OBIA 7.9.6.3 security integration with EBS R12.1.2

Hi Experts,
We are implementing OBI Apps 7.9.6.3 with EBS R12.1.2 as source.We need to integrate Active Directory with OBIEE and implement security of BI Apps with EBS R12.1.2. Need help on this.
How to map EBS Responsibilities into Application Role and Groups? Whether we need to create one Application Role and Group for each responsibility ? Then provide permissions in rpd for each of them? The user should have similar permission in BI as they have in EBS - like people can see only US Finance data in EBS should see only US Finance data in BI also.
Regards,
mvsst

You can go through obia security guide which explains step by step procedure with screenshot on how to implement ebs authentication and role based access.
here is the link.

APEX integration with EBS R12.1.1 - no SSO

I am trying to complete APEX integration with EBS R12.1.1 in simplest way. I have a non authenticated report page that I need to link to through a menu and function on one of the existing forms.
Rod West document
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex/apex-ebs-wp-cabot-consulting-169064.pdf
offers the jsp approach which I like to implement however the jsp will not compile correctly and I am not sure why - I have already fond one error with the code as listed in the document:
ojspCompile.pl compile -s 'LaunchApex.jsp ' retry ---> will not work
ojspCompile.pl compile -s 'LaunchApex.jsp' retry --> will work
compile will fail starting at this point of the code:
PARALLEL COMPILATION: 1
[10389] !!COMPILATION ERROR(0) LaunchApex.jsp:
_LaunchApex.java:70: illegal start of type
if (ctx==null) {
^
has anyone tried this approach and got the jsp to compile with no errors or can you see what is it?
thanks in advance.

Hello Mini:
thanks for the info and I have followed the steps as listed. I am not sure what line is the bad code you listed is on - here is the copy of the jsp I am working with and maybe you can point to a specfic line(s) that need to be changed from what to what.

Apex Integration with EBS R12 - javax.servlet.ServletException

Morning,
We are in the process of upgrading from 11i to R12 and we have found that our method of launching Apex in 11i no longer works in R12. We are trying to follow the following instructions: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex/apex-ebs-wp-cabot-consulting-169064.pdf and have created a .jsp file and compiled as per the document. When we try to launch the function from apps though we get:

Hi,
If the jsp compiled successfully then you may need to bounce your web server before the jsp can be used. See MOS Note 458338.1 for more details.
Actually, now that Oracle have updated their FND Gateway for Apex integration there are only a few situations (such as if you want to pass parameters from the form function to Apex) where you need to use a custom jsp to launch Apex. In most cases you can use the Oracle supplied GWY.jsp to launch your Apex Page. To use this jsp you must apply the EBS R12 patch 12316083 (and patch 12726556 if you are launching from the forms navigator). How to use the GWY.jsp is described in "Extending Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 using Oracle Application Express" white paper.

Discoverer integration with EBS R12 !!!

Hello Sir,
I need help to install/integrate Discoverer with R12.
Actually, our clients are using Discoverer 4i in current EBS 11.5.10.2 in production. We have just upgraded EBS in TEST environment from 11.5.10.2 to R12.1.3.
I had suggested client that Discoverer 4i is actually de-supported and they need to upgrade Discoverer version to minimum 10.1.2.3 or higher to integrate it with R12.1.3.
Now, client also have requirement for Discoverer to be certified with MS Excel 2010 format. So I have suggested to upgrade Discoverer version to minimum 11.1.1.4.
Latest certified Discoverer version is 11.1.1.7.0 as per note Using Discoverer 11.1.1 with Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 (Doc ID 1074326.1)
1) Can you please provide your opinion and any documentation which I can follow to install/integrate Discoverer with R12 ?
2) Do I need to first install separate 10gAS for installing Discoverer 10.1.2.3 or Fusion middleware home for installing Discoverer 11g ? If yes, where can I find doc for this installation ?
3) Since 10g support has ended July 2013, where can I get media for installing 10gAS ?
4) Is there any additional licences required for using either Discoverer 10g or Discoverer 11g ?

