Tuxedo/Powerbuilder Integration Questions

Please excuse my ignorance.
Anyone have experience with Tuxedo (unix) to Powerbuilder (Win32) interaction?
Just how easy/hard is it?
Is there a Tuxedo supplied DLL (or whatever) that provides the interface as shown
for C/COBOL? (it is not immediately obvious from the intro.pdf or the tutor.pdf)
How easy is it to implement datawindows (or equivilent) in the Tuxedo framework?
Any code examples we can look at?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Tuxedo has /WS which allows Win32 clients to call Tux services. From
PowerBuilder you can call these /WS DLLs directly or wrap them up in a C DLL
with Visual C++.
It is up to you. The DLLs you may need are (in %TUXDIR%\bin and
%TUXDIR%\lib): wtuxws32.dll and libwsc.dll (the least). But in the Runtime
you will need the full /WS worksation installation. See Tux's online docs
for /WS.

Process Integrator question?

Hi,
I'm not sure where to ask a Process Integrator question so I have
decided to ask here. I have been asked to look at business
process (workflow) automation. I have read the datasheet and your
whitepaper on Process Integrator and my question at the moment
is "How do we integrate Process Integrator with existing sets of
EJB's? How does it tie together with WebLogic 5.1 (is it a bunch
of EJB's deployed on top of the app server ala Commerce Server)?
I'm looking for more technical answers so that I have a reasonable
understanding in estimating how much work/effort it would take
to use this product. I also know that this is your engine for your
future Collaborate product, however, that product will not be
available soon enough to tackle our customers current needs.
Thanks for your patience in reading this long message and
I would appreciate any answers including "forget about it until
Collaborate goes to market!". I would like to give an honest
technical reason to my manager about why we should
consider (or not consider) using Process Integrator.
Thanks again!

I don't know much about WLPI, but I have forwarded this along internally and
someone should be contacting you soon.

OAM SSO integration question:How can I get a user identity from ObSSOCookie

We are building an OAM SSO solution. The App server is both on OAS and WLS. My question is that, after I get the ObSSOCookie from httprequest.
I need to verify whether the ObSSOCookie is a valid one, and I also need to get user identity from the cookie and pass it to login module to populate user principal
Of course, one way of doing that is to install access manager SDK and go from there. But we support multiple OS, it's a pain to add Access manager SDK to different installer for different OS.
I am trying to use IdentityXML Functions which is a SOAP based webservice so that I don't need to worry about the OS platform. But I can't find a webService which returns user identity based on a valid ObSSOCookie. It seems that I can invoke webService with valide ObSSOCookie, but there is no way to get the user identity back. Am I missing something?
Hope someone can help me out.
Thanks.

Ok. Sounds like you are a vendor trying to play well in an SSO environment.
Here is what I tell OAM customers when they are evaluating software to see if it will cooperate with a system like OAM.
Can the software's native authentication scheme be explicitly turned off (usually a configuration in a file)?
Can the software be configured to accept a token of identity in the form of a Cookie or HeaderVar (also configurable in a file)?
If the answer to both is yes, then the system is capable of 'third party trust' for authentication.
From your perspective, your logic for login should be something like:
Is my native authN turned off?
If yes, can I find the cookie or header that I should be looking for?
If yes, take the value and proceed to create user session for this identity per usual (except that you never evaluated the authN - you trust that it was done).
If no, present the native AuthN scheme anyway.
If you follow this pattern, you are in the good company of folks like PeopleSoft and Plumtree who had these types of integrations working long ago.
Yes, there are other ways to do this but, in my humble opinion, this remains the most stable and effective pattern we see.
What you ask for as the identity token value is up to you. It is often the login ID value that you would have used in your own authN procedure. There's nothing particularly sensitive about having a webgate set headers - they are only available to the server and not to the client. Cookie of course could be seen but can't be spoofed as the webgate has the final word on it's content.

ECC 5.0 and CRM 7.0 Integration Questions

Hello,
We are on ECC 5.0 and are part of a global implementation that is putting in CRM 7.0.
We have a couple of issues/questions.
1. We want to integrate ECC Internal Orders with CRM Contracts and Orders. However we don't see the ECC Internal Order type SAPS in ECC 5.0. What release/plugin would give us SAPS Internal order type
2. We currently use CS and PM in ECC, and we have equipment and func. locations. Do we need to be on a certain version/plugin to integrate Equipment and Func. Locations with CRM iBase?
3. Any tips/suggestions on integrating Vertex with CRM for taxes.
Thanks
chris

