When to use Apps adapter and DB adapter?

Hi All,
For invoking a PL/SQL API(either a custom or System API) in Oracle Applications from BPEL Process which is better to use?When to use Apps adapter and DB adapter?
Thanks,
ChitraDevi

As Sen correctly states for the DB adapter you have to set the context manually using the fun_global.apps_initilize or Fnd_Client_Info.SET_ORG_CONTEXT. This is usually done in a wrapper procedure.
I wouldn't say I'm an expert in this field as I have only used the APPS adapter for 11.5.10. I believe things have changed a bit for R12, but from my experience with APPS, things change very slow so although R12 is 10g App Server I'm sure the principles are the same.
Sen is also correct saying that base tables are not accessible via the APPS adapter. Basically the apps adapter is there to expose services, base tables are not services.
My recommendation would be different based on the experience of the developer(s). The APPS adapter simplifies the development but may not have the flexibility. The apps adapters sweet spot is those services that are difficult to integrate with, e.g. business services, xml gateway. If these are used heavily I would use the APPS adapter.
What I personally do, even if I'm not using APPS, if I'm connecting to the database I will implement a function, stored procedure, or AQ. It is a little more hassle during deployment, but it treats it more like a service and you are not impacted if the tables change. This is not an endorsement for you to go down this path because it does have a requirement to have PL/SQL knowledge, and it breaks the notion of service abstraction from the DB.

I'm having trouble making calls with my Iphone 4. When I try to, the person on the other side can't hear me, and all I can hear are noises. But when I use apps like Viber or Facetime, I can make calls just fine! What may be the problem?

Since i uploaded ios 5 my ipad crashes when i use apps and safari.

Hi,
since i uploaded my ipad to ios 5 it crashes when i use apps and safari.
i tried to restat it and also i reset it to the factory settings but nothing has changed.
is there any software problems ??

seems if I disable all security it works. Not a very good situation, tells me it's a port that is open that shouldn't be. I imagine it is fine on a mac, but on a pc it is an issue since most corporations use pc's.

My iphone 4s keeps freezing up. I have restored it as a new phone. Done numerous resets. But it still keeps freezing up when im using apps and trying to text. Its really annoying.

Diff between Seeburger Adapter and File Adapter

Hi All,
My company needs to interact with some banks and the banks are particular that they want SFTP, which is not supported by File Adapter, so we have decided to go with Seeburger adapter.
Now what are the differences between File adapter and seeburger adapter?
I believe that Seeburger adapter does not support File Content Conversion, Archiving etc.
Could you all pls put some light on the diff between file adapter and seeburger adapter when it comes to dealing with files?
Xier

Hi
You are aware with working of File Adapter.
The most direct way of using the Seeburger adaptors is to configure the BIC as a module. There is a software component from seeburger called bicmapper which will allow you to
1. Define or import the inbound message metadefinition in various formats ( edifact, xml,...)
2. Using a mapping create an xml variant as the output metadefinition or edifact in the other direction.
3. Create a one to one mapping between input en output.
4. Export the metadata in xsd or sda format for import in XI
5. Generate an SDA which can be deployed in XI and used as a module.

Difference between OA Adapter and DB Adapter

Hi All,
i am very new to SOA, Let me know the difference between OA Adapter and DB Adapter.
thanks
Hari

The EBS (OA) Adapter is mainly a sort of wrapper around DB and AQ adapter supporting the different interfaces of EBS including Business Events(AQ).
The adapter introspects the Integration Repository. And it sets the responsiblity/application context for you when connecting. The ebs-user and responsibility are set in the wsdl. Using the database adapter you should take care of that yourself.
Honestly, if you're basically using custom-plsql api's or the pl/sql api's of ebs (eg. TCA) then you're perfectly fine with the DB-adapter. The only thing is that you should set the responsiblity in the pl/sql yourself (for example in the intialization block of the pl/sql package).

