Delete Relationships via API

Can anyone tell me the correct method for deleting relationships within the repository using the API? It seems to me that deleting one end of a relationship would null-out the OTHER_RELATIONSHIP_END_REF value on the other end of the relationship and then the other end would have to be deleted separately but that doesnt seem to be the case. I have tried to retrieve the other end after deleting the first end and gotten a NO_DATA_FOUND exception. However, if I do not delete the other end then Designer throws an exception regarding a null value in the TO_ENTITY_REFERENCE property of the end I attempted to delete. I have taken steps to ensure the entities on both ends of the relationship are checked-out prior to performing the delete but I do not seem to be able to come up with a combination of deletes that completely removes the relationship.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think I've solved my own problem: deleting one end of the relationship causes the other end to be deleted automatically -- nice.

Purge Deleted Items via API

I have been looking around for away to programatically purge deleted items off of a page without going through the web interface after say a period of seven days. I searched forums and did find some older references to this becoming a supported feature. I am running application server 9.0.4. Does any one know if this functionality has been created or is planned on the next release(s). I found of course the unsuported package for doing this but would much rather code something that is supported.

Hmm. Something supported. Hmm.
How about using a Java Client like HTTPUnit, calling the UI page, and "pressing the button" programmatically? The Java program could also be scheduled for regular execution on the server system, and this would definitly not touch the unsupported portal inside.
Next question would then be - is it more probable that the UI changes in the next release, or the "unsupported" secret package? Who knows? But hey :) no risk, no fun. After all, developers live to code.
Just fantasizing, don't take it too serious.

Re-using Segments Created via API or Re-creating Every Time?

Hi All,
Wanted to get your thoughts on this...
We have been able to create Segments via the API, however, which way to go:
OPTION 1: Re-use Segment if there are no additions or deletions (changes) to the list? or
OPTION 2: Re-create the Segment every time via API.
In Option 1, we will still need to compare the existing list to the new list before deciding to re-use. However, the comparison will be done outside of Eloqua.
In Option 2, we may create a new list even though there are no changes but we will have the historical data and it will be easier to identify lists.
In both scenarios, data processing may affect performance.
For those who have done this or are familiar, what would you recommend?
Hope it's clear.
Pinging: TJ Fields-Oracle, 1065474, freejung
Thanks!!

In simpler terms of creating assets and storage, creating new segments each time should not be a problem. That said, the asset choosers might end up being slow if you're blowing past 100k which will ultimately result in a poor user experience for the marketers. Please see:
Eloqua Product Thresholds
Beyond that, you should also consider:
- Developers creating a process where segments and campaigns are being created automatically, and the campaigns being left active for a long time with segments are set to run every hour. For static lists, it wouldn't really result in heavy calculating but you can run into delayed contact entry into campaigns if you have hundreds of segments feeding hundreds of campaigns - each with heavy filtering. At best it would be pointless to run segments (on the canvas) hourly if the lists are static, and at worst you're making everything slower. That doesn't sound like a major concern here but something to keep in mind.
- API tools automatically updating segments which are currently referenced in live campaigns (again, running hourly segments). This means if you re-use assets for new campaigns there is a risk that they're being referenced by a currently live campaign and you end up adding the wrong contacts to the wrong flow. Since segments share a relationship to campaigns as their primary contact feeder, the API tools should only be updating the same segment asset with new contacts if the intent is to add those contacts to an existing campaign.
- Although keeping shared lists or segments untouched gives you some historical tracking, do not assume the contacts in those assets are exactly the same ones which were used when the campaign was launched. For example, if you delete the bouncebacks and unsubscribes after the campaign has run and go back to your segment, even if it is a simple segment with a local list, it will not contain the deleted contacts. For any serious auditing task, let the API tool archive what contacts were added to what segment. Then you can use Bulk 2.0 activity exports to keep a list of what contacts received what emails from various campaigns.

