Migrating from 11i to R12 - setup reports and diagnostics

Hi,
we are looking at migrating(not upgrading) from 11i to R12 and looking for setup scripts and diagnostics which can tell what org structure has been followed in 11i. Is anybody aware of such scripts and/or diagnostic programs provided by Oracle. We also want to find out the the volume of data etc in various primary tables. Do we have some kind of report for this too ? Any help would be highly appreciated.

Data Migration from 11i to R12 Global - Open POs,lines, receipts & on hand upload, Is it possible to do the onhand qty upload with over riding of all receipts which uploaded against Open PO lines?

Hi Friends,
We are in a phase of data migration from 11i to R12
I was discussed with client & they wants extraction of all open POs which was generated after 01 Jan 2014 to till date in 11i.
Condition for open POs is PO qty-received qty=>0
critical Example for open PO is :PO no: 10 has 4 lines, 3lines full qty has been received & for 1 line partial qty(say 50 out of 100) received.
in this case he wants in R12 uploading as PO no:10 should entered as open PO with all 4lines & 3 lines complete receipt should be done, for 4th line partial qty i.e 50 should be received.
the question is if we upload on hand qty first, then open POs & receipts, it will increase the onhand qty in new system(mismatch of on hand qty's 11i to R12)
Is it possible to do the onhand qty upload with over riding of all receipts which uploaded against Open PO lines.
Or Please advice best solution.
Thanks & Regards

Upgrade from 11i to R12 - Custom Forms,Reports and Workflows

Dear Community Friends,
We are planning for upgrade from oracle apps 11.5.10.2 to R12.
We have custom Forms,Form Libraries,Reports and Workflows.
Kindly provide me for approach on how to migrate Custom form libraries,reports and Workflows.
I beleive, this thread will exists as one shot point for custom forms,reports,workflow upgradation from 11i to r12 with detailed steps.
I know that many links exists here in the forum for all the above objects mentioned,but still from all those i am able to get a clear picture for oracle forms but not for custom form libraries ,reports and workflows.
Also,this post will provide a low level,practical picture of the steps for those who are in line with this.
Links i have read for all these in our forum are:
For Custom Forms,
Re: Planning to upgrade from 11i to R12
Re: Custom forms: After upgrading 11i to R12
ofcourse,'n' number of links exists providing metalink notes also.
Hussain,Helios and some others also has given many updates regd this.
For custom workflow upgradation,

For reports,links mentioned the below metalink notes:
Do Not Compile EBS R12 Reports Using rwconverter.sh or Reports Builder from IDS 10gR2 [ID 786794.1]
Using the OracleAS 10.1.2 Forms and Reports Builders with Oracle Applications Release 12 [ID 444248.1]
Per my understanding, after searching in many threads,i am here by summarising the practical low level steps for custom forms migration
Please correct me,if i am wrong.
1) Download the Forms(.fmb's) and all PLL's(all the PLL from resource folder in AU_TOP) into a Local Machine Folder
2) Open the forms using Forms Developer 10G and connect to DB
3) Compile by clicking compilein Forms Developer and then save it.
4) Upload the Saved Forms(.fmb's) into the new R12 server(system) in the respective custom paths(paths similar to 11i Server)
5) Compile all the forms using the command like below(example command is shown below or f60 gen commands or frmcmp.sh utility) in the respective custom form paths,
this will generate the .fmx's.
frmcmp_batch module=FORMNAME.fmb userid=apps/apps output_file=FORMNAME.fmx compile_all=yes
Link for compiling forms: https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/ui/km/SearchDocDisplay.jspx?_afrLoop=359210362972527&type=DOCUMENT&id=1085928.1&displayIndex=3&_afrWindowMode=0&_adf.ctrl-state=c348xvwbg_98
6) Open the form and check in R12 instance
As per my understanding for custom form libraries,we can just copy paste the PLL's from 11i server to R12 server (Please correct me,if i am wrong)
Can anyone please help me out in custom reports and custom workflows.Sorry that,i could not get a practical and clear picture for reports and also for workflow even after referring many threads and metalink notes mentioned.
As for reports,some says that Developer Suite 10g can be used and .rdf can be used in R12.
Some says that reports should be converted to XML published as reports does not exists in R12.
So,i am not clear on this.

So,i am not clear on this.You can still use RDF files in R12, and just follow the approach you mentioned above, and you do not have to migrate them to XML publisher (though it is recommended, but this can be done after the upgrade as an enhancement task).
For custom workflow, you need also to do the same thing, open them using workflow builder and make sure they work in R12 (correct the code if required and save them again in R12 once they work properly).