Difference between XI adapter and HTTP adapter

Hi,
I am not very clear on the exact difference between XI adapter and HTTP adapter.
I want to know, when should we use XI adapter and when to use HTTP adapter.
Regards,
Santosh

Hi,
We use HTTP Adapter in case of the Application is trying to post the HTTP Request message to XI and able to receive the HTTP Message from XI also.
While using the HTTP as Sender , HTTP Sits on ABAP Stack and can able to communicate with the Integration Server Directly, No need of any Adapter here, it is adapterless communication
In Case of Client Proxies
Source application can directly interact with the XI by executing the report in SAP R/3 & will be able to send the XML data to IS,
So no need of the XI Adapter in this case to post xml to XI.
In Case of Server Proxies
Now XI has to post the xml data to the Target Application, here some thing shld be there to establish the medium with the Target System. So we use XI adapter here.
In the receiver case, we need XI Adaper to communicate XI integration Server with the Local Integration Engine( Which we made in SAP R/3's Business system as local IE) to post the data
Basically XI adapter will be used in normal scenarios also to communicate Adapter Engine with Integration Server internally while delivering the msg.
Check this Msg Flow how the XI Adapter is used in Normal Scenarios
Understanding message flow in XI

JCBC Adapter and File adapter not processing messages

Hi
I noticed that messages are being delivered to Adapter engine and the same are visible in Runtime Workbench with status "to be delivered". But, JDBC Adapter and File Adapter not processing these messages.
Any idea where I can find the problem?
I was able to re-deliver successfully via the JDBC Adapter using the MessagingSystem GUI using XISUPER user.
Regards
Chandu

Hi,
1.Status: TO_BE_DELIVERED
Which means that the message was successfully delivered from Integration Server point of view and it states that the messages is initially handed over to the Messaging System.
TO_BE_DELIVERED occurs while the message is put into the Messaging System receive queue.

Regarding the xif adapter and ascii adapter

Dear experts
I have a requirement where i have to connect the crm system to non sap systems using the xif adapter and ascii adapter could you tell me what are the configurations steps to be followed for this.
Thanks & Regards
Rao

1) Don't use the ASCII adapter
2) Use the LSMW with the XIF adapter instead
As the previous posters said, it depends on what you want to convert, which will determine how to use this. A quick example of the XIF adapter with the LSMW is located in my blog here:
/people/stephen.johannes/blog/2005/08/18/external-data-loads-for-crm-40-using-xif-adapter
Plus do a search on this forum for more information on using the XIF adapter.
Take care,
Stephen

When we use calculation script and when we use business rule

when we use calculation script and when we use business rule can anyone please tell me

Re the OP's question, here is an excellent introduction to Calculation Manager and business rules. It was the first hit when I googled "calculation manager hyperion".
http://ranzal.wordpress.com/2010/06/11/oracle-hyperion-calc-manager-%E2%80%93-part-1/
You can also go to odtug.com -- the Tech Resources section has a series of presentations on Calculation Manager, from beginner to intermediate.
The added benefit with business rules are that you can use variables and runtime prompts. You can also link planning with business rules and pass information from a web form into a business rules.^^^Only with Planning. There are no runtime prompts with Essbase in 11.1.2.2 but I hear it is coming back in 11.1.2.3
We can use Business Rule for all applications and it is GUI.^^^Doesn't have to be GUI-based. You can (depending on version) flip back and forth between GUI and script. I have not tried writing (nor can I actually think why you would want to do this) a Calc Mgr rule for multiple apps. Maybe you are thinking of a script object that can be called multiple times?
To check whether a calc script is executed or not you have to use the Essbase application database log file (Plan1.LOG)^^^As business rules are, sooner or later, translated to BSO (and hey, ASO too and HFM and Fusion and HPCM and they can differ, a lot, so this is not always true) calc script language, you can always check in the application log to see what is run if Planning or BSO Essbase.
