/APPSEBS_linux1.env

10. One of my friend said every upgrade is different what it mean?

Kishore - Yes, your friend is right, I have done 5 upgrades and each was different experiences, one was 11.5.9 to R12.1.3, other was OS upgrade AIX to Linux and Application upgrade from 11.5.10.2 to R12.1.3. The experience count but it may slightely vary.

Have a Great Day !!!

Queries from Sohail
Posted on: 2012-10-03 18:11:43 By: akr14feb

Query 1

Hi Kishore.

This is Sohail fresher to APPS hunting for a job. It was nice to see your blog its very informative.specially patching & Cloining.

i have some doubts pls clear.

1. when i submitted Active users request only the result is displaying request submitted sucessfully. i think this request is submitted to check how many acitve users are connected to the application.

purpose for submitting this request.

Thanks in Advance.
Sohail

Here is my responses

Hmm, the Active users - only will let us know the Active users in out database but not connected users

Use the below link to the connected users

http://onlineappsdba.blogspot.in/2008/05/count-total-number-of-users-connected.html

Thanks
Kishore

Thank u kishore

Sohail

Query 2

Hi Kishore,

Hope you are fine, pls check this doubt.

In one of my friends company every first week of the month they are running Accounting report from front end.

which is generating huge archive logs and they are increasing space also in archive logs destination.

They are using R12.

My doubt is just to understand this business application.

1. What is this accounting report & when to run this accounting report.
2. Why it is taking more space in archive log destination.
3. Accounting report is a request which will submitted by the application users ?

Pls clear this.

Regard's.

Kishore

Honestly for a Apps DBA it doesn't matter what report they run, if they require space we just add them, there ends the story, we don't really care what a program does.

Thanks
Kishore

Thank u somuch
Sohail

Query 3

Hi Kishore.

Hope you are fine.

1. what is the difference between EXADATA & Oracle E-Business Suite?

2. what is the difference between ORACLE10g AS & Oracle E-Business Suite?

Today i given one interview on core dba this company is having very large setup they said & they are maintainng

Exadata & Oracle10g AS.

Hi -

Oracle Exadata is a database appliance with support for both OLTP and OLAP workloads. It was initially designed in collaboration between Oracle Corporation and Hewlett Packard where Oracle designed the database, operating system (based on the Oracle Linux distribution), and storage software whereas HP designed the hardware for it

ORacle EBS is for maintaining Oracle Applications like Oracle Finiancials , ORacle HRMS , Oracle manufacturing etc

ORACLE10g AS is an application server mainly for http requests..., now it is been replaced by Fusion middleware - Weblogic Server

Thanks
Kishore

Query 4

1. Where apps passwd stores in R12?

Kishore - apps password is not stored in Oracle R12

2. How to clone a application in 11i & R12 if your application contains Custom Top? pls tell the steps.

Kishore - Clone steps remain the same for custom top, for custom top u only do one change

cd $APPL_TOP

-- create and modify the location in the below file

customDEV_racerp.env

Thanks & Regard's,

Sohail.

Query 5

1. Dataguard protect your database save how you protect the application can we configure data guard in oracle application to save from disaster recovery?

( Interview Question)

Thanks & Regard's,

Sohail.

Hi Sohail,

for apps tier, every one hour we just sync files from PROD to disaster recovery site, we actually use rsync command, which will only copy the changed values

Kishore

Hi Kishore,

Thanks for your reply. before runnning this rysnc command how we have to configure data guard in application level?

i know how to configure dataguard in database level.

Pls tell me the steps how to do this. this is an interview question asked me france bank. i need the steps pls.

Hi,

The below commad is the syntax for rsync, which does a smart copy, the command can be scheduled to run evey one hour

rsync -rltp -v prodappl /x06/oracle/testssc/ &
rsync -rltp -v prodcomn /x06/oracle/testssc/ &
rsync -rltp -v prodora /x06/oracle/testssc/ &

Regards
Kishore

Thanks Kishore. for resync doubt

Sohail

Query 6

Hi Kishore. Hope you are fine. pls check these doubts in Cmclean.

1. what is the difference between cmclean.sql and EXEC FND_CONC_CLONE.SETUP_CLEAN;
2. where is the location of cmclean.sql script?
3. why after running cmclean we have to give commit;
4. When to run cmclean.sql ?
5. when to run EXEC FND_CONC_CLONE.SETUP_CLEAN ?

Regard's,
Sohail.

