Oracle 11i E-Business Suite Essentials for Implementers

I’ve recently written a couple of posts on the new certification track for Oracle Applications that has just been released. I’ve ordered the Oracle 11i e-Business Suite Essentials for Implementers Self-Study CD Course which is designed for the first exam (Exam #1Z0-200) in the Financials certification track. The course consists of two CD-ROM’s produced by Thomson Netg and wanted to let you know my first impressions of the course material.

I have to say that I’m quite impressed with the training material. Unfortunately, I don’t have any other material of a similar nature (from an Oracle perspective) to compare it with. However, I’ve found it to be a very good introduction to the high level concepts relating to implementation. In particular, although I’ve been implementing Oracle E-Business Suite for about 5 years now I’ve pretty much stuck to the functional side of things and I found that this provides you with a good understanding of the technical architecture and concepts. Course Topics are as follows:

Oracle 11i e-Business Suite Essentials for Implementers Part 1

Oracle E-Business Suite Essentials Part1

Oracle 11i Architecture

  • Business and Technical Architecture

Shared Entities and Integration Points

  • Shared Entities and Suite Products

Multi-Org Fundamentals

  • Multi-Org: Introduction
  • Multi-Org: Application

Oracle 11i System Administration

  • Application Security Overview
  • Defining Users
  • Creating Responsibilities
  • Menus and Forms

Oracle 11i e-Business Suite Essentials for Implementers Part 2

Oracle E-Business Suite Essentials Part 2

Flexfields Fundamentals

  • Flexfields: Concepts
  • Value Sets
  • Key Flexfields
  • Descriptive Flexfields

Workflow Fundamentals

  • Workflow: Introduction
  • Workflow: Components
  • Workflow: Business Event System

Alerts Fundamentals

  • Alerts: Introduction

At the end of each course topic there are self assessment questions which are helpful in determining whether you’ve learnt enough to be ready for the exam. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending this CD based learning to anyone who wants to learn more about Oracle Financials. If you would like to ask me any further questions about the content please add your comments. BTW, I’m not prepared to burn copies of the CD for anyone so please don’t ask!!

  2. The material wil be different to the Oracle University Student Guide as far as I’m aware. I think the exam is still in Beta.

  3. Hi Richard,

    I read your post about the contents of the Oracle 11i E-Business Suite Essentials.

    I took the beta exam a few days back, and apart from what you’ve listed, I also found that there were a number of questions on Oracle Daily Business Intelligence too ! The number of questions were about 150, which were distributed among System Administration, Alerts, Workflows, Flexfields, Multi-Org concepts and Daily Business Intelligence (DBI). Atleast 10% of the questions pertained to DBI.

    Can we have further info from others, if someone else has also taken this exam ?

    Regards,
    Rakesh Tripathi.

  7. Hi,

    Just a word of caution. The NetG Ceebs should be used for an overview. For the E-Biz Suite exam it does not cover the DBI area and infact SkillSoft Ceebs map to the cso of the exam better.

    Having cleared the GL exam in version 11 and having seen the NetG ceebs GL fundamentals I believe they are woefully inadequate from the point of view of the Cert Exam.

    The Ceebs are good for a novice to get a feel and understanding of APPS.

    The best bet to pass the exam is to prepare from the User Guides strictly the content specified for each exam.
    Cheers
    Chris

  8. Manikandan, this course is suitable for Manufacturing people since it is one of the pre-requisites for the Supply Chain Certification.

  9. Hi Richard,

      I was looking at the Oracle Knowledge Center and they do have a good course for Oracle 11i e-Business Suite Essentials for Implementers. I would like to know if you would recommend this.  Also I see that people talking about User Guide for this Certification would you have an idea if this is available on the local market / book stores ? If so could you please let me know the author of the book.

      I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask this question but here it goes – After getting Certified as a “ Oracle 11i Financials Certified Professional Consultant” either in payables or receivables, What would be your view on the job market for some one like me who has been closely associated in selling oracle products but no actual implementation knowledge?

    Thank you

  11. All the above information is available at - Education.oracle.com

    Oracle 11i e-Business Suite Essentials - Has an Instructor Led Class which helps when you take the class you are also give very good material which is mapped to the certification.

    The price of the CDs vary in dependence of the regions you want it. Oracle does have user guides available at -

    http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/applications.html

    or

    http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25516_08/current/html/docset.html


    but this can be used a s guidance .. and are very much in detailed for a new user. (This is my opinion)

  12. Any experience with the On-line version of 11i e-Business Suite Essentials for Implementers offered by Oracle via the Partners Network?  I have started the course an am running into issue with the course.  If I pause or rewind - my real player gets hung rebuffering or communicating.  I have verified that I have the latest version of real player.  Wondering if anyone else has had this issue and been able to resolve?
