  Oracle University E-Business Suite Technology Course Catalog 
  1. R12 Oracle Applications System Administrator Fundamentals 
  In this course students learn concepts and functions that are critical 
to the System Administrator role in implementing and managing the Oracle
 E-Business Suite. Topics covered include configuring security and user 
management, configuring flexfields, managing concurrent processing, and 
setting up other essential features such as profile options and 
printing. In addition, configuration and maintenance of an Oracle 
E-Business Suite through Oracle Applications Manager is discussed. 
Students also learn the fundamentals of Oracle Workflow including its 
setup. The System Administrator Fundamentals course provides the 
foundation needed to effectively control security and ensure smooth 
operations for an E-Business Suite installation. Demonstrations and 
hands-on practice reinforce the fundamental concepts of configuring an 
Oracle E-Business Suite, as well as handling day-to-day system 
administrator tasks. 
    
  2. R12.x Install/Patch/Maintain Oracle E-Business Suite 
  This course will be applicable for customers who have implemented 
Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 or Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1. This
 course explains how to go about installing and maintaining an Oracle 
E-Business Suite Release 12.x system. Both Standard and Express 
installation types are covered in detail. Maintenance topics include a 
detailed examination of the standard tools and utilities, and an 
in-depth look at patching an Oracle E-Business Suite system. After this 
course, students will be able to make informed decisions about how to 
install an Oracle E-Business Suite system that meets their specific 
requirements, and how to maintain the system afterwards. The extensive 
hands-on practices include performing an installation on a Linux system,
 navigating the file system to locate key files, running the standard 
maintenance tools and utilities, applying patches, and carrying out 
cloning operations. 
    
  3. R12.x Extend Oracle Applications: Building OA Framework Applications 
  This class is a hands-on lab-intensive course that will keep the 
student busy and active for the duration of the course. While the course
 covers the fundamentals that support OA Framework-based applications, 
the course is really an exercise in J2EE programming. Over the duration 
of the course, the student will create an OA Framework-based application
 that selects, inserts, updates, and deletes data from a R12 Oracle 
Applications instance. 
    
  4. R12.x Extend Oracle Applications: Customizing OA Framework Applications  
  This course has been significantly changed from the prior version to 
include additional deployments. The course doesn't teach the specifics 
of configuration of each product. That is left to the product-specific 
courses. What the course does cover is the general methods of building, 
personalizing, and extending OA Framework-based pages within the 
E-Business Suite. Additionally, the course covers the methods to deploy 
those types of customizations. The course doesn't include discussion of 
the Oracle Forms-based pages within the E-Business Suite. 
    
  5. R12.x Extend Oracle Applications: OA Framework Personalizations  
  Personalization is the ability within an E-Business Suite instance to 
make changes to the look and behavior of OA Framework-based pages 
without programming. And, personalizations are likely to survive patches
 and upgrades, increasing their utility. This course will systematically
 walk you through the myriad of personalization options, starting with 
simple examples and increasing in complexity from there. 
    
  6. E-Business Suite: BI Publisher 5.6.3 for Developers 
  Starting with the basic concepts, architecture, and underlying 
standards of Oracle XML Publisher, this course will lead a student 
through a progress of exercises building their expertise. By the end of 
the course, the student should be able to create Oracle XML Publisher 
RTF templates and data templates. They should also be able to deploy and
 maintain a BI Publisher report in an E-Business Suite instance. 
Students will also be introduced to Oracle BI Publisher Enterprise. 
    
  7. R12.x Implement Oracle Workflow 
  This course provides an overview of the architecture and features of 
Oracle Workflow and the benefits of using Oracle Workflow in an 
e-business environment. You can learn how to design workflow processes 
to automate and streamline business processes, and how to define event 
subscriptions to perform processing triggered by business events. 
Students also learn how to respond to workflow notifications, how to 
administer and monitor workflow processes, and what setup steps are 
required for Oracle Workflow. Demonstrations and hands-on practice 
reinforce the fundamental concepts. 
    
  8. R12.x Oracle E-Business Suite Essentials for Implementers 
  Oracle R12.1 E-Business Essentials for Implementers is a course that 
provides a functional foundation for any E-Business Suite Fundamentals 
course.
