Interfacing to oracle 11i e-business suite from external applications

I would like to send and receive data interactively from an external application to Oracle e-business suite 11i. Can you please point to me the API's or any other starting points. (Comparable to SAP's ALE..via BAPI's, IDOC's etc.)

Thanks to previous responder for tip regarding JDK/JRE anchor strings. I'm not sure if that is a problem. After letting the install process (java.exe) run for over an hour, I finally got past the InstantiateFile step. It looks like the process just takes a long time with no visible progress sometimes. After 5-6 hrs, it looked like the install succeeded (for the most part). There were still some errors in the error logs related to the Concurrent Manager (TNS-12541: TNS:no listener) I believe. If anyone has insight on what this error msg means, I would greatly appreciate a reply.
The other problem I am tackling right now is how to explicitly set the Forms processing mode to HTTP rather than the default socket mode. According to the 11i docs (and Forms Developer 6i docs), you should only have to set "connectMode=HTTP" in the config file, appsweb.cfg, to make this happen. However, when I try bringing up a client form, the form hangs. So, obviously, something is amiss. A related question is whether one can run Forms in only HTTP mode and not HTTPS (and thus avoid having to install SSL). I would greatly appreciate any insight from fellow users.

Oracle 11i E-Business Suite Installation on Windows fails

All you Oracle 11i gurus out there, please HELP as I am at my wit's end.
I am trying to install Oracle 11i E-Business Suite (downloaded from the edelivery Website) on Windows 2003 Server with dual PIII CPU, 1GB RAM, and 150GB+ disk space.
My Oracle 11i install on Windows has been failing during Step 1 of 5 following the process of unpacking the 114 zipfiles for the 9.2.0 database even though all the diagnostic steps passed.
It appears the install is failing on the following step:
InstantiateFile -d d:\oracle\visdb\9.2.0\appsutil\driver\instconf.drv
I have MKS Toolkit installed on C:\MKS and VC++ installed on C:\MVS\VC98.
I have renamed make.exe to gnumake.exe in the C:\MKS\mksnt folder and copied the linker (link.exe) from C:\MVS\VC98\bin to the C:\Windows\System32 folder.
The InstantiateFile step is executing some Java classes. I have also installed the JRE on C:\jre1.5.0_06, although it's doubtful this will impact the install scripts since the scripts are all hardcoded with the included JRE 1.4.2.
Why do Oracle DBAs and users deal with this crap? A software install should not be this difficult.
Thanks in advance.

Has anybody used JDev 10g to write an extension to 11i e-business suite?

We are looking to develop an application that can be called from within the menu structure of the 11i e-business suite and would like to use JDeveloper 10g.
I have read that the OA Extension for JDev 9 can be used for this, but I've also read that this OA extension has been replaced by ADF in 10g. Can we use ADF to obtain values such as user_id, responsibility_id, org_id from 11i?
Failing that, seeing as this is the only information from 11i that we will need in the new application, can we just pass these values in as parameters when initially calling the application?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as we cannot find ANY documentation detailing how to link ADF into 11i.

Just to clarify OAF is not ADF.
e-Business is based on OAF right now, and the fusion generation of Applications will be based on ADF.
While OAF uses UIX and BC4J (an early version of ADF BC) it is not the same as ADF.
If you want to use OAF you better ask the question on the OAF forum on OTN.
for ADF development you should use JDeveloper 10.1.3. ADF first appeared in JDeveloper 9.0.5 but things had evolved a lot since then.

Can't ssh to Oracle Database (E-business SUite 11.5.10.2)

Hi,
Time to time I've noticing server froze.Can't ssh to Oracle Database (E-business Suite).
Please advice is any one has similar situation
OS=RHEL 4.4
DB=10.2.0.3
Ebis=11.5.10.2

Hi,
Time to time I've noticing server froze.You should find more details about this behavior in the server logs -- Your System Administrator should help here!
Can't ssh to Oracle Database (E-business Suite).This is an expected behavior if the server hangs. Can you find any errors in the database log file? Do you have sufficient space at the OS level? I believe this is not a ssh issue as it is more likely a Hardware/OS issue.

