Basic Questions about Oracle E-Business Suite

I am just now starting to learn about Oracle E-Business Suite.
I am an Oracle DBA, and I want to become an "Oracle Apps DBA".
The following questions pertain to the DATABASE side of E-Business:
*(1)* Is "Oracle E-Business Suite", and "Oracle Applications 11i" the
same product?
*(2)* Is Release 12, the current version of E-Business Suite?
*(3)* What is the Release of E-Business Suite that most Businesses are
currently using?
*(4)* I want to use 1GB of RAM, for the Laptop, that I want to install
E-Business Suite on, and it will be running under Oracle
Enterprise Linux -- Will this type of setup be OK for building a
personal training and learning environment (especially RAM size)?
*(5)* How much disk space do I need, just to do a basic install (no
demo databases)?

Hi,
*(1)* Is "Oracle E-Business Suite", and "Oracle Applications 11i" the
same product?Yes, it even includes R12.
*(2)* Is Release 12, the current version of E-Business Suite?Yes, the most recent versions of R12 are (12.1.1 and 12.1.2).
*(3)* What is the Release of E-Business Suite that most Businesses are
currently using?Depends, some customer still on 11i while other customer managed to upgrade to R12 (or did a fresh installation/implementation of R12).
*(4)* I want to use 1GB of RAM, for the Laptop, that I want to install
E-Business Suite on, and it will be running under Oracle
Enterprise Linux -- Will this type of setup be OK for building a
personal training and learning environment (especially RAM size)?1 GB RAM is not enough, I would suggest you have 4 GB RAM (or more if possible).
*(5)* How much disk space do I need, just to do a basic install (no
demo databases)?This is documented in the installation manual, please refer to it to get the hardware requirements.

Questions on Oracle E-Business Suite JAAS impl with ADF (Patch 8571001)

I am working at a customer site, where we are developing extensions to EBS R12 using ADF 11g. I have some questions around Oracle E-Business Suite JAAS implementation (Patch 8571001). The answers to these would help us choose the right path for the overall project.
1. How much integration is possible between ADF JAAS roles and the EBS User management roles? If we implement Oracle E-Business Suite JAAS implementation using this patch, how would the component/field level security work in ADF? Will ADF pages refer to roles in EBS UMX tables for field level security?
2. Is there any detailed documentation as to how to Oracle E-Business Suite JAAS implementation works. I have read the metalink note # 974949.1; however it does not provide enough details on UMX/EBS integration. Any pointers would be really helpful.
Thanks a lot.

VERY Basic Questions about Oracle eBusiness - what "languages" are used?

Please forgive the very basic nature of this post- (I have been in systems (IT) for over 20 years, so I do have lots of systems experience, but no exposure to this particular software.)
So here are the basic questions - I assume that much of the data base logic is written in PL/SQL, but what other tools / languages are the applications written in?
(Oracle Forms, Oracle Reports, Java, C, something else?)
With over 20 years and experience with a number of other packages, I can learn a great deal about an application by 1. Looking at the DB structures (charts), 2. looking into DB code (Packages, triggers, procedure, functions) and 3. Seeing the screen shots.
None of my customers have had Oracle eBusiness - that have had home grown applications or other COTS/packages.
can anyone suggest a place where an independent person can inexpensively get some exposure?
My sincere thanks for any answers/suggestions.

Basic questions about Oracle CEP

Hi there,
We are considering different alternatives for handling some business rules for our educational platform and I am not sure Oracle CEP would be a viable option (I have read a few things on the internet about it), let me elaborate:
We have users being trained on different devices/clients (Mobile, Websites, Offline training), all these clients are sending data to our LRS system (TinCan API). We have about 20 million new events every month (we call them Statements, according to TinCan API terminology).
We are looking for a solution where we could:
Handle up to 2.000 events per second (peak usage);
Be able to restore from disasters (is replaying all events the ONLY option? It would take ages to reply the last, say, 2 years of events);
The Derives we want to get come from different Detections, examples:
Has this particular user achieved a set of pre-defined goals (ordering does not matter )? --> So issue him BADGE A;
Has this particular user finished training 1 in the last 180 days and training 2 in the last 30 (now)? --> So issue him BADGE B;
Does that user already have BADGE A and BADGE B and have finished training 1? --> So issue him BADGE C;
Analyze only events which are now facts, in other words, events which are already in the DB, or that we can ensure will go to the DB, otherwise we can have fake BADGES;
Allow the business user (the one responsible for the educational platform) to create (with little to no IT assistance) new rules and publish them into production easily. Because we add new training every week and so, we need this to be reflect in the CEP platform. Also, we could change the rules for issuing BADGES for 2015, for example.
The architecture from 1 mile high is something like this:
Where should we “plug” Oracle CEP? Of course, the more decoupled, the better.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Cheers

Oracle Event Processing (OEP, formerly Oracle Complex Event Processing (CEP)) is a stand-alone server. It would go between your service bus (Tin Can) and the database. You might consider implementing the business rules engine with OEP. There was support added for that in OEP 12c.

