Documents related to Customer Conversion in R12

Hi All,
I am a oracle finacncials functional guy.I am about to join a project where the client is going to implement 12R.
What would be the first stage of implementation in the functional perspective.
Are there any documents that answers queries like these.
Are there and links or documents that explain the dependencies of module setups in implementation.which explain detail steps for an implementation.
Thanks in advance.

In R12, most each module is having implemenation guide apart from user guide. These more than enough to have all information in place.

Hi Rohit ,
I had copied these .class & .xml files under Myclasses -> oracle.apps.icx and oracle.apps.po and oracle.apps.fnd was same which comes part of the standard OA tutorial.
I copied same under Myprojects as well.
you have to decompile the class file into java file and then place it in Myproject directory , also copy all dependency files like BC4J components , and then
try to run from Jdeveloper .
Alternatively you can get the entire ICX folder and zip it and add it via library .

R12 Customer Conversion by using TCA API OR Standard interface table ?

R12 Customer Conversion should be done via TCA API OR Standard interface table? Why ?
Which approach is more suitable kindly let us know your thoughts.

We have used interface tables just to have better control and reprocessing abilities. You may need to be little careful about the TCA tables.

Import PO Receipts using custom conversion.

I am importing PO Receipts through a custom conversion by populating the PO Interface tables and running the receving Transaction processor. But when I look for the receipt in the application, I cannot find it. The receipts correspond to existing Approved POs. The Tables are actually populated in the database, the Concurrent Program contain no errors, and the Processing Mode has been set to both Batch and Immediate. has anyone else experienced this issue? If so, were you able to find a resolution? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

IBR : Custom conversion

Hi,
I am trying to test the custom conversion with IBR.
As a first step I would like to be able to execute a java method before the PDF conversion of a MS Word document.
I have created a component with the following tables :
<@table CustomConversion_DocumentConversions@>
<table border=1><caption><strong>CustomConversion_DocumentConversions</strong></caption>
<tr>
<td>drConversion</td>
<td>drSteps</td>
<td>drDescription</td>
<td>drIsEnabledFlag</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>CheckLinks</td>
<td>CheckLinksFile</td>
<td>check link into doc files</td>
<td>TRUE</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>MSOffice</td>
<td>ExecuteSubconversion<$stepsToWebviewable="CheckLinksFile, MSOfficeToPostscript, PostscriptToPDF, ExecuteSubconversion<$subConversion='CreateThumbnail'$>", subConversion="UniversalConversion", supportsOIX="true", supportsXX="true", supportsOO="true", supportsIX="true"$></td>
<td>Conversion MS Office customisee</td>
<td>TRUE</td>
</tr>
</table>
<@end@>
<@table CustomConversion_ConversionSteps@>
<table border=1><caption><strong>CustomConversion_ConversionSteps</strong></caption>
<tr>
<td>drStep</td>
<td>drStepType</td>
<td>drStepAction</td>
<td>drStepParameters</td>
<td>drStepTimeoutName</td>
<td>drStepReport</td>
<td>drStepControlCodes</td>
<td>drStepDescription</td>
<td>drStepIsEnabled</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>CheckLinksFile</td>
<td>Code</td>
<td>oracle.customconversion.CheckLinksFileStep</td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td>!csCheckFiles</td>
<td>onErrorFail</td>
<td>Sample step that checks word files</td>
<td>TRUE</td>
</tr>
</table>
<@end@>
The "CheckLinksFile" step should be executed as it is added to the conversion steps of the MSOffice conversion.
However, it does not seem to be executed ...
Below, I copy the console output :
starting conversion: WORD; is subconversion: false
Script: TRUE
Evaluated to: TRUE
Script: ExecuteSubconversion<$subConversion="MSOffice",msOfficeApp="WORD"$>
Evaluated to: ExecuteSubconversion

Evaluated to: true
Script: PDFExport, ExecuteSubconversion<$subConversion='CreateThumbnail', supportsIX='true'$>
Evaluated to: PDFExport, ExecuteSubconversion
Starting step: PDFExport
Script: onErrorFail, producesRequiredWebviewable
The java method that should be executed does a System.out.println that should appear in that log ...
Does someone have an idea ?
Thank you,
Romain.

