Business Groups in OSSWA

Hi every one,
We have two Business Group and there are people into two Business, Can I log in with a user in two BG in application Self Service?,
When I asign a person for the user, the information for SSHR is correct, but the approvals for iProcurement doesn't work.
i.e.:
SSHR has BG UK
and
iProcurementhas BG US
Can I have just a user for both Business Groups?

There have been many post on this subject. The answer is no, there are no groups allowed. There is a workaround that uses an app. You can find it, and the other posts, by searching this iPad forum for:
mail AND group

In R12.1.3, MO:Security Profile Vs HR:Cross Business Group precedence

Hi All,
In R12.1.3, Which profile option has higher precedence in MOAC structure.
If i set the HR:Cross Business Group to NO at resp level and MO: Security Profile, which is associated to Global Security Profile which has two OUs of two different BGs.
For example:
I have BG1 - OU1
BG2 - OU2
Case 1:
Global Security Profile - XXGSP has both OU1(BG1) and OU2(BG2) associated.
HR:Cross Business Group - NO
HR:Cross Business Group - BG1
In Purchasing Responsibility, what could be the behavior when i create PO?. Will it show both OU1 and OU2? or OU1?
Case 2:
Global Security Profile - XXGSP has both OU1(BG1) and OU2(BG2) associated.
HR:Cross Business Group - Yes
HR:Cross Business Group - BG1
In Purchasing Responsibility, what could be the behavior when i create PO?. Will it show both OU1 and OU2? or OU1?
Case 3:
Global Security Profile - XXGSP has both OU1(BG1) associated.
HR:Cross Business Group - NO
HR:Cross Business Group - BG2
In Purchasing Responsibility, what could be the behavior when i create PO?. Will it show both OU1 and OU2? or OU1?
Case 4:
Global Security Profile - XXGSP has both OU1(BG2) associated.
HR:Cross Business Group - Yes
HR:Cross Business Group - BG1
In Purchasing Responsibility, what could be the behavior when i create PO?. Will it show both OU1 and OU2? or OU2?

Transfer Employee From one Business group to another

Hello,
As per my understanding we do have a functionality of transferring employee from one business group to another. Can any one tell me the exact steps for the same. It is there from 11.5.10 and the profile setting we have to set is HR: Propagate Data. Can anyone tell what from here I need to do for a transfer for employee between business group.
Thanks

hello Pdelapena,
Benefit tab is not available for all BG responsibility, like india is not having the benefit tab.
Secondly if i want to go for some Long range compensation say an employee has worked for 2 yrs then he is eligible. Now technically speaking the the transfer employee should be eligible for the same. But if we terminate him and then hire him back in the new BG only the thing that is same is Party_ID apart from that is nothing same. Can you please put some suggestions.
Eg: Person Hired on 10 Jul 2007 in US BG
Person Transferred to India BG on 20 Jul 2008
Now the company plans to give a compensation to all the employee who have been part of the company for 2 yrs or plus till 20 Jul 2009
Now this particular employee will not be pulled out in the eligibility criteria.
Can any one please pass there comments
Thanks

How to retrive only data related to specific business group efficiently?

We have sql queries which were written for an instance assuming that there will be only one Business Group. Now, we want to reuse those queries for another instance which is based on multi business groups.
I understand, using fnd_profile.value('PER_BUSINESS_GROUP_ID') this, we can join with BG ID in correspondingthe tables. I found below tables which are used in my query.
ota_delegate_bookings
ota_events_tl
ota_activity_versions
ota_activity_versions_tl
ota_activity_versions
ota_category_usages
ota_offerings
per_person_types
ota_booking_status_types
hr_locations
per_all_assignments_f
per_all_people_f
per_org_structure_elements
hr_all_organization_units
Now my question is, do we need to join this BG id for all these tables using the value from above profile?
For example, employees difined in system are specific to one BG. Even though when we use/join with person_id in per_all_people_f, we will get unique record. So still is there any need to join with this BG id ?
My concern is, in my query there are many places where I need to add this extra BG id condition, this may reduce performance of the query. I am not sure whether I have to change if id's are being used in the query.
It would be very helpful, if any one can share the best practices(technically) when working with multiple BG, LE, OU's etc..

How to go for multiple business group

Dear All.
This is a very common and perhaps very old question now. But I just want to check what is the common process to go through to achieve multiple business groups. We are in oracle 12.1.XX and have single business group but now looking to implement more business group for other countries in same instance. I understand most of the objects would be same and they can be reused like DFF, Locations, Lookups, Value set etc but need to focus more on RICEW components. May I request you to please share your experience on this and let me what are the mandatory steps we need to follow, like running some seeded programs, restructuring other objects, creating seprate DFF, Valueset etc.
Thank you in advance (But that dosent mean I will not thank you later on )
Avinash

Hi Vignesh,
Thanks again for your quick response..
We are not migrating employee records.. we have one business group already and we want to create new business group for newly aquired company which is in other legislation. So just want to know what would be impact on existing BG and what are the objects we can reuse. For example we need to create New responsibilities, Menu, functions, job, position, person type etc.. Similarly we can use existing location, valuesets from existing BG in our new BG. Like this we want to create a list first so that we can plan our implimanation and come up with timeline..
I hope it is clear now.
Thanks,
Avinash

