if anyone can point me to a link or give me his own opinion on how to do that please do.
Thanks

Hy Daan,
You are the king of Ebs.
A little search on google over ExternalLogon, return me on this page :
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10415_01/doc/bi.1013/e10416/general_10134.htm#BEHJFJDD
11.5.3.2 Specifying the External Login for Single Sign-On with EPM Workspace
An external token (or ticket) can be passed to Oracle BI Presentation Services by another system, which facilitates the use of Single Sign-on with EPM Workspace and Oracle BI.
To configure for a token to be passed from EPM Workspace to Oracle BI Presentation Services for Single Sign-on, you must add or modify the <ExternalLogon> element of the instanceconfig.xml file as follows:
<Auth>
<ExternalLogon enabled="true" logonPageAllowed=”true”>
   <ParamList>
      <Param name="UID" source="url" nameInSource="sso_token"/>
      <Param name="PWD" source="constant" value="obips.hss.ssotoken"/>
   </ParamList>
</ExternalLogon>
</Auth>Does it mean that you need Oracle SSO (the ldap of oracle) ?

OBIEE and Oracle Apps

Hi,
We have OBIEE integrated with Oracle Apps. During installation we also get the Vanilla rpd. we are also using another new module which uses another database but not the Oracle apps. We have requirement of OBIEE reports on this module. This databse is an OLTP database. We are trying to add another source to the rpd and pull these tables and create a subject area. My understanding is that this is possible. So we will have two sources. One that came in the vanilla rpd which is datawarehouse and the other which is OLTP for the new module. Please correct me if I am wrong. Thanks.

hi User,
You are doing correct let me add some points
which uses another database but not the Oracle apps. We have requirement of OBIEE reports on this module. This database is an OLTP database.You have Different connection pools by default when u install oracle Apps next,you are customizing the rpd by adding some OLTP database ,
Merging the Vanilla rpd + Custom rpd (i mean connection pools)
make sure that all the join conditions to be made and report should be from theis subject area
thanks,

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 iPortal Integration with Oracle Apps 11i via SSO

How can we integrate Oracle iPortal with Oracle Apps 11i via SSO?
Is there any documentation on this topic that anybody could share ([email protected])? I have already searched the Portal Studio and the Metalink without much success.
Any suggestions and possible recommendations/solutions are highly appreciated! Thank you for answering this post!
Best regards,
Lina Danchenko
P.S. I am unable to view the note 146469.1 Configuring Oracle Applications with Oracle Portal on the Metalink. Any idea where I can find it? Thanks in advance!

In a future release, Oracle Apps will be integrated with SSO out of the box.
Currently there is a pilot program which several companies are participating in to beta-test this
integration, but this program is not open to additional customers.
Please speak with your Oracle sales representative to get a better idea of current options
and general availability dates.
You do have the option now of just configuring Oracle Apps as an External Application.

BI with Oracle Apps, SET OF BOOKS

I am new to BI with Oracle Apps.
3 different companies are using same Oracle Apps system.
In BI workbooks how do I make sure correct SET OF BOOKS is selected for all the workbooks.
Currently Receipts Analysis workbook allows users to select organizations from all 3 companies.
Looks like I have missed some big configuration / security setting.
Thanks in advance help

Hi,
I don't think the Receipts Analysis workbook has any set of books security built in as standard. What folder/view is the workbook using?
If you are using a GL responsibility you can include selection of your set of books by importing the gl_security_pkg.login_sob_id function in the the Discoverer EUL and then adding a condition that selects the sob id using the sob id returned by the function.
Hope that helps,

Using Discoverer with Oracle Apps

Hi,
I have Oracle Apps vision instance on my laptop. I installed Discoverer Administrator and Desktop. But when I connect through Desktop, it only recognizes database users. When I check Application User check box still it did not recognize the Oracle Apps user 'SYSADMIN', the error message is 'Invalid username/password' which is a valid user and I could login to Oracle Apps using it and it has many responsibilities.
Is there a step I am missing to synchronize Apps users with database or Discoverer Administrator/Desktop so that I can login to Desktop using Apps user to create workbooks.
Thanks,
Suresh

Hi Rod,
Thanks for the reply. At the time of creation of EUL it gives two options
1. Grant Access to Public
2. New EUL is for use by Oracle Applications users only
When I selected the second one I am not able to access it by any user from desktop tool but when I used the first option I can only login from Desktop using database users only not Appliations users, it gives error message 'Invalid username/password'. I dont see anywhere else I need to do something while creating EUL.
Please give me the insight into this.
Thanks,
Suresh

Error while running BPEL Process with Oracle Apps Adapter.

