Customer Interface vs HZ API

Gurus,
I need your help in Customer Conversion (R12). I tested the Customer Open Interface (ra_customers_interface, ra_customer_profiles_interface, ra_contact_phones_interface). Everything goes through fine into HZ Tables.
But I want some more Customer Master fields to be passed from Legacy system.
Eg:
- Account Description / Name (hz_cust_accounts)
- SalesPerson (Acct Site Level - hz_cust_account_sites_all)
- Order Management Attributes like PRICE_LIST (Account Level or at Acct Site Level)
We have the option to pass DEMAND_CLASS_CODE (one of the OM attributes) but not the other OM attributes like PRICE_LIST etc.
What would be the best approach to do conversion in this case ?
- Use "Customer Interface" first and then use HZ APIs to update the specific fields
- Directly use HZ APIs to upload all the attributes. (I am not comfortable with this as it
needs much more effort making sure to populate all relevant tables)
Am I missing something ? Could you please provide your suggestions.
Thanks,
Dinesh

Dinesh,
In my opinion, unless you are comfortable that you know entire TCA architecture, I do not suggest to use the indivdual pieces of code to convert the modules like Parties, Accounts, relationships and so on. One specific example is, Credit Holds at the customer sites. If you check this, it inserts a row into a OM table oe_hold_sources (ofcourse this is obsolete in R12).
So you can use the customer interface with updates later.
One idea is this:
Use all the Site_use_attributes (unless you are using them to store your own values) to store these values like price_list_id, order_type_id and convert them using the Customer Interface into attributes. At the end of the program (request set) your program fires and updates all the site uses with respective values in the attributes to the destination columns and wipes off the attributes so that they can be used in the future. Also you can insert the values into an audit table.
Thanks

Which one to use - Customer Interface or TCA APIs? And why?

Hi,
Please let me know the answer for the following questions. I have a legacy system in 11.0.3 (which does not have the TCA architecture) and the customers have to be moved to R12. I could get the details in different flat files for the import from source system. Which is the approach I should use?
1) What does customer interface does NOT do which the TCA APIs can do?
2) Doesn’t the customer interface use the TCA API within it?
3) Is it better to use APIs than customer interface? If so, why and what are the criterions I should look for for deciding on what to use?
Highly appreciate the help.
Thanks,
Dinesh

For customer interface, just right a program to validate the source data and insert into open interface table, submit the import program and view output for errors. Much easy to maintain than API.
API need a certain level of programming and you will need to investigate for all the flow of creating a customer and their corresponding create procedure to call..
Hope this help,

How to import order from Interface table using Api Order Import

Hi All
I am using oracle EBus R12.
I was working in Data migration in Order management.
I have manually entered data in Interface table ie (oe_header_iface_all) and (oe_lines_iface_all)
And i have given the order_source_id as 2 and order_source as COPY.
And after that i ran the concurrent program with parameter as COPY but the concurrent program does'nt picks the order in the interface.
Can any one please tell the steps in OM.
Thanks & Regards

Custom PL/SQL API that inserts the data into a custom interface table.

We are developing a custom Web ADI integrator for importing suppliers into Oracle.
The Web ADI interface is a custom PL/SQL API that inserts the data into a custom interface table. We have defined the content, uploader and an importer. The importer is again a custom PL/SQL API that will process the records inserted into the custom table and updates the STATUS column of the custom interface table. We want to show the status column back on the spreadsheet.
Defined the 'Document Row' import rule and added the rows that would identify the unique record.
Errored row import rule, we are using a SELECT * from custom_table where status<>'Success' and vendor_name=$param$.vendor_name
The source of this parameter is import.vendor_name
We have also defined an Error lookup.
After the above setup is completed, we invoke the create document and click on Oracle->Upload.
The records are getting imported, but the importer program is failing with An error has occurred while running an API import. The ERRORED_ROWS step 20003:ER_500141, parameter number 1 must contain the value BIND in attribute 1.'

The same issue.
Need help.

SQL to register custom Interface

Steps to register a custom interface are given below.
1) Assign iSetup super user role.
2) Create Function
3) Create Menu
4) Create Grant
5) Register Interface.
Since it consumes good amount some time, it may not be required in development or UT environments. I have provided the query that would directly register interface with iSetup schema without having to go through the above flow.
Also, this provides a chance for customer who are on 11.5.10.2CU to create and register customer interfaces with iSetup.
Please note that this short cut must be used only in development and UT environments.

Problem while creating a custom document using JAVA API in the current Folder

I am trying to create an instance of a custome type from the API. I have created a custom type via XML. I have associated a JSP with the custom type thru iFS manager. This jsp provides an interface for the user to enter various data. On submit I call some other jsp also loaded into the /ifs/webui/jsps which calls a method in the java class to create an instance of the above mentioned type. This instance needs to be created in the current directory and not in the home directory of the user. I have written a java program which when run from JDeveloper connects to the repository and creates the object, but not as a foldered object. If I load this class into custom_classes directory, I get an exception. I am attaching the code also here which does the actual processing.

