Custom EBS 12.2.3 to APEX 4.2.5 Integration Part 3: EBS Function and Menu Setup

The following steps were done while logged into EBS with the System Administrator responsibility.

note: The System Administrator menus are used as references.  The same techniques can be used to create menu entries under other responsibilities as well.

Set APEX Function path

System Administrator -> Profile -> System
In the “Find System Profile Values” -> Profile field enter FND: APEX URL and press the Find button


Change the Site value to your appropriate path and save.
For example: http://yourserver.yourdomain.com:8080/ords

Create Form Function

Application -> Function
Description Tab:
  • Function Name
  • User Function Name
  • Description

Properties Tab - Type: SSWA jsp function

Web HTML Tab - HTML Call: LaunchApex.jsp?targetAppType=APEX&p=900:1
(using application id 900 and page 1, make sure the application ID matches what you are using for your APEX app. )
Notice we are not sending anything else in the call.  Therefore, no other information will be sent in the calling URL!


Adding Menu Prompt

Application -> Menu
Create a new entry(see bottom entry in image below):
  • Prompt - whatever you wish the user to see
  • Submenu - depends on your setup
  • Function - the function we created above
  • Description - optional

Notes:

  • You can set up multiple Form Functions. We use one for each application. For example, HR and Sales each have different Form Functions and menu entries.  
  • On the APEX side we have completely separate applications for each group.  Therefore we can completely separate responsibilities and groups that are affected with changes in any applications.
