Adding Oracle Application users to business area

Can someone tell me how can I add ALL Oracle Application Users to a Business Area in Oracle APPS R12
I am using an Application Mode EUL

There's lots of good info on this forum about this topic but in a nutshell ...
You could identify the user from within Discoverer and then filter on that but by far the easiest method is to use what Oracle BIS views use, NoetixViews views use, etc. and that's to put the code in a database view that filter the row information back depending on the responsibility running it.
The hardest thing to understand is that you code the SQL in the database view and then if you tried to look at the results with a tool like TOAD, you'll get no data. People think that it's not working because no data came back but really it's good as it's working, because if you then used that same view in Discoverer with the correct responsibility, you'd see the data.
So, exactly what you want is what happens in that the same report is run by 2 different responsibilities (Houston HR manager or New York HR manager) but the data returned will be only what they're allowed to see as defined by Oracle Apps.
Search on this forum for more - or to get a heads up, look at some of the Oracle BIS HR or GL views to see what I mean. If you haven't generated the BIS views then you can see 'ungenerated ones' as well in the Apps schema, views, and they'll follow a naming convention starting with: glfv_blah. You'll see glfv ..., glfb ..., glfg ....
The good ones are glfg ... as they've been generated but again, if you look at a glfv or hrfv look at the SQL at near the end see how they're determining the user, his org, etc.
Ths should keep you happily busy over Xmas!

Hey everyone in Apple world!
I figured out how to fix the flashing yellow screen problem that I've been having on my MBP! Yessssss!!!
I found this super handy website with the golden answer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
I followed the instructions on this page and here's what I did:
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
I went through the 6 steps above twice, just to make sure I got rid of whatever stuff was holding up my bootup process. Since I did that, my MBP boots up just like normal. No flashing yellow screen anymore!!
(Note that I arrived at this solution when I first saw this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US)
Let me know if this works for you!

How to authenticate oracle application user from third party application -

Hi All!
I am using OC4J as a J2EE container with an Oracle Applications setup (11.5.10, LINUX version). This is for an application which gets called from Oracle Applications. We need the user, responsibility and session information of Oracle applications to be passed on to our application which is running on a different port in OC4J. We are unable to get the information when we call our application from a menu option in Oracle Applications.
Various papers have been mentioning mod_oc4j.so module, which we are unable to find in our Oracle Applications setup.
Any help as to
(1) where we can download and install mod_oc4j.so from and
(2) passing the above mentioned information to our application running on the OC4J port will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Narasimha Rao M L V

Hi,
thanks for your reply, but i don't wanna see that user in my list then what should i do??? This is not possible, you cannot delete the user from the application.
if i set end for that user in that form then anyway the user will be there and visible....am i right??? please correct me if i am wrong...Correct.
is it so that when the end date is passed, the user will be deleted from list which is shown in user management form??No, you will still see the user in the form/table.

Hussein

Oracle Learning Management (OLM) Business Area

Morning All,
Does anyone know if there is a standard Learning Management business area or is the case, as I suspect, that only Training Administration is available in the standard EUL and the OLM business area will be part of an Intelligence package. (Call me cynical!)
Thanks
Emily

Difference between End User Layer & Business Area

Hi
Can you give me some input on the below
1. End User Layer Vs Business Area
2. Page Detail Table Vs Page Detail Cross tab
3. Can i create a Business Area with the help of a query... if so what is the advantage over the View .
Regards
Yram

Hi Yram,
1. EUL is a group of Business Area's.
2. those are two different kind of tables (like table vs. crosstab) with page items.
you can add the page items after you create the table as well (sheet-> edit
sheet)
3. you can create a folder out of sql (custom folder). you can't create the whole
Business Area out of the sql.
I don't think there is a advantage over view, I prefer views over custom folders,
I use the custom folder mostly for simple sql's such as List Of Values.

Warning message should be raised when user changes Business Area in MIRO.

