If you’re looking for something to listen to on your iPod for your commute, I’d recommend dropping into our Oracle E-Business Suite AppCasts center, which has a range of podcasts about Oracle Applications.  These podcasts are hosted by Cliff Godwin, senior vice president of the Applications Technology Group, who manages to pack a lot of information into these interviews with his guests.

Release 12 Techstack Overview: Overview of three-tier logical architecture for E-Business Suite Release 12, including the database, application server, and desktop tiers. 


Lisa Parekh, vice president of our Application Technology Integration team, recently recorded a short podcast with Cliff that touches on the major technology stack advances and highlights in Release 12.  She touches on most of the key new R12 technology stack components and their associated benefits, including:
  • Oracle 10gR2 Database
  • Oracle Application Server 10g (10.1.2 for Forms & Reports, 10.1.3 for HTML & Java)
  • OA Framework and the new user interface
  • Oracle Containers for Java (OC4J)
  • Oracle Personalization
