9.0.2 OID Integration Questions

Hi,
I have 9.0.2 running with 9iAS V2 fine.
I need to understand exactly how IFS integrates with OID, Specifically :
1) If I create an account in OID - how do I "enable" this as a valid login on IFS?
2) If I create an account in OID - how can I set their ACL or group is this only permitted in IFS?
Great to have some help on this.
Thanks

Hi
Can I suggest that you start by going to http://portalcenter.oracle.com/upgrades where you will find many documents to support the various upgrade paths. Find the Portal Upgrade Guide for your path.
In the Portal Upgrade Guide you will find a section about migrating SSO data to your new infrastructure. It involves downloading and applying patch 2995671. You will have to read the instructions (readme) for the patch but basically it comes down to running two commands.
ssomig -export ....
ssomig -import ....
These commands will extract the data from a 309 SSO schema and import it into your OID.

OID Integration Question

Hi,
I have added a new Security Realm for OID Authentication. I've entered all of the parameters and can now see OID users in the Users and Groups tab.
However, when I reorder the providers and make the OID authentication first, I am unable to start up WebLogic again.
I keep reading that I have to create an OID user or group, and add that user or group to the Administrators group in WebLogic. But I cannot figure out how to do this.
I must be going about it the wrong way. I don't understand how.
Can somebody provide step-by-step instructions on this portion? Where can I map an OID group to the DefaultAuthenticator's Administrators group?
Thanks much,
Nora

What is the control flag of the OID Authenticator?
You can modify the admin role by adding the OID User in it.
This can be done from the console.
Thanks,
Faisal

Monitoring status of OID Integration Server

Does anyone know anything about the best practices of monitoring the status of OID integration server. I'm writing a small plugin for Nagios and I was hoping to be able to pull a single attribute out of LDAP that tells me the status of Integration server. We have it running against iPlanet, and we need to make sure it's always in sync (and when it's not, notification is sent.)
Is this what the attribute orclodipinstancestatus does? Anyone have any info on the possible values of this (I presume 1 means everything is OK, although this may be the wrong attribute.)
I could just look at the odi/log/AGENTNAME.trc file, but if OID Manager can see the status (sync success or failure) I'm pretty sure it's some value in ldap... somewhere...

I'll answer my own question... I believe this should do the trick.
Using ldapsearch:
ldapsearch -h localhost -D "<SOME ADMIN USER>" -w <PASSWORD> -b "orclodipagentname=<AGENT NAME>, cn=subscriber profile,cn=changelog subscriber,cn=oracle internet directory" -s sub "objectclass=*"
A nice text attribute:
orclodipsynchronizationstatus=Synchronization Successful
reveals the status.

BIP Advanced install (AS 10.1.3) for SSO/OID integration

Hi all,
We need to install BIP on 10.1.3.1 or later middle tier to take advantage of SSO/OID integration with parter applications(Oracle Forms in our case).
We already have Oracle Forms and SSO middle tiers in place(not 10.1.3 but lower)... so my question is which 10.1.3 TOPOLOGY(middle tier) as described on Oracle SOA Suite 10g (10.1.3.1.0) installation guide, would give us the required 10.1.3 technology to do an advance install of BI Publisher as described in chapter 1 and 2 of [BIP 10.1.3.4 Installation Guide|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12844_01/doc/bip.1013/e12690.pdf] ?
In another word... what technology portions of a 10gR3 are REQUIRED to allow us to install and associate BIP 10.1.3.4 on that middle tier and associate it with EXISTING OID/SSO and Forms middle tiers as parter applications?
I just like to install "the smallest" 10.1.3 middle tier we need for this purpose. I am just not sure which 10.1.3 topology would give us all that BIP needs. I am hoping it's either "a standalone OC4J instance" or "an integrated Web Server and OC4J Middle Tier". These both are outlined on page 15 of OAS 10g R3(10.1.3.1.0) for [AS10gR3 10.1.3.1.0 Windows Installation Guide|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31017_01/win.1013/install/topo.htm#CHDFCAAB].
Your thoughts/previous experinces are much appreciated.

Hi Yahya,
You can install the BI Publisher Stanadalone on the exisiting oracle application server 10.1.3.1.0 installation. To do so while running the installation of BI Publisher opt for advanced installation and on prompting enter the OAS installation directory. That will get your BI Pub up n running.
Now for the other part of integrating the same with SSO do the following:
1) Register BI publisher as a partner application in the Oracle SSO admin console which will generate a single sign-off url.
2) Make the required modifications in the mod_osso.xml config file (refer to http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B40078_02/doc/bi.1013/b40017/T421739T475591.htm#T434806).
3) On the BI publisher admin page go to the securities tab and opt the SSO security and enter the single sign-off url generated in the previous step.
4) Restart the Oracle ID mgt infrastructure and the BI pub server.
Hope this information is of some help.
Thanks,
Vish

OVD and OID integration

Hi all,
How to do OVD-OID integration?
Version 11.1.1.5.0.
I am not clear in the steps Which is mentioned in the Oracle Document. Please anybody give the steps.I will follow that one.
- Deena.

