Scamander Solutions BV | Bernhardstraat 1 | 3433 EL NIEUWEGEIN Tel. 030 602 900 | www.scamander.com Setup Oracle eBS 2 Oracle BI SSO This document covers all the steps needed to integrate Oracle eBS (R12) and Oracle BI (11g) with each other. SSO might be a little bit confusing. In this case it’s meant that you can log into Oracle BI via Oracle eBS without having to log in again and while maintaining context. Integrating Oracle eBS and Oracle BI It takes a few steps to complete the integration of Oracle eBS and Oracle BI. • Connection Oracle eBS & Oracle BI o Oracle eBS § Profile Option o Oracle BI § authenticationschemas.xml § instanceconfig.xml § RPD (Connection Pool, Initialization Blocks) • Navigation Oracle eBS à Oracle BI o Function o Menu o Responsibility Please refer to My Oracle Support for more details; “Integrating Oracle Business Intelligence Applications (OIBEE 11g) With Oracle E-‐Business Suite (Doc Id -‐ 1343143.1)” Assumptions • Oracle eBS is installed • Oracle BI is installed • Oracle eBS and Oracle BI are compatible with each other (http vs. https) • All necessary Oracle eBS patches are installed • R11 check • R12 included • The Web Browser should be able to accept cookies • The ICX session cookie name is case-sensitive • Oracle eBS and Oracle BI should be installed into the same domain (machine1.domain.ext = machine2.domain.ext)

Scamander Solutions BV | Bernhardstraat 1 | 3433 EL NIEUWEGEIN Tel. 030 602 900 | www.scamander.com Connection Oracle eBS & Oracle BI To complete the connection between Oracle eBS and Oracle BI you have to perform some configuration / setup on both Oracle eBS as well as Oracle BI. Oracle eBS To make navigation between Oracle eBS to Oracle BI possible, you need to define the url to Oracle BI. This url is stored in a Profile Option in Oracle eBS; ‘FND: Oracle Business Intelligence Suite EE base URL’ 1. Log into Oracle eBS, 2. Navigate via the responsibility; ‘System Administrator’ to the function; ‘System Profile Values’ (Profile -‐ System) 3. Search the profile; ‘FND: Oracle Business Intelligence Suite EE base URL’
Scamander Solutions BV | Bernhardstraat 1 | 3433 EL NIEUWEGEIN Tel. 030 602 900 | www.scamander.com 4. Update the url; http://obiee-‐server.domain.com:port Oracle BI – Configuration There are multiple ways to authenticate in Oracle BI. The user / responsibility combination from Oracle eBS is one of them. Oracle BI must be prepared to accept login requests from Oracle eBS. Therefore you will have to edit two configuration files in Oracle BI; • instanceconfig.xml • authenticationschemas.xml instanceconfig.xml ($ORACLE_INSTANCE/config/OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent/coreapp lication_obips1) Add ‘EBS-‐ICX‘ as one of the enabled schemas Note: Don’t get mislead by the following sentence; ‘<!–This Configuration setting is managed by Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control– >’. You must adjust these settings directly in the instanceconfig.xml itself.

Update the nameinSource to the name of the ‘EBS-‐ICX‘-‐cookie (VIS). 2. Update the nameinSource to the name of the ‘EBS-‐ICX‘-‐cookie (VIS).
Scamander Solutions BV | Bernhardstraat 1 | 3433 EL NIEUWEGEIN Tel. 030 602 900 | www.scamander.com Oracle BI – Repository Oracle BI needs to validate the Authentication request, coming from Oracle eBS. 1. Create a Connection Pool to the Oracle eBS Database. o Use a separate Connection Pool for use in Initialization Blocks o Use Variables for the DataSource and the User Name 2. Add a procedure call to read the contents of the Session Cookie (call /* valueof(NQ_SESSION.ACF) */ APP_SESSION.validate_icx_session('valueof(NQ_SESSION.ICX_SESSION_C OOKIE)')
Scamander Solutions BV | Bernhardstraat 1 | 3433 EL NIEUWEGEIN Tel. 030 602 900 | www.scamander.com 3. Create a Initialization Block – EBS Single Sign-‐on Integration This Initialization Block checks whether the Session Cookie is successfully read and has a value select case when 'VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.ICX_SESSION_COOKIE)' is null then 'Not Integrated' else 'Integrated' end from dual The following Session Variables is filled; EBS_SSO_INTEGRATION_MODE
Scamander Solutions BV | Bernhardstraat 1 | 3433 EL NIEUWEGEIN Tel. 030 602 900 | www.scamander.com 4. Create a Initialization Block – EBS Security Context If the outcome of the previous Initialization Block; EBS Single Sign-‐on Integration’ is ‘Integrated‘, which means; successfully read and a value, Oracle BI should be able to read the context from Oracle eBS. Via the FND_GLOBAL-‐ package…… select fnd_global.resp_id , fnd_global.resp_appl_id , fnd_global.security_group_id , fnd_global.resp_name , fnd_global.user_id , fnd_global.employee_id , fnd_global.user_name from DUAL …… the following Session Variables are filled; • EBS_RESP_ID • EBS_RESP_APPL_ID • EBS_SEC_GROUP_ID • EBS_RESP_NAME • EBS_USER_ID • EBS_EMPLOYEE_ID • USER Note: Make sure the variables are in the above order, with the exact names. This is especially important when you want to create Action Links from Oracle BI to Oracle eBS. Next to that fnd_global.user_name must map to the System Session Variable; ‘USER’
