Applications Topology


Oracle Fusion Applications Topology

Each topology is a collection of multiple products

Common, FIN, PRJ, PRC, CRM, HCM, SCM, BI, GRC

Each product family

Is comprised of one or more applications and FMW products

Gets its own WebLogic domain

– Common domain, FIN domain, PRC domain, HCM domain etc....

Product families have dependencies

i.e. Currencies and currency conversion handled by Financials

Employees handled by HCM

Overview



Common Domain

– All “shared” application and FMW products are deployed in this domain
