- To implement Help Integration for Oracle E-Business Suite, you must install and compile two library files that are delivered with the Developer installation. To complete the integration, modify the HELP_WEB_AGENT profile on the Oracle server to point to the Player content. This causes the Player interface to launch directly from the Oracle Help menu.

- Enable Context Recognition in Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1.1 or Earlier
- To enable context recognition, you must either deploy a custom library or modify an existing one, and then modify the HELP_WEB_AGENT profile. The custom library is required for recording content only. It is not necessary for deployment of context-sensitive content from Oracle E-Business Suite. If you use the different systems for development (content creation) and production (deployment), then the custom library configuration is not necessary in the production environment. If you use the same system for development and production, then custom library only needs to be installed while the content is being recorded.
- The .pll delivered with the Developer is written with SPECIAL7 as the default value. This default value is a suggestion. You can use anything between 1 and 15. If you have not created any Oracle specific applications that use the SPECIAL event, you can use the default. If you have created Oracle-specific applications that do use the SPECIAL event, the value of 7 may be taken, and you need to find another suitable unused value between 1 and 15.
- Check Existing Custom Library Configuration
- You can use the following command lines to find an unused value instead of editing and recompiling the custom.pll file repeatedly:
- cd $AU_TOP/forms/US; grep -i APP_SPECIAL.ENABLE `find . -name "*.fmb" -print`| grep SPECIAL7| grep -i PROPERTY_ON
- cd $AU_TOP/resource; grep -i APP_SPECIAL.ENABLE `find . -name "*.fmb" -print`| grep SPECIAL7| g rep -i PROPERTY_ON
- If you receive a result that looks like the statement below, the value is already being used.
- ./CSCCCCRC.fmb:app_special.enable('SPECIAL7', PROPERTY_ON);
- Deploy a Custom Library
- Back up your existing
- CUSTOM.pll
- CUSTOM.pll.orig
- Locate the
- ODPNCustomPLL.zip
- CUSTOM.pll
- ODPN.pll files
- Note:
- Ensure that no one is currently using Oracle Applications (Web Forms). Shut down the Oracle Forms Server service if you are running 11i.
- Note:
- While in the $AU_TOP/resource, compile the
- ODPN.pll
- CUSTOM.pll
- Note:
- Note:
- Use the following steps if you have custom logic in your custom library (CUSTOM.pll) that you do not want to overwrite. You must place a line of code in the custom library that will call out to a new library (ODPN.pll). After doing this, you will only need to recompile your existing CUSTOM.pll if you receive new versions of ODPN.pll with software upgrades.
- Modify an Existing Custom Library
- Back up your existing
- CUSTOM.pll
- CUSTOM.pll.orig
- Copy the

- Copy the
- APPCORE2.pll

- ODPN.pll
- Answer
- Yes
- Add the following code to the Event procedure:
- Note:
- Ensure that no one is currently using Oracle Applications (Web Forms). Shut down the Oracle Forms Server service.
- Copy the
- CUSTOM.pll
- ODPN.pll
- Compile both the
- ODPN.pll
- CUSTOM.pll
- Modify the HELP_WEB_AGENT Profile
- You must modify the HELP_WEB_AGENT profile in Oracle to point to the oracle_gateway.html in the Player content deployed on the server.
- It is a good idea to make a note of the original help URL in case you want to use it later.
- Note:
- For Oracle E-Business Suite 11i , the URL consists of two parts: the path for the oracle_gateway.html file located in the \oracle\hemi folder in the Player content, plus the path of the default dbc file for the Oracle server.
- Following is an example for 11i:
- URL=http://<server>:<port>/oracle/hemi/oracle_gateway.html?dbc=d:\oracle\o11iappl\fnd\11.5.0\secure\<server name>.dbc
- Following is an example for R12:
- URL=http://<server>:<port>/oracle/hemi/oracle_gateway.html
