MSS Workflow: Display Form: Connection from R/3 to Portal.

Scenario and Description:
User is in R/3 Workflow Inbox. They have a MSS related "Change Notification: PAR with Approval" such as a Salary Change, etc. When they click on "Display Form" link their MS IE Browser opens and they are prompted to logon to the Portal prior to the form displaying.
The issue is that they are forced to log into the Portal even if they are already logged onto the Portal.
Is this the way it needs to work or can we set some parameter to have it so users don't have to log into Portal again when they are already logged in to Portal?
Thank you for your response,
Glenn

I do have SSO configured and I have even used SSO Wizard to set the R/3 system as trusted on the J2EE server side. We currently have EP 7.0 but have been using Portal since v.5.0.  We have never had this problem in the past. All R/3 ids match network/portal ids. If we open an IE browser and logon to portal and then open another IE browser from start menu we also have to log into Portal again. This is typical session based behavior but what I would like to know is, should we be expecting this behavior from R/3 to Portal or should the whole SSO/logon ticket scenario free us from having to login to the Portal more than one time (if we are still logged in)?
PS: I see nothing in the link you sent me that we have not already done.
Thanks,
Glenn

  • Load balancing 10g forms - Connection from new browser window not supported

    Load balancing 10g forms - Connection from new browser window not supported
    We're experimenting with using webcache to load balance between multiple applications servers running OC4J forms processes.
    We currently have one machine with infrastructure and mid-tier (BI & Forms) installed, which is being used for the webcache functionality, this is load balancing between 2 other servers each of which just have the mid-tier (BI & Forms) installation
    In order to get this to work, I had to follow the instructions in the Forms deployment guide : http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_11/web.1012/b14032/tuning.htm#sthref707
    The main gist of this is that you need to set the following in the orion-web.xml file in order that the sessions are maintained:
    <session-tracking
    cookies="enabled">
    </session-tracking>
    This all works fine in most cases.
    The problem I am having is if I do one of the following on the client machine:
    1) From IE6 / IE7 run a copy of a forms application. Then open a new window using the "New Window" menu option, and attempt to run another forms application.
    2) In IE7 or Firefox 2.0 open a copy of the forms application, and then open a new tab and try and open another forms application.
    If I try either of these I get a FRM-92101 error, and the following is displayed in the java console:
    oracle.forms.net.ConnectionException: Connection from new browser window not supported
    From trawling various forums (including metalink and otn) it looks like a problem with the way coockies are handled.
    Unfortunately the usual workaround is to ensure that the session tracking option in the orion-web.xml file is disabled.
    The problem is that I need this enabled in order for the load balancing to work.
    Does anyone know of any other workarounds or patches that might help resolve this?
    We're using Application server 10.1.2.0.2 running on windows 2003 servers.

    You were right. Carriage returns were stopping it from working (the document is laid out over separate lines, so I assumed it would make no difference...).
    I've now managed to get it so the forms at least run, but they are all being run in the forms OC4J instance on the same machine as the OHS.
    Has anyone actually managed to get this to work, or am I doing something wrong?
    I did wonder if using an OHS instance on a machine with no forms installation would make any difference?
    I had raised a support call via metalink on this subject, but they eventually came to the conclusion that the only way to do this is with a hardware load balancer (Despite several documents suggesting that webcache is the way to go (including the forms deployment manual)).
    I'm at the point now of giving up and writing some custom scripts to do the job instead...

  • Display open connection from logs ( 5.2 Patch 6 )

    Hi,
    I am running DS 5.2 and would like to know if there is any way we could get open search/mod/del operation. I do have lgrep command, but not sure if could utilize that get i want intend to.
    There is SAM application sitting against LDAP, and i would like to monitor is could investigate some delay issues.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks, Pamela

