Backend tables information in Agile PLM 8.5 and 9.3 versions

I am upgrading Agile PLM version 8.5 that currently has Oracle database 9g, to version 9.3 application and backend Oracle database to 11g.
I need to verify the data between Agile database and our EBS database and am wondering if anyone can give me info on querying the tables in Agile database, or the tablenames in the Agile PLM databases.
I am able to connect to the Oracle database in Agile using the dblink, but couldn't figure out the tables that exist there. thanks

If it is an Oracle database then you can get a list of tables from all_tables, a list of columns from all_tab_cols, and a listing of objects from all_objects.
If you wish to do data comparisons look into using the built in DBMS_COMPARISON package.

Agile PLM PIP

Need advice on the product versions -
We have Oracle EBS 11.5.10.2 and Agile PLM 9.3 both running on IBM Aix Servers. We want to add SOA, AIA and Agile PLM PIP into this mixture. From what I have read so far, AIA is not certified on WLS. Does this mean, I need to be on SOA 10.1.3.4 on OAS only? We also plan to use BPEL for orchestrating other processes outside of Agile and EBS. What would you recommed?
Thanks
Shanthi

Yes. Design to Release PIP is currently certified to run on SOA Suite 10.1.3.4 and OAS. In the future, there are plans to have PIPs certified to run on FMW 11g and WLS.

Can you please help in this regard?
1. I have tried using ODBC and also using SAP hana Data Provider from SSIS to read data from HANA but i am not successfull.
Can you please help me on urgent basis?

Where are the Agile PLM discussion forums?

I'm looking for the Agile PLM discussion forums. I see the odd post in a variety of non-related forums, but do not see any listed that are specific to Agile PLM.

It seems there is no forum with that name or specific area.
As PLM is part of the big Apps family, we might focus in on EBS category of fourms:

One of the Supply chain forums possibly, but from a quick search I'd say posts/discussions exist in {forum:id=475}.

AIA Agile PLM PIP 2.3.0

Hello,
Has any one able to install and get the PIP worked on Windows as expected? I am referring to the implementation document
and looks like it is an exhaustive list of set ups and configurations. Can you share some installation environments and debugging techniques
for the same?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Team,
I am working on Agile EBS Integration.after installation of AIA2.5 on OAS 10.1.3.4 and Database Oracle 10.1.2.4
In Agile 9.3.1 Java Client,I am facing same issue while connecting through ACS.
Please find the details :
Protocal : JMS
Provider Context Factory : com.evermind.server.rmi.RMIInitialContextFactory
Connection Factory : java:comp/resource/EcoRP/QueueConnectionFactories/QCF
Default Provider URl : opmn:ormi://AIAHOST:23791:oc4j_soa

Error : The Remote Server resturns the following error message "java:comp/resource/EcoRP/QueueConnectionFactories/QCF".
In my observation this queue details not avaialble in Agile OAS JMS side.
Is this queue and connection factory needs to be created before applying the ACS Test.
Can you please help me on debugging the issue.

SOLUTION: Implementing Operating Unit Org Security Without EBS Integration

Hi all,
Thank you for taking the time to review this post.
Environment
Oracle BI Applications 7.9.6 (Financial & Project Analytics)
Oracle E-Business Suite 11.5.10
Question
I have implemented BI Applications and am using LDAP Authentication (OID/MSAD) to authenticate the BI Apps users. This is authenticating successfully. I also require to implement GROUP authorisation and OU_ORG security, however as I am not implementing the documented EBS integration (as per Metalink Note ID 555254.1) I am looking at a custom solution.
To achieve this I have created a custom database table in the BAW that contains the USER, GROUP and OU_ORG information. Then I have created separate Initialization Blocks for the GROUP and OU_ORG security that are being triggered after the LDAP Authentication. These SQL queries are based on returning data to a row-wise initialization Variable. I am aligning the GROUP values to the OOTB Presentation Groups and am able to get that Initialization Block to work as anticipated - the User only has the privileges to see Dashboard and Application links as I have configured in the Web Catalog.
However, they can see all data across all orgs. The OU_ORG security is returning the correct org_ids into the row-wise variable, but I appear to be missing how OBIEE utilises this for data security.
If you are able to assist with a possible solution, that would be greatly appreciated. Also, if it relates to a change at the Dashboard, Answers or RPD level, if you were able to include where specifically in these components that would also be very beneficial.
Many thanks,
Gary.

