In this post, we are going to cover What is an Atom, Atom Setup and Steps for Local Atom Installation i.e How to Install the Execution Engine of Dell Boomi Platform.

What is an Atom:

• At the lowest level of Boomi’s architecture is the Atom.
• An Atom is a lightweight, dynamic runtime engine created with patent-pending technology, Boomi Atoms contain all the components required to execute an integration process.
• There is a full-featured dashboard to monitor the status and health of all Atoms and integration processes whether they are deployed in the cloud or on-premise.
• This is a single-tenant, single node runtime engine. It contains all of the components (connectors, transformation rules, business/processing logic) required to execute processes.
• It is lightweight and can be installed to a local machine or virtual machine in the cloud.

Local Atom Installation:

It supports two deployment models :

1. An in-the-cloud deployment model that is used when all the integration endpoints are cloud-based and
2. An on-premise deployment model that is used when any of the integration endpoints are within a corporate network.

STEPS for Installation:

1. Must be connected to the Internet
2. Installation user must be an administrator
3. Identify the OS : Windows 64-bit & Linux, RHL/ Ubuntu / Oracle
4. Check Minimum Hardware Requirements
5. Check Port (9090)
6. JRE
   • 7 and 8 are supported
7. Optional [install the Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files]
8. Download the local Atom installer in one of the following ways:
   • Go to Manage > Atom Management and click >
   • On the Build page, click the Welcome Under the Create heading, click Atom.
     • The Atom Setup dialog opens

1. • (Optional) Open the Security Options section to generate an installer
     1. Click Generate
     2. Paste the token to another location for use when performing the installation
   • Click Download
   • Click Save

9. Run the installer with admin privileges:

10. Installer will ask for Username and password or Token

11. After this it will confirm the installation location and Once Atom is installed successfully, you can log in to https://platform.boomi.com/ and check the status in Atom Management.

So, this is about the steps for How to Install the Execution Engine of Dell Boomi Platform.

The post Four Key Points About Dell Boomi AtomSphere Platform appeared first on Oracle Trainings.

K21 Academy has been receiving a lot of queries on how to resolve the “Blank Page Issue in Oracle E-Business Suite while opening EBS Admin URL (http://hostname.domainname:port) ” so we have collected most common root cause for  Blank Page.

Through this post, I am going to show you how to troubleshoot the Blank Page Issue and various possible reasons which are the root cause of this issue.

These issues mostly occur with the newly cloned system. However, older systems are too affected by this, the listener can be down or the pages get corrupted because of a bug or maybe the instance is too slow to load the page there are many causes, let’s find out what might be affecting your system and how to resolve it.

These are some of the main reasons for the APPS blank login page in EBS 12.2

• Missing class files in the OA_HTML directory.
• JSP pages not compiled properly.
• Just after the clone.
• Database Listeners are down.
• Archive log space is full.
• Java Cache issues between the multiple middle-tiers.
• The instance is very slow/inaccessible.

[Error 1]: This issue is caused due to missing class files in the OA_HTML directory.

[Solution]: We can see the below error in oacore application.log file

javax.servlet.ServletException: oracle.classloader.util.AnnotatedClassNotFoundException: Missing class: _AppsLocalLogin

Please perform the below steps:

• Shutdown the application services
• Compile the jsp’s manually using the below command:  perl $FND_TOP/patch/115/bin/ojspCompile.pl –compile –flush -p 2
• Check whether all the jsp’s are getting compiled successfully
• Restart the application services
• Clear the browser cache
• Try to open the R12 Login page

[Error 2]: AppsLocalLogin?.jsp page was displaying errors

[Solution]: Edited the $IAS_ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Jserv/etc/jserv.properties

•  Set wrapper.bin.parameters=-DLONG_RUNNING_JVM=false
• Add the line wrapper.bin.parameters=-DCACHEMODE=LOCAL
• Restarted Apache for these changes to take effect and retested the issue

Error 3: After a clone

[Solution]: Make the following changes

•  adopmnctl.sh stopall — to shutdown opmn managed services viz., opmn, forms, oacore & oc4j
• cd $COMMON_TOP/_pages
• mv _pages _pages_old
• cd $FND_TOP/patch/115/bin or export PATH=$FND_TOP/patch/115/bin:$PATH
  Compile all jsps. “perl ojspCompile.pl –compile –flush -p 2      (-p represents parallel threads, you can use from 1 or 10)”
• adopmnctl.sh startall

[Error 4]: Database Listener is down

[Solution]: To resolve this error start the database listener.

