Bill Presentment Architecture - Migrating to New Environement

What is the process for migrating changes in the Bill Presentment Architecture to a new environment (UAT or PROD)? Is there a FNDLOAD script? I've looked at the BPA user guide and there does not appear to be any export utilities.

Thanks to all I have got solution.

Reg: Bill Presentment Architecture

Hi all,
I want to build sales invoice using BPA. How to accomplish this.. Weather i have to build query according to invoice.. Help me.. I am new to this.

There is a chapter on "Bill Presentment Architecture" in the Oracle Receivables User Guide. See Chapter 4 if you are on Release 11i

Bill Presentment Architecture help please

Hello,
This is the first time that I am using BPA.
We need to add additional information to our Invoice and need to change the format. I have created a custom template for our invoice Print using Bill presentment Architecture. It looks good when I open the document through “Interactive Preview” of the BPA. I have created a rule and assigned the template to the new rule. I queried a transaction and clicked the eyeglass symbol, but it still shows the “Default Invoice Template”. I also ran the seeded program “BPA Transaction Print Program” expecting to see the custom template format. But I still see the default template in the output.
I have an issue with Interactive Preview as well. Online Preview looks good with all the logo and additional information in Logo area. But the Print Preview doesn’t show the logo area at all.
Could somebody please help us to resolve these issues?
Thanks in advance!

Hello,
Thanks for the answer. When you say rule data is that Rule creation date or the "Bill Creation From Date" that we setup while creating the rule? I have created a new invoice after the rule created, but it did not pick the new custom template.
I have another issue. It would be greate if you could help. I have split my logo area into 2 vertically to display logo in one and legal entity and addres on the other one. In the Online Preview I can see the logo and Legal address. But in the print preview , i am not able to see them. It just shows a blank space. Any Idea?
Thanks in advance

How to make a RTF-Template for the Bill Presentment Architecture (BPA)

Hallo,
I search a way to make an external RTF-template for the Oracle Receivables Balance Forward - Detail report in the Bill Presentment Architecture (BPA).
I've never done that.
I don't know how to get a XML-file of this request to use for the creation of the RTF-file.
And so I don't know how to specify in the RTF the LOOPs for the Lines and other If-conditions and so on.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks.

HI,
Can you please help me in finding XML output for Invoice Print BPA Child Program. I have tried changing the output format to XML but no luck. If you can send me any suggestion to my email address [email protected] would be very helpful.
Also, Did you try adding any conditional formatting (eg. <?if:column_name='value'?>) in RTF template? is it working?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Hi
In the document we found that BPA has seeded 7 templates: Default Invoice Template, Default Oracle Service Contracts Template, Default Credit Memo Template, Default Debit Memo Template, Default Chargeback Template, Default Guarantee Template, Default Deposit Template.
But we able to see only Default Invoice Template, Default Oracle Service Contracts Template. We are not able to figure it out. Can anybody help us in this regard.
And the request "Invoice Print BPA Master Program" there is only Invoice for the transaction class field. If we want credit or debit memo as class or anything relevant what should we do?
Thanks.

You just search on 'Default%' for the Template Name and you should be able to see all.
Also as I understand Invoice Print BPA Master program can be invoked for Chargeback, Credit Memo, Debit Memo, Deposit, Gurantee and Invoice
Seems your settings dont allow you to access everything.
Thanks

How to add new source views for Bill Presentment Architecture (BPA)?

Hi,
Financials 11.5.10.2;
I'm trying to add custom source views to be used with BPA.
I go to configuration\data sources and click on the views buttons to see the available views.
There I click on the register button. If I use the LOV button for view name, no views are available. I thought I would see the view in the APPS schema.
How do I make my custom views available in the list of values?
Thanks.

It was easy for us. The guide suggests your view begin with the string "ARBPA". One might assume that if your view doesn't start with this, it won't be available from the list.

OCS 2007 R2 to Lync 2013 migration – The new environment will be in a completely different forest with Lync 2013.

