OBIEE and Oracle Apps (E Business Suite) SSO implementation

Hi Gurus,
We are using apps 11i and OBIEE 10.1.3.4 . I would like to ask that is there any doc which could provide me steps of SSO implementation between both. Or if not in doc is there any body who incorporated the same. Here we dont have DAC and ETL as Informatica for etl we are using plsql. I want to make it work like when user types his id and password in Oracle E business , automatically he should be also directed to OBI also same user id and password could be used to the OBI. Please remember my OBI is not from apps package. It is EE and not OBI 7.9.6 So is it possible to implement SSO between OBIEE and apps 11i and how ?
Thanks,

Though this is not your complete answer, at some point this link might be of help to you if you have OBIEE hosted on Windows box.

Oracle APPS (E-Business Suite) Database

A couple of questions;
1) Best practice suggests limiting access to the TNS Listener component of the APPS Database by only allowing access to an approved list of IP Addresses. In lots of Networks clients dont have static IP addresses, so how to accomplish this.
2) Does restricing access to the TNS LIstener by IP affect users being able to login to Oracle Application itself? I.e. the Systems front-end? Or does it just affect Database level access.
3) If 2 only affects Database accounts, how does the Application itself talk to the Apps Database? Is there some hidden account?

Use hostnames rather than IP addresses.

This feature only affects database access, not front-end application access.

The application and database servers are in the "invited_nodes" list automatically, so this is not an issue.

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,

Application Server and Oracle Apps - basic doubts

Hello
I am pretty new to Oracle 9iAS and Oracle Apps 11i
Please clarify my basic doubts
Read that Oracle9i AS Components are :
- J2EE and Internet Applications (sub-components are Oracle HTTP Server, OC4J, Web services etc)
- Portals
- Wireless
- Web cache
- Business Intelligence
- E-Business Integration
Read that middle tier of Oracle Apps has following servers
- Web server
- Forms server
- Concurrent Processing server
- Reports server
- Discoverer server (optional)
- Admin server
My doubts are -
1. When Oracle Apps 11i is installed, Oracle 9iAS becomes the middle tier of it
Yes / No / Partailly ?
2. If partially, then only the 'J2EE and Internet Applications' component is installed
Yes / No / Partially ?
3. If partially, then Web server (Oracle HTTP Server) and Forms server come from Oracle 9iAS and Report Server, Concurrent Processing server, Admin server etc seperate components only specific to Oracle Apps 11i ?
Yes / No
Please let me know the answers with the explanation
Thanks a ton

Oracle Applications 11i uses Oracle 9iASv1 (10222, specifically) as the underlying midtier technology stack. The latest release of 11i (11.5.10), to be released this summer, can leverage specific features of Oracle AS 10g (904), namely SSO authentication and OID user management, Portal, and Discoverer. This capability will be backported to 11i releases 11.5.8 and 11.5.9, and is currently available now to limited customers through the Early Adopter program. When installed in this configuration, there is a 9iASv1 tech stack installed as part of the 11i installation, and a separate AS 10g installed for SSO, OID, Portal, Discoverer, and any other AS products the customer may be using. Aside from SSO, OID, Portal, and Disco, 11i does not yet run on other components of 9iAS or 10g (e.g., OC4J). Applications plans to move to 10g as the underlying tech stack in a future release.

Oracle 11i E-Business Suite Installation on Windows fails

All you Oracle 11i gurus out there, please HELP as I am at my wit's end.
I am trying to install Oracle 11i E-Business Suite (downloaded from the edelivery Website) on Windows 2003 Server with dual PIII CPU, 1GB RAM, and 150GB+ disk space.
My Oracle 11i install on Windows has been failing during Step 1 of 5 following the process of unpacking the 114 zipfiles for the 9.2.0 database even though all the diagnostic steps passed.
It appears the install is failing on the following step:
InstantiateFile -d d:\oracle\visdb\9.2.0\appsutil\driver\instconf.drv
I have MKS Toolkit installed on C:\MKS and VC++ installed on C:\MVS\VC98.
I have renamed make.exe to gnumake.exe in the C:\MKS\mksnt folder and copied the linker (link.exe) from C:\MVS\VC98\bin to the C:\Windows\System32 folder.
The InstantiateFile step is executing some Java classes. I have also installed the JRE on C:\jre1.5.0_06, although it's doubtful this will impact the install scripts since the scripts are all hardcoded with the included JRE 1.4.2.
Why do Oracle DBAs and users deal with this crap? A software install should not be this difficult.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks to previous responder for tip regarding JDK/JRE anchor strings. I'm not sure if that is a problem. After letting the install process (java.exe) run for over an hour, I finally got past the InstantiateFile step. It looks like the process just takes a long time with no visible progress sometimes. After 5-6 hrs, it looked like the install succeeded (for the most part). There were still some errors in the error logs related to the Concurrent Manager (TNS-12541: TNS:no listener) I believe. If anyone has insight on what this error msg means, I would greatly appreciate a reply.
The other problem I am tackling right now is how to explicitly set the Forms processing mode to HTTP rather than the default socket mode. According to the 11i docs (and Forms Developer 6i docs), you should only have to set "connectMode=HTTP" in the config file, appsweb.cfg, to make this happen. However, when I try bringing up a client form, the form hangs. So, obviously, something is amiss. A related question is whether one can run Forms in only HTTP mode and not HTTPS (and thus avoid having to install SSL). I would greatly appreciate any insight from fellow users.

Can't ssh to Oracle Database (E-business SUite 11.5.10.2)

Time to time I've noticing server froze.Can't ssh to Oracle Database (E-business Suite).
Please advice is any one has similar situation
OS=RHEL 4.4
DB=10.2.0.3
Ebis=11.5.10.2

Hi,
Time to time I've noticing server froze.You should find more details about this behavior in the server logs -- Your System Administrator should help here!
Can't ssh to Oracle Database (E-business Suite).This is an expected behavior if the server hangs. Can you find any errors in the database log file? Do you have sufficient space at the OS level? I believe this is not a ssh issue as it is more likely a Hardware/OS issue.

Where can I download Oracle R12 E Business Suite essential

Hello all, please help locate where l can download Oracle R12 E Business Suite essential

If it is available, it will probably be through http://edelivery.oracle.com That is where Oracle puts pretty much all their downloadable software. The other place is usually the Download link on http://otn.oracle.com
The last time I tried installing eBusiness Suite, it was a 'significant' task. Youmight be better off asking Oracle to arrange for a trial. IIRC, they are usually hosted, so you can get the experience of the application without the admin/tech learning curve up front.

Oracle OBIEE and Oracle EPM (Hyperion)

We are planning to upgrade Hyperion EPM version 9.3.3 to the latest verison but we also purchased OBIEE, and Oracle (Hyperion) Planning. I am wondering if anyone has done this and how they all integrate together. My understanding is we have to upgrade from 9.3.3 to Oracle EPM 11.1.2.x and then to 11.1.4.x. Oracle (Hyperion Planning) would be intregated into Oracle EPM 11.1.4. How does OBIEE fit in and where are the integration points?
I am trying to keep the administration to the minimum as well as plan for the future upgrades as weel. Is there any Oracle documenation on this? Has any one done this yet?

You can integrate EPM with OBIEE but as far as I know there are specific versions that can be integrated.

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!? :)
