How to install Oracle Policy Automation in Oracle Application Server?

We are planning to use OPA with Oracle Ebusiness Suite Release 12.1. We are running Oracle Application Server 11g. We want to deploy the Oracle Policy Automation components in same application server as Oracle Ebusiness Suite.
(a) How to install Oracle Determinations Engine, Oracle Web Determinations and Oracle Determinations Server on Oracle Application Server? The installation document for OPA doesnt have steps for Oracle Application Server.
(b) Which one is better, to deploy OPA in separate server or in same server as Oracle Ebusiness Suite?
(c) How to decide whether to use Java API's using Determination Engine or web services using Determination Server or UI of Web Determinations for our project? Or what factors should we consider?
Thanks for the help.

(a) You should install the war files for Oracle Determination Server and Oracle Web Determinations as per normal war deployment - there's no special steps required, which is why it is not listed explicitly. There's no reason to deploy Oracle Determinations Engine itself to a web application server.
(b) "Better" tends to be more a subjective viewpoint, but if you already deploy all your web services on the same server as Oracle E-Business Suite then you should go the same for OPA. Same story for separate server deployment.
(c) Can't answer that without knowing why you are using OPA! If you are looking to integrate with Oracle E-Business Suite then Oracle Determinations Server would be the sensible choice. Web Determinations is most useful if you want a sensible way to collect or review the relevant assessment data for determinations, as well as for "self service" scenarios. Determinations Engine should be used if you have a completely bespoke integration scenario that can't make use of web services or web applications - but I can't think of a scenario where this would make sense if you are using Oracle E-Business Suite.
Of course, these are just my views - others may feel more strongly one way or the other!

Policy Automation: The New Paradigm
Please join Oracle, Exeter Group, and our Customer the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles
State and Local government is challenged to implement and automate complex, rapidly changing policies as well as to provide consistent advice to citizens across multiple service delivery channels. In response to this challenge, government agencies are embracing a new approach, which takes complex statutes, regulations and policy documentation and very rapidly converts them to decision automation systems.
This session will include a discussion of the challenges faced by government agencies in implementing complex and rapidly changing policies and how the Oracle solution can help. We will also have a special government guest speaker from the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles who will discuss their implementation of this solution. This will be followed by a demonstration.
Best,
Peter Still

You should probably contact RightNow to see if they have the ability to authenticate remotely (something like an LDAP interface). I know thatRightNow sites have a Web Service with the ability to send user name/password to that webservice. Although its not designed primarily as an authentication tool, it might suit your purpose.

OPA (Oracle Policy Automation)integration with Oracle Application R12

Hi,
We want to know checklist for OPA integration with Oracle Applocations( Ebussiness Suite). It is urgent, Can anybody help us on this.
It is very urgent. Any one can help us to integrate OPA (Oracle Policy Automation) with R12 Ebs.
Thanks in advance
Edited by: Venkat K.V on Sep 7, 2010 2:59 AM

The OPA team doesn't maintain a check-list of integration steps for EBS, but this should be a pretty standard web services integration using Oracle Determinations Server.
You might also want to check out this tutorial:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/apps-tech/policy-automation/overview/opa10-4.zip, which shows an example of how to integrate the OPA Oracle Web Determinations component with E-Business Suite.

Hi,
If I change the Style for date input to Year, Month and Day edits on an Entity Instance collect screen, it will build and debug correct. The issue is that if I close the project and try to re-open it, the following error will show.
*"Item has already been added. Key in dictionary:'_input-style' Key being added: '_input-style'"*
After importing the files into a new project (because it didn't open anymore) I noticed that by trying to import the Interview Screens file it gives the same error. After some more research I noticed that it gave the error after changing the input Style at an Entity Instance collect screen.
How can I still change the Style to Year, Month and Day edits (because in Dutch we normally notate dates like dd-mm-yyyy instead of yyyy-mm-dd)? Single Edit (default) is a bit unnatural, because even with all the settings being in Dutch you still need to input the date with yyyy-mm-dd.
Thanks,
Niels Roest

Where to download and how to install X Window System for Oracle Linux 5 ?

Folks,
Hello. I am using Oracle Linux 5 and Oracle Database 11g for PIA.
Before install Oracle DB 11g into Oracle Linux 5, we need to install X Window System according to the document page 2 http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/install.111/b32285.pdf
But I don't know where to download and how to install X Window System for Oracle Linux 5.
Can any folk provide a link to download X Window System and tutorial to install it for Oracle Linux 5 ?

You can address the problem in a number of different ways.
You can install X-windows from the installation DVD or setup access to the Oracle public software repository as described in http://public-yum.oracle.com. In which case, the command to install X-windows is: yum groupinstall "X Window System"
Or, you login remotely and and use SSH with X-forwarding, in which case the software on the server will use the X-Windows server on your client system. This is probably the preferred way since you do not have X-windows installed on the server. For more details about SSH forwarding and howto, please see Install Oracle 11gR2 on Ubuntu Linux 11.04 (64-bit) Howto part 2 Oracle Universal Installer.