Where can I download Oracle R12 E Business Suite essential

Hello all, please help locate where l can download Oracle R12 E Business Suite essential

If it is available, it will probably be through http://edelivery.oracle.com That is where Oracle puts pretty much all their downloadable software. The other place is usually the Download link on http://otn.oracle.com
The last time I tried installing eBusiness Suite, it was a 'significant' task. Youmight be better off asking Oracle to arrange for a trial. IIRC, they are usually hosted, so you can get the experience of the application without the admin/tech learning curve up front.

How to stop vdbench from external applications? What are the impacts?

I am using vdbench to test following scenario:
1) Start vdbench - do read/write (I use poweshell start-process to start vdbench which returns me the process object )
2) Poll for particualr system event(my test condtion). When the event happens stop read/write ASAP(To stop the process I use powershell Stop-process and pass process object as the argument. This actually stops IO as seen task manger)
3) Continue testing
I want to understand
1) Are the steps followed correct?
2) What is the correct method to stop vdbench from external application?
Regards
Jugari

An other thought, that maybe is of interest to you, coming in the next version of Vdbench.
A conversation with one of my internal users:
It does not make sense to look at current Vdbench output trying to figure out what is happening when.
This locks us in to tricks and guessing and prevents me from make changes to the output.
Monday I will create a new file in Vdbench: status.html
This file will only be there for any kind of wrappers to see what is going on.
I'll make sure that the file contents are flushed to the file system as soon as a line of text has been written.
* Vdbench status
* The objective of this file is to contain easily parseable information about the current state of Vdbench.
* This then can serve as an 'official' interface for any software monitoring Vdbench.
* Each line of output will be immediately flushed to the file system, making its content accessible by any monitoring program.
* The values below are all tab-delimited.

URL based portlet from external application

Hello,
I'm trying to integrate a forms 6i patch 10 application into SSO.
First, I created an external application, passing it the correct parameters.
Everything went ok, and I can successfully call it by entering
"Administer Enternal Application" link on Oracle Portal.
Now I want to make a portlet from this external application. For that I'm
using PDK URL Services. So I reused the urlexternalauth provider which is
included in the latest PDK. The provider.xml is included below. I successfully
registered the provider, by following the wizard "Register Portlet Provider" on
Oracle Portal. But when I call the portlet, the html startup file for the form
is base.htm. When I call the external application through the "Administer Enternal Application" link,
I get the right html startup file, which is basejini.htm.
So I need basejini.htm called from the portlet, and not base.htm.
Thanks,
Andri.

Andrea,
Could you tell me if FORMS 6i authentication process is based on cookies? The reason being, URL based portlets SSO feature is primarily driven by External Application's cookies, which act as authentication tokens. Once a valid user information is submitted to the External Application, cookies (if any) are received and stored so that they can be re-used in further connections. A typical flow of events can be summarized as follows :
At provider level :
1. Connect to External Application.
2. Submit user information to url specified by External Application's login URL.
3. Fetch cookies
4. Store them for future use.
At portlet level :
1. Read cookies fetched through provider, pertaining to this portlet.
2. Open connection to url specified by <pageUrl> tag in provider.xml
3. Read content and display in the portlet.
From the provider.xml, I can see that we are trying to show content given by http://venezuela.rjo.br.odebrecht.com:7780/servlet/f60servlet servlet, which has two parameters called {config and database}. This makes the resulting URL as http://venezuela.rjo.br.odebrecht.com:7780/servlet/f60servlet?config=icorp&database=venezula. I guess when this URL is accessed directly, FORMS servlet will redirect the user to base.htm file. Important point to note here is that when URL based portlet makes connection to the above URL, user information is not directly sent along with the request. Instead, cookies fetched from External Application, if any, are sent. But when the same application is viewed through portal's External Application, user information is directly submitted to the login URL. So, before deciding on something, it is important to know how different is the loginURL specified through portal's External Application details, from <pageUrl> of URL based portlets?

How to read xml reports from external application

Hi All,
I want to generate reports from SIEBEL Database and access those reports from external application(like BlackBerry application). I have gone through by some blogs and found that we can access the generated reports from an external application using the URL.