    The simplest way I can think of to get that would be to run an lgrep against the log periodically, like
    lgrep " SRCH | ADD | MOD | DEL " access | lgrep -v RESULT | awk '{ print $1 " " $3 " " $4 " " $5}'
    This will print out identifying data for any search, add, mod, or del operation that is currently pending in the log. The difference between the current time and the first column is how long ago the request came in. Any line that appears in two subsequent executions of the pipeline represents an operation that has been running for at least the duration of the execution period. A subsequent grep or lgrep for the query details would be needed to give you specifics such as basedn, filter, etc.
    There are some considerations to doing this, though. In the first place, if your log is big, this will be a lot of parsing, and you will be going through the entire log every time you run this command. Also you would probably need to add some intelligence to the process to make it useful.
    I could see something like this running every few minutes, provided the log is not too big:
    echo "`date +%d/%b/%Y:%H:%M:%S` `lgrep " SRCH | ADD | MOD | DEL " access | head -1`" >> ops.log
    So then a comparison of the first two columns would tell you how long an operation had been running.
    If I were trying to track long-running requests, I would write a script that does something similar to lgrep, but keeps a tail running against the log and keeps track of all pending operations in memory. Then, when an operation reaches some threshold, write to a log and/or send an alarm. The alarm and/or log entry would contain all the relevant data to describe the long-running operation, not just the identifiers. This type of script would also have some machinery for handling log rotation events.

  • Port used for task display form in Oracle BPM Worklist from SOA human task

    My problem is that when I click on my task in worklist it is trying to show the task flow UI in a frame using port 7101 which is my admin server instead of port 7102 which is my SOA server where the task display form is actually deployed.
    I have an admin server running on port 7101 and a managed server with SOA configured running on port 7102. My application contains a soa composite project and a task flow project that was auto-generated from the human task in my composite. The applications deploys successfully to the soa server and I can run my BPEL process successfully and see the task show up in worklist.
    I have modified hwtaskflow.xml with this:
    <TaskFlowServer>
    <hostName>localhost</hostName>
    <httpPort>7102</httpPort>
    <httpsPort>8002</httpsPort>
    </TaskFlowServer>
    I access worklist at: http://localhost:7102/integration/worklistapp/
    But when I click on my task in worklist, the task display form is being referenced at
    http://<ip address>:7101/workflow/VacationRequestTaskFlow/faces......
    instead of
    http://localhost:7102/workflow/VacationRequestTaskFlow/faces......
    Any ideas? After changing hwtaskflow.xml I redeployed and restarted everything and it still doesn't work.
    Edited by: Billy Turchin on Oct 1, 2009 12:43 PM

    Actually my config.xml does not have have two soa_server1 entries ... it has only two <server> entries but each one also has an SSL entry; see below. (This was not done by me BTW, but rather when I ran the domain configuration wizard)
    I don't think the problem has to do with the SSL entries, because those ports are not getting used. The default port for my human task is 7101 (DefaultServer) instead of 7102 (soa_server1). Once I changed the port using the EM it seems to remember it when I deploy new revistions of that composite but anytime I deploy a new composite for the first time, the port for the task display form is incorrectly set to 7101.
    How exactly does worklist determine which port and URI to use for a human task's display form? Does it iterate through all the registered task display forms to find one that is registered for the given human task? (ie its not a property of the human task itself, but rather a property of the registered ADF display forms).
    <server>
    --<name>DefaultServer</name>
    --<ssl>
    ----<name>soa_server1</name>
    ----<listen-port>8001</listen-port>
    --</ssl>
    --<machine>LocalMachine</machine>
    --<listen-port>7101</listen-port>
    --<listen-address></listen-address>
    --<tunneling-enabled>true</tunneling-enabled>
    </server>
    <server>
    --<name>soa_server1</name>
    --<ssl>
    ----<name>soa_server1</name>
    ----<listen-port>8002</listen-port>
    --</ssl>
    --<machine>LocalMachine</machine>
    --<listen-port>7102</listen-port>

  • Is there a way to hide (mask) public connections from displaying?

    Would like to hide (mask) public connections from being displayed on Disco Connection page, but still display private connections
    for our Disco Plus/Viewer users. Reason is...We have SSO enabled and publish Discoverer portlets (Single Worksheet, List of Worksheets) on our
    enterprise portal pages. The List of Worksheets portlet requires us to use a public connection to publish the portlet in order to be displayed
    via viewer by other SSO users otherwise, the other SSO users would be prompted for a password whenever we use a private connection to
    publish portlet. Same problem for the "Analyze" link on the portlet. There is a doc to hide both private/public connection, but we are looking to
    hide only the public connection. Anyone run across this situation when using Disco Portlets?

