This review is from: Oracle Application Server 10g Administration Handbook (Osborne ORACLE Press Series) (Paperback)

I have taken the iAS 10 Admin I course from Oracle, and wish that I read this book prior to the class. I found it very valuable especially if you are deploying iAS 10g (9.0.4) on Linux. I highly recommend the book to iAS administrators/DBA's.

3.0 out of 5 stars Summary of the White Papers, February 24, 2005

This review is from: Oracle Application Server 10g Administration Handbook (Osborne ORACLE Press Series) (Paperback)

As an administrator/implementor of these systems, there are many aspects to administering the 10gAS system. Although the authors do make reference the book intends to simplify the rather large amount of documentation, it falls short of a complete guide.

It is good starting point for a default implementation--detailed installation steps, with moderate emphasis on design (ex. touching on distributed administration and delegation). Thus provides adequate groundwork.

The forefront of administration of this product is design choices. For example, the Internet Directoy piece is major component to the architecture--its design greatly impacts administration of the entire system. Perhaps this book was not intended to be a design resource (since it is designated an "Administration Handbook"), but administration in the field of application servers is highly dependent upon design decisions.

The book would be a fair addition to a reference library, but not necessary if one is willing to sift through the vendor "White Paper" documentation--as large and convoluted as it may be.

This review is from: Oracle Application Server 10g Administration Handbook (Osborne ORACLE Press Series) (Paperback)

This book covers how to configure, install and administrate Oracle Application Server 10g infrastructure on Windows Server 2003, Linux and UNIX. I felt that it was a good book and overall I have little ill to say about it. The examples are well written and do a good job of reinforcing what you read in the handbook. You read a little then do an example, then read some more, then add to the example and so on. You will need a solid understanding on Linux and UNIX to complete the exercises and material in this book. This book is definitely not for beginners.
