Oracle VM and E-Business Suite 11.5.10 or R12

Hi,
Has someone tried setting up Oracle E-Business Suite 11.5.10 or Release 12 on Oracle VM. As per Metalink Note: 464754.1 and Oracle VM FAQs at OTN, it is supported and certified, but didn't get any further information.
Also, if one has to install Oracle E-Business Suite 11.5.10 or Release 12 on Oracle VM, following path can be followed:
1. Setup Oracle VM on raw box
2. Create a Oracle Enterprise Linux VM under Oracle VM.
3. Install Oracle E-Business Suite 11.5.10 or Release 12 on VM created in Step 2.
Will be great if someone can provide more insight into that, as lot of businesses are going towards virtualization.
Regards,
Preet

Good news, Pascal
Can you share your experience like is there anything need to be considered while doing R12 setup on Oracle VM or it is like a standard installation at physical node?

ADF and E-Business Suite 11i

Hi,
I am looking for some information about using Oracle ADF with E-Business Suite 11i, JDeveloper version is 9i. Most of the documentation I've seen has been specific for R12.
Hoping someone can provide some information/links to documentation about the following:
-Requirements for setting up the environment (hardware, servers, versions) for Oracle ADF for E-Business Suite 11i.
-Can you call an ADF form from E-Business Suite 11i OAF form or menu?
-Any tutorials, demos related to ADF/E-Business Suite 11i/JDeveloper9i
Thanks in advance!

You can find the specific hardware specs for your development environment in the JDeveloper install guide.
Documentation
I would recommend you'll go with the latest 11.1.2.4 version for custom application development.
As for server requirements, this is something that will depend on the load your application expects to get and on its specific functionality. It can best be answered by doing some performance tests of your specific app.

Oracle Identity and Access Management Suite Plus Integration with Oracle ADF

Hi All,
Kindly advice if Oracle Identity and Access Management Suite Plus can be integrated with Oracle ADF based applications to manage the end-to-end lifecycle of user accounts specifically addressing to roles/priviledges and security.
Request you to share links to documentation where I can study the steps to integrate both the frameworks.
Looking forward to hear from you soon.
Best Regards,
Ankit Gupta

Integrating Collaboration Suite, Oracle Portal and E-Business to SSO

Hello,
I am in the middle of integrating several Oracle applications and one non-Oracle application to an Identity Management fresh installation.
I found the procedure to integrate E-Business to SSO, with bi-directional provisioning, but I am stuck with the integration of the next applications, Oracle Collaboration Suite and Oracle Portal:
1. How to integrate them to my new SSO Server? is it enough with the ssoreg.sh script?
2. What happens to the users? do I have to manually import them into my new SSO/OID install?
3. What happens with new users? how do they get created? are they now created in the new SSO/OID server?
If someone has had any experience with this kind of tasks, I will really appreciate your feedback. Thanks in advance.

You might ask this question in the Streams forum. You might ask it in the e-Business Suite forum. You might ask it at metalink. But asking it here is not likely to get you the definitive answer you need. I would make sure, before I made such a business decision, I heard it directly from Oracle Support Services.

Deploy own Web App on a Oracle 9i with E-Business Suite

Hi!
I have an existing 9iAS that is hosting Oracle E-Business Suite 11.5.9. I need to deploy an additional web application there. My question is, is OC4J hosting eBS? If i deploy the web application, is it as easy as dropping a war file there?
I hope to hear from you guys soon..

Did you ever find a solution to this? I am trying to make a custom ASP application work from Oracle Apps 11.5.10.2 and am not having any luck.

Developer License for DB and E-Business Suites

I was a fulltime Oracle DBA from 1982 until 2003. Since then I have only done occasional consulting, setting up RMAN, installing software, patches, etc. for Oracle products, and I no longer have a MetaLink account (disabled) as I am not currently a customer or working for a customer.
It used to be that CD Packs could be purchased (or you could download) and you could use the software for development purposes without paying for the license - under the premise of a "developer's license".
Now it seems that the "Trial Packs" are limited to 30 days and after that you have to purchase a full license.
I want to get back into my DBA role and need the software, on 64 bit Linux, in order to get back up to speed - and 30 days is not sufficient for my plans. I have never had more than fleeting exposure to Oracle financials, and I also want to install some of the E-Business Suite.
Is there sill a developer's license good for truly developing or self-training? and is there a way to obtain the necessary MetaLink account without being a paying customer? MetaLink was a daily destination for me as a DBA. I can't imagine it being any less so today.
Thanks in advance for your consideration.