Hi All,
Need help - we are planning to migrate around 14000 ~ 16000 users from OCS 2007 R2 to Lync 2013 environment -
issues are - the new Lync 2013 environment will be in a new forest and sip address will not change.
Considering the same - I understand we don't have any option other than going for a cut-over.
please help me to understand how can I move the user's contact and other configurations from OCS 2007 R2 to Lync 2013.
Thanking you
Maz

Hi,
It is indeed a clean cut over. BIG BANG.
You export all users from your OCS environment. All scheduled live meetings will need to be rescheduled because Lync Server 2013 doesn't support Live Meetings anymore.
I would export, convert and import all users like this:
Dbimpexp.exe /hrxmlfile:"C:\Logs\Lync2010data.xml" /sqlserver:Sql.contoso.com\rtc
Convert-CsUserData -InputFile "C:\Logs\Lync2010data.xml" -OutputFile "C:\Logs\Lync2013Data.Zip" -TargetVersion Current
Import-CsUserData -PoolFqdn "atl-cs-001.litwareinc.com" -FileName "C:\Logs\Lync2013Data.Zip"
Don't use Import-CsUserData twice, but use Update-CsUserData the second time if needed.
Have fun!

Bill Presentment Architecture, how to Overide Default Rule and ensure the AR Invoice/Transaction Chooses "Customer Transaction Data Source"

Hi Intelligentsia,
we are on 12.2.4 on linux, i have setup external template with supplementary Data source as "Customer Transaction Data Source", when i test it fails, i am not able to debug it , however when i run the BPA Transaction Print Program (Multiple Languages) it always gives me the default layout.
Query is
How do i ensure the Default rule Does not apply to my Invoice and i am able to override it
is there a method to explicitly Ensure the Supplementary Data Source as "Customer Transaction Data Source", when i am creating the AR Invoice/ Transaction? Am i missing some setup in AR Invoice Transaction Flexfield where i need to setup this "Customer Transaction Data Source" as the DFF Context ?
please let me know if you need any more information.

Rounding on Bill Presentment Architecture output

We are using External Templates for Invoice printing in AR. We had to set Precision at 3 decimals for some new billing but that is extrapolating to the entire invoice and showing all places with decimals out to 3 now. Is there any way to round in the Amount, Total Amount, Payments and Credits and Remaining Balance cells? Using Number Format with 2 decimals in those cells is not working and still shows with the 3 from Precision setting.
Thanks

Which bean is used for selecting the image? Uploading beans will show you the local pc's folder only. Can you share the metalink which talk of this functionality.

Restoring all Users after migration to new environment without Full Import

Hallow all,
We are migrating our database from windows to Sun Solaris.
We came to situation that, we have lots of created users who do there transactions on other users tables. Now I don't want to do full import & let oracle do all the work for me. Cause we will change the structure of tablespaces & the default tablespaces for users.
Now we came to problem,
We want to create all the users without asking everyone to change his password, if we put default password for all.
I want your opinion about if the following will work:
1- I create the new tablespaces.
2- I create the main users & assign there default tablespaces.
3- on the old database I create a table
create table user_list as select * from dba_users;
4- I import the needed main users
5- I import user_list table into system account;
6- I write procedure with cursor on user_list then create users while looping on that cursor with any password.
7- I write procedure with cursor on SYS.USER$ then
alter user User_Name identified by values 'F894844C34402B67';
here the Hashed value will be selected from the User_list table where name=name on both tables.
What you think about the above steps, especially No. 7 ?
any other suggestions to do the work ?
Best Regards,
Naji Ghanim

