Business Architecture: Oracle Applications R12.x
1. R12.x EBS (ERP, CRM, SCM, SEM
2. R12.x EBS has 5 principles that drive its business architecture:
•
Modern foundation
–
•
•
Complete (100+ different sub-modules)
End-to-end integration
–
•
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
–

integration is engineered into the product, thereby providing a fully
NATIVE integrated package—one that is not realized through system
integrations and customizations.
Global
–
•
standards include using Java/J2EE, HTML, JavaScript (JSP), Internetaccessibility, and centralized management
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

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

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.
