That right, packaged software like SAP and
PeopleSoftware should be learned in the real implementation or real usage case.
By simply getting the software and use it yourself, it is very difficult to even
grasp the basic idea about those business transactions.

Your enthusiasm is admirable,
but I think that it would be extremely
difficult for you to learn any of these packages without actually
being
in an environment where they are
used.
It may be that Tecsys is a
complex set of apps on the same level
as SAP or Oracle Apps, and if so, then maybe that background
would prepare you to tackle this on
your own.
Either way, it will be
difficult without access to official support, which
you won't have unless you're in a working environment
that includes
the app you are
attempting to learn.
You would
also not have exposure to the people that are actually
using the stuff, which is pretty important for software
that is directly
used by most of the
user community, unlike a database.

As an applications analyst/junior dba, I feel I need to learn more
but
I'm not sure of the direction I should take, so I'm asking for
advice.
Should I become interested in Oracle Apps? Or should I learn
another
suite like SAP or Siebel or PeopleSoft? The difficulty is that
my
company does not use any of these. We use a smaller package by
Tecsys
called Elite and they don't have as many customers - or should I
say, as
many customers with deep pockets.
I know I can get my hands
on a working copy of SAP, what about the
others? I believe you can purchase
an evaluation copy of Apps from the
Oracle Store. Has anyone actually tried
to train themselves on any of
these products? Has anyone installed Apps at
home for testing?
Sorry if this question has been presented on the
list before.
Thanks,
Saira
