Creating new business area from external database over dblink

Hi all,
I have the following configuration,
ORCL - Database containing the EUL
The EUL owner is BI_ADMIN.
ADG - Database containing the objects and data
There is a database link from ORCL to ADG using the username BI_ADMIN.
Steps to recreate problem
1. I connect to the EUL in ORCL
2. click on the "Create a new Business area" button
3. ensure that "on-line dictionary" is selected, then click on next.
4. select the appropriate db_link from drop-down list.
5. select user scott from list of users
6. click on optionss button, and "tick" public tables option. Then click OK button.
7. click next button
8. click on user scott in available box.
It is at this point that i have a problem, no objects in the scott schema are displayed for selection.
If i create a new user in database ADG ,along with a new object in newly created schema and i follow the steps 1 - 9 detailed above, substituting scott with
the new user i created, the object i created appears in the available box.
I would appreciate it if anybody can tell me what i'm doing wrong.
thanks
Mel

Hello
I'm wondering whether you might have a schema in the local database with the same name as the one you are trying to pull from across the database link. You will need to do a little workaround to get around this if this is your scenario.
I have a paper in my downloads area on my website: http://ascbi.com/downloads.htm that describes how to pull data definitions in across a database link. Take a look and let me know if this helps.
Best wishes

Capture DB Table and column comments when creating new Business Area/Folder

Does anyone know if it is possible to pull the DB table and column comments into Discoverer when creating new Business Area/Folders? Our developers take the time to put the information in the Db data dictionary and we would like to leverage it (reduce need for manually adding descriptions) ... has anyone done this?
If there isn't a way to automatically do it, would there be any harm in using a sql script to populate the description fields from the DB data dictionary directly into the EUL tables appropriate?
I have been searching through documentation and forums for information - with no luck at this point.
Thanks!

Hi Seymour
You can add column comments to views as well, as this example will show:
CREATE OR REPLACE FORCE VIEW MY_SEQUENCE
(SEQ_ID, SEQ_NAME, SEQ_NEXTVAL)
AS
SELECT "SEQ_ID","SEQ_NAME","SEQ_NEXTVAL" FROM EUL5_SEQUENCES;
COMMENT ON COLUMN MY_SEQUENCE.SEQ_NAME IS 'The sequence';
So you could add the comments at the view level and then refresh Discoverer.
Best wishes

New Business Area Not Found

I successfully created new business area in Administration Edition , but in desktop edition while creating a new file for same user, the available list remains empty. Please help me, I am new to this.
Thanks
DSD

Hi DSD,
It sounds like a security / privilege issue to me. You could try the following:
1.) In Discoverer Admin can you confirm that the person and responsibility you are logging into Desktop with, has been given access to the Business Area in Tools>Security.
2.) In Discoverer Admin could you also check in Tools>Privileges to ensure that that the Desktop user has ‘User Edition’ selected.
3.) If you have more than one End User Layer (EUL) then it could be that you are logging into the wrong one. In Desktop click Tools>Options>EUL and ensure there aren’t more that two in the list. If there are select the correct one that you want to connect in as. Log out of Desktop and then back in again.
For more information in Security and Privileges read one of Oracle Guides.

Hope this helps,

Export views and business areas from dev to prod.

Hi Gurus,
I am using oracle database 10gR2 and Oracle BI Discoverer Administration 10gR2.
I have an End User Layer disadmin1 with 10 business areas. This EUL also have folders for the views in its own schema. I used original import/export utility to export this EUL from Development to Production environment.I exported the schema disadmin1 form development and imported it into production into same shcema disadmin1 (This exported the views too) . It is absolutely working fine.
Now I have to develop 5 more business areas in the same EUL as phase 2 development I am keeping the EUL disadmin1 for bug fixing for initial 10 BAs, and I have another EUL disadmin2 to develop new business areas. For these new business areas, I have to firrst create views and then create folders on these views in disadmin2. I will export the new business areas form discoverer utility 'Selected Business Areas' from disadmin2 and will import them into production in original EUL disadmin1. My problem is how can I export new views from development to production.
Thanks for the help.

With Discoverer, there is not necessarily one right way to do things. There is certainly nothing wrong with the process you are doing. I believe Oracle had a different process in mind with Oracle, but that does not mean your process is wrong. Did you install the seeded (Oracle term) business areas that come with Discoverer, and activated the business views for those Oracle business areas? Put those into Production and your users can develop workbooks on the fly in Production, rather than wait for something to go through a development-test-production process. Which can be good or bad depending on your individual situation. As for creating new views, I suggest talking to your Oracle technical team to see what process they have for approving new views in production and getting those views created. I would suggest getting those approved and created first before relying on using them for Discoverer development (just in case the creation is not approved), but that is just my opinion.

Removing the business area from the WBS element

Hi Experts,
I have created the WBS element with business area. Then created the PR against that WBS element , converted the PR's to PO's.
Now I want to remove the business area from WBS element.
Now as Business area field become grayed out hence I canot remove the Business area from WBS element.
Hence I have cancelled the PO's then Cancelled the PR's. So now there is no actual cost & no commitment exists against the WBS element.
But still Business area field is grayed out for that WBS element.
Could you please let me know how to remove the business area in this case ???
Regards,
Pradip

Hi,
Once BA is grayed out then you can not change the same, this is sap std. behavior. Here you can lock the existing wbse which having wrong BA to avoid further actual postings.
Create new wbse with correct BA & then create pr & po.

