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
Best wishes

Oracle applications and xserver

Oracle apps dbas,
When I tried o view the graphics in workflow manage on OAM, always got the error:
"BIB-7000 Cannot access X Server".
I found the metalink note: Note:351839.1 to explain the cause.
But still a little bit confused about the Oracle Application and the xserver.
How can I know the xserver is running on which machine?
How can I know that every user can establish a xsession to access the server?
Currently, I set the display on the box to my local computer.
Is there any good documents to explain the xserver mechanism?
Thanks,
Lily

Thanks,      hsawwan and      samx18.
We use VNC. I found another good metalink noteL Subject:      Configuring VNC Or XVFB As The X Server For Applications 11i
     Doc ID:      Note:181244.1
Thanks,

How can we do the data migration between Oracle Applications and SAP R/3.

Hi All,
How can we do the data migration between Oracle Applications and SAP R/3 system.What are all the possible ways to move bulk data from Oracle Apps to SAP r/3 system.
Provide any 3rd party tools which supports data migration and also pls rpovide the SAP's own data migration tools with supports the above feature.
Awaiting for best possible solution.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Dharmaraju

the 3rd party tool is ETL , you can use ETL tool and the prepare the load files then you can use LSMW method to upload the data to SAP.

Customising the admin and user console

I want to customise the Admin and User Console for helpdesk users. Therfore I want them to have create user and manage user menu access. I have created a helpdesk user group and assigned create and manage menu items. When I logon as the helpdesk user I can see the menu items, however if I do a search for users, no records are found. Likewise if I create a user, organisations are not found on the organisations lookup. I have tried assigning various privileges for the group but with no success. Am I missing something obvious?
Thanks
Dave

For HelpDesk admin to be able to search for users, he/she need to be Organization Admin for the company for which they can search for users. For instance, if you have Organizations : ABC, XYZ in your OIM instance and you want HelDesk admin to be able to search for users within "ABC", then the corresponding group has to be an admin for "ABC". To do this, search for the Organization and assign Administrators using the option available in the Organization profile page drop-down.
Once the above task is done, you should be able to search and also assign the Organization to newly created user.
Hope this helps,

How to properly partition separate Root, Applications, and Users volumes?

Wondering if there's an official Apple recommended method to set Applications and Users directories on different physical Volumes (be it a separate partition or separate physical drive).
The bottom of this Apple document alludes to this by stating, "Divide hard disk space into partitions and then, for example, keep your applications in one section and your documents in another."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8769.html
I'd like to do this, but there seems to be issues with symbolic linking from some of the solutions out there. Not sure if Apple has a sanctioned method that won't be incompatible with some Applications and/or future upgrades.
Thanks in advance for anybody's insight.

ArborWoody,
The concept of using separate volumes and/or drives to store system, HOME folders, applications, and even swap files separately has been debated, tested, then debated some more time and time again for many years. The findings are that, without doubt and in all realistic cases, jumping through convoluted hoops doesn't get you anything. Nothing at all.
Given the lack of any real benefit, plus the complexity of making the attempt, to do so is folly. The best advice we could give you would be to forget all about doing this, or in fact doing anything but keeping things just as they are in the default configuration of OS X.
Notice, however, that one thing I mentioned above is "HOME folders." I specifically did not mention "user data." While one's HOME folder typically contains user data, the two things are not the same. In very many cases, it is in fact beneficial to store certain types of user data on a second volume or drive. What type of data, and where it would be best to store that data, would be determined entirely by one's workflow environment and the uses to which that data will be put.
It could be that a striped RAID array is the solution that would work best for you. Or, you may instead be best served by using a mirrored RAID array. In some cases, external storage is best. In others, not so much.
One of the important issues you mention is facilitation of backup and recovery. Absolutely! The answer is Time Machine. Or, perhaps Time Machine and the maintenance of a "clone" (not something I do, but popular nonetheless). But what does Time Machine do for us? Simple. It is designed to allow us to quickly and easily recover from potential disaster, up to and including the loss of a startup drive or even an entire machine (this second possibility assumes that the TM backup is stored externally or on a safe drive, of course).
What can we do to enable Time Machine to do its job most effectively? This, too, is pretty simple. Just keep our startup volume as "slim" as we can. Not by moving HOME folders or applications, but by common-sense file management, tailored to the specific usage to which this machine is dedicated. Perhaps more importantly, more pertinent to this thread, moving one's applications or HOME folders off the startup volume actually interferes with Time Machine's ability to do its job. For an example of the effects of this interference, just take a look at this fun thread.

