C Managed Attachments Solution Reference

This appendix describes the AXF, Oracle E-Business Suite, Oracle PeopleSoft, and Content Server configuration tables used for the Managed Attachments solution. It describes the GrantAccess command and the Managed Attachments URL, and provides example implementations.

This appendix covers the following topics:

Many of the Managed Attachments tables are automatically populated during the business application plug-in configuration (see Chapter 2 or Chapter 3) and Managed Attachments configuration (see Chapter 7). This appendix describes how to configure additional pages for Managed Attachments or to make changes to the tables if needed.

C.1 AXF Tables For the Managed Attachments Solution

Application Extension Framework (AXF) tables define the solution, its system parameters, and the GrantAccess command used.

Note:

If modifying AXF table values in a running system, either execute Clear DB Cache from the Driver page or restart the AXF application within the Application Server for the changes to take effect.

The diagram that follows displays the AXF configuration tables used for the Managed Attachments solution and their relationships.

C.4 Oracle PeopleSoft Tables For the Managed Attachments Solution

Oracle PeopleSoft tables define how the Managed Attachments page is activated through a button, link, or menu on selected Oracle PeopleSoft pages.

Configuring AXF for Oracle PeopleSoft requires configuring these AXF-related tables in Oracle PeopleSoft:

The following diagram shows how the tables used by the Oracle PeopleSoft system in AXF solutions are related.

Shows PeopleSoft AXF Attachments table relationships.
Description of the illustration pplsft_3.gif

Note:

All AXF table fields require non-null values. You can include a space for fields that do not apply.

C.4.1 PS_AXF_CONFIG Table

Use the PS_AXF_CONFIG table to enable the AXF solution on various Oracle PeopleSoft components. This table provides a fine level of granularity when selecting which pages and components to AXF-enable.

Events are automatically invoked when an action is performed on an Oracle PeopleSoft page. The AXF_PS_Integration project component catches PRE- and POST- save events and makes them available for customization. You can decide which events to use and how and when to use them.

C.4.1.1 Column Description

Table C-33 Column Description for PS_AXF_CONFIG Table

Column Description

AXF_CONFIG_ID

Specifies the primary key of the table.

AXF_COMPONENT_NAME

Specifies the name of the Oracle PeopleSoft component being enabled.

AXF_CONNECT_NAME

Specifies the Oracle PeopleSoft Integration Broker Connection name (service operation to call), as defined in the Oracle PeopleSoft Integration Broker administration interface.

The default service operation is AXF_EXECUTE. You can set up and use other connections.

AXF_VERSION

Specifies the AXF version of the connection. This value should be set to 11g.


C.4.1.2 Example Implementation

This example defines that the WM_WO (work order) component is AXF-enabled.

C.4.2 PS_AXF_COMMANDS Table

Use the PS_AXF_COMMANDS table to describe the actions to take based on user activity. This table works with the PS_AXF_CONFIG Table.

C.4.2.1 Column Description

Table C-35 Column Description for PS_AXF_COMMANDS Table

Column Description

AXF_CMDS_ID

Specifies the primary key of the table, used to identify the unique command.

AXF_CONFIG_ID

Specifies the foreign key to the PS_AXF_CONFIG Table, which associates this unique command with a particular page and component.

AXF_EVENT_NAME

Specifies the event being executed. The AXF_EVENT_NAME corresponds to the subpage incorporated into an existing Oracle PeopleSoft page, such as a button, link, or menu added to an Oracle PeopleSoft page to invoke AXF functionality such as the Image Viewer or Task List. Available options include:

  • AXF_BUTTON_1, …,  AXF_BUTTON_5

  • AXF_LINK_1, ..., AXF_LINK5

  • AXF_COMBO_1, ..., AXF_COMBO_5

  • AXF_PRE_SAVE_SBP

  • AXF_POST_SAVE_SBP

AXF_SELECT_LABEL

Represents the label that for display if using a drop-down component (for example, AXF_COMBO_1).

AXF_DISPLAY_NAME

Defines the name of the button or link to display on the Oracle PeopleSoft page.

AXF_SOL_NAMESPC

Identifies the solution namespace for the command to execute.

AXF_CMD_NAMESPC

Identifies the command namespace for the command to execute.

AXF_PSFT_ROLE

Identifies the Oracle PeopleSoft roles with access to the command. Include roles in a comma-delimited list with each role enclosed in single quotes (for example, 'Role1','Role2','Role3')

AXF_SORT_ORDER

Specifies the order of items displayed in a selection field. Sort order applies to selection fields only.

AXF_REQ_CONV

Specifies if a conversation is required for this command before execution. For example, execution of the UpdateTask command requires a conversation be running in order for the user to select a current task.


C.4.2.2 Example Implementation

This example shows the UCM_Managed_Attachments command added as a link to an Oracle PeopleSoft page.

You must specify an Oracle PeopleSoft Role in the AXF_PSFT_ROLE field to give permissions to use the commands. If a person does not have proper permissions to use the commands, the commands do not display. If the commands display but do not function, this indicates that the commands are not configured properly.

C.5 Content Server Tables For the Managed Attachments Solution

Content Server tables define how Content Server documents are mapped to Oracle E-Business Suite or Oracle PeopleSoft business objects and how users are temporarily granted access to documents associated with a particular business object.

The adapter utilizes the following additional database tables:

These tables are automatically populated at run-time. AFGrants is initially populated when the user accesses Content Server from the business application and the AF_GRANT_ACCESS service is run. AFObjects is populated when the user checks in a document to Content Server from the Managed Attachments page.

C.5.1 AFGrants Table

This table stores the grants given to users, allowing them to temporarily access documents associated with a particular business object.

C.5.1.1 Column Description

Table C-41 Column Description for AFGrants Table

Columns Description

dUserName

Stores the name of the user.

dAFApplication

Stores the business application's instance name (for example, PSFT_Instance1).

dAFBusinessObject

Stores the business application's object

dAFBusinessObjectType

Stores the business application's object type

dPrivilege

Stores the privilege to grant to the user: R (read), W (write), D (delete), or A (admin).

This parameter is optional. If not specified, the access level specified for the AppAdapterGrantPrivilege configuration variable is used, as described in Section 7.5.

dExpirationDate

Stores the date and time at which to expire this grant.

dMaxExpiration

Stores the time at which the maximum access period (in hours) expires.


C.5.2 AFObjects Table

This table maps Content Server documents to AF business objects, in an N-to-N relationship, which enables multiple content items to be associated with a single business object and multiple business objects to contain the same content item.

Each time a user attaches or detaches a document, a record is added or updated in this table.

C.5.2.1 Column Description

Table C-42 Column Description for AFObjects Table

Column Description

dAFID

Stores the unique ID of each attachment.

dAFApplication

Stores the business application's instance name (for example, PSFT_Instance or EBS_Instance).

dAFBusinessObjectType

Stores the business application's object type (for example, CallRecords or HRMS).

dAFBusinessObject

Stores the business object's ID in the business application instance.

dDocName

Stores a content item's ID associated with the business object.

DID

Stores the ID of the document associated with the business entity. In revision-specific attachments mode, this ID is used in returning a specific version of the document. For more information, see Section 7.6.11.


C.5.3 AFRelationshipAttributes Table

This table stores relationship attributes associated with an attachment. For more information, see Section 7.6.10. Depending on the configuration of relationship attributes, a document can have zero or more relationship attributes.

C.5.3.1 Column Description