Hi Raphael,
Thank you for your answer.
I am just trying to do a simple task to see how I could customize the IBR conversions.
I have written a simple Java class with a method that just writes a comment into the conversion logs.
I've also made a component that adds lines into the conversions and steps tables to enable my custom conversion.
My java method should be executed before PDF conversion but I do not see the comment into the logs even if the conversion succeeded !
I don't know if I do not look at the right log files (IBR output into the IBR console) or if I missed something ...
Have you an idea ?
Did you use the same method to create custom conversions (java class + custom component) ?
Thank you,
Romain.

IBR on separate server - Custom Conversions

I have a custom conversion process that interupts the IBR process to do some work on a document before the rendering step. It works well while IBR is installed on the same server as the Content Server, but I am struggling to get it going when I move IBR onto a separate server.
When run on the same server, the "DocConverter.hda" contains the location of the original location of the document in the vault, but when on a separate server, everything points to a local folder. It appears that a pre-process copies in a copy of the document into a temp directory, and after the completion of the rendering, a post-process copies the pdf out to the weblayout folder. My process needs to know the location of the original document in the vault, but I cannot find any references to the pre/post processes in the documentation or even the logs.
Anyone know how this works?
I am running CS 7.5.1 and PDFConverter 7.6 on a Windows Server 2003 platform with a Sql Server 2005 back end.
Cheers,
Desmo

David is correct. Depending on exactly what you are changing (always should be in a component), you need to restart the Content Server first and then restart the refinery because of the way the conversion information gets passed to the refinery from the Content Server. If you are changing the top level file formats entry, you may need to check in a new version of the file vs just resubmitting the file to the refinery using the Repository Manger applet to make sure the right conversion gets called.
If you don't want to create this yourself, Fishbowl Solutions has a product called Native File Updater (part of the Document Automation Suite) that will likely work for you.

Manage PDF on relation designer-customer

Is there any solution (Adobe) to manage PDF#1, PDF#2, PDF#3, ........ documents on relation designer-customer.
Meaning...
step1: creating layout in indesign(.indd) CS6
step2: export to PDF#1 and send to review layout
step3: make modifications in indd accordind to received PDF#1 rewievs
step4: export to PDF#2 and send again to review layout
step5: make modifications in indd accordind to received PDF#2 rewievs
step6: export to PDF#3 and send again to review/approwe layout
step7: make additional modifications in indd
step8: export to PDF#4 and send again to approwe layout
step......... until customer finaly approwe layout and I send highres PDF to printing house.
Now I manualy add version number to PDF filename prior sending to review, but this job became confused as number of layout modifications increase.
Acrobat X pro "send to rewiew" platform do not handle this kind of workflow, because after every review I make new PDF(export from indd) and all prewious review track is lost.
Othervise "send to review" works fine if I collect comments from many reviewers of single PDF.
Many thanks, Klemen

Sorry, but no. It used to be possible via CS Review, which was part of InDesign CS5. That has been closed down.
Something similar may come along in the future but I'm not promising anything.

Customer Conversion-"Incorrect Code combination id for Receivable account"

Hello experts!!
I have created the customer conversion program the customers.
All customers are getting loaded into the base table properly as expected . But for few customer it is throwing the below error:
"Incorrect Code combination id for Receivable account"
I have checked all the setups related things upto my knowledge everything is perfect.
Could anyone help me out what would be the cause and how can i fix this error.
Waiting for your valueable reply..
Thanks,
Thiru.

As per the message, identify one of the failed records and retrieve the code combination used. From there you can validate that a) the id exists for the LE on the gl code combinations table and b) that it passes whatever cross validation rules are enabled for the organization.

