How EnterpriseOne Launches EnterpriseOne ADF Applications

Prior to Release 9.2.1, you must create an EnterpriseOne proxy application to associate with each EnterpriseOne ADF application that you deploy. An administrator uses the proxy application to set up processing options, versions, and security for the EnterpriseOne ADF application. You configure security on the proxy application through the Security Workbench.

Oracle's standard is to name both EnterpriseOne proxy and EnterpriseOne ADF applications beginning with the letter E, for example E01012.

To launch an EnterpriseOne ADF application from EnterpriseOne, a Solution Explorer task of type "ADF Application" must first exist that specifies both an EnterpriseOne proxy application name and an ADF task flow ID. Optionally, the proxy application version can also be specified on the task; otherwise, ZJDE0001 is used as the default version. When the Solution Explorer task is launched, the proxy application name, version, jargon code, and ADF task flow ID from the task are sent to the EnterpriseOne ADF Container (JDEADFContainer). If the ADF task flow is found, the ADF application launches inside an available region of the JDEADFContainer web application.

With Release 9.2.1, you can attach your EnterpriseOne ADF application to an external form in Form Design Aid. The external form provides users with a direct link to the EnterpriseOne ADF application and allows it to be displayed within an EnterpriseOne web client. This means it can be a task, within a Composed EnterpriseOne Page, on a menu, linked to from an EnterpriseOne page, or accessed through FastPath.

External forms are intended to replace the use of the proxy application. All functionality associated with the proxy application, including processing options, static translated text for ADF labels, and security, are also included with the application containing the external form.
