EBSAPEXSimplified PDF

This document discusses integrating Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) with Oracle Application Express (APEX). It provides an overview of the architecture with EBS in the database tier and APEX in the middle and web tiers. It then outlines the key steps to integrate the two systems, including creating an APEX application, configuring authentication and authorization, linking EBS functions to the APEX menu, and retrieving EBS session details like responsibilities in APEX.