Single Item Master across Business Groups

Hi Gurus,
Client wants to implement single item master across the business groups (BG).
Does this require set up of HR Profile for allowing Cross Business groups?
Is there any other setting that needs to be done (in addition to traditional Inv Org definition)?
Appreciate your early response.
Thanks,
Sudarshan

Sudarshan
I think you need to setup Hr security profile only if you are using that. If not you just need to enable the profile value for cross business group. This is required just in case if an employee needs to be picked up in the lov in an item attribute (I don't remember whether there is one) from diff BG.Also move order approvals need to be tested if you are using that feature.
In general I think anything that need to do with employees need to be tested.
Thanks

Business group structure in 11.5.10.2

Hi all,
I am using Vision demo for 11.5.10.2. Is there any feature where we can outline business group structure ? I think it is available in DashBoard. However, I could not be able to find it out.
TIA.
dba.apps.

Login to your ebusiness suite and run the oracle diagnostics test 'Organization Structure'
This would give you details about organization structure like business group definitions, GRE/Legal Entity accounting details etc.

Same Org as Business Group and Operating Unit cannot be migrated via isetup

Hi,
I have tried to migrate the setup of an organization which is classified as both Business group and Operating unit.
When it comes to Operating unit API, it errors out with the following Warning message.
I request the iSetup Team to clarify whether there is any restriction in iSetup that the same org as BG and OU cannot be transferred.
If yes, then how to migrate the same...
The above situation happens for the org classified as OU and IO. In this case the INV org API give the warning message.

HR Business Group Based Security

Hi All,
We have implemented the EBS and OBIEE integration without any security enabled.
We have tried to implement the Business Group Org Based Security.
When we have enabled that initialization block and saved it.
SQL used in intialization block is
SELECT
DISTINCT 'BUSINESS_GROUP',
TO_CHAR(FND_PROFILE.VALUE_SPECIFIC('PER_BUSINESS_GROUP_ID', USER_ID, RESPONSIBILITY_ID, RESPONSIBILITY_APPLICATION_ID))
FROM
+(SELECT+
USER_ID,
RESPONSIBILITY_ID,
RESPONSIBILITY_APPLICATION_ID
FROM
FND_USER_RESP_GROUPS
WHERE
START_DATE < SYSDATE
AND (CASE WHEN END_DATE IS NULL THEN SYSDATE ELSE TO_DATE(END_DATE) END) >= SYSDATE
AND USER_ID = (CASE WHEN 'VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.EBS_SSO_INTEGRATION_MODE)' = 'Integrated'
THEN VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.OLTP_EBS_USER_ID) ELSE (SELECT USER_ID FROM FND_USER WHERE USER_NAME = ':USER') END)
AND RESPONSIBILITY_ID = (CASE WHEN 'VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.EBS_SSO_INTEGRATION_MODE)' = 'Integrated'

THEN 'VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.OLTP_EBS_RESP_APPL_ID)' ELSE RESPONSIBILITY_APPLICATION_ID END))
It is retuning error.

Do any one have idea about how to reslove this issue ?
Thanks & Regards
Vishwanath

the first thing I can think of is: have you integrated eBS with OBIEE?
I know this initblock just works fine, but when I look to you error... I really don't have a clue...
But it must be the RESPONSIBILITY_ID or the RESPONSIBILITY_APPLICATION_ID.. but both are numbers already...

Hi Srini and Mugunthan,

Yes, the location is already available in the Target instance.

IRecruitment for Multiple Business Group

Hi Gurus,
I have US business Group and iRecruitment enabled for it. Now I am adding Canada Business Group. How do I enable the iRecruitment for it (do I create a different site? do I use same site? how to assign responsibility for CA?), when I register in the existing iRec site the person gets registered to US BG. Any information, help, guide, instructions, please let me know
Thanks in advance.

This is a bit of a headache. Essentially you'll need to:
1. Clone the iRecruitment responsibilities (eg, iRecruitment Visitor) for each Business Group
2. Copy the delivered IrcVisitor.jsp pages and modify the responsibilityKey and securityGroupKey for each site. For example, you will have a XxUsIrcVisitor.jsp, XxCaIrcVisitor.jsp and so on.
3. Re-do all the personalizations specific to each country at the appropriate level (ie, not Site!).
I hope that helps!

How to create a new business group in production instance?

Hi All
How can I create a new Business Group in Oracle Apps in a production Instance where there wont be any HRMS responsibility. Do I need to create a new Business Group through Inventory responsibility ? Any documents about this issue?
Thanks and Regards
M.A.Rahman

why do you need to create a new business group? To implement HR? If so, linking a HR responsibility to your user, is one of the few steps to go anyway.
How you did it on the test environment?
Why not link a hr resp to your user temporarily, and disable it later.
I'm always afraid to answer this kind of questions, since the real requirement is not described.

