MDM WorkFlow external application

HI Expect
We want to create a Work flow process on MDM that will execute external application, or exe. So is this possible on MDM workflow. One option was to use Portal, but we need the same functionality to be used for MDM Data Manager Console users.
Regards
Tebogo

Hi,
This is not possible with MDM Workflowsr. MDM Workflows are light-weight and supports only basic functionalities which can be achieved using the steps provided to design the workflow. You need to have the custom application to achieve this requirement

MDM Workflow - Email log

Hi there,
I'm playing around with the email functionality of MDM Workflow and got a question. My workflow runs fine, but my emails are not being received.
What I was looking for was a place to start the investigation : I would expect that at least some errors are written into some logfiles. Anybody knows if there are logfiles for this type of errors ?
Thx,
Dirk

Hi Dirk,
Doing setting in mds.ini is not sufficient. It is required that MDM server should talk to mail server. In order to setup this, you need to make them talk each other and this is the way it can be done.
You need to define ip address and name of the mail server in one of the windos setup file. What I have done to resolve this problem is as follows:
locate the file hosts (WINNT -> system32 -> drivers -> etc -> hosts. You need to open in notepad).
Read the instructions mentioned in the file as
This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one space.
With this entry, we are linking mail server with application.
This has resolved my problem. Thanks to my colleague Chintamani for probing into mail server further.
Secondly, it is not necessary that the notification can come only from the owner, it depends on at what stage notification is setup. Action owner can send notification as we configure the same during notification setup.

Trigger MDM workflow from Webdynpro Java

Hi All,
After updating records in MDM, I want to trigger an MDM workflow from Webdynpro Java and pass those updated records to workflow. Any inputs on how to accomplish this. Workflow has already been developed using MSVISIO by the MDM team.
Thanks,
Tom

By following steps, it is possible to integrate workflow (or any workflow designed in MDM) within portal:
1. UWL (Universal Worklist): The UWL gives users unified and centralized way to access their work and the relevant
information in the portal. It collects tasks and notifications from multiple provider systems. One can expose MDM
workflow functionality on Portal using UWL.
2. JAVA APIu2019s: MDM Java API consists of set of classes related to MDM workflows through which one can create an
application that provide the MDM workflow functionality and expose the application as an iView in the portal.

When I log in to OSSO server, I have a option of registering the partner application, there in UI I have to specify, Home URL, Success URL and Logout URL.
For me, my sso server and my application server resides on the different servers (systems). Please let me know which URLs I shoudl specify to register my partner application using UI.
I mean, I want to know what should I specify in Home URL, Success URL and Logout URL

Access to Another Portal as External Application

Hi,
From within my Portal, I'm trying to access another one of my company's Portal as external application. So I defined the following on my Portal's External Application Login page:
Application Name: XXX portal
Login URL: http://hostname/pls/portal30_sso/PORTAL30.wwptl_login.login_url
User Name/ID Field Name: ssousername
Password Field Name: password
Type of Authentication: POST
But The above doesn't do it though. I also tried
/hostname/pls/portal30/portal30.wwsec_app_priv.process_signon but no avail either.
Has anyone been able to do this? Thanks. Binh.

Try http://host:port/pls/portal_dad/portal_schema.wwptl_login.login_url?ssousername=include_username_here&password=include_password_here&p_requested_url=http://host:port/pls/portal_dad/portal_schema.home&p_cancel_url=http://www.oracle.com

Error in registering a provider for External Application for Web Clipping

Getting Error: The provider URL specified may be wrong or the provider is not running. (WWC-43176)
when trying to register a provider for an external application for Web Clipping

Hi Vineet,
The admins applied a patch to my version of the OracleAS 10g Version 9.0.4. and now I able to register a provider with the same URL but different Provider Name. I added My Yahoo Web Clipping from the Portlet Staging Area. That works fine but when I click on the check mail link in the Web Clipping Studio it gives me the following error. I have tried several times and I get the same error....
An exception has occured : WCS-514 -- Get status code 403 to URL http://us.rd.yahoo.com/my/prop/mail/*http://mail.yahoo.com/ by method get
Please click "Cancel" or "Back" in the above panel (if present) to retry. Otherwise, please try to click "Back" (from the browser) to go back to the Oracle Portal page to restart.

Single Sign-On and External Applications Portlet

I would like to know how complicated would be to call an External Application with SSO (like Hotmail), outside the External Applications Portlet.
We have defined around 10 external applications with SSO,they worked fine.
but due to look&feel issues, we would like to put them in a content area , like items that when the user clicks, takes them to the external application and performs the single sign-on.
Any advice will be appreciated.
tks!!

Maria, I was experimenting with this last night, to answer your question, and I think a cool way of doing this would be the following:
Create a custom attribute called "App ID" - make this a NUMBER type. This is where the external application id will be stored.
Create a custom item type: "External Application"
You have two options for the base type: either "URL" or "<None>". If you pick URL, then you can have the item contain the URL for fapp_process_login, but this is not advisable because it will require the administrator to type in this long URL every time a new application is added.
If you select base type URL, you should use that URL to let the administrator provide a URL to the application's homepage, or a help page or something of that sort.
Edit the newly created item to set the Attribute and Procedure properties.
Add the "App ID" attribute - no default.
On the Procedure tab, add the following procedures (called as HTTP), each with the App ID passed as "p_app_id":
Login http://server.domain.com/pls/portal30_sso/portal30_sso.wwsso_app_admin.fapp_process_login
Edit http://server.domain.com/pls/portal30_sso/portal30_sso.wwsso_app_admin.edit_fappuser
That's it!
Add the new custom item type to a folder, and all the administrator needs to do is set the title, and App ID for the new item.
Excercise for the Reader
You will notice that clicking on the Edit link will take you to the login server when you are done editing the credentials. To avoid this, pass another parameter to the edit procedure - p_done_url, and set a value for that to point to the page that you want to go to after editing credentials.