Migration of Approved Invoices from 11i to R12

Hi All,
I am migrating all approved invoices from 11i to R12 using Invoice Interface tables and "Payables Open Interface Import" Concurrent program.But in R12 the Approval status changes and to "Required" and the Accounted status of distribution line changes to Unprocessed. We do not have the set up for approval work flow process, So the invoice should be validated by "Force Validation" by checking the ‘Allow Force Approval’ in payable options. But when I am running the "Invoice Validation" program the theere is no change in the Approval status.
Please help.
Thanks in Advance,

I am a newbie to Oracle Apps. I guess Oracle Apps use the "sequence" to generate the Key in the Oracle tables or is there some else mechanism.
When migrating Oracle Apps from lower version to higher version, is there any concept of setting the sequence numbers in Oracle Apps or we don't need to take care of this ie the migration handles this automatically.The migration/upgrade script/driver should take of seeded objects,
For your custom objects, you need to verify it yourself.
Thanks,

How to migrate the userwise organization access rights info from 11i to R12

Dear All,
Is there a way to migrate the user-wise organization access rights information from 11i to R12 ? Does this falls under DBA purview ?

I assume you are talking about Organization Access (in Inventory). As far as I know, there is no api for this. You can consider using a key-mapping software such as Data loader / winparrot.
OR
you can write your own script to insert records into the org_access table. It should be a straight forward insert. You just need to ensure that the combination of organization_id, responsibility_id and resp_application_id is valid.
Hope this helps

Best possible appraoch to migrate OAF personalization from 11i to R12

Hi
We are upgrading the EBS application from 11i to R12 and I am dealing with OAF personalization.
Since some of the screen (Agent and Sales Dashboard) layouts in R12 are changed significantly, I believe we have no alternative but to re-implement those changes manually.
I was wondering what would be the best approach to do this and while doing this how I can make sure that I have not missed any change.
Appreciate any help on this.

The best possible approach is to deprecate them. Are they still needed with R12?

Inventory Module Upgrade from 11i to R12 - How to Copy Inventory Orgs.

Hi All,
We are working on R12 Upgrade project for Item Conversion.
Requirement is to upgrade and bring all the Item setup and data from 11i to R12.
As part of setup requirement, there are around 1900 Inventory Orgs in 11i instance. Please let me know what is the best approach / strategy to copy and bring over the 1900 Inventory Orgs.including the Master Org from 11i to R12.
Your inputs will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance !

Nityanand.

Reporting Set of Books (MRC) in 11i is called as Alternate Currency Ledgers (ALC Ledger) in R12.
After 11i upgrade, the reporting SOBs (MRCs) will be automatically changed to ALCs in R12.
Some are primary and some are used as reportingI hope you are talking about MRCs.
When we upgrade from 11i to r12, all the SOBs would be created as primary ledgers (as per oracle)If they are not MRCs and it is getting upgraded as primay ledger, you may create new ALC for your requirement.
In that case you may need a datafix from Oracle to fix the old data.

Business Folder Upgrade from 11i to R12

Hi,
We are upgrading from 11.5.10.2 to R12.
In the process, we have to upgrade discoverer folder also.
To undergo the change, we are testing one report from 11i to R12.
The report has the business folder as po_vendors in 11i, which is taking data from PO_VENDORS table from PO schema.
As the PO_VENDORS table is obselete in R12.
We are trying to change the PO_VENDORS table to AP_SUPPLIERS table and we are changing schema from PO to AP.
We were able to do that in Disco Admin, but when I run the report from Desktop, we are not able to get the data.
Where in SQLInspector we can that the query is changed, one more interesting thing is when we run the query from backend for exact set of parameters, its returning data.
Is there anything which we need to take care, are we doing anything wrong.
Please help.

Upgrade from 11i to r12 application servers with Discoverer 10g

Hello, one and all.
I have recently upgraded from 11i to r12 Oracle financial application server, after much patching and testing we finally came to the Discoverer application server.
Most workbooks open fine, however it seems that some of them (about 3%) reference columns that no longer exist in r12, for example, SET_Of_BOOKS_ID has become LEDGER_ID in r12 on the gl.gl_je_lines table.
This causes any workbook that references that business area to return an error 'Database Error - ORA-00904: " O974567"."SET_OF_BOOKS_ID": invalid identifier.
Well and good; I think that that's caused by the EUL not being refreshed after the upgrade, so I go to the Discoverer administrator and refresh the general ledger Business area. This unfortunately renames several objects inside the business area, including SET_OF_BOOKS_ID to LEDGER_ID, so instead of that error, we now get several 'Missing item or condition' errors until the workbook will not open at all with an 'Item dependency "" not found in the EUL.' error. This i assume is because the workbooks still reference the old items.
I'm guessing that several Business areas and objects therein have been renamed since nearly none of the workbooks will open now. I have restored the EUL from a backup (imported all the *.eex files) however I was wondering if anyone had faced this issue.
I apologize as I have very little understanding of Discoverer and this might be a simple fix, but I'm at this point willing to try anything for help.
Thanks!

Hi Srini
Srini,
To understand your above reply,
You say that
1) If they are based on 11i Discoverer EUL and Folders then export EUL And WorkBooks and Import them
into R12 Discoverer Environment..Refresh the EUL..So ORACLE will take care of the changes like 11i SOB vs R12 Ledegrs??Pl open a SR with Support on what to do with seeded EUL as part of this upgrade - I suspect you will need to import the R12 EUL as part of this upgrade.

2) If they are Custom SQL reports from 11i then just RECREATE them from SCRATCH..Correct - after you verify that they are changed to reflect the R12 data model

Am I right?

