Oracle Applications Vs Custom developed software using JDeveloper

Hi,
I was wondering if you could point me to list of what would be the major advantages / disadvantages of using Oracle applications Vs building custom software using JDeveloper. This is to participate in a decision making meeting with the stake holders. Please provide any information that might be useful for decision making.
Thanks

Oracle applications are a set of pre-built applications that you can use for different tasks like Human Resource, Purchase Order, Customer Relationship Management.
The good thing is that the application is already built so you just buy it off the shelf.
JDeveloper lets you develop applications from scratch or customize existing applications.
So your basic question is "Buy vs. Build" - and this depends on whether you have the time and staff to build an HR application from scratch for example or would you rather spend your money on buying a packaged solution.

  • Developing reports using JDeveloper 3.0

    Is it possible to develop reports using jdeveloper 3.0, so that the end users can print reports over the internet? Is that a feature in jdeveloper or do I have to buy a third party tool?
    Thanks,

    Creating HTML/XML-XSL based reports in JDeveloper is completely doable.
    To do this you can either create a Servlet or a JSP. This JSP/Servlet can use either either JDBC or BC4J to access a datasource in the database.
    For further info on how to do this see the
    Java Server Pages overview at: http://tooldemo.oracle.com/demos/tools/jdeveloper/
    Hope this helps,

  • Direct calls within the oracle application server to the IIS using reverse

    trying to direct calls within the oracle application server to the IIS using reverse proxy. I am having problems...
    What is trying to be achieved is a call to the 3rd party web server (IIS with Oracle SSO plug-in) that will be invoked from the OAS.
    Any suggestions

    First you might get more response if you move your question to following forum:
    Oracle Application Server - General
    Second, I didn't quite understand your question. Can you pl. clarify it bit more? What exactly do you mean by invoking IIS from OAS (I am assuming by OAS you mean OC4J here)?

  • Integrating custom developed software with SAP B1.

    Dear Experts,
    We have developed a CRM application by using C#.NET and SQL Server. All the reports are developed by using Crystsl Reports.
    This CRM software meets the complete Customer Relation business requirements.
    We have installed SAP B1 also in our company, and planning to integrate the CRM software to B1.
    Is it possible to open the CRM application within SAP B1, say, if I click a Menu item? If so, how?
    Can I share the data between both B1 and CRM? and how it can be done?
    Please help.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Toms P Abraham

    Hi TomsPA,
    Is it possible to open the CRM application within SAP B1, say, if I click a Menu item? If so, how?
    Yes, it's possible. Just add a menu entry for you application (I suggest under Menu 43535 - Business Partners Module), catch the Menu Event for your menu entry and open your CRM App.
    You can find lots of topics about how to add Menus and handle Menu events here in the forum.
    Can I share the data between both B1 and CRM? and how it can be done?
    Yes you can, but it can sometimes be limited.
    You can catch the B1 FormData events and sincronize data with your CRM or you can use the B1 DI Event Service to notify your CRM when new data has been added/removed/updated in B1 and synchronize both apps then.
    I recommend you read this article about the method.
    Any specific issues, please let us know.
    Regards,

  • How can I develop EJBs using JDeveloper?

    Hi all.
    How can I develop EJBs (entity beans) using JDeveloper and deploying them on WebLogic6x
    server?
    Oracle says that JDeveloper enables to build and deploy applications to the WebLogic
    6x, but I can't do that with Entity Beans(CMP).
    I established the connection to the WebLogic and to the DataBase and they work.
    JDeveloper generate ejb-jar.xml and weblogic-ejb-jar.xml but not weblogic-cmp-rdbms-jar.xml.
    How can I build all the necessary xml's files? What I have to do? Exist a pluging
    to integrate JDeveloper with WebLogic?
    Thanks, and I hope your answers.
    Isra

    hello,
    in reports 6i the charts are created using oracle graphics which stores the chart definitions in a separate file (.OGD). there is not XML interface for graphics.
    with reports 9i and the introduction of the BIgraphBean the definition of the chart-properties is also done in XML.
    reports 9i will be available with iAS Release 2.

