Approval Decision Report

Hi All,
On version 9 PL 07, we have created an approval stage with two users (authorizers) but only 1 no. of approval required.
As soon as a document is sent for approval, in the approval decision report, the users are getting two lines items (I think 1 for each authorizer). But even after the document is approved by one of the authorizer, the document still shows as pending for other user.
Has any one faced this issue and know a solution for this one or is this a limitation?
Let me know!!
Thanks,
Joseph

Hi,
Yes, this is standard system design.

Approval Decision Report Error

Hello to all,
I have a problem regarding the approval decision report functionality in SBO.
I have set-up an approval template with 4 originators (say, persons A, B, C and D) and one approving manager. The approval check is applied to A/P Invoices and A/P Credit Memos and the approval terms is set to launch as 'Always'.
Say person A and B create A/P Invoices. When I run the Approval Decision Report, check all the three decision types:
[/] No Decision Yet
[/] Document Production Approved
[/] Document Production Not Approved
And indicate person A as Originator From and To, the report shows the documents created by Person A.
However, when I do the same for Person B, the report does not show the documents created by Person B.
I receive the error message:
No matching records found 'Drafts' (ODRF) (ODBC -2028) [Message 131-183]
However, I check for documents unapproved created by Person B through a query and I see that they exist in ODRF.
SELECT DocEntry, DocStatus, WddStatus from ODRF
where UserSign =
Select USERID from OUSR
WHERE USER_CODE = 'Person A'
Am I missing something here?

Hi Gordon,
Thanks for replying.
I am sorry (query should be = 'Person B').
When I execute the following query, I confirm that person B has existing documents to be approved.
SELECT DocEntry, DocStatus, WddStatus from ODRF
where UserSign =
Select USERID from OUSR
WHERE USER_CODE = 'Person B'
But when I run Approval Decision Report and put Person B in the originator, the error occurs.
In summary, the Approval Decision Report can see Person A's documents but not Person B's documents.

Approval Status Report, SBO v2007, current data or cumulative?

I run the Approval Status Report while logged in as a superuser, selecting
Document Status: 'Pending',
no limits set in the To/From middle section,
all document types ticked,
and I get a list of document numbers.
I immediately re-run the Approval Status Report while logged in as a superuser, selecting
Document Status: 'Generated',
no limits set in the To/From middle section,
all document types ticked,
and I get a list of document numbers that includes some of the 'Pending' status ones from the first run.
How can the document be in both 'Pending' and 'Generated' status at the same time? Is this report supposed to show me the current status of documents, or all accumulated approval action taken on documents?

Hi Cindy,
Document number in approval is not unique. Same number may refer to more than one document. All draft documents will only be assigned a unique marketing document number until approved and created.
That is probably you can see the same number in the 2 reports
Thanks,
Gordon

Can We Display a Tabular Format in the Decision Report?

Hello,
One of my current OPA integrations is replacing an Excel-based application that calculates entity values across rows and columns. In the OPA version, the rows are separated into screens, and the columns - the results - are displayed in a decision report that shows a single value per line, and is not vertically aligned. This makes the results much more difficult to view "at a glance" compared to the legacy solution. I'm wondering if there's any way to incorporate tabular formatting (mainly vertical alignment) within the decision report - does anyone know?
Thanks!
- Patrick

With version 10.3 and the BI publisher integration you can design virtually any format for the decisions you wish. When using BI publisher, a completely customized decision report is quite easy. See the OPM help topic "BI Publisher code for Oracle Policy Modeling" and/or the example that ships with 10.3 for more info. If using the web service to make determinations, you could also post process the XML for the decision report (i.e. using XSLT or code) to produce a table in XML or HTML. Customizing the "default" decision report into a tabular view would probably prove more difficult than the other options.

What is the correct architecture for retrieving several complex decision reports

The project that I am currently working on is required to save decision reports for several complex outputs. These outputs are needed for each person entity contained in the request. All of the person entities are joined via relationships and the more people that are sent in the request, the more complex the decision reports become.
We are using the determinations server and it is called as a web service.
The determinations server starts having performance issues when the requests contain 6 people entities and times out when the number of people get to around 10.
Checking the response size for a 10 person request with the complex decision reports yields a response size of around 40mb.
What is the correct architecture to still have the traceability of what happened by having a copy of the decision report for each run without impacting system performance?

