Overview of Setting Up

This section contains an overview of the steps you need to complete to set up Oracle Mobile Supply Chain Applications. For instructions on how to complete each task, see the setup sections indicated in each step.

Setup involves several phases, including setting up other applications. You may not need to perform some of the steps below if you've already performed a common-application setup.

The setup steps in this chapter tell you how to implement the parts of Oracle Applications specific to Oracle Mobile Supply Chain Applications.

The Oracle Mobile Application Server enables you to perform Oracle Application transactions through the use of mobile industrial devices using the Telnet Protocol Server.
