How to create Dev, Test and UAT environment of OAS 10g on single Linux box

Hi
According to Paul's forms/reports installation thread, i installed standalone versions of Forms & Reports (10.1.2.0.2)services on Linux suse 9. And it is working fine.
Now my next requirement is that i want to create three environment on my Linux box dev, test and UAT. this one which i have created before i am using that environment as dev.
Kindly provide me some direction that how can i create test and UAT environment on same machine which should point to different source files and databses.
1. Do i need to install again standalone forms/reports services twice? if yes then how can i access them?
2. Is there any setting in existing OAS configuration which can divert me to different sources and databases. i saw something like this somewhere
http://oas.com:7777/forms90/f90servlet?config=UAT&userid=cg_am2/training@tardist
bla bla bla.
Please help.

Hi
Yes if your server has the resources (CPU and memory) of doing so the best thing to do would be to install Dev , Test and UAT in three different ORACLE_HOMES with different port numbers for the Oracle HTTP Server to listen on. There is however a non-technical point to install the UAT environment on a seperate box or to do the UAT testing when Dev and Test processes are not running otherwise this will blur the results of the UAT tests. Create different environment files to source these installations. You could even install three separate standalone webcaches in their own ORACLE_HOME in front of these environments. Keepin mind though that it would be better for availability, ease of management it would be better to install your environments on separate boxes. The config=UAT in the URL points to a forms service for an application called UAT I guess. Unless you have only one application in all the environments you could create forms applications in one ORACLE_HOME, but you would end up with just one environment instead of three. Going for the option where you install the environments on different boxes will save you a lot of headaches.
cheers

Create a test and development environment : only one CMS running

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to create a test and Develpment environment for one CMS?
I'm running BO XI 3.1 enterprise edition.
Thanks
Peter

If you only have one server, you'll need to create an extra folder. Use security to stop non-test/dev users seeing the content. Then publish to it.
Once tested, move reports to 'proper' folders.

How to set up DEV, TEST and PROD environment?

We have used BI publisher Enterprise (standalone), Oracle BI Publisher 10.1.3.4.1. Our admin set up DEV, TEST and PROD environment based on the folder. For example, there is DEV folder, TEST folder and PROD folder. Developer is developing reports under DEV folder. Under TEST and PROD folder, there are many sub-folder based on the login user role. Sometimes a report has to be assigned to a multiple sub-folder under PROD. So our admin create symbolic links in the Linux box which BI server is located. That way, if a report is updated, there is no need to update the report in all sub-folder.
The issue I have is we are not allowed to touch any files under TEST/PROD folder. Only admin will move the report from DEV folder to TEST/PROD folder because those links admin created might be broken. However, as a developer, we still have permission to delete/rename/copy report under those restricted folders. Yesterday one report under PROD has been renamed by a developer. And admin complains because the links he has created not working anymore. Just wonder if admin doesn't allow developers to touch the reports under those folders, is there a way to remove the write permission on those folders? Also do you think this is a good practice to set up DEV, TESDT and PROD environment? Any input will be greatly appreciated.

How dev, QA and producation environment would be organized in InfoView

Hi,
Please let me know about following things
1. How Dev, QA and Producation environment would be organized in InfoView
2. How to navigate among Dev, QA and Producation environment in InfoView
3. While login , can we only login for production environment
Regards,
Manjunath

You can definitely have three different data sources (DEV, QA, Prod) leveraged by your single environment. This would be just for reporting data sources though, and not the CMS database itself.
Reports would be associated with the different data sources depending on the stage of development, and would be accordingly stored in one of three folder trees set up in your single environment. Then access to the trees would be controlled by security set in the CMC.
Development would take place in the /DEV folder tree, and it would then be moved to the /QA tree for testing, and ultimately the production tree for consumption. Just keep in mind that when you are updating content in the different trees (vs. creating new content) that you will need to overwrite existing content in the trees if you wish to preserve the instance history and CUID (which may be referenced in openDocument links, for example).

How to create a test plan with specific transactions (or program)

Hello,
I'm a new user in Sol Man !
How to create a test plan with specific transactions (or program).
In my Business Blueprint (SOLAR01) I've created in 'transaction tab' the name of my specific transactions and linked it.
In my test plan (STWB_2) those specific doesn't appear to be selected !
Thanks in advance.
Georges HUYNEN

Hi
In solar01 you have defined but you have to assign the test case in solar02 for this test case in the test cases tab.
When you do so expand the business sceanario node in test plan generation of STWB_2 transaction and now that will appear.

Integration Test and UAT - planning and document templates

Hey all
we are planning Integration Test and UAT currently
I am perfectly aware of what you need in an e.g. out-dated classical APO-project with integration to ECC, BI etc
But how do you do that in S&OP?
We do not have a 3-system landscape with Developemt-Test-Production or more, we just have a test tennant and production
Is there somewhere a recommended and described procedure?
Example: If we plan 3 test cycles for data migration, we need to get rid of master dat in the existing model, but than we cannot go on working on correcting at the same time. So we need to make a copy of the planning area and load. Sounds simple. But than we need to switch interface with every test cycle
there might be more things to consider which I am not aware of, especially as we are in a cloud
Who can help with documentation / check lists / experience ???
Same applies for a cutover plan ...
Thanks
Irmi

How to create a package and add a file?