[Error 5]: Database Archive Location is full

[Solution]: For this, you can do two things, you can temporarily move the archive files to another location or you can delete older archive files.

[Error 6]: Java Cache issues between the multiple middle-tiers

This issue occurs only if you have more than one mid-tier and you had enabled Distributed Java Caching.

Error Message in the log file:

Exception in static block of jtf.cache.CacheManager. Stack trace is: oracle.apps.jtf.base.resources.FrameworkException:
IAS Cache initialization failed.
The Distributed Caching System failed to initialize on port: 12357.
The list of hosts in the distributed caching system is: [node 1] [node 2].
The port [port no] should be free on each host running the JVMs.
at oracle.apps.jtf.cache.IASCacheProvider.init(IASCacheProvider.java:214)
at oracle.apps.jtf.cache.CacheManager.activateCache(CacheManager.java:1451)

In this scenario, s_java_object_cache_port value was listening on node 2 but not on node 1. So whichever connection went to node 1 it returned a blank page and occasionally it displayed 500 Internal Server error.

[Solution]:

Autoconfig

• Bring down opmn services on both the boxes.
•  Verify no process is listening for s_java_object_cache_port value. command: lsof -i tcp:[port number]
• Change s_java_object_cache_port on all the nodes in the context file
• Run autoconfig

Non-Autoconfig

s_java_object_cache_port value is referrenced in two places

1) $INST_TOP/ora/10.1.3/javacache/admin/javacache.xml
2) Profile option name JTF_DIST_CACHE_PORT

Change the port value to a new number and bounce opmnctl services. Don’t forget to change it in $CONTEXT_FILE. (To take effect during next autoconfig)

[Error 7]: Instance is very slow/inaccessible with a warning on the login page:

Warning Message: Low-level logging is currently enabled. Your application will not perform as well while Low-level logging is on.

[Solution]: Change the following values to:

FND: Debug Log Enabled — No
FND: Debug Log Level — ( Blank )
FND: Debug Log Module — ( Blank )
SLA: Enable Diagnostics — No
FND Validation Level — None

The post Steps to Deploy Process in Dell Boomi Platform appeared first on Oracle Trainings.

In this post, we are going to cover Unique Features of Dell Boomi Platform.

Crowdsourcing

Unique Features of Dell Boomi Platform:

1) Boomi Suggest 

• It anonymously indexes data mappings across all users on the Dell Boomi Platform.
• This means that almost 90 percent of the data mappings that you need to create have already been successfully mapped by others and will be offered as options for you to consider during the configuration process.
• This feature alone can shorten the implementation process from months and weeks to days and hours.

2)  Boomi Assure

• It allows for crowdsourced regression testing.
• You can submit integration processes and test data to AtomSphere from within the console.
• That test data will then be run against every future AtomSphere release.
• Dell Boomi won’t release new versions of AtomSphere until all regression tests are completed and passed.
• With Boomi Assure, you can feel confident that updates to the platform will not break your integration processes.

3) Boomi Resolve Automatically Suggests

• Resolutions for common error messages based on crowdsourced contributions from both the Boomi support team and the user community, and, importantly, it becomes more intelligent and helpful as issues are identified and solutions are recommended.
• Easily accessible through the Boomi AtomSphere interface, Boomi Resolve automatically lists possible solutions in order of relevancy and includes links to full knowledge base articles for further explanation and suggested resolution.
• This feature alone can save you valuable implementation time.

