Communicating with a external application through tcp/ip

Hi all,
I have set up a procedure to communicate with a external application. I have used util_tcp to set up this connection. The process I undertake is i send some packets to a remote port XXXX on a particular ip address .
i.e util_tcp.open_connection(host_ip_address,host_port).
I then wait for data coming back, from this external application.
I then close the connection.
All is fine when I execute this procedure from a AIX server, I get all the required packets back.
But when I execute this procedure from a windows server I manage to send packets of data out to the remote port but i can't read data from the port. When i telnet to the remote machine i could see the packets being sent back but i just can't seem to reas the data/packets. the utl_tcp.available is zero. BUT when i run the same procedure from aix server it works fine.
If anyone can help, much appreciated.
thankyou
nahim

Sorry I think I may have not been very clear about what I am asking.
On AIX Server:
Has Oracle Database 8 on it.
-I connect to remote port 7097 - c := utl_tcp.open_connection('XXX.XXX.XXX.XX',7097,null,null,null,null,null,null);
-I send out packets to External App(Schedular) through above connection - li_return_value := utl_tcp.write_line(c, lc_ClientPacket);
-Schedular sends back Packets through above connection
-Oracle Database 8 checks for data on port
utl_tcp.available(c) > 1
-Data is available so start to read data
lc_RawData := UTL_TCP.get_text(c,li_lenOfRawData);
On Windows Server:
Has Oracle Database 9i on it.
-I connect to remote port 7097 - c := utl_tcp.open_connection('XXX.XXX.XXX.XX',7097,null,null,null,null,null,null);
-I send out packets to External App(Schedular) through above connection - li_return_value := utl_tcp.write_line(c, lc_ClientPacket);
-Schedular sends back Packets through above connection
-Oracle Database 8 checks for data on port
utl_tcp.available(c) > 1
- BUT THE DATA IS NOT AVAILABLE so cannot read data. Its as if the packets vanish in thin air or windows is not liking the packets.
When telnet to the remote machine I can see the packets i send going into the port and the packets coming back from sideinwder ready for me to read. But for some reason I can't read.
Its a very odd problem, if the eact same code works from AIX, why not windows. I thought it might be something between Oracle database and windows that needs to be set up. But how can any configuration on the oracle database or the windows platform effect communication on the remote host.
Any ides please help
Thankyou for the help provided so far, much appreciated.

Integration of SSO with Third Party Application

Hello Colleagues,
I have requirement where I have to integrate SSO with a third party application.
After some R & D I found out that there is some one class "SSO2Ticket.java" which can do that or help in verify the ticket.
Since I am new to this area, I am not sure how do I go ahead with the execution of this java file.
Can somebody help me with this.
Also, is there any documents which talks about SSO integration or about the above mentioned JAVA file.
Best regards,
Arvind

Which type of 3rd party application is this, and which SSO authentication methods does it support?
If you can find a common one, then that will be good for you.
Specifically for non-SAP systems re-using the SAP LogonTickets, I know that you can extract the user name from the ticket. I think SAP even provides some verification tools here for external applications to verify the ticket?
Currently there is much excitement about SAML 2.0 which is also worth taking a look into as well.
Cheers,
Julius

Integration embededBI Publisher with JDE 9.1

hello,
I want to do the integration embeded BI Publisher with JDE 9.1
help me please
thanks

I don't think JDeveloper 12c is supported for BSSV development and EnterpriseOne 9.1, I have used JDeveloper 11g. 11.1.1.6.
As far as I know, you can't develop BSSV on E9.1 Demo version. You need complete install.

Vaidya,
Let me rephrase what you are looking for...
1. You dont want to embed the Webdynpro link into the template but would rather embed it as an object
2. You want to run the web dynpro when the WAD page is launched...
This is for 7.0 right..?
As for embedding the web dynpro as an object as opposed to a link ...? any reasons why - is it because you dont want users to see the link in the HTML source ...?
Even if they do - I am not sure how web dynpros work ( rusty on that front ) but then you should get a session ID when you launch the web dynpro right ..? which would obviate any reasons for the users to see the link
Possibly have it included as a button using Javascript ..?
If you want the webdynpro to launch when the WAD runs - then you could have an onload function in javascript that can do the same....

