Oracle Manufacturing Functional Guidance

Dear Seniors,
I have over 5 years of experience in IT, with over 3 year in Demand planning and Supply chain domain. I am looking forward for a career in functional consultinging. Kindly suggest what will be best possible path to do so, ie Getting degree (ex MBA or PGBM) or Training & Certification in Oracle Applications or any better way.
As per my research Oracle Manufacturing will help strengthen my profile. Though i have demand planning background and not manufacturing, but it will help understand entire cycle of planning.
My question to all you is
1) Which is the better way to switch to functional role ?
2) How to get the Oracle manufacturing fucntional training ?
3) Is there any Good institute/college in India which gives this training ( i looking for my options, i know Oracle educations is one)
Request for your kind Guidance.
Thanking you
Madanmohan.

Oracle Apps Functional Guidance

Hi Guru's,
Currently i am working as a Oracle Apps Technical Consultant from past 4 years.
Now i am planning to move SCM Functional side ( SCM Functional Consultant ). Is it right decision.? Please suggest me....

Hard to answer the question. It depends on your experience level, aptitude and your personal likings.
But typically that is the path taken by most techno-functional consultants.
It is important to make sure you work with the business and understand various business processes. That will make you platform independent.
If you are really interested in functional work in Supply chain area, you can look into getting CSCP or CPIM certifications. They are a bit pricey and may not offer a great value for money. However, some folks find them very useful.
Hope this helps

There will certainly be many ways to answer your question. I will offer my perspective.
In my opinion, MBA is a little overhyped (I have one) and not very useful in becoming a functional consultant. The only time I will recommend MBA is if you manage to get into one of the leading universities / colleges ; otherwise it is not worth it.
Obtaining more experience in Demand planning /SCM will be a better way to lay foundation for a functional consultant. Having a strong technical background is always very important. At 5 years in IT (and 3 in SCM), you may need a few more years of experience.
And remember, you don't switch from technical to functional overnight. It is a continuum where, as you increase your understanding of businesses/industries, you slowly start venturing into functional world one task at a time.
So stick with what you are doing for a couple of years - try to be on the lookout for a project/employer that has a wide EBS footprint (this ensures that you get exposure to various modules) and one day you will find you are working more in functional area than technical. No matter what you do, do not let go of technical world completely. A combo of the two is more valuable.
Exploring the menu options on your own and RTFM is one of the best ways to learn. You may consider some classes but they are expensive and offer only a limited face time. Instead, try find someone who is really good and who can walk you thru' various swim lanes/processes. Paying him will be cheaper than attending classes and you will get a lot more face time.
Hope this helps and good luck.

Hi
New Oracle novice
The better way to learn Oracle application (any module) is if you have a Domain Knowledge or experience and the company where u r seeking this domain experience should have implemented the ERP suit then that is the real kind of experience that how its works for your environment. Environment could be Manufacturing(Descrete/Process), Financials, Human Resource, or Distribution wherein the product Oracle application is mapped.
Basically Oracle application is suited for any kind of industry in the World and can be mapped upto 85% and the remaining 15% of mapping can be done by means of Customization or any workarounds.
To become more elobarative and professional you need to go thru the documents/pdfs and metalink information....etc., so that any industry that you can understand can Map the same into Oracle apps.
Hope this little bit clear to you.
Thanks

Oracle Spatial functionality with WFS

Hi all
My first post here so be gentle on me ;-)
This may be an obvious question but here goes ...
When using a WFS client can you access the full SDO_... SQL functions within Oracle Spatial? I've had a read of the WFS spec and it is all a bit vague on how the queries get passed through to the data store.
Also with the WFS locking, is this done at the web server level? If so how would that impact on any direct access to the database? A bit dangerous??
Appreciate any advice on WFS implemtations with a 9i back end. I want to retain the full native Oracle functionality and still deploy via WFS ... a pipe dream??
Thanks
Richard

Thanks for your response Andreas
Sorry, perhaps I wasn't clear, I realise the WFS client will never directly access the data source, that it is the WFS server that makes the request to the data store, not the client, but can the call be passed through to Oracle as native SQL?
I think I found the answer in the OGC Filter Encoding Imp Spec where it desribes in great detail the optional filter component of a WFS request. It desribes the CQL filter operators that include some spatial operators. These could, I understand, be translated from CGL and Feature based schema to SQL (in GML?) and relational based schema.
While I don't think at first glance that the spatial operators in CQL match all the Oracle SDO_ functions they probably go far enough for most normal users.
Am I on the right track?
Does anyone know of any work that has been done in this filter translation to SQL and if it has been implemented successfully anywhere.
I think the locks would still pose a problem, but that's for another day :-)
Thanks
Richard

How to Oracle Database Function in OBIEE Administration Tool

Hi All,
I want to use a Oracle Database Function in as a column in OBIEE (BM, Presentation Model). Can anybody has done this inOBIEE. Any pointers to this is much appreicated.
Thanks,

Hi user7417334,
You cannot use any formulas in the presentation layer (not that I know of). But you can definitely use oracle database functions in the BMM layer.
You want to use the EVALUATE function. It works like this:
e.x. EVALUATE( 'TO_DATE(%1,%2)' AS DATE, '12/31/2009', 'MM/DD/YYYY')
Generic Version: EVALUATE( '<FUNC>' AS <DATATYPE>, VALUE1,VALUE2,etc)
FUNC) Is the syntax for the function you are calling. Any parameters have to be replaced by %<number>, where number refers to the order in which you specify your parameters.
DATATYPE) The datatype that the function will evaluate to. In this case, DATE.
VALUE1) The latter part of the formula is a comma separated list of all the parameters used in the function. In this case, it's the date I want to cast
VALUE2) This is the second parameter. You need as many as you referenced in your function. In this case, it's the date format.
Good luck and if you found this post useful, please award points!
best regards,
-Joe

Execute Oracle Package Function call from FORTE

Has anyone EVER successfully execute an Oracle Package Function call from FORTE
via " sql execute procedure "?
Here's my question, I am able to execute a stored procedure but hasn't figured
out a way to execute a function which defined in a package. The syntax goes
like this: sql execute procedure <PackageName>.<FunctionName> ( input
input_parm, output output_parm). If anyone EVER successfully execute a
function, please let me know, thanks.

