Hello and Welcome Mike,
I (as all others I hope) glad to have opportunity to communicate with this high level Oracle Apps DBA.
Just wonder could you share with us (in one of the future your posts) the fist 5 things you are looking at first time been connected to unknown for you Apps environment, in order to check if the environment is more or less installed and maintained correctly?
May be you can give us your thoughts on how to implement OATG patches. How much functional testing has to be involved? Is it good idea to install ATG patches on regular basis? Would 3 month cycle be appropriate for it? Would you recommend installing every CPU patch in Apps environment?
What are top 5 mistakes you have seen on customers sides in context of Apps implementation and maintenance.
Thank you in advance,
Looking forward to read you articles,
Yury
