  • HIDDEN LIMITATIONS OF ORACLE SMART VIEW AND HOW TO OVERCOME THEM

    Oracle Smart View is a popular choice for Oracle ERP Cloud users because it provides a more flexible environment for ad hoc analysis. Unfortunately, Smart View is not purpose-built for finance, so its drill-down capabilities, formatting options, and the ability to combine multiple charts of accounts into a single workbook are all limited.

As the sun sets on Solaris and SPARC, the Unix OS and RISC processor, IT Directors and Managers are tasked with
