They make up the classes you wish to map. Hibernate works best if these classes follow the. The Oracle E- Business Suite Architecture is a framework for multi- tiered, distributed computing that supports Oracle E- Business Suite products. In this model, various servers or services are distributed among three levels, or tiers. A server (or services) is a process or group of processes that runs on a single machine and provides a particular functionality. For example, Web services process HTTP requests, and Forms services process requests for activities related to Oracle Forms. The Concurrent Processing server supports data- intensive programs that run in the background. Tip. The term server, in the sense of a single process, is less appropriate in the Release 1. Where applicable, replacement terms such as services are used. A tier is a logical grouping of services, potentially spread across more than one physical machine. The three- tier architecture that comprises an Oracle E- Business Suite installation is made up of the database tier, which supports and manages the Oracle database; the application tier, which supports and manages the various Oracle E- Business Suite components, and is sometimes known as the middle tier; and the client (desktop) tier, which provides the user interface via an add- on component to a standard web browser. A machine may be referred to as a node, particularly in the context of a group of computers that work closely together in a cluster. For example, the database can reside on the same node as one or more application tier components. Note, however, that a node is also a software concept, referring to a logical grouping of servers. Centralizing the Oracle E- Business Suite software on the application tier eliminates the need to install and maintain application software on each client PC, and also enables Oracle E- Business Suite to scale well with an increasing load. Extending this concept further, one of the key benefits of using the Shared Application Tier File System model (originally Shared APPL. This is because the client and application tiers exchange a minimum amount of information, for example only field values that have changed. In a global operation with users at diverse locations, requiring less network traffic reduces telecommunications costs and improves response times. The Client Tier. The client interface is provided through HTML for the large number of HTML- based applications, and via a Java applet in a Web browser for the smaller number of Forms- based applications. A browser is used for all client access to Oracle E- Business Suite, whichever of these types of application is in use. Note: The client tier is sometimes referred to as the desktop tier. Client Tier and Application Tier Components. You log in via the Oracle E- Business Suite Home Page on a desktop client web browser. The Home Page provides a single point of access to HTML- based applications, Forms- based applications, and Business Intelligence applications. Once successfully logged in via the E- Business Suite Home Page, you are not prompted for your user name and password again, even if you navigate to other tools and products. Oracle E- Business Suite also retains preferences as you navigate through the system. For example, if you registered in the Home Page that German is your preferred language, this preference carries over whether you access Forms- based or HTML- based applications. Oracle E- Business Suite Home Page. Forms Client Applet. The Forms client applet is a general- purpose presentation applet that supports all Oracle E- Business Suite Forms- based products, including those with customizations and extensions. The Forms client applet is packaged as a collection of Java Archive (JAR) files. The Sun JRE Plug- in component allows use of the Oracle JVM on web clients, instead of the browser's own JVM. This component is implemented as a standard browser plug- in. In the traditional, Forms- based Oracle E- Business Suite environment, the JVM was run as part of the standard Oracle E- Business Suite sign- on process. Now, the JRE Plug- in is only invoked when a user chooses to access functions that require it, such as running a form. If the JRE Plug- in has not been installed, the browser prompts the user to download the required installation executable. After you download and install the plug- in, you will be able to run Forms- based applications, for example as shown in the following figure. Forms- based Oracle E- Business Suite interface. The Forms client applet and commonly used JAR files are downloaded from the Web server at the beginning of the client's first session. Less commonly used JAR files are downloaded as needed. New Patch Nomenclature For Oracle Products InstalledAll downloaded JAR files are cached locally on the client, ready for future sessions. This eliminates the network traffic that would be involved in downloading them whenever they were required. In Release 1. 2, the cache directory path is of the form: < HOMEDRIVE> \Documents and Settings\< Windows User Name> \Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\cache. For example: C: \Documents and Settings\jalee\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\cache. Selecting . The Java console is shown in the following figure. Java Console. All updates to JAR files are installed on the application tier and downloaded to the client automatically, via the caching mechanism outlined above.