Here is another approach with ‘external database authentication’ where the EBS database provides the user information.
1. Create a table with the mapping of the EBS responsibilities and OBI Apps Groups
Ex: Create a new table “xx_resp_group_mapping” which contains the mapping between the EBS responsibility and OBI Apps groups.
Essentially, a one-time mapping of the BI apps groups needs to be done with the EBS groups so that the corresponding default access of these BI Apps groups can be passed on to the custom groups
2. Modify the authentication initialization block to validate the user against EBS
3. Modify the authorization initialization block to fetch the respective OBI Apps groups using the EBS user and the mapping table created in point 1
4. Enable the standard OU based security initialization block.
5. Add all the OBI Apps groups under the Operating Unity Security Group
6. Modify the permissions in the Operating Unity Security Group to put a filter on the Sales Org OU. Other filters on fact tables are not modified.
7. By default OBI Apps applies data level filters on fact tables. If dimension tables need explicit data level security it would need customization.
8. Any users who are not in EBS but need exclusive access only to BI Apps data can be granted exclusive access by adding those users directly in the OBI repository. They would directly be validated against the OBI server.
However, this approach is not suitable if the number of users are high in numbers.

OBIA 7.9.5 EBS Integration Not Logged On nQSError 43001 Authentication Fail

Hi,
I'm attempting to get Oracle Business Intelligence Applications 7.9.5 / OBIEE 10.1.3.3.2 integrated into the eBusiness Suite 11.5.10.2 per Metalink Note 552735.1. At the moment not an action link, just menu option to SA Administrator.
I've run into and worked around a number of problems with the Initialization block variables setup in OracleBIAnalyticsApps.rpd and now no longer get errors in the NQServer.log after disabling Initialization Blocks for Siebel/Peoplesoft and disabling 2 EBS specific Init blocks that were erroring; 'Inventory Organizations' and 'Ledgers' I'll fix those later.
However, now I get an error in the sawlog0.log file as follows:

The strange thing is both Gareth and I have configured OBIA/OBIEE on a Linux server and local authentication works fine. Once we enable external EBS authentication, we get the error listed above.
Does anyone who has done the OBIA EBS integration with OBIEE running on Linux have an example of the odbc.ini file. It appears that even though we have reconfigured OracleBIAnalyticsApps.rpd to use OCI everywhere, that there is still some hard coded ODBC references for external authentication.
We are configuring instanceconfig.xml as directed:
Integrating Oracle Business Intelligence Applications with Oracle E-Business Suite
https://metalink2.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=552735.1
Configuring InstanceConfig.xml for External Authentication
1. Modify the instanceconfig.xml file for the Oracle BI Presentation Services as shown below:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<WebConfig>
<ServerInstance>
<CatalogPath>c:\temp\default</CatalogPath>
<DSN>AnalyticsWeb</DSN>
<Auth>
<ExternalLogon enabled="true">
<ParamList>
<Param name="NQ_SESSION.ICX_SESSION_COOKIE"
source="cookie"
nameInSource="EBSAppsDatabaseSID"/>
<Param name="NQ_SESSION.ACF"
source="url"
nameInSource="ACF"/>
</ParamList>
</ExternalLogon>
</Auth>

</ServerInstance>
</WebConfig>
2. The nameInSource for the cookie should be the same as the Oracle E-Business Suite application database SID name. To verify the name of the cookie, using Firefox, check the name of the cookie created under the us.oracle.com domain (or the domain where your Oracle E-Business Suite Application server is running). Please note that the cookie name is case sensitive.

Creating Custom BI Reports from Oracle Agile PLM

Hi All,
Firstly apologies if this post is in the wrong forum, I struggling to find any real Oracle Agile Support.
I have been tasked with developing 3 custom BI reports for Oracle Agile. I have used BI Publisher in the past but only within Oracle E-Business Suite. From what I have seen so far Oracle Agile is a lot different.
What I need to understand is within Oracle Agile how do I create the XML Data file for the custom report, and then how do you then register the RTF template and run the report within Oracle Agile PLM.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Regards
Pete

Hi,
To develop custom report there are many way's. To discuss more Please send your contact details at [email protected]

Agile PLM Read Only Tables

Hello,
Im working on Agile PLM and facing issues in modifying the 'Change History' for an Item.
When i'm executing following code-
ITable table = item.getTable(ItemConstants.TABLE_CHANGEHISTORY);
Map param = new HashMap();
param.put(ItemConstants.TABLE_CHANGEHISTORY, "10");
IRow row = table.createRow(params);
Following error is observed
Exception in thread "main" Error code : 60063
Error message : Object is read-only
Agile SDK documentation says the table "Change History" is a Read-Only table, how can i make it writable??
Any pointers in this regards will be helpful.
Hoping for a response.. :-)

Hi,
Only the released/canceled changes with the Affected Items could be listed in the Item's 'Change History' table. You cannot force any data write to Change History directly.

How to remove authentication to access Agile PLM object's attachment link

In Agile PLM web client, create part and add attachment. Now select the attachment row, click More and select ‘Get Shortcut’ option. Paste this link in browser. It will ask for authentication and once you give the details it will open the file.
The link I got from ‘Get Shortcut’ looks like http://<Server>/Agile/link/..
Can anyone tell me how to remove this authentication?

