You're welcome for the information. Your best bet for finding the information you need are the OTM "Administration Guide" and "Technical Architecture" docs available at:

http://www.oracle.com/technology/doc...tion/glog.html

However, here's a brief look at the what you'll need:

1-4 physical servers, in order to house the following:
  • OTM Web Server
  • OTM App Server
  • OTM Reports Server
  • OTM Database Server
In addition, you may need 1 server to house the middleware / integration tier:
  • Oracle 10gR2 Application Server (infrastructure and J2EE tiers) with BPEL 10.1.2.0.2 installed.
For EBS, you'll likely need 1 server that runs:
  • Oracle eBusiness Suite 11.5.10.2 with lots of patches installed (the list grows daily).
The software you'll need to license includes:
  • BEA WebLogic Server 8.1 SP4
  • Oracle DB Server 10gR2 (10.2.0.2) Enterprise Edition
  • Oracle OTM v5.5 CU2
  • Oracle Application Server 10gR2
  • Oracle BPEL Server 10.1.2.0.2
  • Oracle eBusiness Suite 11.5.10.2
Optional software that you'll likely want to license includes:
(note: these programs run on Windows only)
  • PCMiler Server 20.0 with TCP/IP service
  • SMC RateWare Server with CZARLITE tariffs
  • GFI FaxMaker
I'd recommend running all of this on Linux, for performance reasons, however, you should chose the platform that you're technical crew is most comfortable with. Supported platforms for OTM include (in order of popularity):
  • RedHat AS/ES Linux 4.0
  • Solaris 9 or 10
  • Windows 2003 SP1
  • HP-UX 11i v2
  • AIX 5.3
Finally, just a note about the EBS / OTM integration. We're working with each of the first 3 clients to use the Oracle-provided integration flows and have built up considerable knowledge from each. To be honest, it's very new and has not yet been proven in production (though a couple of clients are close). There are still kinks being worked out of the system and it takes a long time to get setup. That, coupled with the fact that there isn't much documentation available, makes for a very difficult installation and configuration. I'd recommend working with OTM for a while and getting up-to-speed on it before tackling the integration.

Hope this helps!