Hi All,
I am trying to configure the oracle apps adapter in JDeveloper.
Here my EBS is running on different database where as SOA is installed on different database.
I am able to properly configure the adapter & deploy the process to weblogic server.
But when I am trying to run the process I am getting following errorr.
<p>
The JCA Binding Component was unable to establish an outbound JCA CCI connection due to the following issue: BINDING.JCA-12510\nJCA Resource Adapter location error.\nUnable to locate the JCA Resource Adapter via .jca binding file element <connection-factory/>\nThe JCA Binding Component is unable to startup the Resource Adapter specified in the <connection-factory/> element: location='*<JNDI Name passed in Oracle apps Adapter.>*'.\nThe reason for this is most likely that either \n 1) the Resource Adapters RAR file has not been deployed successfully to the WebLogic Application server or \n 2) the '<jndi-name>' element in weblogic-ra.xml has not been set to <JNDI Name passed in Oracle apps Adapter.>
</p>
Please suggest the solution for the same.
its really urgent . waiting for reply.
Edited by: aumathe on Dec 16, 2010 2:33 PM

Have you created a connection pool with the JNDI specified while configuring adapter in Oracle Apps adapter on weblogic admin console. You should create it at Deployments --> OracleAppsAdapter --> Configuration--> Outbound Connection pools
Make sure to update the adapter after creating a connection pool so that changes can take effect.

Using XDB with Oracle Apps

Oracle Apps 11.5.9 installs a 9.2 database without XDB. XDB can be installed in these databases by running catqm.sql and catxdbj.sql. The questions is, if I only have a license to run Oracle Apps am I also licensed to install XDB into that Apps database?

OK, I know this is a cop-out but Oracle Licencing is a very complex area that I try my best not to understand...... :)
The only way to get a definitive answer to this question is to discuss it with the Oracle Account Manager who is responsible for Oracle's relationship with your organization.

Implementing Security For ADF Pages when integrated with Oracle APPS

Hi,
Can anyone please let me know the solution to the below problem ?
I have an ADF application that is deployed on a weblogic server. An URL is generated to access the ADF Pages.
I have created one more simple jsp (Launch.jsp) which redirects to this URL on page load.
I am using Oracle APPS where:
->I registered a form function referring to Launch.jsp
->I am referring form function in a responsibility , attaching that to a menu
->When the valid oracle user logs in, I am sending all oracle apps environment variables (User id , Responsibility id, application id ) for that session
What my issue is :
->The URL along with the parameters that I am sending from the Launch.jsp to the ADF Page is visible to the user. So, even if the Oracle APPS user has not logged in, anybody who knows the URL can access the ADF Pages.
->So, Is there any way to implement the security so as, even if anyone knows the URL of the ADF Page cannot access the ADF Pages without the valid user being logged-in through the Oracle APPS.
I am using Jdeveloper 11g.
Please let me know if you need anymore details.
Thanks in advance,
Kavitha

Please help me out if anyone has a solution to this problem.

Thanks for the feedback and sorry it took me so long to reply back. I don't recall seeing the session_id or user_id being passed as part of the function set up, but the rest definitely are. I may be mistaken.
I did come up with a solution that involved the following.
The package was in another schema, but granting execute to apps and creating a synonym in apps allowed for all mod_plsql output to be generated by Oracle's apps ias server.
I could capture the session_id and the user_id using a function referencing icx_session. I build an additional procedure that gets called first by the app so that it can set the session_id and user_id to a context then set a cookie that all subsequently generated pages reference with that info.
That's the short of it and at this point I've long moved on to other issues but it certainly was a relief to get it working. No jsp necessary.
Thanks.
Kurt
