Summary: Go with the online documentation
Review: After comparing a sample chapter of this book (chapter 5, Managing the Financials Environment) with the free "Maintaining Oracle Applications" PDF in the 11i documentation set, I must agree with most of the other reviewers here. Chapter 5 of this book parallels the PDF *very* closely -- except that the PDF has a more thorough treatment of the subject!I had hoped that this book would provide extra, real-world, practical insights that went beyond the product documentation. It appears to do nothing of the kind. Looks like I'll be printing the PDF's on our high-speed laser printer and sticking them in a 3-ring binder....

Summary: Contents of the book exactly match the contents of 11i docs.
Review: Contents of the book exactly match the contents of 11i docs. Don't waste your money buying this book. It is not worth at all. Oracle documentation (install guide, maintain apps, concepts etc) are better when put together in a folder than this book.

Summary: Dont get into any tussle trying to get your hands on it.
Review: First thought that this book was worht enough to get a copy of regardless of whatever means were used, but to my dissapointment the book turned out to be just another one of those also rans. 90 % Contents are from Oracle Applications Documentation.

Summary: Copy of Oracle Applications Documentation
Review: I ordered this book hoping to get some in dept knowledge on custom alerts, concurrent manager, and custom printing, as well as case studies on things to look out for. This book is basically a copy of Oracle Apps 11i documentation put into one book. If you took Oracle 11i concepts, Oracle Apps Upgrade, Oracle Apps Installation, Maintain Oracle Apps, Oracle Apps System Admin, and Oracle 8i New features you would have this book. There are no in debt examples of things to look out for or examples of the more complex areas of System Admin dealing with concurrent manager, alerts, printer setup and troubleshooting. If you don't want to read through all the Oracle Apps 11i documentation on Technet, but instead want it all ordered nicely in a book then order this book. If you want an in depth book with examples and case studies then save your money.

Summary: Book Disappoints
Review: It really does not discuss financials specific issues - a lot of it is discussing Oracle tuning etc. No screen shots are available either . Most topics are not covered in any depth- Ex Chapter on Open Interfaces mostly explains autonomous transactions, bulk binds and invokers rights - not really open interfaces

Summary: Don't waste your money
Review: Other reviews for this book say that it's just a reprint of the Apps documentation, if only that were true it might be of some value. I'm new to Apps and wanted a book that would give me the basics without having to wade through the App's documentation on-line. However, even at my beginner level this book disappointed. I feel like I've been conned.
