• Character Interface Mode• Runs Almost on Mini-Computers (e.g. UNIX m/c)• Users connect to the software either through a ‘dumb’ terminal or through terminal emulation software running on a PC

Architecture Overview of Oracle Applications - (10.7 Smart Client)

• 2 Tier Architecture• In this configuration large proportion of the Applications Software was placed on the PC’s of individual users.• Database and some of the more resource hungry report processing software remained on the serverAdvantages :

It allowed the adoption of ‘GUI’ technology Users found much easier to learn

Disadvantages :Huge maintenance effort required to support such

a configuration Eg : Applying Patches

Architecture Overview of Oracle Applications 11i - Advantages

Client Tier

• No Oracle files are stored on the desktop client• Only software you typically have on the user’s desktop is

a Java-enabled Web Browser• Java-enabled Web browser manages the

downloading,start-up, and storage of the Forms Client on the end user’s desktop


Application Tier

• Eliminates the need to install and maintain application software on each desktop client and helps to reduce network traffic

•All the Oracle Applications product files are in the file system of the application tier servers.

• User Interface Logic lies on this tier.• It Mediates between the Forms Client on the end user’s

desktop and the Oracle database server on the back end, producing the effects a user sees on screen, and causing changes in the database records based on user actions.


Database Tier

• Typically a UNIX Machine• Contains the data manipulation logic and manages the

database

Defining a Data Group Defining a Data Group

By defining a data group you can:• Associate an Oracle ID (database

account) with an application• Maintain a list of Oracle Applications

and their Oracle IDs
