Oracle Application Express (Oracle Apex) is a rapid web application development tool for the Oracle database. Using only a web browser and limited programming experience, you can develop and deploy professional applications. We wanted to extend the E-Business Suite functionality with Apex features. Apex functions need to be available from the EBS user menu. Users have to be able to move seamlessly from EBS to Apex, without logging in twice. The context of the EBS user needs to specify which data the user is allowed to see in Apex. Our goal was to develop a calendar in Apex which shows a team’s absences for the logged in supervisor. In EBS the “supervisor -> employee” relation has a hierarchical structure, which has to be available in the calendar.