  • Problem Deploying Oracle PDK Portlet to Oracle Application Server 9.0.4.0

    I have a big issue trying to deploy a pdk portlet I have created in JDeveloper (10.1.2). The application is very simple, it consists of 2 JSP's (call them Select.jsp and Display.jsp) and 1 Java Class (Call it DoEverything.java).
    The architecture of the system is VERY simple. The Select.jsp is a simple drop down list that is embedded in an html form, with the options in the drop down populated by a method call from DoEverything.java. Once the user selects an option and hits submit, he is sent to the Display.jsp, which is a simple html table that is populated by another method call from DoEverything.java. (Basically the whole system is a simple "view" of a given table in a DB based on the option selected in Select.jsp).
    The system works perfect in JDeveloper, where I created it using the Oracle PDK Java Portlet wizard. However I'm running into a problem when I try and take it over to the Application Server. The main documentation I have been following is the: Oracle® Application Server Portal Developer's Guide and in particular the section 6.6.2.4.1 Creating a Connection to Oracle Application Server Containers for J2EE where it explains how to connect to the App. Server. The line "The steps that follow describe the procedure for deploying to a standalone instance of Oracle Application Server Containers for J2EE. For information about deploying to a full Oracle Application Server instance, please refer to the Oracle JDeveloper online Help system." is the one that is bothering me the most as I am trying to deploy to a full instance of the Oracle Application Server, but I cannot find anywhere that walks me through this in the online JDeveloper help.
    Anyway, currently we ftp the appropriate JSP's, Java Class, provider.xml and provider properties files to their respective directories on the Application Server, register the provider and reboot the Http Server. (This has worked before except for the fact that when the user selected an option from the Select.jsp and the request was then sent over to the Display.jsp based on the form action the Display.jsp wasn't recognized. We figured the provider.xml file needed to be edited in this case in order to know where Display.jsp was being kept). In any event nothing seems to be working at the moment and my main concern is that it maybe we should be deploying as EAR/WAR (both of which I'm not super familiar and my second main concern is that it seems most people use JavaBeans and Struts and all sorts of different API's whereas here I just have a fairly simple Java Class back end that connects to the database and creates an object based on the attributes contained in the database (1 object for 1 unique row in the DB) and I want to be sure that the way I have developed this should still work with the Oracle AS. I'm hoping its just a matter of getting the directory structure straightened out and editing the provider.xml file to include all the JSP's.
    Sorry for the long post, but if you could address my two main concerns and possible give me or point me towards a good thorough walk through of deploying a simple system (oracle pdk java portlet) like I have developed to the App. Server it would be greatly appreciated !
    Thanks a lot.

    Basically I started to develop this system inside Oracle AS and then when it came time to passing a request to a new page, it crapped out on me on the App. Server. So instead of trying to fix the problem there and then I continued to develop outside Portal and inside Jdeveloper. After a week or two once all my stuff worked perfectly I try and take it back into Portal but only the first JSP of all my Portlets would show up, because as soon as I would submit a form and the action directed me to a new page and Portal would be lost/confused. Obviously I shouldn't have done it that way but none the less...
    So now I'm reading through the documentation you pointed me towards and it seems I have to qualify my parameters and then "attach" them to the url which the form will pass to the actioned page. I'm importing numerous classes (...urlUtils, etc) in order to qualify the parameters and then build this url without affecting any parameters currently present that my portlet does not own.
    What I'm rambling towards here is all this separation of logic and presentation and the whole nine, implies different people can develop different parts of a 'system' mostly independant of one another...so in my situation I shouldn't in huge trouble yet, since underlying everything is a working system. My issue is with oracle and the App Server. If I take my code which works great outside of the App. Server and I fully qualify parameters and make sure my form actions are constructed using the UrlUtils in order to fully qualify them as well, and then I make sure page parameters are mapped to the proper portlet parameter values....should my system work on the App Server (assuming everything is done properly)....or am I still missing something.

