Oracle Enterprise Command Center Framework Release 12.2 installation and integration with Oracle EBS 12.2.8

https://www.enginatics.com/blog/oracle-enterprise-command-center-framework-release-12-2-installation-and-integration-with-oracle-ebs-12-2-8/

Introduction

This post describes Oracle Enterprise Command Center Framework (ECC) installation and configuration steps. It is not meant to replace MOS Doc ID 2495053.1, which is very good and detailed. We want to share our experience including faced errors and solutions.
And good news for those who like to see ECC in action. You can try it yourself in our demo environment. Just log in and choose Payables manager or Receivables manager responsibility and navigate to the command center menu entry.

Operating System configuration

Supported OS versions:

Oracle Linux 6 or Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 (64-bit)
Oracle Linux 7 or Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 (64-bit)

We prepared standalone Oracle Linux 7 virtual machine for the ECC installation.

Required OS resources

MOS Doc ID 2495053.1 provides table describing OS resources requirements. We started with minimal resources assignment as it can be easily changed for a virtual machine.

Number of users	Number of records	Number of Cores	Required Memory
50	2 million	2	3 GB

Firewall settings

If you protect your servers using firewall, access to certain ports on the ECC server needs to be provided. If you are using OEL 7, firewall-cmd and switched to drop zone by default then following commands will allow connections from the EBS server to the admin and managed Weblogic servers ports:

firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=drop --add-rich-rule="rule family="ipv4" \
source address="192.168.1.2/32" \
port protocol="tcp" port="7775" accept"
 
firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=drop --add-rich-rule="rule family="ipv4" \
source address="192.168.1.2/32" \
port protocol="tcp" port="7776" accept"
 
firewall-cmd --reload

Please adjust zone name and source address according to your environment.
If you decide to create ECC schema in EBS database, you will need to allow access from ECC server to EBS database port. Example of iptables command to achieve that which needs to be executed on the EBS server:

-A INPUT -s 192.168.1.3/32 -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 1521 -j ACCEPT

Network configuration

Configure hostname

[root@ecc ~]# hostname
ecc.localdomain

Ensure that it’s resolved into an IP address either by DNS or by adding an alias into /etc/hosts file.
Also make sure that ECC server can reach EBS server via hostname. Example of /etc/hosts file:

127.0.0.1   localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
127.0.0.1 ecc.localdomain ecc
192.168.1.2 demo.enginatics.com demo

Create OS users and groups

Our ECC installation is owned by oracle user and oinstall group:

groupadd oinstall
groupadd dba
useradd -g oinstall -G dba oracle

Download and install quick install package

Create directory for ECC installation root. Example: /u01. It will be referred as $ECC_BASE

Download patch 28779983 from MOS
Unzip patch into a stage directory

unzip p28779983_R12_GENERIC.zip

Copy the .bsx file to the $ECC_BASE directory. Add executable permissions to it

chmod +x *.bsx

From $ECC_BASE directory, execute installer:

./*.bsx

Installer creates two directories:

insta_client: The SQL*Plus client directory
Oracle: Oracle Enterprise Command Center Framework quick install scripts and software

EBS 12.2.8 required patches

EBS patches need to be applied before configuring ECC. Below list of patches is specific for our EBS 12.2.8 instance as we have already applied some of the patches listed as required. First two patches: ATG consolidated patch and adapter patch are mandatory. Other patches depend on the products with Enterprise Command Centers that you want to use and installed languages.
Patches must be applied in the order below and shouldn’t be merged. I merged command center patches though after applying first two patches separately.

Please note that patch list is unique for every EBS instance and below patches shouldn’t be applied in your system blindly!

Configuring the JNDI to Connect to Oracle E-Business Suite:

Run following command, providing FQDN of ecc host and full path to dbc file:

java oracle.apps.fnd.security.AdminDesktop apps/[apps_password] CREATE NODE_NAME=[fully_qualified_domain_name_of_target_ECC_host_system] DBC=[full_local_DBC_file_path]

Example:

java oracle.apps.fnd.security.AdminDesktop apps/$pass CREATE NODE_NAME=ecc.enginatics.com DBC=/u01/install/APPS/fs2/inst/apps/EBSDB_apps/appl/fnd/12.0.0/secure/EBSDB.dbc

Copy generated dbc file to the ECC server under quickInstall directory as follows:

[oracle@demo secure]$ scp EBSDB_ECC.ENGINATICS.COM.dbc oracle@ecc.enginatics.com:/u01/ecc_demo/Oracle/quickInstall/connection.dbc

Login to EBS as user with administrative privileges
Сhoose User Management Responsibility > Users function
Add UMX|APPS_SCHEMA_CONNECT role to the EBS_ECC_USER user in EccConfig.properties as per Doc ID 1556742.1

Otherwise you may get error:

The returned message is: ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied

Another possible cause of this error: make sure that HOST in connection.dbc is resolvable from ECC server.

Loading product data to ECC

Run concurrent programs for each product to perform data load into the ECC. Programs should also be scheduled to perform periodic incremental loads to update the data.

Example for products that we implemented:

Oracle Payables
Payables Command Center Data Load

To run this request you need to switch to Payables responsibility as it’s not available under System Administrator responsibility. I used ‘Payables manager’ responsibility.

Oracle Receivables
Receivables Command Center Data Load

To run this request you need to switch to Receivables responsibility as it’s not available under System Administrator responsibility. I used ‘Receivables manager’ responsibility.

Issue:

Requests failed with errors:

Workaround:

EBS host is allowed to access 7776 port, so requests shouldn’t fail. Requests completed after removing following connection filter rule in Weblogic Admin console. Didn’t find other workaround so far.

* * 7776 deny

To update data, requests can be rerun in INCREMENTAL_LOAD mode.

Providing users access to ECC

Product-specific roles are used to provide access to ECC.
For list of the roles please refer to Doc ID 2495053.1.
Below is the example of role assignment performed in our system.

Providing access manually

In Oracle E-Business Suite, log in to the User Management responsibility, and navigate to the Roles and Role Inheritance page.

Search for desired responsibility

Click the “View In Hierarchy” icon for your responsibility

Click the Add Node icon for your responsibility

Search for the role you want to add and click ‘Select’

Next step is to update the associated grant for the product-specific Enterprise Command Center roles to reference the specific responsibility as the security context.

Click on expand to see the added role and click on update icon for the new role:

If this is the first responsibility to which you are adding to the role, click the Update icon for the grant you want to update.

Enter the name of the responsibility to which ECC role is added and click Apply

After this step Receivables Command Center should appear under Receivables Manager responsibility.

Note: If you don’t see function appear after the responsibility, you may need to clear EBS cache using Functional Administrator responsibility.

Automating access provision using script

To automate roles and grants configuration following script can be used. It should be ran from EBS run fs:

source EBSapps.env run
$FND_TOP/bin/UMX_ENDECA_RBACAuto.sh

It will prompt for csv file location, which should be prepared before running the script. If csv file is called UMX_ENDECA_RBAC.csv and located under same directory as UMX_ENDECA_RBACAuto.sh, it will be used automatically. Example of the file we used in our system to assign payables and receivables ecc roles to Payables manager, Receivables manager and ECC Developer:

Clear cache

Command centers didn’t appear under the responsibilities after running above script. It was fixed by clearing EBS cache using Functional Administrator responsibility.

Conclusion

At this stage ECC installation and integration is complete. Reminding you again that you can try ECC in our demo instance. Just log in as DEVELOPER and choose desired product responsibility and find associated command center menu entry.
