Book Review: Oracle Fusion Applications Administration Essentials
Recently, two books on Oracle Fusion Applications have been released:
Oracle Fusion Applications Administration Essentials (this post)
Oracle Fusion Applications Development and Extensibility Handbook (future post)
If you happen to be on the "Fusion Path", you might find these worth purchasing (and reading of course). In this and another article to be published soon, I will provide a review of the new publications.
Oracle Fusion Applications Administration Essentials by Faisal Ghadially and Kalpit Parikh.
I found this book to stay true to its own abstract (quote from the book):
"The book provides detailed how-to steps. However, it does this by ensuring that the high-level context and purpose of these activities are clearly understood. Our purpose in writing this book is to give you a jump-start to managing Oracle Fusion Applications from a technical perspective. Readers who have worked with other Oracle ERP products will find this is an insightful introduction to Oracle Fusion Applications."
In fact, step-by-step procedures for example for installing Fusion Applications are laid out, but only from a high-level process perspective which makes it a good reference for those who want to gain an understanding of what it means to install and administer Oracle Fusion Applications.
The first chapter provides an historical and architectural overview. It nicely lays out the middleware-centric fashion in which Fusion Applications are built.
Don't expect too much from chapter 2, Fusion Application Installation. While providing a concise overview of the necessary steps, it doesn't go into detail.
Chapter 3 introduces the Functional Setup Manager, the one-stop-shop for Fusion Applications administrators and doesn't stay away from talking about migrating setup files between environments.
The fourth chapter takes care of the important topic of security, introducing Oracle Identity Management and the concepts of role-based access control in Fusion Applications.
Chapter 5 is dedicated to the Enterprise Scheduler Service (ESS), another important component of the Fusion Applications architecture. Good to see it covered.
The sixth chapter looks at monitoring and troubleshooting options, covering the audit and logging mechanisms of Oracle Fusion Applications as well as an overview of Cloud Control for Fusion Applications.
The final chapter introduces management tasks such as stopping, starting, patching, backup, and recovery of Fusion Applications.
Summary
With a bit more than 100 pages, the book is lightweight in both the amount of paper as well as the content. However the content is presented in a clear and concise manner. If you find yourself in the growing group of technicians with exposure to Oracle Fusion Applications and need a jump-start, this book is for you. It will help you understand the concepts and makes decisions of further education and reading much easier.
