Integrating a forum with custom CMS

I've made a CMS for a client's site. This site allows people
to
register and once they've logged they get access to certain
pages which
the general public can't see. There are different levels of
membership
too, and some pages are only available to the top level.
I'd like to add a forum to the site and wondered whether
anyone had an
experience of integrating a ready-made forum (like phpbb or
vbulletin)
with their own system.
My requirements would be:
I want users to be able to use their existing login to access
the board.
I need restrict certain forums depending the membership level
of the user.
Does anyone have any experience of doing this?
Thanks

If you are going to mix and match and you have hand-coded the
CMS it might be easier to just use the member's database from the
pre-made script.
For example, there are scripts like IP Converge which works
with IP Board that allows you to have restricted areas elsewhere on
your site while accessing the user database of IP Board for the
management. I believe vBulletin has the same type of setup.
I personally use IP Board, but I would also recommend
vBulletin for this job. I have seen plenty of examples where IP
Converge was used and it seems to work fairly easily.

RE: Integrating Discussion Forum with webcenter

Hi,
I have an doubt in integrating Discussion Forum in webcenter. All that is I want to use my Clients users to use discussion service embedded in webcenter. So Anyone please guide me in binding both webcenter and Discussion server to use same LDAP. Kindly please suggest me in terms of any screenshots, tutorials, videos etc.
Regards,
Dinesh Vishnu Kumar.C

Hi Dinesh,
You have to just integrate your domain with external LDAP server using the steps mentioned in the following guide.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/webcenter.1111/e12405/wcadm_security_id_store.htm#BGBHHGEH
Once you done with it, from PS4 onward, discussion server use JSP-based security to authenticate itself from this LDAP based provider. The only thing you have to do in discussion is that you have to add one Administration user in discussion server using the following one procedure:-
a. From the Discussion Server Administration (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/webcenter.1111/e12405/wcadm_security_id_store.htm#BGBGGHEA): As per my experience, you will not be able to access it once you configured external LDDAP provider. Therefore, I prefer to use option-b.
b. Run the WLST command i.e. addDiscussionsServerAdmin

Facing problem when Integration of configurator with ADF application

Hello,
Integration of conifigurator with custom application is not returing to "return_url" after clicking on Finish button in conifgurator.
We have developed a custom ADF application which integrates a configurator.
We have follwed the below url on developing this.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/newtojava/overview/ofm-ebs-blog-postings-096286.html
After completeing the configurator process, but the page is still showing as loading and not returning the return_url parameter mentioned in initialization parameters
So we are unable to get the FacesContext of calling application as it always returns null.
Please hlep on this, it is bit urgent.
Thank you
kali

Hi pankaj,
I tried the approach you suggested, Still it's getting stuck at that point it self, Below is the simple servlet code which is the return_url,
package view;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class configurator extends HttpServlet {
private static final String CONTENT_TYPE = "text/html; charset=UTF-8";
public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException {
super.init(config);
public void service(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException,
IOException {
response.setContentType(CONTENT_TYPE);
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
System.out.println("Hi how are you");
out.println("<html>");
out.println("<head><title>configurator</title></head>");
out.println("<body>");
out.println("<p>The servlet has received a POST or GET. This is the reply.</p>");
out.println("top.location = \"http://localhost:7101//ConfigTest-ViewController-context-root//CheckoutTest.jsp");
out.println("</body></html>");
out.close();
Below is the view source of clock rotating page , where i can't find any thing from the above servlet,

