Introduction<\/strong><\/p>\n

The blog post explains how to integrate Oracle\u00ae Application Development Framework (ADF) with E-Business Suite (EBS) Supply Planning Work Area (SWPA).<\/p>\n

ADF<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oracle describes ADF in Oracle Fusion Middleware Understanding Oracle Application Development Framework<\/a> in the following way:<\/p>\n

\u201cOracle Application Development Framework (Oracle ADF) is an end-to-end application framework that builds on Java EE standards and open-source technologies to simplify and accelerate implementing enterprise applications. Oracle ADF is suitable for enterprise developers who want to create applications that search, display, create, modify, and validate data using web, mobile, and desktop interfaces.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can use the whole Oracle ADF framework to create an application, or you can use parts of the framework in combination with the other technologies. Throughout this guide, applications that contain any ADF technologies are generally referred to as ADF applications. Web applications that incorporate ADF technologies throughout the business service, model, controller, and view layers are called Fusion web applications.\u201d<\/p>\n

SWPA<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oracle describes SPWA in FAQ For 12.2.5 – SPWA – Supply Planning Work Area<\/a> in the following way:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Supply Planning Work Area (SPWA) is a component of the Oracle Advanced Supply Chain Planning (ASCP).<\/p>\n

\u201c12.2.5 VCP introduces a new form for users that is an alternative to the planner workbench. The standard Planner Workbench is still available and will not be removed from the applications.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis form uses the same ADF (Application Development Framework) tech stack that powers Rapid Planning and Fusion applications\u2014part of the Fusion Middle Ware
\n(FMW) tech stack. This does not use the standard Oracle Forms tech stack that has been the standard for the last 15+ years.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt depends on your WebLogic tech stack and ADF rendering of the forms.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Integrate ADF with SWPA<\/strong><\/p>\n

In EBS version 12.2.5 and later,  Oracle introduced SPWA, which replaced the Advanced Supply Chain Planning (ASCP) Planner Workbench in earlier EBS releases.<\/p>\n

Use the following steps to integrate ADF with EBS v12.2:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Download and install a new or separate WebLogic Server (WLS), version 10.3.6.<\/li>\n
  2. Download and install ADF Runtime version 11.1.1.9.0.<\/li>\n
  3. Configure the WLS domain.<\/li>\n
  4. Create a new managed server in WebLogic.<\/li>\n
  5. Create a Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) data source.<\/li>\n
  6. Set up an Oracle Metadata Services (MDS) repository.<\/li>\n
  7. Start the administrative and managed servers.<\/li>\n
  8. Deploy the Planning UI application.<\/li>\n
  9. Set the Oracle Advanced Supply Chain Planning (MSC) profile in EBS.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    1. Download and install a new or separate WebLogic Server, version 10.3.6<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Download the software from the following URL:<\/a><\/p>\n

    \"ADF<\/p>\n

    To install the WLS, use the following steps:<\/p>\n

    1. Stage this in the file system.<\/p>\n

    2. Make sure that you have the Java Development Kit (JDK) 1.6 or later.<\/p>\n

    3. Set the JDK Home by using the following command:<\/p>\n

    \n        export JDK_HOME=\/u01\/utilities\/jdk160_29)<\/em><\/p>\n

    \n4. Install it by running one of the following commands: <\/p>\n

    If the installation file type is jar<\/strong>, run the following command:<\/p>\n

    \n        $(JAVA_HOME)\/bin\/java \u2013jar wls1036_generic.jar<\/em><\/p>\n

      If the installation file type is bin<\/strong>, run the following command:<\/p>\n

            .\/wls1036_linux32.bin<\/em>
    \n <\/p>\n

    Provide the following inputs during the installation process as needed and
    \ncomplete the installation:<\/p>\n
