Are Forms and Reports used in eBusiness Suite?

I am new to eBusiness Suite. I have a myth about whether eBusiness Suite is all written by Oracle Forms and Reports. If yes, are these Forms and Reports source code supplied to the customer for customisation?
Any help is welcome.

Hi,
The EBusiness Suite combination of forms/reports/jsp.
the forms/reports are module specific. Each module having its own forms and reports. With standard installation of Ebusiness suite you will get standard forms and reports. on demand requirement the reports/forms will change in display.
the binary forms with extention of .fmb,
reports with extention of .rdf

Oracle EBusiness suite professions tasks and duties

Hello everybody
I inquire about something regarding Oracle EBusiness suite professions tasks and duties. I've tasked by my manager with writing a report lists the main tasks and key responsibilities for each of the following technical professions within Oracle E Business Environment:
1)-Apps DBA.
2)-Apps Technical Consultant (Apps Developer)
3)-Apps Business Consultant.
I've contacted Oracle Support recently via opening SR .But, They informed me that they don’t provide such information and therefore, they suggest me weather to contact Oracle Consulting to post here.
I would appreciate your help.

I don't see how you'd be able to integrate OAM with EBS unless you have the oSSO (assuming of course that you're not on the bleeding edge, per 975182.1).
We are running the same configuration and have setup the redirects in OAM policy. We setup specific context roots for each application, then use OAM policy to redirect. (for example, http://iwa-server/ebs redirects to https://ebs-server)
Unique authorization rule for each redirect, then a unique "policy" on the "Policies" tab for each redirect. Each Policy maps to the respective Authorization Rule.

How to generate XML from EBusiness suite ARXSGPO

Could someone tell me how I can generate XML from the EBusiness Suite Accounts Receivable report ARXSGPO.rdf I understand this report is called by a C program. I have tried changing the concurrent request to output format to XML the result does not resemble XML. Does anyone have any suggestions how I can generate XML from the ARXSGPO report?
Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark
the next release of XMLP will have last page only support. The problem is that at the template layer you do not know how many lines are going to fit on the page, so you never know what is going to be the last page. The only way around it for now is to specify the number of lines to a page and then check when all the lines have been rendered and then render the remit portion.
I have a sample invoice that does the same, drop me a mail, you can work out the email from my name and the fact I work for XMLP Im sure.

BIP 11g with eBusiness Suite Security

Help! I'm at my wits end!
I installed BIP 11g on Linux and went through the security set up for eBusiness Suite - created the XMLP% responsibilities, assigned the responsibilities to users, shutdown the BIP server, restarted it with the expectation that I can login to BIP using my eBS userid/password credentials. I couldn't login with anything other than the local superuser userid/password. The eBS responsibilities were imported as BIP roles, but none of the users are recognized as valid users.
I set up an SR with Oracle Support and they are just as flummoxed as I am.
The log files are of no help or I don't know where to look.
I then installed BIP 11g on my Windows 7 laptop, to rule out the possibility that this could be an issue with BIP 11g on Linux. I went through the exact same steps on Windows7 and got the same result. I am not sure that this experiment rules out anything at this point.
I am at a loss and extremely frustrated since I don't know where to begin looking. The DBC file is used, otherwise the eBS responsibilities would not have been imported. What else could be missing?
If anyone could point me to anything that might be of help, I would greatly appreciate it. At this point, I am inclined to chuck BIP altogether and go to some other reporting solution.
Thanks,
Sunder

eBS passwords have to be reset after setting "Signon Password Case" profile to Insensitive. Works now.

can you please help me.
Thanks a million

Hi,
As a start point, please go through the log files (Apache, Forms, CM, Database) and see if you can find any errors.
Please verify that you run the following concurrent programs on regular basis:
- Gather Schema Statistics
- Purge Concurrent Request and/or Manager Data
How many concurrent users you have? Verify that your database initialization parameters are set properly (as documented in the Metalink document). Have you done any changes recently (applied Application/Database/OS patches) or did any upgrade?
Can you find any improvement in the performance if you stop the concurrent manager (or any of the application components)?
If you have verified all the above and all the steps in the documents referenced in my previous reply and nothing helped, then I would suggest you log a SR and upload all the tuning reports (backend, techstack, transaction, ..etc) to Oracle support.

Problems with Standard Apps views (eBusiness Suite)

