Integrating Oracle Apex with Oracle eBusiness Suite

Hi All,
Can someone give me details about how we can integrate Oracle Apex with eBusiness Suite. We have few custom forms/ reports which are being developed in Apex. We want to register these in oracle applications as standard functions and link them to user responsibilities. Is it a good idea to create ApEx as separate application or can we use an existing application (like OM).
Any pointers, references, documents with reference to this would be very useful.
Thanks in advance.

Integration of Oracle Apex with EBS R12.1.1

Dear All,
We are in process of integrating Oracle Apex 4.0.2 with EBS R12.1.1 with the help of http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex/apex-ebs-wp-cabot-consulting-169064.pdf.
After doing all the steps, the moment when we navigate from EBS application to Apex application by clicking on the EBS menu link it ends up with below error
"404 Not Found
Resource /OA_HTML/null/pls/apex/f not found on this server"
After some analysis i found the below code in "LaunchApex.jsp" for getting the profile value (supposed to be 'http://myserver:port') from custom system profile "APEX_HTTP_SERVER" and prefixing to "/apex/f?p=applicationid:page::APPS:::" is not happening properly
String l_launcher = ctx.getProfileStore().getProfile("APEX_HTTP_SERVER");
l_launcher = l_launcher + "/apex/f?p=" + p_application + ":" + p_page;
l_launcher = l_launcher + "::APPS:::" + p_item_names + ":" + p_item_values;
as we found that the custom system profile "APEX_HTTP_SERVER" not exist in EBS system. But it works without any page error if we hard code the entire apex application URL in l_launcher variable, but this takes us to EBS login page instead of Apex application page.
So i feel we can't bypass using profile value from "APEX_HTTP_SERVER" as it has some relation with EBS application session.
So could anyone please help me how we could create custom system profile "APEX_HTTP_SERVER" or any other options to make the seamless integration of Oracle apex with EBS works without any second login page
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Create a profile under Application Developer Responsibility as follow:
Name OAE_LAUNCHER
Application <whatever>
User Profile Name Oracle Application Express Launcher
Description Oracle Application Express Launcher
2. Set above profile value under System Administrator Responsibility -> Profile -> System, and search for the ‘OAE_LAUNCHER’.
Set the value at Site Level as:
http://<hostname>:<Apex port>/pls/apex
Then instead of hardcoding the URL in the jsp, just give the profile name OAE_LAUNCHER that you have just created in the jsp.
Hope this helps you

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

Oracle VM with Oracle E-business suite Release 12.1.1

Hi
We are migrating our Oracle E-business suite from IBM Power 5 AIX 6.1. to OVM Intel (x86_64) bit, we have tested the migration in our test environment. We want to know how good or bad is OVM with oracle e-business suite in production environment, and if anybody is working on production environment with the similar configuration in Production environment then please share your experience with us
Thank you
Regards
Shahrukh Yasin

Hi Sharukh,
Virtualization of course the trend in modern era, and I personally advice you to have a thorough testing on performance and specifically simulate workloads and check the behavior. I don't personally go on to support Virtualization on Production environment as it incurs additional cost like CPU usage, memory usage borrowed by other environment being virtualized. And as it does not directly work with the hardware. May be some will be against this point, but I see as if it incurs additional resources. Being said this, I am not completely against Virtualizationas long as it is not a heavy 24/7 environment. I would go on to support the ideology, saying it's best to choose the right technology to right environment.

Oracle Timesten with oracle apex

I use Oracle 11gr2 and apex 4.2.4 how can i use oracle timesten with oracle apex?
I want to use timesten to improve performance on report by adding two tables to oracle timsten.

As far as I am aware, recent (11g onwards) releases of Oracle Heterogenous services do not work with TimesTen as they now require an OBC 3.x driver and the TimesTen driver is currently 2.0. Even if they did work, this would not be a useful solution. It might allow Apex to access TimesTen after a fashion (though that is far from certain) but the performance would be very poor due to all the network hops and software layers between the application and TimesTen.
If you put one or two tables in TimesTen then one problem from an Apex perspective is that it is now dealing with two databases; the TimesTen cache containing two tables and the oracle database containing all the other tables. Is Apex designed to cope with this? Does it have the concept of data located in multiple databases where one of them is not the Oracle database? Also, do you need transactions or queries (joins) that span the TimesTen tables and the tables in Oracle DB? If so then this also will not work as that is not possible today.
I have to say that as far as Apex goes I think this is likely a non-starter. However, if you do try it and have any success then please do post the results here as we'd be interested to hear about it.

