I have a love-hate relationship with Metalink. On the one hand, it’s a great repository of our Applications technology stack-related documents and has just gotten a bit of a facelift.
On the other hand, it’s hard to browse and oddly organized. And the worst aspect? It’s behind a firewall, so I can’t compensate for its quirky search engine by Googling it. As a result of these shortcomings, I end up having to maintain a private list of bookmarks to vital Metalink Notes.
Here are the Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) summaries for E-Business Suite technology stack topics that I refer to on a regular basis:
