Behavior difference(s) in 11g for indicating LOV is available for a field

Folks,
Would appreciate some patience when responding to this question, as it might be obvious to those of you who deal with Forms on a daily basis and have done so for years. I'm a DBA who has recently come into a small shop where I get to do anything/everything that has the Oracle name on it. We have a forms app that has been around for a long time. I just finished migrating databases and our Forms/application server over to Linux (OEL 5 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.6 (Tikanga)) and the latest stack (Weblogic 10.3.4, Fusion Middleware 11.1.1.4). We were on Forms 10gR1, I think, since the version reported by opatch says "Oracle Application Server Forms and Reports Services 10g 9.0.4.0.0."
So, I installed the WLS/FMW software on the new box, configured it, and secured it without any major issues. I copied over the *.fmb's from old-to-new box and migrated them using the tool/script...then compiled all of the forms in 11g and got new *.fmx's. There were several warnings during migration about deprecated features, but no errors...our Forms app is pretty simple in nature...nothing really complex that I have encountered so far.
While we've been testing, our users have noticed two changes in behavior that really bother them.
1) They were used to seeing an ellipsis (...) appear at the far right in the field if there was an associated LOV. They still get a message across the bottom that there is an LOV, but no visual clue in the field itself. And they can do a Ctrl-L to display the LOV, just like before.
2) When they navigate via the mouse to a field, it used to highlight the entire field so that they could re-type the value. Now, it just places the cursor exactly where they have navigated within the field. Tabbing out and back into the field will highlight the whole field for re-typing.
I've looked for a while and can't see any property to set to get either behavior to return. I've compared the previous version's property sheets to the current version's property sheets...and all properties and values appear to be exactly the same.
Can someone tell me whether this is expected behavior (i.e. "live with it") or whether there is something I've missed in configuring the app? I've been away from Forms since it was called Forms 4.5/Developer 2000, so some of the behavior might just be the new way of things. I've also looked at the *.env files and the entries appear the same (basically all the defaults--look and feel, etc). I could just be missing something from the manuals (which look amazingly like they used to look in the late 90's).
Any pointers/help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Rob

Slava,
Thanks for the response. You're absolutely right. The first issue is resolved as per your suggestion. That's quite a path...truly buried. I went back to the old forms server and, sure enough, we had also modified that file and set app.ui.lovButtons=true. Probably should have found that on my own.
For those that follow, just want to correct a couple of very minor typos: Registry.dat versus registry.dat...and in the path for the directory, change "fmrconfig" to be "fmwconfig" ... at least in my installation.
Full path: $DOMAIN_HOME/config/fmwconfig/servers/WLS_FORMS/applications/formsapp_11.1.1/config/forms/registry/oracle/forms/registry/Registry.dat
Amazing...
Don't see any reason why your suggestion for my second issue won't work either. So, I'm calling this one answered.
Thanks very much indeed.
Rob

Strange behavior of KEY-LISTVAL trigger for date field

The code down lead to next behaviour:
- When I use the List of Value (LOV) fil the field up with a sysdate.
I choose one period from the LOV, but the field becomes empty.
/* CGAP$OLES_SEQUENCE_BEFORE */
declare
l_cursor_item VARCHAR2(200) := :system.cursor_item;
l_null_value BOOLEAN := false;
begin
if :system.cursor_value is null
then
copy(sysdate,l_cursor_item);
l_null_value := true;
end if;
qms$calendar.key_listval;
if l_null_value
then
copy(null,l_cursor_item);
end if;
end;
It seems logical behavior of this code.
But I don't understand why Headstart 6.5.4.0. generated this code.
Headstart version 6.5.0 hasn't this code. There it is simply:
/* CGAP$OLES_SEQUENCE_BEFORE */
begin
qms$calendar.key_listval;
end;

HI,
After I save the entries - I see them on the layout. Then I exit bps0 and entr it again, re-launch the layout and don't see anything - just empty cells for the dates and 0s for the amounts. When I change the Characteristics combinations from "All possible characteristics combinations" to "From Transaction Data" I start seeing the entered values. How could I possibly continue on using All possible characteristics combinations and still see the entered values?
Best regards,
Andrey

Trx F-53, The difference is too large for clearing Message no. F5263

Hi,
I created a PO, then I posted the goods receipt, the invoice and I was trying to
post the payment by F-53 trx.
When I select an open item from the list and I try to simulate the posting by the menu (Document, simulate), system replies by:
"*The difference is too large for clearing
Message no. F5263*"
Cannot understand why it is not possible to post the outgoing payment
Regards

Dear Sappione,
did You check the tolerances?
Check in transaction OBY6 the indicator 'No forex rate diff. when
clearing in LC' is not set the amount is converted with the exchange
rate valid at clearing date, in case You're clearing in LC a foreign document.
When you post a clearing transaction with rounding
differences, those differences are posted to an additional line item
GL accounts. This account determination is customized as follows :
FBKP - Exchange rate differences -
Exchange rate difference in open items - KDF -a/c XXXXXXXXX
(Realized gain exchange rate difference)
The accounts used for rounding differences when clearing
are the realized gain/loss exchange rate accounts.
please check all the 3 suggestions.

