Fusion Applications can be configured to launch context-sensitive help through the Help menu. When a user clicks User Productivity Kit under the Help menu, the Player launches directly with an applicable list of topics based upon the application context.
There are two steps to enabling Fusion Applications for context-sensitive content development and playback:
Enabling Context in Fusion Applications
The following must be added to web.xml for context to be enabled.
<context-param>
<description>
</description>
<param-name>
oracle.apps.upk.targetapp.context.ENABLE_UPK_CONTEXT_PROVIDER
</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
</context-param>
Note: Context must be enabled in Fusion Applications prior to any content authoring sessions. This ensures the Developer/Recorder will automatically capture context during recording. A server reboot is NOT required when adding this through Enterprise Manager. However, the deployed application needs to be restarted through the WLS console. These steps must be repeated after each Fusion Apps patch is applied. Customers are advised to follow already established guidelines for uptaking Fusion Apps patches.
Help Integration in Fusion Applications
The configuration for Help Integration is done within the Functional Setup Manager (FSM). By registering the enterprise application through FSM, you can configure the User Productivity Kit link to launch content in a context-sensitive manner. The launch URL from Fusion Applications is pre-defined to be as follows:
<protocol>://<host>:<port>/upkcontent
It is important that your content location adheres to the above mentioned pattern, for example:
http://content.mycompany.com:8080/upkcontent
In the Fusion Applications provisioning data for the context root value for the “upk” module is set to “upkcontent” – this value is automatically appended to the content location host/port information that you define in the steps below. While you may physically place your content anywhere on the server, you must map the “upkcontent” virtual directory at the root of your server so that the Player can be launched by navigating to:
<protocol>://<host>:<port>/upkcontent/index.html
For example:
http://content.mycompany.com:8080/upkcontent/index.html
The configuration of Fusion applications for HINT requires the use of a tool known as Functional Setup Manager (FSM). Proper security access is required. With proper security, the Register Enterprise Applications menu appears under the Topology Registration Section of FSM.
You must have access to the WLS Administrator security role as well as one of the other roles:
Application Implementation Administrator
Application Implementation Consultant
Application Administrator
Application Developer
