CLOSED:What Is Extensible Attribute Architecture?

1. Tar # SR 3-1653178611
2. Customer:SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
3. Patchset levels:
12.1.1

4. Description of problem or question to be answered.
Client is reading the Oracle Teleservice Implementation & User Guide Ver 12.1 Page 43-6 Para 7 - "You can use the same extensible attribute architecture to capture additional information for database objects other than service requests"). Client wants to know exactly what is extensible attribute architecture?

Is this the same as setting up descriptive flexfields? If no, what is extensible attribute architecture and how does client set this up?

Here is the comment from client:
Like in Oracle Forms, we have DFFs to add additional attributes to a standard Form, simialarly for OA Framework pages, Oracle provides (via a new architecture) an unlimited number of attributes that can be added to that OA Framework pages. These attributes are called Extensible Attributes. e.g. You can add extensible attributes in the TeleService module to entities like Service Request, Customer and Associated Party. Oracle claims that the same new architecture can be used to extend any database object.

Client wants to use these Extensible Attributes in Oracle Loans module. I posted this to the Loans forum and development suggested I post to Telesales forum as they are not aware of extensible attribute architecture.

Thank you,
Cindy

Keep in mind that WebLogic is a replacement of OC4J in the Application Server stack. What do you intend to use it for ?

We want to migrate from Application server to WebLogic.
Erik Janssen-Oracle
Sure, but what kind of environment are you migrating? Custom J2EE application, Oracle Forms, Portal ?

WebLogic is fine for J2EE. Should be faster than OC4J especially if you use JROCKET.

Assuming that you use Oracle Portal :

The latest Oracle Portal version (11g) utilizes WebLogic. Older versions use OC4J. I'd go for the latest version. Oracle might desupport the 10g version end of 2011.

Thanks,
EJ
