iStore R12 – Where is the Register Here link

After I installed the Vision instance of R12 few months back, and took a peek at the iStore end user JSP pages, I was taken aback when I notice there is no ‘Register Here’ link after the user checks out the items in the cart. The page that shows up is the Single-Sign-on (SSO) page.

The solution to this has been documented in the iStore Implementation Guide for R12. However, I also came across Note 457750.1 on metalink.oracle.com, which does not talk about the documentation, instead gives the solution mentioned in the guide. To cut it short, here is the solution

1. Set the profile option, Local Login Mask, to 127 to enable the registration feature.

Navigation : System Administrator > System > Profile > setup profile : Local Login Mask at value 127

2. Create a registration process (for example, iStore Registration) in Oracle User Management.

3. Set the profile option, UMX: Register Here Link: Default Registration Process, at server level. Set this profile at Site, Server and iStore Responsibility level (IBE_CUSTOMER) also.

Navigation : System Administrator > System > Profile > setup profile UMX:
Register Here Link = Default Registration Process

Any change to the profile option, bounce Apache for the change to take effect.

Oracle User Management is accessible by logging in as System Administrator through the AppsLocalLogin interface. For more information on Oracle User Management, we can download Oracle Applications System Administrator’s Guide from metalink.oracle.com.
