Integration Oracle Apex with E-Business Suite
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.
Making a list of values context-sensitive using forms personalization.
In Oracle EBS there are lots of list of values. Most of the times you can change these values by editing the lookup values. In some cases you want to show a subset of the lookup-values based on another field in the same form. In this blog-entry there will be an example how to do this based on the fields user status and employment category for contingent workers in Oracle HR. The case is that we only want to show the values in the list of values for the employment category that are eligible with the chosen user status.
Fusion Apps delayed, what to do next….
About a year ago I raised the question how to prepare for Oracle Fusion Applications. Within Logica we had chosen to focus on creating awareness for the changes Fusion Apps would bring. In this so called Tour de Fusion programme we focused on several topics like SOA, BPEL and BPM. Topics which not only existed in theory, but already were supported with tools by Oracle. For instance the Oracle SOA suite or Oracle BPA suite. This allowed our consultants to work (‘to stand with their feet in the mud’) with these products in our skill centre environment. Examples are interfaces between PeopleSoft and eBusiness Suite based on BPEL. A rudimentary way of application integration.
At Openworld 2008 Oracle delayed the launch of Fusion Apps until end 2009 / beginning 2010. What is the impact on our competence development in general and the Tour de Fusion programme in particular?
Personalize the Master Suppliers Form
I haven’t had a chance to publish a new post lately but last week my client asked me to personalize the Master Supplier Form. So here’s a new post on Forms Personalization for the Supplier Form.
While looking into the best solution for my client, I came across a few posts with what seemded at a first glance a good solution, but somehow these didn’t work for me. So this triggered me to writing a post on this particular solution for my clients’ business requirment. Here are the details:
