API/Interface for Blanket PO Release

Hi All,
Do we have any interface or api for Blanket PO release? We searched, couldn't find anything.
Is there any workaround? we are in the process of automation. Its very urgent.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
As a specific solution you may use the following packages/function in R11i :
•     PO_RELEASES_SV4.get_release_num, to get the last release number,
•     PO_LINE_LOCATIONS_PKG_S3.get_max_shipment_num, to get the last shipment_num of a release,
•     PO_RELEASES_PKG_S0.Insert_Row to create a release,
•     PO_LINE_LOCATIONS_PKG_s0.Insert_Row to create a shipment line
Beware, these packages are not public, so they may potentially be updated through a patch / upgrade.
As previously said by Sandeep Gandhi, the best solution is to use requisitions, but you need to manage the corresponding setup.

Xavier

API/Interface for receiving an RMA return line

Hello,
Is there API or an interface available in 11.5.10 that will allow a return line/RMA to be received? The documentation for the receiving interface says that returns or receiving against RMAs is not supported.
Thanks,
Gary

Could you please provide more information, on how exactly you were to do this.
I mean the interface tables you used and the name of the interface program that was run.

Redundancy Interface for Content Server Release 6.x

Third-generation Content Server is UCS C220 (Not Vmware).
I see from TCS Release 6.x Quick Start which cannot use LAN2.
I'm not sure. How to connect LAN for redundancy interface or not because it have many NIC card.
Dual 1-Gb Ethernet ports:
LAN1 (Arrow 7, left pointer)— Use this port to connect the Content Server to the network (also see Figure 3)
LAN2 (Arrow 7, right pointer)— Not used

Hi,
The TCS server supports only single NIC in a deployment. That particular NIC value is used to generate the checksum, which needs to be passed along with the Release keys to bring up the content engine. That is the reason if you connect any other NIC to the network, the content engine will not start.
Also, when the release keys are generated on the license server, it uses the NIC with the lowest value (always the first NIC on the server).
I know its a complete waste to have so many NICs and use only one. But what can I say, thats the way Cisco designed the server..!!!

HRMS database Interface for Timecard Data

I am new to working with the Oracle Apps database. I need to setup an interface to send time card data from a third party app into the HRMS system. The data I have consists of an Employee Identifier (Can be set to match the HRMS employee identifier), Payroll Cycle Date, Hours Classification (Regular, Overtime, Double Time, etc), and the number of hours for that classification.
What would be the best method/API for accomplishing this? I am aware of Data Pump, BEE, and direct API calls as ways to do this, but am unsure about which one is best/easiest to use. For APIs, which one would be best for me to use?
Thank you in advance for any information / ideas that you have.

Thanks for your help so far...I have two more questions for you
Where can I find/download HRMS Family Pack K?
Does the BEE Interface have API's that can feed it? And if so, is there any examples of using that API interface for me to look at? Also, is there documentation available that can help me use that API?
Sorry for asking so many simple questions...And thank you very much for your assistance!

API or interface table to create releases for a blanket purchase agreement

Hi
I need to know if Oracle provides a standard API or interface table to create releases for a blanket purchase agreement.
I tried using the release_num field in PO_HEADERS_INTERFACE, PO_LINES_INTERFACE. But this is not working.
I'm able to create the blanket purchase agreement using the open interfaces, but not the releases.
Regards,
Alister

Hi Alister,
You can't create a release of a BPA through API, there is no such APIs provided by oracle.
Where as you can create a BPA by using API. You need to dump/poplulate data in PO_headers_interface & PO_Lines_intreface table.. Then use Purchasing Documents Open Interface API to create a BPA.

Assigning multiple interfaces for Oracle API Gateway (OAG)

We are deploying Oracle API Gateway to throttle our incoming API requests. We would like to keep the incoming external API requests separate from the internal configuration management so that they go through different interfaces when accessing the OAG server. This is mainly for security reasons so that the external people won’t have access to the interface used by internal operations team to manage OAG. Based on your experience, is there any standard best practice to accomplish this? We were thinking to perhaps use two of the server’s network interfaces with different IPs, one for the incoming API requests and the other for the internal admin management of OAG. But not sure if this is the best way to do what we need. We are aware of OAG's capability to support two separate ports to handle this situation, but would like a more secure set-up that could completely eliminate external access to the OAG management done by the IT team.
Would appreciate any thoughts on best practices used regarding multiple interfaces for OAG set-up. Thank you. Oracle Marketing Cloud.