Oracle E-Business Suite Architecture Introduction. This chapter describes the Oracle E-Business Suite architecture and the key features the architecture supports. The Application Tier. The application tier has a dual role: hosting the various servers and service groups that process the business logic, and managing communication between the desktop tier and the database tier. This tier is sometimes still referred to as the middle tier. Several service groups or servers comprise the basic Oracle E- Business Suite application tier: HTTP services. Java services. Forms services. Concurrent Processing server. As well as these, some less visible application tier services provide further infrastructure support. In Release 1. 2. 2, Web and Forms services are provided by Oracle Application Server and Oracle Fusion Middleware. They are no longer servers in the sense of being a single process, as was the case in previous releases. Tip. It is advisable to avoid using a mixture of different platforms on your application tier. This makes maintenance easier, since only one set of patches needs to be downloaded. 520 8th Avenue, Suite 313 New York, NY 10018. Search the history of over 510 billion pages on the Internet. Load Balancing. The application tier supports load balancing among many of its servers and services to help provide higher availability, fault tolerance, reliability, and optimal scalability. If you have more than one of any of the following types of server, load balancing can be employed: Web services. Forms services. Concurrent Processing server. Load balancing is discussed in more detail in a later chapter. Application Tier ORACLE. The use of these two ORACLE. If the page referenced by the URL needs advanced processing, the listener passes the request on to the servlet engine, which contacts the database server as needed. Note: Oracle Web. Logic Server integration is new in Release 1. HTML- Based Applications and the Oracle Application Framework. The Oracle HTML- based applications (originally known as Self- Service applications) add a browser- based, walk- up- and- use functionality to Oracle E- Business Suite. They include numerous products such as Self- Service Expenses, Self- Service Human Resources, Internet Procurement, Internet Receivables, Self- Service Time, Web Suppliers, i. Store, i. Payment, i. Support, and i. Marketing, and have the following characteristics: Do not use Oracle Forms for the interface. Use HTML documents, Java. Script, Java Server Pages, Java. Beans, and Servlets. Dynamically generate HTML pages by executing Java code. Use a metadata dictionary for flexible layout. Operate via a direct connection to the Web server The Oracle HTML- based applications can be either inquiry or transactional. Inquiry modules only read the Oracle E- Business Suite database. In contrast, transactional modules both read and update the database. The Oracle Application Framework is the development platform for HTML- based applications. It consists of a Java- based application tier framework and associated services, designed to facilitate the rapid deployment of HTML- based applications. Notable Oracle Application Framework components include: Business Components for Java (BC4. J), included in Oracle JDeveloper, is used to create Java business components for representing business logic. It also provides a mechanism for mapping relational tables to Java objects, and allows the separation of the application business logic from the user interface. Oracle Web. Logic Server supplies the Oracle Application Framework with underlying security and applications Java services. It provides the Oracle Application Framework with its connection to the database, and with application- specific functionality such as flexfields. The Framework- based applications logic is controlled by procedures that execute through the Java servlet engine, which is provided by the Apache JServ module. The servlet engine uses the metadata dictionary in constructing the Framework UI. HTML- Based Applications Architecture. Java Servlet Access with HTML- Based Applications. An HTML- based Applications module uses the following access path: The user clicks the hyperlink of a function from a browser. The browser makes a URL request to the Web listener. The Web listener contacts the Servlet engine (Oracle Web. Logic Server), where it runs a JSP. Release Notes for Cisco Identity Services Engine, Release 2. Table of Contents.

