Upgrading user-defined functions

If a study contains a user-defined function that performs a task such as reading from or writing to a file, accessing the database or the registry, making web service calls, running an external application, sending an email, or using the event log directly, the assembly for the user-defined function must be signed with a strong named signature that is valid and trusted in order for the function to work in the Oracle InForm application.

To ensure that the user-defined functions and assemblies in your study projects and library projects are secure, Oracle recommends that you sign user-defined function assemblies using a strong named, valid and trusted signature.

Note:

For Oracle InForm studies hosted by Oracle, all user-defined function assemblies that require signing must be signed by Oracle Services prior to deployment.

In addition, user-defined functions that use the Log4Net application must use the Oracle Central Designer Log4Net wrapper or must be recompiled to use Log4Net version 2.0.8. For more information about the Log4Net wrapper, see the Rules Reference Guide.