Hi ,
Spool the create users scripts and run in new db.
select
'PROMPT Create User '||username||'...' text,
'create user "'||username||'" identified '||
decode(PASSWORD, 'EXTERNAL','externally ','by values '''||PASSWORD||''' ')||
decode(DEFAULT_TABLESPACE,'SYSTEM',null,' default tablespace "'||DEFAULT_TABLESPACE||'" ')||
decode(TEMPORARY_TABLESPACE,'SYSTEM',null,' temporary tablespace "'||TEMPORARY_TABLESPACE||'" ')||
decode(profile,'DEFAULT', null, ' profile "'||PROFILE||'" ')||';' text
from dba_users
where username not in ('ADAMS','ANONYMOUS','BLAKE','CLARK','CTXSYS','DBSNMP','DIP','DMSYS','EXFSYS','HR','JONES','MDDATA','MDSYS','MGMT_VIEW','ODM','ODM_MTR','OE','OLAPSYS','ORDPLUGINS','ORDSYS','OUTLN','PERFSTAT','PM','QS','QS_ADM','QS_CB','QS_CBADM','QS_CS','QS_ES','QS_OS','QS_WS','SCOTT','SH','SI_INFORMTN_SCHEMA','SYS','SYSTEM','TRACESVR','TSMSYS','WKPROXY','WKSYS','WK_TEST','WMSYS','XDB')
You can modify the create user script for the new tablespaces.

Bill Presentment Architecture - Add additional line columns in template

Hi,
I am going to add additional columns in lines level in BPA template. The template is for all our invoices which include manually entered invoices and invoices imported from other systems. I knew we need to create a supplemental data source base on a context value, but manually entered invoices don't have a context.
How can I create a supplemental data source for manually entered invoices?
We have three context values defined for ar invoice import from different legacy systems and plus manually entered invoices. Do we need to create 4 templates base on 4 data sources?. Can we only create one template (need additional columns in line level) for all invoices? Would be very helpful, if I get how to do these.
Thanks.
Richard

Thanks to all I have got solution.

How can we migrate bill presentment templates from DEV to PROD?

Hi,
E-business suite 11.5.10.2
Once we have designed a bill presentment template in the development environment, how can we migrate it in other environments? (TEST, PROD).
Thanks.

Welcome to the forums !
Pl see if MOS Doc 357797.1 (BPA - Is It Possible To Migrate BPA Content Items & Templates From One Instance To Another?) can help

ISCSI LUNs presented as online on new server for new cluster.

We are building out a new 2012 R2 Hyper-V cluster. The old environment is a mix of Cluster Shared Volume drives and LUNs presented just for the a VM itself.
I had planned on presenting everything in the old environment to the new environment and then just using the cluster migration wizard to move VM's over a few at a time.
I ran into a problem when I connected my first host to our SAN today. It is in a group that has over 70 LUN's presented to it. Once I connect to the target the host just cripples. I am not having Memory or CPU issues but Disk IO issues.
I noticed that the host now sees all 70 plus LUNs and has tried to bring those disk online as well.
I don't want them online right now. I just need the quorum drive and a few of the newly created LUN's online to finish creating our Cluster so we can start migrations.
Why is the Host trying to bring these drives online? As soon as I click on Devices in the iSCSI initiator the program locks up and doesn't respond.
Is there a way to setup the target but force the OS not to bring any of those disk online? I removed the favorite target, and there are no items listed in the Volume List under Volumes and Devices. However if you go to Disk Manager it shows all
70 plus disk and most of them now show online except for my newly created LUNs which are not initialized yet.
Kristopher Turner | Not the brightest bulb but by far not the dimmest bulb.

Hi KristopherJTurner,
You can try to remove the issue occurred hosts from iSCSI target SAN first. The iSCSI initiator first logs on to the target which the target has grant access before the server
can start reading and writing to all LUNs that are assigned to that target.

Need suggestion on new environment (server - database combi).

