This is a companion piece to my second guest post on the ORACLENERD blog about installing Oracle E-Business Suite. I’ll try to address questions and errata from that post here, rather than repeatedly asking Chet to tweak his blog just because I was unclear or incorrect.

This is a companion piece to my first guest post on the ORACLENERD blog about installing Oracle E-Business Suite. I’ll try to address questions and errata from that post here, rather than repeatedly asking Chet to tweak his blog just because I was unclear or incorrect.
Why Release 12.1.1, and why Linux? Why [...]
A quick walkthrough of a problem I encountered with the ASO_ORDER_FEEDBACK_T table growing out of control.
It seemed simple enough. We were moving our E-Business Suite database to a new server. References to the old database server had to be replaced in a variety of places: Oracle Internet Directory, a handful of tnsnames.ora files, and of course, the context files on the application tier servers. After that, everyone could connect to the database just as they always had. No problems, right?

I recently ran across an interesting situation while I was working on an E-Business Suite environment: the adstrtal.sh and adstpall.sh scripts weren’t doing anything. They weren’t showing errors, but neither were they starting or stopping services. This post takes a look at the problem, unearths the cause, and presents a solution that isn’t always palatable, but in this case is warranted.
Here are my impressions of two Oracle certification exams I’ve had the opportunity to take in the past few months: 1Z0-040 (Oracle Database 10g: New Features for Administrators), and the beta version of 1Z0-238 (Oracle EBS R12: Install, Patch and Maintain Applications)
This is the second half of a two-part series on useful Linux/Unix environment variables and aliases for enhancing your productivity as an Apps DBA.
Typing is my third-most frequent cause of self-inflicted work stress. For some reason, despite decades spent at a keyboard, it feels like I spend more time hitting backspace than any other key. When working with Oracle Apps, I try to make my life easier by adding some shortcuts to the the applmgr user’s [...]
