Hello,
Let me pre-fix this with the statement that these questions may be totally stupid, but I've spent time on the Oracle Portal web site and not found too much real documentation other than alot of acroynms. I have some specific questions which I'd appreciate some direct answers on, or maybe even some advice on how to ask better questions. Thanks for your time, pls read on:
For purposes of simulation we have a requirement to:
1, be able to hold specification data of aircraft and aircraft system
attributes that amount to approximately 30 fields per system where an
aircraft could be made up of 5-10 sub systems.
2, Associate Document data with certain countries including studies
3, Have a workflow system, such that a simulation analysis study goes
through the appropriate verification from different users before it is
published.
4, Automatically generate the skeleton of a report including various
information from aircraft and aircraft systems
Issues for Req #1:
Due to the high numbers of attributes tools like WedDB out of the box didn't
have a nice user interface for moderately large amounts of data. We have
seen the user interface components in tools such as Lotus Notes that seem to
be user friendly such that data fields can be easily tab separated. With
Oracle Portal are there plug in user interface elements we could use to make
the data entry process friendlier?
Issues for Req #2:
This one seems straight forward
Issues for Req #3:
Does Oracle Portal have a workflow plug-in?
Issues for Req #4:
Does Oracle Portal have a configurable document generator?
Pls email direct aswell as post back to the group.
Thanks again,
