Hi George, This is a very nice and handy document for beginers. I have worked on Oracle SOA for last few months and have come across many performance related issues while designing any SOA interface. I was little bit curious if there could be any perfomance issue if we use File Adapter rather than using straight forward OS scripting. Would you please share your views in this regard. Many Thanks, Debanjan

I could follow your very lucid article. I am new to Apps though. could you list out the steps to verify that the salary proposal has indeed been created from Apps UI? TIA