Thank you Yingkuan. Oracle Express isn't a solution. I have worked with Oracle versions 2 through 10g and still have valid copies of 9iR2 (and others) that I could practice with. I need current, hands-on experience with the current products.
I have a 4 core, 8 GB RAM, 3 TB RAID setup with 64 bit Linux... not exactly the investment you put out for Oracle Express.
I said MetaLink was a "daily destination" (not a "day to day job")... when supporting between 12 and 20 instances, managing 3 to 4 junior to mid-level DBAs, supporting both production and development, and working with 10 or 12 developers, it always was a daily destination. Granted, there are a LOT of things answered by Google and other sites (like Werner Puschitz's site); but, Oracle is, or should be, the source.
Thanks again for your response.

Upgrading E-Business Suite 11.5.9 to R12

Hi All,
This question must have been asked before, so if that's the case, I would appreciate if you can direct me to the forum thread or document.
We have two identical Dell Servers hosting Red Hat Linux Advanced Server 2.1 and running Oracle Applications 11.5.9 (base. no CU is installed) on Oracle Database 9i (9.2.0.3). Database and Application tiers are on the same server. Servers are named oraprod and oratest. So far, so good.
We need to upgrade our hardware and Oracle E-business suite at the same time. Oracle E-Business will be upgraded to the latest version along with the database (possibly to the latest version). Database and Application will still be running on a single server.
We already purchase two new and better servers (identical) for the new oraprod and oratest.
What is the best upgrade path we should be following? I do not mean the upgrade specifics of the Applications and the Database, they are explained in detail in the Maintenance Wizard and product documents.
This is what I think I will follow:
- Install new OS (RedHat 5) onto the new servers
- Copy Database and Application directories onto the server
- Run Upgrade process
Does this sound correct to you guys?
Regards,

Hi, Hussein,
I did see the adgrants.sql after the patch installation and ran it, but AD patch had some errors. One of them about not being able to generate the jar files. I ignored it and chose to continue, thinking that I can generate them with adadmin utility later. Adadmin failed with the following error message:
adearea();
Warning=> unable to locate /u0/oracle/prod/comn/java/owa.zip file.

stating that "JRE 1.1.8 and java 1.3.1 are not certified on Red Hat or Oracle Enterprise Linux 5." It also directs me to upgrade it by following one these documents:
Please upgrade to java 1.4.2 or higher, following the appropriate note:
Note 246105.1 - Upgrading to J2SE 1.4.2 with Oracle Applications 11i to upgrade to java 1.4.2.
Note 304099.1 - Using J2SE Version 5.0 with Oracle E-Business Suite 11i
Note 401561.1 - Using J2SE Version 6 with Oracle E-Business Suite 11i
Would it be enough to upgrade it to version 1.4.2? Because the minimum patch levels for the other versions (J2SE 5.0 and 6) are much higher than what I have.
Can you please advise?
Thank you,
Sinan

Oracle IAMS and UCS (Communications Suite) interoperability - is there any?