You'll need to provide a column alias for the function call:

Using of Oracle Text functions not working in JDev

Hi,
I'm confused about using Oracle Text functions in JDeveloper.
It's not possible for me to pass the sql syntax test while creating a view object with a custom query:
SELECT score (1) myScore,
dokumente.titel,
ctx_doc.snippet ('idx_dokumente_titel',
TO_CHAR (dokumente.dkt_id),
'searchstring'
) snippet
FROM dokumente
WHERE contains (titel, 'searchstring', 1) > 0;
I retrieve "ORA-00911: invalid character" for the contains-function.
(Using this statement in sql-worksheet works.)
Any ideas?

Hi william,
Yes you need code abap to maintein your data. look at <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005vp/helpdata/en/2f/696d360856e808e10000009b38f839/frameset.htm">Business Data Toolset</a>, in the part of Dialog.

Oracle stored functions and where clauses

Hello everybody,
I need to call an Oracle stored function and at the same time do a select on
the result of the query, it works well except when I use a where clause. I
am connecting to Oracle 8.1.7 through OLEDB using the Oracle provider for
OLEDB distributed with this Oracle version.
Here is the query I am doing:
select * from {call MC.SEC.QryTermbases(?, ?) where ID = ?}
If I remove the where clause it works well but I need to use the where. I
know that I could pass the parameter to the procedure instead of doing that
in the select but there are places where I can not do that since the SQL
query is generated dynamically. The code above is just a demo.
Thanks very much for your help,
Jose.

Thanks for answering, it is actually possible to do a select on the return of a function, I have tested it with other than "select *" and it has worked well. What has not worked for me is using a "where" clause. That is "select" without "where" has worked but not with the "where".
I also suspect that it does not work but similar queries work well in MSSQL 2000 and Interbase 6.0 so I thought may be there was a way to do that with Oracle. That is in MSSQL I can treat the result of a function as a normal table and I can do the same thing with a stored procedure that returns a recordset in Interbase.
Thanks again for answering,
Jose.

Oracle 9i function to perform data manipulation

Hi everyone,
I have two scenarios. I would like to write one Oracle 9i function that can accommodate both these scenarios, using PL/SQL developer. I intend passing a varchar2 parameter to this function. Within the function, I perform a select on a table and see if this value sent has a parent record.
If it does not have a parent record (null or blank) then I take this value, join with another table, perform some processing and return one varchar2 value.
If it has a parent record (not null or not blank) then I need to retrieve all the other children records associated with this same parent record, take this value, join with another table,perform some processing and return one varchar2 value.
I have two simple queries that I wrote: one for record with null/blank parent, and the other for record with same parent and other children. These two queries work individually, when I combine them is where I run into problems. Sample table:
TABLE XYZ data: (note: if there is a parent, parent shows up in both parent and child field in the table)
child parent
1234
5107 3167
6259 3652
5678 9754
3167 3167
3652 3652
1649
2306 9754
4657 3652
9754 9754
8753 3652
passing record 1234 into the function.
SELECT A.child, A.parent, C.field1
FROM OTHERTABLE C,
(SELECT TableA.child, TableA.parent
FROM XYZ TableA
WHERE TableA.child ='1234')A
WHERE A.child = C.field2
----(output of this query is 1 record with 3 fields 1234 and null/blank and 987654321. I place this output into a cursor and then take 987654321 and place into a variable and return this value)
passing record 4657 into the function
SELECT c.CHILDfield, c.PARENTfield, TableOther.field1
FROM OTHERTABLE TableOther,(
(SELECT B.CHILDfield, B.PARENTfield FROM
(SELECT A.PARENTfield, i.CHILDfield FROM TableB,
(SELECT TableA.CHILDfield, TableA.PARENTfield
FROM XYZ TableA
WHERE TableA.CHILDfield ('4657' ))A
-- pass 4657 and then get the parent
WHERE A.PARENTfield = TableB.PARENTfield)B
-- gets associated children with the parent from previous query.
-- note: parent can exist in the parent and child fields
WHERE B.CHILDfield <> B.PARENTfield))C
--strips off the parent and gets child/children only as I don't need
--the parent when it is also a child
WHERE C.CHILDfield = TableOther.field1
--(output of this query is 3 records
4657 3652 912345671
6259 3652 945362798
8753 3652 934274857)
I place this output into a cursor and then have a CASE statement that goes thru each record, and appends the third value into a variable, the ultimate return value of this will be as follows:
912345671;945362798;934274857)
The dilemma is writing a generic query to accommodate both these situations. My current function can handle each of these situations individually, but not both. For testing purposes, I change the select statement depending on whether I have a record that has a parent on not!
Any help is greatly appreciated.

You want one function to handle two cases? This is the best opportunity to use the IF STATEMENT.
FUNCTION MyFunc (p_input IN VARCHAR2) RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
ReturnValue VARCHAR2;
BEGIN
IF <blank or null test> THEN
SELECT ... -- Blank or null select statement
... -- Blank or null data processing
RETURN ReturnValue;
ELSE
SELECT ... -- Other select statement
... -- Other data processing
RETURN ReturnValue;
END IF;
END MyFunc;