Hi all,
I am working with Oracle Application Express and Oracle eBusiness Suite 11.5.10. We have integrated OAE with EBS, but now we are having problems with the standard views (owner APPS).
I would need the help from somebody that works with OAE and EBS.
Once we want to query one of the standard views, like ap_invoices, it is necessary to initialize the session with a script like this:
begin
DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO.SET_CLIENT_INFO(219);
end;
This script lets us to access to the data from the table AP_INVOICES_ALL using the view AP_INVOICES.
Once I have run the script from SQL Commands (SQL Workshop), I try to run a query using the standard view, for example:
SELECT * FROM apps.ap_invoices
From a Report or from SQL Commands (SQL Workshop) always I get the next error:
"ORA-01722: invalid number."
However, if I run this query from SQL Plus (same db user), there is any problem, the query works and retrieves rows.
If I get the source code of the view, remove all the columns, keeping the next SQL:
SELECT 1
FROM ap.AP_INVOICES_ALL
WHERE NVL(ORG_ID,NVL(TO_NUMBER(DECODE(SUBSTRB(USERENV('CLIENT_INFO'),1,1),' ',NULL,SUBSTRB(USERENV('CLIENT_INFO'),1,10))),-99)) = NVL(TO_NUMBER(DECODE(SUBSTRB(USERENV('CLIENT_INFO'),1,1),' ',NULL,SUBSTRB(USERENV('CLIENT_INFO'),1,10))),-99)
Run this SQL in OAE and I obtain the error again, however from SQL Plus the query works correctly.
I suppose somebody that works this EBS and OAE has had this problem. How did you solve it?
Thanks in advance.
Regards, Luis
PD. I have tried to not used the views and use the tables filtering the ORG_ID and looks it can work, but I do not like this option.

Luis - I don't know where you are running these blocks - the SQL Command Processor in APEX? Anyway, for every APEX page request the engine executes something like the following, depending on your version:    begin
    dbms_application_info.set_client_info(g_user);
    dbms_session.set_identifier(substr(g_user,1,(64 - length(g_instance)-1))||':'||to_char(g_instance));
    dbms_application_info.set_module('APEX:APPLICATION '||to_char(g_flow_id),'PAGE '||to_char(g_flow_step_id));
    exception when others then null;
    end;In the above code, the value of g_user is the logged-in username, perhaps ADMIN in your case.
Keep in mind that when you do a set_client_info in the database session, that persists only for the duration of the session. On the next page request, you'll get a new database session (or a recycled one).

Integrating Oracle Apex with Oracle eBusiness Suite

Hi All,
Can someone give me details about how we can integrate Oracle Apex with eBusiness Suite. We have few custom forms/ reports which are being developed in Apex. We want to register these in oracle applications as standard functions and link them to user responsibilities. Is it a good idea to create ApEx as separate application or can we use an existing application (like OM).
Any pointers, references, documents with reference to this would be very useful.
Thanks in advance.

How to customize eBusiness Suite?

I am interested to know how eBusiness Suite supports customization. I have the following queries?
1. Are eBusiness Suite developed using Forms and Reports?
2. Are source code provided for customization?
3. How does eBusinees Suite integrate with another ERP systems? What types of integration mechanisms are available?
Any discussions are welcome.

1. Are eBusiness Suite developed using Forms and Reports?Yes
2. Are source code provided for customization?Oracle Applications is designed to allow the flexibility for any client to extend Applications for their specific needs on an independant basis. Oracle does not support any customization of Oracle Application Object Library tables or modules, and you must work outside of Applications in order for the customization to work as support does not debug custom code.
3. How does eBusinees Suite integrate with another
ERP systems? What types of integration mechanisms are available?Please have a look at the following notes:
Note: 176852.1 - Integrating Custom Applications with Oracle Applications Release 11i

Need customised report for list of stock for partially processed materials.

Hi ,
The requirement with process im explaining plz share the report.
This customised report related to partiallly processed materials:
Suppose , after recieving material from vendor as raw material they will transfer the mat to vendor for processing agsinst 57f4 challan, after completing the process, they will recieve this material , this process will continues to till becoming finished product, once after the finished product come, they will transfer to finished storage location, from there it will be issued to production.
How to make the report, plz suggest me:
The report format is :
S.no    material      description     pending stock       challan pending stock       actual stock
Pending stock: material to be issued to vendor for proceessing
Challan pending stock: to be recieved from vendor after processing.
Actual stock: pending stock+challan pending stock.

You need these three informations
Pending stock: material to be issued to vendor for proceessing
        You have to find all Subcon. POs from Table EKKO,EKPO. Po number need to be passed to EKET Table and need to fetch "Reservation Number". Take this number and goto RESB table to get all components. You can find issue documents from MSEG table by passing 541 and PO Number. You need not consider all 541 documents which have been converted to Challan as it will be already considered with point no. 2
   2. Challan pending stock: to be recieved from vendor after processing.
        From Table J_1IEXCDTL by selecting 57F4 take all the stock from all the Challans which are having "status" P -Inprocess. (Reconciliation and completion not done.)
   3. Actual stock: pending stock+challan pending stock.
        This is just calculation.
I think there are many validations and considerations to be made. I think you can build from here.

