RE: ADI Warning

Bambi - Obviously you've gone in so deep you forgot how dumb some of us are. To stem a tide of questions "what the heck is ADI", here it is. Dennis Williams

ORACLE APPLICATIONS DESKTOP INTEGRATOR 11i OracleŽ ADI is a spreadsheet-based extension to Oracle Applications that offers full cycle accounting and asset management within the comfort and familiarity of a spreadsheet. ADI combines a spreadsheet's ease of use with the power of Oracle Applications to provide true desktop integration during every phase of the accounting cycle. You can create budgets, record transactions, add assets, reconcile inventory, define and publish reports from any application to the web, a spreadsheet, or standard text output, and you can even perform account drilldown and analysis-all without leaving the desktop.

Friends --

Lately I've been relegated to the deepest recesses of the dark murky depths of Oracle's product line. I see you blithely exchanging DBA mail and look on longingly, pining for the fjords, as it were. But I digress.

If you every have to install ADI on a PC, make sure it doesn't have any Oracle products installed on it. Make sure there are no Oracle directories either in C: or in C:\Program Files. If you do, you will not be able to install ADI, and must deinstall all existing Oracle products before installing ADI, which, graciously, comes with SQL*Plus and SQL*Net. Everything else needs to be reinstalled. Oh, and that old TNSNAMES.ora file you have hanging around, it don't mean anything to ADI.

I just can't fathom why Oracle would do this to itself. I hope its foot starts feeling better soon.

Bambi.
