Setting a user connection timeout in E-Business suite 11i

Hello
I want to be able to disconnect user from the system after a certain amount of idle time to save system resources. Unfortunately, the options offered by oracle support and documentation aren't good enough. One option is to use IICX:Session Timeout profile which shows a message when the connection times out, but that doesn't really free system resources as it keeps the user session.
Another option is to use FORMS60_TIMEOUT and apache heartbeat variables to disconnect the session after certain idle time.
A third option is to use database profiles to limit sessions idle time.
The problem is that the two last options causes the system to show the user "raw" error messages (usually FRM-92100 error) that says that the session has been reset. Then the users are confused and call support, saying something is wrong with the system.
Is there another, better way to do it ? A fourth option ?
If not, is there a way I can capture the FRM-92100 error and present the user a more informative message ?
Thanks
Guy

In addition to ICX: Session Timeout, you must also setup session.timeout in zone.properties (or s_sesstimeout in the $CONTEXT_FILE) in milliseconds to exactly match the ICX: Session Timeout in minutes or the sessions termination does not work.
Forms session timeout
If you require a more informative error message, you will need to capture the error message and massage it in CUSTOM.pll.

Is there a risk of setting a console connection timeout and what is the recommended setting?

Is there a risk of setting a console connection timeout and what is the recommended setting? Please suggest if there is any best prctice documentation that can be referred.

Hi Henrik
depend on what you need or what your security policy says for my lab gear i use 60 minutes. because i know how can access this. if you have gear outside in insecure space set it to a minimum or disable the console. everybody how can access your gear can break in. simple restart and boot w/o config. and you are in.
it realy depends how secure is your space and how much security you need.
and than the settings for policy have to match, what sec do you have if your console login and logout is secure. but when you restart you can simple break in by starting w/o config and than load it.

Dear, All -
ORACLE E-BUSINESS SUITE 11i
Is there a query to find out a list of users who were created but never logged into the system. I believe these users do no appear in FND_USER table since they never logged in.
Thanks in advance!

Integrate an Apex Application with the E-Business Suite 11i

Hi !
I'm currently working to get connected to APEX (Application Express 3.2.1.00.11) using an E-Business Suite 11i form function then using the ICX cookie.
I'm using a document created by Rod West(consultant at Cabot Consulting) to help me doing this connection.
The document is : http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/pdf/apex_ebs_wp_cabot_consulting.pdf
I always have errors when I try to get connected using the method suggested in the document.
The error I have received is :
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist ORA-00942: table or view does not exist ORA-06512: at "APPS.ICX_SEC", line 2388 ORA-06510: PL/SQL: unhandled user-defined exception
This error seems to come from wfa_sec.getsession(:P101_USERNAME) used in the Before Header process of the login page(Page101).
See code here (Figure 10 in the document) :
BEGIN
wfa_sec.getsession(:P101_USERNAME);
:P101_PASSWORD :=
XXAPX_SECURITY_PKG.generate_hash
(FND_GLOBAL.user_name);
IF :P101_PASSWORD IS NOT NULL THEN
APEX_CUSTOM_AUTH.login(
P_UNAME => :P101_USERNAME,
P_PASSWORD => :P101_PASSWORD,
P_SESSION_ID => v('APP_SESSION'),
P_APP_PAGE => :APP_ID||':1'
END IF;
EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN NULL;
END;
I have done a "GRANT EXECUTE ON apps.WFA_SEC" to my APEX Schema, so the APEX Schema should have access to everything used by the package... I have tried to "GRANT EXECUTE ON" ICX_SESSIONS but I still have the same error...
Do I need to do other "GRANT" ? Have you experienced the same problem ?
Thanks for your help !

Hi !
Yes, I have already created synonyms but I still got the same errors...the error seems to be related to a table used in the package icx_sec...I have tried to grant and create synonym for tables icx_transactions and icx_sessions but I still got the error. Any ideas ?
I have also tried to use the method (OWA_COOKIE.send) suggested in the 2007 version of the Rod West's document (the method you mentionned in the thread) and I'm able to get connected to my APEX application using the E-Business Menu but I have an intermittent problem with this method.. In fact, some days I'm able to get connected to APEX at the first try but some days I received "Invalid Login Credentials" at the first try and at the second try I get connected...And we haven't found any reasons yet for the intermittent "Invalid Login Credentials" ?
Have you experienced the same intermittent problem on your side ?
Thanks !

BI Publisher with Oracle e-Business Suite 11i in EBS security mode

Seems I submitted below in wrong forums earlier so posing to correct one now. Appreciate any help.
Hi All,
I want to configure BI Publisher that comes as a part of OBIEE in Oracle E-Business Suite security mode. My Oracle E-Business Suite 11i runs on 3 node RAC database and 3 node apps tier/cm tier. As per configuration guide, I changed security mode in BIP to 'Oracle E-Business' and uploaded DBC file from E-business suite Web&Forms tier. In DBC file TWO_TASK parameter has value of test_806_BALANCE which is just an alias in tnsnames.ora for load balancing. Now when I go to BI publisher and click on 'Roles and Permission' tab in security center, it gives me 500 Internal server error.
But if I change this TWO_TASK value to any particular RAC instance sid, I am able to see all responsibility in Roles and Permission tab. This seems that BI Publisher makes jdbc connection url to database on the fly by reading DB_HOST, dB_Port and TWO_TASK parametes from dbc file and due to this my BI Publisher is single point of failure if the RAC instance goes down which I mentioned in DBC file. Even though E-Business Suite is in HA, BI publisher is not taking advantage of this HA db.
Any one has idea how to over come this situation.

You can try for a luck by posting the thread in BI Publisher Section of this Forum..

Load Balancing E-Business Suite 11i using BIG-IP

"Has anyone deployed an Oracle E-Business Suite 11i solution in a load balanced environment based on the F5 BIG-IP 2400 device?"
Background:
When loadbalanced, Oracle forms requires a form of persistence to be in place, presumably to maintain state information.
If using simple persistence based on client source IP address, then there is no problem.
However in our environment, 1000s of clients are hidden behind the single IP address of a proxy server, therefore simple persistence will provide true load balancing.
The alternative is cookie based persistence which will allow true load balancing even with clients hidden behind a proxy. However the challenge here is that Oracle Forms is java and not http based which means that BIG-IP cannot insert an http cookie into the java packets sent to the client by the Oracle server.
If anyone has come across this issue and found a way round it, could you please describe how this is achieved? Either by configuration of the BIG-IP switch or at the Oracle Application side.

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.

E-Business Suite 11i apps on RedHat Linux 4 or 5

Hi,
Our E-business suite 11i has been running on the application tiers RHEL 4, due to the requirement to support large memory configurations on a 32-bit system. Is it true that from RHEL 5, the “hugemem” kernel which achieves this 32-bit memory scalability has been deprecated in favour of the use of 64-bit kernels?
Our Oracle 11g database is running on RedHat Linux 5.8. Is E-Business suite 11i (application tiers) certified to run on RHEL 5.8?
Also for future planning, is E-Business suite 12 (application tiers) certified to run on which versions of RedHat?
Thanks,
Jimmy

E Business Suite 11i Server Spec for Linux?

Does anyone know, or can suggest possibilities, of a server spec for 11i on Linux. This is for a small company installation of 11i.
Where can I go to ansewer questions like this?
What Linux distributions are supported for 11i?
I was thinking of multiple CPU's, highpoint raid controllers to give RAID 0+1, and 1 or 2 Gb of memory.
thanks