Has anyone else encountered this issue?

Displaying only relevant base level attributes in the decision report

Hi,
I am running OPA 10.2 determinations server on weblogic. The service I am using is Assess. The following is a node within my decision report:
<ns0:attribute-node id="dn:88" entity-id="global" instance-id="global" hypothetical-instance="false" attribute-id="b2@Rules_ExternalCalls_EXCommon_doc" type="boolean" text="The information for making motor voter calls have been collected." inferred="true" start-relevance="" end-relevance="">
<ns0:boolean-val>true</ns0:boolean-val>
<ns0:attribute-node id="dn:89" entity-id="global" instance-id="global" hypothetical-instance="false" attribute-id="q_Register_To_Vote" type="boolean" text="The applicant does not want to register to vote." inferred="false" start-relevance="" end-relevance="">
<ns0:boolean-val>false</ns0:boolean-val>
</ns0:attribute-node>
<ns0:attribute-node id="dn:90" entity-id="global" instance-id="global" hypothetical-instance="false" attribute-id="Political_Party" type="text" text="The applicant's political party is unknown." inferred="false" start-relevance="" end-relevance="">
<ns0:unknown-val/>
</ns0:attribute-node>
<ns0:already-proven-node id="dn:13"/>
</ns0:attribute-node>
As can be seen, although the goal has evaluated to "true" since "q_Register_To_Vote" is false, it is still showing "Political_Party" is unknown. However when I debug in OPM without screens setting "relevant only" to true and provide false to " q_Register_To_Vote", "Political_Party" is hidden from the resulting tree/decision report. How can this behavior be simulated in the determinations server's assess service's decision report?
Thanks
Sam

The reason that political_party shows up in the decision report is because it is actually relevant. For more information on relevance in decision reports see http://docs.oracle.com/html/E24270_01/Content/Decision%20reports/Hide_an_attribute_from_decision_report.htm.
You can suppress attributes in a decision report by using the Silent and/ or Invisible operators. For more information on that see http://docs.oracle.com/html/E24270_01/Content/Reference/Definition_of_relevant_in_decision_reports.htm.

How can I add a variable that will always be relevant to a decision report?

I would like to add assessment date and assessment notes to a decision report, such that these two variables are always displayed (always relevant), regardless of whether the overall conclusion is true or false. What would be the best way to do this?
Thanks,

Is there a reason why the assessment date and notes are part of the eligibility rule? Looks like the assessment date and notes are just two bits of information to be collected, but which aren't really part of the eligibility determination?
Normal practice is to keep the eligibilty rule 'pure', i.e. just containing the eligibility logic, and to separate out other attributes which may need to be collected, but which are not really eligibility criteria. For example:
the Immediate Needs Assessment is complete if
the Immediate Needs Assessment Date is known and
the Immediate Needs Assessment Notes is known and
it is known whether or not the person has an immediate need for assistance
or if you just need to know the assessment date or the notes:
the Immediate Needs Assessment is complete if
either
...the Immediate Needs Assessment Date is known or
...the Immediate Needs Assessment Notes is known
and
it is known whether or not the person has an immediate need for assistance
As long as the interview has been completed (regardless of whether or not the person is eligible), the decision report for "the Immediate Needs Assessment is complete" will show the assessment date/notes, and then the logic tree for the main eligibility rule.

Jasmine

Controlling approval status report cancel option

Is it possible to control the approval status report screen based on Stored Procedure?
Im having problem with users cancelling their draft documents before any approval status is decided upon the draft. Through the images below i want to control the cancel option they have
can the update button be controlled through store procedure? as I cant get the object type of this screen.
thanks in advance

Decision Report from siebel-determinations-server missing name substitution

In the debugger decision report, I get the name substitution - ie "Bubba Gump is eligible".
But in the decision report that gets saved in Siebel, I am getting "the person is eligible"
the inbound XML also shows "the person"
What do I need to be doing to get the name substitution in the decision report saved in Siebel?
Running OPA 10.4.1
Thanks,
Allan

Hi Frank,
Well, I went back to pull the rules for the name subsitution, and saw that I had a concatenation issue where if the middle name was unknown, the rules I wrote weren't working. This is because Siebel brings it up as uncertain.
Once I changed the rules to check for uncertainty, the substitution text (the person's name) worked as expected in the decision report.
Thanks, we can consider this closed.
Cheers,
Allan

