Release 11iCurrent Certifications
Desupport NoticesOr, “Why You Should Plan for OracleAS 10g Now”
• Discoverer 4i October 2006
• Login Server 3.0.9• Portal 3.0.9 July 2007• Oracle Internet Directory 3.0.1
For more details:http://blogs.oracle.com/schan/desupport
However…
Sun JDK 1.3 is the required prerequisite for 3.0.9. Sun desupported 1.3 in Dec 2006, so Sun’s desupport date overrides Oracle’s for these products.

OracleAS 10g Integration Benefits
1. Enable Single Sign-On for 11i2. Manage users in Oracle Internet Directory3. Access 11i via custom Portals4. Integrate 11i with third-party PKI, SSO & LDAP
directories, and legacy applications5. Analyse 11i with Discoverer workbooks6. Analyse 11i with Fusion Intelligence7. Accelerate 11i performance with WebCache
Enable Single Sign-On for 11i
• E-Business Suite is a Single Sign-On partner application • Log on to Oracle Single Sign-On to get access to all registered partner
applications, including 11i• Log off any one partner application to log off all of them

Manage Users in Oracle Internet Directory
• Synchronise user credentials bidirectionally between Oracle Internet Directory and Release 11i (FND_USER)
• Set master “source of truth” as OID, Release 11i, or both• Manage user provisioning via powerful OID Directory Integration &
Provisioning (DIP) templates• Link an OID userid with one or more 11i userids “on-the-fly”

Why Upgrade Discoverer 4i to 10g?
It’s better• Automatic SQL trimming, per user
memory caps, faster, new features
It’s safe• Installation upgrades a copy of 4i
End-User Layer to 10g
It’s low-impact• TIP: Run Discoverer 4i and 10g on
different physical servers to avoid Visibroker conflicts
• Compare 4i and 10g workbooks side-by-side for User Acceptance Tests
It’s free• Your existing Business Intelligence
product license includes 10g
It’s necessary• Discoverer 4i is desupported on

• Oracle Internet Directory and FND_USER must be kept synchronised• Supported synchronisation directions:
• From OID to FND_USER (Asynchronous via the Directory Integration & Provisioning Platform)
• From FND_USER to OID (Synchronous via dbms_ldap calls)• Bidirectionally
• Synchronisation events are raised via the Workflow-based Business Event System whenever users are added or modified

• Optional: can be done by end-user on first logon (“Link on the fly”)
• Useful for situations where existing accounts in Oracle Internet Directory 10g or a third-party LDAP directory differ from existing accounts in Release 11i.
Link to Multiple 11i Accounts
• Note: It’s not possible to link multiple OID accounts to the same 11i account

• Single Sign-On is a prerequisite for Portal
• Oracle Applications Framework Web Provider is registered in Portal 10g
• 11i Portlets communicate with 11i 9iAS 1.0.2.2.2 server:
• Oracle Applications Framework Web Provider
• JPDK 3.0.9
• 11i portlets are added to custom Portal pages• 11i portlet users must have a valid 11i responsibility, validated via ICX_SESSION
Discoverer Integration
• Discoverer 10g End-User Layer resides in 11i database• APPS_MODE option enforces Applications security for all Discoverer
users• Discoverer 10g Server is often deployed standalone for performance

User DiscovererEnd-User Layer forE-Business Suite
Full Discoverer 10g Support for Single Sign-On
• Earlier versions of Discoverer 10g did not support Single Sign-On & Oracle Internet Directory integration for E-Business Suite users
• Full SSO/OID support is now available
• No more dual-maintenance of E-Business Suite user passwords in both FND_USER and OID for standalone Discoverer connections
• See Metalink Note 313418.1 for details
Accelerate 11i Performance with WebCache
• Frequently used items (e.g. images, static text) are cached, compressed, and served by WebCache
• Secured data (I.e. requiring authorization) is not cached• Partial page refresh supported for Portal• Can act as a reverse-proxy server• Can act as a load-balancer
