Database Vault on e-Business suite R12

Hi,
As i know, database vault prevents even DBA's from querying the critical data from the database. Can somebody please tell me what advantage does database vault on e-business suite offers in terms of security. I have installed vault on my e-business R12 database?
If DBA has password for both system and apps schema, they he can access any critical information from the e-business suite database.
Thanks,
Prasad

Prasad,
Did you review "Section 1: Overview" in the following note? I believe it answers your question.
Note: 744363.1 - Integrating Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 with Oracle Database Vault 10.2.0.3
https://metalink2.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=744363.1

Remember, someone always has the key (as mentioned in the other thread), which means the Realm Owner (created in Oracle Database Vault) has access to the Realm schemas.

E-Business Suite R12.1 on Exadata with Database Rel 12c - Upgrade and Migrate, or Migrate and Upgrade

Given:
E-Business Suite R12.1 running against non-RAC database release 11gR2
Aspiration:
E-Business Suite R12.1 running against database release 12c RAC on Exadata
In the context of Oracle best practices, what would be a preferred approach for the database tier to meet the above aspiration, i.e. (a) Upgrade database on source and then migrate to Exadata OR (b) Migrate database to Exadata and then upgrade ?
Appreciate thoughts from community members/Oracle support.
Thanks,
Rakesh

Rakesh,
It is necessary to refine Srini's statement:
EBS does not need to be "certified" on Exadata. See:
Running E-Business Suite on Exadata V2
https://blogs.oracle.com/stevenChan/entry/e-business_suite_exadata_v2
E-Business Suite 11i, 12.0, and 12.1 are certified with Database 12.1.0.1.
E-Business Suite 12.2 will be certified with Database 12.1.0.1 soon.

Displaying BLOB (image) data in BI Publisher Report - E-Business Suite R12

Hi All,
As part of E-Business Suite R12.1.3 upgrade, I need to develop a PO printout report using MS Word BI Publisher Desktop Plugin. The report needs to include images (signatures) from the database based on requisition approvers.
How can I build a custom view and a template to use with an RTF report and include dynamic images in it? Is it possible?
Thanks,
Sinan

yes, it is possible
look at Inserting BLOBs into your report
steps:
- create data definition with query with blob (say image) in xmlp
- create empty template and load it into xmlp resp
- create concurrent
- run concurrent
- save xml
- use BI Publisher Desktop with xml data for construct template layout
- load template layout to xmlp resp
another way
- if image in os you can try to use OA_MEDIA + image name

E-business suite R12 and webcenter integration

Hello,
We are integrating E-business suite R12 with webcenter.
We followed the steps from the white paper: https://support.oracle.com/CSP/main/article?cmd=show&id=1074345.1&type=NOT
We successfully completed step 1 through 4 and we are stuck at step 5 ( Configure E-Business Suite for WebCenter Integration )
We edited the AutoConfig Context File ($CONTEXT_FILE) to Specify WebCenter host in variable "List of nodes that have access to Portlet Producer URLs"
Here is the sample change:
<trusted_portals oa_var="s_trusted_portals" customized="yes">ap123sun.us.oracle.com ap456sun.us.oracle.com</trusted_portals>After doing this, when we try to access WSDL URL: http://[Release_12_host]:[port]/OA_HTML/portlets/WSRPBaseService?WSDL, we are getting '403 Forbidden' error. Also, accessing http://<EBS_HOST>:<PORT>/OA_HTML/providers/OAFrameworkProvider is returning '403 Forbidden' error
Please let us know if we missed any step.

Hussein,
Database Version is RDBMS 11.2.0.2; Oracle EBS Version is R-12.1.3; OS is HP-UX Itanium 64-Bit Version 11.31 (for DB and Apps Tier).
We bounced the application services after doing the above changes and running AutoConfig.
We checked access_log and the only information that we can find there is
[29/Nov/2011:15:15:05 -0600] "GET /OA_HTML/portlets/WSRPBaseService?WSDL HTTP/1.1" 403 242 0 "-" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; Trident/4.0; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; SLCC2; .NET4.0C; .NET4.0E)"

Starting Discoverer from Oracle E-Business-Suite R12

Hi!
At the moment im integrating Oracle Discoverer 10g with Oracle E-Business-Suite R12. (Metalink Note: 373634.1)
But how do i start Discoverer from E-Business-Suite?
Is there a spezial responsibility or a spezial link?
Or do i have to start discoverer as standalone server:port/discoverer/viewer?
But in this case, how can i connect to the e-business-suite-database?
Is there any Metalink Note for this? (eg. Using Discoverer 10g with E-Business-Suite R12 Users Guide?)
Thank you for your help!
Best regards,
Thomas

Hi,
Check that your ICX Discoverer profiles are set correctly and check Note 278095.1 for how to link to workbook.

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.

Does Oracle E-business suite R12 use bind variables?

Hello,
We have Oracle E-business suite R12 and database 10.2.0.3.
I was just wondering does E-business suite R12 use bind variables?
We have recently purchased Toad and Spotlight, in Spotlight we keep getting an alarm raised for Parse SQL requests (Library cache latches alert) When I've researched into this the recommendation is to try to improve the use of bind variables within your application.
Please could someone help me answer this?
Thank you
Sarah

Hi,
I was just wondering does E-business suite R12 use bind variables? Yes it uses bind variables. You can trace a concurrent program and get the tkprof to check it.
We have recently purchased Toad and Spotlight, in Spotlight we keep getting an alarm raised for Parse SQL requests (Library cache latches alert) When I've researched into this the recommendation is to try to improve the use of bind variables within your application.You can not make every conc. program or sql use bind variables. Some times it is not possible so.
Thanks

E Business Suite R12 for Window 7

Hi,
I am trying to download E-Business Suite R12 for Window 7 32-bit. Anybody knows where I can download this install.
Thanks.

Hi,
Windows 7 is NOT certified as an application/database tier node, the list of certified Windows OS can be found in (Note: 761567.1 - Oracle E-Business Suite Installation and Upgrade Notes Release 12 (12.1.1) for Microsoft Windows Server (32-bit)). So, download the Windows version of the 12.1.1 files from e-Delivery website and install it on a certified OS.

Installing Oracle E Business Suite R12 on Windows 7

Hi All,
I want to install Oracle E Business Suite R12 on my laptop with the following configuration. Please review and check if it's supported or not.
*Operating System: Windows 7 Home Basic
Processor: Intel(R) Core 2 Duo CPU T5870 @2.00GHz 2.00GHz
Installed memory(RAM) : 3.00 GB
System Type: 32-bit Operating System*
As I don't have sufficient free hard disk space, I plan to use an external hard drive. However, I can't increase the RAM as my laptop is under warranty.
If above configuration is not suitable, please suggest alternatives.
Regards,
KK

Hi,
*Operating System: Windows 7 Home BasicWindows 7 is not supported as a database/application tier node, so you need to have a supported/tested OS (Windows 2003, XP).
Processor: Intel(R) Core 2 Duo CPU T5870 @2.00GHz 2.00GHz
Installed memory(RAM) : 3.00 GB
System Type: 32-bit Operating System*
As I don't have sufficient free hard disk space, I plan to use an external hard drive. However, I can't increase the RAM as my laptop is under warranty.3 GB RAM should be OK (I would recommend having 4 GB at least -- If possible), and you can use an external disk drive.
If above configuration is not suitable, please suggest alternatives.For the OS, install a VM with one of the OS mentioned above.
Thanks,
Hussein
