Developing for a Oracle Application Server with SSO

Hello there,
I'm developing an application (Java) that will be deployed as a partner application within an Oracle Application Server 10g at my client. This Oracle instance has a SSO already configured, and my app will use this Identity Manager (consuming the cookie). The problem is that at my company we don't have a SSO system configured, not even an Oracle Application Server, just a simple Oracle XE 10g to hold data. So I'm wondering how can I do to develop my application and test it.
I was looking forward to install an OAS and configure an SSO to validate my implementation, but the download link provided by Oracle is broken (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/index.html). Another alternative that I thought of was to install an OC4J and configure a Java SSO to simulate the behavior of OSSO, and make my app the cookie set by it. But OC4J supports only til Servlet 2.4 and my app is using 2.5...
And to complete, I cannot access my client's environment. I'm supposed to write a Deploying document telling him how to deploy my app and then try to access it through Internet.
Does anyone have an idea of how can I develop and test my app in my company's environment?
Thanks in advance,
Bruno Krebs.

Difference between oracle Developer suit and Oracle Application Server???

Dear all,,
If any one please tell me the main difference between Developer Suit and Oracle Application Server.

Thank you
Hina.

but for client use for more than x user to be able to run reports using parameter forms and other forms application u must use Oracle Application Server
An application server is
a server program in a computer in a distributed network that provides the business logic for an application program.
The application server is frequently viewed as part of a three-tier application, consisting of a graphical user interface (GUI) server, an application (business logic) server, and a database and transaction server.
More descriptively, it can be viewed as dividing an application into:
--- A first-tier, front-end, Web browser-based---
1.graphical user interface, usually at a personal computer or workstation
2.A middle-tier business logic application or set of applications, possibly on a local area network or intranet server
3.A third-tier, back-end, database and transaction server, sometimes on a mainframe or large server
Hope this helps,

Creating directories for installing Oracle Application Server 10.1.2.0.2

Hi,
I have Red Hat Linux 4.0 and i am trying to install OAS 10.2.0 Enterprise Edition which includes web tier, app tier and database tier all in server machine because i do have about 100GB disk space, 12 GB memory and 9 GB swap space.
Now, i read the OAS installation documents which i got from oracle.com
as well as i read OAS installation chapters from the OAS books i purchased from oracle press.
now each documentation guides us to create different folders with different names for installinmg the AS. these are the list of directories i got from both these documentations.
for Inventory:
/home/oracle/oraInventory
/opt/oracle/oraInventory
for Infrastructur instance:
/opt/oracle/oraInfra
/u01/oracle/infra1012
for Database files:
/u01/oracle/infra1012/datafiles
/opt/oracle/oraInfra/datafiles
for BI and Forms:
/opt/oracle
/u02/oracle
and from above comparisons which one is oracle recommended default directory name that i should create for my installation.
also what path should i give for ORACLE_HOME. is it
/home/oracle/product or
/opt/oracle
Can someone please guide me with creating the correct recommended directories for installaing OAS10.1.2.
Or can i go ahead and create my own directory names for the installation.
Thanks,
Philip.

Basically it's up to you how to design the directory structure.
What I normally do on my VMWare instances where I run RedHat is one directory in the home dir of the Oracle user.
So I have:
/home/oracle
In there one directory for the software called products
/home/oracle/products
When I have several ORACLE_HOME's they get their own dir in the above directory, for example:
/home/oracle/products/db102
/home/oracle/products/as101202infra
/home/oracle/products/as101202mid
/home/oracle/products/as10131soa
and so on.
When dealing with installation at customers I adhere to their standard which is normally based on OFA. Search for OFA on the internet and you get the reason why you see so many differnet directories in the docs and books.

Dose OHW come with Oracle Application Server 10g?

I install Oracle Application Server with two instances (named: AS10131 and AS10g2). ohw.jar is found in:
\ AS10131\jee2\home\applications\ascontrol\ascontrol\WEB-INF\lib and
\ AS10g2\jee2\home\applications\ascontrol\ascontrol\WEB-INF\lib.
Is it means:
1. Server containers have OHW already?
2. I only need to implement OHW in my web application (developed iwith Jdeveloper)?

OHW is not installed by default. You can download it from OTN. (http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/java/help/index.html).
The OHW you've found is part of the AS control application only.

BAM and Oracle application server 10.1.3???

Hi,
I would like to understand more about integration between BAM and OAS.
I remember I read a document that stated that BAM was included (or was integrated) as part of OAS 10.1.3, however I installed it and still don;t see how it is integrating with OAS.
Also, in one of the Tutorials it mentions this:
"Note –if you are using Oracle Application Server with opmn process, the following
additional files are required in the above path:
C:\OracleBAM\OC4J\opmn\lib\optic.jar
Copy the entire Application Server “opmn” directory to c:\oraclebam"
So... are there any additional steps for the OAS and BAM integration?
I am still learning BAM but mi goal is install it as part of EBS(order Manegemnet)-BPEL-OTM (oracle Transportation) integration installation I currently have.
If it can be integrated can it be done using iAS 10.1.2.0.2 instead?
Thanks

Its recommended that you should use same versions of OAS and Oracle BAM.
For integration between OAS components and BAM you can check BAM tech notes (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/integration/bam/10.1.3/htdocs/1013_support.html#technotes)
Hoping it will help you.