Integrating BI Publisher with ADF- Where is report server?

Hi every body,
I used to work with Oracle Forms and Reports and Oracle Report Server but I am novice in using BI Publisher. I took a look at the following documents http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/vohra-jdev-xmlpub.html about integrating JDeveloper and XML Publisher and it was very useful but I have a conceptual question regarding comparison between BI Publisher and Oracle Report Server. It seems that in this integration, application server is responsible for running reports and it is not possible to use a different server for running reports as we were able to do in the old architecture using Oracle Report Server by just calling a url to run a report. Is it possible for BI Publisher to play a report server role ? Is it possible to put the load of running a report on another server using oracle bi publisher (which sometimes is absolutely necessary in enterprise applications).
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Navid

The easiest route is to pull out the jar files and build some code to call the xml publisher api's. At valspar were running the BI Publisher from oracle portal because of heavy front-end customization (otherwise we would have setup enterprise). It's working extremely well for us!
Pull out the jar files and gitty up. Remeber oracle has two sets of jar files and I have complained and logged a tar about this because the jar files in 11i vs enterprise have key differences is the xdocore.jar's.
Lexicals are handeled differently for enterprise vs. 11i. Take the enterprise version. Also, keep in mind, There is a bug in the enterprise because the XML trully doesn't group in a data template. The api's in 11i group, but the only group if the data is sorted as well another bug ( I would Log a tar, but kevin is too much of a pain the ass to deal with).
Finally, Oracle is not going to support once you pull out the jar files. On top of that, they won't support you in 11i, even if you are using documentated oracle api's.
If it's in 11i don't let kevin give you a hard time. He's extremely difficult and kind of douche if you ask me. That is the number one disadvantage of using the java api's, kevin and support won't help you.
Good Luck!

Integrating log on with 3rd party application

Hello friends,
I have developed a java web page which basically fetches the data from oracle application tables(simple employee information). Now I also want to insert some information into the apps tables(using the APIS) and before they try to change any data they should be logged into the oracle apps.
In this scenario when the user wants to change the data they just click on the Login button on the web page which will be available on this developed page. Now I want this login mechanism to be integrated with the E-business suite. Are there any apis to which I can pass the username and pwd information and which can validate the user credentials and then allow the update to be done.
Please note the data that I will be changing will be done in custom tables only. Basically I want to integrate the logging mechanism with the E-biz suite login credentials.
Can some one help. We are using 11.5.9 instance.
Thanks

Hi,
for what its worth I would push back on this to your end user, I have invoices interfaced in 'real time' from an exchange hub, but I only process them through the API in batch.
Unless they are 100% perfect it is more efficient to work in batches with invoices.
And unless the end users are 100% efficient I do not see what difference once a day makes - isn't that pretty much what they get with paper invoices by post, but without the 1 - 2 day delay...
regards,
Robert.

Integration of SAP with 2nd party application in VB

Dear All,
We have a requirement in which we have to take data from an application made in VB with two different databases as MS SQL Server and other database as Oracle. i.e. we have to club the data from these two databases in our SAP database which it self has MS SQL.
Now the problem is that we cant make use of XI or BC or any 3rd party s/w. We have to use standard SAP and its functionality like RFC or IDOCs or etc.
So what suggestions can the expert forum members give to achieve this task ?
A quick response is highly appreciable.
Kindly be a bit elaborative in your appraoch.
Points will surely be rewarded.
Thanks,
Saurabh.

Integrating BI Publisher 11.1.1.5 with Enterprise Manager 12.1.0.1 - Different host

BI Publisher 11.1.1.5 is installed in Host A and Enterprise Manager 12.1.0.1 is installed in Host B.
All the samples and steps given in the oracle doc explains how to integrate them if they are in the same host.
./configureBIP
But how to integrate them if they are on different hosts?

