Oracle Profile Options

Here are a few profile options that I use often in an Oracle implementation.

'Site Name:' and 'Java Color Scheme'
These are used for distinguishing Oracle eBusiness Suite environments - the name gets displayed on top of the "Form" Window. Make sure you share this with your favourite DBA's as they should update this profile option every time they clone environments.

Utilities Diagnostics:
In case you don't get along with your DBA, and you don't know the APPS password, this is an excellent tool for troubleshooting issues raised in Oracle. You can still examine fields via the Help > Diagnostics > Examine menu path when this profile option is set to 'Yes' at your user level. Some DBA's also use this profile option to control the display of the diagnostics menu, by setting up the following profile option: 'Hide Diagnostics menu entry'.

Search for all profile options starting with "OIE:%":
When setting up Internet Expenses, make sure you review these profile options and what each of them are used for, even before the scoping phase of a project starts, this will definately help you with your implementation of the iExpense module, and have a better understanding of the functionalities available in this module.

Please send me your profile options - so we can build a little library of tips and tricks.
