Prior to OATM, the EBS database had two tablespaces for each product, resulting in hundreds of tablespaces. OATM contains only twelve locally-managed tablespaces. This simplifies management and requires fewer operating system files. Whether you're already using the Oracle Applications...

Oracle's own use of the E-Business Suite has always been an excellent case study. Our internal EBS environment has grown and evolved over the years.

Larry Klein, Vice President of Oracle's Enterprise IT group, gave a snapshot of the latest statistics and architecture in a fascinating session at...