Error while integrating E-biz with Oracle B2B

I am trying to integrate Oracle apps with Oracle B2B. I have updated Transport Server Details : XML Gateway Inbound/XML Gateway Outbound with IP,user name,password and Sid. Then created an agreement with Internal Delivery Channel as XML Gateway Outbound and Responding Internal Delivery Channel as XML Gateway Inbound. But while validating the agreement it is showing an error as given below.
AIP-16222: The transport parameter XML Gateway Inbound of trading partner ABC-Host must have no more than one protocol endpoint.
AIP-16222: The transport parameter XML Gateway Outbound of trading partner ABC-Host must have no more than one protocol endpoint.
I can see the transport parameter XML Gateway Outbound has an endpoint b2b.ECX_OUTBOUND and transport parameter XML Gateway Inbound has an endpoint b2b.ECX_INBOUND. I have not done any other setting/configurations. Is there anything else to be done?
Edited by: user11128475 on May 4, 2009 8:47 PM

Protocol end-point and general end-point are two different things. Protocol end point is combination of IP, Port and End-point for a particular protocol.
Generally this problem comes in delivery channel configuration. Make sure you are using the existing transport server configuration in case same IP and port is to be given in the configuration of new IDC for same protocol.
It does not mean that you cannot use different end points. Still you can use different end points with existing transport server configuration.

How to integrate oracle webcenter with oracle webcenter Sites?

How to integrate oracle webcenter with oracle webcenter Sites?

This very much depends on what you mean by the first "oracle webcenter" and what kind of integration you are looking for.
Oracle WebCenter contains three main product lines:
- Oracle WebCenter Portal,
- Oracle WebCenter Sites,
- and Oracle WebCenter Content.
Since the newest version 11.1.1.8 it is possible to store Sites' assets in WebCenter Content.
WebCenter Portal, where the name WebCenter originated from, is another front-end technology, so it would rather co-exist next to Sites than integrate with them. See this thread WebCenter Portal and WebCenter Sites Integration for more details.

Problem in Integration of Apex with R12

Hello,
I followed the paper apex-ebs-extension-white-paper-345780.pdf to do Integration of Apex with R12. but stuck on one step.
I am done with all the steps in R12. Now if i click the menu in R12, its going to my existing Apex aplication but still asking username and password.
Can anyone help me out in what exactly I need to change in Apex Authentication scheme in Apex. Right now I am using Authentication scheme as Application Express.
Please help me out
Thanks in advance

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;
     END;
Now I am getting this error with the login page :-
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small Content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Set-Cookie: WWV_CUSTOM-F_1120314105059329_811=B4134623EB436033; path=/; Location: f?CallFromForm='Y'&p=811:38
Please help me figure out the problem as I am struggling a lot with this from last few days :(
Thanks in advance.

Oracle Apex to Oracle Apps Forms migration

Is it possible to migrate a form exsisting in Oracle Apex to Oracle apps forms?If so pl tell me how this could be achieved.

Hey men!!
In my opinio in not posible because in oracle Apex you have another kind of programming, and in Oracle forms you others type of tools for example: triggers, I said isn'tr posible because there isn't a tool or an application that can help you in convert from Apex to Form, it's very extrange circumstance.
This is posible but... you have to program, typing and all of anything for converting to Oracle Form if you don't want to do anything you have to pay someone for developing that ,
in others words you have/must (to) start from the beginning,
from zero.
Unfortunately today there is not application that can let you do that.
I hope this helps,
Best Regards my buddy.

Oracle Text with Oracle TimesTen

Hi!
I'm trying to use Oracle Text with Oracle TimesTen In-Memory. In this customer, we are using Oracle Text to index the names of the company clients. There are about 13 million names to index. We're trying to speed up even more the search using Oracle TimesTen.
Does anybody as any experience using simultanely this two technologies?
Thanks in advance
Tiago Soares

TimesTen doesn't support the CONTEXT indextype or CONTAINS clause (or other domain indexes/operators), so you can't create Oracle Text indexes in it.
