[Post Updated on March 03, 2017 for latest version of Oracle E-Business Suite i.e. R12.2.6]

This post covers first and most important topic to Learn to become Oracle Apps DBA i.e. Architecture of Oracle E-Business Suite R12.2.

Oracle_ebs_r12.2_architecture
Are you looking for FREE Oracle Apps DBA Training ?

Are you a DBA and wish to Learn/Become Oracle Apps DBA ?

Are a Fresher or new to Oracle Apps and interested in Learning Oracle Apps as Apps DBA ?

 

 

There is lot of Oracle Apps Training material available on internet/Oracle Site and at the same time lot of Training Institutes providing Oracle Apps DBA Training.

It is up to you if you want to learn E-Business Suite at your own or want a formal Training as Oracle Apps DBA (You can learn on your own but Training can shorten your Learning Time).

This and following posts will cover Everything you should learn as an Oracle Apps DBA.

To become Oracle Apps DBA first and important thing is that you should be very well familiar with Oracle Applications/E-Business Suite Architecture . Give as much time as possible to Architecture & understand all basic component like Client Tier (HTML/Jinitiator), Fusion Middleware (Web Server & WebLogic Server), Forms , Concurrent Manager, and Database.

Now where to find Basic Architecture of Oracle E-Business 11i ? EBS Documentation contain documentation link of all Oracle E-Business Suite versions i.e. R12.2, R12.1/0, and 11i.

Open Guide Oracle Applications Concept & read chapter 1 only, covering Client (Desktop) Tier, Application Tier, and Database Tier.

Application Tier contains Fusion Middleware Components i.e. Web Server / WebLogic Server, Form Server, Concurrent Manager Tier (more about these in my upcoming posts).

Here are key points related to Architecture in E-Business Suite R12.2

1. There are two type of Applications in E-Business Suite i.e.
a) HTML-based accessed using Web Browser
b) Form-based accessed using Java Applet (runs as JVM inside Web Browser) and need JRE enabled Browser

2. Three are three ORACLE_HOME in total (2 on Application Tier and 1 on Database Tier)
a) Fusion Middleware Oracle Home supports WebLogic and supersedes 10.1.3 in previous R12 and 9iAS in 11i
b) OracleAS 10.1.2 Oracle Home containing Form App & frmweb executable that was present in previous R12 version too
c) Database Oracle Home 12c or 11g , depending on which StartCD you use to install R12.2 (more on R12.2 Installation & StartCD later)

Hi Atul,
It is really nice to have your email so quick. I book marked the link for future reference. As a DBA, I have setup 9i, 10g databases from scratch and applied patches,performed backups and installed 10g Apps server and configured report servers. I have gone through Oracle Financial 10.7sc intensive training in India, will it help me in becoming Apps DBA? I am a really good developer as well and got certification for developer 6i Release 2. Now, looking to my exposure, will you please tell me what step should I follow to start ii1 Apps DBA? Do you think that classroom training is required for Apps DBA?

Thanks for feedback, yes I agree majority of posts are on overview and reason for that is most of guys I met are not clear of concepts even so I thought of dicsussing them first though I have some posted on few things in detail as well . Do let me know on which topic you want me to cover in detail and I’ll try to cover them

Hi Atul

I have been following your site for past couple of months. Its very informative but one suggestion I have is that for people who don’t have access to metalink and oracle support, could you not create a FAQ of sorts where you can put in the frequent problems which have been encountered by you and the solutions for those problems.
Your site is nice but there’s too much theory in it…Or maybe thats why you have those webinars/Online Training on the site….

Atul Kumar says April 6, 2009

Good Question (how to become apps dba)

My tips

1. Go through Oracle Apps Architecture Guide
2. Go through Oracle apps Installation Guide
3. Install Oracle Apps
4. Go through file system (physically on server) and from Oracle Apps concepts guide
5. Learn Start/Stop of apps
6. Go through ad utilitites guide
7. Apply apps patch using adpatch
8. Check ad controller adctrl to see worker status
9. Clone apps instance using metalink notes
10. Finally try backup

This should cover most of day to day task for apps dba’s

For next level learn Advanced deployment like
1. Mulitple Middle tier configuration
2. Setting load balancer and DMZ
3. Integrating apps with OID/SSO
4. Upgrade from 11i to R12
5. Confihuring SSL
6. Upgrading tech stack in apps
7. Upgrading database with apps
8. Configuring RAC with apps database

For documentation check http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/applications.html

Atul Kumar says April 20, 2009

– what exactly the six different servers contains.
Database Server, Web Server, Forms Server, Concurrent Manager Server, Admin Server, Discoverer Server (This is for 11i)

– is it same as our database server.
Database Server for apps is same as standard database server with some additional things like Autoconfig under apputil directory in Oracle Home. Forms & web server are based on Oracle Application Server

– what is the archietecture of these six servers.
Check Oracle Apps Architecture Guide

– where the actual html forms/ frx files/ report files are stored etc…
On application tier under APPL_TOP under their own product directories (check file system under Architetcure Guide)

Fir decide which Firewall you are going to use (hardare or software) then use appropriate firewall document to block/allow port.

If your application tier is on Linux you can use pre installed software firewall “iptables”

@Abdul

Yes as explained by Atul you can become Apps DBA but i suggest you first learn some DBA concepts like architecture atleast so that you will understand the flow about the Middle Tier & Database communication .

I suggest you to learn Oracle Apps from “http://k21academy.com” because you will not only gain knowledge but also Atul and his team will support you in future for any issues/guidance etc.

    Atul Kumar says March 26, 2017

    @Deepika, 12.2 is latest so pick this please . About difficulty, things are difficult only till you don’t understand it . If this is easy everyone will do that so why would you something that everyone else will be able to do , then there will be no demand .

    Go for Apps DBA and good career . check http://k21academy.com/oracle-apps-dba/