1. what is the difference between cmclean.sql and EXEC FND_CONC_CLONE.SETUP_CLEAN;

cmclean is normally used when cm doesn't come up, EXEC FND_CONC_CLONE.SETUP_CLEAN will clean fnd_nodes tables after we run autoconfig on db and apps tier which populate the table

2. where is the location of cmclean.sql script?

cmclean is available at Oracle Metalink, attached the same

3. why after running cmclean we have to give commit;

it cleans the concurrent requests which are either lost which are called runaway processes or not completed, once we run this scripts it fixed this issues and we do need to commit to make the changes permanent

4. When to run cmclean.sql ?

when cm is not coming up, sometimes we bring down the database without shutting the concurrent processsion server, all the requests are in middle, the cm not come up, so you need to run cmclean to make this requests closed so that cm can come up

Sohail

Hi Kishore

You Said..

Cm clean is normally used when cm doesn't come up Ok its fine.

1. But still not understood why to run this EXEC FND_CONC_CLONE.SETUP_CLEAN you said it will clean fnd _nodes tables after we run autoconfig.

what it will clean from fnd _nodes ?

2. After running cm clean we have to run this EXEC FND_CONC_CLONE.SETUP_CLEAN or plstell me the sequence of running this two commands?

3. How we have to run cmclean after downloading from metallink from which node and what is the syntax? & what are the prerequisites. like in your attachment i read we have to

bring down concurrent managers.....

EXEC FND_CONC_CLONE.SETUP_CLEAN is only used for when you clone from PROD to TEST or when database name is changed.

cmclean is used when cm doesn't come up

bring down application, all concurrent managers should be down

now run cmclean.sql connecting as apps user

Sohail

NOW ITS CLEAR

Posted on: 2012-10-05 09:40:27 By: akr14feb

1. OATM feature is it club all the tablespaces into 14 tablespaces i think?

pls explain OATM how it reduces the burden on application and how easy for apps dba to manage by comparing to
old version of tablespaces ?

Kishore - For apps version 11.5.10 and older, each product had one tablespace, using OATM u can convert tablespaces to fewer tablespaces, in net u should get the information, we did for couple of clients

2. can i add datafile or resize APPS_TS_TX_DATA ?

Kishore - Yes, we normally suggest 20% fee space, if it is less then we add datafile

3. if data is inserting on a datafiles which is connected to APPS_TS_TX_DATA and that datafile table is indexed

how APPS_TS_TX_IDX will grow my doubt is how rapidly APPS_TS_TX_IDX will grow?

Kishore - Why you are worried about it, we normally have maintain the database leave other to Oracle to maintain

5. How to administrator APPS_TS_TX_IDX tablespace like adding or rebuilding indexes?

Kishore - The same way you do for any tablespace. For adding we use the below command

alter tablespace APPS_TS_TX_IDX add datafile '/d01/oracle/TEST/db/apps_st/data/a_txn_ind19.dbf' size 200m autoextend on next 200m maxsize 2000m;

Doubts in Forms & Reports - RAJ CHAUDHRY
Posted on: 2012-10-03 18:24:29 By: akr14feb

Hi Kishore

In realtime

1. When we have to compile forms & when we have to compile reports?

2. What will happen when we compile forms ? pls tell what happen internally.

3. What will happen when we compile reports? how this compilation happens internally.

Regards,

Raj.

Hi Raj,

1. When we have to compile forms & when we have to compile reports?

Kishore - mostly for custom forms and custom reports, we only compile forms but for reports it is just a copy in binary format

2. What will happen when we compile forms ? pls tell what happen internally.

Below commands are used for compile forms,once compilation is done, fmx (runtime version) is copied to corresponding custom top location which is mentioned as output_file

11i
f60gen userid=apps/apps module=xxtest.fmb output_file=$XXTEST_TOP/forms/US/xxerp.fmx module_type=form

R12
frmcmp_batch module=xxerp.fmb userid=apps/apps compile_all=special batch=yes output_file=$XXTEST_TOP/forms/US/xxerp.fmx

3. What will happen when we compile reports? how this compilation happens internally.

There is no compilation of reports, we directly copy the rdf file

Dear Kishore sir,

I am a post graduate in commerce and 36 yrs old and having experience in bpo for 6 years....

I know it is too late but now I am pursuing oracle apps dba from pansoft Pune (Maharashtra) ...

just want to know does it require any prior experience or knowledge on oracle and also does age factor plays any role in getting a oracle apps dba job?

Kindly reply and remove my confusion

thanking u in anticipation

Re: oracle apps dba Posted on: 2012-12-19 13:49:49 By: akr14feb
Good to know about you, first you need to be comfortable with Oracle DBA on Linux/Unix platform, Age surely matters but confidence on the subject matters. You may need to tweak your resume accordinlgy, without keeping 3 years of experience it would be difficult to get a job for your age Thanks Kishore

Hi Sir, I am dying to get few answers. Everyone says "KNOWLEDGE SHOULD BE SHARED"....but never happens. I have few questions...can you help me. Ur patience and co-operation is needed.