I am relatively new to Oracle IAMS, but had some experients with Sun IDM. It seems the two projects are quite different, with IDM being essentially a replicator of entered (or sucked-in) user metadata into slave repositories such as LDAP servers, databases, MSAD and automated human workflows. IAMS includes several LDAP servers of its own and relies on Oracle database for many of its components, and seems like a much more complex solution...
So the first short question is thus: is IAMS just a replicator of user account data from some authoritative source(s) into other repositories, or is it something much more that that (and can it work as such a replicator at all)?
Anyway, the bigger quest I'm facing is this: a customer wants the IAMS deployment to be the only place that stores information about user accounts, roles, policies, etc. This is considered sensitive data, and Oracle is trusted to store it, while other systems should not have their replicas but rather make queries into IAMS repository services whenever they want to process data for some user account, determine assigned roles to authorize some activity, etc.
One of these other systems is Oracle Unified Communications Suite (nee Sun Java Communications Suite), which relies on Sun/Oracle DSEE as the LDAP server to store its "user-group" data and lots of configuration data. IIRC the CommSuite documentation implied that other LDAP servers are not guaranteed to work, at least not for all types of data. For example, it was required to replicate data from MSAD into DSEE (with an IDM or with ISW), or set up pass-through auth via DSEE into MSAD, or maybe glue the two systems into a virtual LDAP service with DPS, etc.
So, the question is: can any of the LDAP services in IAMS be used directly by OUCS components? Can IAMS replace the OUCS Delegated Admin for management of users (creation of accounts and the myriad of email/calendar/instmsg/addressbook LDAP properties, setup of quotas and allowed "service packages", etc.)
If not, what sort of OUCS data can be stored outside its own LDAP service? In this context I'm interested in storing users' names, physical addresses, phones, preferably address-books, etc. in IAMS repositories for "sensitive data", while configuration stuff like mail filters, quotas, etc. and "un-individualized" UIDs might be stored in OUCS DSEE catalogs if they must.
Ultimately, some mix of DSEE and IAMS might be representable by DSEE DPS as well, and seem enough like a DSEE instance for the OUCS components...
What is doable and possible in this scenario? What reasonable questions did I not know enough to ask? ;)
Thanks in advance,
//Jim Klimov

Oracle 9i and 9i Developer Suite don't work together

I've tried to install 9i and 9iDS in different homes. Then, I can work with SQL*Plus (of 9i) but all 9i DS's applications don't work at all. The main problem is that I can not connect to the Database of 9i.
Is there any body know the solution? Pls help, this is the first time I use developer suite to study Form and Report.

this tnsping was a great start. it allows the user to find another place to look for errors ora files.
I was looking in every instance of my TNSnames.ora files. the one in the 9i as well as the 10g were alike and fine. I had to comment out some bad lines from the 10g ora file. the tnsping found the SQLnet.ora file that contained an error. in this case the error was the same line needed to be commented out.
it is not that I forgot to do so but I didnt know that this line was even in any of the files.
this tnsping works as a great trouble shooter.
thanks...

Report Builder Question: Printing PO's from E-Business Suite - POXPRPOL

I'm hoping there's someone who has the time to help me: We are using Report Builder 9, Oracle 9i, and E-Business Suite 11.5.10.
I am a new developer using Oracle, and need to make some changes to the seeded (default) POXPRPOL (Purchase Order Print - Landscape) report, using Report Builder.
I have two problems:
1. When I print PO Releases from E-Business Suite, and specify I want releases 1 through 2, I get those fine, but the first page is my "Purchase Agreement". The question is: Is there any way (programatically or otherwise) to say "When the "Release" fields are filled out, don't include the Purchase Agreement?
2. Somehow, after making a few changes to the POXPRPOL report, my quantity has disappeared. Is there any suggestions on how this could happen? I look at the query where they are using "POL.QUANTITY_TO_PRINT" for the working and the non-working reports, and they look identical.
I'm hoping DESPERATELY that someone can help me - I'm really in a bind...
Thanks!
Steve

Srini,
Thanks so much for your reply!!!
1. Ok, but how do I hide a whole page? I noticed the conditional formatting, but I want to "not print" a whole page when this page is a "Purchase Agreement".
2. I've checked the source - it's coming from POL.QUANTITY_TO_PRINT - POL is a view that is unpopulated. I assume it's populated at run-time. So now I am trying to track down where it's populated, but can't find that in report builder. The quantity is being taken into account, because I put a total at the bottom of the page, and that number matches price * pol.quantity_to_print. Very strange...
Finally, here's another question, if you don't mind:
3. When I print a purchase order that is set up as a blanket, as I mentioned before, I get my "Purchase Agreement" first, and then one (or more) pages per release. But the "Page Number" on each is "1" because each is a one-page PO. But my "total pages" is "3", so each page reads "Page 1 of 3". Any idea if there's a way around that?
Thanks again! Hoping you have some more insight! :)
Cheers!