I would assume you are talking about creating virtual views in OVD for OID
You will have to create a LDAP adapter in OVD. Please see the OVD documentation for the same http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E15586_01/oid.1111/e10046/basic_adapters.htm#CHDJFEJG

Process Integrator question?

Hi,
I'm not sure where to ask a Process Integrator question so I have
decided to ask here. I have been asked to look at business
process (workflow) automation. I have read the datasheet and your
whitepaper on Process Integrator and my question at the moment
is "How do we integrate Process Integrator with existing sets of
EJB's? How does it tie together with WebLogic 5.1 (is it a bunch
of EJB's deployed on top of the app server ala Commerce Server)?
I'm looking for more technical answers so that I have a reasonable
understanding in estimating how much work/effort it would take
to use this product. I also know that this is your engine for your
future Collaborate product, however, that product will not be
available soon enough to tackle our customers current needs.
Thanks for your patience in reading this long message and
I would appreciate any answers including "forget about it until
Collaborate goes to market!". I would like to give an honest
technical reason to my manager about why we should
consider (or not consider) using Process Integrator.
Thanks again!

OID Installation Questions pertaining to integration with EBS 11.5.10.2

Our Environment is E-Business Suite 11.5.10.2 and we want to investigate/view OID/SSO in action. Ultimately, we'll attempt to use Microsoft Active Directory as the source (of truth). I had performed OID/SSO integration with EBS about 3 years ago and remember the "overall" scheme, but Oracle's documentation/downloads page has left me thoroughly confused, hence, I am asking those that have been through the process .... THANKS IN ADVANCE
(1) Do I need to install the base AS 10g Infrastructure and Metadata Repository via 10.1.2.0.2 installation or can I go directly to installing OID 10.1.4.0.1 ??
Here is what I believe the steps to be, PLEASE, correct me if I am wrong ...
(1) Install 10.1.2.0.2 Application Server Infrastructure by selecting "Infrastructure and Metadata Repository"
(2) Install 10.1.4.0.1 and select to upgrade an existing 10.1.2.0.2 installation. Once 10.1.4.0.1 has upgraded everything, including the database to 10.1.0.5, I assume that I can simply remove 10.1.2.0.2 through the Oracle Installer. Is this correct ??
(3) Once upgrade to 10.1.4.0.1, I believe that I need to download a Metadata Upgrade Assistant patch, (mrua), and run mrua,sh to upgrade MR to 10.1.4.0.1 which will be apparent by querying app_registry view.
(4) Upgrade 10.1.4.0.1 to 10.1.4.3
The documentation is confusing and hard to find for me. Do these steps seem to accomplish the tasks or am I missing something ??
THANKS IN ADVANCE

I didn't do the install myself but we went straight to installing 10.1.4 Identity Manangement, although I believe that Infrastructure components which underly it are essentially the same as 10.1.2. As far as I know you can't use 10.1.3 because it lacks those infrastucture components.

OAM SSO integration question:How can I get a user identity from ObSSOCookie

We are building an OAM SSO solution. The App server is both on OAS and WLS. My question is that, after I get the ObSSOCookie from httprequest.
I need to verify whether the ObSSOCookie is a valid one, and I also need to get user identity from the cookie and pass it to login module to populate user principal
Of course, one way of doing that is to install access manager SDK and go from there. But we support multiple OS, it's a pain to add Access manager SDK to different installer for different OS.
I am trying to use IdentityXML Functions which is a SOAP based webservice so that I don't need to worry about the OS platform. But I can't find a webService which returns user identity based on a valid ObSSOCookie. It seems that I can invoke webService with valide ObSSOCookie, but there is no way to get the user identity back. Am I missing something?
Hope someone can help me out.
Thanks.
-Wei

Ok. Sounds like you are a vendor trying to play well in an SSO environment.
Here is what I tell OAM customers when they are evaluating software to see if it will cooperate with a system like OAM.
Can the software's native authentication scheme be explicitly turned off (usually a configuration in a file)?
Can the software be configured to accept a token of identity in the form of a Cookie or HeaderVar (also configurable in a file)?
If the answer to both is yes, then the system is capable of 'third party trust' for authentication.
From your perspective, your logic for login should be something like:
Is my native authN turned off?
If yes, can I find the cookie or header that I should be looking for?
If yes, take the value and proceed to create user session for this identity per usual (except that you never evaluated the authN - you trust that it was done).
If no, present the native AuthN scheme anyway.
If you follow this pattern, you are in the good company of folks like PeopleSoft and Plumtree who had these types of integrations working long ago.
Yes, there are other ways to do this but, in my humble opinion, this remains the most stable and effective pattern we see.
What you ask for as the identity token value is up to you. It is often the login ID value that you would have used in your own authN procedure. There's nothing particularly sensitive about having a webgate set headers - they are only available to the server and not to the client. Cookie of course could be seen but can't be spoofed as the webgate has the final word on it's content.