    **Recommend that you make sure you have the Connection key for each of your Public connections before you hide them. Open Discoverer Plus or viewer and click the "Show" then write down connection key. In the portal if you wanted to create direct connects create URL http://host/port/discoverer/plus?cn=Enter Connection Key
    the ViewerConnection.uix can be found in
    Oracle_Home\j2ee\OC4J_BI_Forms\applications\discoverer\discoverer
    You can edit the file with Notepad or any other text editor.

  • Form does not display all records from table

    Hi guys
    I modified one form that was based on a signle DB table. I removed certain fields from the table and added some extra fields to that table. Then based on the new table I also modified the form and removed the text items related to old fields in the table and added new text items pointing to the new fields now. II have checked all the new items properties and they have don't seem to be wrong or so. But now the problem is the form does not display all the records from the table. before it used to display all records from the table when qureied but not now. It only certain records from the table containing all new data and also old data but the form does not display other records though I don't see any obvious discrepancy. Remember that the before doing the modifications, I have table back for the old, created another table that contained new records for the new fields, and then I inserted the old records and updated the new table data in the new table with these new table values. So this way I have got my new table. Could someone help why the new modified form fails to display all records from the new table updated table though it display some of them successfully.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Thanks

    hi
    Set the block property of "Query All Records" to "YES"
    hope it will work.

  • HT3382 Connect from a MacBook Pro's mini display port to a Display Port monitor?

    Hello everyone,
    Is it possible to connect from a MacBook Pro's mini display port to a Display Port monitor with resolutions higher than 1920 x 1200? It seems Apple does not supply a mini-DP to DP adapter.
    However, just as they do not make a mini-DP to HDMI adapter, but they do recommend a Belkin product for this purpose.
    Is there any reason that a mini-DP to DP adapter or cable wouldn't work and support high resolutions?
    Thanks for your feedback!

    Hey tjk,
    Thanks for the response.
    Do you have any recommendations for a potential set up? The audio output and Apple DVI are on different sides of my MBP, which is alright, I guess I can get two long cables to handle each. I was hoping to just have my MBP closer to where I use it, with a cord nearby plugged in on one side to the HDTV and resting near where I keep my MBP for when I want to use the HDTV as an external monitor.
    With a converter like this, you can run video out of the MBP's DVI port, and miniToslink (optical) audio out of the 3.5mm stereo mini jack to the converter, then it will combine the two and output audio and video through HDMI to the monitor.

    Otherwise, depending on the TV's inputs, for video you could run DVI to DVI on the TV, or DVI to HDMI to the TV. For audio you could run 3.5mm stereo mini plug from the MBP to RCA adapter on the TV. Toslink/optical is also an option.

  • How do I connect to Time Capsule from a Windows 8.1 machine which is on a Windows domain. I have been able to connect from a Windows 7 machine on a Windows domain to a Time Capsule. Airport utility is not displaying the Time Capsule Win8.1 machine

    How do I connect to Time Capsule from a Windows 8.1 machine which is on a Windows domain. I have been able to connect from a Windows 7 machine on a Windows domain to a Time Capsule. Airport utility is not displaying the Time Capsule Win8.1 machine.
    I have checked that the firmware has been updated to 7.6.4 . Similalrly the Win8.1 machine has been loaded with the update specified in another discussion.

    Firstly how are you connecting to the TC.. wireless or ethernet?
    Please open a command window and ping it.. ping by name and by IP address.
    If ping succeeds at least by IP it should work.
    In windows explorer type
    \\10.0.1.1 (or whatever the TC ip is.. that is the default).
    Having the airport utility for windows loaded can help the process. As it loads bonjour for windows.
    7.6.4 firmware on the TC is useless. It works better on 7.6.1
    If the ping does not succeed by either name or IP address yet you have internet through the TC, then your network is setup wrongly. You are have firewalls blocking local IP. Take down all the firewalls.

  • How do I connect from  forms 6i  and SQL Plus to Oracle XE?