Being a cloud architect, it is our responsibility to configure applications for Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity.  We should know how to migrate our application or database easily from one region of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure to another. This can be easily achieved using the new feature of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Block Volume which allows copying Block Volume backup Across Regions.

If you  want to know more about  the Regions in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, please check our previous post on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) (Region, AD, FD, Tenancy, Compartment, VCN, IAM, Storage Service)

To know more about Block Volume & various other storage options in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, then check my previous post on  Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) )Storage Object, Block | File Storage, Data Transfer Service

Copying Block Volume Across Region

Copying block volume across region feature enables you to move your backup of block volume from one region to another within your tenancy.

The feature is provided at zero additional costs to the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure customers. It is only available on the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console, API, CLI, SDK, and Terraform. If you aren’t aware, we manage Oracle Cloud Infrastructure resources such as compute, storage, databases, network, etc via OCI Console, Rest API, various SDK, or DevOps tool like Terraform.

Limitations

• So far, it is not possible to copy boot volume across regions. However, we can expect this feature in the future updates.
• This feature allows only one backup at a time.

Steps To Copy a Backup Across Regions:

1. Under the Block Storage section in OCI Console, go to block volume backups in the appropriate compartment.

2. Click on the hamburger menu (…) and select the backup you want to copy to another region using the Copy to Another Region option. 

3. Specify the name and the target region for the backup, and click on the Copy Block Volume Backup. 

4. Click on “OK” to confirm the backup copy settings.

5. From the Console, go to the target region where you have copied the backup. Verify that the backup is available there.

Now, you can restore the required backup at the target destination by creating a new volume from the backup.

And that is how we can copy our block volume from one region to another region within the tenant.

If you are preparing for Oracle Cloud Architect Exam [1Z0-932], you can expect questions based on this feature to move block volume backup across regions. Check out some questions that might show up in the OCI Architect 1Z0-932 Exam. To get your FREE Copy of 20+ Questions for the 1Z0-932 Exam, please Click Here.

This post covers solution for the issue while applying Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2.8 patch ‘ 26787767’ and how to troubleshoot it with complete solution.

If you have not yet gone through with FREE video from Oracle ACE & Author Atul Kumar on Online Patching (ADOP) in Oracle E-Business Suite (Apps) R12.2 for Apps DBAs  then I suggest you look here

If you are looking for Oracle E-Business 12.2.8 software: how to download, upgrade path to 12.2.8 and new features that come with EBS 12.2.8 then look here

Issue:

While applying Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2.8 patch ‘ 26787767’ as

adop phase=apply apply_mode=downtime  patches= 26787767  workers=2

Note: When you run patch in downtime mode i.e. option apply_downtime (as done for 12.2.8), patch will directly be applied on RUN edition and you run clean up & fs_clone to clone from RUN Edition to Patch Edition.

Error in logs:

AutoPatch error:

ORA-01653: unable to extend table APPLSYS.AD_PROGRAM_RUN_TASKS by 16 in tablespace APPS_TS_TX_DATA

AutoPatch error:

adpmrp: Error calling adptaskStoreTimInfoToHist(2).

Cause:

There is not enough space in tablespace APPS_TS_TX_DATA.

Fix:

1. Check the existing datafile location for tablespace APPS_TS_TX_DATA by running:

SQL> select tablespace_name,file_name from dba_data_files where TABLESPACE_NAME=’APPS_TS_TX_DATA’;

TABLESPACE_NAME FILE_NAME
—————————— ——————————————————————————–

APPS_TS_TX_DATA /u01/oracle/PRD122/data/a_txn_data03.dbf

APPS_TS_TX_DATA /u01/oracle/PRD122/data/a_txn_data02.dbf

APPS_TS_TX_DATA /u01/oracle/PRD122/data/a_txn_data01.dbf

APPS_TS_TX_DATA /u01/oracle/PRD122/data/a_txn_data04.dbf

2. Check a_txn_data04.dbf current size by running the following SQL:

SQL> select bytes from V$DATAFILE where NAME=’/u01/oracle/PRD122/data/a_txn_data04.dbf’;

BYTES
———-
1828716544

3. Resizing the tablespace:

SQL> alter database datafile ‘/u01/oracle/PRD122/data/a_txn_data04.dbf’ resize 2000M;

Database altered.