You are on the right track.
Here is how you can achieve this:
You can use multiple network interfaces on the UNIX machine and setup networking/routing in such a way that all external traffic comes on on one card and is routed internally via a different card.
Segregate difference types of services (i.e to be used by external clients vs internal apps) into difference different "Service Groups". Have each of these service groups listen on different port + NIC card (under Listeners, you can define a port to list to list on a specific network address and port instead of *).
Setup additional protection for services that will be accessed by external clients. Use "Threatening Content " filter to protect your services.
Setup 2 way SSL for the interface that will be called by external clients. Setup a DN based authorization check if you want to have both authentication and authorization.
Hope this helps.
-Thanks,
Ankit Kumar

API for Stop and Release Check in R12

Dear All:
Just want to know if we have any API available for the below process for 'Check' Payment method in AP.
1. 'Initiate Stop'
2. 'Release Stop'
3. 'Void'
I am currently on R12.1.3. I checked in Oracle support site but could not find anything relevant. Appreciate any quick pointer.
Thanks
Edited by: 937113 on May 28, 2012 4:53 AM

Hello,
Thanks for your reply.
Actually we are using the bug of this BADI when function module MRMBADI_RELEASE_CHECK is being call and the passing value between 2 internal table (te_rbkp_blocked = t_rbkp_blocked) cause the calculation of payment due date is not using release date but using the original baseline date in the invoice. Since there is no implementation of BADI MRM_RELEASE_CHECK and cause the system can not get the instance of this BADI in ECC6 then the payment due date is change and the calculate the release date with payment term (an extra days between release date and baseline date).
We are using functionality of method BlockedPriceDeleteUpdate in object BUS2081, which in this method is calling function module MRM_BLOCKEDPRICE_DELETE_UPDATE. Through this function module, function module MRMBADI_RELEASE_CHECK is being called. So I think we can not use the recommended BADI.
Is there any note that create the implementation of this BADI? or other note that related to anyhow that change the calculation of payment due date using baseline date instead of using release date by disable function module MRM_OFFSET_BASELINE_DATE like the option of check field SKTO in transaction MRBR?
Thanks & Regards,

Unable to create releases for Blanket PO in iProcurement -Urgent

Hi All,
Please clarify if we can create releases for a Blanket PO in iProcurement. If it is possible, one my customer has created a Blanket PO and it is with approved status, but not able to find the Blanket PO in iProcurement search window for creating the releases.
If it is not possible to create releases from iProcurement, please suggest the procedure to create the releases. And also please let me know when can we query the blanket PO to find in iProcurement?
Please share some important links on iProcurement if any.
Regards
Ram

Is your Blanket Agreement approved and its terms dates current? If the BPA has expired or future dated, it will not show up in the item details on the search in iProcurement. It is very much possible to generate not only releases, but also carry them all the way to their approval. You need to define a BPA. Then create an Approved Supplier List, Sourcing Rules and Assign them to the default assignment set.
Subsequently when the user selects an item referencing that BPA in the iProcurment and creates a requisition, the release will automatically get generated if you define the Release Method on the ASL to 'Automatic Release'. The only condition is that the Buyer on the BPA needs to have sufficient approval authority to approve the release generate out of the requisition.
Hope this helps.
Kind Regards

Check the Responsibility Integrated SOA Gateway to see all the APIs under OTL.

Where can I find the Java API doc for the OES PEP interfaces (OpenAZ API).

In the PepApiExample downlouded from Oracle web site at [PepApiExample |http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/id-mgmt/downloads/pepapiexample-1588440.zip], there are some Java API interfaces related OpenAZ API, but there is no the whole API docs, where I can get it?
Thanks.

There should be a file called javadocs.jar in your portal installation directory. Either under SUNWps/sdk or SUNWps/export.

Update PO Header Description field for Blanket Purchase Agreement

Hi all,
I am trying to update description field for Blanket Purchase Agreement using Import price catalog.
Open interface runs successfully and not getting any errors but, the description field is not getting updated.
Is it possible to update BPA using Import Price Catlaog. If not is there any API for this?
Thank you,
Prashanth

If you are having trouble with API, you can update DFF directly. Typically, it is a little/no risk update.
Just make sure that the new DFF value satisfies the value set attached to the DFF / DFF context.

