My customer is very interested in building APEX apps integrated with their EBS deployment.
Their questions:
In Oracle documentation regarding version 12.2.14, it is highlighted that support for integrating Oracle APEX customizations with EBS has been enhanced mostly for:
- Registering an APEX page using a new EBS function type
- Navigating seamlessly from EBS to APEX using EBS-configured authentication SSO (OAM or IDCS)
Question: Since the above is highlighted for version 12.2.14, does it mean that APEX in version 12.2.13 does not support IDCS and cannot handle the functionality of registering an APEX page?
To integrate APEX with eBS, there is a need to have a separate instance of the app server for ORDS.
Question: Since we are using WLS for eBS and due to 12.2.13, a new instance of WLS had to be created to handle ECC – would it be possible to install ORDS on the same instance along with ECC?
One of the ideas to use APEX in eBS is to create potential solutions leveraging AI functionality. The idea is to create an APEX app accessible from eBS which will call OCI Gen AI service.
Question: Since we currently have DB 19.0.0.0 for our eBS purpose, would it be possible to patch this DB to allow the use of DBMS_CLOUD and DBMS_CLOUD_AI to call OCI AI service directly? I heard about an alternative to have access to Autonomous DB (ADB) on OCI, but would it be possible to avoid that and keep everything on our eBS DB?