Help needed with Custom Web ADI Integrator for Mail Merge

Hello,
I've created a custom web adi integrator to generate letters to advise of end of probationary periods.
The problem is that at the end of the process when the letter is opened in Word 2007, it only displays one record, and does not allow me to "preview results" and cycle through the records (this part is greyed out). It appears that the letter is not merged with the data spreadsheet although it does display one record from it.
Our EBS version is 12.1.3 and we are using Office 2007.
These are the steps I have followed so far (in brief):
- Create a view to provide data (names, addresses etc).
- Set up a new custom function (similar to seeded function HR Integrator Setup).
- Add the custom function and other functions to Desktop Integration responsibility.
- Add the relevant functions to end user's responsibility menu.
- Add new category "other" to HR_ADI_DOCUMENT_TYPE lookup.
- Create Download Excel Integrator by choosing Desktop Integration -> HR Integrator Setup. Enter "PER" for application and my view for the View Name. Upload.
- Create another Excel document by choosing Desktop Integration -> HR Maintain Form Function Associations, and choose the integrator created above. Enter my custom function name in the generated spreadsheet and upload.
- Define a layout for the new integrator.
- Run the integrator under the end user responsibility and save the resulting spreadsheet, which is full of data as expected.
- Create the letter in Word, using the saved spreadsheet as the data source for the merge. At this point the merge is successful.
- Go to Desktop Integration -> Document Management and upload the Word mail merge document. Associate it with the custom document type created earlier.
- Link this document to my integrator.
- Go in as end user responsibility and run the integrator.
At this point after enabling macros it loads 2 spreadsheets (one full of data) and the Word document, but the Word document only displays one record (approx the 10th in the list - there are about 100 in total). All of the relevant merge-related menu items on the "Mailings" tab are greyed out.
Can anyone offer any pointers please?
I did wonder whether it mattered if I changed the names of documents, e.g when I download and save the resulting spreadsheet full of data which I then use to merge to in the Word Doc, is it OK to call the spreadsheet anything or should it be left as the default name?
Many thanks,
Hazel

Hi Nandhakumar.P,
thanks for your response. Please find the answers below:
- Set up a new custom function (similar to seeded function HR Integrator Setup).
System Administrator -> Application -> Function. Query back the seeded User Function Name = "HR Integrator Setup", make a note of the details, then add a custom function entitled "NTC_HR_LETTERS" with the same details.
- Add the custom function and other functions to Desktop Integration responsibility.
System Administrator -> Application -> Menu. Query back User Menu Name = "Desktop Integration Menu" and add the following functions:
WITHOUT PROMPT
a. HR Integrator Setup
b. HR Maintain Integrator Form Functions
c. HR Disable Integrator
d. HR ADI Document Overwrite Page
e. HR ADI Document Upload Page
f. The custom function created in previous step ("NTC_HR_LETTERS")
WITH PROMPT
g. HR ADI Document Management Page
- Add the relevant functions to end user's responsibility menu.
System Administrator -> Application -> Menu. Query back menu attached to custom responsibility of end user that will perform the action once set up.
Add the following:
a. The custom function "NTC_HR_LETTERS" as created previously (without prompt)
b. Desktop Integration - Create Document (With Prompt. This function will be used to generate letters)
- Add new category "other" to HR_ADI_DOCUMENT_TYPE lookup.
SA_Application Developer -> Application -> Lookups -> Common. Query back Type = HR_ADI_DOCUMENT_TYPE and add a new entry entitled "Other". This document type is later assigned to the Word document I upload and link to the integrator.
I hopoe that answers your questions.
Regards,
Hazel

CUC 8.5 UM integration with Customer's Exchange 2010

Hi Everyone,
Requirement is to integrate CUC 8.5 with customer exchange 2010 for unified messaging solution. Question is does customer need to enable MS-Unfied messaging service in their exchange for cuc integration ?
Rest of the required configurations are understood but only thing need to confirm about UM Service must be enabled on Exchange or not?
Thanks,
Atif Tanveer

No.. you don't need the MS UM stuff.
Exchange UM is basically the telephony interface and storage of voicemail all provided by Exchange.
When you use CUC, it uses Exchange for storing a copy of the voicemails only; it doesn't require any Exchange UM components.

Integrating Oracle Help with Discoverer Plus

Folks -
Has anyone tried integrating Oracle Help with Discoverer Plus. I want to add my customized help (generated in RoboHelp - Oracle) to the help in Discoverer Plus. Is this doable? I don't want to use Oracle Help exclusively unless I need to.

Hi, Johnny.
I think you might have better luck getting your question answered on the forum for Discoverer at Discoverer
I'm not sure whether Discoverer supports extensions, but I would assume that they do in some way. Discoverer ought to provide a standard mechanism for extensions to provide help content.
Hope this helps,

How do I add URI web link with custom tooltip like "CLICK HERE TO UPDATE" instead of URI web link in tooltip.

You've probably found an answer to this by now, but I think this has been addressed in another forum -- The link below suggested using a button and adding the tooltip to the button.

Sounds like it would work but I haven't actually tried it.
Good luck~!