  • Deploying a portlet to OAS 10.1.2 using JDeveloper

    Hi,
    Is it possible to deploy a portlet created in JDeveloper 10.1.3.2 to Oracle App Server 10.1.2. ?
    I created a simple portlet using the JDev 10.1.3.2 portlet wizard but when I went to deploy the portlet on Oracle App Server 10.1.2 using JDeveloper I get the following error message.
    (Earlier I had created a new server connection to my 10.1.2 server. I tested the connection to this server inside JDeveloper and there was no issues).
    Does anyone know what causes this issue ?
    HTTP response code = 200, HTTP response msg = OK
    Command has finished
    Receiving command exit value
    Receiving command output
    **** No output was received from command
    Closing connection to Oc4jDcmServlet
    #### DCM command did not complete successfully (-1)
    #### HTTP return code was -1
    Exit status of DCM servlet client: -1
    Elapsed time for deployment: 12 seconds
    #### Deployment incomplete. #### 13-Mar-2007 12:45:44
    Following on from this, if the above error cannot be resolved does this mean that I can't develop portlets for Oracle Portal 10.1.4 and gain the extra functionality (ADF Faces etc...) using JDeveloper 10.1.3.2 ? It appears that 10.1.3.2 is tied into the WebCentre Framework which would require an additional license in order to use some of the components, or am I missing something ?
    Am I better off sticking with JDeveloper 10.1.2 to develop my portlets ?
    Thanks.

    To deploy portlet to Oracle application server.
    1.     Install Oracle database 10g (10.1.0.4.2 or later)
    2.     Install Oracle Application Server (10.1.2.0.2) Infrastructure.
    3.     Install Oracle Application Server (10.1.2.0.2) J2EE and Web Cache
    4.     Install Oracle Application Server (10.1.2.0.2) Portal and Wireless.
    5.     Upgrade Portal to 10.1.4
    6.     Configure Java WSRP Container in Middle Tier
    7.     Deploy a WSRP Portlet Application to Oracle Application Server.

  • Putting Oracle Apps 11i on 10g RAC using VMware

    Hello All,
    I am building a Oracle Applications 11i on 10g RAC, using VMware..Since there aren't any docs I could find on internet explaining how to do this, I have come up with my own. I have combined the MEtalink doc:362135.1 and the docs describing building a 10gRAC "database" using VMware..I want to know if the below process is good enough to get the required results:
    Steps:
    -Install VMware on HOST m/c
    -Configure 1st virtual m/c, say RAC1
    -Install RHEL on RAC1
    -Install 11i with 9i database on the local SCSI bus- SCSI 0:0
    -Install VMware client tools
    -Create a new ethernet adapter(for private interconnect) on RAC1
    -Create shared disks on RAC1
    -Partition the disks
    -Add the disks as RAW devices in /etc/rawdevices
    -Clone RAC1 to a new virtual m/c,say RAC2
    -Delete the 11i apps directories from its local SCSI bus..since these would be redundant on RAC2
    -Install Clusterware s/w on RAC1 using the same oraInventory that is used by the Applications 11i installation-
    -Install the 10g DB software and create ASM instances using dbca
    -Install Database componenets from 10g companion CD
    -Upgrade CRS abd DB s/w to 10.2.0.4
    -Upgrade the 9i database to 10g using dbua from the 10g ORACLE_HOME
    -Convert the newly upgraded 10g databse to RAC using the rconfig tool
    -Post migration steps for RAC
    -Enable AutoConfig on the Applications Database tier
    - Follow the "Establish Applications Environment for RAC" section from Doc:362135.1
    -Configure PArallel Concurrent Processing(PCP)
    Thanks,
    Sandeep

    (Considering that there are only 2 nodes the scenario the steps would be as follows:
    1. Install RAC using the steps provided at the link:
    http://oracle-base.com/articles/10g/OracleDB10gR2RACInstallationOnCentos4UsingVMware.php
    2.On RAC1 create a single instance of Oracle 11i (Both DB and Apps are on the same node)
    3. Follow the steps outlined in the Note:362135.1
    One thing to note is that the steps are the same whether the nodes are real or virtual.
