• Flexfields, value sets, and application customisation: Build practical expertise in configuring key and descriptive flexfields to organise and validate business data effectively. You'll create value sets, implement validation rules, and apply security controls to ensure accurate data entry. In addition, you'll customise Oracle Forms and Oracle Applications Framework (OAF) pages to improve usability and tailor the application to meet your organisation's business requirements.
• Workflow administration and system monitoring: Gain hands-on experience managing Oracle Workflow and monitoring system health using Oracle Applications Manager (OAM). You'll learn how to manage notifications, configure alerts, purge obsolete workflow data, and troubleshoot application issues. By mastering these monitoring and diagnostic tools, you'll be well prepared to maintain system stability, resolve problems efficiently, and provide effective support for Oracle R12 users.
