Then we have followed the integration process suggested from oracle below.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex/learnmore/apex-ebs-extension-white-paper-345780.pdf (Author: David Peake)
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex/apex-ebs-wp-cabot-consulting-169064.pdf
While configuring neither APPS nor APEX showing error, but while launching APEX pages (clicking Menues created in Oracle APPS) its showing error “An error occurred when trying to perform the specified action”.
Really the APEX, EBS integration has succeeded following the steps mentioned in the above provided links ??????
Please suggest
Thanks Raj

Hi,
I think the easiest way to do this is to create a form function that launches the workbook. Then call the form function from the button on the screen. This will work in a similar way to calling the workbook from a menu item. This will not work if you want to pass parameters contained in the form to the Discoverer workbook.

Calling Apex page from Oracle Forms

Hi,
I haven't managed to find a similar thread anywhere.
I would like to call an apex page from a form. The page is in an app that requires authetication.
I can able to open the page by using web.show_document but that only takes me to the login page.
How can I overpass the authentication by passing somehow the username and password?
Is there any similar or easier way to do what I am after?
Many thanks

Hi,
You could try the BRANCH_TO_PAGE_ACCEPT URL functionality. There are a few threads on this subject - for example: Re: authentication with credentials from another domain? I haven't used this myself, but if you do a search on the forum for this, you may find other threads that can help.

Launching a page from Oracle Applications (E-Business Suite) 11i

I have been trying to get a page in an APEX application to authenticate automatically from a menu function in Apps. I have been working from these instructions:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/pdf/Extend_Oracle_Applications_11i.pdf
I have created the procedures, functions etc as required and have set up the menu entry in apps. However, whenever I try to launch the application, the e-business suite login page is shown. The page doesn't display an error however the URL has the following:
http://MYHOST:MYPORT/OA_HTML/AppsLocalLogin.jsp?requestUrl=APPSHOMEPAGE&cancelUrl=http%3A%2F%MYHOST%3AMYPORT%2Foa_servlets%2Foracle.apps.fnd.sso.AppsLogin&langCode=US&errText=Invalid+Function.++Please+contact+the+System+Administrator.+Please+login+again.&username=MYUSERNAME&s1=DqwnJQDrCfPsNs0fP7nn-g..I have ommitted some info such as the host and port for security reasons.
I have tried several things such as editing out parts of the authentication procedure and passwing with no parameters but none work. Has anyone else successfully done this and if so, do youhave any pointers?
Any help would be much appreciated!
Cheers,

I've searched metalink for info on this however everything seems to point to simply having the user type in their username and password. I need to be able to seamlessly pass the credentials across from apps to apex.
Anyone an ideas!? :)
Thanks

Calling APEX form with dynamic parameters from Oracle Apps 11.5.8

I have successfully managed to setup access to APEX forms from Oracle Apps 11.5.8 menus utilising Form Functions passing a number of hardcoded parameter values as outlined in the document, http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/pdf/Extend_Oracle_Applications_11i.pdf.
I am now trying to ZOOM from an Oracle Form passing values of form items (dynamic parameters) to an APEX form. I have so far not been able to do this.
I've also tried using;
web.show_document('http://derep.obup.co.uk:4657/pls/apex/f?p=100:1::::::p1_cust_account_id:'||name_in('ast_cu_act.account_id')||':', '_TOP');
but this prompts for a username/password again as this bypasses the APEX Launch process that is defined in my Form Function.
Is this possible in the parameters section of Form Functions? or elsewhere.

Naeem

Hi Daan
We do havea couple of customers doing this, they have taken two approaches:
1. Install XMLP on a separate server entirely - kick off conc request to extract data and then use Java Messaging Service (JMS) to push the resulting XML to the external server where they are using AQ to set up jobs for the XMLP server to work through, generating and delivering the final documents.
2. Set XMLP up as a virtual printer - here the conc request again generates XML but this time the result is directed to a virtual printer namely XMLP. There is a perl or similar wrapper that gets called as the printer and accepts the data, template, output format and delivery destination as parameters.
Apologies for the 10,000 feet overview, hope it helps. Tim

Deploy customised pages in oracle Apps

Hi ,
I have made some changes in Html pages using jDeveloper. now i want to deploy this customised page in Oracle Apps.
How can i do it.
1) where should i run "jpximport" batch file.
2) where should i run "XMLImporter" class file.
Regards,
Deepak

You can use the script below from MS DOS prompt (Client Machine).
import D:\JDevOAExt\jdevhome\jdev\myprojects\xxxx\oracle\apps\qot\search\webui -includeSubpackages -validate -rootdir D:\JDevOAExt\jdevhome\jdev\myprojects -mmddir D:\JDevOAExt\jdevhome\jdev\myhtml\OA_HTML\jrad -userId 1 -username apps -password apps -dbconnection "(description = (address_list = (address = (community = tcp.world)(protocol = tcp)(host =xxxx)(port =1521)))(connect_data = (sid = xxxx)))" -jdk13
Replace XXXX with your values. This should be run from jdevbin/jdev/bin Directory.
I have been using this for quite a while and no issues so far.
I have not used jpximport, but this also should be similar to xmlimport.
Hope this helps.

