API for uploading flexfield value

We have a fresh installation of Oracle EBS and start to do the setup.
I would like to know if Oracle has API for uploading flexfield values since we have hundred thousand values that we need to setup in a flexfield. Instead we use 3rd party sofware e.g : Dataloader we're considering if we make a custom program for uploading them.
I appreciate your help.

@Srini Chavali
this flexfield is for Accounting Flexfield.
@Pillair
is this FND_FLEX_VALUES_PKG.LOAD_ROW can be used for Accounting Flexfield also ?
Thanks

can any one help me with the solution as soon as possible.

have you implemented api's before?
Do not specify parameters you do not need. Name qualify your parameters. Do not initialize parameters with null, since they are already null by default.
And why not enter them manually? Or dataload? Or configuration Workbench?

Api for uploading folio to Folio Producer

Hi There
I am looking into whether i is possible to create a folio file and upload it to the Folio Producer without using InDesign.
1) Are there an api available for uploading folios to the Folio Producer?
- Either through a web interface or by scripting InDesign?
2) Is there any documentation available for the folio format,
If neither of theese is availble currently, are there any plans in this direction in the future?

They aren't currently available. We hope to due this in the future for integration by editorial workflow systems providers and advertising portals.

APIs for Country lookup values and Timezone lookup values

Hi,
We are developing a J2EE application for remote user management in EP.
We want to query the lookup values for country and timezone (required when we create user). Are there any APIs that would return these values when called from our J2EE application?
Also let me know if there are any workarounds?
Thanks and regards,
Pratik H. Thakkar

Hi Guys,
By using Java API, I got 239 countries on Windows 2K professional. Whereas in EP there are 233 countries. Also the names are not matching for eg: American Samao is missing in my local machine.
Please help.

HR API User Hooks - Can I use to change a value in the table the API for?

I am trying to initialize a descriptive flexfield on per_all_people_f. I originally tried doing the initialization using a “before row insert” database trigger directly on the table per_all_people_f. Seems to work great in the People form (PERWSHRG), but does not seem to work consistently when a new employee is entered through a template like Enter Employees (PERWSQHM).
Does anyone know if you can use an API User Hook to initialize a value on one o the tables the API is inserting? For example, could I put a "Before Process" user hook on the "Create_ Employee" API to change the value of a descriptive flexfield?
Any other good ideas?
Currently I have a concurrent request that runs once every 30 minutes to default the descriptive flexfield. The delay is causing issues.

In such cases you should write the code to default the values in the front end PUIs. As one person pointed out, User hooks are provided either to validate the already entered values, or to insert/update data in some custom tables but not for updating values in the same table where data is being inserted/updated.
BTW for your information:-
Person form (People Enter and Maintain) does not use APIs so anything written inside the user hook would be ignored by the application when this form is used. (The reason is this is one of the oldest form in HRMS, was created even before the concept of user hook came).
Template form PERWSQHM uses APIs, so user hook is called when this form is used to create/update the data.
Hope this is useful.

Not much clear what you are ultimately trying to achieve. On HR you may find some %util% packages that help you validate against a lookup, even considering the language of the environment. I guess it was hr_pump_utils.It has validations against lookup tables as well as other entities, bye giving the user value and returning the code or id if found.
If not, you can create your own, passing the lookup type, the description, and optionally the language and use that to query the lookups table and validate the info received.

After the user has finished entering the expense lines and after the user has reviewed the default expense allocation values in the expense allocation page, upon clicking on the next button , this error message is shown.
Has anybody experienced this issue?
We have opened a Service Request with Oracle but so far there is no resolution. This issue occurs intermittently. It is NOT consistent. We have advised the user base with the following workarounds to over this bug:
1. The system administrator shall clear the cache using Functional Administrator responsonsibility
OR
2. Advise the application user to sign-off from Oracle Applications and allow 5 minutes before they sign-in again.
Any help or advise in the matter is appreciated.

Best approach for uploading document using custom web part-Client OM or REST API

Hi,
Am using my custom upload Visual web part for uploading documents in my document library with a lot of metadata.
This columns contain single line of text, dropdownlist, lookup columns and managed metadata columns[taxonomy] also.
so, would like to know which is the best approach for uploading.
curretnly I am trying to use the traditional SSOM, server oject model.Would like to know which is the best approach for uploading files into doclibs.
I am having hundreds of sub sites with 30+ doc libs within those sub sites. Currently its taking few minutes to upload the files in my dev env. am just wondering, what would happen if the no of subsites reaches hundred!
am looking from the performance perspective.
my thought process is :
1) Implement Client OM
2) REST API
Has anyone tried these approaches before, and which approach provides better performance.
if anyone has sample source code or links, pls provide the same
and if there any restrictions on the size of the file uploaded?
any suggestions are appreciated!

Wrong period values in Text template for upload of Plan data (KP06/KEPM)

Hi,
We are facing an issue in the upload template in text format for Upload of Cost Centre Planning data (Transaction KP06) in ECC 6.0.
We have some User defined layouts for Excel upload of plan data. If we save the file as a text (tab delimited) file, the Period values above the Column"Period" do not correspond to the correct periods in ECC 6.0. for e.g. the values above Period 1, Period 2, Period 3 are shown as 6, 5, 4 instead of the correct values 1,2,3. These values are considered by the system for uploading the Planning value in the appropriate Periods and hence the values entered in the Column Period 1 in the text file are incorrectly uploaded by the system in Period 6 based on the values generated by the system in the text file.
However, we do not encounter this issue in the 4.6C system where the values are correctly shown.
We are facing a similar issue with the text upload template for Sales Planning data in CO-PA (Transaction KEPM), where the values generated by the system do not correspond to the correct period.

Rajaram

Hi Christian,
Thanks for the quick reply, i followed your earlier reply in the below thread and resolved the issue. Thanks.

Transfer OTL to Payroll is not working for Custom Field Values

Hi,
We have Extended the Payroll and Project layout in OTL to include custom fields.
Now linked the fields to Element entries input values.
The issue happens when a retro batch is processed and transfered to Payroll the input values are not getting pulled properly.
i.e. The retro batch creates a positive value for the new retro entry and a Counter negative value for the old record.
Only in the case of Negative value, the issue is happening. For the positive value it is pulling the record properly from the custom fields.
Can you please let me know, how to debug the same.
Also this issue happens randomly not all the employees are facing this issue.
Thanks,
Raja Rajan

Hi Rsn,
just check the put this code in
1st way--
jjust import the api in your custom Action class
import com.sap.isa.core.logging.IsaLocation;
private final static IsaLocation log = IsaLocation.getInstance(ZcustomeAction.class.getName());
then
log.error("value"+value);
in this way you can debug the code...if not possible thenn...
you can write...
System.err.println("value"+value);
you can also try to this way..i think it will work now
Thanks