Hi
Here are the Answers
1. We want to integrate ECC Internal Orders with CRM Contracts and Orders. However we don't see the ECC Internal Order type SAPS in ECC 5.0. What release/plugin would give us SAPS Internal order type
- This is release indepedant- It is been available from R/3 4.7 so you should have it, if you dont have an SAPS order type, you have 2 options
1. Create your own SAPS Order type
2. Define RFC from Client "000" and push the order type. This must be available in "000" as a standard delivery, may be your Basis did not move the order types properly.
2. We currently use CS and PM in ECC, and we have equipment and func. locations. Do we need to be on a certain version/plugin to integrate Equipment and Func. Locations with CRM iBase?
Yes you can have the equipment and Functional Locations, but for FLocs to download to CRM you need ECC6.0 with Sp6 anything below cannot be integrated or downloaded with CRM7.0 .. for Equipments any versions are fine and you do all configuration and customization in CRM
3. Any tips/suggestions on integrating Vertex with CRM for taxes.
Its a broad question, SAP provides standard integration option to vertex, and you integrate as needed..
let me know if you need anything else.

IPhoto/Aperture 1.5 Integration questions

Aperture 1.5 allows you to keep iPhoto pictures where they are with a "reference" from Aperture.
But since I upgraded to Aperture 1.5, I have the opposite problem -- how do I keep my pictures in Aperture but have iPhoto reference them? With previous versions of Aperture I already copied in all my iPhoto pictures and subsequently got rid of my iPhoto library (to save space).
However, I would like to use iPhoto for its better Slideshow capabilities and FrontRow integration.
So here are some questions:
[1] Should I just set preference in iPhoto to not "Copy files to iPhoto Library Folder" and import the entire Aperture library?
[2] Will it copy the albums from Aperture intact?
[3] How much additional disk space (if any) will this use up?
[4] What is the signifcance of setting up previews in Aperture (which I have done)?
[5] In iPhoto I see that there is File>Show Aperture Library... where I can see thumbnails of my Aperture pictures. What else is this used for? (i.e. can I import pictures using this feature?)
[6] If, subsequent to import, I add to the Aperture libary, will that automatically synchronize with the iPhoto library, or do I have to iPhoto-import the entire Aperture library every time new photos are added to the Aperture library?
iMac 17 1.25 GHz; iMac 20 Intel Mac OS X (10.4.7)

[1] Should I just set preference in iPhoto to
not "Copy files to iPhoto Library Folder" and
import the entire Aperture library?
[2] Will it copy the albums from Aperture intact?
This will work if your Aperture library's masters are stored by reference. However, it will only copy the masters, not an album structure. It won't copy your adjustments either. Just the masters.
[3] How much additional disk space (if any) will this
use up?
iPhoto will build JPEGs for each master image, so you will use some disk space.
[4] What is the signifcance of setting up previews in
Aperture (which I have done)?
Previews will allow you to browse your Aperture library in iPhoto. You can decide what images are made available to iPhoto. These are the versions, not the masters, so adjustments made in Aperture will be seen by iPhoto (as opposed to importing the masters).
[5] In iPhoto I see that there is File>Show Aperture
Library... where I can see thumbnails of my Aperture
pictures. What else is this used for? (i.e. can I
import pictures using this feature?)
You can drag images from that window into iPhoto, which will import the JPEG previews so you can use them in slideshows, etc.
[6] If, subsequent to import, I add to the Aperture
libary, will that automatically synchronize with the
iPhoto library, or do I have to iPhoto-import the
entire Aperture library every time new photos are
added to the Aperture library?
There isn't any automatic synchronization, but I think the following is a good approach:
1) When importing your masters into Aperture, don't have Aperture copy them from the CF card into the library. Instead give it a folder to copy them to. In addition, specify a sub folder that is "Project Name". By doing that, your import will be separate from other imports.
2) Make sure iPhoto is set to reference images not copy them into the library.
3) Then, when you want to synchronize with iPhoto, just drag the directories containing the projects that you want synchronized directly to iPhoto.