4. After increasing the tablespace for APPS_TS_TX_DATA, one should be able to re-run 12.2.8 patch ‘26787767’ successfully.

adop phase=apply apply_mode=downtime patches=26787767 workers=2 restart=yes abandon=no

After increasing size of tablespace APPS_TS_TX_DATA, we are able to proceed further and 12.2.8 patch ‘26787767’ completed successfully.

OR

1. Update tablespace ‘APPS_TS_TX_DATA’ with autoextend on option before to apply EBS 12.2.8 patch ‘26787767’ else you will hit above issue

SQL> alter database datafile ‘/u01/oracle/PRD122/data/a_txn_data04.dbf’ autoextend on next 100M maxsize 30g;

Note: It will do for all datafiles.

SQL> select sum(bytes)/1024/1024/1024, sum(maxbytes)/1024/1024/1024 from dba_data_files where tablespace_name=’&1′;

The difference should be 20gb between the 2 column output

The post [Solved] Issue while applying EBS 12.2.8 patch ‘26787767’ appeared first on Oracle Trainings.

This post covered an issue encountered by a lot of our trainees While Creating Policy in a compartment in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure(OCI). Also, we have covered things you must know about the components of IAM (Identity & Access Management) which are Policy & Compartment.

Identity and Access Management (IAM) covers 10% weightage of overall Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Architect Associate Exam

If you are not certified yet & want to get 1Z0-932 certified then, Join free masterclass on How To Become Oracle Certified Cloud Architect [1Z0-932] in 8 Weeks

The compartment is the first thing you will be selected when creating any resource in OCI like Compute, Storage, Network/VCN etc so it is very important to understand compartment in OCI.

This blog discusses the symptoms, the root cause (Unable To Create a Policy Under a Compartment) and the fix of this prevalent issue. 

(Note: If you are just starting on Oracle Cloud or new to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), then I would suggest you check our previous post on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) which covers the basic concepts i.e. Region, AD, Tenancy, Compartment, VCN, IAM, Compute, Storage Service etc)

Before moving into the Issue & its Fix, Lets first understand the Overview of Compartment & Policy.

Overview of Compartment

A compartment is a  logical container within your account used to store Oracle Cloud Infrastructure  (OCI) Resources created within that compartment (such as compute, storage, and network) and you impose some policies to that compartment, which restricts who can use the resources created within than compartment other than administrators of your account.

You can create compartments based on department like Finance, HR, Sales etc or usages like PROD, TEST, DEV or mix of these two based on your Security Requirements.

To know more about Compartments, please check our blog, here

Quick Facts About Compartment

• The logical container used to organize and isolate cloud resources; each resource is in exactly one compartment
• Compartments are hierarchical; permissions in a parent compartment are inherited by child compartments
• Compartments are global and logical; distinct from physical containers like Regions and Availability Domains
• Resources can be connected/shared across compartments

Overview of Policy In Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)

A policy specifies who can access which Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Resources (Compute, VCN, Object Storage, Database etc). A policy allows a group to work in certain ways with specific types of resources under a particular compartment

• Policies are comprised of one or more statements.
• It specifies which groups can access what resources. Also, it plays a role in the level of access users have in a particular group. 
• Policy, attached to a group defines who can access what under a Tenancy or Compartment.

Policies are written in human-readable format:

• Allow group <group_name> to <verb> <resource-type> in tenancy.
• Allow group <group_name> to <verb> <resource-type> in compartment <compartment_name> [where <conditions>]

When you create a policy you must attach it to a compartment (or the tenancy, which is the root compartment). Where you attach it controls who can then modify it or delete it.