Hi Anandh,
Bi publisher cannot be integrated with EM 12c is its running on a different host
Below are the scenarios
For Standalone OMS setup
BI Publisher can only be installed only on the 12c OMS host in case of standalone OMS setup
For multi oms setup
BI Publisher can only be installed only on the Primary OMS in a Multi-OMS setup.

INTEGRATING PUBLISHER WITH OBI EE SECURITY USING LDAP

Hi !
Just learned about how integrating BI Publisher with OBI EE Security had to be set. (SA SYSTEM blah blah blah)
My question is : what if my OBI EE security is already based on LDAP server ? How do I manually insert user logon in SA_USER as I'm supposed to do ? No way...any turnaround ? Should I base my BI PUB security on the LDAP server ?
Thanks in advance
Yannis

Hi,
I too have the same question.
Could you please let us know whether using "Oracle BI server" security model in BIP would address the SSO between Oracle BI and BI Publisher when BI uses LDAP authentication?
Also I am facing some issues in setting up BI security in BIP.
The issue is that, when logged into BIP as Administartor, Roles and Permissions tab of Admin displays only two roles namely "Administrator" and "XMLP_TEMPLATE_ONLINE".
SA subject area is also set.
Could you please let me know your thoughts on the same?
Thanks in Advance.

How do you pass an ActiveX Variant from an external application to LabVIEW?

Background: I created a LabVIEW ActiveX server. I can access it with my external application (Matlab). I have a control variable in my LabVIEW executable. I want to use Active X to set the value of my control variable from my external application.
Documentation: The only reference in the documentation for this task is in the Using ActiveX with LabVIEW in the LabVIEW 2009 help. It simply says "Use the variant control and indicator to pass data to or from ActiveX controls." I also went through all the ActiveX examples in the example finder and did not find any vis that passed variables using ActiveX.
Questions:
What should my control variable look like in LabVIEW? Should it be a refnum, a variant, or a data type? Does it have to be wired to a vi connector?
Do I need to do any magic on this variable, such as change its properties?
How do I pass the value from my external application to the variable in my LabVIEW executable?
Thank you.

Hello Lyn,
The control variable should be a refnum and it would have to be wired to Automation Open with the correct reference.
Here are some great examples of using ActiveX Server in LabVIEW

XML publisher with Rightfax

Greetings -
We currently have a software called Rightfax which can take any input file and send the file to a fax number or email based on the "FCL code" embedded within the input file.
Does anyone here have any experience integrating XML publisher with a third party fax tool like Rightfax? Please share any ideas/thoughts.
Thanks,
T.R. Srikanth

We cut a PO this morning for STR AventX. I got an email from STR tech support saying they were ready when I was, I got back to them mid-afternoon and set up a VPN connection for them, they logged in at 4:14:33 pm, I received a Fax from them at 5:59:11, actually from the new fax server saying AventX Unix is completely installed, it also sent me an email. They gave me instructions for setting up the XMLP Template, and I guess we are almost ready to send a fax. I will let you all know how that turns out.
BTW, There was a third party product that claimed they would get rightfax to work... I am pretty sure they can but it envolved buying another product and our management was getting upset with the Rightfax approach of selling us more addons and them not working.
After our Procurement Manager saw the Web Demo of AventX there was no way she was going to be satisfied with Rightfax.

Integration of external applications with E- Recruitment Business Package

Hello All,
We are planning for an implementation on E-Recruitment Business Package on EP.
We need to know whether it is possible in addition to E- Recruitment features provided we would be able to Integrate custom created/ external applications like ID Card creation of employee etc.
Do let us know about the feasibility of this scenario.
Thanks & Regards,
Shailesh.

Hello Shailesh
You are refering to which external applications ? are they from ECC or third party?
If you develope custom applicatios in webdynpro/bsp in back end you can easily integrate it in EREC business package on portal.