Integration questions, Notes/Domino/Symphony, Intentia Movex, Oracle Formula

All,
A potential Portal customer wants to integrate several systems
into Portal, to show content and enter data. The systems in
question are Notes/Domino/Symphony, Intentia Movex, Oracle
Formula (and some others).
So far, I know about the Notes portlet in the PDK. I also see
that it is possible to access Domino via Java API's or HTTP, and
IBM's "Lotus Enterprise Integrator" and "Lotus Connector for
Oracle" could be used on the IBM side. On the Oracle side, I
know about 9iAS interconnect, which could be used as the basis
for the integration projects in question.
Any hints? Reusable solutions for the listed systems?
Thanks,
Erik Hagen

Data Integrator Questions

Hello,
I was hoping for some guidence on how i can access sap data without using a BW system. The Data Integrator and RapidMarts seemed to be the main option. Just wondered if this was a suitable appraoch for my scenario.
Im the UK, our clients sap infrastructure is based in Germany. We do all our development on that system and it holds all our custom tables which i need to report from.
I initially installed the SAP Integration Tools for Crystal. I can build a report and dircetly see Tables and Function Modules, but the speed is really bad and prone to crashing.
My new plan is to install Data Integrator on our Network. Then use that to pull all the tables and data we need into a RapidMart on our network. Then i can use our BO XI 3.1 edge installation to host all the reports / dashboards built off the mart.
Is this a reasonable approach, am i missing anything or is this all theoretically possible??
Any advice is great appreciated.
Carston.

One at the time....
A RapidMart is nothing else than a jump-start. Imagine this: I have been asked to build a Data Warehouse for Cost Center Accounting. So I have asked:
"What kind of reports?" "Costs per CostCenter, CostElement, Period".
"Where does the data come from?" "This and that SAP table"
"How can I implement the delta logic" "Using this approach...."
"Are you fine with this Data Model to support your reports?"
"Are you okay with the Naming Conventions I invented?"
At the end I had a very good working Data Warehouse project for my customer. Then I got another Customer engagement where I again had to build a Cost Center Accounting Data Warehouse. Same questions, very similar answers. But instead of developing the data model, the ETL flow,.... all from scratch, I would have reused the previous code.
In other words, a Rapid Mart is us running through a very professional Data Warehouse project with a couple of customers simultaniously and then we provide the code to you. So you are trading investment costs against Consulting costs and time and uncertainty. You might not like the Data Model, feel free to modify it. You need more, its just a first version of your Data Warehouse. You can't use 90% of wha we did - don't by the RapidMart but take your time to implement the Data Warehouse yourself.

Tuxedo calling EJB question

Folks,
I have read some documentation about WTC and got in doubt.
In order to have the EJB access from Tuxedo service, I have to make it as an EJB 2.0 putting the RemoteHome and Remote as some Weblogic Tuxedo classes.
That is fine.
My question: does the method name have to be "service" always?
I saw that in the example and could not find any other example. Also, testing, it has not executed with any other name.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12840_01/wls/docs103/pdf/wtc_atmi.pdf&chrome=true
Could you someone give me any light? :-)
Thanks in advance.

Hi Richardinho,
Are you access Tuxedo Service through EJB? or trying to call an EJB from Tuxedo Service?
If you are accessing Tuxedo Service using an EJB, it should work with any name (EJB name and method can have any name you want).

Ahsan

WLI Trading Partner Integration questions

Hello all,
I am currently working on an introductory article on WLI Trading Partner Integration. In an effort to make it relevant I want to ask anyone who is currently using/considering WLI for Trading Partner Integration if they have any questions on this topic.
The article will be technical and aimed at developers, so idealy I am looking for questions that probe subjects like the initial setup of trading partners, terms and definitions etc.
If anyone is interested helping to answer some of these questions I would like to hear from you too.
Cheers

A bit more info. I created a new local trading partner and whe I try to add a new certificate for test use only I get the following message:
"Error while importing certificate new_test due to ASN.1: Lengths longer than 32 bits are not supported"
What would cause that? Is it a keystore configuration issue? A search on google and the weblogic console has found nothing.
Thanks

MeetingPlace Express Integration questions

Hi,
On MeetingPlace express, we can configure different ways for call-control integration.
In CallManager integration without gatekeeper mode, what's useful of the field of E.164 address under meetingplace H323 configuration mnue? By default it is "000". In this case, we can dial the more than one numbers of those configured on "Usage Configuration" or "Dial Configuration" if we correctly configured the route-pattern on CallManager;
But if integrated to Gatekeeper, we can only define one address which is the E.164 address under "H.323 configuration", and MeetingPlace express is registered to Gatekeeper as an endpoint; In this case, looks like those numbers defined on "Dial Configuration" or "Usage Configuration" does not help us. In this case, if the requirement is integrating gatekeeper, and have more than one DIDs can be used for meetingPlace express, how can we do?
Thanks,
JJ

CallManager SRND mentioned that we can add commands manually on gatekeeper for other MeetingPlace express access numbers, which answered my questions.