Mod_osso behavior differences with 10gR3 Oracle HTTP Server 2

We have an install of standalone 10gR3 Oracle HTTP Server 2 (i.e. the Apache 2 version), and have noticed that the behavior of mod_osso is different than the regular 10gR3 Oracle HTTP Server (i.e. the Apache 1 version).
We use the following in our mod_osso.conf:
<Location /somepath>
AuthType Basic
require valid-user
</Location>
First Difference: With OHS 2, when we go to /somepath, we get the error "missing AuthName" in the Apache logs.
So, we set an AuthName. Now, our mod_osso.conf looks like this:
<Location /OnDemand>
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Oracle Single Sign On"
require valid-user
</Location>
Second Difference: Now, we we go to /somepath, Apache returns a 401, which causes the browser to prompt for credentials! We can enter anything we want in the dialog, and everything will continue as normal (i.e. redirects to the Oracle SSO Server to prompt for credentials, etc).
So, our question is: Why these behavior differences in 10gR3 OHS 2? It almost seems as if it's using an old 9i mod_osso!
Thanks,
- Bill

Okay, we figured it out.
Apparently, the three "LoadModule mod_auth*" lines in OHS 2 httpd.conf need to be commented out.
Now mod_osso is working exactly as with OHS 1.

FB05 (post and clearing) u0093The difference is too large for clearingu0094

I am passing entry through FB05 (Post and clear). The entry is between two GL accounts maintained as open items. At the time of passing the entry there is difference between these two accounts. I want this difference to be posted automatically to profit and loss account. (I dont want to charge of the difference manually). I can not post the entry because system is throwing error such as The difference is too large for clearing. I checked the tolerance limit(OBA4), but the difference is within the tolerance limit.
Does anybody know how to configure for this situation?
Do I need to do any configuration in FBKP?
(Please consider this very urgent)
Regards,
Amit Bedekar.

Hello
Check if this helps.
Reason Codes
Use
To use the clearing document to find out why a difference existed, you can assign reason codes to the line items. Reason codes are indicated by keys that you define in Customizing.
You can assign reason codes for the following:
Partial payments made for open items.
Residual items created for an open item. Here you can assign one or more reason codes. In this case, you divide the difference amount into a corresponding number of partial amounts.
Differences posted on account without reference to an open item.
For each line item you enter in the clearing procedure, if the reason code field for the account is ready for input.
Integration
When you process residual items, the reason code also controls how the remaining amount is posted. The remaining amount can be posted as follows:
To a G/L account that is assigned to the reason code you enter.
As a new customer or vendor open item if you do not enter a reason code, or if the reason code you enter is not indicated as described.
Features
Properties of Reason Codes
For incoming payments, you can send a payment notification to the customer. This process can run automatically if differences arise during clearing. In the tolerance group set up for the customer, you can define what type of notice to create for partial payments, residual items, and payments on account.
The system can use the specified reason code to determine the type of notice to create as long as only one reason code is specified in the entire clearing transaction.
In order to check a customer's credit limit, the total of open items is taken into account. If certain contentious items should not be considered, you can define a separate reason code for these items.
Reason codes control:
How the difference is posted (as a new open item or to a predefined G/L account)
What type of payment notice is created
Whether an item is included in credit limit checks
For information on defining reason codes, see the following activities in the Financial Accounting Implementation Guide:
Define Reason Codes (Incoming Payments)
Define Reason Codes (Manual Outgoing Payments)
Define Standard Reason Codes for Clearing with Payment Advice Notes

Differences between Oracle 8i for a UNIX Platform and Oracle 8i for a Linux Platform

Hello,
J would like to know if there are some differences between Oracle 8i for a UNIX Platform and Oracle 8i for a Linux Platform.
I know that there are some differences on Oracle 8i Parallel Server and i know that some products are not include like precompiler (Mod*Ada, Pro*FORTRAN) on a Linux Platform.
Thank you.

We have installed Oracle 8i on Solaris 8 and it had a great performance, of course that the hardware and licence invested here was costed my the office where i work. Personaly i'd installed linux reh hat 8 and oracle 8i, imagine that, it could be implemented by any individual that has the time to do so.
By buyinng from a company that has a good background you could be sure that you will have support.
Bottom line, if you have the $ to buy great hardware go for a unix platform. But if you don't a Red Hat Linux Server Licence with a 1 year sopport and Oracle data base is about 3500Dls.