1) Can you please provide your opinion and any documentation which I can follow to install/integrate Discoverer with R12 ?
In addition to the doc you have, please see:

2) Do I need to first install separate 10gAS for installing Discoverer 10.1.2.3 or Fusion middleware home for installing Discoverer 11g ? If yes, where can I find doc for this installation ?
Installation Recommendations - 11g Release 1 (11.1.1)
Installer Screens - 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.7.0)
3) Since 10g support has ended July 2013, where can I get media for installing 10gAS ?
You can download WebLogic 10.3.6 from WebLogic Server 12c (12.1.1), WebLogic Server 11g (10.3.6) and Previous Releases
4) Is there any additional licences required for using either Discoverer 10g or Discoverer 11g ?

User authentication when OBIEE is integrated with EBS

Hello guys
I have a conceptual question about how OBIEE authentication is performed in an integrated environment with EBS? If the goal is to have users access to OBIEE based on their roles given in EBS, what kind of authentication is it needed for such implementation?
Do I import users and group from EBS database or LDAP server (if its available)? what kind of session variable and ini block is created if I want to do data level secuirty based on user groups?
Please give some basic idea and guidelines on topic
Thank you very much

hi,
the final solution must face and fill your needs....
Bi suite has 3 ways of making-having user-groups...
1.manual
2.ldap
3.from external database
If the goal is to have users access to OBIEE based on their roles given in EBS, what kind of authentication is it needed for such implementation?
-->match the roles from EBS to your liked in OBIEE
check and this,

EBS Security Integration with BI Publisher

Hi All,
I have few questions regarding integration of EBS Security with BIP. I went through the following document Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher.
and have following questions.
-- Upon on logging on into BIP after integration with EBS should I assign the three roles of BI i.e. BI Administrator, BI Author and BI Conusmer to all EBS roles for catalog permission set up.
Below is my requirement. EBS user logging into BIP
a) Set of Users should have to build reports , publish on dashboard etc.
b)Set of users need only view reports i.e. read only.
c) One User should have Admin privileges.
How do I associated above with EBS roles. Should I assign BI roles to EBS roles in EM and give catalog permissions? Any thoughts will be really appreciated.
Thanks

have you got a response for this? We are having the same issue after following everything as well.

Integration of Oracle Apex with EBS R12.1.1

Dear All,
We are in process of integrating Oracle Apex 4.0.2 with EBS R12.1.1 with the help of http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex/apex-ebs-wp-cabot-consulting-169064.pdf.
After doing all the steps, the moment when we navigate from EBS application to Apex application by clicking on the EBS menu link it ends up with below error
"404 Not Found
Resource /OA_HTML/null/pls/apex/f not found on this server"
After some analysis i found the below code in "LaunchApex.jsp" for getting the profile value (supposed to be 'http://myserver:port') from custom system profile "APEX_HTTP_SERVER" and prefixing to "/apex/f?p=applicationid:page::APPS:::" is not happening properly
String l_launcher = ctx.getProfileStore().getProfile("APEX_HTTP_SERVER");
l_launcher = l_launcher + "/apex/f?p=" + p_application + ":" + p_page;
l_launcher = l_launcher + "::APPS:::" + p_item_names + ":" + p_item_values;
as we found that the custom system profile "APEX_HTTP_SERVER" not exist in EBS system. But it works without any page error if we hard code the entire apex application URL in l_launcher variable, but this takes us to EBS login page instead of Apex application page.
So i feel we can't bypass using profile value from "APEX_HTTP_SERVER" as it has some relation with EBS application session.
So could anyone please help me how we could create custom system profile "APEX_HTTP_SERVER" or any other options to make the seamless integration of Oracle apex with EBS works without any second login page
Thanks in advance
Edited by: 805196 on Aug 25, 2011 12:23 AM