Changing Owner & Business Group of ASD Custom Resource

So this is a bit of an expansion of this discussion: https://communities.vmware.com/thread/500669?start=0&tstart=0
You will see that pizzle85 managed to solve his challenge of BG object ownership by using an ASD Service Catalog Request located in each Business Group's Entitlements so a member of the business group can just run the Provision required to bring the BG item under management in the business group. This is quite an effective method to solve the need. He then has a Resource Action that allows for re-"Provision" which changes owner within the business group: a necessary task because managers tend to move around a lot so they can look busy. (just kidding, I love managers--who have a sense of humor) So to change owner... just perform a "provision" again.
Apparently this is one of the best kept secrets in vRA because it has been hard to figure out, and nobody is writing about it. (I can only assume that there is some SE out there who has worked with the developers to get this capability going and it hasn't been shared widely.)
Note: I think Business Groups as a Service is something I need to plan for (vs centrally managed Business Groups) even though their future implementation might vary, so my examples here are related to that effort because I am too lazy to demonstrate a generic example. BUT... the idea is... ownership of ASD Inventory Objects (representing ANY Custom Resource) can be modified using this method. Ownership includes both the owner represented by "ME" in the Items list... and the Business Group (subtenant Reference & Label) where the item resides in inventory.
In 6.2.x, I have not found any method in the vRO plugin for vRA to be able to change ownership and business group of an ASD Custom Resource Inventory Item, but it can be accomplished via a combination of (1) ASD Service Catalog or Resource Action "Provision" capabilities and (2) REST calls through the vRA plugin service channels. (the latter uses the plugin service account authorizations/entitlements)
Consider this image...
This could represent a central management point for many business groups: where I can assign a set of resource actions allowing for automation of various business group needs, an anchor point for actions. Those in the sktest business group Support User or Manager Role would be able to see all the business groups globally if they were all provisioned in sktest. (a bucket to manage from)
This also could represent a starting point where business groups are created as real objects, returned as custom resources, and "provisioned" as inventory object items. But once there...maybe you want to move it?
Let's say we later decided, seantesting doesn't belong in sktest because we wanted to change from the "we manage it for you" model to the "manage it yourself" model. How do you move it?
Like this...
And it moves now owned by the vRA plugin service account... (which an entitled user could run Take Ownership and own it in that business group)
The service account obviously needs to be part of the destination business group and as it ends up, has to have an entitlement to any "provision" action in the business group even though the object doesn't exist there.
This is a tricky hack and this is how it works...
1. vRO workflow calls the Take Ownership Action in vRA via REST (front door process). As noted before, this has a provision attribute to the action which we know changes the owner. So we would expect that the owner would change to the user that is making the request: which is the service account. The service account becomes the owner, but this wouldn't change the Business Group.
2. So we change subtentantRef and subtenantLabel in the REST call to the business group we want to target, even though the object isn't in inventory in that business group. And Voila! The business group item representation re-provisions as a new owner in a new business group. Effectively changing the owner and moving the object from one BG to another BG using the management-method vs the self-service-method (the latter as pizzle85 did).
Again... maybe you care less about Business Groups. Maybe you would prefer self-service. It is the capability of moving a custom resource inventory representation that matters.
Here is an example of the REST call to run the "Take Ownership" action. I have a script before this that pulls in all the variables for the "Resource" I am targeting (from the BusinessGroup object ID), the action I am running (Take Ownership ID), the business group Ref and Label) and some of the properties I need for the Take Ownership action like bgName... but those are actually not necessary. (all of the "entries" are what is required per the Take Ownership request... if that request didn't require any inputs, there would be no entries... it is the top change of subtenant that allows for the BG move)
System.log("resourceRef: " + resourceRef);
System.log("resourceActionRef: " + resourceActionRef);
System.log("targetRef: " + targetRef);
System.log("targetLabel: " + targetLabel);
System.log("bgName: " + bgName);
var payload ={
"@type":"ResourceActionRequest",
"resourceRef":{"id":resourceRef},
"resourceActionRef":{"id":resourceActionRef},
"organization":{"tenantRef":"vsphere.local","tenantLabel":"vsphere.local","subtenantRef":targetRef,"subtenantLabel":targetLabel},

System.log(payload);
Server.log(payload);
var catalogRest = cafeHost.createRestClient(vCACCAFEServicesEnum.CATALOG_SERVICE);
var response = catalogRest.post("consumer/requests",payload);
Best of luck in your Automation Efforts!

Turns out... it is likely not required as part of the request data.

Security Profile Seeting with in a Same Business Group

Hello,
With in one business group I have employee of multiple country. Now the concern is that I need to have two different responsibility through which I can restrict the employee as per the country.
The things which identify between countries are. 1. They have different GRE. 2. They have different Operating Units. I have tried to create a security profile it has the one option Secure organization by single Operating units, but I ma not able to see that working? Where exactly we need to declare the operating Unit i need to secure for? Can any one suggest me a suitable work around.
The version we are using is 11.5.10
Thanks

If you security profile is 'static', then you need to run the concurrent process 'Security List Maintenance'. This will identify all records which match the security profile rule and then allow the user to see those records when the use their 'secured' responsibility.

Tim
