2 Creation Of the Anonymous page

2.1 New page with anonymous user setup.

To create a page with anonymous setup we should have a standard OAFramework page with all the components required for the page.

We have to create the function for this page.

Let us consider a Registration page NewEmpRegistrationPG.xml and the registered function for this page is NEW_EMP_REGN.

We have to change the following properties for the MainRN for the page.

Rendered: ${oa.FunctionSecurity. NEW_EMP_REGN}

Security Mode: selfSecured

Use the following command to upload the page to the instance,

java oracle.jrad.tools.xml.importer.XMLImporter -username -password -dbconnection "(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=)(PORT=))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=)))" -rootdir ./ -rootPackage

Example.

java oracle.jrad.tools.xml.importer.XMLImporter NewEmpRegistrationPG.xml -username apps -password apps -dbconnection "(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=I3SN021E.idc.oracle.com)(PORT=1610))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=scmtrng)))" -rootdir ./ -rootPackage /xxt/oracle/apps/pon/registration/webui

2.2 Create a function for the new page

Use functional administrator (Self Service) or using system administrator (Forms) responsibility and create a function for the uploaded page.

After the function creation we have to add this function to a menu and the menu has to be granted to GUEST user.

2.3 Add the function to a new menu

Use fuctional administrator responsibility to create a new Menu. Add the created function with this new menu.

Now we are ready with the menu that is having a function, which points to a page which we want to access without the user log in.

If you want to give access to more than one page you can add, as many functions to the menu, like below.

2.4 Create Grant for the created menu.

To create Grant for the menu we have created now, use Security Tab in the functional administrator responsibility. Follow the below mentioned steps.

Step I: Log on to Application with Functional Administrator Responsibility and click on functional administrator responsibility. Click on “Create Grant” button (To create a Global Grant)

Step II: Enter the Grant Name and select Grantee Type as “All Users” and click “Next”

Step III: Enter the User Menu Name of the newly created Menu and click “Next”

Step IV : Click “Finish” button

Step V: Again click on “Create Grant” (To create Guest Grant)

Step VI : Enter the Grant Name and select Grantee Type as “Specific User”. The page refreshes to display a new field called “Grantee” (If the page fails to refresh click “Next” button to go to the next screen and click “Back” button on the next screen to come back to this screen)

Enter “GUEST” in the “Grantee” field and click “Next”

Step VII: Enter the User Menu Name of the newly created Menu and click “Next”

Step VIII : Click “Finish” button

Step IX: Grant creations successfully completed.

3 Download and Upload the Grant
