About the oracle.apps.icx.security.session.created business event.
Product: Applications Object Library
Minimum Version: 11.5.10

DESCRIPTION:
-----------

You have been directed to this note because you are applying patch #3861070 or because
you want to enable single session per user.

This patch installs the event and the event subscription to enable a single
login per user in the file system.
If a specific user logs in to the application and a previous, valid session
is still active, the previous session(s) are immediatelly invalidated by the
event oracle.apps.icx.security.session.created.

For implementing this feature in R12, there is no need to apply any patch as the files
required are already present in the filesytem. See instructions below.


The event will not fire for the following users:

- SYSADMIN
- GUEST
- ANONYMOUS

WARNINGS:
---------

1) This functionality WILL NOT WORK in SSO enabled environments due to architectural limitations.

2) Please do not load this business event if want to enable users to keep
multiple sessions against e-Business Suite with the same userid.

3) If you load this event in a non-production environment, have in mind
that you might experience disconnections in Jdeveloper when using the
applications extensions and when using the OA Framework development
environment, since there is no exception for the FWK built-in development
user (FWKTESTER).

4) The patch copies the files to the file system, but they should be
loaded manually in order to work as documented in the next steps.
