Squid and Oracle Apps

Hello,
I hope I put this in a right forum. I'd put in the Linux (Non OEL) forum but still not solved yet.
I'm trying to setup squid in Fedora 13 and get a problem with Oracle Apps. I'd setup so that only certain user can request http service by setup the authentication.
By default, there's already acl rule for port 1025-65535 and I'd created a rule to allow access to my domain for our local user.
For the port the acl is like this : acl Safe_ports port 1025-65535
For the domain the acl is like this : acl tstdomain dstdomain_regex \.testdomain.com$
Now what I want to have is if a user doesn't have authentication, he/she can still access local webpage in our server, such as webserver or Oracle E-Business Suite.
I'd tested, using a user that doesn't have authentication, and can access all my server if the domain doesn't have any port but it didn't work for Oracle E-Business Suite, because to access the format is like http://hostname.domain_name:port_number.
I'd tested to put the port & allow http access specifically like this:
acl oratest_port port 8000
http_access allow oratest_port
and even removed the port restrictions
but still not worked.
If I take out the squid proxy and connect directly to Oracle Apps it worked without any problem.
Is there anything I need to add/change/misplaced? thanks.

Hi,
Please mention your application release along with the database version and OS.
Are you trying to setup a web cache? If yes, please refer to:
Note: 306653.1 - Installing and Configuring Web Cache 10.1.2 and Oracle E-Business Suite 11i
Note: 380486.1 - Installing and Configuring Web Cache 10g and Oracle E-Business Suite 12

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.

Do you have squid listening on the {font:Courier}:port_number{font}? There is an entry for that in the squid config file.Hi Tommy,
you mean beside the standard port to listen I must add another port to listen? So instead of having :
http_port 3128
I must have :
http_port 3128
http_port 8000
in my squid.conf?
Thanks
Had tried but that thing didn't work.
If I bypass squid then the connection to oracle ok. Even I entered username and password still can't access oracle but other web is ok. So something need to be done in squid. Anyone can help? Thanks.

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,

Discoverer 11g and Oracle apps

I have setup discoverer and everything is working. When calling from oracle apps, I am getting this error:
Could not locate or parse the .dbc file /ebs02/prod/discoverer/Oracle/Middleware/asinst_2/config/Discoverer/Discoverer_asinst_2//corpdevpl200-fin_prod.dbc corresponding to the given Oracle Applications instance.
The problem is the double slash before the dbc file. Where would the trailing slash come from? Any advice is appreciated.

The issue was that the opmn.xml file had a slash at the end of the fnd_secure variable, I removed it and the double slash problem was resolved! I did not edit the script, this was from the install. Possibly not many people have integrated 11.1.1.7 discoverer with EBS and make the call to discoverer from menu in EBS, hence this has not been reported.

Oracle Streams and Oracle Apps 11i

Hi,
I am looking for an oracle solution to build a reporting instance off an e-business suite 11i and offload discoverer reporting to the reporting instance. I have tried dataguard logical standby but too many issues and I cannot use. I am wondering if anyone tried using oracle streams to build a reporting instance from an oracle apps instance?
Thanks

Hi,
Is Streams supported in an E-Business Suite database? We once had a scenerio where some parameters for Streams were conflicting with parameters required for E-Business Suite performance improvement. I could not find any documents from Oracle to verify whether Streams on E-Business Suite database was a supported configuration or not.
So if you have any such document, could you send the link to me?
Also please provide the link to your white paper/presentation.

Who do you think you are kidding? That code couldn't possibly run without errors.
The first thing you need to do is learn how to connect to an Oracle database using Java on your pc. Then you can start branching out.
Review the JDBC Developer Guide for how to connect to Oracle databases using Java.