Hi all,
I am new to Java and very much much confussed with how to create a package and then include some files any help will be very thankfull.
Thanks for your help
kka.

Steps for creating a package in java are as follows:
Choose a base directory for your classes. For example, you might choose c:\java\packages. Type the following command:
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;c:\java\packages
Create subdirectories for each chapter or section, if you don't already have them.
For each of the classes in the subdirectories, add the following line to the very top of each file:
package directory-name;
where directory-name is the name of the subdirectory the class file is located in.
In other directories you may have class files that need to access one of the classes in another directory (package). To do this, write one of the following at the top of the class that needs the other class:
import subdir.*;
or
import subdir.classname;
Use the class by name in the new class file.
Note that you can create sub-packages by creating subdirectories of the original subdirectories, and inserting package statements at the top of the java files in those directories.
Hope this helps!

How to create portal user and integrate with external appl login

How to create portal user and integrate the user with external application for single sign-on ?
I want to access my external application thru portal user ..?
Shyam

Hi Jithin,
The link that you've shared talks about a different scenario.
In my case, I want to pass the portal user id when the user clicks on the Help Link present in the header area.
I am trying to pass it along with the Help Link Url property of a masthead iview but it is not getting passed to the target Url.
I would like to know if it is possible to pass the Portal User Id in this way or not.
Though if we create a appintegrator iview and pass the user id <User.UserID> along with the target Url, it reaches there.
Thanks & Regards,
Anurag

Can any 1 tell me how to create budget journal and how to enter journal ?

hi all+
Can any one tell me how to create budget journal and how to enter journal against that budget ?+
Regards+
Yasir+

http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/A60725_05/html/comnls/us/gl/budjrnl.htm#index-Budget-journals-Entering--0
Enter budget journals to maintain an audit trail for your budget balances. You can use budget rules to calculate budget journal amounts automatically.
When you post budget journals, the journal amounts update existing budget balances. You can review and change your budget journals before posting them.
Attention: When you use budget rules in Journal Mode, General Ledger calculates the appropriate debit or credit needed to achieve the balance you enter for the account type.
Prerequisites
1. Define a budget
2.Open one or more years for your budget
3.Define a budget organization
4. Assign the "Entered" budget entry type to the accounts for which you want to enter budget journals
To enter budget journals for a single account:
1. Navigate to the Enter Budget Journals window.
2. Specify the Budget Organization for the account to which you want to budget. If the budget organization is password-protected, you must enter the password before you can enter budget journals.
3. Enter the Budget you want to update. You cannot use a budget that is frozen.
4. Enter the range of Accounting Periods to which you want to budget.
5. Enter the Currency of the budget amounts you are entering. The accounts must be assigned to the budget organization for this currency.
6. Choose Journal Mode from the region poplist to enter budget amounts in a journal format.
You can also use Single Row Mode or Worksheet Mode to enter budget journal amounts. However, you can only generate budget journals from these entry modes when you use the Enter Budget Journals window.
Additional Information: When you use Journal Mode, Balance Type is a display-only field. It displays Budget when you are entering budget journals. In the Enter Journals window, this field displays Actual when you are entering actual journals.
7. Enter or query the Account to which you want to budget. You can also switch to Worksheet Mode to easily query accounts, then return to Journal Mode to enter budget journals.
8. Enter a Debit or Credit amount for each period. Do not enter journal amounts if you want to use budget rules to calculate and distribute budget amounts.
9. Choose Create Journals to create a budget journal batch. If you are using budgetary control, you specify a funds action when you create the batch.

How to create process chains,and how to use process like and or xor

Hi,
How to create process chains,and how to use process like and or xor.
can any one please give me a example in each.
Thanks,
cheta.

Hi Cheta,
Here is step by step procedure to create process chains
Process chain is nothing but executing a process ..(or) loading the data any process we can do in background.. that means.. automatically we can execute our process based on Time or any event..
Creating Process Chains
Prerequisites
If you want to include a load process in the process chain, you need to have already created an InfoPackage.
You cannot load flat file data from a client workstation in the background. For this reason, you have stored your data on an application server.
Creating Process Chains
You have the option of creating a process chain in the process chain maintenance screen directly or by using a maintenance dialog for a process:
Creating a Process Chain Directly in the Process Chain Maintenance Screen
You are in the BW Administrator Workbench.
1. Click on the Process Chain Maintenance icon in the AWB toolbar.
The Process Chain Selection dialog window appears.
2. Choose Create.
3. Enter the technical name and a description of the chain, and confirm your entry.
The Add Start Process dialog window appears.
4. Create a variant for a start process.
1. a. On the Maintain Start Process screen, choose whether you want to schedule the chain directly or whether you want to start it using a metachain.
2. b. If you choose to schedule the chain directly, enter the start date value for the chain under Change Selections and save your entries.
The Maintain Start Process screen appears again.
3. c. Save your entries, return to the previous screen and confirm your entries in the Add Start Process dialog window.
You are taken to the Plan View of the process chain maintenance screen.
In the left-hand area of the screen, a navigation area is displayed. In the right-hand area of the screen, the process chain is displayed.
5. Use the drag-and-drop function to add the relevant processes into your process chain.
You use the Process Types function to select the processes. This sorts the process types according to different categories. You can also call up InfoPackages and processes for the data target from the separate InfoSources and Data Targets navigation trees.
Hope this helps
Regards
Karthik