Making BDBG Easy (Generate ALE Interface for BAPI)

Making BDBG Easy
Transaction BDBG is used to generate an ALE interface for SAP standard or custom developed BAPIs. Once a BAPI is given an ALE interface, it can be used in LSMW for migrating data or just as another IDoc. Quite a few SAP standard BAPIs cannot be used in LSMW as they do not come with an ALE interface. OSS note Documentation on Transaction BDBG (note number 125776) details the necessary steps to use transaction BDBG but it does not comprehensively cover the technical issues that one may encounter in order to create an ALE interface.
BAPI_ACTIVITYCRM_CREATEMULTI, which is used to create Activities in CRM, will be used to illustrate a step-by-step approach to using transaction BDBG.
Go to Object Navigator (transaction SE80) and create a bespoke function group, we will call ours Z_CRM_ACTIVITY. Activate it.
Then go to Function Builder (transaction SE37), and copy the BAPI to a bespoke function module. Thus, BAPI_ACTIVITYCRM_CREATEMULTI is copied to Z_BAPI_ACTIVITYCRM_CREATEMULTI and assigned to the function group that we created in the previous step Z_CRM_ACTIVITY. Edit the bespoke function module, go to the Attributes tab, and release the function module (Menu Path Function Module >> Release >> Release). Now activate the function module.
IDoc segment types have a maximum length of 27 characters. Each associated type for the Parameters (tabs Import, Export, Changing, and Tables) in a BAPI becomes a segment in the IDoc. Thus, an associated type in a BAPI cannot exceed 27 characters. During the ALE generation process anything beyond the 27th character gets truncated. This leads to more than 1 segment being called the same, and as a result an error occurs when the ALE interface is generated in the final step as an IDoc cannot have the same segment twice.
Eg: Table parameters DATE and DATEX correspond to types BAPIBUS20001_APPOINTMENT_INS (28 characters long) and BAPIBUS20001_APPOINTMENT_INSX (29 characters) respectively.
Also, a developer does not have the option to reduce the segment name during the ALE generation process. So in order to have an error free ALE generation happening in the end, bespoke associated types need to be created and assigned to our bespoke BAPI.
Go to ABAP Dictionary (transaction SE11), and create ZXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX data types for the structures in the BAPI that are greater than 27 characters. Activate all these bespoke structures.
Bespoke structures ZBAPIBUS20001_APP_INS and ZBAPIBUS20001_APP_INSX can be used in lieu of the standard SAP ones for parameters DATE and DATEX. The same correction method needs to take place for other excessively long types, like the types being referenced by LOCATION and LOCATIONX.
Go to Business Object Builder (transaction SWO1). A search for Activity as the short description produces a few hits. After examining all the objects returned in the hit, we see that BAPI_ACTIVITYCRM_CREATEMULTI belongs to 2 Business Objects - BUS2000110 (CRM Activity) and BUS2000126 (CRM Business Activity).
Copy either of these objects to a bespoke object ZXXXXXXXXX, we will copy BUS2000110 and rename it to ZBUS200010, program RBUS2000110 should also be copied to a Z version (ZRBUS2000110), and the object name can be changed to Company Name (eg: XXX) followed by ActivityCRM (XXXActivityCRM).
Now we edit our bespoke object, and create a method for it by placing the mouse cursor on methods in the object type tree and clicking the create button on the menu bar.
A pop-up appears on the screen with the following text
Create with function module
as template? 
After clicking on Yes, another pop-up asks for a function module to be entered, enter the bespoke function module Z_BAPI_ACTIVITYCRM_CREATEMULTI here and click the tick button.
Accept all the default values in the next pop-up Create Method: Method Properties, and do the same for the next pop-up Create Method: Create Parameters. In the next pop-up click Yes to the question
Method ZBAPIACTIVITYCRMCREATEMULTI not
yet implemented
Do you want to generate a template
automatically for the missing section?
Double-click on the newly created method and go to the ABAP tab, the Function Module option will be selected as the default, make the API function as the default and click OK. Generate the business object.
Now, click on the method of the object and release the method (Menu Path Edit >> Change Release Status >> Object Type Component >> To Released). Double-click on the method to confirm that the Status is released.
Save all the changes made, and Back out of the Edit mode and go the main Business Object Builder screen. Re-generate the business object. First implement, then release the main object ZBUS200010 (Menu Path Object Type >> Change Release Status To >> Implemented, then follow the same menu path and click on Released).
Go to the BAPI Explorer (transaction BAPI), click on the filter icon on the menu bar, and select radiobutton All. Click on the alphabetical tab. Look for XXXActivityCRM in the list. Release status should be Released for this object.
Now we should be able to generate the ALE interface for the BAPI. Execute transaction BDBG, enter the bespoke object (ZBUS200010), do a drop down on the method field and select the bespoke method from the list. Click on the create button on the menu bar. In the first pop-up accept Message Type ZBAPIACTIVITYCRM and click OK. In the next pop-up the following values should be there by default
IDoc type ZBAPIACTIVITYCRM01,
ALE Outbound Processing
Function Module ZZ_ALE_ACTIVITYCRM_CREATEMULTI,
Function Group Z_CRM_ACTIVITY, and
ALE Inbound Processing
Function Module ZIDOC_INPUT_ZBAPIACTIVITYCRM,
Function Group Z_CRM_ACTIVITY.
The option Call in update task should be ticked.
Now our BAPI has an ALE Interface to it and can be used in conjunction with either the BAPI or IDoc option in LSMW. The default values for an IDoc Inbound Processing should be maintained in order to use the bespoke BAPI / IDoc.