In which table the initial balances will be stored when loading via api

Hi all,
I am doing initial balances migration...
In which table the initial balances will be stored when loading though an api.. (pay_balance_upload.process).
First I have loaded data in to pay_balance_batch_headers and pay_balance_batch_lines tables..
Then called the api pay_balance_upload.process. and the data was reflecting correctly in front end.
But we need to reconcile the loaded data.. for that, can anyone please tell me in which the loaded balances would be stored..
I have identified two tables, pay_assignment_latest_balances
and pay_latest_balances
when I try to create a balance from frontend I can see the data in pay_latest_balances table..
But when I load via api I am not able to find it in any of these tables..
In addition to that can anyone please tell me when the data will be populated in pay_assignment_latest_balances and pay_latest_balances tables.
Awaiting for your help and quick response..
Thanks and Regards
Kishore

You have followed the correct process..As Vignesh said, you can use pay_balance_pkg.get_value to make sure you have the correct values uploaded but otherwise if you are able to see the values in the front end I wouldn't worry about the latest balances tables. These tables, as the name indicate, hold only the latest values and if a payroll (ran post the initial balance upload) has been rolled back, these are deleted since they are no longer available.
You can refer the below Metalink notes for a detailed explanation:

How to Link an Alternative Payee to a Supplier via API - R12

Hi,
I want to know how to link an alternative Payee to a Supplier via API.
Below is the business scenario which we require,
Supplier Creation:_
Vendor Name: Supplier A
Site1 : SITE 1
Site2 : SITE 2
Supplier Relationship Creation:_
Relationship is set to for 'Supplier A', SITE2 with
Remit To Supplier Name : Supplier A
Remit To Supplier Site : SITE 1
and marked as Primary.
Invoice Creation:_
Invoice Num: Tst_Inv_1
Tst_Inv_2
Tst_Inv_3
Tst_Inv_4
Scenario:_
Before creating the relationship between SITE1 & SITE2,
The payment for Invoice 'Tst_Inv_1' created under SITE 1 is made to SITE 1 as expected.
The payment for Invoice 'Tst_Inv_2' created under SITE 2 is made to SITE 2 as expected.
After creating the relationship between SITE1 & SITE2,
The payment for Invoice 'Tst_Inv_3' created under SITE 1 is made to SITE 1 as expected.
The payment for Invoice 'Tst_Inv_4' created under SITE 2 is made to SITE 1 as expected as the Remit-To Supplier name and Remit-To Supplier Site is set 'Supplier A' and SITE 1.
Is there anyway to achieve this scenario via API.
I found one API (IBY_EXT_PAYEE_RELSHIPS_PKG) which will just tell whether any relationship is existing between those two suppliers, But not to create new relationships.

Wher is deleted relationship history log in ServiceManager production database?

Hi,
I`m trying to use ServiceManger production database directly to track changes of reassigned users.
I`m able to get all relationship changes from EntityChangeLog, but those changes that represent "removed" user in history log (as seen in console on reassignment you have Remove for old assignee and Add for new one) do not have a matching record when
searched by RelationshipId in the dbo.Relationships table. Although the last added user from the entire history of SR can be tracked via that table and that relationship (active one) has matching record in dbo.Relationships table
It means that somewhere in the ServiceManager DB there is separate table for deleted relationships where I can find the ones that are in History referenced with action "Remove"
Question - which table is it? Or the structure is different and I`m not getting something right?
Egils Zonde from Technet

directly accessing the SQL database is
discouraged, and SDK or console access is always prefered. The structure is not intended to be human readable, and the results of any direct SQL read are sure to be unsupported. it'll probably work great, but I wouldn't design a process
around it, since it was never supposed to work in the first place no one will help you if it breaks.
as Raymond Chen likes to say,
It looks like you have half of a problem here, (i.e. you've already figured out that you need to cromulate the franbulator, now all you need to do is invent a method to cromlulate arbitrary franbulators). What is the real need? is this an auditing
need, like need to provide a history of deleted relationships to external audit? Or do you need to react to a relationship being deleted, and building a history seemed like the first step?

How to populate Values in Value Set via API or Interface

Dear frds:
i need to know is there any API or interface available to load thousands of values in particular valueset via API or Interface. I know Dataload is the alternative but i don't want to use that as the data is too much so its not feasible.
waiting for your response
Thanks.