Anyone know how to contact anyone in Verizon headquarters? Since I'm not getting anywhere with Customer Service

I'd like to express how unsatisfied we have been with Verizon on an issue that has been ongoing now since March 14, 2014. It involves an upgrade on one of our lines. After all these months, phone call with customer service, Tech support, and visits to a Verizon stores, I would hope that there are ample notation on our acct but since I've had to explain the situation on a bi-weekly time frame, I would assume that no one has documented any contacts.
We've been with Verizon for few yrs now and I have always been very satisfied with Verizon who, up until now , always provided excellent customer service in their knowledge, concern, and customer satisfaction. But I have to say, every positive outlook I've had with your company has been wiped clean with the worst service we have received in the last few months.
We upgraded my daughter's phone on 03-14-14 with a Samsung Galaxy Mini from an Iphone 4s. Within 24 hrs, the phone failed. After 2 visits to a Verizon store the next day which took 6 hrs, we still had to return the next day to speak to a manager. The 2 stores advised us to make a CLAIM on the defective phone thru our insurance plan with Verizon. A CLAIM on a 24 hr old phone!! A 3rd visit with a manager finally convinced him to replace the phone with another new phone at the store. Within 2 weeks - issues began to occur with the replacement phone. Several visits more, several calls more with Customer Service, several calls more with tech support which adds up to soooo many of our time taken up to simple have temporary "fixes" is outrageous. If I billed Verizon for my time, perhaps the situation would have been resolved more quickly. Each visit lasts approx 2 hrs, each phone call approx 1-1 1/2 hrs. We are talking at least 2x a month for the course of 5 1/2 months. Plus the time it takes to get the phone back to where she needs it - contacts, apps, internet.
Not once were we offered a new phone or replace the phone. Not until today. Replace the phone with the same phone that my daughter has grown to hate. So basically a 3rd phone - same phone. She is not interested in this phone any longer. She dealt with this phone model for far too long.
Today we were offered to replace the phone with same phone, or pay for a refurbished Iphone 4. So basically she would be going back to her original Iphone 4s before the upgraded WITH a cost. So her upgrade was wasted, we'd paid over $200 for a defective phone, and would need to pay for an even older model Iphone 4 and have to pay for it. Why wasn't she offered a different phone within those 30 days after the upgrade and 6 visits?
Every rep at the stores, every rep in tech support would provide a different reason for the issue. Finally, tech support advised not to download apps. WHAT GOOD IS A SMARTPHONE IF YOU CAN'T HAVE APPS??? We are talking about a 20 yrs college student who attends school in another state. Do you know the trouble she has to go thru to visit a store? To find 2 hrs between being a full time student with 2 jobs to sit on the phone with a tech support or go to a Verizon store? Once-ok Twice-maybe BUT for 5 months?
She's not eligible for an upgrade. She will be stuck with a phone that she had grown to hate. And I with customer service which I've grown to hate.
Finally, The Edge. Trying to find a way to make my daughter happy, I spoke with 4 representative today about the Edge. Each rep gave me 4 different information. 1st rep advised Edge phone could not be used on another line so I could not use a line eligible for the Edge and give that phone to my daughter since she isn't eligible for the Edge. 2nd rep advised that although new phone thru edge must be used by same number that it was eligible for, we could use the current phone o that line for my daughter. My son currently has an Iphone 5 and is eligible for the Edge early upgrade. He would not have to return his Iphone 5 so my daughter could use it. However, all the lines would have to go to the More Everything Plan and share the Data between all our phone lines. 3rd rep advised the cost would almost double from our current $358 to go to the More Everything Plan so suggested to have 2 accounts vs just 1. 4th rep advised not every line needs to go the More Everything Plan, we could not keep the current phone, and my daughter could get a replacement phone but same phone or made exception to offer the Edge early upgrade to my daughter but only after we go thru the replacement program because the phone we send to Verizon has to be in good working order/no defects.
After 5 1/2 months, it is now Verizon that is indicating that we have a defective phone and can't accept it thru the Edge program or we would get billed approx $299 for a defective phone. After 5 1/2 months of me calling in about a defective phone that not one rep replaced because they "fixed" the problem ( by the way, a temporary fix is not fixing, if it was fixed I would have made those calls today or writing this email), I am now being told her phone is defective. She advised to get a replacement phone first, return the old phone, activate the new phone, then call in to get the Edge early upgrade. So my daughter would have to do all this, plus add contacts back, apps and whatever else she needs to use her phone just to turn around a couple weeks later and do it all over again with the new phone thru the Edge program. Once again, we are the ones having to be inconvenienced and go thru all these steps. Did I mention she is going to be studying abroad in Italy beginning Nov? So the idea of having to wait 2-3 weeks for a new phone and having only a week or 2 to test the phone to make sure it's working properly before she's out of the country doesn't sound appealing to me. Verizon has made us have a defective phone for 5 months advising it's in good working order after each and every "fix" but Verizon will not accept that phone if returned in the same condition as a phone in good working condition. Do you see the irony in that?
I have reached my limit and after 5 yrs of my brother in law trying to convince us to switch to AT&T where he works in their Corporate Office, I can honestly say I will not be sad to leave Verizon. Especially when one of your reps simply provided me with the contract end dates to provide to AT&T because they offered to buy out our contract. No effort in customer retention what so ever. That was a phone call on Thursday.
And yes, one of your tech reps tried to convince me of all the hassle it would be to switch and time AT&T would take to buy out our contracts but honestly it was the pot calling the kettle. I am not in the position to discuss hassle and time after 5 months of getting that with Verizon. Did I mention it's my brother in law so we would be getting special treatment and no out of pocket expenses to switch. It was my loyalty and satisfaction with Verizon that has kept me from switching all these years. Something Verizon clearly does not appreciate.
So can you guess where I am with confidence that your customer service department is knowledgable about the plans/offers? Where I am that I can trust what I'm being told?
I know this email is confusing and really hard to understand...perhaps now you will know how i've been feeling--lost and confused with all the mis-information, with a hit and miss phone, and out of time with all the 1 1/2 hr to 2 hrs EACH wasted on this issue.
On top of all this, I can't even find out how to file a complaint with anyone higher up than Customer Service.