Hello,
We have two database instances (DB1 and DB2 - Both 10g) each of size 10TB. Currently, both the databases are mounted on same AIX server.
There are several schemas in each database. There will be data transfer activity between two databases. Currently we are using DB links for the same.
We are planning to build a new environment(Server / Servers) with data from both the databases.Need your inputs and suggestions on building / designing the new environment.
2 Servers with DB1 and DB2 mounted on each seperately. - Pros and cons ?
1 server with DB1 and DB2 mounted on the same server. - Pros and cons ?
1 server with 1 DB (Merging both schemas from DB1 and DB2). - Pros and cons ?
Please suggest your thoughts, advantages and constraints of the different approaches.
A few things which come to my mind instantly are : Modularity , Data transfer , Security , Ease of maintenance , Expandability of business , Architectural recommendations , Backup and Restore.
Thanks,
Anand.

Hi Arjun.Singh,
Now can I create a new database with name JKL at Server B with backup of PQR?You need a target to use the duplicate command in rman.
Is your backup of PQR a image copy?
If so you could use a classic clone procedure to create a new database.

Migration to new macbook aluminum

I have recently purchased the latest macbook and its a happy upgrade from my ibook g4. My current problem is when doing the original migration over the wireless network after many hours, the connection failed. I then went to attempt the process again however this time via ethernet. When I went to do this, I was not prompted with the original page that asked to transfer from an old mac and went straight into the set up.
So my question is now that i have a set up macbook how do I do the migration from my old ibook?I would love to get the basics of music, pictures and documents from my old machine.
Thanks so much!!

You can, but I would suggest you simply transfer the files manually over the network. There are some caveats to consider when moving from a PPC to an Intel Mac. See the following FAQ:
A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate. Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
Screensavers written for the PowerPC
System Preference add-ons
All Unsanity Haxies
Browser and other plug-ins
Contextual Menu Items
Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5
Kernel extensions
Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers unless they are universal binaries. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the current choices are USB Overdrive or SteerMouse. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior 4.1, TechTool Pro 4.6.1, SuperDuper 2.5, and Drive Genius 2.0.2 work properly on Intel-Macs with Leopard. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries. Leopard Cache Cleaner, Onyx, TinkerTool System, and Cocktail are now compatible with Leopard.
Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.
Additional links that will be helpful to new Intel-Mac users:

Transferring data with Setup Assistant - Migration Assistant FAQ
Because Migration Assistant isn't the ideal way to migrate from PowerPC to Intel Macs, using Target Disk Mode, copying the critical contents to CD and DVD, an external hard drive, or networking
will work better when moving from PowerPC to Intel Macs. The initial section below discusses Target Disk Mode. It is then followed by a section which discusses networking with Macs that lack Firewire.
If both computers support the use of Firewire then you can use the following instructions:
1. Repair the hard drive and permissions using Disk Utility.
2. Backup your data. This is vitally important in case you make a mistake or there's some other problem.
3. Connect a Firewire cable between your old Mac and your new Intel Mac.
4. Startup your old Mac in Target Disk Mode.
5. Startup your new Mac for the first time, go through the setup and registration screens, but do NOT migrate data over. Get to your desktop on the new Mac without migrating any new data over.
If you are not able to use a Firewire connection (for example you have a Late 2008 MacBook that only supports USB:)
1. Set up a local home network: Creating a small Ethernet Network.
2. If you have a MacBook Air or Late 2008 MacBook see the following:
MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008) and MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008)- Migration Tips and Tricks;

MacBook Air- Migration Tips and Tricks;
MacBook Air- Remote Disc, Migration, or Remote Install Mac OS X and wireless 802.11n networks.
Copy the following items from your old Mac to the new Mac:
In your /Home/ folder: Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites folders.
In your /Home/Library/ folder:
/Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
/Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Preferences/ (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/Calendars (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)
If you want cookies:
/Home/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist
/Home/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation/HTTPCookies.plist
For Entourage users:
Entourage is in /Home/Documents/Microsoft User Data
Also in /Home/Library/Preferences/Microsoft
Credit goes to Macjack for this information.
If you need to transfer data for other applications please ask the vendor or ask in the Discussions where specific applications store their data.
5. Once you have transferred what you need restart the new Mac and test to make sure the contents are there for each of the applications.
