I need a quick utility function to look up an Oracle user’s ID (`user_id`) based on their username.

      The function **`XXEN_UTIL.USER_ID(p_user_name in varchar2)`** returns the user ID based on the provided user name.

      What value is returned for the SYSADMIN user?

      The query `select xxen_util.user_id(‘SYSADMIN’) from dual` returns `0`.

      If I am building an API integration, is there a way to initialize the application context session?

      Yes, before calling submission APIs, you must initialize the application context session using `xxen_report.apps_initialize`, providing the user name, responsibility key, and responsibility application short code.