You did not mention exactly which Forms version you are using so it will be difficult to offer specific help. However, you did mention Forms 9i. ALL "9i" releases were desupported long ago, so find software or documentation are becoming more difficult.
Here is the Deployment Guide for Forms 10.1.2

Application security /access by only designated users

Hi All,
I am very new to this great application, so please help.
I am using HTML DB 2.1 .
I have multiple application in a schema. A end user of one application can access all the other applications of the same schema by just changing the application ID in the URL, How can I prevent it.
Thank in advance.

Create user groups and assign your groups to your users depending on what they should or shouldn't access.
On your login page (101) create a validation on submit using the following code - PL/SQL Function returning Boolean:
DECLARE
   v_group   VARCHAR2 (400) DEFAULT NULL;
BEGIN
   SELECT HTMLDB_UTIL.get_groups_user_belongs_to (UPPER(:P101_USERNAME))
     INTO v_group
     FROM DUAL;
   IF INSTR ( v_group, 'YOUR_GROUP_1') > 0
   THEN
      RETURN TRUE;
   ELSE
      RETURN FALSE;
   END IF;

PSE crashes when using the Detail Smart Brush plenty of memory and speed -please advise

PSE crashes when using the Detail Smart Brush plenty of memory and speed -please advise

I have a similar thing happening here, but on my aging iMac8,1 (3.06, 6 gigs of ram, plenty of internal and external scratch space) No wacom here, a Logitech mouse though, running via USB overdrive.
With me it's undos that are typically causing the hang, and as such, I notice it happening and don't keep clicking around. It hangs for anywhere from 30 seconds to 3 minutes or so and then I can continue working. Once, it was happening on a document I had open for a while, once it was occurring on a file I opened, made an errant click, and hit undo. This was a 46.6 MB CMYK tif. I also had it occur while drawing a simple selection with the polygonal lasso - each time it would hang on the third click. That time, it would unhang, but then the selection would be all messed up and not display what was being selected.
Each time it happens, I see photoshop pinned at 99-100% in iStat. Doesn't seem to be related to running out of memory, as there is usually a good amount free when it's happening. I tried using the internal drive as the swap, and that didn't seem to matter.
I've been forced to go back to CS5 for the time being, but would love to see this solved. Is there any further info I could provide?

Oracle applications and C#

Hi Gurus,
Iam building an application in C# which connects to oracle apps DB and does some operations. My concern is that
the application works fine with apps user since it access the apps table. But i dont want to use apps user.
In a typical production scenario, nobody will give apps user and pwd, so the application cannot be used in
the production.
Is there a work around for this ?
Thanks,
Sathish

Hi Srini,
Thanks for the reply.
I could think of that, but again it is cumbersome to give access to all tables and API's that iam using. And i never know what are the tables in turn the API's access.
So obviously we need to provide ALL access to apps tables for the custom account which is not possible in the production.
Is there anyway we can initialize the apps ?? or any API available?
Thanks,
Sathish

How to install latest oracle application and database?

Hi all,
Hope doing well,
sir i am using sql database for my application now i want to use oracle database for my application that is visual studio 2008
.net application. but i don't know the steps of how to get set up file how to install etc.
plz help me. waiting for reply.
Thanks in advance.

Call or bring your phone to a Nokia Service center.It is possible that they can bring that stuff back in your phone.
I assume that it wont cost you anything unless you have voided the warranty.

After copying my Applications and Users folders to external drive using Carbon Cooy Cloner, I cannot see the files on the drive when accessing them from a freshly installed OS.

The folder where the Archive should be is empty yet activity monitor shows that the drive isn't empty

Use Data Rescue on the Mac and out the recovered files to another external drive.
Just grab your users files, the rest you trash. That's all you can do.
Good Luck
