RE: Oracle Financials Question

I endorse what Tim has said, and if you read old "classic" advice to the contrary about placement of the ConcMgr, remember to rationalize that advice with the relative penetration of 10Mbit, 100Mbit, and Gbit LANs and the corresponding improvements in switches, routers and LAN segmentation technology. Network loads 10 years ago that swamped LANs and were throughput bottlenecks at 10Mbit almost can't be seen on a graphical display of load on a Gbit LAN. 10 years ago it was a pretty solid presumption in one direction and now it is an excellent presumption in the other direction.

In general you still want to place your apps server(s) "near" the database server.

Tom,

Start with the latest patchset. Patching with E-Biz is a full-time job (no kidding!), so best start out as far ahead as possible...

Be aware of the separation of "apps-tier" and "db-tier". The "db-tier" of E-Biz can be any old generic RDBMS, but that necessitates that everything about E-Biz go into the "apps-tier" (i.e. Forms, portal, concurrent manager). Sometimes, folks like to install ConcMgr into the "db-tier". Personally, I see that as needed only if the load on ConcMgr is so high that the network proves to be a bottleneck. Note the use of the phrase "proves to be"... :-)

You'll be happier with a separate LPAR for the "apps-tier", though it is fairly common to have both tiers on the same LPAR/server in small configurations.

Hope this helps1

-Tim
