Configure the E-Business Suite Asserter in Oracle E-Business Suite

Register the E-Business Suite Asserter application server with Oracle E-Business Suite.

Registering the E-Business Suite Asserter with Oracle E-Business Suite

To establish communication with Oracle E-Business Suite, the E-Business Suite Asserter uses the application server ID in the database connection file. The database connection file is generated while registering the E-Business Suite Asserter application server with Oracle E-Business Suite.

  1. Sign in to the Oracle E-Business Suite application server machine. Don't use the root user. Use the user that installed and ran the WebLogic Server.
  2. Run the commands echo $JAVA_HOME and echo $WL_HOME, and then make note of the value that is set for each:
    • JAVA_HOME: /usr/java/jdk1.7.0_201
    • WL_HOME: /u01/oracle/wlserver

    If the values of the commands $JAVA_HOME and $WL_HOME aren't set, request that the WebLogic administrator set them. The $WL_HOME value is only needed if you use a version of Oracle E-Business Suite greater than 12.2.

    The values for the $JAVA_HOME and $WL_HOME might differ from your environment. Update the fields with the correct values for your environment.

  3. Run the following command to create a working folder: 
    cd /opt
mkdir ebssdk
cd ebssdk
  4. Extract the fndext.jar file, which is in the WEB-INF/lib folder inside the ebs.war file that you have downloaded from the IAM Console.
  5. Copy the fndext.jar file to the working folder you created in the previous step and also to the E-Business Suite Asserter WebLogic $DOMAIN_HOME/lib folder.
    The name of the fndext.jar file might vary depending on the current version.
  6. Locate your Oracle E-Business Suite environment file (in this example, /u01/install/VISION/EBSapps.env) and run the following command: 
    source /u01/install/VISION/EBSapps.env

    The path to the .env file might vary depending on your environment.

  7. Locate the .dbc file that is associated with your Oracle E-Business Suite instance in the following folder: $FND_SECURE/EBSDB.dbc.
    If your database instance name is EBSDB, the file has a name like EBSDB.dbc. Make a note of the full path of the .dbc file (including the file name itself): /u01/install/VISION/fs1/inst/apps/EBSDB_ebs/appl/fnd/12.0.0/secure/EBSDB.dbc.
  8. Run the following command to register the E-Business Suite Asserter application server with Oracle E-Business Suite: 
    cd /opt/ebssdk
java oracle.apps.fnd.security.AdminDesktop apps/apps CREATE NODE_NAME=ebsasserter.example.com DBC=/u01/install/VISION/fs1/inst/apps/EBSDB_ebs/appl/fnd/12.0.0/secure/EBSDB.dbc
    Note

    The value of CREATE NODE_NAME is the asserter hostname. Use the value that is correct for your setup.
  9. Run the following command: 
    cat EBSDB_ebsasserter.example.com.dbc

    The resulting file name might be in all uppercase letters. Make a note of the APPL_SERVER_ID value.

  10. Copy the EBSDB_ebsasserter.example.com.dbc file to the EBS Asserter's WebLogic Server machine under the /opt/ebssdk folder. Create the folder if the folder doesn't exist.