    I have successfully installed Oracle database XE on my work labtop. This machine has already oracle forms,reports,sqlplus installed locally. I have tnsnames.ora file in orant/net80/admin directory. I have created an entry in this tnsnames.ora file copied from the tnsnames.ora file created during the installation of XE in the directory where xe is installed.
    I can connect to XE from dos promt by typing sqlplus system/password@xe. But if I go to sqlplus 8.0 (Windows) and try to connect , I get a tnsnames error. Same as when connecting from forms.
    Someone please advice. Also If i create an application using Oracle Database Xe
    and Oracle forms 6i , Is there any way that I can embedd the database in the forms to distribute as a package.?
    Thanks
    George

    George,
    please give us a bit more details:
    1) You are on Windows XP SP2, right?
    2) please post the result of your tnsping80
    D:\Oracle>tnsping80 xe
    TNS Ping Utility for 32-bit Windows: Version 8.0.6.3.0 - Production on 12-JAN-2006

    Attempting to contact (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=localhost)(PORT=1521))
    OK (360 msec)3) In which order did you install the oracle software, XE was last, right?
    4) Can you still connect using Forms to your other databases? Is everything else still working, just the connect to XE doesn't work?
    5) please post your PATH variable:
    echo %PATH%
    6) please post the XE entry from your tnsnames.ora
    7) please post the result of your "normal" tnsping:
    tnsping xe
    Also If i create an
    application using Oracle Database Xe
    and Oracle forms 6i , Is there any way that I can
    embedd the database in the forms to distribute as a
    package.?Sure, XE is meant to be embedded by other solutions. I guess Oracle will have detailed documentation on how to create a package, preinstall the necessary schemas and objects and distribute it together with your forms and reports.

  • Connecting from Oracle designer 2000 Forms 4.5 to 9i

    Hi,
    a)We have installed Oracle designer 2000 and are able to connect to a 9.0.1.0.0 database.
    The Versions we have used are as follows:-
    Forms [32 Bit] Version 4.5.7.1.6 (Production)
    Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.0.1.0.0 - Production
    With the Partitioning option
    JServer Release 9.0.1.0.0 - Production
    Oracle Toolkit Version 2.3.6.9.0 (Production)
    PL/SQL Version 1.2.1.5.0 (Production)
    Oracle Procedure Builder V1.5.6.15.3 - Production
    Oracle Virtual Graphics System Version 2.1.10.7.0 (Production)
    Oracle Tools GUI Utilities Version 1.2.0.10.0 (Production)
    Oracle Multimedia Version 2.0.7.9.0 (Production)
    Oracle Tools Integration Version 1.2.0.4.0 (Production)
    Oracle Tools Common Area Version 2.0.0.9.0
    Oracle CORE Version 3.5.2.0.0 - Production
    b)We are able to connect from SQL 3.1 to a 9.0.1.0.0 database also.
    1)Does Oracle support this configuration?
    2)Will my Oracle 4.5 forms builder be able to use all the objects available in the 9.0.1.0.0 database?
    3)Is there a possibility that my forms will not run properly because of this configuration?

    Strictly speaking we only certify the upgrade from 6i to 9i, however, the technical details of going from 4.5 directly to 9i are the same and in many cases should work as going from 6i to 9i.

  • Opening a list item pdf attachment from the display form in a new window

    I have a list setup in which attachments are enabled.
    Users attach pdf's to list items.
    When they go into the display form for a list item and click on a pdf attachment in the "Attachments" area at the bottom of the form, it opens in the same browser window.
    I would like to amend this so it opens in a new window.  Has anyone found a fix for this?
    Thanks in advance,
    Mark

    Hi ,
    Put the code below in your DispForm.aspx page .The you can open the attachments in a new window. Including all the other links on the DispForm.aspx page .
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    $(function(){ 
    $('a').click(function(){
                    window.open(this.href);
                   return false;
    });</script>

  • Connection from ONE VM to multiple X-displays?

    Hallo,
    is it possible to display AWT/Swing components on multiple X11 displays (not screens)
    from ONE virtual machine? Each display has its own name/ip-address.
    Thanx

    From the command line you can only "export DISPLAY" to one machine.
    But, have a look at java.awt.GraphicsDevice and java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment.
    They look promising, returning an array of screens.
    regards,