My questions
Posted on: 2012-12-21 21:08:55 By: Arijit13

Some of the questions are answered by me. Please checha and if any anything more I need to add please suggest.

1. umask and top command
It is used to define the default permission. When we make a file or directory it has a permission. Eg a directory has 777 permission. Umask is 022. So 777 – 022 is 755.
Top comapnd is used to find the CPU usage.
2. Can I delete Concurrent Manager
to delete a concurrent manager :

You can disable the manager by checking the 'Enabled' checkbox You can simply Terminate the manager and it will not run
again unless you reactivate it. Or, if you really, really want to, you can query the manager in the 'Define Manager' form, and
delete the row. (But DONT do this) .
Note: While checking the enable checkbox make sure the manager is deactivated.

3. i want to know how many users are connected from operating Systems

4. how many users connected to database? Does it mean active users.

5. How to find out the PMON cycle and queee size of Concurrent manager

6. How to find out no of products, active users and concurrent users?

Select count(*) from fnd_products_installations and active users by v$session and concurrent user fnd_user

7. In access log file error 400, 302 and 500? What does it mean? What need to be done?

8. What ate the pre-requisites need to be done before applying a patch?

I need to go through the readme.txt, enable maintaince mode, check invalid counts and also go through the patch wizard becaz it tells the affect of applying the patch, makes a comparisation between patch applied and recommended patches and list out the files in the patch and products with updated files.

Anything else we need to do?

9. I submitted a concurrent request.It was running fine and it takes just 5 minutes to finish..Bt today its taking 1hr bt still its not yet been finished.Then how do you troubleshoot?Plz explain all the possiblities?

10. If mountpoint gets full then how will we know..everytime we dont go to the server and we wont issue df -h.Then how can we know that its getting full

11. )Patch was applied fine in test instance bt when it came to production instance its taking lot of time then how to troubleshoot

12. )On development instance you are applying patch.But you couldnt complete it within maintainence time..then what will you do?will you up the instance without applying the patch or what will you do that time

13. how many concurrent users are currently loggedin to the application and database
select SESSIONS_MAX,
SESSIONS_WARNING,
SESSIONS_CURRENT,
SESSIONS_HIGHWATER,
USERS_MAX
from v$license
SESSIONS_MAX NUMBER Maximum number of concurrent user sessions allowed for the instance
SESSIONS_WARNING NUMBER Warning limit for concurrent user sessions for the instance
SESSIONS_CURRENT NUMBER Current number of concurrent user sessions
SESSIONS_HIGHWATER NUMBER Highest number of concurrent user sessions since the instance started
USERS_MAX NUMBER Maximum number of named users allowed for the database

14. What is a snapshot? In which table we get Information?

15. How will check Apache is working in Front-end and Back End
Since Apache is a combination of Jserve and modplsql we can check if the links like httpd:hostname:portno:Jerve: HELLO and httpd:hostname:portno:pls:PROD are working or not or else try to submit a request or anything we can’t do it.
16. What happened Relink adslpice and adpatch?
When the executables are corrupted we do relink operation. It will regerate the executables .
17. What are Oracle Apps DBA Important Tables we use in daily activities

Since we submit requests everyday so the tables would be
Fnd_concurrent_requets, fnd_concurrent_processes, fnd_concurrent_programs and fnd_concurrent_quees.

Any other tables

18. What are the tables updated and created when you apply application patch
Ad_bugs, ad_applied_patches, ad_patch_drivers
Any other tables?
19. Opatch log file location

20. ADPATCH has failed and it indicated there was an error with a worker. What steps can be taken to investigate this problem

See the worker log file rectify the error and restart the worker.

21. Unable to Bring Up Concurrent Manager after Running Autoconfig

22. Can I clone from one operating system version to another?

Yes we can. Eg from solaries lower version to solaries higher version. But not from solaries to windows.
23. What is the difference between Concurrent Requests, Programs, and Processes

24. When you apply C driver patch does it require database to be Up & Why

Yes because it needs to access the D.B to update so many tables,views etc

25. What are invalid objects and Why do I have invalid objects? What causes them? How you identify them

26. Is there a file that lists all of the patches that have been applied to the application

27. What is the difference between apps listener & web listener

Web listener is a component of Apache. Whenever we start the Apache by issuing the command adapcctt.sh it starts the web listener. It is used to receive requests for Apache
However apps listener is a combination of FNDFS and FNDSM. In multi node apps listener is configured in all the nodes. It is started by apachecl.sh or lsnrctl start APPS_$SID

28. Why only for Concurrent Manager, we specify apps/apps password & not for other

29. How do I configure AutoConfig for a multi-node system
30. How do you identify the No. of nodes in Middle tier and db Tier

Is it fnd_nodes

66. What is a Shared APPL_TOP? How do you identify whether it is a shared appl_TOP or not

To know whether the environment is shared APPL_TOP or not , login to first Middle Tier & create any file (like abc.txt) in the APPL_TOP. Now logout & login to other Middle Tier. If you can see that respective file in APPL_TOP, this means you are having shared APPL_TOP.