There is no API for fnd_flex_values.
You will have to do a direct table insert (or call FND_FLEX_VALUES_PKG which does nothing but a direct table insert).

Hi All - I sent an sms using my iphone 5 - It is PAYG and had no money in it. (stupidly)
It tried to send as an SMS but gave the 'green button reject message'.(no money)
Step 2 in this stupidity - the phone keeps trying to send the deleted text via SMS and wont stop notifying me of this. Totally ruining the functionallity of my phone, and more so totally annoying. All I want to do is stop the constant re-trying of sending the deleted SMS.
Any ideas?
Many Thanks!

Hi, many thanks for your help - Pressing and holding sleep/reset hasn't worked, the msg is still continually reporting it is failing to send. I can restore to a previous version however I'll lose my paid apps. Is there any way to work around this. I'm only concerned about one app - Epocam HD which I purchased last month. My last backup on PC is 4 March 13 - before I bought the paid app - Itunes advises me I'll have to re-pay to get my apps (app) back. Even though it advises that icloud backed up this morning at 1:30 am (which although it is before the text, I cannot manually select this restore).
What a mess!

Process AR Receipts via API

Dear Friends,
I have below few querys related to AR Receipts process via API.
1)     Can we change the receipt status (APPROVED  CONFIRMED REMITTED  REVERSED/ CLEARED) through any API? Any one can explain how it is happening in real world?
2)     Can we change the receipts accounting through any API. I want to mean here, the receipts GL accounts are defaulted from Receipt Method & MISC receipt activity (in case of MISC receipt). Can we change those defaulted accounts through any API?
3)     In case of MISC receipt can we populate the “Paid By” field thought the MISC receipt creation API?
Thanks & Regards

Hi Muktech,
Currently there is no API for BPM 11g. There is an API for the human task but this will not be sufficient for completing a process activity.
Hope this helps.

Step1: sm30 Payroll Period & Year - Verified values
Step2: PO13 Clear position for Transfer , go to maintain position
In this step under Current Plan and a current period, I am selecting the Relationships option. Then I have selected Delete Infotypes. Then, Screen: Delete Relationships Delete

Hi Akshay,
Thanks a lot. This is a good option. But in this situation, I will not be able to able to use the program RPUTRBK0 as the 'Earliest RA Date' should be prior to the 'Earliest Masterdata Change Date' which is different for different Pnr. No.
So, I am actually thinking of putting the Earliest RA Date as the Date of Joining of the employee and for this have to run the LSMW.
Any suggestion from your side is appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,

Accessing the password store (PSTORE) via API

After having created portal users via API srcipt, we now would like to register users
for an external application programmatically.
I.e. we have a portal user and we know his account info ( user / passwd ) for the external application. Portal seems to store account infos for external applications in a "Password Store". So i am looking for an API to register portal users for external applications providing the known acount info,
i.e. sth. like
PSTORE.InsertExtAccount( PortalUser, ApplicationName, ExtUser, Extpasswd).
I had a look at http://www-sso.us.oracle.com/
but could not find API description or any hints when an API like that will go production.
Can anyone help me with that issue ?
Thanks a lot.

This is probably the wrong forum for this question - I would try the 9iAS Portal forum.

Creating worksets via API

Hi all!
Is it possible to create and change worksets dynamically via API? I have found documentation how to read pcd objects and their properties but not how to edit pcd objects:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/6112ecb7-0a01-0010-ef90-941c70c9e401
best regards
Michael

Hi Michael,
(1) To change workset attributes, get the IPcdContext object for the workset, then do something like this:
ModificationItem[] mods = new ModificationItem[1];
mods[0] = new ModificationItem(DirContext.REPLACE_ATTRIBUTE,new BasicAttribute("com.sap.portal.navigation.MergePriority", new Double("75")));
myPcdContext.modifyAttributes("",mods);
(2) To create, you could simply bind a new context to the folder you want to place the workset, and set all the attributes (most important, object class and name). This is a little tricky, and there may be side effects I haven;t thought of.
For iView, you would use the IiViews semantic object to create the iView, and this object would take care of almost everything for you. But there is no workset object.
Hope this helps.
Daniel
