    Apps 11i DBA preparation
    Saturday, August 19, 2006
    Register for R12 upgrade
    As I am getting lots of request for how one should prepare for Oracle Apps 11i DBA in
    Technical domain including Sysadmin, I am summing up things you should learn / study in
    order to understand E-Business Suite 11i . The topics mentioned below, which you should
    read in order to become apps DBA or as part of your Oracle Apps DBA training will include
    roles & responsibilities of oracle Apps DBA.

    1. Apps Architecture
    This is key topic & you should be very clear about Oracle Applications/E-Business Suite
    11i components & Architecture. This is base of your knowledge & if you are not clear about
    various components & uses it will be quite difficult in learning Apps.
    Where to find Oracle Applications 11i architecture in Ocean of oracle Application
    technical documentation. Well I agree with you go straight to http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25516_08/current/acrobat/11iconcepts.pdf and go through chapter 1 (Page 13 to Page 32 Just 20 Pages)

    2. Installing Apps 11i
    Next point in apps dba training is Oracle Apps 11i Install using Rapid Install preferably on Linux/Unix
    Where to find Rapid Install 11i Oracle Apps Guide This is guide by Oracle http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25516_08/current/acrobat/r115102ins.pdf for a start Chapter 1 & 2 are enough page 13 to p 63 is enough to understand Installation)
    Where to find Discs / software for Oracle Apps 11i E-Business Suite : You can download it via http://edelivery.oracle.com or order it via your Metalink account . Once you got CD , please do install Apps atleast once in order to understand & to familiarize your self with Oracle Applications

    3. Apps 11i File System/Software
    Once you installed applications 11i using above guide on Unix/Windows/Linux software then login as Operating System User & check directories while going through document
    http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25516_08/current/acrobat/11iconcepts.pdf Chapter 2 Applications File System (P39- 48) very important in understanding Database Server & Application Server Tier & various tops like DATA_TOP, ORA_TOP, APPL_TOP, COMN_TOP, AD_TOP....
    If you know your applications 11i File system you know where to find particular component files & logs .

    I think this is enough for keep you going for 10-15 days , pay as much attention you can on these basics as these are building blocks of your careers as Apps DBA. For remaining tips on how & from what to prepare next like AD Utility(patching, adsplice,..), Cloning ... I'll update you tomorrow .

    Now you can raise your doubts/questions/issue in forum at http://teachmeoracle.com/forum (Dedicated to Apps DBA's)

    • At 7:01 PM, Blogger Atul Kumar said…

      Ramana,
      Thats good news . I think you have done pretty much for a start , Are you working some where on apps. You can start looking into apps patching & cloning now .

      May be upgrade in future .

    • At 7:02 PM, Blogger Atul Kumar said…

      By the way what do you means by... I would like to create users with access to different modules and so on..

      Authorization in apps is controlled by responsibilities.

      Atul

       
    • At 10:07 AM, Blogger Atul Kumar said…

      Thanks Ramana,
      I'll try to post on creating users & adding reponsibilities under oracle apps security section oin apps system administration section. I am still at Apps DBA sections & lot way to go like

      Discoverer
      SSL on apps in Web Server / Forms & database
      Parallel Concurrent Processing &
      Demystifying Autoconfig

       
    • At 2:22 PM, Blogger Atul Kumar said…

      Satya,
      Nice to hear from you. Yes oracle is coming with fusion & in next apps release i.e. Rel 12 , you will see Oc4J & 10g iAS

      It depends on what you want to learn , if you want to beconme developer then OA Framewrok may be good for start .
      If you want to move in Apps DBA soon I am going to cover on Fusion Middle ware , includign SOA ( Service Oriented architecture)

      Atul

       
    • At 11:31 PM, Anonymous Anonymous said…

      Hi Ramana,

      To create user you have to have system administrator resp and then go to security -->define
      ---
      This is the form now you can create user and add responsibility with them

      Hi Atul,

      I think Fusion is not same as Release 12. Fusion is a release planned after Release 12 which will combine Oracle's acquired products like JD Edwards and Siebel

      - Vikram

       
    • At 3:22 PM, Blogger Atul Kumar said…

      Yes Vikram you are right .

      Fusion Applications is release after Ver 12.

      For Fusion Middleware , which is collection of middleware like 10g AS, Collaboration Suite, SOA Suite , data hub.. its available .

      Atul

I'm basically oracle core dba expreinced. Thanks, once again to Guru Atul ji!

      Hi Atul,

      Thanks for all the work and information in this web site. I've just migrated an 11.5.9 instance from 9i non RAC to 10g RAC with two RAC DB nodes with concurrent processing tier and PCP enabled. I also added a third node containing the web and forms services. Now I need to add a fourth node containing the forms and web services to provide fault tolerance and load balancing for that tier.
      Is it possible without using a hardware load balancer ?

      Thanks,

      Sergio Chong

       
    • At 7:44 PM, Blogger Atul Kumar said…

      Sergio,
      You can use DNS server as your load balancer.

      Hi Atul,

      I am a budding DBA, am OCA 9i already and would be DBA within a fortnight. My problem is that I am self studied person, and thus have very little hands on experience. As the job market goes its a catch 22 with me, no job--> no experience and vice versa. How can I get some quality experience with 9i as well as upgrade to application 11 i DBA.

       
    • At 1:46 PM, Blogger Unknown said…

      Hi Atul,

      I am OCP(DBA) and have just done a course in Oracle Apps DBA.

      Thanks and regards,
      Aarif
