Oracle R 12 – E- Business Essentials
It provides functional foundation to any E-BS fundamental course.It covers major components of R 12 E-BS architecture and SWAN user interface.E-BS is fully integrated, comprehensive suite of business applications for the enterprise.Major topics are shared entities, integration, Flex-field, Multi org. access control, workflow, alerts, sys. Admn. And Business Intelligence.

Accessing and navigating using SWAN user interface. SWAN is a sub-class of Browser Look And Feel (BLAF).Form based apps are optimized for a large volume of transactions AND HTML based apps are optimized for ease of first time use.Oracle apps FORM is a user’s interface to business data stored in the database. We navigate between and within forms to enter and access information from the database.

System Administration contd..Function Security:Defines applicationsDefines data groupsCreates responsibilities and usersSystem administrator manages security by creating user sign-on and assigning them to one or more responsibilities.Defining an application:
Appl name
Appl short name
Appl base path
Appl description
24
Oracle R 12 – E- Business Essentials
System Administration contd..Data group:It is a collection of pairing of an application with an Oracle ID.It automatically supports concurrent processing and cross application reporting.An application can be listed only once in a data group.An Oracle ID can be paired with more than one applications.AOL owns database tables.We can control relationship among application, forms and programs by defining a data group.
25

System Administration contd..Data Security:Components:Object: It is a system entity subject to access control. It usually corresponds to a table.Object Instance: It represents all rows in the database table.Object instance set: Related set of instances of an object. Set of rows.
27

System Administration contd..Data Security privileges: Grants and Permissions:It gives additional access control on the data and the action that can be performed on data.Grantee can be a group of users, specific user or all users.Permission is an approval to perform operation on an object.Permissions or grants are access granted to users through roles.

Flex-Field (FF)It is a configurable field that opens in a window from a regular Oracle Appl window.It enables us to tailor Oracle Appl to our own business environment.It structures certain identifier (key FF)It collects and displays additional information (Descriptive FF)

Misc. topics:Allow dynamic insertion: we can enter new code combinationCross validation rules: Prevent combinations of segment values that are illogical or that should not be allowed.Value set security: specify who should use particular segment values. Define the rules and associate it with appropriate responsibility.Shorthand aliases: enable user to enter data faster and more easily. It is a label for a particular combination of key FF segment values.

Oracle R 12 – E- Business EssentialsMulti Org. Access Control (MOAC)
It is a server based (application / database) enhancement of Oracle Application, while keeping transaction data separate and secure.User access to multiple OU is called MOAC.MOAC allows companies to gain processing efficiencies because user can more easily access, process and report on data across multiple OU from a single responsibility without affecting corresponding data security or system performance.

Business event system:Workflow supports e-Business integration workflows through the Business Event System (subscription based processing).
Event subscription is a registration indicating that an even is significant to a system. It can be defined in Event Manager.
53
Oracle R 12 – E- Business EssentialsFundamentals of workflow and alerts
Alerts:Alerts monitor our database information and notify us when the condition that we have specified is found.To find out important or unusual activity in our database.
An exception is a specified condition found during an alert check.
Event Alert •Notifies as soon as event occurs
Periodic Alert •Checks database as per defined schedule

Difference between workflow and alert:
Alert•Run on insert, update or concurrent request•Limited conditional logic•Limited predefined frequencies
Workflow•Run on potentially any action, concurrent request•Any conditional logic•Almost any frequency