Urgent: custom interface for HRMS module

Hi All,
We are creating custom interface for deducting some mismatch sales amount from respective employee's salary in HRMS module.
So what are the interface table or API I have to use for employee’s salary detection process?
I’m very new to HRMS module….
Can anybody provide any documents regarding this process?
Regards,

Review with the functional implementation team how will be this deduction setup to identify what information you'll need to upload. You'll need to use Batch Element Entry (BEE) interface for it. As mentioned, review iRep as well as HRMS implementatio guide for more detailed information.

Customer Interface - hz_cust_accounts.account_name

I am working on customer interface of R12.
I want to populate the account description in the interface table.
What is the table used for this.
The base table used to capture account description is hz_cust_accounts and the column is account_name.
Could any let me know the corresponding interface table and column for this one.

You first assign a contact to a party at the party level, which will populate the HZ_ORG_CONTACTS and HZ_RELATIONSHIPS tables. You can then associate the contact to a customer account via HZ_CUST_ACCOUNT_ROLES.
My assumption is that you are using API to establish the association. Otherwise, you can use the provided UI, such as the Customer form to create a contact directly for a customer account.

Customer interface

Hi,
When iam trying to load customers using HZ API,the data is successfuly getting loaded in the hz base tables ,but iam not able to query the customer in customer screen.Example i loaded a party of type organization and i was able to query the party in hz_parties table ,but was not able to search the party in customers screen selecting type as organization.

Custom Interface using Entity Objects

Right now, we can only define cutom interfaces using the Generic Loader. I was wondering if this functionality is going to be extended so that users can define custom interfaces using EOs instead of lct files.

Hi Mugunthan,
I have the exact same requirement, to know a little bit more BC4J Support, since we want to use iSetup to control the load of our Receivables Custom Database Tables also. I have opened an SR and they have forwarded to the Receivables Team, which i do not believe will help us, since our need is to know technically the iSetup Custom Interface process for BC4J. Can you point me out some documentation on this? my e-mail contact is [email protected]

Custom report using KM API Error

Hi All,
I have to create a report using KM API. i got the custom report using KM API from sdn and I imported into my NWDS. While i compile it, it is giving me this error.
"The project cannot be build because the classpath for com.sap.netweaver.bc.rf.common.exception.ResourceException is not found."
I have imported all the required jar files.
How can i rectify this error? Could anyone help me out in this issue?
Regards,
Divya

Hi Divya,
> I have imported all the required jar files
First, I don't know what you mean with "imported" - in any case, you should not put the JARs into your project but just reference these.
Also, obviously you have not referenced all the required jar files; ResourceException is part of bc.rf.common_api.jar, which is part of portal application com.sap.netweaver.bc.rf, at least for NW2004s.
Please use the ClassLocator tool (search the WebLogs for this term to get some initial instruction) to avoid such questions in the future. It will make your life much easier.
Hope it helps

Use FNDLOAD, it's the only way.
There are 2 seperate scripts, 1 for the Integrator and 1 for Layout.
FNDLOAD apps/<pw> 0 Y DOWNLOAD $BNE_TOP/patch/115/import/bneintegrator.lct <your name>.ldt BNE_INTEGRATORS INTEGRATOR_ASN="XXX" INTEGRATOR_CODE="<your code>"

Creating custom interface panels in LabVIEW for use in VBAI.

Greetings everyone,
I hope that someone can give me some insight with the following problem. I have on my bench a 1742 Smart Camera and a computer loaded with VBAI 3.6 and LabVIEW 8.6 Pro (all the latest and greatest stuff). Up to this point, everything was going along smoothly until I attempted to use my own custom inspection interface panel in VBAI.
I first created a simple test panel in LabVIEW with a few controls/indicators and saved it in version 8.5 (as required by VBAI 3.6). But when I tried to select this panel in the Configure Inspection Interface dialog in VBAI, I get the message "There is no VI at the path you specified" (even though the VI is clearly there). Perplexed, I visited this website and found others that have run into a similar problems, but apparently no solutions were found.
Looking into this further, I did the following:
1) I downloaded the image_with_switch_control.vi from here. NOTE: File size is 51,732 bytes.
2) I opened VBAI, verified that I could select this VI in VBAI's Configure Inspection Interface panel with no problems, then closed VBAI.
3) I opened this "known good" VI in LabView 8.6, verified that it was saved in LabView 8.5, and then saved it to LabVIEW 8.5 using "Save for Previous Version...". NOTE: File size is 50,500 bytes.
4) I tried to load this new/same Ver 8.5 VI in VBAI's Configure Inspection Interface panel again and got the message "There is no VI at the path you specified".
Now if I open a known good Ver 8.5 VI in LabVIEW 8.6, make no changes, and save the very same VI back in Ver 8.5, I should have no issues choosing it as an interface panel in VBAI. But this is not the case. Am I missing something or is there is a wrench in the works somewhere?
I was really expecting to have the ability to create my own custom interface between the computer and camera (as cited in the documentation), so if anyone can point out a solution, I'd greatly appreciate it.
