This tutorial explains about Oracle Apps login, Choosing Responsibility, Choosing Function / Opening Form, Switch Responsibility, Query Form and Keyboard Shortcuts. This chapter would tell a user about the basics of login to the Oracle Applications instance. It would also demonstrate the basics of working with Oracle Applications. To understand the complete functionality of a particular responsibility please refer to the respective User Guide.
Oracle Applications Login
Before you connect to Oracle Applications you must know the URL of the Oracle Applications server you want to connect to. Clicking on the URL would lead you to the Oracle Applications Login Page as shown in figure 1 below.

Choosing Responsibility
To connect to the Oracle Applications, you must have an Oracle Apps login ID created by the System Administrator of the Oracle Applications instance.
Enter the appropriate Login ID and password and click login. If the login is successful it will lead you to the responsibility page as shown in figure 2 below. This page will show all the responsibilities that have been assigned to your Login ID by the System Administrator.
List of Responsibilities
Choosing Function / Opening Form
Once you click on a responsibility, it will show you the menus and functions associated with the responsibility. Click on the Sys Admin, Vision Services (USA) responsibility. The page will look like as shown in the figure 3 below.
Menus and Functions attached to a responsibility
Each function under a menu opens a form when clicked upon. The forms are basically an interface between you and the applications for various functionalities. These forms are run on Oracle Jinitiator. Once you click on a function, the jinitiator is invoked and it then opens the respective form. If you are login for the first time, Oracle Applications automatically downloads and installs the jinitiator for you. It, therefore, takes a longer time to open the form for the first time. Once the jinitiator is installed, it opens an intermediate window (figure 4) before the form is opened. Please do not close this window as it will close the Oracle Applications session. Wait till the form window opens up automatically. The intermediate page would go to the background.
