Published Date: Mar 23, 2020Updated Date: Feb 22, 2023
Description
Delivering access to ERP applications from the Oracle EBS application server fails when using the PortalAccess technology, from APM.
It can be thrown numerous error messages and popup windows but the bottom line is: the application does not work.

Environment

You're using BigIP APM;

The application come from the Oracle EBS environment;

You're delivering access to this application through the Portal Access technology.Cause
The Oracle EBS applications are making usage of the Java technology.
F5 Product Development has investigated numerous situations and they have carried out numerous experiments.
The conclusion is: the REWRITE engine from BigIP APM cannot properly handle the Java code from those applications
As such: those applications do not work with Portal Access.

Recommended ActionsF5 Networks recommends making usage of a different technology than Portal Access - such as: appTunnel or Network Access - to deliver those applications to remote users.