OIM 11g-OIA11g Integration question

Hi All,
As per the OIM-OIA Integration documentation, we need either OIM 9.1.0.2 BP14 or OIM11g BP3 to integrate with OIA 11gR1 BP3. But in our case, We have upgraded oim 9.1.0.2 BP 13 to oim 11.1.1.5.0. Now, I have two questions
1. Do we need to apply BP3 on top of upgraded OIm 11.1.1.5 or not required to integrate OIA11g?
2. Is those versions compatable to integrate OIm 11.1.1.5.0 and OIA 11.1.1.3.6?
Please suggest me.
Thanks.

It would be compatible. See the statment below:
To use this integration method you must have at least Oracle Identity Manager version 11gR1 BP3 or version 9.1.0.2 BP14a, and at least Oracle Identity Analytics 11gR1 BP3Oracle has mentioned about minimun requirement which is already met your case.

WebDynpro and Google integration question

Hi all,
I saw some tutorials and discussion on the topic of integration of WebDynpro with Google Maps. But my question is: Has any of you tried to integrate Google docs (for example a spreadsheet) into WebDynpro for Java? If yes, can you please give me some references and tips to do this.
Thank you and best regards,
Stefy

Hello,
So to answer your question in short, AXL is the reason IM&P has the ability to retrieve, insert, and etc into the CUCM database. IM&P does store a copy of the CUCM database on itself but with the AXL integration it actually has access to the CUCM database.
Hope this helps

Tuxedo domain sizing question

Background:
This is a Peoplesoft app (PT 8.5, Tux 10gR3, Weblogic 11g)
We are moving from 4 app server virtual machines which each hosted a tuxedo domain (4 vcpu each, actually getting slices from 8 physical cpu each) to one physical server with 12 cores (2 6 core procs). We only need this horsepower for 7 30 minute events per year (course registration). Otherwise a single domain is fine.
We ran a test last event that showed a physical machine significantly outperformed the virtual when given similar resources, So we have decided to employ a large physical server.
We intended to configure 3 Tuxedo Domains, mostl;y as it helps us compare to where we came from (Webserver VM will still host one domain) so we are effectively throwing 4 cpu at each domain. This comes from an understanding that we shouldn't have too many appsrv processes in one domain. We currently run a a pre-spun 25 appsrv procs each domain, and we get ok performance. From the looks of our physical server test, our performance will improve.
During the peak of the registration event, we have around 500 sessions, we limited to 225 active http sessions on the webserver, which acts as the valve to the event. Note: all previous events were on PT8.48, OAS 10g.
So , on to my question.
Is there a way to make a single larger domain, with say 50 or more appsrv processes (mostly to avoid the config maint) or does anyone have any recommendations here?
Any and all input appreciated.

Hi,
Take these comments with a large grain of salt as they are generalizations and not necessarily applicable to PeopleSoft. I'd really suggest asking this question in their forums as there may be PeopleSoft specific configuration constraints that I'm about to violate.
In any case a Tuxedo domain can range from a single machine with a single 1 core processor, to many machines each with many cores. Once you move beyond a single machine, regardless of the number of cores, you are in a clustered environment, or what Tuxedo refers to an MP domain.

ORACLE TUXEDO compatibility/coexistance question

Our existing PeopleSoft environment in
UNIX AIX 6.1
PS HRMS Tools 8.5 Application 9.1
PS Finance Tools 8.51 Application 9.1
We are preparing to upgrade only HRMS,
PS HRMS Tools 8.5 Application 9.1to PS
HCM Tools 8.54 Application 9.2
Question –
1. Will new ORACLE TUXEDO 12cR1 (12.1.1.0) work with PS Finance Tools 8.51
2. Can Oracle Tuxedo, Version (10.3.0.0, 64-bit, Patch Level 081- for PS Fin) coexist with ORACLE TUXEDO 12cR1 (12.1.1.0,64 bits)?

Hi,
For the PeopleSoft and Tuxedo 12cR1 question you will need to check with the PeopleSoft team as I don't know their version dependencies.
When you ask can Tuxedo 10 and 12 coexist, the answer is yes, although I'm not exactly what you mean by co-exist. They can be in the same MP domain, or in separate domains connected via the domain gateway. If they are in the same domain, then the MASTER machine needs to be the one running the later version of Tuxedo.

Triversity Integration Question

Hello,
The company I work for has a certified implementation of the BAS interface. One of our customers has inquired whether or not our address cleansing works with Triversity. Can you please tell me if the Triversity integration utilizes the BAS interface?
Thank you,
John

Hi John,
The problem is that we are not familiar with Triversity product. Thus we cannot answer your specific question without further info.
In general, if Triversity product creates address records using SAP released RFMs/BAPIs, it will employ the CAM system and hence any BAS BADIs that might be active in the system will be invoked. I hope this helps.
Regards,
Mustafa.
