Creating Users for Oracle DB residing in xMII server

Hi,
We are on xMII 12.0.3 Build(107). We have the Oracle 10g database residing in the xMII server. Now, in order to create users to access the DB, do we have to create in SAP front or externally create users on oracle front?
Thanks in advance,

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

Hello,
I would like to use a BPEL process to create a new User in Oracle EBS. In the {color:#0000ff}Integration Repository {color}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. What are the required input parameter?
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.
Thank you kindly!

Limit for creating users in oracle 9i/10g database

what is limit of users to be created to connect to the database?
is there any limit?
my database size is 10gb.

It depends on what type of license you have
Processor perpetual or Named user license....
If it processor perpetual then it is unlimited and if it named user then you can create users based on How many user licens you have purchased

Creating user in oracle through JDBC

I m trying to create a user in oracle through jdbc. When I m creating user through SQL plus I m able to do it successfully but when I m doing it through java code I can see that user�s entry in dba_users & dba_role_privs tables.But when I am trying to drop that user I get message �User doesn�t exist�. Also when I am trying to logged in through the newly created user (one that I have created through code)in SQL Plus , I get error �ORA-01017: invalid username/password ; logon denied�.If user doesn�t exist then how can I see it�s entry in dba_users & dba_role_privs?? One more thing �. I can drop that user through code but not using SQL Plus.
This is the code�.In this code I have logged in using system-manager & I m trying to create user test88 with password test88.I am granting 3 roles to this user Connect , Resource & DBA same as Scott �Tiger. Please help.

I read that by default, JDBC uses an operation mode called auto-commit. This means that every update to the database is immediately made permanent.Still for this program I have tried connection.commit() also , Still it is not working.
I think that problem is not with commit otherwise I shouldn't be able to see that newly created user entry in these tables from Sql Plus:-
1)DBA_ROLE_PRIVS
2) DBA_USERS
3) DBA_sys_privs
Ya but these is no entry in DBA_OBJECTS table for this user.

Create users in Oracle for exchange server

Hi everyone!
I would like to know if Oracle Communications Messaging Exchange Server works just like Exchange Server.
How can the users I create in Oracle be used in Exchange server instead of users being created again in Exchange Server?
Hope to get some enlightenment on this issue.
Thanks.

If publishing to a .Mac space, you can password
protect the site, and blog.
It'll still only allow for comments, rather than
allowing users to create new blog entries, but at
leat you'll know it's by one of those you have
allowed in.
I expected something like that to be honest with you, the whole point is to have the website open and at the same time use several users to work on it, apparently it is not possible, I will send a new form to request an improvement on iWeb for that.
Thanks very much for your answer

Error While creating User using userservcenter Webservice

Hi All,
I have generated the java client stub from the um_workflowSaveCreateProfile.wsdl file successfully and I have developed one client code to call the web service to create user in Oracle Internet Directory.

Hi,
I guess, create workflow does not accept the password attribute while creating user account.
You have to create the account using createprofile web service then update the password using changeprofile web service.
I think this limitation is strategic, if you have password policies enabled, policies are applied to the container of the accounts.
So OAM needs to have the DN of the user account to check if there are any password policies associated with the container during password updates,
which might not be possible while using createProfile web service.

Creating users with supplier, buyer, job code info.

I am writing a java app to create users in oracle apps.I am using apps api package fnd_user_pkg to create users,update users,add responsibilities.
I need to add some extra attributes e.g. supplier, buyer, planner, job code info while creating a user.Is there any api package like fnd_user_pkg which can be used to update tables with above info? or should i update the tables directly?

Thanks for the reply. I was actually hoping the I-Chain/EDirectory variables would be available as CGI variables. Here are some of the CGI variables I tried to retrieve from the header. As you can see, only two contained values. There must be some other way to obtain these. I'd played around with CFLDAP, CFHTTP, etc. No such luck. But as mentioned, the IS dept says the values I'm looking for (UserID, Name, Location, etc.) are all being sent in every header (every response from the server). Am just not sure which CF tags/tools to use to capture them. Maybe it requires some special script. I tried a few of those found in the CF7 on-line help, but no luck in getting the scripts to run. If any other thoughts or suggestions, they would be much appreciated. Thanks again, Gary1.

Many things, even basic things like creating users, are done differently in 12c. In 12c there are common users and local users. You need to know and understand the difference. My 'guess' is that you are trying to create that user and getting an exception because you are trying to create that user in the root CDB and you can ONLY create common users in the root. And SCOTT can not possibly be a common user because common users are defined differently.
You also need to read and understand chapters 17 and 18 of the Concepts doc about the new multitenant architecture of 12c.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E16655_01/server.121/e17633/part_consol.htm#CHDGDBHJ
See the sections in those chapters about common and local users.
Then read my last reply in this thread:
Re: 12c: ORA-65049: creation of local user or role is not allowed in CDB$ROOT
There are TWO MORE issues you may have had or may have.
1. The SCOTT user already exists if you created the example database as part of the installation. But that sample DB (and the SCOTT/HR and other users) are in a PDB and NOT in the root/CDB.
2. By default the root/CDB is the ONLY database affected by the STARTUP command. So if you start a multitenant database that has one or more PDBs (e.g. PDBORCL installed as the example DB) those PDBs will NOT be open or accessible until you MANUALLY open them.
Alternatively you can create an AFTER STARTUP trigger that opens PDBs for you as part of the startup process.
Lastly you should NOT alter the SYSTEM tablespace or schema or use them for your own objects.
There are several other threads in this forum where I discuss other issues new 12c users are likely to run into. Search for rp0428.

