This concise book is aimed at experienced Oracle database administrators, system administrators, and developers who are using either Oracle8 or Oracle7. It emphasizes the differences between traditional Oracle administration and Oracle/SAP administration, and it supplements the Oracle and SAP documentation.

A real-world reference on how an application is developed with PeopleSoft software (PeopleTools), including information on relational entities, data objects, default functionality, and error checking. The book uses detailed, step-by-step examples of an actual application created by the author for a client, and includes a multitude of screen shots and CD-ROM screen cam files that explain exactly how to implement these examples.

Author and consultant Bradley D. Hiquet puts a new and much-needed shine on the old technology-reference-book model in SAP R/3 Implementation Guide: A Manager's Guide to Understanding SAP. Instead of forcing readers down the tedious but often necessary path of configuration commands, Hiquet chronicles the fictional journey of ElectroTech, a manufacturer of industrial electrical components and factory automation products, through its SAP R/3 implementation and rollout. Except for the book's first section, which deftly handles the requisite company, target market, and application overview, the rest is dedicated to this gigantic composite case study.

A guide to all stages of R/3 installation, implementation, operation, and support. Explains the ABAP/4 development workbench, the transport system, R/3 services distribution, systems architecture, and system administration. Also discusses the Basis system and technical implementation issues as well as connectivity options such as SAP business Workflow, Fax, ALE, EDI, and ArchiveLink. Contains illustrations and problem-solving examples from real-life UNIX and Windows NT platforms.
