Contained in package wwctx_api. Call this procedure to set the context for the current browser session. This function creates a session row in the Oracle Portal global context sub-system, and sets the following values for the appropriate columns: USER_NAME ( p_user_name) DB_USER (user currently logged in) NLS_LANGUAGE (default language) IP_ADDRESS (null) LOGIN_TIME (sysdate) Notes: The set_context call allows a non-browser-based client to set the session context which normally would be set by a browser session. Since this context setting asserts identity, which is normally authenticated through a browser login, a user_name and password are required in this call to perform the authentication. procedure set_context ( p_user_name in varchar2, p_password in varchar2 default null, p_company in varchar2 default null );