Help with apex to ebusiness suite 11.5.10

Hello,
posted on ebusiness suite side, but they say to try here on apex side.
We are trying to follow the Cabot document found at
http://www.stuffspec.com/Read/_sp.d3d3Lm9yYWNsZS5jb20-sp..sltechnetwork.sl_developer-tools.sl_apex.sl_apex-ebs-wp-cabot-consulting-169064.pdf
but are having troubles just trying to get the ebusiness set up part done.
We are having troubles on page 5 of 8 where it talks about creating the plsql form function with the following attributes.
When we set the Properties/Type to be SSWA plsql function, it does not want to accept it and will not save as SSWA plsql function.
I have searched and read and followed so many links my head is spining. Has anyone else had this type of issue, and could tell us what we are doing wrong? Does the Cabot approach work for everyone, or is there another method that will work better?
We are using a stand alone apex server. We have a 11.5.10.2 e-bus suite which we use SSO for the hrSelfService. We are trying to add the new apex application to the hrselfservice menu. I following the Cabot white paper and I have created the procedure apex_launch as follows. I have some questions about it that are inline:
PROCEDURE APPS.apex_launch (
application IN NUMBER
, page IN NUMBER DEFAULT 1
, request IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL
, item_names IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL
, item_values IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL)
Is
Begin
OWA_UTIL.mime_header('text/html', false); ---- Is the url correct? Since my apex server is separate, do I need the APPS_FRAMEWORK_AGENT???
OWA_UTIL.redirect_url( ---- Do i need to create a DAD for pls/apex?
'https://ourserver.school.edu/pls/apex/f?p='||
application||':'||page||'::'||request||':::'||
item_names||':'||item_values);
End apex_launch;
I created the form function with the following attributes:
Properties/Type -> SSWA plsql function
Web HTML/HTML Call -> apex_launch
Form/Parameter -> application=310
I am able to save the plsql form function with no errors. However, when i go back in to look at the form function: property type, it is set to "database provider portlet". (I have opened an SR on this issue and as yet, i don't have a solution.)
I then add the new form function to the hr self service menu. When I go into self service, the new function does not display.
If I change the property to SSWA plsql function that opens a new window (Kiosk mode) and save the form function and don't change anything else, when I go into self service the new function displays. However ,when I click on it, it opens another e-bus suite logon page. After entering the username/password it just brings up the ebus suite application, not the apex application.
Can anybody help me? thanks.
Thank you,
Mark

Hi Mark,
Nope, that is the one of the issue im facing still that is the single sign on(even if i integrated APEX with EBS R12), im having issues with that.
It is asking two login credentials for me
<li>one is Ebs login credentials
<li>The other one is Apex Login credentials.
Soon after logging into the ebs, if i clicked the APEX menu means, the APEX login page is appearing.
If it is SSO means, the APEX login page should not appear soon after clicking the APEX menu in the EBS.
How to pass my APEX login credentials to the EBS, so that i can enter into my APEX application (via) EBS only with the EBS login page. Soon after entering into the EBS login page into the application. While if i clicked the APEX menu means, i need to navigate directly to the APEX Application page. And APEX login page should not appear.
Thanks

Mini

Ebusiness Suite SDK for Java session management

Hi, I am trying to try sample java application mentioned in Oracle® E-Business Suite Software Development Kit for Java Release 11i and 12 Part No. E28169-02
Current version i am trying is Jdeveloper 11.1.1.4.0 and Ebiz suite 12.1.3
able to create Apps Data source with out any issue.
when Home.jsp is accessed through application menu, user name and all session related information is showing as NULL.
how to resolve this issue.

Hi Shay,
I gone through the webinar.
Here is more explanation of my issue.
I created Apps Data source earlier. That time i registered external node in ebusiness suite with node_name as ip_address of weblogic server.
But that time session details came as Null on sample Java application.
Then i realized that may be the issue and corrected registration of external node and corrected ebiz profile options accordingly.
When i tried to create Apps data source with fresh dbc file, i got into invalid username/pwd issue.
As per following forum discussion topic, hyphen and dots in host name will cause issue with Apps data source creation, which is confirmed by couple of discussion participants and Juan also.
https://kr.forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=2489849&start=30&tstart=0
My weblogic host name is like WL-SOADEV-01.domainname.com
what should be my further actions to resolve this issue.
Thanks

EBusiness Suite User Management Provision - SSO Enabled

Hello,
I am having a hard time provisioning to ebusiness suite 12; it is SSO enabled with OID as the LDAP Repository.
I am able to
1.provision userid testuser1 to OID.
2.provision userid oimuser1 to ebusiness (I have not enabled SSO in the connector configuration at this point)
When I try to provision user oimuser1 to OID, it says a duplicate entry already exists.
Unabled to call fnd_ldap_wrapper.create_user due to the following reason:
ORA-20001: Unabled to call fnd_ldap_wrapper.create_user due to the following reason:

ORA-06512: at "APPS.FND_USER_PKG", line 1315
ORA-06512: at line 1
I also tried connector config with SSO Enabled parameters.
SSO Enabled - Yes
SSO IT Resource - OID IT Resource (resource name of OID)
SSO Identifier - orclGUID
SSO Login Attribute - uid
While provisioning the user to ebiz (sso enabled) - I provided the SSO Userid, same as idm user id, it gave me error it does not exist.
And if I leave the field blank- it gives me error stating Input field is blank.
Can someone please guide me through it?
Thanks & Regards,

Issue is resolved.
Was some connector configuration issue.

Unable to pass parameters from APEX to Oracle EBusiness suite R12 forms