Currency "Difference is too large for clearing" when using t-code F-32

AR Business process is as follows: Invoices are issued. When payment is received, it is posted using F-26, with reference to customer but no specific invoice. F-32 is then used to match payments against invoices, and clear them. When trying to clear foreign currency customer items in local currency we receive error message F5263 "Difference is too large for clearing." We have set tolerance levels at the highest possible amount in OBA4. Please advise.

The forum [FPM - General|Enterprise Performance Management (SAP EPM); in which you originally posted your question deals mainly with the financial performance applications otherwise known as Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) carrying the BusinessObjects brand.

T.Code: F-03 -The difference is too large for clearing

Hi,
When we try to clear G/L Account line item we are getting the error message is " The difference is too large for clearing"
And this GL Account is set for Open item & Line item management and company code currency CAD. But they have not cliked for only balances in local currency.
And When we click the error message we are getting the below description:
The difference is too large for clearing
Message no. F5 263
Diagnosis
A non-assigned difference exists for the specified clearing amount.
The difference for an automatic difference posting must not be greater than the difference permitted for the user, nor greater than the difference permitted for the tolerance group that is contained in the customer/vendor master record.
System Response
It is not possible to automatically charge off the difference.
Procedure
You can charge off the difference manually using the function "Clear differences". You define the upper limits for automatically clearing differences in the tolerance group assigned to the user.
Change tolerance groups for user
Can you please suggest us how to resolve this problem
Thanks in advance

Hello,
You need to check your settings for the company code involved concerning
clearing in local currency. You can find this setting within the
Implementation Guide under following path:
Financial Accounting
-> Financial Accounting Global Settings
-> Company Code
-> Enter Global Parameters. (transaction OBY6)
The field in question is called 'No exchange rate differences when
clearing in Local Currency' (V_001_B-XSLTA).
Please read the F1 help for this field and flag it.
When clearing an account (e.g. transactions FB1*, F-44 etc.) without
a new manual posting, the system always takes the current exchange
rate. If you want to enter the rate manually, you have to choose
the functionality 'posting with clearing' (e.g. FB05) and post the
difference as payment, credit memo or transfer posting.
I hope this helps.

Difference is too large for clearing - AR

Hi
We have a scenario where we are trying to clear a SINGLE open line item from customer account. The amount is say 0.02USD and it is well within the tolerance limit set for both the users and the customers in the company code. The tolerance group is also assigned in the customer master.
Also we have configured the expense accounts for charging off the difference in OBXL based on reason codes. The reason code has "charge off diff" ticked in table T053R for the company code.
When we try to clear this open item the system gives the message "Difference is too large for clearing". There are no exchange differences.
Please let us know what we are not doing right.
Best wishes
Raj.

dear Raj,
follow steps bellow
1 - OBA4 definition - 99,9%
2 - F-44 (or any other customer clearing tcde)
3 - Autmatic clearing discount

Material Quantity difference document line item for HU

Dear Experts,
When I try to clear differences in LI21, i get the error message as above.
Error Message : 'Material Quantity difference document line item for HU'
Any idea why this error occurs?
Regards,
Shetty

Hello Shetty,
It may be due to some stock inconsistency. You may try iin case of a non HU managed storage location HU to run LX23 and it can fix discrepancy overwrting MM-IM with LE-WM data. But if it is a HU managed then you can run HUDIFF transaction but only to see if there is stock differences not to fix anything, usually SAP Support (Development Support) does that job.

Is there a difference between microsoft office for mac and for windows?

As a college student it's important that everything is equal for windows and mac for using instructions. So i am wondering if theres a difference between microsoft office for mac and for windows?

There are differences between the two version of Office. If you need to be exactly like the Windows version, you will have to run Windows on your Mac.

How to get difference between two rows for a column field?

hi, all,
Could anyone show me what query statement is to get the difference betweem two rows for two column fields?
The tables and its records are like this:
id,      begin,      end
p1         21          30
p2          45          60
p3          120          150
I would like to have the query result like this
id,    diff
p1     15    --- which is 45 minus 30
p2     60    --- which is 120 minus 60
and so on...
thank you in advance.
Raffy

You can use the LAG function to access values from previous rows:
with q as (select 'p1' id, 21 v_start, 30 v_end from dual
union all
select 'p2', 45, 60 from dual
union all
select 'p3', 120, 150 from dual)
select id, v_start, v_end, v_start - lag (v_end, 1, 0)
over (order by id) v_diff from q
ID,V_START,V_END,V_DIFF
p1,21,30,21
p2,45,60,15
p3,120,150,60