Sandeep

Folders/tables in a new business area

I4m creating a new business area, so in the second step of the
wizard I select a user from which I want to take the folders,
then in the third step I click on the user to see the tables I
could put in the business area but nothing happens, only that
after some seconds the sign (+) near to the name of the schema
dissapears and no tables appear.
This is a problem with this user, I have done it before with
other users and i didn4t have any problem.
How should I solve this problem.
Thanks in advance.

This sounds like a simplistic question but are you sure you have
access to the tables in the schema? Can you describe the tables
in SQL*Plus?

New Business Area Configuration

Hi,
I have an issue,Please support me!
So far we have not configured Business Area and using company code only.
However owing to business requirements we are planning to configure 4
(four) business areas.
This project we are rolling out from 01-Apr-2009 (Starting of new
fiscal year).
In this contxt request you to highlight the other areas that will get
affected and precautions to be taken.
Also after configuration of new business areas, "trail balance sheet"
has to be tallied.
Regards
JNRao

Hi,
Configuration of business areas won't create any problems to trial balances, but you can create statements for different business area level,
Business areas are not assigned to company code, so all company codes under your company can any of the business area's.
Make sure that filed status groups are maintained properly to use business area's for transaction posting.
Thanks,
Mahesh

ERROR :APP-PER-289381 While Creating New Business Group

Hello,
When i am creating new business group in new fresh implementation i am find this error.

Thanks
Mohsin

Hi Mohsin,
whatever name you are trying just run the below query to check if it already exists or not.
select * from apps.per_business_groups where name = 'Give here the name you are tyring'
If this returns any row means name already exist in deed. You can rename the existing business group and then create new on. However, if name doesnt exist, wait for any other reply in the forum.

Not able to delete Business Area from Cost Center Master: Msg KS022 & KS370

Hi,
We have a created a cost center with a business area by an oversight
(i.e we are not using BA) and postings have been done to CC, now we want to
delete the business area from CC master but the system is giving error
KS134 'Field change Business Area is not possible (transaction data
already exists)'.
So we tried to change the analysis period and in the new analysis
period (which is mid-year) we deleted the BA and during saving there
are messages KS370 'No fiscal year defined for the analysis period' &
KS022 'No further processing -> contact your system administrator' .
We are using V3 as the fiscal year variant which is non-calendar fiscal
year.
Please let us know how handle this as we need to delete the Business
area from the CC master during mid-year.
Thanks
VS

Hi,
You need to change BA of an already posted against cost center.
There is a consulting note you should take into consideration:
62716 KS020 when changing company code, business area The prerequisites of how the business area might be changed during the fiscal year:
-The change interval is set to period limits
-There is no dependent actual transaction data in the change interval or afterwards.
-There must already be an analysis period for the respective cost
center which starts on the first day of the chosen period. If this is not the case, you can create one with 'Change cost center' - KS02 (for example, by changing the cost center manager).
Nevertheless if there is dependent actual data already posted in the time frame from the change date and all periods forth it is not possible to change the business area. This is bound to consistency reasons as the business area is stored in the CO-documents.
If You need to change the business area in this particular period with actual postings You must cancel all actual documents already posted on the cost center between the date of change and all forthcoming periods.
regards
Waman

Creating a Business Partner from XML

I have a problem creating a Business Partner from an XML
First I did get the XML from an existing one. Deleted the DocEntry element but I always get this error :
-5002 : Employee is not a Technician [OCRD.DfTcnician] , '0'
Even if I go to this element and put NOTHING, I get the error anyway
What that means ?

Yeah, I succeeded. I had to get rid of dtfncien element completly and DocEntry element too and the bp was created
Would have been so much useful to get an EMPTY xml representation of an object so we juste have to fill the needed properties to an empty one and create the object afterward.
According to various threads, we have to GetAsXML() then, change whatever needs to be changed and then we create the object from this xml but there are a lot to get rid of sometimes in these objects

Creation of New Business Area

Hi Experts,
I want to create a new Business Area in my system and my worry is will that have an impact on my live system.I tried out a possiblilty by creating a new Bus Area T-Code OX03 and created a new Profit and CostCenter for the same in QA Server.
I tried out posting Journals for the same and the output was ok in FBL1/3/5N.
We are using SAP ECC 6.0 with Sp Purpose Ledger functionality.Do i need to do any further customization for the same.Since i want to create this new BA in Live server now.
Regards
Rahul

Business Area is an org. unit which you would want to fill in your documents, so you could draw business area-wise financial statements. I think you are good to go with what you have done in QA system, if you do the same in your Prod. system. But, what would happen to the documents that already exist in Prod. system. You must come out with a way to populate those documents with the business area, if applicable. If not (I mean, if it is a completely new business area for use in future only), your job is easy.

Can't create new folder on an external hard drive, and how to transfer files?

Hello everyone,
the non-English speaking videographer I translate for is having problems operating his Premiere CS5 for Mac from an external hard drive. He cannot create new folder on the external hard drive (the "New Folder" button is grayed-out when tries to export media onto the external hard drive) and when he simply tries to create new folder, the "new folder" option isn't available.
He suspects it's because the hard drive was formatted for PC.
Questions:
- should PC-formatting cause that problem?
- what's the proper way to transfer media files from PC-formatted external hard drive to the internal hard drive on Mac?
Would appreciate your advice.
Dimitri Vorontzov

He is right on the money
Now, for the sad or FAT part. You need to format the drive as FAT32 to make it work both on PC and MAC but, and that is a big BUT, the max file size of any given file will be 4GB. I haven't treid other formats yet, like the journaled MAC OS extended, but I don't think that would work. We transfer our files through or own gigabit network so I never had to try it, other than FAT32 formatted SDHC cards.