Hello all,
My requirement is,
When in MIRO transaction, in details tab the BA (Business Area) comes from PO line items. When user changes this Business Area to some other value then the system should raise a warning message and continue with the transaction. It happens in MRHR transaction in 4.6. Now we are on ECC6.0 and user wants this functionality.
So is there any configuration to be done or so I need to write User Exit?
Please explain in details like where to make these config settings and all.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Harshal,
Make use of EXIT_SAPLMRMP_010 in Enchancement LMR1M001 User exits in Logistics Invoice Verification.
Raise your warning message by validating GSBER present in structure in exit's FM : EXIT_SAPLMRMP_010
hope this helps.

Adding Oracle Application Server to JDeveloper

Hii,
I want to add Oracle Application Server 10.1.2g to my Application Server list in JDeveloper 10.1.3g.
I am stuck in the point where it asks for the "Remote Server's Oracle Home Directory".
Whenever I supply with the path e.g. "D:\OraHome_1", or "\\node1\OraHome_1", it says "Invalid Directory".
The Oracle Application Server is installed in a different computer in the network.
Actually, I would like to add it to my JDeveloper, so that, I can deploy my applications directly through JDeveloper, without having to use the Oracle application Server Enterprise Manager console.
Please help...

Log into Oracle Application Server Enterprise Manager and get the correct path from the information of the instance you're intending deploying to (eg. home). You have write the directory path as it is displayed (even UPPER and lower case is important).

Drilldown depending on the oracle application user's securing attributes

Hi all,
I created a html table and I have a specific column that is allowed to drilldown to details but I would like also make this drilldown be depended on the user's securing attributes. If the person has permission the he will see the value and can enter in details, but if he doesnt have the permission he just see the value.
Any ideas?!?!
Thanks in advanced,
Adolfho

Hi Adolfho,
you could try binding the Read Only attribute of this item/region through SPEL. For example, if you have a profile and need to give permission only to users that have the "Y" value on this profile, you can add this to the select clause of your VO:
SELECT fnd_profile.value("profile_name") = 'Y' AS PROF_VALUE
and then you can put the following expression on the Read only attribute of the region:
${!ProfValue}
You can also do this on the controller by getting a reference to the respective OA Bean and calling setReadOnly(boolean) or setAttribute(READ_ONLY_ATTR, Object)...
Hope it helps

Customised Oracle application and access to roles and users...please advise

Hi Gurus!
We are developing a customised Oracle application where we have users and roles...user - role mapping is done in the system administration module of the application.
Now, we are also developing Oracle discoverer reports based on this. Using 10g (10.1.2.0.2) for that.
When I am creating an EUL, I select 'New EUL for Oracle Applications users only' option, but, I do not have any 'FND schema' to specify. That's where I'm stuck up!
I want to give access to the 'roles' in tha same manner as I would give to the 'responsibilities' in Oracle Apps. But, I don't know how to do it here.
Can someone guide me on this?
Thanks and regards,
Aparna

Hi Aparna
It would appear that you posted the same question on the Discoverer forum. Here is the answer that I posted there:
If your application is not E-Business Suite you cannot install Discoverer into Apps mode. This mode is reserved for applications which are E-Business Suite, which basically tells Discoverer to use authenticate users using the FND tables owned by the APPLSYS user.
In your case, even though you appear to be using Oracle applications, because you want to take advantage of your roles you will have to install Discoverer into standard mode. As you are creating your EUL you need to uncheck the box which says grant access to PUBLIC and make this a private EUL. Then you will not have the headache of worrying about setting up new users. You simply manage what a role can do (Tools | Privileges) and what a role has access to (Tools | Security).
Now, when any any user connects to Discoverer their role will be evaluated and access will be restricted.
You can do the same thing using a PUBLIC EUL, except you need to reduce what that user can do (Tools | Privileges) to an absolute minimum, and then take control of this using roles. For example, you could have a set of functional roles, one each for say AP, AR, GL and so on, but you could further break this down by privilege, thus you could have roles called AP Viewer, AP User, AR Viewer, AR User and so on. The User roles would have full access while the Viewer roles would have a much reduced set of privileges.
You are basically setting up the Library approach that I discuss in my Discoverer 10g Handbook and in my white paper which you will find on my downloads page here: http://learndiscoverer.com/downloads/downloads.htm.
I hope this helps

