Preface
This document is designed to provide a comprehensive introduction to learn the Oracle 11i E-Business Suite. I have written this document to be primarily focused on that populace who are interested to learn Oracle 11i Apps DBA, which is taught as a preliminary oracle database course in same field. This document contains many exercises, which are divided between reinforcement exercises and learning. The topics covered in this document are taken from an Oracle Metalink, strongly I refer to basic oracle recommended books.
This document comes accompanied by an extensive Web site: http://oraclezones.com This Web site includes an extensive collection of educational aids that augment the topics of this document. Specifically for interesting populace I include: Presentation handouts for most topics in this book A database of hints on selected assignments Interactive applets that animate fundamental Oracle Apps DBA I feel that the hint Oracle 11i E-Business Suite should be of particular interest, particularly for creativity problems that can be quite challenging for some students.

3 - Patch
Patch is one of Jobs Apps DBA perform very frequently, so you should be clear with patch basics first including terminology. As for Database patch you apply using opatch, similarly for Apps patch you will use adpatch. Utility & executables related to patching fall under product AD also called as application dba product. I will walk you through oracle apps 11i patching with series of questions which will help you in understand oracle apps 11i patching. What is patch? Patch is program (set of instructions) to fix a particular problem or enhance/ add a particular feature in existing program/product/software.
Patch Types There are several types of patches that you may be asked to apply to your Oracle Applications system. They are described in the following table.
Patch Type Bug fix New feature Interoperability
Description Fixes an existing issue. Adds new functionality. Contains Oracle Applications files and database objects to make the current version of Oracle Applications compatible with a newer version of the database or a technology stack component. For example, to enable an Oracle 10g database to work with Oracle Applications Release 11.5.10. Released specifically to determine the source of an issue. A diagnostic patch does not contain fixes. Contains Oracle Applications files that have been translated from English to another language. A translation patch may also execute tasks to load or update data in the database. Fixes a problem with, or improves the performance of, from a previous major release, such as 10.7 or 11.0.
Diagnostic
Translation
Upgrade
Author: Muhammad Waseem Chaudhry Site: http://oraclezones.com Patch Formats Patches are released in the following formats. If a patch format is described as cumulative, that patch contains a consolidation of updates from the inception of Release 11i, up to, and including, the latest release level. Patches Stand-alone High-priority Description A patch that fixes a specific issue or provides new functionality. A patch identified by Oracle Development as having an impact that is broad enough to merit application by all customers who have installed the affected product. A consolidation of all patches for a product. The naming convention is 11i.<product>.<minipack letter> such as 11i.AD.I. Minipacks with a higher <minipack letter>) supersede previous versions. They are cumulative. A consolidation of a set of minipacks and other patches for a product family. Family packs with a higher number supersede previous versions. They are cumulative.
Minipack
Family pack
Consolidated Update An update containing generally recommended patches and additional targeted patches combined into a single patch. Applying a consolidated update brings a release to the latest recommended patch level. Family consolidated All upgrade-related, high-priority patches consolidated from all the upgrade patch products within a product family. Family consolidated upgrade patches are released as needed. The Oracle Applications Release Notes lists the most recent family consolidated upgrade patches. Maintenance pack A consolidation of all minipacks for all products. A maintenance pack updates a system to a new point release of Oracle Applications, such as Release 11.5.10. Maintenance packs with a higher number supersede previous versions. They are cumulative.
Author: Muhammad Waseem Chaudhry Site: http://oraclezones.com Please follow to the below steps for apply patch into 11i application
A) B) C) D) E) F) G) H) I) J)
Login Application User Stop Application Services Set Application Environment Enable Maintenance Mode Cold Backup Patch Adpatch Disable Maintenance mode Startup Applications Services Verification
Author: Muhammad Waseem Chaudhry Site: http://oraclezones.com A) Login Application User You must have to login by application owner user for apply patch into E-Business Suite B) Stop Application Services Before apply patch you need to stop the application services, for stop the application services, please go to $COMMON_TOP/admin/scripts/, in my case # cd /d01/oracle/orclznscomn/admin/scripts/orclzns_learnozs #./adstpall.sh apps/apps
C) Set Application Environment Before apply patch you must have to set applications environment file, otherwise you can not apply patch successfully, for set environment file please go to cd $APPL_TOP, in my scenario # cd /d01/oracle/orclznsappl/ # . ./APPSORA.env Make sure space between two commas
Author: Muhammad Waseem Chaudhry Site: http://oraclezones.com D) Enable Maintenance Mode Maintenance Mode is a new mode of operation introduced with Release 11.5.10, in which the Oracle Applications system is made accessible only for patching activities not allowing the users to login to any responsibility. This provides optimal performance for AutoPatch sessions, and minimizes downtime needed # adadmin
Author: Muhammad Waseem Chaudhry Site: http://oraclezones.com By default SYSTEM password is manager and APPS password is apps
Author: Muhammad Waseem Chaudhry Site: http://oraclezones.com Please choice option 5 then option 1 for change Enable Maintenance Mode.
Author: Muhammad Waseem Chaudhry Site: http://oraclezones.com Press 3 then press 6 for exit from adadmin utility.
Author: Muhammad Waseem Chaudhry Site: http://oraclezones.com E) Cold Backup Make sure you have always cold backup of database and application before apply patch. A cold backup requires the database to be shut down. That means, as opposed to a hot backup, users cannot do anything on the database. Shutdown immediate the database (not a shutdown abort), then copy all necessary files to a safe place.
F) Patch I am going to apply application patch 3636316, please read carefully README FILE of patch and follow to instruction for apply patch into application by adpatch utility. Make directory and copy patch into ORACLEZONES directory for unzip. # mkdir ORACLEZONES Unzip patch into ORACLEZONES directory # unzip p3636316_11i_GENERIC.zip
Author: Muhammad Waseem Chaudhry Site: http://oraclezones.com After unzip, automatically created one directory by name of patch Go to that directory by cd 3636316 # cd 3636316
Author: Muhammad Waseem Chaudhry Site: http://oraclezones.com G) Adpatch Here are the various options for applying the patch in Oracle apps 11i and R12. ADpatch comes with lots of option that can be used, especially when we are applying the patch in Production. Run adpatch under patch directory for apply patch by below command. # adpatch
Author: Muhammad Waseem Chaudhry Site: http://oraclezones.com By default SYSTEM password is manager and APPS password if apps
After write u3636316.drv, just press enter because unified patch will handle itself
Successfully patch has been applied into application server, please ignore to errors and warnings line because adpatch overwrite to adpatch.log file
Author: Muhammad Waseem Chaudhry Site: http://oraclezones.com H) Disable Maintenance mode After applied patch, you must have to Disable Maintenance mode from Enable Maintenance mode by help of adadmin utility
I)
Startup Applications Services
Please go to $COMMON_TOP/scripts direcotry for up the application server, in my case cd /d01/oracle/orclznscomn/admin/scripts/orclzns_learnozs/ ./adstrtal.sh apps/apps

