I am taking an Oracle Edu class this week – D49493GC10 (or D52216) which is the intro to EBS R12 version. The class material looks very itneresting. The assumption is that you have EBS and are trying to use the features and functions of the class.
The course starts relatively basic with tips and tricks for navigating the forms interfaces. This is very helpful for someone who is doing this for the first time. It shows you different ways of doing things like searching, personalizing, and customizing the forms interface. Once you get through the basics of the user interface, the class dives into the different components of EBS and how it is installed and configured. The next chapter is discussing shared data and integration. This is a good introduction chapter. The next chapter is fundamentals of system admin. This is an abreviated chapter that summarizes the five day class. It is more of an introduction chapter and not a detailed chapter on administration.
Overall this has been a good class. It is an introductory class but it does give you a good feel for what it takes to navigate and manage some of the features in EBS. I can see where someone would want to take this class if they were getting into consulting or deploying EBS for the first time. It seems to me that the admin class or the installation class is more in line with someone starting. The workflow class is probably what someone wants to take if they have an existing installation, understand basic administration, and want to enhance an existing deployment.
more tomorrow on the admin issues…..
