Assignment Date Track History-Changed Field Summary

Hi all,
We have Oracle HR 11.5.7 FP.G.
In the HRMS there is a for the Employee's Assignment Date Track History showing the Changed Field Summary.
We want to specify the exact field(s) changed in Assignment for a period using SQL or Discoverer for Reporting Purposes.
Does anyone have any sample coding or idea on how to perform this?That is to specify exactly what fields changed in an assignment change.
What I can think of is to compare values but I'm not sure how I can get the desired result.
I would appreciate any feedback.
Thanking you in advance
Elena

Elena,
To meet you're requirement: changes per person during a period
- done this before using audit trail, be aware that the reports that comes out standard, does not resemble anything a HR user can read. Quite often it says this ID has change to that ID. Building a reports that changes this into something meaning full for a HR/Payroll person does require a considerable effort.
- using the change event log (system extract) or the retro notification report (payroll) will give you're results in a better format. Problem you may encounter here, is that not all entities are available (by default). You may have to add some dynamic triggers.
- if you want to understand how the datetrack functionality is deriving the data, this paper on metalink may help : Create and Modify DateTrack History Views Note:177734.1

View of Date track history change field summary

Hi experts,
In Oracle HRMS, we have the function "Date Track History" in People/assignment. In the summary window of Date Track history, we have column which is named "Change Field Summary". For reporting purpose, I am looking for the view/function/package/... which can show type of data.
For example:
- If I give certain assignment number/assignment id, view/function can return "Birth Date, Full Name, Known As" in "Change Field Summary".
Thanks in advance.

Hi Vigneswar,
Thanks for reponse.
The view PER_ASSIGNMENT_HISTORY_VIEW shows data changes in columns, it is similiar with HRFV_PERSON_ASSIGNMENT_HISTORY view. However It does not show us which columns were changed like in "Date track history change field summary" window. I don't have access to Unix server, so that I can't do the trace stuff.
Thanks and Regards,
Hieu

Re: View of Date track history change field summary

Hi All,
We also have a similar requirement. Where user like to have a report kind of and pass the employee number/assignmen number to see the change history. They would also like to see the "Change Field Summary".
Does any one know what is the quickest way to achieve this.
Thanks,
Avinash

Hi Avinash,
Unfortunately, there is no easy way of achieving this requirement..The change field summary is being determined dynamically by the form based on data supplied by the underlying view. The procedure 'dth_set_change_list' compares each record in the data set with the preceding one to determine if any column value has changed. The changes are grouped by the date of change, concatenated and then listed. Hope it helps !

When attempting to view the date track history for one employee, errors out

Hi All
When I attempt to view the date track history for one employee, it gives errors.
To get the details, the navigation is :
1. Search for employee xxxxxx
2. click on Assignment button
3. click on Date Track History.
4. Receive error APP-DT-52554.
5. Click OK on error message
6. click on Full History button.
7. Receive error APP-PAY-06153
What could be the problem and how to solve this?
Regards
Rahman

Sounds as if there is an inconsistency with the date tracked records. Can you check the records through TOAD or SQL Plus?
Have alook at MetaLInk article 343070.1 which refers to the second error message.

Date Track history tables in Oracle HRMS & Discoverer

Hello experts,
I will be glad if anyone can help thru. I am trying to develop the DIS report for Audit purpose that tracks all the changes entered by Data Entry clerks, regardless of effective date. Mainly from Person Form and Assignment Form.
Is there anyway I can include the exact date/time the change made/status updated. Is the 'Effective date' clue?
e.g. There is an Assignment Change - from 'Global Operations' organization to 'Domestic Application' organization. The change is suppose to be effective from 05/02/2011 but I am entering the action on 04/18/2011. Similar for past events - if I make date tracked Assignment change suppose to be effective from 04/04/2011.
How can I accommodate this in a report. I just have EUL rights of Discoverer10g. (Oracle R12)
Thanks a lot.

Hello
The effective date is used for date tracking, but not to determine when a change was made. To determine when a change was made you need to look at the date last updated. Bear in mind though that only tables which can be updated have this field. If a table is only used for inserts then you will not find this field.
The effective dates are used to tie records in different tables together. Some tables have just an effective date, some have an effective start and an effective end, while others have a FROM date and a TO date. All of these can be used together to determine the state of play as it was at a certain point in time. The current records can have their effective dates compared to SYSDATE like this:
EFFECTIVE_START_DATE <= SYSDATE and EFFECTIVE_END_DATE >= SYSDATE
Records from one table can be tied to records in another to ensure for example that an assignment is tied correctly back to the right person record. In this case you would need to make sure that the effective date on the assignment is greater than or equal to the effective start date of the PERSON and less than or equal to the effective end date.
Date last updated will be used to determine exactly when a record was updated. Sometimes a date last updated will pre-date an effective date when companies enter records in advance of when they will be active. For example, in payroll where it is very common to enter new salaries many weeks in advance or in your situation where a change is supposed to be effective from 05/02/2011 but is entered on 04/18/2011. In this case the date last updated will say 04/18/2011 and the effective date or effective start date, depending which is in use, will have 05/02.2011. The effective date, effective start date and date from should never change and should always reflect a record's effectiveness, regardless of many times the record gets updated. The effective end and from dates will be updated to a real date a new record is added and sometimes these will be NULL so you have to take that into account too.
Data warehouses will generally load data based on the date last updated so that, for example, all records updated in the last 24 hours can be selected.
Hope this helps

