Oracle Apps (or ERP or E-Business Suite .. I have seen it called any or all of the three and some other things besides, not all of them very polite) is a HUGE subject area. Even worse, it is broken down into technical and functional parts and many modules. There are people that spend their entire careers working on one small part of the Order Entry module. This is why you will almost always see a list of modules associated with any Oracle Apps job request.
When you get down to it there are 2 things that you need to know (depending on precisely what part you are working on) PL/SQL and Java (at the moment anyway, the technology under the hood varies with versions). It is NOT something you can bluff your way through because the interactions between screens and tables and all of the other assorted bits and pieces is decidedly non-trivial. In order to make the end product as flexible as possible there are, in some places, multiple levels of indirection that you have to be able to follow and very few people have a good handle on more than a couple modules. Getting certified without any real experience is a sure way to get yourself fired after a week because it will be immediately obvious that you don't know what you are doing. You don't say how extensive your experience is so it is hard to tell what that means. Some people think that they are very seasoned with a year or two experience, I am not one of those people. If you have a solid background in non-trivial PL/SQL and Java (specifically JSP) then I think that you could sell yourself as someone that could pick up the technical side of Oracle Apps. You wouldn't be able to get top dollar but you would get your foot in the door Rob On Apr 5, 4:49 pm, weird0 <[email protected]> wrote: > I have seen a lot of jobs on Oracle ERP.