Stable API's for GRC 2010 - simulation function needed

Dear gurus,
I have an ABAP application I want to integrate with GRC 2010 (on the ABAP stack). I understand this is ramp-up and not all API's are available yet, but need one which is pretty basic so was hoping it would exist with documentation and is released.
My intention:
1) The user with various authorizations already exists.
2) My application wants to generate an additional role for the user because they are missing some auths during testing of the roles.
3) Each authorization generated should call the GRC API to simulate whether this would cause an SOD for the user.
4) I will generate and assign anyway, but export those authorizations for which SOD warning messages were raised.
5) Messages are logged for rework / mitigation, but the role build and test can continue.
Is there any documented API with a stable interface for a function which returns messages based information for SOD's which can be reacted to for an existing user and all their ABAP authorization object based auths AND a simulation of whether authorization data sent to it would produce an SOD.
Plan B would be to generate the role and simulate the assignment and return messages of which auths in the role caused the SOD.
I would expect that GRC is open minded enough to release such APIs to the ruleset , but if I am mistaken then "show stopper" answers are also appreciated as being a lesser evil...
Cheers,
Julius

Thanks Supreet,
I know that GRC can do an SOD check and also simulation of an SOD check "as if" the user had an additional role (which you want to assign but know in advance whether that will cause an SOD conflict). In it's previous life on the ABAP stack it was known as "Risk Rerminator". I am aware of the "old" /VIRSA/ function modules and the coding technique they used.... but have some doubts that GRC 2010 still uses those nor the same approach, which is why I am looking for a stable API.
My application makes the assumption that GRC is already installed and wants to generate a role for a user based on a test case they are executing. In my UI where the trace data is being analyzed, I want to add some intuitive highlighting and warnings for SOD conflicts which would happen if the role were generated and assigned.
At this ponit in time, the role does not actually exist yet so ideally I would want to send the API the authorization data and not just the role name. I could however for simplicity sake generate the role anyway but need at least the API to tell me which authorizations in the role are causing the SoD conflict with the user's already existing authorizations.
I am very much hoping to find something like a BAPI_GRC_SIMULATE_SOD which is documented and stable and offers an import parameter with a structure something like this for the authorization data:
OBJECT                         CHARACTER       10
LFDNR                          NUMC            3
FIELD                          CHARACTER       10
LOW                            CHARACTER       40
HIGH                           CHARACTER       40
MODIFIER                       CHARACTER       12
MODDATE                        DATE
MODTIME                        TIME
... together with the user name of course, and then returns SOD warnings per OBJECT and LFDNR (which is just a sequencial number for the authorization instance).
Of course it only works if GRC is installed....
Cheers,
Julius