Please help.. Application Express + Oracle E-Business Suite: Integrated application licensing question

Hi
We are in the process of developing a business application using application express that works more like an extension of Oracle E-Business Suite. Finding an aswer for following question is critical for our small business to move forward with this product development. Request your help please.
Background:
- Our application stored metadata and pl/sql programs in a custom scehema in Oracle E-Busiess Suite.
- We are using Glassfish to host the application express listener to publish/run our application at the moment (development/testing phase)
Our understanding and clarifications needed:
- Our potential client must have an Enterprise level licese on Oracle E-Business Suite in order to allow them to deploy/run our application (3rd party).
- If our potential clients host our application on Oracle HTTP server (from the same box as the Oracle EBS database) then they dont need additional license. Otherwise, they'll have to buy HTTP Server licenses as well?
- What is the best tool (economical and production level performances point of view) to host a 3rd party apex application? Glassfish, Http server, Java standalone?
Please help,
Kind regards
Ebby

Oracle E-Business Suite Certification on Linux x86-64

Hello all,
I have some questions about certification for Oracle E-Business Suite 11.5.10.2 on Linux x86-64.
I have two 64-bit servers and intend to do a split configuration.
From the certification (Certify/View Certifications by Product/E-Business Suite/E-Business Suite 11i and Earlier/Platform Selection: Database Tier Only) I understand the following:
I must have the Application Tier running on Linux-x86 and the Database Tier may be either on Linux-x86 or Linux-x86-64.
Is this correct?
Should I install RHES4 for 32bit on the Application Server and RHES4 for 64bit on de Database Server?
or
Should I install RHES4 for 64bit on both servers and install the 32bit Applications software on the Application Server?
How should I ask for the software I need? From the E-Delivery web site I don't have the 64bit option for Oracle E-Business Suite Release 11.5.10.2.
Is EBS allways for 32bit no matter the OS ?
Thank you very much.
Catalina.

I must have the Application Tier running on Linux-x86
and the Database Tier may be either on Linux-x86 or
Linux-x86-64.
Is this correct? Yes
Should I install RHES4 for 32bit on the Application
Server and RHES4 for 64bit on de Database Server?
or
Should I install RHES4 for 64bit on both servers and
install the 32bit Applications software on the
Application Server?
Re: Oracle Application 11.5.10.2 installation on Linux AMD 64
How should I ask for the software I need? From the
E-Delivery web site I don't have the 64bit option for
Oracle E-Business Suite Release 11.5.10.2.
Is EBS allways for 32bit no matter the OS ?It is always 32-bit but it could comes in 64-bit for the database part. You would find such a media for Solaris for example "Oracle® Applications 11i Release 10.2 for Solaris Operating System (SPARC 32-bit) with Solaris Operating System (SPARC 64-bit) Oracle® Database" but not for Linux Intel 64-bit.
Just get the media for Linux x86, install it, then consider having Oracle 10g 64-bit on the database tier.

Webservice deployment in Oracle e-Business Suite

Oracle e-Business Suite R12 contains Oracle AS 10.1.3.0.
My question is: Is it possible to deploy webservices build in JDeveloper to this application server version?
Iam not talking about BPEL, just a custom build webservice or a webservice generated by Jdeveloper based on an existing PL/SQL procedure.
The Rapid Install of Oracle e-Business Suite (R12) creates an Oracle AS 10.1.3.0 without a metadata repository. Do you need this for webservice deployment?
Regards,
Gertjan.

When the JRE was installed/configured on the workstations was the jar cache placed on a LAN drive instead of the local drive? We have experienced poor performance with both the JRE and Jinitiator when the Workstation Sysadmins configured the jar cache to be located on a LAN drive. Also is the size of the jar cache on the workstation sufficient to hold all of your required jar files. It could be downloading the jar files all the time.
Overall our performance with the JRE is comparible to the Jinitiator.
Sorry I have not experienced the problem that you are having with you pdf reports so I can't provide any comments on it.

