14. Oracle Applications R12.x Architecture

15. Understanding the Oracle Applications R12.x Architecture The following topics are included in the Oracle Applications R12.x architecture: • Business architecture • Technical architecture

16. Business Architecture: Oracle Applications R12.x • R12.x EBS (ERP, CRM, SCM, SEM • R12.x EBS has 5 principles that drive its business architecture: • Modern foundation • standards include using Java/J2EE, HTML, JavaScript (JSP), Internet-accessibility, and centralized management • Complete (100+ different sub-modules) • End-to-end integration • integration is engineered into the product, thereby providing a fully NATIVE integrated package—one that is not realized through system integrations and customizations. • Global • multiple languages and currencies; supports international features, such as flexible date formats and multiple radix support; supports data in the Unicode Character Set (gmail UTF-8); and has accounting and business localizations built into it. • Rapid implementation and maintenance • rapid installation tool, patch application tools, and a host of configuration files and customizable Help files to allow the customer to configure the system to meet their needs

17. Technical Architecture: Oracle Applications R12.x R12.x has developed four architectural modes for users that are accessed and controlled through the Personal Home Page (PHP) or Portal. The architectural modes equate to common classes of users. The following topics are included in the technical architecture of Oracle Applications R12.x: • Forms based users (robust users) • Self-service (HTML/JSPs) (infrequent users) • Business Intelligence users (senior executives) • Mobile users

18. Desktop/Client Tier Application Tier Database Tier Internet User Interface Application Logic Application Data & Database Logic Basic Technical Architecture of Oracle Applications R12.x The connection between the application tier and desktop tier can operate successfully over a wide area network (WAN), because the desktop and application tiers exchange a minimum amount of information

19. Desktop/Client Tier Database Tier Desktop/Client Tier The following topics are included in the technical architecture of Oracle Applications R12.x: • Forms based users (robust users) • Self-service (HTML/JSPs) (infrequent users) • Business Intelligence users (senior executives) • Mobile users Application Tier Internet

20. Web server/Listener Desktop/Client Tier Database Tier Portal (PHP) Forms server Concurrent Processing server Internet Servlet Engine JavaServer Pages (JSP) Discoverer server Reports server Administration server Applications Tier

22. The Network • Although the network is not a tier of R12.x E-Business Suite’s three-tier architecture, it is a critical component that makes it all work. • R12.x EBS allows access through multiple channels including internal networks (LANs/WANs) and external networks (Internet/VPNs). • All the choices in the network, good or bad, will ultimately affect your performance.

23. CRM Financials HRMS Manufacturing ... Oracle Applications Technology Layer Oracle Applications Technology Layer The Oracle Applications technology layer is an integrated collection of components used by all Oracle Applications modules, whose functionality is applicable to all Oracle Applications modules: The various components of the Applications technologylayer are discussed in the following slides. • Applications DBA (AD) • Application Object Library (FND) • Applications Utilities (AU) • Common Modules (AK) • Workflow (WF) • Alert (ALR) • OA Framework (FWK) • Oracle XML Publisher (XDO)

26. Oracle Applications Manager (OAM) Oracle Applications Manager is a key system administration tool, an HTML based central control console: • Configure and administer your system • Diagnose and correct problems • Manage patches • Monitor and tune performance • Monitor system security

27. Service-Oriented Architecture Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is: • An architectural style for integrating loosely coupled interacting software services • A set of components (services) that can be invoked • Enabled through a set of standards Service consumer Service provider Service request Service response

28. Oracle E Business Suite Integrated SOA Gateway • Provide robust, consistent integration framework with extensive infrastructure based on SOA principles. • Integrate loosely coupled and heterogeneous applications. • Contain prebuilt and reusable business services. • Provide native service enablement capability within Oracle E-Business Suite. • Use native services as building blocks to create composite services. • Enforce function security and role-based access control security to allow only authorized users to execute administrative functions. • Enable Web service invocation from Oracle E-Business Suite.

29. Quiz You can implement only a minimum of five R12 E-Business Suite modules for an enterprise. • True • False

30. Quiz The connection between the application tier and the desktop tier can operate successfully over a wide area network (WAN). • True • False

31. Quiz In E-Business Suite Architecture, the tier which is responsible for holding the application logic and supports and manages the various Applications components is: • Desktop tier • Client tier • Application tier • Database tier

32. Quiz Which of the following tasks does Oracle Applications Manager helps in managing and monitoring? • Configure and administer your system. • Diagnose and correct problems. • Monitor and tune performance. • Assign responsibilities to user. • Monitor system security.

33. Summary In this lesson, you should have learned to describe: • The basic architecture of Oracle Applications • The major components of the architecture • The Oracle Applications file system • The Product subdirectory structure and their roles • Oracle E-Business Suite Integrated SOA Gateway