Development Question Pertaining to Discoverer and Oracle Apps

Hi All,
I have a Disco Development question. First of all I am in an Oracle Apps environment.
Here is my situation. I received a specification to make sure our End User Layer has the capability to create a workbook
which has the following information in it:
1. Onhand inventory by lot information using the GMF_PERIOD_BALANCES table.
2. Demand pegging (from the msc_demands table) associated with this onhand inventory.
3. Accounting cost information (GL_ITEM_CST information).
4. They also want more detailed item master information information (e.g. catalog descriptive element information and costing category).
Here is a solution to address this:
-Take existing inventory by lot views we have and use the the gmf_period_balances table in lieu of the mtl_onhand_quantity_details table. Within this same
view, add pegging information. This has been implemented in a development environment.
-Take existing costing views (using the component_cost_details table) and replace with the gl_item_cst.
-Take existing view associated with item detail information and make sure all catalog descriptive elements and costing category information have been added.
My next main dilemma for this problem is to address the best way to join these views in the Discoverer end user layer. Here are the approaches I see:
1. Encapsulate the item detail information with the onhand, period end with pegging view. Next, create a join with the costing view.
     pros: In my testing of this, the totalling works with extending item costing (item cost x onhand inventory).
     cons: Refresh times and scalability of this solution are concerning (consider a couple of people using this at the same time). Also, there is no nice
     way to join these two views (there is a n x m relationship between these two views). For instance, the costing calendar is used in the accounting costing
     view, and the general ledger calendar is used in the GMF_PERIOD_BALANCES table.
2. Abandon a two or three view approach. Create an uber view which encapsulates the onhand quantity, pegging, standard costing and item detail information.
     pros: A more simpler end user experience which should then allow for the totalling to work.
     cons: Very easy for an end user to obtain a result set which is part of a cartesian product (e.g. multiple general ledger periods are included in this workbook
     with multiple costing periods). Doubtful that this workbook would be refreshable.
3. Fan trap solution which would be some variation of onhand view being joined to an item details folder which is joined to the pegging details updated.
     pros: Without too much work, I am able to get this to work, except totaling.
     cons: Totaling.
     Please let me know what your thoughts are regarding the best approach.
     Thanks,
     Patrick

Hi,
Where you have complex joins I would always go for a single view. It keeps Discoverer simple and allows you to concentrate performance effort building the view. Generally you can build in conditions to stop a cartesian product.

ADF and Oracle Apps

I have heard that OAF is much better for Oracle Apps related work than ADF. Is that true?
Can ADF work with Oracle Apps better than OAF?

Umm ..I would put it this way .. OAF is tightly integrated with Oracle Applications which does not necessarily mean that it is better than ADF.
The entire fusion applications has been built on ADF - so have no doubt that ADF is good to work with Oracle Apps. ADF is going to be the future of interacting with Oracle Apps .. just my 2 pennies :)

Problem wid SOA10g and Oracle Apps on same machine.

Installation of Oracle Discoverer for PeopleSoft and Oracle apps(11.5.10)

Hello Gurus,
I hope I am in the right forum. I have been assigned to install Oracle Discoverer for Oracle ERP (11.5.10). We currently have a Oracle Discoverer environment for Peoplesoft. My questions are follows.
1. Can I use the existing Oracle Discoverer which is used to get PeopleSoft data for Oracle Applications (11.5.10) ?? This way I avoid installing another copy of Discoverer. In Future, if we could use the existing technology for other Databases.
2. If I go in for a new install of Oracle Discoverer, what is that I need to install ? I am guessing, there should be
1. Desktop application on the client
2. Do I need to install anything on the server ?
3. I will have a Oracle Discoverer database
I guess 1. (Desktop application) would be installed on all desktops ? Is there a web based thingy ?? For 2 and 3 I would require the DBA's to help me out.
Would anyone have a high level diagram of the things that go in for installation ? I would really appreciate if you could send it to kiranramachandra at yahoo dot com.
Thanks folks
Kiran

Hi,
1. No, you don't need to reinstall Discoverer, you can just connect to the new database provided you have updated the TNSNames.ora file. However, before you can connect with Discoverer Desktop you will need to use Discoverer Admin to create a new Apps mode EUL in the Applications Database.
2. You will need a client installation of Discoverer (Admin and Desktop). If you want to use the web based Discoverer Plus and Viewer tools you will need to a Oracle Application Server installation. If you are installing Discoverer 10g then you should install the Oracle Business Intelligence Standard Edition. But depending on your version and configuration you may need to install other tools.

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.

Discoverer and Oracle apps

Can someone pls tell me how different the resulting output can be when connected to an apps database as a native database user instead of an apps user in Oracle discoverer.
Cheers

Hi,
When you connect to an Apps database as a native database user your database session is not Applications aware and so although you can write Discoverer reports from the underlying database tables you cannot use any Applications security and many of the Applications views.
If you connect as an Apps user database session is initialised as the Apps user and therefore you can apply the same security that is applied in Applications. You can also use responsibilities to secure workbooks and business areas in your EUL. Users will only be able to see the organisations, segments etc that they can see in Applications. Also many views with built in security and packages for doing complex calculations will be available to you if you use an Apps mode EUL.
That's a brief overview to a complex topic.

Different Output of the template from Template Builder and Oracle Apps.

Hi,
I have created a template with a page layout of 11" X 17" this template has around 18 columns.
When i load the XML data and run it from XML Template builder 5.6.2 the output is fine but when I run it through oracle applications i get different output basically the output from oracle applications comes in 7 pages (First page has half page output , 2 nd page has 3/4th page output.....) where as from XML template builder the output comes in 6 Full pages.
Wher am i going wrong.
Thanks in Advance.

The output is in PDF format.
