Oracle Application Implementation Methodology

Application Implementation Method is a proven approach, which specifies all the activities which are required to implement oracle applications successfully. The scope of the AIM is enterprise wide . There are eleven processes of implementation. 1. Business Process Architecture[BP] This phase explains: - Existing business practices - Catalog change practices - Leading practices - Future practices 2. Business Requirement Definition[RD] This phase explains about the Base line questionnaire and the gathering of information. 3. Business Requirement Mapping[BR] In this phase we can match all the requirements of business with the standard functionality of the oracle applications. If all the requirements match with oracle standard (with out customization) functionality then, it is called as vanilla implementation). 4. Application and Technical Architecture [TA] Explains the infrastructure requirements to implement oracle applications. For example: - desktops - software - hardware ...

Invoke the utility without arguments to get a list of available parameters. SQL*Loader ( sqlldr ) is the utility to use for high performance data loads. The data can be loaded from any text file and inserted into the database. The below mentioned diagram depicts the SQL*Loader architecture. SQL*Loader reads a data file and a description of the data which is defined in the control file. Using this information and any additional specified parameters (either on the command line or in the PARFILE), SQL*Loader loads the data into the database. During processing, SQL*Loader ...
