BOXI Rel 3 - Data Tracking

Hi All,
I am trying to create a data tracking report which highlights the change of difference (value = current month value - previous month value). I will have a prompt which prompts user to select different year-month...
Currently I can see the data tracking working on the measure but not on the formula which reflects the difference between the two months.....
e.g.
year-month                 amount             lastmonthamount                difference
200902                          100                        0                                     0
200903                          200                        100                                +100
200904                          300                        100                                +100
Currently I can see the amount field changing colour as part of the data tracking but I want to see the other two fields change colour accordingly aswell.
Many Thanks

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.

Deny Data Tracking = Deny Duplicate Report?

We have just recently upgraded to 3.1. We're working through some wacky little issues.
Issue of the moment is, I have disallowed data tracking to most users while we assess the system impact of it. However, when these users are working in the Interactive mode and try to duplicate a report, it returns an error "Your security profile does not include permission to use data tracking." This does not happen in Advanced mode.
What does data tracking have to do with duplicating a report? Is this a bug? It is in the path to be addressed in an upcoming fix pack? I can just enable data tracking, but I really don't want to at this point.

Hello Marshall,
this could be a bug or by design, i`m not sure. Best way to figure it out would be creating a Support Message at the SAP Service Marketplace.

Date tracking in Oracle HRMS

Hello,
in PER_ALL_ASSIGNMENTS_F AND PER_ALL_PEOPLE_F and other data tracked tables, is there any way to find out when a new record is going to be inserted and when an existing record is updated? For example when a job of a person is changed, a new assignment record is added. Similarly at what circumstances these date tracked tables are changed? Is there any document to find out a way to figure out?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi,
If I understand you correctly ypu want some npiece of code which does this checking for you and takes proper action.
There is a specific api DT_API which helps you do that.
I am posting a piece of code from that API (Spec from 11.5.10 instance)
dt_api.find_dt_upd_modes_and_dates
( p_effective_date                in     date
,p_base_table_name               in     varchar2
,p_base_key_column               in     varchar2
,p_base_key_value                in     number
,p_correction                       out nocopy boolean
,p_update                           out nocopy boolean
,p_update_override                  out nocopy boolean
,p_update_change_insert             out nocopy boolean
,p_correction_start_date            out nocopy date
,p_correction_end_date              out nocopy date
,p_update_start_date                out nocopy date
,p_update_end_date                  out nocopy date
,p_override_start_date              out nocopy date
,p_override_end_date                out nocopy date
,p_upd_chg_start_date                out nocopy date
,p_upd_chg_end_date                  out nocopy date
)Now there are numerous boolean variables and based on their values the action gets decoded.
For example if you want to check for a record started on 01-JAn-2012 and you want to check what will be mode on 01-SEP-2012 then
p_effective_date := '01-SEP-2012'
p_base_table_name := 'PER_ALL_PEOPLE_F'
p_base_key_column := 'PERSON_ID'
p_base_key_value := 1234
where 1234 is value of person_id.
IF ( p_update_override = TRUE OR p_update_change_insert = TRUE )
    THEN
        -- UPDATE_OVERRIDE
        gc_dt_ud_mode := gc_upd_override; -- UPDATE OVERRIDE
    END IF;
    IF (p_correction = TRUE )
    THEN
        -- CORRECTION
        gc_dt_ud_mode := gc_correction; -- Correction
    END IF;
    IF (p_update = TRUE )
    THEN
        -- UPDATE
        gc_dt_ud_mode := gc_update; -- UPDATE
    END IF;

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

Can seeded Elements and Balance have different Date Track

hi,
The Elements created in our instance is date tracked to 01-JAN-1900 and the seeded balance date tracked to 01-APR-2005. Can seeded Elements and Balances have different date track both being seeded. Example Element is "PF INFORMATION" and Balance Named by "Leave Encashment"
How to resolve this problem when I am trying to add seeded Balance which is date tracked to 01-APR-2005 to Element date Tracked to "01-JAN-1900". I am not able to find the Balance in that Element as balance is date tracked later than Element.
If I want to add custom Element which is date tracked to 01-JUN-2002 and Seeded Balance which is date tracked to 01-JUN-1950. Since in this case i am not able to see the Custom Element in the Balance screen.
Thanks
Ram

you are not allowed to add feeds to a seeded balance type.
Can the dates be different? Sure. Look to your own dates.
By the way, why bothering about dates in 2005 and 1900, if you want to run a payroll now?

To add date track functionality in forms toolbar

hi,
i want to add effective date track fuctionality(as present in hrms form 'enter and maintain') in forms toolbar.
can anybody help me out.

Look for HRSTAND.fmb in $AU_TOP/forms/US and use it as template. Take a look for HR*/PER* attached libraries to look for DT related functions. Also, look for using custom.pll in HR note in metalink, as it has an example on dealing with DT. Additional resources, HRMS Implementation Guide (tecnical essays on DT) and if You can take the HRMS 11i Technical Foundation course.

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.

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

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

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

WCF-SQL notification and SQL Change Data Tracking - incompatible?

Hi,
I have a DB with Change Data Tracking enabled on a particular table. Each time an Update/Insert is made on this table, I'm able to check what need to be synchronised with other systems by using the CHANGETABLE function of SQL Server.
And I want to use it with a Receive location WCF-SQL with inboundOperationType=Notification. So each time a modification is made on the table, I have a notification and I'm able to retrieve the updated/inserted records.
Unfortunately, it seems that using the CHANGETABLE is not supported in the NotificationStatement, I got the following error: "The notification callback returned an error. Info=Invalid. Source=Statement. Type=Subscribe.".
Any ideas to workaround?
Thanks.

Hi Johns-305,
Thank you for your response.
I'm not totally agreed with you about the notification because it depends on the situation.
In my case, I have a table in a remote SQL database where data are not changing often. But I want to retrieve the changes as fast as I can because it needs to be synchronised with a MDM.
The notification is great for me because I get a notification message just after a change and I can synchronise it. Of course, if my receive location is down I can't receive the notification but with the mechanism described in the MSDN article you pointed,
I can get the changes I missed during the outage.
And now I have a solution to use the notification and the Data Change tracking: I use a regular SELECT statement in the notification statement (SELECT <columns> FROM MYTABLE). If something changes in the table, I got a notification and then I send
a SELECT FROM CHANGETABLE(MYTABLE, ...) and I store the number of the last modification I got. So I can retrieve only the changes that occurs since my previous call.