ECC 5.0 and CRM 7.0 Integration Questions

Hello,
We are on ECC 5.0 and are part of a global implementation that is putting in CRM 7.0.
We have a couple of issues/questions.
1. We want to integrate ECC Internal Orders with CRM Contracts and Orders. However we don't see the ECC Internal Order type SAPS in ECC 5.0. What release/plugin would give us SAPS Internal order type
2. We currently use CS and PM in ECC, and we have equipment and func. locations. Do we need to be on a certain version/plugin to integrate Equipment and Func. Locations with CRM iBase?
3. Any tips/suggestions on integrating Vertex with CRM for taxes.
Thanks
chris

Hi
Here are the Answers
1. We want to integrate ECC Internal Orders with CRM Contracts and Orders. However we don't see the ECC Internal Order type SAPS in ECC 5.0. What release/plugin would give us SAPS Internal order type
- This is release indepedant- It is been available from R/3 4.7 so you should have it, if you dont have an SAPS order type, you have 2 options
1. Create your own SAPS Order type
2. Define RFC from Client "000" and push the order type. This must be available in "000" as a standard delivery, may be your Basis did not move the order types properly.
2. We currently use CS and PM in ECC, and we have equipment and func. locations. Do we need to be on a certain version/plugin to integrate Equipment and Func. Locations with CRM iBase?
Yes you can have the equipment and Functional Locations, but for FLocs to download to CRM you need ECC6.0 with Sp6 anything below cannot be integrated or downloaded with CRM7.0 .. for Equipments any versions are fine and you do all configuration and customization in CRM
3. Any tips/suggestions on integrating Vertex with CRM for taxes.
Its a broad question, SAP provides standard integration option to vertex, and you integrate as needed..
let me know if you need anything else.

IPhoto/Aperture 1.5 Integration questions

Aperture 1.5 allows you to keep iPhoto pictures where they are with a "reference" from Aperture.
But since I upgraded to Aperture 1.5, I have the opposite problem -- how do I keep my pictures in Aperture but have iPhoto reference them? With previous versions of Aperture I already copied in all my iPhoto pictures and subsequently got rid of my iPhoto library (to save space).
However, I would like to use iPhoto for its better Slideshow capabilities and FrontRow integration.
So here are some questions:
[1] Should I just set preference in iPhoto to not "Copy files to iPhoto Library Folder" and import the entire Aperture library?
[2] Will it copy the albums from Aperture intact?
[3] How much additional disk space (if any) will this use up?
[4] What is the signifcance of setting up previews in Aperture (which I have done)?
[5] In iPhoto I see that there is File>Show Aperture Library... where I can see thumbnails of my Aperture pictures. What else is this used for? (i.e. can I import pictures using this feature?)
[6] If, subsequent to import, I add to the Aperture libary, will that automatically synchronize with the iPhoto library, or do I have to iPhoto-import the entire Aperture library every time new photos are added to the Aperture library?
iMac 17 1.25 GHz; iMac 20 Intel Mac OS X (10.4.7)

[1] Should I just set preference in iPhoto to
not "Copy files to iPhoto Library Folder" and
import the entire Aperture library?
[2] Will it copy the albums from Aperture intact?
This will work if your Aperture library's masters are stored by reference. However, it will only copy the masters, not an album structure. It won't copy your adjustments either. Just the masters.
[3] How much additional disk space (if any) will this
use up?
iPhoto will build JPEGs for each master image, so you will use some disk space.
[4] What is the signifcance of setting up previews in
Aperture (which I have done)?
Previews will allow you to browse your Aperture library in iPhoto. You can decide what images are made available to iPhoto. These are the versions, not the masters, so adjustments made in Aperture will be seen by iPhoto (as opposed to importing the masters).
[5] In iPhoto I see that there is File>Show Aperture
Library... where I can see thumbnails of my Aperture
pictures. What else is this used for? (i.e. can I
import pictures using this feature?)
You can drag images from that window into iPhoto, which will import the JPEG previews so you can use them in slideshows, etc.
[6] If, subsequent to import, I add to the Aperture
libary, will that automatically synchronize with the
iPhoto library, or do I have to iPhoto-import the
entire Aperture library every time new photos are
added to the Aperture library?
There isn't any automatic synchronization, but I think the following is a good approach:
1) When importing your masters into Aperture, don't have Aperture copy them from the CF card into the library. Instead give it a folder to copy them to. In addition, specify a sub folder that is "Project Name". By doing that, your import will be separate from other imports.
2) Make sure iPhoto is set to reference images not copy them into the library.
3) Then, when you want to synchronize with iPhoto, just drag the directories containing the projects that you want synchronized directly to iPhoto.

