46.2 Configuration Issues and Workarounds

This section describes configuration issues and their workarounds. It includes the following topics:

46.2.1 E-Business Suite and PeopleSoft Adapters: Further Configuration or Solution Template Required for Imaging Solution

After completing installation and configuration of the Imaging Solution, one of the following steps is required for implementation:

  • Apply a solution template. To obtain a solution template, contact your systems integrator, Oracle Consulting, or Oracle Support.

  • Further configuration of the AXF tables and either E-Business Suite or PeopleSoft AXF tables.

    • For the E-Business Suite adapter, see "Imaging Solution Tables" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide for Oracle E-Business Suite Adapter for Oracle Enterprise Content Management.

    • For the PeopleSoft adapter, see "Imaging Solution Tables" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide for Oracle PeopleSoft Adapter for Oracle Enterprise Content Management.

46.2.2 PeopleSoft Adapter: Encrypted Gateway Password May Be Required

In "Configuring Integration Broker to Communicate with AXF" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide for Oracle PeopleSoft Adapter for Oracle Enterprise Content Management, if Success is not displayed after pinging the node, you may need to encrypt the secureFileKeystorePasswd value under Gateway Properties, as described in the following steps.

  1. In PeopleSoft Server, open PeopleTools, then Integration Broker, then Configuration, then Gateways.

  2. Search for and open the LOCAL gateway, then click the Gateway Setup Properties link.

  3. Sign on to access the integrationGateway.properties file.

  4. Click the Advanced Properties Page link.

  5. Use the Password Encryption Utility on the Gateway Properties page to encrypt the secureFileKeystorePasswd value.

  6. In the Gateway Properties screen, paste the encrypted password after secureFileKeystorePasswd= and click OK.

46.2.3 E-Business Suite Adapter: Workaround to Enable PaperClip Functionality For Imaging Solution Only Configuration

Installing and configuring the Managed Attachments solution automatically disables the E-Business Suite attachments paperclip icon and functionality. To reenable the paperclip functionality for an Imaging Solution only configuration, follow these steps to disable the Managed Attachments solution:

  1. Open the AXF_CONFIGS table (E-Business Suite) table.

  2. In the FORMFUNCTION field, rename the AXF_MANAGED_ATTACHMENTS entry.

    For example, rename the entry as follows:

    AXF_MANAGED_ATTACHMENTS-DISABLED

    For more information, see "AXF_CONFIGS Table (E-Business Suite)" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide for Oracle E-Business Suite Adapter for Oracle Enterprise Content Management.

Note:

To reenable the Managed Attachments solution, change the FORMFUNCTION field back to the following entry:

AXF_MANAGED_ATTACHMENTS

46.2.4 PeopleSoft Adapter: Gateway Required For Communications Between PeopleSoft and AXF Server

When configuring a PeopleSoft imaging solution, a PeopleSoft local integration gateway must be set up for PeopleSoft external communications. See the PeopleSoft Enterprise documentation for information about setting up gateways. You can then proceed with configuring the PeopleSoft service operation to communicate with a 10g or 11g AXF Server, as described in "Setting Up the Service Operation Routings" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide for Oracle PeopleSoft Adapter for Oracle Enterprise Content Management.

46.2.5 Managed Attachments Solution Not Clustered in Clustered Environment

When configuring the adapter in a clustered environment, the Managed Attachments solution will not be clustered. Instead, it will point to the server that is configured in the AXF configuration.
