Figure 1-1 shows the basic network architecture of Oracle TMS, with the client on the left, the application-tier servers in the middle, and database tier on the right. An icon represents each component, with text below it that describes the required Oracle software. The client is depicted as a desktop computer with a monitor. There are double-pointed arrows diagonally up and to the right from the client to the Forms Server, and diagonally down and to the right from the client to the Reports Server. The Forms Server and Reports Server computers are both depicted as application server computers. An arrow points from the Reports Server left to a printer. The Web and Reports Servers communicate with each other, so a double-pointed arrow connects these computers. A double-pointed arrow also connects each application server and the database server. The database tier is depicted as a database server, and includes labels for Oracle 11g and Oracle TMS.
