Toad Add Ons

Knowledge Xperts SQL Tuning Toad Debugging DBA Module E-Business Module Benchmark Factory Data Factory QDesigner

New E-Business Suite Module

Optional Module needing license key (just like DBA module) With Option there is a new Menu eBiz Includes:
1. A Browser, much like the schema browser. 2. A Monitor, much like the database monitor 3. A Report screen with about 10 built-in reports. you can modify them or add your own. 4. A "Lookup finder". a place that Oracle Apps developers can use to find lookup objects and types when writing their queries. You can supply lookup code and/or meaning.

Toad for Oracle E-Business

Oracle E-Business Suite is a complex application; hundreds of thousands of views, tables, procedures and data setups Toad for E-Business simplifies the navigation and display of all these objects Toad for Oracle E-Business helps streamline development and administration in with the E-Business Suite
Same familiar Toad user interface to browse table, view, PL/SQL, write queries, etc Adds functionality to easily drill into Oracle E-Business specific data with a seamless user interface

Toad for Oracle E-Business

Reduce the required research time when developing new components for the Oracle E-Business Suite
Make is easy to see related information on one screen Developers can work in one tool when developing new programs. Eliminates the need to log into the application to determine setup values or configurations

Reduce the administration effort when investigating issues

Rapid navigation between the Application Monitor and User configurable Application reports with an intuitive user interface speeds troubleshooting

Oracle E-Business Browser

The eBiz browser allows administrators and developers to quickly navigate some of the most common Oracle EBusiness data types
Activity, Applications, Audit, Concurrent Programs, Request Sets, Users, Workflow, Printers, Profile Options, Key Flexfields, Descriptive Flexfields, Lookups, Menus, Patches, Data Groups, and Invalid Objects.

Object types are shown with detail screens which allow developers to see key information such as internal IDs, values and other information relevant to the object type. Innovative views, like time shift, point in time, and audit give administrators the tools they always wished they had.

Oracle E-Business Browser

E-Business browser allows developers to easily navigate application features
Applications Users Workflow Flexfields Profile options Menus Audit etc

Oracle E-Business Lookup Finder

The eBiz lookup finder helps the developer find the lookup table or lookup name by only knowing the displayed value of the lookup or list of values (LOV). The lookup finder allows developers to search lookups by the displayed meaning (or lookup code or lookup type). Save time hunting down the appropriate lookup when developing a new form or when configuring concurrent program parameters. No need to manually look through long lists of lookup tables to find the one that needs to be updated.

Oracle E-Business Lookup Finder

Hard to find the lookup type or code based on view application behavior? Use the lookup finder to determine what lookups are being used

Oracle E-Business Monitor

Application administrators can use the eBiz Monitor to measure activity in the application The eBiz monitor allows administrators to identify periods of peak activity Display information about concurrent requests, users logged in and workflow transactions See at a glance if problem exist with pending requests of excessive workflow errors Save time locating the problem spot with the graphical view of your application environment

Oracle E-Business Monitor

Use the application monitor to track performance and usage across the application Users Concurrent requests Workflow

Oracle E-Business Reports

The eBiz report builder allows developers and administrators to quickly design and format reports on critical application data which can be saved and rapidly executed. Utilizes new Toad features while allowing users to store E-Business specific reports within the eBiz report group.
