2.0 out of 5 stars Copy of Oracle Applications Documentation, December 17, 2001

By A Customer

I ordered this book hoping to get some in dept knowledge on custom alerts, concurrent manager, and custom printing, as well as case studies on things to look out for. This book is basically a copy of Oracle Apps 11i documentation put into one book. If you took Oracle 11i concepts, Oracle Apps Upgrade, Oracle Apps Installation, Maintain Oracle Apps, Oracle Apps System Admin, and Oracle 8i New features you would have this book. There are no in debt examples of things to look out for or examples of the more complex areas of System Admin dealing with concurrent manager, alerts, printer setup and troubleshooting. If you don't want to read through all the Oracle Apps 11i documentation on Technet, but instead want it all ordered nicely in a book then order this book. If you want an in depth book with examples and case studies then save your money.

1.0 out of 5 stars Go with the online documentation, April 23, 2002

By A Customer

After comparing a sample chapter of this book (chapter 5, Managing the Financials Environment) with the free "Maintaining Oracle Applications" PDF in the 11i documentation set, I must agree with most of the other reviewers here. Chapter 5 of this book parallels the PDF *very* closely -- except that the PDF has a more thorough treatment of the subject!

I had hoped that this book would provide extra, real-world, practical insights that went beyond the product documentation. It appears to do nothing of the kind. Looks like I'll be printing the PDF's on our high-speed laser printer and sticking them in a 3-ring binder....

1.0 out of 5 stars Contents of the book exactly match the contents of 11i docs., December 20, 2001

By	Mohammed M. Siddiqui "siddiqui2000" (Bensalem, PA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Contents of the book exactly match the contents of 11i docs. Don't waste your money buying this book. It is not worth at all. Oracle documentation (install guide, maintain apps, concepts etc) are better when put together in a folder than this book.
