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,

Best practice for integrating oracle atg with external web service

Hi All
What is the best practice for integrating oracle atg with external web service? Is it using integration repository or calling the web service directly from the java class using a WS client?
With Thanks & Regards
Abhishek

Using Integration Repository might cause performance overhead based on the operation you are doing, I have never used Integration Repository for 3rd Party integration therefore I am not able to make any comment on this.
Calling directly as a Java Client is an easy approach and you can use ATG component framework to support that by making the endpoint, security credentials etc as configurable properties.
Cheers

Urgent help with discoverer 4i installation

Hi All, I just started working on a discoverer upgrade process. I need help in installing discoverer 4i and them refering to a 10g database. Can any one guide to a reference doc which I may refer to finish the complete install. In other words I need to configure discoverer 4i so that we can do development. I have downloaded the admin, desktop and the 3201601 patch for 4i as well.
Not sure if they dont know it or they are not interested in it.
I have been working as a disco admin and developer for quiet some time now but dont know how to install and do the configuration.
Thanks.

Hi Paul,
I hate to tell you, but you should be implementing Discoverer 10g (10.1.2.x) and not 4i. Discoverer 4i is de-supported and I do not think it was ever certified with 10g database.
Check the following MetaLink note for details.
237607.1 ALERT: Required and Recommended Patch Levels For All Discoverer Versions
One exception, you mentioned an upgrade. That tells me you are likely on version 3. In which case, you would need to install the 4i EUL to migrate from 3 to 4 and then upgrade to 10g. If you don't have much invested in 3, then it might be a good chance to start clean in 10g. In your case, you install the base 3.1.37 Administrator version on your Windows desktop (that old installer requires it to be the first Oracle product installed and in the default home), then apply 3201601 to bring you to 4.1.48.06, then download and apply 4.1.48.08 (3451630 ).
You can then upgrade the 3 EUL to 4, following the Administration Guide, located on OTN: http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/discoverer.html
Then you can do the same with Discoverer 10G Administrator
I'm just the messenger. Good Luck.

Strange Problems with Discoverer Plus 10g

Hello All -
I'm working an exercise to bring an application online which uses Discoverer Plus 10g as its client. This application is located in an area that I don't have access to, so the symptoms I'll describe have been reported to me by users.
1) When users log into Discoverer Plus and it launches, it does so with the iconic menu buttons (located below the pull-down menus) disabled and grayed-out. The users are forced to do all operations using the pull-down menus. This is a problem that is consistent across different PCs.
2) When users do File....Save As.... the "Save Workbook to Database" window opens and the user is unable to modify the filename in the "New name" text field. If the user toggles the "View:" setting at the top of the window, they can then change the filename. This problem has only been reported by 2 users, but it's happening for them consistently.
3) When a user creates a new report using File....New... the Workbook Wizard opens and all is normal until the "Workbook Wizard - Step 2 of 5: Select Items" page appears. On the items tab, the user activates the pull-down list to select the business area they want to use, and the business area name disappears when the users mouses-over it. So the user must click on the blank business area name to continue. This is a problem that is consistent across different PCs.
A number of the users' PCs have two Java versions installed on them like this:
Platform     Product
1.4     1.5.0_14
1.5     1.4.2_16
I had them make sure that 1.5.0_14 is the only one enabled, but that did not remedy any of the above problems.
At this point I don't know what to try next.
All help is greatly appreciated.
Patrick

Try the 1.4.2_06 java version
I suggest you remove other java version and stay with just one.
I do not remember but from some point the java version will use the higher there is and java 1.5 from my experience
is not working with the discoverer so well.

Integrating Oracle EBS with web services which use SAML authentication

Hi,
I have a requirement to invoke web service using PL/SQL from a Custom Form of EBS.
The web Service is configured to use SAML as authentication mechanism.
Coming to question!
1) How do I make my EBS integrate with a SAML provider preferably (Oracle Identity Federation) ?
2) How do i get the SAML token in my PL/SQL and pass it on to the web service?

Hi ,
We have Oracle EBS R12 (12.1.2) with Oracle Database 11gR2 (11.2.0.2) Database on Linux env.
We want to implement Oracle Database Vault 11gR2. We are referring to Note: Integrating Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 with Oracle Database Vault 11gR2 [ID 1091083.1].
Do we need to install Oracle Database 11gR2 (s/w only) again on the Oracle Database Server or can we use the existing Oracle EBS Database 11gR2 Home which is already on 11.2?
Regards,
ThiruAs mentioned in the doc "If your E-Business Suite R12 is already integrated with 11gR2 database, you just need to enable Database Vault 11gR2 & register it with the database as per Task 3", so no installation of ORACLE_HOME is required and you just need to "Register Oracle Database Vault".

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.

Help : Integrating Oracle Composer with ADF Application

Hi All,
I wanted to add to an existing page Oracle Composer.
So here is what I did.
1) Setup webcenter suite so that I can utilize oracle composer.
2) Added the oracle composer fragment i.e <pe:pageCustomizable id="pageCustomizable1"> to the my jspx.
3) Added Form based Authentication to my application.
4) Provided two types of roles. One as admin role and other as basic role,The admin role had edit permission to edit the above mentioned
page.
5) Added a site layer to allow customization done by the admin user to be stored to the custom site layer.
6) Upon doing so my user with admin role is just able to personalize his page and not able to customize the application for other users.
Could some body let me know if i have missed anything.
Regards
Harish

Hi,
there is no native way of doing this - as of yet. There is a work-around documented on this blog: http://www.oratransplant.nl/2007/05/03/published-paper-about-using-oracle-forms-as-web-component/
In Forms 11, Forms will have a JavaScript API allowing you to interact with the page the Applet renders on. This allows you to call out and in to Forms. I think though that the more robust integration point is the Forms Java API on the server

Integrating Oracle Applications with Siteminder for SSO.

