Embed Oracle APEX Pages in EBS

This release expands and automates the previous integration of customizations and extensions developed in Oracle Application Express (Oracle APEX) with Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS). Oracle APEX is an enterprise low-code application platform that enables you to build scalable, secure enterprise apps. Oracle APEX provides tools to build apps in a single, extensible platform, which runs as a part of Oracle Database.

The new capabilities for Oracle APEX integration include:

  • Registering an APEX page as a function in EBS with the new APEX function type, including any parameters required by the APEX page. You can choose either embedded or external display mode.
  • Rendering an APEX page within the EBS user interface, allowing access to standard EBS UI features such as the menu, Home page, favorites, and so on.
  • Passing the EBS user session context using a new APEX authorization scheme. This authorization scheme includes function security authorization, context initialization, and native EBS session tracking.
  • Automated registration of APEX workspace schemas with EBS. The registration process prepares the APEX schema to work with EBS editioning and grants the necessary permissions to support the integration.

You can update existing APEX applications to use these new capabilities.

Steps to enable and configure
