OAM/OID integration with r12.1.3

[Sri]

Dear erman,

Could you plz let us know why do we have to create dbc file in below case?

f WebLogic Server (which hosts EBS-AG) is on different machine than EBS Middle Tier then you must register node (hosting EBS-AG) in EBS database, create DBC file and use this DBC file during EBS AccessGate deployment

Thanks,

it is simple.
As the EBS AG will reside on a different machine , it must have the necesseray database descriptions and info to be able to connect the EBS database.
That node should also be registered to the EBS, so that EBS can let the connections from there to be happen properly.
These are the reasons why you register that node and create a dbc file there.
dbc file is used for the FND_USER-related authentication. The application using the dbc file, authenticate itself through the GUEST and APPLSYSPUB accounts..In other words, FND_USER account is authenticated and if successful, the application finds itself connected to the EBS database with APPS user at the end.

This is required for not only the EBS Access Gate.
Any other EBS integrated tool, which run on a different machine will need it.
For instance, the HR ORG CHART application.. The same is required there..

Thank you so much for the info.Do we need to share any username and password to the team or they can just use dbc file and can connect to our ebs.

Yes. You must use an EBS user for configuring EBS Acess Gate with EBS.
It is needed while deploying the Access Gate.
It is the ASADMIN.

  -DasadminUser=<Name of the ASADMIN user> 
  -DasadminPassword=<Password of the ASADMIN user> 
  -DdbcFile=<Absolute path to the DBC File> 

ASADMIN is an Oracle E-Business Suite user with role UMX|APPS Schema Connect.
