The three-tier architecture that comprises an Oracle E-BusinessSuite installation is made up of the database tier, the application tier,and the desktop tier.

Desktop Tier


39/57




39

The Desktop Tier provides a single point of access to HTML-basedapplications, Forms-based applications, and Business Intelligenceapplications.

Desktop Tier


40/57
