Brandon,
I went through this exercise recently. You may be underestimating the amount
of time it takes to install the App Server, depending on the components; for
example, to install the Business Intelligence module that includes Oracle
Discoverer (remember how easy that used to be to install?), the App Server
instance has to be registered with an OID instance. If you don't have an OID
instance, you'll have to create one.
Once it's all installed, though, it doesn't seem to require much looking after.

Subject: Admin effort required for Oracle AS Forms & Reports
Hi List,
I'm just trying to get a feel for how much effort I should be planning on to
support an Oracle 10g Apps Server running only the Forms & Reports services. I
have years of DBA experience, but absolutely none with Apps Server - however
that's all about to change, thanks to a new version of an Oracle Forms app
called Khameleon that one of my customers is planning to upgrade to soon. The
new version runs on Oracle Apps Server instead of the old 6i Forms. From my
quick scan of the documentation so far, it looks like supporting AS is going to
require a significantly larger amount of effort, but I thought I'd try to get a
feel from some of you who may have experience with it. I'm guessing 8 hours or
so to get it installed and configured initially, and I'm hoping my involvement
can be minimal after that - maybe an hour a week or so. I know the answer is a
big fat "IT DEPENDS", but I'm just looking for some rule-of-thumb or anecdotal
type information if anyone would like to share
their experiences. Is it a "set it and forget it" kinda thing, like the RonCo
Food Dehydrator, or does it require constant care and feeding?
Thanks,
Brandon
