Evaluating OWB E-Business Suite Connector

Hello, everyone.
I'm evaluating the E-Business Suite Connector for OWB to determine if it would be a good investment for my organization.
Has anyone had experience with this connector? If so, can you provide some details as to how you are using it, what sort of time/cost savings it has provided, if any, and most importantly, what value does the connector bring as opposed to simply having the Oracle E-Business database as a source database.
Thanks for your time.
Dan

Hussein,
You said
"As long as you run a non-production instance, I believe you can still use the software after the 30 days and the OPN membership is not required.".
How is the above true when the license agreement clearly says "30 day trial"? What is your source?
Here are the exact wordings:
The "Trial Term" shall be 30 Days from the date of your acceptance of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
Later on the agreement says:
The rights granted to you under this Agreement expire at the end of the Trial Term.
If you decide to use any of the Programs after the end of the Trial Term, you must acquire a license for each Program from Oracle.
You said
"Where you get this option from? What is your reference?"
I talked to Oracle OPN Department over the phone.

  • OWB 10gR2 EBusiness Suite connectors

    Hi
    Can anyone tell me why I am getting "EBusiness Suite 11.5.9" as the business domain when I am using the metadata import wizard, althou we are connecting to "EBusiness Suite 11.5.10.2". I am also not able to import any of the HR tables except for one "HR.PER_ABSENCE_ATTENDANCES"
    I am able to connect to the EBusiness Suite successfully from the OWB repository user:
    1) but when I us the metadata import wizard and select the "Business Domain" --> Browser is shows "EBusiness Suite 11.5.9". We are currently running Oracle Applications EBusiness Suite 11.5.10.2. It also does not include the "HR" schema in the Business domain list.
    2) when I use the same metadata import wizard and select "Text string, where object" option
    I am only able to see the PER_ABSENCE_ATTENDANCES table in the HR schema.
    The current version of OWB repository user 10gR2 (10.2.0.4.0)
    OWB Client version 10.2.0.4.36
    Database version 10.2.0.3.0 EE
    Regards

    Hi
    Which database schema are you connect to EBS using?
    I think that display name is taken from the view FND_APPLICATION_VL where the columns APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME and APPLICATION_NAME are used by OWB. Can you check what is projected in these values from the view?
    Cheers

  • How to integrate E-Business Suite and OWB

    I want to extract data from an E-business Suite (EBS) database. In the OWB 10.2 userguide is a paragraph, Enabling Integration with Oracle E-business Suite, telling me to import some metadata tables from the EBS-database. But how do I go from there to extracting the application data from the EBS database?
    Jaap.

    Hi Jaap,
    Take a look at the following paper on OTN as to how the EBS connector works in 10.2 (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/warehouse/pdf/ERP%20Data%20Integration%20with%20OWB.pdf)
    In general this works like most import and loads in OWB. You basically read the EBS metadata catalog and then once that information is in OWB, you drag these tables into mappings.
    Hope this answers the questions,
    JP

  • Oracle E-Business Suite 11.5.10 to 11.5.10.2 upgrade - DBA HELP NEEDED

    I hope someone can help me.....I've spent days so far but getting the same issues!
    I am trying to setup an E-Business Suite 11i VISION instance to use for some user training.
    I have managed to setup and get running 11.5.10 on SUSE 9 and have no problems running this.
    However, I am trying to update this to 11.5.10.2 by applying the Cumulative Update (CU2) patch (u3460000.drv).
    I have followed all of the pre-requisite steps in Metalink note (316366.1) and applied patches 4318672, 4229931 and 4297568 as per instructions.
    All Autoconfig results as part of this returned an [ALL PASS] status and I was then able to proceed.
    I then used AutoPatch to apply u3460000.drv, however at a certain point the script displays:
    FAILED: file LoadMap.class on worker 1 for product ecx username ECX.
    FAILED: file LoadMap.class on worker 2 for product ecx username ECX
    ATTENTION: All workers either have failed or are waiting:
    FAILED: file LoadMap.class on worker 1.
    FAILED: file LoadMap.class on worker 2.
    I've checked the worker logs, adwork001.log, adwork002.lo, and can see they are showing an error:
    Message: No ECX_VERSION stored in database.
    SQLState: null
    ErrorCode: 0
    I have copied the last few lines from the adwork log file and also adpatch log file to the bottom of this thread.
    I have tried using adctrl to restart the failed workers and also the hidden option 8 to skip this process and both of these steps have failed.
    I can't see anything about this error on Metalink or Oracle Forums.