The Cisco ISE platform is a comprehensive, next- generation, contextually- based access control solution. It offers authenticated network access, profiling, posture, BYOD device onboarding (native supplicant and certificate provisioning), guest management, and security group access services along with monitoring, reporting, and troubleshooting capabilities on a single physical or virtual appliance. Cisco ISE is available on two physical appliances with different performance characterization, and also as software that can be run on a VMware server. You can add more appliances to a deployment for performance, scale, and resiliency. Cisco ISE has a scalable architecture that supports standalone and distributed deployments, but with centralized configuration and management. It also allows for configuration and management of distinct personas and services. This feature gives you the ability to create and apply services where they are needed in the network, but still operate the Cisco ISE deployment as a complete and coordinated system. New Features in Cisco ISE, Release 2. Cisco ISE, Release 2. Refer to Cisco Identity Services Engine Admin Guide, Release 2. TACACS+ Device Administration. Note Cisco ISE requires a Device Administration license to use the TACACS+ service. The Device Administration license is a perpetual license. If you are upgrading from an earlier release to Cisco ISE, Release 2. TACACS+ service, you must order the Device Administration license as a separate add- on license. You need one Device Administration license for the entire ISE deployment. Cisco ISE supports device administration using the TACACS+ security protocol to control and audit the configuration of network devices. The network devices are configured to query ISE for authentication and authorization of device administrator actions, and send accounting messages for ISE to log the actions. It facilitates granular control of who can access which network device and change the associated network settings. An ISE administrator can create policy sets that allow TACACS results, such as command sets and shell profiles, to be selected in authorization policy rules in a device administration access service. The ISE Monitoring node provides enhanced reports related to device administration. The Device Administration Work Center menu contains all the device administration pages, which acts as a single start point for ISE administrators. Third- Party Device Support. Cisco ISE supports some third- party network access devices (NADs) through the use of network device profiles. These profiles define the capabilities that Cisco ISE uses to enable flows such as Guest, BYOD, MAB, and Posture. Cisco ISE includes predefined profiles for network devices from several vendors. Cisco ISE 2. 0 has been tested with the vendor devices listed in Table 1. Table 1 Vendor Devices Tested With Cisco ISE 2. Vendor. Supported/Validated Use Cases. X / MAB. Profiler without Co. A. Profiler with Co. A. Posture. Guest/ BYOD. Wireless. Aruba 7. Instant. AP . For flows such as Guest, BYOD, and Posture, the device needs to support RFC 5. Change of Authorization” (Co. A), and a URL Redirection mechanism capable of redirecting to Cisco ISE portals. Support for these flows depends on the NAD’s capabilities. You may need to refer to the device's administration guide for information on many of the attributes required for a network device profile. For information on how to create custom NAD profiles, refer to the Network Access Device Profiles with Cisco Identity Services Engine document. If you have deployed non- Cisco NADs prior to Release 2. RADIUS dictionaries to use them, after upgrade these will continue to work as usual. For more information on Network Device Profiles and how to create, import, and export them, see “Manage Network Devices” chapter in the Cisco Identity Services Engine Administration Guide. Trust. Sec Dashboard. The Trust. Sec dashboard is a centralized monitoring tool for the Trust. Sec network. The Metrics dashlet displays statistics about the behavior of the Trust. Sec network. The Active SGT Sessions dashlet displays the SGT sessions that are currently active in the network. The Alarms dashlet displays the alarms related to the Trust. Sec sessions.

You can also view information regarding Trust. Sec protocol data requests and responses from NADs to Cisco ISE. Trust. Sec Matrix Enhancements. Cisco ISE allows you to create, name, and save the custom views. To create custom views, choose Show > Create Custom View. You can also update the view criteria or delete unused views. You can use the following options in the View drop- down list in the Egress Policy page to change the matrix view: Condensed with SGACL names—If you select this option, the empty cells are hidden and the SGACL names are displayed in the cells. Condensed without SGACL names—The empty cells are hidden and the SGACL names are not displayed in the cells. This view is useful when you want to see more matrix cells and differentiate between the content of the cells using colors, patterns, and icons (cell status). Full with SGACL names—If you select this option, the left and upper menus are hidden and the SGACL names are displayed in the cells. Full without SGACL names—When this option is selected, the matrix is displayed in full screen mode and the SGACL names are not displayed in the cells. You can change the appearance settings. The following options are available: Custom theme—The default theme (colors with no patterns) is displayed initially.
