Setting up the Site Administration UI-oracle R12

By Jag - September 24, 2012
Your initial setup of the Oracle iStore Site Administration UI involves setting required profile options, creating administrative users, and testing the Site Administration UI.
Required tasks include:
1. Set Initial Profile Options
2. Set up Administrators
3. Launch the Site Administration UI
4. Set the Concurrent Manager
Set Initial Profile Options
All Oracle iStore profile options begin with the prefix IBE.
Set Oracle Applications CRM Profile Options
The following Oracle CRM Technology Foundation profile options must be set:
FND: Branding Size
JTF_PROFILE_DEFAULT_APPLICATION
JTF_PROFILE_DEFAULT_BLANK_ROWS
JTF_PROFILE_DEFAULT_CSS
JTF_PROFILE_DEFAULT_CURRENCY
JTF_PROFILE_DEFAULT_NUM_ROWS
JTF_PROFILE_DEFAULT_RESPONSIBILITY (application level only)
Set iStore Site Administration UI Profile Options
Before the Site Administration UI will display, you must set the following Oracle iStore (IBE) profile options at the iStore application level:
IBE: Category Set This profile is used in:
Category-based product search in Site Administration UI
Determining the default item display style if no item-level display is mapped in Customer UI
Defining product relationship rules between category to product, category to section, or category to category
IBE: Item Validation Organization Specifies the Inventory Organization where your sites’ products reside.
Mandatory profile option. Recommended value: Master Inventory Organization,unless you are implementing multiple organizations.

Set Multi-Org Profile Options

For multiple-organization architecture, set and/or verify the setting of the profile option, MO: Operating Unit.
Set up Administrators
You must create a site administrator (referred to as store manager in previous releases) who will set up and test the sites in the Site Administration UI. Use the following procedure to set up a user account for an Oracle iStore site
administrator.
1. Log in to Oracle Forms with the System Administrator responsibility and select Security > User > Define. The Users window opens.
2. In the User Name field, enter the user name that the site manager will use to log in to the Oracle iStore Site Administration UI. An example is IBE_ADMIN.
3. In the Password field, enter the site administrator’s password.
4. In the Responsibilities block, choose iStore Administrator (key = IBE_ ADMINSTRATOR) from the Responsibility LOV. Save the user record.
5. Set the following profile options at the user level for this site administrator:
JTF_PROFILE_DEFAULT_APPLICATION - 671
JTF_PROFILE_DEFAULT_RESPONSIBILITY - 21819
In vision instance seeded user COMMS_ISTORE has all the required profiles for iStore Administrator.

Launch the Site Administration UI
All site creation tasks are performed in the Site Administration UI. You can enter the Site Administration UI by logging in to: http://<host>:<port>/OA_ HTML/jtflogin.jsp with a user name that the system administrator has set up as an Oracle iStore site manager user account.


Set up Concurrent Program Administrator
Concurrent programs populate database tables with fresh information from Oracle Applications. You must either add the concurrent program responsibility to the iStore administrator created above, or create a new user with the concurrent programs responsibility. Both methods work --- which avenue you take depends upon your business needs.
Set the following profile options at responsibility level to the iStore Concurrent Programs Responsibility and any other Oracle iStore concurrent program manager responsibility being used. Generally, set the same profile option values for the iStore Concurrent Programs Responsibility as for the IBE_CUSTOMER responsibility. In a multiple operating unit environment, the concurrent program manager responsibility’s profile option values should match the customer responsibility’s profile option values for each operating unit.
ASO: Default Order Type -- Set to Mixed.
ASO: Validate Salesrep -- Set to No.

Setting up the Customer Application
The Oracle iStore Customer Application refers to the web pages accessed by customers/users of your Internet sites from the initial landing page through checkout and order tracking.
User registration is enabled by default in your sites.
The page that displays when customers initially approach your site is controlled by specific combinations of profile options. You do not need to change these profile options for users to access your sites.
Set up Guest User Access
Setting up a guest user is required for the Customer Application to display. It also allows customers to browse your sites without registering (although you can disable guest user access at the site level). Anonymous users who visit your sites are then automatically logged in with the guest user name. If a guest user makes any changes, such as modifying the preferred language or currency, or adding items to the shopping cart, the changes are saved in the cookie so that anonymous users cannot see each other's changes. A user must register before he can place an order or view order details in Order Tracker.
Guest user is a seeded Oracle Applications (FND) user. The username and password can be found from the profile option, Guest User Password.
Use the following steps to set up the guest user account.
Steps
1. Log in to Oracle Forms with the System Administrator responsibility and select Security, User, Define. In the Users window that opens, search for the Guest user.
2. After finding the guest user, in the Responsibilities block, choose the seeded Oracle iStore customer responsibility, IBE_CUSTOMER, from the Responsibility LOV.
3. Save your changes.
4. Set the following profile options at the user level for the guest user name:
• JTF_PROFILE_DEFAULT_APPLICATION -- Specifies the default application ID. Set to 671 for Oracle iStore.
• JTF_PROFILE_DEFAULT_CURRENCY -- Specifies the default currency. Set to U.S. or other applicable currency.
• JTF_PROFILE_DEFAULT_RESPONSIBILITY -- Specifies the default responsibility for the guest user's responsibility. Set to 22372 for the
IBE_CUSTOMER responsibility.
5. Verify the guest user account, as described in the next section: "Verify the Guest
User Account".
Verify the Guest User Account
Use the following procedure to verify that you have set up the guest user account correctly.
Steps
1. Log out of any Oracle applications.
2. Restart the Apache server.
3. Open the Oracle iStore Customer UI at the URL:
http://<host>:<port>/OA_HTML/ibeCZzdMinisites.jsp.
The page that opens should have a list of the specialty sites that are accessible to guest users.