Hi,
Create a profile under Application Developer Responsibility as follow:
Name OAE_LAUNCHER
Application <whatever>
User Profile Name Oracle Application Express Launcher
Description Oracle Application Express Launcher
2. Set above profile value under System Administrator Responsibility -> Profile -> System, and search for the ‘OAE_LAUNCHER’.
Set the value at Site Level as:
http://<hostname>:<Apex port>/pls/apex
Then instead of hardcoding the URL in the jsp, just give the profile name OAE_LAUNCHER that you have just created in the jsp.
Hope this helps you

OID Installation Questions pertaining to integration with EBS 11.5.10.2

Our Environment is E-Business Suite 11.5.10.2 and we want to investigate/view OID/SSO in action. Ultimately, we'll attempt to use Microsoft Active Directory as the source (of truth). I had performed OID/SSO integration with EBS about 3 years ago and remember the "overall" scheme, but Oracle's documentation/downloads page has left me thoroughly confused, hence, I am asking those that have been through the process .... THANKS IN ADVANCE
(1) Do I need to install the base AS 10g Infrastructure and Metadata Repository via 10.1.2.0.2 installation or can I go directly to installing OID 10.1.4.0.1 ??
Here is what I believe the steps to be, PLEASE, correct me if I am wrong ...
(1) Install 10.1.2.0.2 Application Server Infrastructure by selecting "Infrastructure and Metadata Repository"
(2) Install 10.1.4.0.1 and select to upgrade an existing 10.1.2.0.2 installation. Once 10.1.4.0.1 has upgraded everything, including the database to 10.1.0.5, I assume that I can simply remove 10.1.2.0.2 through the Oracle Installer. Is this correct ??
(3) Once upgrade to 10.1.4.0.1, I believe that I need to download a Metadata Upgrade Assistant patch, (mrua), and run mrua,sh to upgrade MR to 10.1.4.0.1 which will be apparent by querying app_registry view.
(4) Upgrade 10.1.4.0.1 to 10.1.4.3
The documentation is confusing and hard to find for me. Do these steps seem to accomplish the tasks or am I missing something ??
THANKS IN ADVANCE

I didn't do the install myself but we went straight to installing 10.1.4 Identity Manangement, although I believe that Infrastructure components which underly it are essentially the same as 10.1.2. As far as I know you can't use 10.1.3 because it lacks those infrastucture components.

Integrating Oracle Apex 4.0.2 with EBS R12.1.1

We could successfully integrate Oracle Apex 4.0.2 with EBS R12.1.1 with the help of http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex/apex-ebs-wp-cabot-consulting-169064.pdf.
The document says to navigate from EBS to Oracle Apex without any second login screen (works great!!), but now how do we navigate back to EBS from Oracle Apex (in same session) without any login screen again as like below
EBS User login --> EBS --> Oracle Apex --> EBS
Please help to achieve this.

Hi,
Under the Authentication scheme of your application in the Logout URL Section, give the following
wwv_flow_custom_auth_std.logout_then_go_to_url?p_args=&APP_ID.:http://xyz.ck.com:8010/OA_HTML/OA.jsp?OAFunc=OAHOMEPAGEspecify your ebiz suite url instead of http://xyz.ck.com:8010 in the above link.
so, that while pressing the Logout link in your apex, you wont be redirected to the ebiz login page again, and it will redirect to you ebiz menu home page back in the same session itself.
This will work for sure.
Good Luck!!!
Change your User handle from "805196" to a meaningful word.

Installing Demantra 7.2 with EBS R12

Hi All
I am planning to install and integrate Demantra 7.2 with EBS R12. If any one has done it, please provide me the pointers to do this.
Thanks

In addition to the notes referenced by Hussein above, Note 470574.1 indicates following the 11.5.10.2/Demantra 7.1.1 documentation. A good note for that is below:
EBS-Demantra Integration Installation Overview and Diagram
http://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=434991.1
Just download the R12/Demantra 7.2 patches from 470574.1. Also make sure the Windows machine has the exact same version of the Oracle client as the R12 database. If the R12 database is still 10.2.0.2, then you have to have 10.2.0.2 client. Also ensure you install the utilities portion in order for the import executable to be there. The OAS 10.1.3 10.1.4 SSO steps are optional as the workflow components only work correctly on the Windows Tomcat Application Server.