Haley Rules Engine - HaleyAuthority with respect to Oracle E Business Suite

I am currently exploring on Haley Rules Engine which is recently aquired by Oracle.
As per my investingation, i came to know that HaleyAuthority ruleEngine is available as plugin from the recent release of Siebel CRM 8.0 installation and onwards.
Here goes my questions
1) is this haleyAuthority rule engine available as third party tool? If so, How to integrate with Oracle E- Business Suite.
2) Like Siebel 8.0, Is this HaleyAuthority plugged in any latest version of our oracle E- Business Suite?
Please let me know your understanding and information on Haley Rules Engine with respect to Oracle E-Business Suite.
Thanks in Advance.

Praveen ,
May be late for you (but for others looking similar information)
haleyAuthority is different from Haley Determination Services (now Oracle Policy Automation)
OPA (Haley's Determination Services) are available as Web Service which you can invoke from E-Business Suite or Use Fusion Middleware (SOA Suite / BPEL) as layer between OPA and E-Business Suite

OLS integration with Oracle E-Business Suite

Hi,
we want to implement OLS (9i DB) in Oracle E-Biz suite (11i.10) environment for data security both at backend (DB) and front-end for E-Biz applications. Can anyone please provide some material/ references highlighting the integration steps for the front end part, like:
- how to apply the OLS policy applicable to Application user to 'APPS' or other DB users which are actually interacting with the DB from E-Biz applications ?
- how to apply the OLS policy in case of batch jobs, advanced queues etc that are using different DB user(s), separate from 'APPS'
Whether it would be better if the E-Biz application front end security part is done using Data security and Role based access control (RBAC), roles matching with OLS policy etc when we compare that with OLS policy used for both front end and Database ?
Thanks in advance for your help!

E-Business Suite 11i with ESSO and Identity Manager

Hi,
We want to use Identity Manager to provision user information to Active Directory, MS Exchange, and E-Business Suite. Also, intend to deploy e-sso to provide single sign-on experience for desktop and web based applications.
Has anyone integrated Oracle E-Business Suite 11.5.10.2 with Enterprise Single Sign-On and Identity Manager (Identity Management)?
Can we achieve it without using Oracle Internet Directory/OracleAS 10g Single Sign-On?
Any relevant information or issues faced during integration, would be helpful.
Regards.

Hi,
for this integration you will need Provisioning Gateway component of the ESSO suite, and the included OIM-ESSO PG Connector.
The eBusiness Java interface can be integrated with eSSO, trough the java helper object.
There are several metalink notes that describe the OIM-PG integration:
NOTE: 550639.1 eSSO: Overview And Troubleshooting Of OIM Integration With Provisioning Gateway
NOTE: 550642.1 eSSO: OIM PG Integration: ProvisioningInstructionException: The user is not authorized for the action
NOTE: 550645.1 eSSO: OIM PG Integration: Error in Sending Request to web service
NOTE: 550646.1 eSSO: OIM PG Integration: Unsupported major.minor version 49.0
NOTE: 550641.1 eSSO: OIM PG Integration: Add_credential Execution Failed. Error: XPathFactory
NOTE: 550643.1 eSSO: OIM PG Integration: Could not find IT asset value for Svr_key
Yes, with eSSO-OIM you wont need Oracle Internet Directory/OracleAS 10g Single Sign-On.

Reconcilliation with E-Business Suite and OID using DIP?

I am planning a E-Business Suite (11.5.10) / SSO (IDM 10.1.4.0.1) implementation using AD sync and WNA. On both the AD and E-Business Suite sides there are existing users with account names that do, and do not match. We would like to reconcile these existing accounts as part of the initial load into OID, rather than use the "link on the fly" or "auto link user" capabilities to link users on first login. I cannot see in the documentation how this would be approached using the DIP. Can anyone tell me if this is possible and if so point me in the right direction?

Ryan
You can do this by first loading your existing ActiveDirectory accounts to OID, and then updating the USER_GUID field on FND_USER table with the corresponding orclguid of the user entry on OID.
You can either update this table directly or use the FND_USER_PKG api. There are some notes on Metalink about this but they are intented for when you delete and recreate a user account with the same login. (ex, note 399117.1). But dont expect much help from support if you have trouble.
Also you can expect to have some trouble since there will be some logins only on Oracle Applications and your network admin might creates a new account with a login that already exists on Oracle Applications and is linked to a different login on the network.
Best Regards,
Luis