Serverstats for Oracle E-Business Suite R12

Hi,
I am setting up some serverstat monitors for performance tests on Oracle E-Business Suite R12 application (for benchmarking and tuning). I have set up some monitors for measuring CPU and memory on the Webserver, Application server(both Oracle App server 10) and Database(Oracle 10g). Also I have set up monitors for the V$SYSSTAT & V$SESSTAT views for the database.
What other monitors should I set up for monitoring the E-business suite application.
Any advice from your experience would be very helpful.
Regards
CP

Hi,
You will just have to add the monitor profiles for linux in your OLT. You will need a user in your webserver who can run commands for iostat,vmstat,netstat, sar or whatever other monitors you want to set up. You can also set up virtual agent in Serverstats to run these commands individually using the user on webserver. If you have any more questions, you can post it here.
Please go through the Serverstats guide that comes with OATS installation to know more about setting up monitors.

Report won't print to the end of width in Oracle E-Business Suite

Hello all,
I desperately need help to setup Reports 6i layout. I created a report for a 8.3 x 11.69" and it seems fine when I print directly from Reports Developer but when I register it in Oracle E-Business Suite 11.5.10.2 it won't print to the end of page width. It always cut the print in about 3/4 of page width. I already setup the report as a text and pdf but still no success. Enlarge the width and height of the report won't help either. Anyone can suggest something to help? Thanks.

API for creating new User in Oracle E-Business Suite through BPEL

Hello,
I would like to use a BPEL process to create a new User in Oracle E-Business Suite. In the Integration Repository I was able to find an API called FND_USER_PKG/LOAD_ROW that creates/updates Application's User data. Is this the API I should be using? If so, I would like to better understand how to use this API.
I have created a simple BPEL process and added an Oracle Application Service, which uses this FND_USER_PKG/LOAD_ROW API. I set the following parameter before Invoking the Oracle Application Service: X_USER_NAME, X_ENCRYPTED_USER_PASSWORD and X_START_DATE. When I run the BPEL process I get the following error. I suspect that I am not passing all the required input parameters. Does anyone have any sample data I can use to get this API to load correctly? If I am using the wrong API, please let me know.
Please note, I have also posted this question to the SOA Suite and BPEL discussion forums...
Thank you kindly!
Christine

Hello and thank you for your response. I am new to using APIs so please excuse my inexperience... I am not sure how to run the API outside of BPEL... Is that something you could easily walk me through?
I have made the following changes in BPEL based on your recommendation: 1) Added Oracle Application Service and used the API, LDAP_WRAPPER_CREATE_USER, found in the Oracle Application Module Browser* under: Applications Technology (ATG_PF)> User Management (UMX)> User (FND_USER)> PLSQL> User (FND_USER_PKG)> LDAP_WRAPPER_CREATE_USER
2) Set the following parameter prior to Invoking the Oracle App Service: X_USER_NAME, X_UNENCRYPTED_PASSWORD,X_START_DATE, X_END_DATE, X_DESCRIPTION, X_EMAIL_ADDRESS, X_FAX, X_EXPIRE_PWD.
3) Deploy and run BPEL through BPEL Control.
I get the following {color:#ff0000}error on the Invoke{color}. {color:#339966}Do you see any issues with the values I am passing in the input{color}? Any idea why I am getting this error? Is there anything that I need to have configured for the API to work correctly, other than adding an Oracle Application Service in the BPEL?
Thank you for your time,
Christine

Haley Rules Engine - HaleyAuthority with respect to Oracle E Business Suite

I am currently exploring on Haley Rules Engine which is recently aquired by Oracle.
As per my investingation, i came to know that HaleyAuthority ruleEngine is available as plugin from the recent release of Siebel CRM 8.0 installation and onwards.
Here goes my questions
1) is this haleyAuthority rule engine available as third party tool? If so, How to integrate with Oracle E- Business Suite.
2) Like Siebel 8.0, Is this HaleyAuthority plugged in any latest version of our oracle E- Business Suite?
Please let me know your understanding and information on Haley Rules Engine with respect to Oracle E-Business Suite.
Thanks in Advance.

Praveen ,
May be late for you (but for others looking similar information)
haleyAuthority is different from Haley Determination Services (now Oracle Policy Automation)
OPA (Haley's Determination Services) are available as Web Service which you can invoke from E-Business Suite or Use Fusion Middleware (SOA Suite / BPEL) as layer between OPA and E-Business Suite
For overview of Haley Office Rules or Oracle Policy Automation check

How to disable direct forms access in Oracle E-Business Suite R12.1.3

@Hussein Sawwan
Hi Hussein,
I don't know if I have well formulated the title of this discussion. But I will try to explain.
I have a problem on my TEST Oracle E-Business Suite R12.1.3 instance. After login into the homepage, some forms automatically start opening. I don't know why, last week the system was working fine. This TEST instance is used by users to train themselves.
How can I make sure that the forms are opening only when someone clicks on them? I don't want the forms to be popping out automatically after someone logs in.
Thanks in advance.