  • Oracle ADF security integration with Oracle E-Business Suite SDK JAAS

    I have an Oracle ADF 11.1.2.2 application that is using ADF security for authentication and authorization.
    When we deploy this application to our JDeveloper integrated weblogic server, we utilize the security setting of "Custom" and use weblogic users and roles to map to the ADF application roles. In that environment our security is working properly.
    I have a Weblogic 10.3.5 standalone server that has the ADF runtime installed as well as the Oracle E-Business Suite SDK JAAS implementation installed.
    When I deploy the Oracle ADF application to the standalone weblogic server, I am directed to the JAAS login page when I attempt to access any JSF page (including those that I have granted View access through the anonymous-role. Does the Oracle ADF anonymous-role work (allow for anonymous page access) when JAAS security is handled by the Oracle E-Business Suite SDK JAAS implementation?
    Per the SDK instructions, when we install the Oracle ADF deployment on Weblogic we have selected "DD only" for our security setting. We have defined enterprise roles in the Oracle ADF security setup (jazn-data.xml) that are assigned the appropriate application roles. Those enterprise roles have the same name (i.e. UMX|YOURROLE) as the E-Business Suite roles that are assigned to our test users. When we login with an E-Business Suite user / password we are receiving an error:
    Error 401--Unauthorized
    From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
    10.4.2 401 Unauthorized
    Any thoughts on why that would be?
    Thanks
    Dan

    Thanks Juan.
    With the debugging options enabled it appears the issue is not an issue with the user / role credentials - it seems like the resource grants from jazn-data.xml are not being reviewed in my standalone weblogic instance EAR deployment:
    [JpsAuth] Check Permission
    PolicyContext: [TestApp]

    When I review my EAR - I do see jazn-data.xml at:

    I will review the system-jazn-data.xml to see if the policy information has been migrated properly as part of the EAR deployment.

  • E-Business Suite 11i with ESSO and Identity Manager

    Hi,
    We want to use Identity Manager to provision user information to Active Directory, MS Exchange, and E-Business Suite. Also, intend to deploy e-sso to provide single sign-on experience for desktop and web based applications.
    Has anyone integrated Oracle E-Business Suite 11.5.10.2 with Enterprise Single Sign-On and Identity Manager (Identity Management)?
    Can we achieve it without using Oracle Internet Directory/OracleAS 10g Single Sign-On?
    Any relevant information or issues faced during integration, would be helpful.
    Regards.

    Hi,
    for this integration you will need Provisioning Gateway component of the ESSO suite, and the included OIM-ESSO PG Connector.
    The eBusiness Java interface can be integrated with eSSO, trough the java helper object.
    There are several metalink notes that describe the OIM-PG integration:
    NOTE: 550639.1 eSSO: Overview And Troubleshooting Of OIM Integration With Provisioning Gateway
    NOTE: 550642.1 eSSO: OIM PG Integration: ProvisioningInstructionException: The user is not authorized for the action
    NOTE: 550645.1 eSSO: OIM PG Integration: Error in Sending Request to web service
    NOTE: 550646.1 eSSO: OIM PG Integration: Unsupported major.minor version 49.0
    NOTE: 550641.1 eSSO: OIM PG Integration: Add_credential Execution Failed. Error: XPathFactory
    NOTE: 550643.1 eSSO: OIM PG Integration: Could not find IT asset value for Svr_key
    Yes, with eSSO-OIM you wont need Oracle Internet Directory/OracleAS 10g Single Sign-On.

  • How to Restore E-Business Suite after Server Crash?