Select Applied Patches option on OAM patch and press go button, search patch by patch number or by date.
Successfully patch has been applied into 11i E-Business
Best of Luck !
4 - Backup
In order to facilitate troubleshooting we maintain a test environment which is a nightly copy of our 11i production environment. Since this environment is usually used to learn/test data fixes it has to be as up to date as possible. To perform the database refresh we use rman's duplicate feature. The goal of this article isn't just to provide the entire set of scripts and send you on your way. I think its safe to say that most EBS environments aren't identical, so its not like you could take them and execute with no issues. Instead Ill highlight the steps we follow and some of the key scripts.
A) B) C) D) E)
Login Database User Set Database Environment Archive Mode Recovery Manager (RMAN) RMAN Sitting
Author: Muhammad Waseem Chaudhry Site: http://oraclezones.com A) Login Database User You must have to login by database owner user for backup of database.
B) Set Database Environment Before start backup, you must have to set databases environment file, otherwise you cannot run any database commands, for set the databases environment file please go to cd $ORACLE_HOME/, in my scenario # cd /d01/oracle/orclznsdb/9.2.0 #. ./orclzns_learnozs.env Make sure space between two commas
Author: Muhammad Waseem Chaudhry Site: http://oraclezones.com C) Archive Mode To check, database is in which archivelog mode, if database is in archive mode so we will move to next steps, if database is not in archive mode so we must have to enable archive mode. SQL> select log_mode from v$database;
SQL> shutdown immediate;
Author: Muhammad Waseem Chaudhry Site: http://oraclezones.com SQL> startup mount
SQL> alter database archivelog;
SQL> ARCHIVE LOG START;
SQL> alter database open;
Author: Muhammad Waseem Chaudhry Site: http://oraclezones.com SQL> ARCHIVE LOG LIST;
SQL> EXIT;
D) Recovery Manager Overview of RMAN The RMAN environment consists of the utilities and databases that play a role in backing up your data. At a minimum, the environment for RMAN must include the following:

The target database to be backed up The RMAN client, which interprets backup and recovery commands, directs server sessions to execute those commands, and records your backup and recovery activity in the target database control file.
Author: Muhammad Waseem Chaudhry Site: http://oraclezones.com E) RMAN Setting To learn about RMANs setting so please go to RMAN Menu in this website, there you will be learn about RMAN catalog step by step regarding Back and Recovery.
To check the RMAN setting execute below command in RMAN; RMAN> show all;
Author: Muhammad Waseem Chaudhry Site: http://oraclezones.com RMAN> CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT ='/d01/ORACLEZONES_BACKUP/%d_%s_%t';
Author: Muhammad Waseem Chaudhry Site: http://oraclezones.com Take full database backup RMAN> BACKUP DATABASE;
Successfully databases backup has been taken Best of Luck .!
5 - Recovery
For learning point of view I have shutdown database and deleted all data files from original path, and learn how we can restore all data files from backup with help of RMAN. If you want more learning about Backup and Recovery so please go to RMAN Menu in this website. A) Login Database User B) Set Database Environment C) Recover Manager (RMAN) D) Recover Database
Author: Muhammad Waseem Chaudhry Site: http://oraclezones.com A) Login Database User You must have to login by database owner user for backup of database.
B) Set Database Environment Before start backup, you must have to set databases environment file, otherwise you cannot run any database commands, for set the databases environment file please go to cd $ORACLE_HOME/, in my scenario # cd /d01/oracle/orclznsdb/9.2.0 #. ./orclzns_learnozs.env Make sure space between two commas
Author: Muhammad Waseem Chaudhry Site: http://oraclezones.com C) Recovery Manager
Overview of RMAN The RMAN environment consists of the utilities and databases that play a role in backing up your data. At a minimum, the environment for RMAN must include the following: The target database to be backed up The RMAN client, which interprets backup and recovery commands, directs server sessions to execute those commands, and records your backup and recovery activity in the target database control file.
Connect RMAN for restore all data files
Author: Muhammad Waseem Chaudhry Site: http://oraclezones.com D) Recover Database In this scenario, you have a current control file and SPFILE but all datafiles are damaged or lost. You must restore and recover the whole database. A subset of the database can be restored in a similar below fashion: RMAN> restore database;
After restore the database, now we have recovered the database RMAN> recover database;
Successfully database has been recovered by RMAN. Bust of Luck !
6 - What is ADI?
Oracle ADI (Application Desktop Integration) is a spreadsheet-based extension to Oracle Applications that offers full cycle accounting and asset management within the comfort and familiarity of a spreadsheet. Oracle ADI combines a spreadsheets ease of use with the power of Oracle Applications, to provide true desktop integration during every phase of your accounting cycle. You can create budgets, record transactions, add assets, reconcile inventory, and run financial statements and inventory reports all without leaving your spreadsheet. You can run Oracle ADI as a stand-alone application, without installing the full client version of Oracle General Ledger (GL) or Oracle Assets on your PC. This gives you the ability to confirm and reconcile inventory, revise budgets, create journal entries, and define financial and asset reports from any location, without being connected to your server. You only need to connect when you want to transfer data to or from Oracle Applications. Figure describes how ADI integrates with other applications.

B) Reboot Press OK for rebooting your computer
Author: Muhammad Waseem Chaudhry Site: http://oraclezones.com C) Modify TNSNAMES.ORA files This should be created as part of the ADI install. Check that it has been saved in 2 directories: C:/<ora_home>/network/admin C:/<ora_home>/net80/admin Your TNSNAMES files that have been loaded as part of the install might look something like this: Oraclezones= (DESCRIPTION= (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=<server_name>)(PORT=1519)) (CONNECT_DATA=(SID=Oraclezones)) ) FNDFS_Oraclezones_<192.168.1.46>= (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp) (HOST=192.168.1.46 PORT=1626)) (CONNECT_DATA=(SID=FNDFS)) ) Notes: a.) the port numbers will vary and will almost certainly different from the examples above, b.) the FNDFS_ entry is required for viewing output in the ADI Request Centre. If you cannot view the output of your concurrent requests in the ADI Request Centr, be sure to check the FNDFS_ entry in the TNSNAMES.ORA files. c.) If there are multiple oracle application instance on server , you must use "RRA: Service Prefix" profile option to add a prefix to the FNDFS entry FNDFS entry then looks like : <profile_option>FNDFS_Oraclezones_<server_name>= ...
Author: Muhammad Waseem Chaudhry Site: http://oraclezones.com D) Add Database Entry
Note that the Connect string must match the SID= in TNSNAMES.ORA (not the FNDFS entry, but the other one; in the example this would be Oraclezones).
Author: Muhammad Waseem Chaudhry Site: http://oraclezones.com Add your database entry in ADI Name: TEST Server Database Description: TEST Server (whatever you choose) GWYUID applsyspub/pub FNDNAM apps Connect string orclzns2 Server ID: please follow below steps for server ID
Server ID: please follow below steps for server ID
Successfully ADI installed and connected to Production Server
Best of Luck!
7 - Reports Intregiration
Report Manager Architecture
Report Manager has other key components like:

FSG Template Editor Repository Management Security Workbench : For both Flex field value as well as user to value security o Flex field Value Security o Users to Value Security
What can you see from above diagram is reports are published to a file system on the middle tier. Therefore you can choose to make your report available from the personal home page at the same time as you publish the report, or alternatively you can create a form function at a later stage to make the report accessible to users. You can also apply some control if required when publishing reports by:

9 - Menu, Responsibilities and User

This allows you to segregate your custom written files from the standard seeded functionality that Oracle Applications provide. Customizations can therefore be preserved when applying patches, upgrades or implementation to your environment.
A) B) C) D)
Create Menu Create Responsibility Create User Add Responsibility
Author: Muhammad Waseem Chaudhry Site: http://oraclezones.com A) Create Menu This will act as a placeholder for any custom menu items we wish to make available for the Custom Responsibility. I will create one menu for custom responsibility, Navigate to Application-->Menu
Author: Muhammad Waseem Chaudhry Site: http://oraclezones.com Fill All below flex fields Menu = Menu Name (ORACLE_ZONES)
User Menu Name = ORACLE ZONES Menu Type = STANDARD
Description = ORACLE ZONES General Ledger Seq Prompt Submenu =1 = View Requests = select specific seeded submenu (if you wants)
Function = View All Concurrent Requests Description = View Requests
Author: Muhammad Waseem Chaudhry Site: http://oraclezones.com Save the custom menu
Author: Muhammad Waseem Chaudhry Site: http://oraclezones.com B) Create Responsibility Responsibilities control what applications the user can access and - once in - what they can do within the application. They control what screens the user sees, what choices they may make from those screens, what reports they can run, and, at the lowest level. Users may have multiple responsibilities to access the various applications such as General Ledger, Budget Tool or Data Warehouse. Responsibilities can be classified into two broad classes:
Transactional responsibilities, which allow you to create transactions (pay invoices, enter journals, budget funds) in the central Oracle financial OLTP (On-Line, Transactional Processing) system using modules like General Ledger or the Budget Tool, or through self-service web applications like Web Voucher, Web Reimbursement, and PCard. Reporting responsibilities allow you to report on the transactional data that is copied nightly from the OLTP system to the Harvard Data Warehouse (HDW) using HUDINI, AWS2, FINSTAR or Ad Hoc Reporting.
Navigate to Security-->Responsibility-->Define
Author: Muhammad Waseem Chaudhry Site: http://oraclezones.com Fill all below flex fields Responsibility Name Application Responsibility Key Description Available From Data Group Name = ORACLE_ZONES
= General Ledger = ORACLE ZONES = ORALCE ZONES = Oracle Applications = Standard
Data Group Application = General Ledger Menu = ORACLE ZONES = GL Concurrent Program Group
Request Group Name
Author: Muhammad Waseem Chaudhry Site: http://oraclezones.com C) Create User User is created in oracle applications in order to control the access to the data. Users are assigned a set of responsibilities through which they can retrieve or modify certain set of data. Responsibility is a grouping of access in a logical manner. Accounts payable responsibility would contain all the privileges to create invoices, make payments etc. All the users from the payables department would be given this responsibility. You can create users, through system administrator responsibility in oracle applications.

10 - FNDCPASS
FNDCPASS is an EBS tool to change passwords of database schemas within the Oracle EBS. For example, you can change the APPS password using FNDCPASS. FNDCPASS can also be used to change the password of an application user (like sysadmin, GL etc). FNDCPASS changes

Oracle Applications Database System Users (APPS, APPLSYS) Oracle Applications Product Schema Passwords (GL, AR, AP, etc,) Oracle Applications End User Account Passwords (SYSADMIN, OPERATIONS etc)
Note: the utility, FNDCPASS, cannot be used for changing the database SYSTEM and SYS users. Only users that are registered in FND Meta data tables need to be changed using FNDCPASS. Normally, the APPS database user password and APPLSYS password need to be the same. When changing the APPLSYS password using FNDCPASS, the APPS password is also changed. Example: $ FNDCPASS apps/apps 0 Y system/manager SYSTEM APPLSYS ORACLEZONES $ FNDCPASS apps/apps 0 Y system/manager ORACLE GL ORACLEZONES $ FNDCPASS apps/apps 0 Y system/manager DISCO ORACLEZONES
