Administration

…to define printers in Release 10 : 1) Create an O/S queue for the printer, 2) Define printer types, 3) Define printer styles, 4) Define printer drivers, 5) Assign drivers to styles, 6) Register printers


On a UNIX system, if you go into the Define Printer Driver form and change the Arguments to /NONOTIFY and also remove the /TITLE parameter, it would eliminate the banner pages.


Define an application user name as the first initial followed by the last name.


Set site-level option values before setting the other three levels of profile options. Site level options work as defaults until the same options are specified at the other levels.


You should set site-level default values for any required profile options after the application’s installation. If you do not assign a particular profile option at any of the four levels, that option does not have a default value and may cause errors when you use forms, run reports, or run concurrent requests.


Use menu reports to document your custom menus before upgrading. An upgrade will "refresh" (read overwrite) all menus for an application. Associate your local menus with a custom application to avoid loosing your local menus.


See Paper #45 from the Orlando Spring 1996 OAUG Conference for a complete discussion of how to protect your local code during an upgrade.


There are some interesting scripts in the $FND_TOP/sql directory.


Although Oracle ships about 220 countries and territories with the system, sometimes you may need to create a new country or territory. The individual applications responsibilities cannot create new country records, but the system administration responsibility can add to this table.


To isolate and manage long running reports: Define a specific concurrent manager for long running reports and define a work shift for this conc. manager such that it can run only during off-peak hours. Then in the define conc. program screen, you can assign this conc. manager to the conc. program, so that any conc. request for long running reports gets handled automatically by this specific conc. Manager.


It is not recommended to turn archive log on while installing or applying patches. In these cases the archive log files may fill up the file systems and installation or application of patches stalls. Once everything is complete, then you can turn archive log on.