Issue & Fix 

Issue: Error: InvalidParameter – The compartment CompartmentX specified in the policy statement does not exist under the current compartment hierarchy

While creating a policy, hitting with the below issue:

Cause:

It could be through the number of reasons like, You have selected the Wrong Compartment or a Typo.

Cause 1: You have selected the wrong Compartment while creating the policy, which means if you are given access at compartment level, you have to be in that compartment for which you are giving them the access.

Cause 2: While creating a policy, make sure you have mentioned a compartment which exists, means if you have created a compartment with name Test & you are mentioning Tests (with an “s”)

FIX: 

Resources/policies created in one compartment are not visible/accessible in other compartments. A compartment cannot be created under an existing compartment (except root).

Policies can be created in either the tenancy (root compartment) for all users or under a specific compartment (for assigned users). Ensure you select the correct compartment where the policy should be created. When the command is executed under the correct compartment, this policy was successfully created.

This post covers things you must know in order to connect to  Autonomous Database on Oracle Cloud. If you  don’t know what is Autonomous Database, then I would suggest you check my previous post on  [Video] Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse Cloud Service 18c Now on OCI

Database Service In Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

Databases in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure can be put in Two main categories:

1. Autonomous Database: Autonomous Database includes
   – Autonomous Transaction Processing (ATP)
   – Autonomous Data Warehouse (ADW)
   Autonomous databases are preconfigured, fully-managed environments that are suitable for either transaction processing or for data warehouse workloads, ie it is serverless, you don’t have access to servers where it is running, Well so connecting to Autonomous Database is quite simple and you can connect from various tools like SQL Developer, Oracle Data Integrator (ODI), Goldengate, any Oracle TNS Client or JDBC etc.
   NOTE: To know more about ADW & ATP click here
2. User-Managed Database: User-managed Database is Databases on bare metal, virtual machine, and Exadata DB systems that enables you to customize with the resources and settings that meet your requirement.
   NOTE: To know more about user-managed database check here

Steps To Connect Autonomous Database

Note: Make sure you have provisioned the Autonomous Database Instance in Oracle Cloud if you don’t know then check our previous Video Blog where we have given a live demo how to provisioned Autonomous Database in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.

1. Download & Install the SQL Developer (Version 18.2 or above).
(Links at the end to Download SQL Developer)

2. Download the Client Credentials (Wallet) from the OCI Console, which we will be using while connecting to Autonomous Database Instance via SQL Developer.

Note: Make sure you have downloaded the SQL Developer version 18.2 or a higher one, else these features not supported on it.

4. Once you filled above details click on Test if the status changed to successful then you can click on connect to connect to your Autonomous Database Instance

Now you are ready to perform your administrative task on Autonomous Database Instance.

(Now it’s your turn to post your doubts in the comment section and let us know where you are facing challenges while connecting to Autonomous Database Instance using SQL Developer.

This post covers How Composite Lazy Loading Helps and How can we configure Composite Lazy Loading at two different levels.

In this blog post, we will cover Composite Lazy Loading. It is one of the new features in SOA Suite 12c which allows the components, WSDLs, and XSDs for a composite to be loaded as needed instead of loading them at server startup.

How Composite Lazy Loading helps:

This new feature helps in substantially reducing the startup time of the SOA servers specifically in scenarios when a large number of composites are deployed to SOA Servers.

We can configure Composite Lazy Loading at two levels :

a) Domain Level: 

Below are the steps to set the lazy loading at the Domain Level:

Step 1: Launch the em console using the url. http://{hostname}:{portno}/em

Step 2: Go the Weblogic Domain drop-down list and select the System MBean Browser.

Step 3:  In the System MBean Browser, go to the following path:

Application Defined MBeans –> oracle.as.soainfra.config –> Server: ServerName -> SoaInfraConfig –>soa-infra

Step 4: You can change the value to true to turn on the composite lazy loading feature as shown below and click on the Apply button.

b) Component Level

Below are the steps to set the lazy loading at the Component Level:

1. Go to composite.xml file of the SOA project where you want to turn on/off this feature.
2. Add the new property lazyLoading=”false” as shown in the below screenshot:

Note: The property value set at the composite level has high precedence over the one which is set at the Domain level.