Oracle Application Server 10g R2 and UniVerse

Has anyone had any experience trying to implement App Server with non-oracle database such as UniVerse. I'd only like to find out if it is possible and where I can get documentation on how to go about this. Any replies are appreciated. Thanks in advance for your time.

Hi,
Can you tell us more details about your intentions and business challenges ? After reading your question, I think you are looking for one of these scenarios :-
1. Using the IBM Universe Database as the Metadata Repository for the Oracle Application Server.
It's not possible - Oracle Application Server is married to the Oracle Datbase & you can't use anything else as an MR.
2. Accessing the IBM Universe Database from an Web Application.
I think this depends on the Technologies used in the Web Applciation ( J2EE, PHP, etc. ) & the level of support offered by the Oracle Application Server ( OC4J, J2EE Libraries, etc. ) . If this is what you are looking for, can you tell us more about the application & the challenges you are facing ?

Starting Oracle Application Server as a particular user under windows

Hi All,
I am wondering if there is any way of starting the Oracle Application Server with a users default operating system environment variables set.
The reason I ask this, is that we have deployed a webapp which contains a piece of software which needs to be run on the command line for generating reports using the reports 6i client (rwcli60). We have had issues with this in regards to the application not finding a proper service under Oracle Application Server.
Our company then had to revert going back to a Apache/Tomcat setting and deploying the same web app on the tomcat server. Originally we were getting the same error. As a consequence we decided to change the user who runs tomcat as the same user who runs the oracle reports 6i server. This worked.
Also of note is that when this was done, the tomcat server has ALL the environment settings as the os user. This can easily be seen by using the Runtime.exec("cmd /c set") command and printing its outputs. However executing the same command withan Oracle App Server results in a dramatically reduced environment to the logged in user who started the app server.
Any help would be most helpful.
Cheers
Rodney

Hi All,
From much research and experimenting to get this to work I looked at the java.lang.Runtime class and noticed that seperate processes can be started using this very important Java class.
The first thing that I experimented with was in regards to seeing the environment OC4J runs against. Using the java.lang.Runtime class I executed a standard "cmd /c set" command in my Windows environment, and noticed that Oracle Application Server uses its own environment and not a standard windows login environment for its OC4J containers. Apache Tomcat on the other hand uses the standard user login environment.
So to get the application to be able to work properly we needed to override the particular environment the process needed to be able to get it to work. There is a exec command which allows you to override completely the environment for a process you would like to run. This method call does not in any way shape or form change the standard OC4J environment. This was done by executing the same "set" but with the overriden environment. Note that no environment variables from the OC4J container are carried into this new environment.
Cheers
Rodney

Hi,
I am trying to deploy the developed servlet in Oracle applications server.
But I am not getting the console for the same, can anyone help me finding the way to achieve the same.

Oracle follows the sun standards, you can save your application jsps to
ORACLE_HOME\j2ee\home\applications\MyApp and it gets automatically deployed (and ofcourse the servlet classes under the WEB-INF/classes)

Oracle Application Server Install Issue

Gurus,
There were 2 CD/DVDS (media) sent for the Oracle Application Server Install, but the Oracle Universal Installer did not ask for the 2nd CD while doing the Install, is this normal or I am not sure I missed any steps while installing the 1st CD/DVD.
I was waiting that it would ask for the IInd CD/DVD, But it never? but the Install looked clean and exited clean without any error.
Please advice.
Thanks
Sheik

The 2nd disk is Companion CD. It contains the install files for other components.
For instance, If you want to install Oracle HTTP Server only, then you use the companion CD to do so. It has many other individual installations.

SMTP host for the e-mails in Oracle Application Server 10g

Hi,
I would like to ask in which file from the Oracle Application Server 10g is the configuration for SMTP Host for the e-mails.
Thank you,
Mihaela

Hi Ibrahim,
You can do an easier installation by only using base release of 10.1.2.0.2. What I stated would be good practice:
By * DB 10.2.0.3 ---- > u mean (Database Version) => Yes, use Database version 10.2.0.3
By * Identity Management 10.1.4.0.1 (OID/SSO) -----> u mean (Application Server infrastructure) => Yes, use Identity Management 10.1.4.0.1 instead of the infrastructure on Application Server 10.1.2.0.2
By * Application Server 10.1.2.0.2 -----> u mean (Middle Tire Forms&Report Services) => Yes, use Application Server 10.1.2.0.2 as middle-tier. When installed, upgrade it to 10.1.2.2 (with the latest patchset)
By * Patch Application Server DB client to 10.1.0.5 ----> u mean what? => Before you upgrade AS to 10.1.2.2 it's mandatory to upgrade the Database client software in the Application Server 10.1.2.0.2 home to 10.1.0.5. Default is 10.1.4. You'll see database client version by for instance starting SQL*Plus.
For your Developer (Forms) upgrade: Forms 4.0/4.5 - 6i -> 10g. See: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/upgrade/index.html. If you have tons of Forms, then I recommend using a tool like the great PITTS.CON (http://www.pitss.com/en/pcon/index.htm).
