Re: Oracle Application Server Admin

Like everything else that has Oracle written on it, I have to install and configure it (we're a small team). 2 or 3 years ago, I installed a new version that doesn't require an infrastructure. What a relief. We only use the mod_plsql, some reports, very few forms and the WebCache. By the way, the WebCache is very effective. We use it for all static files and some plsql procedures.

Once you get it up and running (and it's not so bad without the infrastructure), it requires little attention. I apply the CPUs and that's almost it.