So, this is all about the How Composite Lazy Loading helps.

We cover this in one of the modules of our Oracle SOA Dev where we also cover Develop SOA Composite, Orchestration, Managing and Monitoring Composite Applications, Fault Handling, DVM & MDS, JCA Adapters, Mediator, Business Rule Component and much more interesting and latest features in SOA 12C.

In this post we cover solution for the issue ‘libnnz10.so missing when executing ggsci on Linux’, one of the common issue/query that we get frequently from our trainees.

We have noticed as per our experience during training, there are some of the common queries/issues faced by trainees while they are supporting the Goldengate environment or setting up the new environment.

Hence we have come up with a blog series on those common issues/questions and resolution. Here is the fifth Query:

Check here for the fourth query, Extract/Replicat Abended- OGG-02091:Operation not supported? Get answer from here

Issue:

While initializing the GGSCI prompt for Oracle GoldenGate, encountered below error

Error: 

./ggsci: error while loading shared libraries: libnnz11.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Reason:

This error is encountered as ggsci is unable to locate lib files which are available under database ORACLE_HOME.

Resolution:

There are two ways to resolve this error. You can follow either ways.

1. By setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the environment
2. By creating the soft links for the missing Library Files

Note: Always setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH is good instead of creating the soft links. Because we need not to worry about any other library files which is required in future work.

1. Set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Set the Oracle database environment before initializing ggsci. Or set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to lib directory under database ORACLE_HOME

2. Create Soft links for missing library files

• Go to the GoldenGate Home
• Create the soft links as

         [oracle@ogg1 ogg]$ ln -s $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libnnz11.so libnnz11.so

         [oracle@ogg1 ogg]$

         [oracle@ogg1 ogg]$ ln -s $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libclntsh.so.11.1 libclntsh.so.11.1

   Note: When using 64bit, change the lib path (lib32 to lib64) above to the appropriate one.

• Check whether GGSCI Prompt is working fine

Now you should be able to access the ggsci prompt without any issues.

This Post Cover High-Level Steps to protect an on-premises application with Oracle Identity Cloud Service(IDCS) by configuring WebGate.

Introduction

Oracle Access Management uses WebGate to protect an on-premises web application. Instead of relying on Oracle Access Manager for authentication service, WebGate can now interact with Oracle Identity Cloud Service and protect the on-premises web application by using cloud service to authenticate users to access the web application.

If you are new to IDCS, I would highly recommend you to check our post on Oracle Identity Cloud Service (IDCS) Overview & Concepts (Click here) & Cloud Security Using Identity Cloud Service (Click here)

Why IDCS to protect an On-Premise Applications?

Oracle Identity Cloud Service provides identity management, single-sign-on (SSO) and identity governance for applications on-premise, in the cloud and mobile applications. Any user can access the application at any time, anywhere on a device in a secure manner. IDCS has now increased application security for cloud and on-premises workloads, Risk-aware, Enhanced User Productivity, Experience, Reduced Cost & Lot more..

How does IDCS Protect On-Premise Applications?

When an unauthenticated user tries to access the application protected by Oracle Identity Cloud Service, the user is redirected to the Sign In the page of Oracle Identity Cloud Service for authentication.

In this blog, we are using IDCS to protect an On-Premise application by configuring webgate, so you should know about below configurations files to Enable OAuth on Webgate with IDCS.

• Cloud.config — This configuration file has information related to OIDC (OAM/IDCS) server. It is used to configure Webgate for using OAuth/OpenID connect.
• Cloud.policy – Declares the policy to be enforced by the Webgate.
• CWallet– This file contains OAuth Client ID, OAuth Client Secret and Key to encrypt cookies. To establish a connection with an IDP, the Oracle Wallet must be present in the following folder, <WebgateInstanceDir>/config/cwg_wallet

For more information about these configuration files Click here .