We currently have a Oracle Apps implementations with Oracle 9iAS as Application server. We are planning to integrate it in SSO using Netegrity Siteminder.
Please let me know your thoughts on the following
1) Additional softwares or patches needed to be applied at Oracle Application Server level before integrating with Siteminder. Do we need to install Oracle SSO seprately or does it come as part of Oracle 9iAS.
2) Also how will we implement SSO using siteminder without OID.
Any documents on it will help.

The Netegrity Siteminder Webagent will authenticate to some third party, probably the corporate LDAP. Using Oracle SSO (OSSO) is required and a java plugin needs to be customized. See:
Oracle® Application Server Single Sign-On Administrator's Guide
10g Release 2 (10.1.2) < I know different version but doesn't matter
B14078-02
Specifically Chapter - 13 Integrating with Third-Party Access Management Systems. That is a minor task.
Loading OID is a prerequisite and needs to contain the users that will need access to the protected resources in the environment. If it's a small amount of users, manually maintaining OID may not be a big deal utilizing OIDDAS but if it is a large amount, then this effort is a big deal. Big deal meaning a load utilizing the bulkload utility and a custom job that syncronizes the "Corporate LDAP" with OID. Mapping is important. External dependancy with the "Corporate LDAP" folks.
Another couple of important things to consider:
1. The seeded users in OID, such as orcladmin will most likely not be in the "Corporate LDAP" so once Netegrity Simplified Sign On (SSO) comes into play, those users are locked out. Orcladmin is a superuser in OIDDAS. For that reason, server administrators or DBA's that are in OID need to be granted OIDDAS privileges prior to enabling the Netegrity agent to prevent being locked out of that important but sensative tool. Disabling and re-enabling SSO is as simple as editing 2 config files and bouncing a few things though.
2. The OIDDAS Password lockout policy will start locking users after 60 days with no warning unless changed. If oidadmin gets locked, the fix is Note:251354.1. Very important to change the policy since it will be handled by the "Corporate LDAP". Note:251354.1 covers this. Basically using the oidadmin utility, change the "Password Expiry Time" from the default 5184000 to zero "0" which turn off the policy.
The realms that should be protected on the Netegrity policy server are both infrastructure. 7777/oiddas and 7777/sso need to be protected realms on the policy server. If you have a protected application going to mid-tier applications like 7778/discoverer/viewer, they get redirected to the infrastructure 7777/sso because if the directive in mod_osso.conf. Forms will be protected by the 7777/sso realm as well. On the Netegrity Policy Server, unprotected sub-realms can be created under protected realms.
The custom java plugin tells Oracle to trust the "Corporate LDAP" for authentication but authorization can still be performed within OID.
This all sounds difficult but it is really simple. The only part than can get difficult and time consuming is the OID load. Hopefully you get Siteminder DAS access to administer your realms on the Policy server.
Hope this helps! - Ron

Need help with SQL*PLUS!

I have just downloaded Oracle SQL*PLUS 9.2.0.1.0, but I am not able to use it because I do not know the "password", "user name" and "host string". Can anybody please help me with this.
Thanks in advance,
Flo

The username & password are your database username & password. If you don't know these, you'll have to contact your DBA to find out.
The host string is the alias you used when you configured TNS on your machine. Most commonly, this is done by editing the tnsnames.ora file or by using Net8 Easy Config.

Help with Pre Plus turning off and not restarting

I've had my Pre Plus since 2010 without issues until I went to Arizona in April. It turned off by itself and it's never been the same since. I think I've got the cause narrowed down to either overheating and/or prolonged phone/web use. It's warmer now in Portland and the phone turns off more frequently. It's happened every day since April.
The frustrating part is that it won't restart until it cools off. So, if I'm at home, I put it in the freezer to get it restarted faster.
Sometimes, I get the palm/rom message but going through that process hasn't helped.
Also, this happens with the original battery and the extended battery.
Does anyone have a fix or recommendation for this? Thanks!
Post relates to: Pre Plus p100una (AT&T)

Two things to try; most likely you phone actually has an issue and you need to set up at appointment at your nearest apple store ot have it fixed (apple.com/retail) pick whatever store is closest.
However; windows computers often "attack" ipods or iphones thinking they are a virus. You may want to turn off your virus protection and plug the phone in again and try restoring it without any virus stuff on.
However, it sounds as long it's not a software issue but a hardware one and restore won't fix that.

Hi,
I hope you are thinking of Creating a Table with the Same Structure as the remote database Table, If so.
You can create a Table from the Existing Table using CTAS(Create Table as Select).
Provided, you have created a Database Links between the 2 Databases. You can create a
table in your Schema as,
CREATE TABLE local_db_table AS
SELECT * FROM remote_user_name.remote_db_table@dbname;Thanks,
Shankar