Changing Field Summary

Hi,
I want to change the output of the "Field Summary". I found everything to edit the "Field Details" (FieldWriterImpl.java), but that does not work for the "Field Summary".
Can anybody tell me, where the Summary tables are created?
Thanks a lot.
Edited by: m.fuzzi on Feb 22, 2010 11:02 AM

I finaly found it.
The output for the Return-Type Coloumn is mad in the AbstractMemberWriter Class. The called Method is:
printModifierAndType(ProgramElementDoc member, Type type)
Here you can change the output as you like it.

Transfer Rule Routine: Assign Date Value into Blank Field

Can anyone help me with regards to writing some ABAP code in a transfer rule so that I can assign "99991231" value into a date characteristics if it is blank?
Many thanks for advance.

I would like to check if the value of EXPIRYDATE is blank in data source. If its value is blank, assign '99991231' to it. Otherwise, it will get the value of EXPIRYDATE in transfer rule. I have rewritten the routine as follows. But there is no effects on the result.
if TRAN_STRUCTURE-EXPIRYDATE IS INITIAL.
RESULT = '99991231'.
else.
RESULT = TRAN_STRUCTURE-EXPIRYDATE.
endif.
Many thanks in advance.

Date Track fields - changes

I have a question regarding the date tracked fields in HRMS.
If I want to know what changes are made for a person record, How do I know that?
The changes may be anything like position, salary, job, grade, marital status.
How can I know the old value and the new value after the change?

if you are modifying any assignment record an additional record will be created in the table per_all_assignments_f for the same assignment id.
Example if the assignment is updated 3 times you can see 3 records created for the same assignment
Thanks

How to Track the changes made to the custom table field value

I want to track the changes made to the custom table field value in table maintenance generator.please help me it is very urgent
Thanks & Regards,
Kranti

Hi Satya,
These are the steps you've to do.
1. Enable the change document flag in the data element level for the fields of the tables you want to monitor.
2. Go to transaction SCDO. Create a new change object, and add your table to this object. After generation, you'll get a function module.
3. Call this function module in the table maintainence generator screen, after the data is saved to the database table. This function module automaticallly writes the changes, with the old and new values, and the fields that were changed to the tables CDHDR and CDPOS.
4. You can keep track of the changes made to the table by monitoring these tables.

Help:: Tracking the change history for a BP

Hi All..
I really need ur help.. Somebody please..
I'm making a prog. to update BP (TCODE: BP) & it run well. But now, i'm getting to make report for change history in BP. As for it, i look up it in table CDHDR & CDPOS, but i didn't find it :(.
I use these FM to update:
1. BUP_BUPA_UPDATE.
2. ADDR_SAVE_INTERN.
Even i have tried to run FM ADRESSE_WRITE_DOCUMENT, but it still didn't work well.
The questions are:
1. Am i right for using FM ADRESSE_WRITE_DOCUMENT in order to get the history change in CDHDR & CDPOS.
2. How to use FM ADRESSE_WRITE_DOCUMENT? What should i fill up in parameter: OBJECTID,PLANNED_CHANGE_NUMBER,PLANNED_OR_REAL_CHANGES,
and NO_CHANGE_POINTERS ???
3. Why do always i got the exception NO_POSITION_INSERTED in using FM ADRESSE_WRITE_DOCUMENT? How to solve it?
4. Or are there any ways how to update well where i'm able to track the change history for BP? / Is that any functions to update BP like FM CRM_ORDER_MAINTAIN.
Thx so much.. for ur attention
Ur guidance is so much needed.
Best Regards
Daniel N.

Hi Daniel,
You can refer to table TCDOB for object class, it has a list of object class to which you can refer to and also the text description for each object class exists in that table.
Regarding the object id, you need not pass the value of the object id unless and until you want to read the change history of a particular Business partner.
Pass the value of the object class and if required the date of change to track the changes made to the BP's in that particular time period.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Karthik.

Vertical tables and date tracked fields

We are in process of remodeling our database. We will have true 3rd normal form tables with vertical structure and date tracked fields among many other changes. I'm interested in Toplink's support capability.
We are evaluating using stored procedures to do CRUD operations and use toplink to do only reads. Has anyone used toplink in this type of database model and how is it implemented?
Thanks

Sure. Having your database in 3rd normal form will only make your object model more consistent and more efficient to modify.
TopLink has great stored procedure support and also performs very favourably on reads, so it serves this kind of model quite well. The caveat is that TopLink tends to cache fairly agressively be default. If you are doing writes outside of TopLink then you will need to determine a strategy for refreshing cached objects that may have changed in the db. TopLink does provide a number of ways that you can use to do that, including cache eviction policies, implicit and explicit refreshing, and cache hit disabling when necessary.