31. Where are the Application usrs details stored

32. How to find plsql version?

33. Can we start a db in case of shared and unified apple top from middle tier?
Yes for unified appl_top we can but what about shared apple_top

34. Which ORACLE HOME is used by ad utilities

35. Is it possible to revert the patch application? Explain in detail how?

Dear All,
I am new user. I did B.E in computer in 2006 but still I am not able to settle in my career. Though I have exp of 4 years but that is in different different field. And most of the IT companies reuired exp in perticular field. I think I am good at oracle apps dba.
Some of my friends suggested me to put fake exp and go ahead.
I am in confusion what to do. is there any alternate way so that i do not need to put exp and I can join as Apps DBA.

Eagarly waiting for reply.

Re: Need guidance Posted on: 2013-03-12 22:12:44 By: akr14feb
Good Decision, but before becoming Apps DBA, you need get comfort level on Oracle DBA on Linux or Unix platform, then Apps DBA would be fine. All the Best Regards Kishore

Need your suggestion

Hi Kishore,
It was great to know you through this site and various forums. I have 7 years of development and maintenance experience in Mainframe batch technology (DB2,COBOL,JCL,VSAM). Currently there is not much market for Mainframes. I initially thought to go with DB2 DBA as it would be similar to my work expertise but then considering future requirement in mind, I thought it would be better to with Oracle DBA or SAP. SAP needs good domain knowledge as well. I see future good for both these areas. But considering my technical knowledge, I am in a mindset to go with Oracle only. People are saying that SAP will overtake oracle also but I don't see it likely happening in near future.
I have good DB2 SQL knowledge. Need your suggestion on how to go about and what to learn in Oracle which has lot of current and future demand.

Thanks in advance,
Venkateswari

Hello,

Welcome to World of Oracle.

Well if you are in SAP or Oracle then you are safe, both will be leaders now and in future, for SAP no need to have functional knowledge, basis administration is equivalent to Oracle Apps DBA.

Well when it comes to Oracle, you can start with Oracle DBA on Linux and Unix, once you gained confidence u can go with Oracle RAC or Oracle Apps DBA.

Have a test system, and using Oracle VM u can have a instance for practise purposes. some of the good sites like http://www.oraclebase.com and http://idevelopment.info have ample information for Oracle DBA. Do certifcation on Oracle.

Revert for further queries.

All the Best !!!

Kishore

Hi Kishore, its been wonderful reading this blog & to share the knowledge. I would like to know if there is any project on appsdba we can do, as we do not have any realtime exp, so that this project can help us indepth. Regards, Altaf

Re: Apps DBaa Project Posted on: 2013-05-03 13:57:38 By: akr14feb
Altaf, Couple of activities u can take up, right from Installation, patching, cloning and also the upgrade from R11 to R12 are some of tasks a Apps DBA does. Practice in your desktop or laptop mail me for further queries. Cheers A.Kishore

Re: Apps DBaa Project Posted on: 2013-05-20 11:31:24 By: altaf_bacs
HI, thank you Kishore for your reply. I want 2 knw is there any institute that can provide me with Apps R12 a project. Since, cloning & patching would be difficult at home. AS i already undergone training, if any institute can provide project facility by taking minimal fee, since they dont have to train me & work around me unlike a new trainee.

Re: Apps DBaa Project
Posted on: 2013-05-20 14:22:09 By: altaf_bacs

HI Kishore, Thk you for the response.

I tried to practise at home, since i dont have patches im unable to do patching & upgradations from 11i to R12 .. other AD activities im performing. However, if i get a chance to do a project i can work on patching & upgradations as i dont have patches & for upgradation too. Do you know any institute where they provide projects by taking minimal fee or only lab facility ..

Regards,

Altaf

Hi My daughter works in EBS R12 as trainee for patching. she is working for 6 months,is it the right career path considering the future of EBS, or should move as developer. The other option to look at is the content side of ebs instead of patching. Could you provide us your thoughts on this. Regards Albert