Single Sign-on and external applications

Hi,
Someone might be able to point me in the right direction about this.
I have registered each of my applications as external applications within Oracle Portal in order to avail of single sign-on.
This is fine to a point, but registering applications in this way still requires the user to enter a username and password once in order to login to the application the first time they use it, even though they have already logged into the Portal. As long as the user doesn't log out of the application they can close their browser and when they come back to the application they are still logged in.
None of the applications I use are oracle partner applications.
My problem is that I want to avoid the user having to log in to the application the first time they use it.
Ideally they should login to Portal once and then any subsequent applications they access, they are automatically logged into them without having to enter a username and password.
Is there a way to do this or will I have to write a custom login for each application to circumnavigate this first time using the application login issue ?
Are there any docs that someone could point me at.
Many thanks,

SSO for External application not part of the portal framework

Greetings,
I am desperate!!!
I am trying to do the following:
I have a pl/sql application that presents to the user a set of external applications links.When the user activates a link, I would like to make a call the SSO server so it can do external application login.
I know I can configure the external applications as described in the SSO admin guide.
Unfortunately the API to query the SSO server for external application mapping is not public.
ANY IDEAS ON WHERE I CAN GET THIS INFO??
Every thing I have read says that external applications can be accessed through Portal. This is not my case. I can use any packages or classes available by the SSO server to portal, but MY APPLICATION IS NOT A PORTAL.

I have similar kind of requirements for Single sign-on to external web applications.
But in my applications I have to auto-generate random userid & password for different external web applications.
These uids & password are exported to external applications, which upon recieving creates user in their applications.
So, actual user will never have access to these credentials(uid &pwd).
So, how can I cutomize the Portlets to do the first time SSO when user is created & their credentials to external apps are stored to OID.
Any idea Barry..
Bye

SSO and external applications

Hello folks,
Due to my inexperience with PS6, I'm looking for some high-level outline that will help me look in the right places and understand things better here.
I have an external application that requires authentication via a web form (or by attaching the username and password on the URL as parameters).
What I want to do is have a channel of this application and utilize information from the SSO mechanism to redirect the request to that remote app and provide the credentials for a transparent login.
From what I understand this can be done by having a servlet in that channel to retrieve the credentials of the user for that remote application from the SSO and then redirect to the external application, attaching the credentials to the URL.
Is the above correct? I would appreciate any pointers or considerations since my experience with PS is minimal.
Thanks in advance,
Manos

I don't see a way to that servlet to retrieve a password for the user - it's not stored in the session.
There are following options:
1. OpenText LiveLink way: You have some "hidden" password for every user (based on user's ID and a shared key) known only to your server and this servlet. Servlet will supply this password.
2. Normal way - web server: Implement login module to this application, which will trust REMOTE_USER variable provided by the agent on the web server.
3. Normal way - standalone app: Implement login module to this application which will validate DSAME session cookie on the DSAME server. You can use example code in the SUNWam/samples/ of your server.

Login URL and External Applications

Are there any guidelines for finding the login URL's for External Applications? For example, if you want to set up E*Trade as an External Application, you go to https://www.etrade.com and look at the source. You find that form that submits the user id and password is thus:
<form name="myForm" action="/login.fcc" method="post" autocomplete="off" onsubmit="return populateTarget();">
However, setting the login URL to https://www.etrade.com/login.fcc fails.
Any suggestions on how to form this?

I went to https://www.etrade.com and looked at the source. I didn't get the same source that you got -- pI don't know why. I am in the United States, and perhaps you are notm and that makes the difference.
In the source I saw, the login <form> tag was:
<form name="myForm" onSubmit="doMagic()" method="post" autocomplete="off">
Looking at the javascript function "doMagic" I noticed that it sets two cookies before doing the submission. The "login.fcc" page may be failing the login request for lack of these cookies.
I also noticed that the script sets the action HREF with
document.myForm.action = "https://us.etrade.com/login.fcc";
(in the case where the locale is US).
Perhaps you need a specific country host for "login.fcc", not www.etrade.com.

Problem with editing in external application

Hi,
I have tried to edit a web page using an external application
(TextEdit in Mac) and Contribute allows me to open it by going to
File>Actions>Edit Page Source in External Application; but
when closing the document in TextEdit and returning to Contribute,
it shows the HTML code, not the page as it should appear in a web
browser.
Could anyone give me some advice?
Thanks

Could you post the page-source or post the url to the
page?

Problem with Web Clipping and External Application

When I use Web clipping with INLINE rendering on usual sites I can move under links, not leaving a portal.
But if I try to make it via the self-made provider with External Application then links do not work.
I press them and it appear in the same place!
Authorization via External Application passes successfully, that is the page is displayed correctly.
But links do not work.
In what there can be a problem?
Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2)

In order to prevent some urls and internal websites from being cached use url bypassing. This way these urls will not be cached and the users can directly use them without being asked to log in.
To enable transparent error handling and dynamic authentication bypass, and to configure static bypass lists, use the bypass global configuration command. To disable the bypass feature, use the no form of the command.