Business Publisher in Oracle Application Server

Hi
I am attempting to deploy BPA Business Publisher (10.1.3.4) to an Oracle 10.1.3.4 Application Server and I have very little in the way of instruction or documentation as to how to undertake this task.
The BPA installation and Administration guides state that using an Oracle Application Server is a supported configuration for the Business Publisher with little or no further information on how to achieve this!
I have managed to deployed and configure, to the best of my current knowledge, the businesspublisher.war along with its required data sources, DAO changes, etc.
I can access the Business Publisher web interface and his shows that no exports currently exist.
I have attempt to add the new Oracle Application Server based Business Publisher Server to my Business Publisher Architect (i.e. but it keeps failing to connect and BPA hangs until I force it to end!)
I can see that the BPA Repository host is establishing a connection with the Business Publisher host on port 17059 (the default port) but nothing else happens.
[oracle@***]$ netstat -a | grep 17059
tcp 0 0 *:17059 *:* LISTEN
tcp 111 0 host.domain:17059 host.domain.:2519 ESTABLISHED
I have undertaken a number of successful installation, deployments and exports from BPA to Business Publisher utilising TomCat on Windows, Linux and SUN but have now been completely stopped on how to undertake this on Oracle Application Server.
Can any one point me in the direction of any documentation or information on how to achieve this task?
John

Hi Joseph
Many thanks for the info.
I had raised an SR in Metalink as well as requesting info here and Metalink gave me a ftp link to the document.
This solved my problems as I needed to undertake the extra configurations in opmn.xml, webappserver.cfg and add a .jar file (these are not shown anywhere in the standard BPA admin or install guides!!)
Once all these done it works like a dream and users state it is faster then a Tom Cat based deployment.
Cheers
John

Hi Yram
Great explanation and good posting with lots of useful information.
You need to administer and log in to Apps as an Apps user. You use a database user only for the purposes of creating the EUL. It would take a long time to explain all of the steps here. However, I have an illustrated white paper on my downloads page that explains setting up an EUL in Apps mode.
At first glance though it sounds like you may not have defined a Gateway UserID and Foundation Name inside Discoverer Administrator. You do this using Tools | Options | Connection. The Gateway UserID and Password is usually applsyspub/pub, while the Foundation Name is apps. The entries are usually in lowercase.
My downloads page can be found at: http://learndiscoverer.com/downloads/downloads.htm and the document is called Setting up an Apps mode EUL.
Let me know how you get on.
Best wishes

Cannot log in as an application user on Discoverer Desktop

Hi
I have Discoverer Desktop 4.1.37.00.0 on a laptop. When I try to log in as an application user, when in connect field I enter database name, I get the following error message:
ORA-12154:TNS:could not resolve service name
When instead of databse name I input connect string in tnsnames.ora file, I get another error message:
Unable to connect to Oracle Application Database:Invalid username/password
Please note that the checkbox 'oracle application user' is enabled while attempting to log in.
Secondly, in my Administration Edition in Tools>options>connections
the following settings have been done:
Connect to both standard and applications EULs
Gateway User Id (GWYUID)/Password : APPLSYSPUB/PUB
FNDNAM : APPS
Similar seetings have been done for the desktop.
Also note that I cannot even log in as a database user. The error message I receive is
'You do not have access to any End User Tables.'
The database user name I'm using to log in is the one who has created EUL(apps mode) and owns business areas in that EUL.
Can someone please guide me on this problem?
Regards,
Aparna

Hi
The solution to my problem was exactly the same: I needed to apply the patch 3201601.
This patch is available on http://metalink.oracle.com
While installing the version 4.1.48.06.00 on my laptop, as I have XP, I came across some DLL errors.
For this refer to the note 297750.1, DLL Copy Errors when Trying to Patch Discoverer Administrator/Desktop 4.1
The note is also available on the metalink.

Aparna