How to remove the entity instances from a decision report

Please see below the rules and the resulting decision report
How can I remove, from the decision report, the four lines that say "the persons in the family unit", instance 1, instance 2, instance 3?
I just can't seem to find a place where the use of silent or invisible will cause the four lines not to appear
The Rules
the applicants for income assistance in a family unit have completed (and submitted) to the minister an application for income assistance (part1) form if
forall(the persons in the family unit, the person satisfies the requirements to complete and submit an application for assistance (part 1) form)
the person satisfies the requirements to complete and submit an application for assistance (part 1) form if
all
the person is an applicant
s4.1(2)(a)(i) the person has provided a social insurance number

Here are some further details. If images could be attached to this forum then I would have included some screenshots, but this forum only allows text.
1. Set up regular name substitution (See the sections "Set up substitution" and "Substitute the actual value of a variable for its text" in the OPM Help article "Change the text of an interview question or sentence").
2. In the Properties file, double-click on the entity. This will open the Edit Entity dialog.
3. In the Edit Entity dialog, fill in the Identifier field with the variable you're using for the regular name substitution.
4. Click OK and you're done!
Cheers,

Object Id on the Decision Report List applet does not display the Object Id

The Object Id field of the Decision Report List Applet displays either the entity name of the entity name - Id. We wouldlike to dispay the siebel row Id's in that field respectivey for the parent or the child or grandchild entities.Please help with h to go about it.
If the base entity is declared as global in OPM, then global gets displayed in the Object id. If a siebel entity is declared as an entity in OPM then entityname - Id gets displayed.
Thanks !!

Unfortunately the decision report comes from deep with the engine and there is not much you can do to change it.
However, the Decision report is XML which is then modified by an XSLT for display in Siebel. You could have a look at the style sheet and the original XML and see if there is a way for displaying the XML that might be more suitable for your purpose.
The xslt is decision_report.xslt and can be found in the siebsrvr\XSLT directory.
Cheers

Modifying Approval Maintenance Report

Hello,
We have a requirement to add an extra field in the Approval Maintenance Report. Can you please guide us how to proceed with the same. From where we can get the code of this standard report. Is it possible to chnage the original code of the report.
Any suggestion will be of great help.
Regards
Deb

Hi Kalyan,
Though you have added a new column to the Field Catalog, it MIGHT not get displayed on the output. This is because, it would be in the hidden mode. Try this. Click on the Layout, add this new field and save the layout. You should be able to see your new column now.
But dont forget to do the same in Quality and Production systems.
Hope this clarifies your problem
Enjoy SAP.

Attribute Texts in Decision Report

Hi OPA Experts,
We have multiple test forms in our project which have same/similar field. Eg. the field "Common" is spread across multiple test forms. So, during our build we had to make each attribute text unique by prefixing them with the test form name, since system does not allow duplicate attribute text. Now, when we look at the Decision Report, we see <Test Form Name>_Common instead of the screen display text.
Is there a way to overcome this issue, or is there any work-around?
If multiple attributes exist across different properties, with the same text, Build itself fails. And we cannot even Build & Debug nor Build & Run.
Regards,
Suan.

Yes - you can add the attribute to your properties file and then click the Override button to override the text that appears in your decision report. That said, this is not recommended! It will make your decision report very difficult to use for debugging - your attributes have different texts because they have different proofs (otherwise you wouldn't need different attributes) so if you remove the unique part of the attribute text you will find it difficult to know which attribute you are seeing in your decision report.
Think about why you have a decision report - do you use it to understand the operation of the rules or do you show it to your end users? If you are using it to understand your rules I certainly wouldn't be overriding the attribute text (for the reasons above). If you are showing it to an end user, perhaps you could represent the information in another, more succinct way (eg using summary screen labels which show/hide as appropriate or put the information in a generated document). Don't forget you can always just hide attributes in the decision report by setting them to Invisible (hides the attribute itself) or Silent (hides the proof) - to do this, add your attribute to your properties file and select the 'Decision Reports' tab. If you make an attribute Silent or Invisible you can still see it in the debugger, but it won't show to your end users (best of both worlds!).
Hope that helps,
Fiona