OID Licensing Question (with ODS EE)

Hello. I am currently using OID (11.1.1.6) for my naming service (instead of tnsnames). According to Oracle you are granted a restricted-use license for using OID "... if users use the Directory Naming feature to configure Oracle Net Services." Since this is what I am doing, I I am under the impression that I do not have to license Oracle on the server with OID as long as it is the only thing on that server (which it is).
My company is looking at purchasing "Employee" Oracle Directory Services Enterprise Edition licenses (environment is all Oracle DB Enterpirse Edition, 10gR2 and 11gR2) so that we can setup chaining between OID and Microsoft AD so that user roles/permissions can be assigned through AD via AD groups.
My question is: since I will no longer be using OID strictly for connection resolution, and even though we will purchase ODS EE, will I be forced to license my server that is only running OID? I would think that this wouldn't be the case, but I always prefer to know ahead of time when it comes to Oracle and licensing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
DC

Hi Saad;
I belive you can get the bestest answer from oracle support only. By the way you can also og a SR and confirm your issue wiht oracle support too.

Recreate Default OID Integration Profiles

Attempting to setup OID-AD synchronization. Configured import process using the GUI, but wanted to redo using AD "user" specifc to LDAP lookups/writes. So, deleted Configuration Set1 under "Integration Profile Configuration."
Now, can't recreate with the new AD LDAP user because "default profiles are missing."
Hoping that there's a sh script/easy solution.

Integration questions, Notes/Domino/Symphony, Intentia Movex, Oracle Formula

All,
A potential Portal customer wants to integrate several systems
into Portal, to show content and enter data. The systems in
question are Notes/Domino/Symphony, Intentia Movex, Oracle
Formula (and some others).
So far, I know about the Notes portlet in the PDK. I also see
that it is possible to access Domino via Java API's or HTTP, and
IBM's "Lotus Enterprise Integrator" and "Lotus Connector for
Oracle" could be used on the IBM side. On the Oracle side, I
know about 9iAS interconnect, which could be used as the basis
for the integration projects in question.
Any hints? Reusable solutions for the listed systems?
Thanks,
Erik Hagen

Data Integrator Questions

Hello,
I was hoping for some guidence on how i can access sap data without using a BW system. The Data Integrator and RapidMarts seemed to be the main option. Just wondered if this was a suitable appraoch for my scenario.
Im the UK, our clients sap infrastructure is based in Germany. We do all our development on that system and it holds all our custom tables which i need to report from.
I initially installed the SAP Integration Tools for Crystal. I can build a report and dircetly see Tables and Function Modules, but the speed is really bad and prone to crashing.
My new plan is to install Data Integrator on our Network. Then use that to pull all the tables and data we need into a RapidMart on our network. Then i can use our BO XI 3.1 edge installation to host all the reports / dashboards built off the mart.
Is this a reasonable approach, am i missing anything or is this all theoretically possible??
Any advice is great appreciated.
Carston.

One at the time....
A RapidMart is nothing else than a jump-start. Imagine this: I have been asked to build a Data Warehouse for Cost Center Accounting. So I have asked:
"What kind of reports?" "Costs per CostCenter, CostElement, Period".
"Where does the data come from?" "This and that SAP table"
"How can I implement the delta logic" "Using this approach...."
"Are you fine with this Data Model to support your reports?"
"Are you okay with the Naming Conventions I invented?"
At the end I had a very good working Data Warehouse project for my customer. Then I got another Customer engagement where I again had to build a Cost Center Accounting Data Warehouse. Same questions, very similar answers. But instead of developing the data model, the ETL flow,.... all from scratch, I would have reused the previous code.
In other words, a Rapid Mart is us running through a very professional Data Warehouse project with a couple of customers simultaniously and then we provide the code to you. So you are trading investment costs against Consulting costs and time and uncertainty. You might not like the Data Model, feel free to modify it. You need more, its just a first version of your Data Warehouse. You can't use 90% of wha we did - don't by the RapidMart but take your time to implement the Data Warehouse yourself.