1)lite create user and app subscription 2)selective sych from server

Hello,
1)i need to create a stand alone desktop application that creates users in oracle lite and that grants them access to a particular application, and then in the data subsetting to be able to enter the
parameter values. in the documentation ive only found the create user. are there any other sql commands that can perform the other operations or do i need to go manually and update all the tables in the schema of the administrator like for example tables USERS,C$ALL_CLIENTS, C$ALL_SUBSCRIPTION_PARAM etc?
the problem is that the create user , doesnt create an oracle lite user but a database user . i have oracle lite 10.3.0.2.0 with oracle db 11g at the back as the repository.
2)iif we go to mobile manager->We select mobile devices
and then we select our mobile device (our handheld for instace) from the list. We then select the commands tab. From the list we can see the
“Sychronize databases” option which allows us to perform a sychronization with this particular device that is initiated from the server and
not from the client. Then we see the sychronization type. How can I specify which table to sychronize in this case? I cant seem to be able to find any option for this. i dont want
to sychronize the entire db just a part of it.
thank you for your time and efforts
Edited by: user2955130 on Sep 24, 2009 11:29 PM

When you say a stand-alone desktop application... you mean a client application that is synchronized? You want to be able to add users to the device/database for example various shift workers?
Take a look at the following:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12095_01/doc.10302/e12089/admdb.htm#BDCGGHCB
You may also mean the following:

5.1.4 Mobile Server User Privilege: Member
The Mobile Server user with privilege of member is created for accessing published applications and its data within the context of a single user. The member user is useful when you have multiple people using the same application and data (or subset of data) on a single device. This enables multiple people to share the device, application and data while logging in with their own username and password.
Multiple members can be created and associated with this user. Once a view is created on the client for the member, then the member can access the application and data of the user. Thus, the user is known as the data owner, since all synchronization initiated by a member is actually performed within the context of the user.
The member has the same privileges as a user. It provides a specific username/password for logging in and synchronizing the application from a device.
A member inherits access to the application, subscription and data subsetting parameters from its associated user. However, as the data owner, only the user can be used to download and install the Mobile client. Additionally, only the user can initiate the first synchronization. The member cannot access the application data directly, but through a view created on top of the data by the user.
Note:
See Section 5.3.1.2.1, "Define Username and Password" for conventions for creating the username or password.
If you modify a current user with privilege of Administrator, Organizer, or User to Member, then any associated devices for that user will be disabled when it is modified to privilege Member.
After creating the member, the administrator associates the member with one or more users.
For your second question, if you initiate a sync from the server, it will sync everything. You can only specify a selective sync from the client as part of your sync parameters.

How many users/ schemas can we create in an oracle database?

How many users can we create in an oracle database? Or how many users can oracle handle?
Problem-
I have to store information of ontologies (I will use countries instead) in db.
I have to store information regarding countries.
I have 13 tables in all to maintain for each country.
Now there are two approaches:
1) keep only 13 tables. Have an extra column in each table to indicate that a particular
row stores information for which country.
2) create a new user/ schema for each country. So we can get rid of the extra column
needed in 1st approach.
I have used the second approach. This is because number of entries in each table for a
given country will be large.
So initially when the s/w is installed I create a central-user. Each time data for new
country has to be entered central-user creates a user/ schema, and creates tables for
this user/ schema. The central user can access the tables of all the countries by
country_name.table_name. By this approach I believe searching would be easy.
If there is any flaw in my approach kindly mention it.
Thank you

There is no (practical at least) limit to the number of users & schemas you can have in Oracle.
Your approach, however, is not going to scale nearly as well as the first option you outlined (adding a column). You are going to end up caching every possible variation of the various queries you're going to be executing because you will be referring to so many different tables, which is going to mean that you are doing a lot more work to parsing statements and generally churning through the shared pool. If you create enough users, you're liable to start hitting ORA-04030 errors because your shared pool is so fragmented.
Additionally, you're likely going to end up with a whole lot of dynamically generated SQL to accommodate new schemas getting added over time which is going to cause you even more pain. Figuring out dynamically what table to join in is a heck of a lot more difficult for the programmer to write and for the database to handle than simply passing in a different country code.
If you're concerned about having too much data, you can have your cake and eat it to by adding the country column and partitioning the tables based on country.

One other item I forgot to mention is maintainability. Having dozens or hundreds of "identical" schemas makes maintenance a huge pain because something like adding a new column now requires dozens or hundreds of separate DDL statements. You're almost guaranteed that some schema isn't going to be in sync-- it's going to miss a column or miss an index, etc.
