Issues of Using Database & Weblogic with E-Business Suite

This is possibly the biggest concern small businesses face while using E-Business Suite. Larger companies generally do not have this as a direct challenge. Customers need to license either or both of the Database & the Application Server (iAS or Weblogic) with E-Business Suite in case customizations have been carried out.
