Migrating custom extensions to different instances of Oracle

Subject: Migrating custom extensions to different instances of Oracle

Is there any third party tool for migrating custom reports , registrations from one instance to another . Instead of registering them again and again in each instance. I heard Chain Link Technologies had such a tool to migrate set-ups and custom registrations from one instance to another.

Venky,

We use Chain Link to migrate information from development - test - production. It does (I would guess) at least 90% all the migration steps for you. There are some things that it doesn't do in its current release, but they are always adding things... I hope this helps.

Yes, it only does certain things though. We have purchased it but have not yet installed it.

Hi Susan,

Oracle is trying to compete with SIEBEL in this segment. Though I do not know how is it different from Oracle CRM, SIEBEL CRM is independent of RDBMS and thus has a middle tier, its own tools and code. Right now I believe it is way ahead compared to Oracle in CRM segment of the market.

I am only interested to get some information regarding interfaces if some one is using SIEBEL CRM and ORACLE ERP.

Goodluck dasari

Susan,
CRM (Customer Relationship Management) has been Seibel's business for some time. With customers going more toward business over the Internet, eventually this will be big business. Oracle has recognized this. Most products are geared toward allowing the customer to access more information over the web. While Seibel has been in this market for some time, Oracle is a new player, but with their resources and client base, I think they will become a significant player. You can find out more about these products on the Oracle and Seibel web sites. Seibel is not very happy with Oracles entry into this market, and the two have been exchanging words lately. The advantage I would give to Oracle for the future, because they also sell the applications. Oracle also has a suite of Front Office products, Sales and Marketing, Sales Compensation, and Service. These products also help the client run their business more efficiently. For a client already using Oracle applications, it might be easier for them to use Oracle's CRM. I do not have experience with the Seibel products, but I know they are a quality organization, and have a good reputation. I'm sure there will be more opportunities in this market, both from a development and implementation position. Because I have worked with Oracle's Order Entry and Service apps, CRM is another area where I am trying to develop my skills. Hope this information helps out.

FYI, Oracle also has a CRM suite (current version CRM 3i). It evolved from the former Oracle Front Office suite. Naturally, you should expect a higher degree of integration with Oracle's backend ERP. Also, it has the same technical architecture as Oracle ERP R11 and up, i.e., 3-tier Internet architectured. For more info check out

Subject: CRM - siebel

Hi susan,

CRM is a segment which is growing exponentially. It basically deals with customer relationship management and addresses the pre sales and post sales activity. Siebel is the market leader, as it entered quite early. There is tremendous demand for this segment right now. The other segment which is growing fast is the SCM - supply chain management.

SCM - ERP - CRM completes the total cycle. it integrates the supplier and the customer into ones organisation to make it a seamless one.

This is the reason why, you will find that all the top ERP vendors viz SAP, Oracle, Baan, People soft are adding SCM and CRM extensions to the regular erp offering.

While siebel is the market leader in the CRM segment, Oracle has also launched "Front Office" which includes a comprehensive CRM solution. This broadly matches the features of Siebel and on top integrates with the Oracle Apps. That is the plus.

If you have developed expertise in Oracle Apps, i would suggest, looking at Oracle Front Office, as you can leverage on your existing apps knowledge.

Should you need any further clarification, i would be glad to help. please email me directly

Subject: Re: Automatically Faxing Documents from Oracle

Santos Ltd is faxing purchase orders from Financials. Our approach was to do the following

JetForm to format our purchase orders.
RightFax to send them out.
Both third party software applications reside on an NT server which polls Unix directories for data being provided by Financials. We did it this way to avoid major customisations in our puchasing module. We have added some minor code to PO to send data streams to Unix directories via concurrent manager jobs.

Hello all,

We are currently in production with Oracle Financials and we are using Appworx as our scheduling management tool for nightly and daily jobs processing.

I would like to know of similar sites that are currently using Appworx in their environment since we would like to request for some feedback on their current environment setup.

Tomas,

I used APPWORX around 2 years back and found it to be a good product. You can use it to schedule Oracle Applications and custom concurrent jobs. You can also redirect the output of the program to different printers. I don't remeber all the functionality now but it was a good product. They might have come up with a new version by now with more functionality. I never used any product other than APPWORX so I am not the best person to comapre functionality.

Hi Susan

You can transfer data from an Excel spreadsheet to a Forms 4.5 form by using the SENDKEYS VB macro. You need to write the VB program for this which picks up each data in Excel and dumps it to each Form field.

Subject: Oracle/Financials Resource Monitor -- Free to Download

I would like to let you know that I have created an Oracle Resource Monitor (ORARM) that will permit you to monitor and identify all bottlenecks within your Oracle Financials databases.  This program was created from experiences in supporting the largest Oracle Financials installation in the United States supporting over 6000 users, involving more than 18 Oracle Applications Instances.

Anybody is welcomed to download this program from this URL:

http://www.geocities.com/~binhtpham

The program is about 7Megs in size and will require WinZip to uncompress it.

Please email the address on this web site to obtain the temporary key.  When you do this, please also specify your name, company, phone numbers and email address.

Thanks.
