Hi,

We are planning to start the requirement phase for implementing OTM in our organization and we are looking for some OTM documentation/User Guides to understand how OTM works.

Are there any such documents?

Ravi,

There isn't a ton of OTM documentation out there, but it is slowly growing. If you check out this post (http://www.otmfaq.com/forums/f63/br100-bfa-66/#post122), I've included links to the base OTM documentation that is available from Oracle. I believe Oracle now has included their "Show Me" visual help scripts in the documentation page, available via the "Demo" link.

I hope this helps!

Thanks!

Thanks Chris.

I have already gone through the links mentioned by you. They were not of much use to us. I guess I have to wait for Oracle to release some more documents.

Thanks

Ravi,

I'm sorry these docs weren't of much user to you. If you're looking for functional docs on how to configure and use OTM - right now the online help is your best resource. The only other alternative is the expensive Oracle training, though I hear that they're working on self study courses also (no word on price, though).

Sam and I have discussed creating training materials for OTM, in order to help people learn how to implement and manage the product - though we're still trying to guage the level of interest to make sure it would be worth it.

Thanks Chris.

Actually we are going to have a formal training in our organization on OTM by Oracle shortly. The only problem is that I fear it is going to be more of Glog training rather than OTM.

What I am trying to specifically understand is how OTM integrates with all the other Apps modules? OTM/Glog has a Domain concept vis-a-vis the Multi-Org concept of Oracle Apps. I wanted to know how these two concepts complement each other.

Ravi,

It sounds like you're interested in the EBS / OTM integration and unfortunately this isn't currently covered within any Oracle training course that I'm aware of. In fact, there is very little documentation out there to help - one of the biggest problems I hit while helping several clients implement this. I recently gave a workshop at OAUG Collaborate '07 on this topic and have just posted my presentation deck here on the forums (http://www.otmfaq.com/forums/f24/int...-pitfalls-212/)

If you have specific questions, feel free to reply to that post and I'll answer as best I can -- plus I'm sure it will be of interest to others on the forums.

BTW - there really isn't a difference between OTM and G-Log/GC3 - it's the exact same product. So far they've updated the UI and made some hooks to integrate with EBS. I expect it to take a while before OTM has been fully "Oracle-ized".

Thanks!
