What you’ll learn
This Oracle R12 course gives you a solid command of key system administration tasks. You’ll explore how Oracle Applications are structured, learn how to maintain security and control, and develop the ability to monitor, customise and troubleshoot your Oracle R12 environment with confidence – all reinforced through interactive, live lab exercises.
Application security and user management
Learn to create and manage users, assign responsibilities, and implement both standard and role-based access models (RBAC). You’ll understand how to define access permissions, restrict menu items, exclude functions, and control data access based on organisational roles. You’ll also explore best practices for delegated administration, self-service access, and managing secure user hierarchies. By the end of the module, you’ll be able to configure robust security structures that support safe and compliant use of Oracle Financials.
Concurrent processing and system setup
Understand the mechanics of concurrent processing in Oracle R12 and how it impacts system performance. You’ll learn how to define and monitor concurrent managers, set up workshifts, and allocate processing resources efficiently. The instructor will guide you through configuring profile options, registering custom programmes, and managing request groups to control how tasks are scheduled and executed. You’ll also cover printer configuration and log file handling. These practical exercises build confidence in managing processing queues, avoiding resource conflicts and keeping system operations flowing smoothly across user environments.
Flexfields, value sets and customisation
Explore how Oracle’s flexfield system enables structured and customisable data input. You’ll gain practical experience defining both key and descriptive flexfields, including segment structures and value set hierarchies. The instructor will guide you on validation types, shorthand aliases and security rules to ensure input quality and consistency. You’ll also learn how to tailor the user interface through form personalisation and Oracle Applications Framework (OAF) configuration. These skills enable you to create clean, relevant interfaces that support accurate data entry and enhance the end-user experience.
Workflow and diagnostics
Develop the skills to manage Oracle R12 workflows and resolve issues before they affect business processes. You’ll learn how to use Oracle Workflow Monitor to track task progress and notifications, and how to set up and maintain automated alerts. You’ll also work with Oracle Applications Manager (OAM) to identify and resolve system bottlenecks, review log files, and use diagnostic utilities. Finally, purging outdated workflow data and monitoring real-time user sessions is also covered - tasks essential for maintaining system stability and user satisfaction.
