RE: Oracle Financials and IBM/AIX Platforms

Tom,

As one who 'transitioned' from a 'normal' DBA (if there ever was a 'normal!) to an 'Apps DBA', I went through a self-learning path (as did many others in this list), and tried to capture this transformation in an article. It is housed at http://www.geocities.com/john_sharmila/links.htm - feel free to read/question.

Be prepared to read, and read lots! Hang out at http://www.oaug.org (get PHBs to purchase a subscription). There is also a Apps-specific listserv there. Metalink will continue to be a favorite (and constant) friend!

All the best,
John Kanagaraj
Oracle Applications DBA