I hate to tell you this, but you didn't write an email. You wrote a discussion post on the Verizon Wireless Community forum which is a public peer to peer forum. Unfortunately since you didn't mark your post as a question, the VZW reps that roam this community won't ever see your post. Before you re-post it, don't. Duplicate posts get removed from the community.
I see there were several missteps both by the reps and yourself in your post. First you should have insisted on returning the phone within the 14 day return policy period. Second which Samsung Galaxy mini model did you purchase? The S3 mini or the S4 mini? Did you do any research prior to deciding on this device. The reps at that time deflected the easiest course of action, by trying to get you to replace the phone under insurance instead of returning the phone. The Early Edge payment option requires the current phone on the line using the early Edge must be returned to Verizon Wireless. Did you once considered going to a third party site like Swappa to purchase a gently used device for your daughter?

Business Partner Creation ( Master Tenant with Customer Account)

Hello Experts
Am trying to create a master tenant with a customer account, but as i save the business partner there is no corresponding creation of the master tenant with a customer account in the company code. The system only generates a business partner created. I have cheked the settings on business partner customer and have the correct FI custmer acount to the business partner, have also checked settings on the assignment of the reconciliation account to the BP and again it is compatible with the customer reconciliation account in Financials. I have also the synchronization data to see whether the synchronization object is activated, and it was not activated and i activated it, but still am not able to create a master tenant with customer account.
Please Experts help me on this am very very stranded
Regards
David Mavi

Hi David,
Following activities are to be done to create customer simultaneously while the creation of business partner.
Business Partner Number Range: IMG>Flexible Real Estate Management (RE-FX)>Business Partner>Relevant Settings for Business Partner in RE Context>Number Range>Business Partner Number Range
Define Grouping and number range: IMG>Flexible Real Estate Management (RE-FX)>Business Partner>Relevant Settings for Business Partner in RE Context>Number Range>Define Groupings and Assign Number Ranges
Also make sure that the customer account group is created with a number range which should be external. The number range for the business partner should be internal.
Master Data syncronization: IMG>Cross Application Components>Master Data Synchronization>Customer/Vendor Integration>Business Partner Settings>Settings for Customer Integration>Field Assignment for Customer Integration>Assign Keys>Define Number Assignment for Direction of BP to Customer
In the settings select the same number range only if the number ranges for the customer account group and BP groups are the same.
If u have done all these things and still the customer is not getting created then there might be a problem of the mandatory fields. i.e may be in customer account group some fields are mandatory which are not getting copied from the BP. So make all the fields in the customer account group as optional. and try to create new BP again.

