This documentation shows how integrate UPK content into the Help menu of Oracle E-Business Suite. Examples are drawn from the VIS4 instance; your instance may vary.

Step 1:        After creating the content in UPK Developer, publish the content to a UPK Player package. From the Tools menu, click Publish Content.

Step 2:        Choose Publish All Modules and click OK.

Step 3:        Check Deployment – Player Package and click Next.

Step 4:        Click Next.

Step 5:        Click Publish.

The modules are published.

Step 6:        In this example, the module is exported to the C:Program FilesUser Productivity KitUPK Developer 27PublishPlayer for Add New Responsibility to Existing User directory.

Rename the output directory to remove spaces.

Step 7:        The published directory (upktest in this example) must be copied onto the server. It must be copied to the $COMMON_TOP/portal/<context name> directory.

For VIS4, the upktest directory and its contents must be copied to:

/u3/oracle/vis4comn/portal/VIS4_appslinux

Step 8:        Copy the odcontenturl.js file in the hemi directory to odcustomurl.js. Modify the ORACLEHELP_URL to point to the old Oracle E-Business Suite help file (use the format “http://<oracle server>:<port> /OA_HTML/jsp/fnd/fndhelp.jsp”):

ORACLEHELP_URL=”http://appslinux.support.com:8004/OA_HTML /jsp/fnd/fndhelp.jsp?dbc=vis4″

The odcontenturl.js is located in /u3/oracle/vis4comn/portal/VIS4_appslinux /upktest/ORACLE/hemi/ directory.

Step 9:        Log on to the VIS4 instance and select the System Administrator responsibility. Navigate to Profile > System. The Find System Profile Values form appears. In the Profile field, enter %Help% and then click Find.

Step 10:   Locate the Applications Help Web Agent profile option.

Enter the following URL in the Site field:

http://appslinux.support.com:8004/upktest/ORACLE/hemi/odhelp.html?dbc=/u3/oracle/vis4appl/fnd/11.5.0/secure/VIS4_appslinux/vis4.dbc

Then click Save.

Step 11:    Finally, log off Oracle Applications and then log back on. When Help is selected, a new link (UPK) appears. When it is clicked, the custom Player content appears.