I can't download Pages from Mac App Store

I have been having some trouble in dowloading Page from Mac App Store.
I had dowloaded and used before, but recently I reinstalled the Mac OS.
When the download reachs amost 10MB, it restarts a few times and gives me the message: "Pages failed to download. Use the Purchases page to try again."
I tried both two following methods:
1 - open $TMPDIR/../C* and deleted com.apple.appstore
2 - Quit App Store.
Open Terminal.
Execute this: defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true
Launch App Store.
At the Menu bar, there should be a "Debug".
Click on that and press "Reset Application"
Restart App Store.
But none of them worked for me.
Can anyone help me?
Cheers.

Please test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
Rebuild the Spotlight index. If you try to search now from the magnifying-glass icon in the top right corner of the display, there will be an indication that indexing is in progress.
Step 2
Unlock the Network preference pane, if necessary, by clicking the lock icon in the lower left corner and entering your password. Cllck Advanced, open the DNS tab, and change the server addresses to the following:
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
That's Google DNS. Click OK, then Apply.

CSD_RULE_MATCH_FAILED-calling service request api from oracle apps adapter

We are doing integration between Siebel and Oracle Apps. When a service request is created on Siebel we are passing that in Oracle Apps using Oracle Apps adapter which is calling a custom API which is doing all the validations and in turn is calling a public api for service request creation. There are two types of service requests - Field Service and Depot Repair. For Field Service we are able to successfully insert the data on Oracle Apps, but for Depot Repair we are getting an error 'CSD CSD_RULE_MATCH_FAILED' from the standard API.
We have checked the setup and found it is proper. We invoked the pl/sql API from sql developer and we are able to insert the data. So we are facing this issue only when calling the api from oracle apps adapter.
In the invoke call we have set these properties -
jca.apps.RespApplication
jca.apps.Responsibility
jca.apps.Username
Based on our analysis till now it is looking like a security context setup issue, but we are not really sure what properties to set.
Any help in getting this through will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Shantanu

Hi Vijay,
We have created the apps adapter with default settings as 'apps' user and set the properties Responsibility, RespApplication, Username of <invoke>. Other than that no other settings has been changed.
Are we missing anything?
This adapter is able to hit the database in case of 'Field Service' but it is failing for 'Depot Repair'.

Hello All,
If we want to find table name against oracle forms in apps . then we can find it from help -> Diagnostics -> examine .But how we will find table name used against HTML Page in oracle apps?
Thanks..

Hi,
It should be in the "About This Page" link -- See these thread for details.
RECORD HISTORY (or) WHO COLUMNS in R12???
RECORD HISTORY (or) WHO COLUMNS in R12???
An alternative would be opening the page in JDeveloper and viewing the source code.

Launch Discoverer 10g from Oracle Applications Menu

Please provide steps to launch Discoverer 10g from Oracle applications menu.
Thanks in advance.
suresh

