Create EBS system connections

An EBS connector consists of a EBS system, process server, queue, and, optionally, a platform agent for serving files.

Prerequisites

• JDBC connection to the Oracle database.

Create an Oracle Applications System Object

1. Navigate to "Environment > Oracle Applications".
2. Choose New Oracle Applications System from the context-menu.
3. Fill in the fields Name (referred to as <ora_name>), select the Database, and Default Time Zone.
4. Choose Save & Close.
5. Navigate to "Environment > Process Servers".
6. Choose Start from the context-menu of the process servers named <ora_name>_ProcessServer.

Install a Platform Agent on the Oracle Applications Server

1. Download the appropriate installer for your platform from "Configuration > Software".
2. Navigate to "Environment > Process Servers".
3. Choose New Process server from the context-menu, fill the Port field, select the appropriate platform; choose Next.
4. Fill a name into the Name field, select or create a partition for the process server, and select the OS Family; choose Next.
5. Select a Native installer, choose Next.
6. Transfer the platform agent binary to the Oracle Applications Application server and run it with administrative privileges.
7. If you choose not to register the platform agent with the central Redwood Server, you add RemoteHostName, RemotePort, and SharedSecret to the process server created by the Oracle Applications object. (see Create an Oracle Applications System Object section below).

note

You can use the default settings, on UNIX, you should ensure the user the jobs run under is a valid user. See the Creating Platform Process Servers topic for more information on installing platform agents.

Start the Process Server

1. Navigate to "Environment > Process Servers".
2. Choose Start from the context-menu of the process server <ora_name>_ProcessServer.
3. Refresh the window until the process server is starting, if after two minutes the process server has not started, inspect the Operator Messages Monitor.

Submit a Test process

1. Navigate to "Definitions > Processes" and choose Submit from the context-menu of System_OraApps_ConcurrentProgramImport.
2. Select the newly created Oracle Applications system, select an Application short name and Concurrent Program name; note that the values are retrieved from the remote Oracle Applications system; choose Next, and Next once more (you leave the defaults as the process should start immediately).
3. On the Control tab, select the <ora_name>_Queue queue served by the Oracle Applications process server and monitor the process until it reaches the status Completed, if the process reaches status Error, check "Monitoring > Operator Messages".