From DBA perspective, Is the below step enough to do in R12 for India localization?
Latest Oracle HRMS Legislative Data Patch Available (HR Global / hrglobal) (Doc ID 145837.1)
As per this, need to apply patch 12730429 and then followed by Datainstall and running hrglobal.drv
Let me know if anything needs to be done apart from this.
Regards,
RKA

Hi,
Thanks. We followed the steps as per Doc ID 954143.1.
Also, We installed all preinstall patches as per
Pre and Post Upgrade Requirements from 11i to R12.1 for Oracle Financials for India (India Localization) (Doc ID 1590646.1)
But, Still after upgrade we are havings issues like TDS year is not migrated, Access some forms has errors saying "Table does not exist".
Can you please let us know what are the other steps needs to be performed apart from installing preinstall patches before upgrade with respect to India localization?

How to migrate from a standard store setup in a splitted store (msg - idx) setup

How can I migrate from a standard store setup in a splitted setup described in
https://wikis.oracle.com/display/CommSuite/Best+Practices+for+Messaging+Server+and+ZFS
can a 'reconstruct' run do the migration or have I do a
imsbackup - imsrestore ?

If your new setup would use the same filesystem layout as the old one (i.e. directory paths to the files would be the same when your migration is complete) you can just copy the existing store into the new structure, rename the old store directory into some other name, and mount the new hierarchy instead of it (zfs set mountpoint=...). The CommSuite Wiki also includes pages on more complex migrations, such as splitting the user populace into several stores (on different storage) and/or separate mailhosts. That generally requires that you lock the user in LDAP (perhaps deferring his incoming mail for later processing into the new location), migrate his mailbox, rewrite the pointers from LDAP, reenable account. The devil is in the details, for both methods. For the latter, see Wiki; for the former I'll elaborate a bit here
1) To avoid any surprises, you should stop the messaging services before making the filesystem switch, finalize the data migration (probably with prepared data already mostly correct in the new hierarchy before you shut down the server, just resync'ing the recent changes into new structure), make the switch and reenable the server. If this is a lightly-used server which can tolerate some downtime - good for you If it is a production server, you should schedule some time when it is not very used so you can shut it down, and try to be fast - so perhaps practice on a test system or a clone first.
I'd strongly recommend taking this adventure in small reversible steps, using snapshots and backups, and renaming old files and directories instead of removing them - until you're sure it all works, at least.
2) If your current setup already includes a message store on ZFS, and it is large enough for size to be a problem, you can save some time and space by tricks that lead to direct re-use of existing files as if they are the dataset with a prepopulated message store.
* If this is a single dataset with lots of irrelevant data (i.e. one dataset for the messaging local zone root with everything in it, from OS to mailboxes) you can try zfs-cloning a snapshot of the existing filesystem and moving the message files to that clone's root (eradicating all irrelevant directories and files on the clone). Likewise, you'd remove the mailbox files on the original system (when the time is right, and after sync-ing).
* If this is already a dedicated store dataset which contains the directories like dbdata/ mboxlist/ partition/ session/ and which you want to split further to store just some files (indices, databases) separately, you might find it easier to just make new filesystem datasets with proper recordsizes and relocate these files there, and move the partition/primary to the remaining dataset's root, as above. In our setups, the other directories only take up a few megabytes and are not worth the hassle of cloning - which you can also do for larger setups (i.e. make 4 clones and make different data at each one's root). Either way, when you're done, you can and should make sure that these datasets can mount properly into the hierarchy, yielding the pathnames you need.
3) You might also look into separating the various log-file directories into datasets, perhaps with gzip-9 compression. In fact, to reduce needed IOPS and disk space at expense of available CPU-time, you might use lightweight compression (lzjb) on all messaging data, and gzip on WORM data sets - local zone, but not global OS, roots; logs; etc. Structured databases might better be left without compression, especially if you use reduced record sizes - they might just not compress enough to make a difference, just burning CPU cycles. Though you could look into "zle" compression which would eliminate strings of null bytes only - there's lots of these in fresh database files.
4) If you need to recompress the data as suggested in point (3), or if you migrate from some other storage to ZFS, rsync may be your friend (at least, if your systems don't rely on ZFS/NFSv4 ACLs - in that case you're limited to Solaris tar or cpio, or perhaps to very recent rsync versions which claim ACL support). Namely, I'd suggest "rsync -acvPHK --delete-after $SRC/ $DST/" with maybe some more flags added for your needs. This would retain the hardlink structure which Messaging server uses a lot, and with "-c" it verifies file contents to make sure you've copied everything over (i.e. if a file changes without touching the timestamp).
Also, if you were busy preparing the new data hierarchy with a running server, you'd need to rsync old data to new while the services are down. Note that reading and comparing the two structures can take considerable time - translating to downtime for the services.
Note that if you migrate from ZFS to ZFS (splitting as described in (2)), you might benefit from "zfs diff" if your ZFS version supports it - this *should* report all ofjects that changes since the named snapshot, and you can try to parse and feed this to rsync or some other migration tool.
Hope this helps and you don't nuke your system,