Prerequisite

•  Oracle WebLogic Server is installed, a domain has been created, and you can access the Oracle WebLogic Server administration console and ensure that EM Console is running on top of Weblogic server.
• Install Oracle HTTP Server 12.2.1.3 (Webgate will be automatically installed when you install OHS) for more information Click here
• WebGate Bundle Patch 28243743 (how to install Bundle patch Click here to check )
• Deploy On-Premise application on Weblogic Server.
• Then, Modify the mod_wl_ohs.conf file and Configure the WebLogic Proxy Plug-In manually by specifying directives in mod_wl_ohs.conf file so Oracle HTTP Server can allow requests to be proxied from Oracle HTTP Server (OHS) to Oracle WebLogic Server. For more information Click here
• After deploying and configuring the application, ensure the application is accessible through Oracle HTTP Server port.
• Download the cloud_config.txt and cloud_policy.txt files to your webgate folder.
• You should have your own Free Cloud Account and able to access IDCS Console. (if you don’t have free cloud account, then use our free guide to create cloud account and access IDCS Console)

Note: We use this same guide to creating Cloud account for Oracle Identity Cloud service (IDCS) Training and our other Cloud Trainings.

HighLevel steps to Protect an On-Premise application with IDCS:

There are two steps of Configuration to protect On-premise application with IDCS by using Webgate.

1. Configuration on Oracle Identity Cloud Service

1. Login to the Oracle Identity Cloud Service console using the URL: https://idcshost:port. 
2. In the Oracle Identity Cloud Service console, expand the Navigation Drawer, click Applications, and then click Add.
3. Select Trusted Application.
4. Provide the Application URL (Enter the URL  http://<hostname>:port/App/index.html, host:port is the Oracle HTTP Server where your WebGate is configured) & Redirected URL (http://<hostname>port/oauth/callback) to Detail & Client tab respectively
5. Select Configure this application as a resource server now.
6. for the Resources tab, provide the value for the following field Primary Audience, Secondary Audience, Allowed Scopes etc.
7. then, click Next until you reach the last pane, and then click Finish to save the application.
8. Record the values of Client ID and Client Secret for the application, and then click Close (these Client ID and Client Secret would be required when you will Create a wallet in the WebGate folder.)
9. After the application is created and saved. Select the Configuration tab, expand the Client Configuration> section. In the Accessing APIs from Other Applications section, under Allowed Scopes, click Add. In the Add Scope dialog, select Application (name of the application) and click on Add to assign the application to the scope. Click Save to save your changes.
10. Select the Configuration tab, expand the Client Configuration section. In the Accessing APIs from Other Applications section, under Grant the client access to Identity Cloud Service Admin APIs, click Add. In the Add App Role dialog, select Identity Domain Administrator role and click on Add to assign the app Roles. Click Save to save your changes.
11. To activate the application, click Activate button, and then click Activate Application. Oracle Identity Cloud Service displays a confirmation message.

2.  Configure WebGate to Interact with Oracle Identity Cloud Service

• Launch a terminal and navigate to the WebGate folder
• cd $OAM_DOMAIN/config/fmwconfig/components/OHS/ohs1/webgate/config
• In the WebGate folder,  edit downloaded cloud.config file with following parameter callbackPrefix <http://<hostname>:port/oauth/callback>, externalIDUrl <https://idcshost:port>, httpsCertAuthFile is Optional to chnage .

• In the WebGate folder, edit downloaded cloud.policy file with following parameter filter, Policy name, scope, idcsscope, headers (for more information about how to edit configuration file click here)

•  Create a wallet in the WebGate folder to store Client ID and Client Secret of the On-Premise application. for more information on the creation of wallet click here
• Finally, Test the On-premise Application.

This post is from our Oracle Identity Cloud Service (IDCS) training  in which we  have covered everything one should know about Oracle Identity Cloud Service like Architecture, Users & Groups Application, Branding, Auditing & Reports, Rest APIs and much more..