Oracle Policy Automation 10.2.0

Oracle Policy Automation 10.2.0 is now available via Oracle E-Delivery (http://edelivery.oracle.com/)
This release includes updated media packs for Oracle Policy Modeling and the Oracle Policy Automation runtime for both Java and Microsoft .NET Framework. The updated media pack for Oracle Policy Automation Connector for Siebel 10.2.0 will be available at a later date.
This release includes:
* Translation Support - Excel spreadsheets that contain all the translatable parts of a rulebase, that are updated with the new strings to be translated when you modify attributes, rules or screens.
* Entity Containment - New hierarchical data model that simplifies data collection, debugging, and rule authoring when using relationships.
* Pluggable Determinations Server - New extensibility model for Determinations server that allows you to do pre- or post-processing of incoming data, or do as needed retrieval of data from an external data source, for example.
* Interview Web Service - Create fully customized stateful interview experiences in your GUI technology of choice
* Interview Screen Preview - Preview interview screens without having to go through the entire interview
* Flexible Interviews - Entity-level goals on the summary screen, more control over labels used for entity collection, and more
* "Not Currently Known" operator allows a rule to work out if a question has been asked.
* Additional string functions - as requested by users
* Entity Equality - ability to write rules that compare one entity instance with all the other instances in a collection
* Revised look and feel for Word/Excel 2007 (also applies to Word/Excel 2010)
* New Parsers and Improved Right-to-Left support: Arabic, Hebrew, Turkish, German, Finnish, Chinese (Traditional)
* Native Subversion Support: Check files in and out directly from an Apache Subversion repository without a MSSCCAPI connector, and see differences using Word's track changes feature
* Custom Function Enhancements: Support for temporal values and improved natural language syntax.
* Support for self-referential rules, e.g. the person's tax payable = the person's tax payable for the current tax year + for (the prior tax year, the person's tax payable)
* Greater Platform Support: Windows 7 x64, Microsoft Office 2010, .NET Framework 4.0, Oracle VM, Microsoft Visual Studio Team Server 2010
* Enhanced Upgrade wizard: The entity containment and interview screen changes require all existing rulebase projects to be upgraded to the new data model structure.
Please read the release notes, installation guide and security guide included in each media pack for more details.
The release build number is 10.2.0.110.0

1. In the current version, OPM doesn't directly deploy to anything other than local TomCat. You'll need to manually refresh your WebLogic environment with the latest rulebase.
2. I'm not aware of an ADF sample. I assume your goal is to host Web Determinations interviews in an ADF UI?
3. You should use OPA instead of OBR if you need any of the following:
a) Rules in natural language in any of the supported OPA languages (English, Chinese, French, Spanish, Portuguese, etc....)
b) Rules in Word/Excel document format that can be easily shared with business users
c) Interactive interviews for guided decision making, where questions can be automatically generated from rules, and screens are shown only as needed to make progress towards an answer
d) Detailed decision reports of which rules and data were used to reach a decision
e) Productized integration with Siebel or SAP
f) Rich test case development and regression testing capabilities
More generally OPA is very good at determinations. I.e. reaching the one right decision given a set of input data. It is not a good fit for optimization problems where the goal is to seek the best outcome given a series of constraints. It is also good at taking a large set of law/policy documents are managing them as interconnected rules. It is possible to efficiently manage thousands of pages of material as an OPM project.
For ADF development, anywhere you have a process that involves a complex decision step, or a calculation that depends on complicated rules that may change frequently or need good business visibility, OPA is a good choice.

What difference between Oracle 9i AS and orion application server?

Hi:
Today I visited some website and read an information that Oracle 9i AS and orion application server are two differece application server.But When I start Oracle 9i AS ,I must use command of "java -jar orion.jar".Are they the same application server? If not ,can you tell me what difference?
Thanks

Hi Liu,
I'm sure other people will coreect any errors I am about to make
(if I make any :-), but some time ago, Oracle mad a licensing
agreement with a company called IronFlare, regarding IronFlare's
application server product called OrionServer. After that, Oracle
came out with a new product -- Oracle Containers for Java (OC4J)
-- which is based on OrionServer. In the first version (that had
the version number 1.0.2.2), the application server basically came
bundled in the "orion.jar" file, so in order to start up the application
server, you used a command like:
java -jar orion.jar
However, the next version of OC4J (with version number 9.0.2.0.0
[go figure ;-]), contained the "oc4j.jar" file (which replaced
the "orion.jar" file).
So I would say that the first version of OC4J was almost identical
to OrionServer. But I think subsequent versions are becoming more
and more different. Remember that at the same time, OrionServer
is also still being developed. I think the first version of OC4J
was based on version 1.5.2 of OrionServer. The next version of
OrionServer (that should be released soon) is version 1.6.0.
I have no idea how similar the latest version of OrionServer is
to the latest version of OC4J. But if Oracle's history is any
guide, then I would say that, eventually, OC4J and OrionServer
will have very little similarity between them. Just look at the
paths that Oracle's JDeveloper has taken in comparison with Borland's
JBuilder. Originally, JDeveloper was based on JBuilder. Today,
they are two completely different products.
Hope this has helped you.
Good Luck,
Avi.
