I am pleased to announce that Oracle will provide a Live Demo on Oracle Fusion Applications HCM at Logica the Netherlands on March 13th.

If you have any questions regarding Oracle Fusion Applications (HCM), leave your question in the comments section and I will try to ask your question to Oracle during the Demo. After this I will report back the answers in this post.

Oracle Fusion Applications is now available in other languages then English. The supported languages include translated UI strings as well as translated embedded help strings for all products in Oracle Fusion Applications.

As promised Oracle is now supplying Oracle Fusion Applications on Windows. Most system administrators and installers will probably say, why is this important?

Bringing Oracle Fusion Applications to Windows makes the application more accessible to the ‘common man’. Let’s be honest, the majority of IT does have knowledge and access to Windows, a smaller part has knowledge of Linux and an ever smaller part has any experience with IBM AIX and Oracle Solaris, not even to mention the availability of these two operation systems for the common IT. Since Oracle Fusion Applications is made up of so many Oracle components, Oracle Fusion Applications has attracted the interest of not only the ERP community, but also the attention of other communities like DBA’s, Middleware/Integration specialists, etc and they all want to get a taste of the future.

By now, most of us know it takes more resources to run a Fusion Applications environment, than any other ERP system. Creating a local sandbox, to acquire knowledge and experience of  Fusion Applications, is not done on local servers anymore.

Do not despair …

In my previous post I described which installation files where needed to install Oracle Fusion Applications. Prior to installing Oracle Fusion Applications you need to install and configure Oracle Identity Management (IDM).

This post will describe the installation of Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 Update 6 (64 bit) to host Oracle Identity Management.