Hi Mini,
Thanks a lot for ur replies. But it is not working for me. I am not able to figure out whats going wrong.
My Requirement is to redirect to the first page of my application without asking for the APEX login page from the EBS menu.
So summarizing whatever I steps i have followed:-
(1) Created Profile and function in APPS as given in "apex-ebs-extension-white-paper-345780.pdf"
(2) I created the following package in APPS schema
     CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE APPS.XXAPX_SECURITY_PKG AUTHID DEFINER AS
     FUNCTION generate_hash (
     p_string IN VARCHAR2
     , p_offset IN NUMBER DEFAULT 0) RETURN VARCHAR2;
     FUNCTION validate_hash (
     p_string IN VARCHAR2
     , p_hash IN VARCHAR2
     , p_delay IN NUMBER DEFAULT 5) RETURN BOOLEAN;
     END XXAPX_SECURITY_PKG;
     CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY APPS.XXAPX_SECURITY_PKG AS
     g_key VARCHAR2(100);
     FUNCTION generate_hash (
     p_string IN VARCHAR2
     , p_offset IN NUMBER DEFAULT 0) RETURN VARCHAR2
     IS
     BEGIN
     IF p_string IS NULL THEN RETURN NULL; END IF;
     RETURN RAWTOHEX(UTL_RAW.cast_to_raw(
     DBMS_OBFUSCATION_TOOLKIT.MD5(
          input_string=>p_string||':'||
          TO_CHAR(SYSDATE-(p_offset/24*60*60), 'YYYYMMDD HH24MISS')||g_key)));
     END generate_hash;
     FUNCTION validate_hash (
     p_string IN VARCHAR2
     , p_hash IN VARCHAR2
     , p_delay IN NUMBER DEFAULT 5) RETURN BOOLEAN
     IS
     BEGIN
     FOR i IN 0..p_delay LOOP
     IF p_hash = generate_hash (p_string, i) THEN RETURN TRUE; END IF;
     END LOOP;
     RETURN FALSE;
     END validate_hash;
     BEGIN
     SELECT encrypted_user_password INTO g_key
     FROM FND_USER WHERE user_name = 'SYSADMIN';
     END XXAPX_SECURITY_PKG;
(3) Created a function in the APPS schema:-
     create or replace FUNCTION ebs_authenticate (
     p_username IN VARCHAR2
     , p_password IN VARCHAR2) RETURN BOOLEAN
     AS
     BEGIN
     IF apps.XXAPX_SECURITY_PKG.validate_hash (p_username, p_password) THEN RETURN TRUE; END IF;
     RETURN (apps.FND_WEB_SEC.validate_login (p_username, p_password) = 'Y');
     END ebs_authenticate;
(4) In my authentication scheme of my apex application i have changed it to use custom authentication to use the below function
     return apps.ebs_authenticate
(5) Created a procedure in the APPS schema:-
     create or replace PROCEDURE apps_logon
     IS
     v_username VARCHAR2(100);
     v_password VARCHAR2(32);
     BEGIN
     wfa_sec.getsession(v_username);
     v_password := xxapx_security_pkg.generate_hash(FND_GLOBAL.user_name);
     IF v_password IS NOT NULL THEN
     APEX_CUSTOM_AUTH.login(
          P_UNAME => v_username,
          P_PASSWORD => v_password,
          P_SESSION_ID => v('APP_SESSION'),
          P_APP_PAGE => apex_application.g_flow_id||':38'
     ELSE
     RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(-20001, 'Password is null, session id = '||icx_sec.g_session_id);
     END IF;
     END apps_logon;
(6) In my login page, i have created a process Get Username Cookie and with the process point: onload(Before Header)
     BEGIN
     apps.apps_logon;
     EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN NULL;

Problems signing in to PSE/PRE Forum and Customer Service

Hello-I am presently running PSE/PRE8 on a win8 computer with 12GB memory and1TB HDD. I am searching for information on PSE/PRE12. However, I am having problems with my PW/ID. I understand that Photoshop.com has been eliminated and this is the source of my sign-in problem. I change my PW and the new PW works for a while and it becomes the incorrect PW or User ID. Also,I added a new email address to support email problems. I was sent an email to click a verify link but the link was not included and the email was a noreply. I cannot contact Customer Service because it is sending noreply emails. I was able to signin to the forum during my last visit but was told that I was not eligible to post messages not answer post. I need to be able to reach Customer Service but I preently do not have a method to contact it. Thanks.