Hi,
Follow these steps....
The process is in 3 stages _(stage 1 will be done only once for all the reports)._
Stage 1:
Set the application discoverer relevant parameters.
Perform this stage only once.
1.1 Enter the application in System Administrator responsibility.
1.2 Choose menu 'Profile' and then submenu 'System'.
1.3 Find the desired profile by filling 'Icx%Discoverer%' and press Find button.
1.4 Fill the fields (only the values) as described in the table of values bellow.
Parameter Value
ICX: Discoverer Default End User Layer Schema Prefix your eul name without the suffix (_US).
note that if you have several invs it can be diffrent between them.
ICX: Discoverer End User Layer Language Override American English
ICX: Discoverer Launcher http://your_server_name:7777/discoverer/viewer?Connect=[APPS_SECURE]
ICX: Discoverer Release 10 or any other that you are using
ICX: Discoverer Viewer Launcher http://your_server_name:7777/discoverer/viewer?Connect=[APPS_SECURE]
ICX: Discoverer use Viewer Yes (or not if you want plus to open - but change the viewer to plus in the link as well - the previos parameter)
Don't forget to press save button.
Stage 1 Ends.
Stage 2:
Build an oracle application function for each discoverer report.
Perform this stage for each report.
2.1 Enter the application in System Administrator responsibility.
2.2 Choose menu 'Application' and then submenu 'Function'.
2.3 Fill needed values in each tab by the next instructions (function values)
2.3.1 Description tab – fill the function, function user name and the description. Notice that the function value should be without spaces.
2.3.2 Properties tab – fill the:
Function with the same name you have choose in the previous tab,
Type with 'SSWA plsql function',
Maintenance Mode Support with 'None' (Default value),
Context Dependence with 'Responsibility' (Default value).
2.3.3 Form tab- fill the:
Function with the same name you have choose in the previous tab,
Form & Application fields leave empty,
Parameters – there are two options available:
1st Leave it empty – will cause the function to open the discoverer all reports web page and user will have to choose a specific report from the list .
2nd Fill it with value '=workbook=name of the workbook' but without spaces, convert the spaces (if there are any) from the workbook name to + (plus) sign.
For example '=workbook=BI+SERVICE+Performance' represents the string for the 'BI SERVICE Performance' report.
Note: you can also send parameters to the report but since almost all the parameters have a default value (accept from dates) it's not necessary.
2.3.4 Web HTML tab – fill the HTML call with ' OracleOASIS.RunDiscoverer'.
Don't forget to press save button.
Stage 2 Ends.
Stage 3:
Build an oracle application menu or submenu for each discoverer report that represented by the function you has created in stage 2.
Perform this stage for each pair - responsibility + report/function.
3.1 Enter the application in System Administrator responsibility.
3.2 Choose menu 'Security' and then submenu 'Responsibility' and then submenu 'Define'.
3.3 Locate the needed menu by the responsibility that you want to enable her to use the report – of course that the report should be granted for the responsibility via discoverer mechanism as well.
Do it by clicking on the flashlight that located in the left upper corner and find the needed responsibility.
3.4 Find the needed responsibility and select her via next screen (Don't forget to use % as wildcards)-choose by double click on her
3.5 Copy the menu name that related to the responsibility you have choose from the menu field located in the next screen and close the window.
3.6 From the navigator screen choose menu 'Application' and then submenu 'Menu'.
3.7 Locate the menu that you've copied in 3.5 (with the flashlight and the find screen, double click on the menu name – similar to 3.3 and 3.4) via next screen.
3.8 Press on the 'add record' sign (+) that located in the right upper corner of the screen (Do it after the mouse sign and focus is in the rows as you can see the oval mark).
3.9 Fill the prompt with what you want the user to see in the menu that will activate the report link and after fill the user function name as you have build her in stage 2 (Don't forget to save it).
Don't forget to press save button.
Stage 3 Ends.

Open Apex page from a non-apex application

Hello,
I'm calling an Apex page from another (non Apex) application. The way it works is that you click on a map and a browser window is opened with a Apex data entry form. This way you can edit information about the object you clicked on in the map.
I got this working but what I'm trying to avoid is that you have to enter your logon credentials every time. I can't provide a session ID in the URL from the other application.
Is this possible at all?
Rene

Hi Scott,
I tried following your example here:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=9947:1
Page 1 and 2 are normal, but rather empty, pages. Page 3 is the public page with the redirect proces.
First login (demo/demo_12) and notice the session ID.
Then try to redirect to page 2 through page 3
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=9947:3::2
You get the login page again with a new Session ID.
Once you logon you get redirected to page 2 and have joined the previous session.
Is this the expected behaviour of your example? I was trying to get rid of the login screen the second time. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?
thanks Rene

Cannot access APEX pages from other IP in the same network

Hi,
I installed APEX 3.0 on Oracle XE (Windows OS). The PC I installed has a static IP (no DHCP and DHCP servie is stopped).
I started the HTTP server and I am able to access the XE database home page and the APEX developer page and admin page. This PC has a static IP too.
When I tried to access the APEX page from another PC. It is not loading the page.
When tried using Internet Explorer it says "Internet Explorer Cannot display the page"
Please let me know whether I missed any configurations to the access the page from another IP.
Thanks.
Niko

Hi,
Most likly the cause is windows firewall. Try the following:
1 - from Control panel select windows firewall
2 - click on the exception tab
3 - Click Add port
4 - for name enter yhe name you want (APEX)
5 - For port number enter APEX prot number
Hope that will solve your problem
