Is Oracle Fusion really ConFUSION ?

If you ask question “What is Oracle Fusion ?” to yourself I suppose every one will have different opinion. I would like to hear from you all in your words ( via comments on this post ) about what you think is Oracle Fusion .

Common confusion over Oracle Fusion
Most Common confusion over Fusion among most of guys I discuss/meet & also mentioned by Steven Chan in his post is thinking Oracle Fusion Middleware & Oracle Fusion Applications are same. In actual Oracle Fusion Middleware will be used in providing/building Oracle Fusion Applications using Existing Oracle Applications (Oracle E-Business Suite, Siebel, Peoplesoft, JD Eward).

Oracle Fusion Middleware is collection of Oracle Middleware products i.e.
–Oracle Application Server (Portal, Wireless, Forms, Reports, discoverer, Webcache, OC4J)
— Oracle Identity management (OID, SSO, Web Access Manager, CA, Identity Federation)
–Oracle SOA Suite (Service Oriented Suite)
–Oracle Collaboration Suite (RTC, Mail Server, Discussion, Content, Calendar)
–Oracle DW & BI (BI Beans, OWB, OLAP, Express Server, OSA, OFA, Datamart )
–Oracle development Tools (Designer, developer, SCM, forms, reports)
— Oracle Data hubs

and
Oracle Fusion Applications will be collection of Oracle Applications i.e.
–Oracle E-Business Suite / CRM
–Oracle Peoplesoft enterprise
–Oracle Siebel CRM
–Oracle JD Edward Enterprise

These fusion applications will use Fusion Middleware mentioned above

in other words:

Oracle Fusion is the sum of already existing app development tools, re-badged and re-bunched so they look like a new product.

Oracle Fusion Applications will be the current spread, re-developed using Fusion tools.

The keyword of course is “will”.

Or: nothing has changed. Therefore: no conFusion.
Pun intended.

It remains to be seen how well the j2ee-inspired development tools will cope with 8000 tables and 20000 indexes.

I’d love to see how long it would take the j2ee bean container to start up.

but roll-on the powerpoint!

@ Raj,
This is eBook with no plan for hard copy for another 3-4 months. This book contains screenshot of OID/OAM installation with integration of OID witf EBS and OAM 11g. This book also covers integration of OAM 11g with EBS R12 including webgate installation and EBS-AccessGate deployment.

In end one chapter covers FAQ and another with common issues.

There is formatting and minor addition (what happens behind the scenes) is pending (though who already bought this book will get updated copy as we update this free). based on reviews received so far from 1st September 2011 price will change to 14.99 and then 19.99 USD (from 18th Sep – this is when final copy will be released).

Hi Atul,

We only uses forms and reports services of OAS 10.1.2 currently, should we consider to upgrade to Fusion middleware 11g to be alinged with new version of Developer tools?

Best Regards,