Hello Jorma- Thanks for the response however,I cannot locate your response to my "Problems signing in to pse/pre forum and customer Service". I checked the Photoshop Elements forum but I was not able to locate the subject.

Create Document Set with custom Create Only permission set

Here is the situation. We have a requirement where my customer wants to create document sets, however, document set/document level permissions are required.
Setup: We created a new permission level called "Create Only". We then give the user Read and Create only permissions. This allows the user to theoretically create the item. We then run a Workflow on create that Replaces the permissions so that
you are only allowed to view the ones you created along with other security groups based on their choices in the metadata fields.
This setup works PERFECTLY when using a List or Form Library.
However, for the life of me I cannot get it to work for Document Sets. If I have the same setup, I get an Access Denied message. However, it still creates the document set.
What is weird, I've been playing around with custom permission levels and it seems as though the user has to have EDIT permissions at a minimum in order to create the document set. This will not work for me since I dynamically assign permissions to each
document set based on what they select.
As a side note, the only tool I have at my disposal is SharePoint Designer 2010.
Does anyone know if there is an actual requirement to have EDIT permissions when creating a Document Set? Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Alternatively, is there a way to setup permissions on a library for all NT Authenticated users so that we can give them the necessary permissions to create the Document Set, but still prevent them from see the other items and then the Workflow would set
the permissions accordingly?
I believe the more granular the permissions it uses those permissions instead so would this work? I have not tested this theory yet.

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to know if there is an actual requirement to have EDIT permissions when creating a Document Set and is there a way to setup permissions on a library for all NT Authenticated users and prevent
them from seeing items created by others.
For the first question, per my knowledge, if a user is given the Add Items permission, he/she can create a document set in SharePoint.
However, there is an error “access denied” after the document set is created. It is due to the user has no permission to access the page which SharePoint will redirect the user to after finishing creating the document set.
If the user is also given Edit Items permission, there will be no error when he/she create a document set.
For the second question, I recommend to follow the link below to
customize item permissions for each document submitted to a document library and remember to give the
NT Authenticated users contribute permission.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/spke/archive/2010/04/09/configure-item-level-permissions-for-document-libraries-sharepoint-2010-edition.aspx
To grant permission to NT Authenticated users, please refer to the link below:

Help with Java CMS

Hi.
Help me with choice CMS on Java. I've looked at http://java-source.net/open-source/content-managment-systems and decided to use OpenCMS or Magnolia, both are free and with source code available. From CMS I need:
- interface and content internationalization support;
- easy-to-understand source code;
- modules (plugins) support;
- WYSIWYG editor;
- page templtates;
- forum (can be available via modules);
- user management.
I will need to add extra business-specific functionality, though I need a good-designed modules or easy-to-understand source code of CMS to write my own code.
Thank you in advance.

Maybe something like CuteNews may be what you need.
You'll need to google for it, I don't have a direct link.

Integrating mod_plsql reports with Oracle Apps. A maddening dilemma.

I'm hoping there is some guru out there that has the perfect solution to this maddening dilemma I'm facing.
The crux of the issue is this.
I've created mod_plsql reports that can accept a session_id with which they can set a user context based on global application contexts set in Oracle applications by users as they log in.
At this juncture, I have not figured out a way to call those mod_plsql reports from Oracle apps using a variable session_id as defined for the user when they logged into apps.
My client want to be able to log into Oracle apps and then go to the mod_plsql reports from the Oracle Apps menu and maintain the user session, so that the mod_plsql reports are run using VPD to constrain access to the data they are displaying to that specific user.
The client does not have Single Sign On installed nor OID.
I had hoped to pass a variable parameter session_id from the defined menu function that would call the mod_plsql url, but I don't see any way to pass a variable there and am becoming convinced that doing so is not an option. Can anyone confirm this?
An alternate option I'm considering that seems like it would work is to create a JSP page that gets called from a menu function. In that JSP page, I would retrieve the session_id set in apps based on the context for the user_id that I could retrieve from fnd_global.user_id and assemble a URL with the session_id that the page would then re-route to the mod_plsql page.
Unfortunately, I'm not versed in JSP.
How hard would it be to create the sort of page that I'm talking about?
Would the JSP need to part of OAF?
Can anyone think of any other options that would take care of the issue I'm dealing with?
Thanks.
Kurt
