Hi,

I assume you mean what additional duties over that of a DBA will you need to perform.

As Apps is such a piece of sh*t you can expect to spend 90% of your APPS DBA life applying patches :(

Your also be involved in cloning the environments, managing concurrent managers, upgrades, alerts, workflow plus managing the varios financial tools ADI, etc.

Have fun

hello jovery,
thanks for information. the job that you have suggested is almost clear to me. But now i want more about cloning. How we can perform this and what are the benefits of it?

[jovery]

Cloning is effectivly duplicating a complete envirnoment, typically used to create test or development environments which are exact copies of production.

A cloned environment can give a more acurate test bench for patches or upgrades because you are effectively implementing a change on production data without affecting the production system.
