OTM EBS Customer Integration

I have got a couple of queries on the otmfaq.com site at: http://www.otmfaq.com/forums/f24/customer-information-616-new/
Thus I’ve provided the queries here:
select 'CUS-'||rac.customer_id customer_XID, rac.customer_name, 'ZAF' customer_country, 'CUS-'||rac.customer_id||'-'||arv.party_location_id customer_location_XID, rac.customer_name||','||substr(arv.city,1,10)||','||substr(arv.province,1,4)||','||nvl((SELECT b.iso_territory_code FROM FND_TERRITORIES_VL b WHERE UPPER(b.territory_code) = UPPER(arv.country)),'TBA') location_name, arv.address1, arv.address2,arv.address3, arv.address4, arv.city, arv.province, arv.postal_code, nvl((SELECT b.iso_territory_code FROM FND_TERRITORIES_VL b WHERE UPPER(b.territory_code) = UPPER(arv.country)),'TBA') country from ra_customers rac left join ar_addresses_v arv on rac.customer_id = arv.customer_id;

--Customers
select 'CUS-'||rac.customer_id customer_XID, rac.customer_name, 'ZAF' customer_country from ra_customers rac;
--Customer locations
select 'CUS-'||rac.customer_id||'-'||arv.party_location_id customer_location_XID, rac.customer_name||','||substr(arv.city,1,10)||','||substr(arv.province,1,4)||','||nvl((SELECT b.iso_territory_code FROM FND_TERRITORIES_VL b WHERE UPPER(b.territory_code) = UPPER(arv.country)),'TBA') location_name, arv.address1, arv.address2,arv.address3, arv.address4, arv.city, arv.province, arv.postal_code, nvl((SELECT b.iso_territory_code FROM FND_TERRITORIES_VL b WHERE UPPER(b.territory_code) = UPPER(arv.country)),'TBA') country, 'CUS-'||rac.customer_id customer_parent from ra_customers rac left join ar_addresses_v arv on rac.customer_id = arv.customer_id;
For some of this you will need to set the environment first:
begin dbms_application_info.set_client_info(<your_org_id>); end;

Oracle BPEL - Invoking a Partner Web Service through a Proxy Server

When trying to call a web service through a proxy server (or trying to avoid using the proxy server for certain hosts) the BPEL Process Manager Administrator’s Guide have steps to edit a file, but I found doing this alone don’t work. The guide basically states to modify the following file: $ORACLE_HOME/bpel/bin/obsetenv.sh

And then modify the line set OB_JAVA_PROPERTIES= as follows:

set OB_JAVA_PROPERTIES="-Dhttp.proxySet=true" "-Dhttp.proxyHost=myproxy004.company.com" "-Dhttp.proxyPort=8090" "-Dhttp.nonProxyHosts=internal123.company.com"

After rebooting the BPEL server, it still didn’t work. What I had to do was also modify the following file: ORACLE_HOME/opmn/conf/opmn.xml

Look for the piece of XML that looks like this:

<process-type id="oc4j_soadev" module-id="OC4J" status="enabled">
<module-data>
<category id="start-parameters">        
<data id="java-options" value="
-server
-XX:MaxPermSize=128M –ms512M
-mx1024M -XX:AppendRatio=3
-Djava.security.policy=$ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/oc4j_soadev/config/java2.policy
-Djava.awt.headless=true
-Dhttp.webdir.enable=false-Doraesb.home=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.1.3/soad/integration/esb -Dhttp.proxySet=false -Doc4j.userThreads=true -Doracle.mdb.fastUndeploy=60
-Dorabpel.home=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.1.3/soad/bpel
-Xbootclasspath^/p:/u01/app/oracle/product
/10.1.3/soad/bpel/lib/orabpel-boot.jar -Dhttp.proxySet=false"/>             
</category>

Then modify the Dhttp.proxySet=false and change it to Dhttp.proxySet=true, add -Dhttp.proxyHost for your proxy server,  Dhttp.proxyPort for your proxy server port and Dhttp.nonProxyHosts for hosts that should not go through the proxy. The end result should look something like this:

<process-type id="oc4j_soadev" module-id="OC4J" status="enabled">
<module-data>
<category id="start-parameters"> <data id="java-options" value="-server –mx1024M
-ms512M -XX:MaxPermSize=128M
-XX:AppendRatio=3-Djava.security.policy=$ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/oc4j_soadev
/config/java2.policy
-Djava.awt.headless=true
-Dhttp.webdir.enable=false-Doraesb.home=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.1.3/soad
/integration/esb
-Dhttp.proxySet=false -Doc4j.userThreads=true
-Doracle.mdb.fastUndeploy=60
-Doc4j.formauth.redirect=true
-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true
-Dorabpel.home=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.1.3/
soad/bpel-Xbootclasspath^/p:/u01/app/oracle/product
/10.1.3/soad/bpel/lib/orabpel-boot.jar
-DHTTPClient.disableKeepAlives=true
-Dhttp.proxySet=true
-Dhttp.proxyHost=10.10.10.1
-Dhttp.proxyPort=8080 -Dhttp.nonProxyHosts=10.10.10.2"/>    
</category>

Now you can call webservices through a proxy server. ;-)

Oracle SQL Developer 2.1 User Snippets

If you are like me and installed the new Oracle SQL developer 2.1 Early Adopter edition on your mac you might have noticed that your user snippets are gone. Also that the directory where you could normally back them up from is no longer working. Well, its only stored in a new location and you can find all your SQL developer settings like your UserSnippets.xml, UserReports.xml and SqlHistory.xml in there.

SQL Developer 1.x location:
/Users/youruser/Library/Application Support/SQLDeveloper/

SQL Developer 2.1 EA location:
/Users/youruser/.sqldeveloper/

Also note that the new directory is a hidden folder so you might need to use the terminal (or any other way you access hidden files) to access it.
