Using Oracle Application Server 10g with E-Business Suite (OpenWorld 2009 Recap)
Every year I provide an OpenWorld update on the various ways that E-Business Suite users can use different Oracle Application Server 10g components. This presentation covers many of the topics that I visit regularly on this blog, neatly summarizing them in a single package with the latest Fusion Middleware certified versions (and desupport notices) in one place: * Using Oracle Application Server 10g with E-Business Suite (Session S307958, PDF, 1.3 MB)

Hands-On with Oracle's iPhone Apps
The last time Steven covered the iPhone was November 2008, which is roughly 1948 in Internet time. Heck, the App Store had less than 9,000 apps in it back then and it's now just around 40,000 apps. Oracle has been enabling our enterprise solutions for that platform and many of them impact EBS administrators, so we'll summarize them here.
E-Business Suite Specific Applications
Steven noted that Oracle Business Approvals for Managers is now Available for the iPhone. That really is a cool solution. Using Oracle Workflow for expense reports, purchase order requisitions, human resources vacancies, and HR job offers, Release 12 end-users can perform approvals on the fly in a native iPhone app, including drilling to detail on each notification.
Our SOA technologies allow us to add on new user experiences like the iPhone UI, but architecturally it's just like a Rich Internet Application. Because of this, we can use the same infrastructure to support Oracle Business Approvals for Sales Managers for the Siebel CRM platform with all the same advantages. The E-Business Suite version had been downloaded through the App Store over 12,000 times as of March 2009, so this must be old hat for some of you.
Sneak Preview: Portlet Generator and Business Service Object Generator for EBS (OpenWorld 2008 Recap)
I'm going to get through my OpenWorld backlog eventually. If I'm lucky, I'll be done just in time to start working on my OAUG/Collaborate backlog for next year's conference in Florida.
I'm (still) highlighting OpenWorld 2008 presentations that cover some of the most popular E-Business Suite technology stack topics. A catalog of all of the Applications Technology track sessions with links to the presentations is available here:

Oracle Business Approvals for Managers Now Available for iPhone
As an enthusiastic Apple iPhone user, I am very pleased to see that our Applications Unlimited team has released their newest iPhone application: Oracle Business Approvals for Managers. This free (!) iPhone application allows managers to handle pending E-Business Suite actions related to expense reports, purchase order requisitions, human resources vacancies, and HR job offers. Managers can use this mobile app to evaluate pending EBS approvals, request more information, and approve or reject pending requests.
This iPhone app builds on the Oracle Business Indicators iPhone application. Oracle Business Approvals for Managers provides optional access to analytic reports related to the type of approval that users are reviewing. This configuration retrieves data from Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition Plus (OBIEE) or Oracle Business Intelligence Applications. All communications are secured via SSL encryption and may be optionally integrated with Oracle Identity Management components, too.