    Hi Hussein Sawwan,
    I have a question that will be useful to other members of the community. How do I restore Oracle E-Business Suite R12 after physically loosing the server that hosts the ERP instance?
    I have 2 scenarios here:
    1-Existing cold backups of the DbTier and AppsTier are available
    I have been doing a full backup of the Apps and Inst folders once a week on an external drive.
    I have been copying the DB folder (Data + DBMS_ORACLE_HOME) after shutting down the database cleanly once a week on an external drive. Noting that, here the database is in NOARCHIVELOG mode.
    2-Existing Hot backups of the Database are available and I have a backup of the Apps and Inst folders (AppsTier)
    The database is in archivelog here. I have been doing a full hot backup of the database once a week, an Incremental backup everyday, and a full backup of the archivelogs once a week. All of this to an external drive. The Apps and Inst folders are backed up once a week to an external drive.
    Let say something bad happens and we completely loose the physical server. How can I do to restore and recover my Oracle E-Business Suite R12 to a new server?
    I know I will have to Install the same OS on the new server, but what happens after that?
    Thanks in advance,
    Clamarion.

    I believe the easiest approach would be:
    - Install the same OS on the new servers
    - Install OS pre-req software and packages for your EBS instance
    - Restore from cold backup (if the crash happened directly after this backup and you haven't lost any data)
    OR,
    - Restore from hot backup (if the crash happened after your cold backup and you have data that wasn't part of the cold backup)
    I assume that no changes to the hostname, domainname, IP Address, port numbers, directory structure, ..etc is taking place in this restore.
    Thanks,
    Hussein

  • 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

  • Report won't print to the end of width in Oracle E-Business Suite

    Hello all,
    I desperately need help to setup Reports 6i layout. I created a report for a 8.3 x 11.69" and it seems fine when I print directly from Reports Developer but when I register it in Oracle E-Business Suite 11.5.10.2 it won't print to the end of page width. It always cut the print in about 3/4 of page width. I already setup the report as a text and pdf but still no success. Enlarge the width and height of the report won't help either. Anyone can suggest something to help? Thanks.

  • Report Builder Question: Printing PO's from E-Business Suite - POXPRPOL

    I'm hoping there's someone who has the time to help me: We are using Report Builder 9, Oracle 9i, and E-Business Suite 11.5.10.
    I am a new developer using Oracle, and need to make some changes to the seeded (default) POXPRPOL (Purchase Order Print - Landscape) report, using Report Builder.
    I have two problems:
    1. When I print PO Releases from E-Business Suite, and specify I want releases 1 through 2, I get those fine, but the first page is my "Purchase Agreement". The question is: Is there any way (programatically or otherwise) to say "When the "Release" fields are filled out, don't include the Purchase Agreement?
    2. Somehow, after making a few changes to the POXPRPOL report, my quantity has disappeared. Is there any suggestions on how this could happen? I look at the query where they are using "POL.QUANTITY_TO_PRINT" for the working and the non-working reports, and they look identical.
    I'm hoping DESPERATELY that someone can help me - I'm really in a bind...
    Thanks!

    Srini,
    Thanks so much for your reply!!!
    1. Ok, but how do I hide a whole page? I noticed the conditional formatting, but I want to "not print" a whole page when this page is a "Purchase Agreement".
    2. I've checked the source - it's coming from POL.QUANTITY_TO_PRINT - POL is a view that is unpopulated. I assume it's populated at run-time. So now I am trying to track down where it's populated, but can't find that in report builder. The quantity is being taken into account, because I put a total at the bottom of the page, and that number matches price * pol.quantity_to_print. Very strange...
    Finally, here's another question, if you don't mind:
    3. When I print a purchase order that is set up as a blanket, as I mentioned before, I get my "Purchase Agreement" first, and then one (or more) pages per release. But the "Page Number" on each is "1" because each is a one-page PO. But my "total pages" is "3", so each page reads "Page 1 of 3". Any idea if there's a way around that?
    Thanks again! Hoping you have some more insight! :)
    Cheers!