I would restore User's file structre back to normal just by copying from standby user?
Did you mean copy files to a new user profile? If so, hope this link can be helpful for you
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows/fix-corrupted-user-profile#1TC=windows-7
For the unknown user, as you said, it's probably a user account from second OS or
action. If you're annoying about this unknown user, then you can remove all occurrences of granted rights to the specified SID with this command icals [/remove[:g|:d]] <Sid>[...]] [/t] [/c] [/l] [/q]

Accessing Agile PLM over Internet

Hi,
I am trying to access Agile PLM 93 URL over internet. I configured IIS and was successful in accessing the web URL on internet.
But when I select an attachment row of an object and select More -> Get Shortcut option. Then I paste this link in browser, I am getting the below error
Error Code: 403 Forbidden. The server denied the specified Uniform Resource Locator (URL). Contact the server administrator. (12202)
The same attachment link is working fine in intranet. Are there any steps to be done for file manager?

Extensibility Pack 3.6 for Agile PLM for Process 6.1.1.1 is now available

Extensibility Pack 3.6 for Agile PLM for Process 6.1.1.1 is now on Oracle Software Delivery Cloud
We are pleased to announce the General Availability of Agile PLM for Process Extensibility Pack 3.6 as of October 30th, 2013.
Extensibility Pack 3.6 provides two new technical enablement features:
Email Extensibility
Customizing the content of workflow emails in GSM and SCRM without custom code is now easier with the addition of a new set of placeholder variables, conditional variables, and other capabilities. These variables are available by deploying a new set of plugins, which can be configured through the CustomPluginExtensions.xml file.
Some examples of the new functionality include:
Displaying new data in the emails, such as the workflow Comment, Cross Reference numbers, Category/Sub-category/Group, a trade specification’s GTIN, a material specification’s Ingredient Statement, etc.
Providing meaningful related specification information in Signature Document emails.
Conditionally displaying data, such as only including a material specification’s classification if it is an Approved status.
User Interface Extensibility
Clients wishing to customize specific User Interface behavior, such as marking certain fields as read only, or applying formatting to show required fields, will be able to do this using the User Interface Extensions feature. Clients can write simple Javascript code which then gets pulled into the desired user interface pages. The Javascript code can leverage useful new Javascript variables and functions that make it easier to perform user interface manipulation, as well as access specific data from the given item (e.g., the specification’s status, the user’s groups, etc).
Watch the introductory video on the User Collaboration site for a high level overview.
More information on these new features can be found in the Extensibility Guide, along with detailed technical documentation.

Hello dirk and Kyle203,
I have PCI 8532 devicenet card in my system, the test unit has devicent implemented in it,
to verify devicenet is working or not we check whether we can read Devicenet vendor id, I have downoaded the latest driver NI-IndComDNET2.1-Beta1.
Thanks for the new update. I developed a VI which is very similar to GetIdentityAttrs VI which is in Example.
Port opens fine, but I cannot see connection being established.I always get the error Error -1074388991 occurred at Get DeviceNet Attribute.vi
I know connections are proper and the Device MAC ID and speed too. Pls throw some light.'
Attached is the VI and error image
Thanks

How to start the file server for Agile PLM

when i try to add one attachment for an Item, i got the following error message:
The preferred file server http://agileserver:8080/Filemgr/AttachmentServlet for user : xxx is down
how to startup the file mgr?

Hi is this looks like a question for Agile A9.
For Agile A9 or Primavera questions, you can use Oracle Support, Support Communities, Yahoo Groups for Agile API or WRAU.
This forum is for Agile PLM for Process, which is part of the same Agile family but a different product.
Thanks.

Agile PLM - how to archive attachments

This might be the wrong forum - but I am utterly frustrated after paging through Oracle's support documentation, and waiting for nearly a month for a reply from the support organization.
We've been using Agile for over five years now - currently we're running Agile PLM, version 9.2.1.4.
My current problem is the attachment store. Specifically we have no means to archive the files there.
This is a huge problem: analysis indicates that a majority of the files we currently have there were written once and never looked at again. Many are not looked at after a few weeks. We've got years and years of data that no one will ever want to view - but we can't just get rid of it due to regulatory restrictions.
So what I've got is this huge fat store of useless bits that I can't delete, that I seem to have no way to move to lower cost storage or run to tape. It just sits there, forever, eating money for power and disk space and causing headaches.
The mantra 'disk is cheap' is true when one is shopping at Best Buy for a new hard drive. It is NOT true when you have networked attached storage and terabytes of data and it never stops growing.
How are we supposed to archive data in Agile PLM? We've got the people smarts to implement a solution, what we seemingly lack is any concern on Oracle's part for ongoing costs associated with Agile PLM deployment. Give us a guide, something, anything, that will allow us to archive these files before my NAS explodes.

Hello,
Attachments to your business transaction will not be archived when you archive your business document.
First you have to figure out where is your attachment stored?
If it is stored in SAP Table then you can think of relocation / migration of attachments to your external content server.
If attachment is already stored in external content server then nothing to worry about these documents. Users can display Physical attachments even after you archive business document from respective archiving object.
Hope this will answer your question.
-Thanks,
Ajay