Session broker and custom conversion manager

I'm having some problem using session broker and a custom conversion manager. I just moved from using single session to using a session broker in the sessions.xml. I'm using a custom conversion manager as shown in this tech. tips URL
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/toplink/technical/tips/customconversion/index.html
Here's my conversion manager set up code -
public class JpmiConversionManagerSetup extends SessionEventAdapter
* During the pre-login event the new MyConversionManager must be installed
* @see oracle.toplink.sessions.SessionEventAdapter#preLogin
* @param event
public void preLogin(SessionEvent event) {
ConversionManager cm= new JpmiConversionManager();
ConversionManager.setDefaultManager(cm);
event.getSession().getLogin().getPlatform().setConversionManager(cm);
My session broker manages 2 sessions. In sessions.xml for one session I have the <event-listener-class> entry where I need some conversion, another session I don't have any such entry as I don't need any conversion.
Now when I try to run a named query using session broker the conversion part blows up, throws a ConversionException. Any idea? Do I need to configure the session broker instead of session in the preLogin or anything like that?

I think sessions editor is not available in 10.1.3dp4 yet. So I have to write the sessions.xml by hand. But the parser throwing me an error saying that <session-broker> is not allowed in sessions.xml.
SessionLoaderExceptions:
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: <Line 41, Column 18>: XML-24534: (Error) Element 'session-broker' not expected.

Templates and document relative linking.

Im trial using DW cs5 and find that if i make a template and then
use that template to make pages it doesnt make document relative links.
Instead it makes links relative to my local drive. ie c/documents/foo.
Even if I have the template file with document relative links, when I make the page it turns into local relative and to upload this to a server wont work.
Am I missing something ?
I can figure it out.
CS4 did this fairly easy.
Cheers

I dont know how to fix this.
My site is set to relative document linking and the template is linked that way but when I make a new page from template it reverts to local linking.
instead of ../../ images , I get c://documents/ etc.
I dont know whats going on.

Document-relative Template paths in templated files?

Is it possible to make Dreamweaver use document-relative
paths to parent Templates rather than root-relative? My site
definition is setup so such that the local folder is the root of
the web site. However, on the server the site is actually in a sub
folder, so the real web root is not the same as this web sites
root. So, something like this:
Local root folder = C:\...\Project Name\www2\
(Local templates folder = C:\...\Project
Name\www2\Templates\)
HTTP Address =
http://www.mysite.com/clients/client-site/
(Remote templates folder =
http://www.mysite.com/clients/client-site/Templates/)
The end user will be using Contribute to manage the content
on this site, so I'm using Templates to control some aspects of the
site. My problen is that the path back to the Template is being
written as a root-relative link:
InstanceBegin template="/Templates/navigation-sub.dwt.php"
When I then connect to the site using Contribute and try to
edit a page, I get an error saying that it can't find the template
(which is true because the template is actually in
"/clients/client-site/Templates/navigation-sub.dwt.php" and not
"/Templates/navigation-sub.dwt.php"). I have the Links Relative to
Document option checked in my site definition, but that appears to
only apply to regular links and not paths to Template files.
Murray had mentioned some technotes that addressed this, and
I think I found the ones he was thinking of, but they seemed to
only address regular links and it wasn't clear if the Template
paths were affected by the solution (which was to set the Links
Relative to Document option which I mentioned above).
So is it possible to tell DW to use document relative paths
to its template files? I know you're thinking "Why not just create
the local folder with the client and client-name folders," but this
wouldn't work as the site will eventually be moved to the clients
own website where the site files really will be in the site root.
This is the whole reason for using document relative files in the
first place. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

OK, apparently I'm not explaining myself enough here because
you guys keep giving me the same answer to something that I've
already said isn't a viable solution. Let me explain in greater
detail why just updating the local folder structure won't work.
Let's assume that I did do what you suggest. My local folder
could technically stay the same but I'd add two additional
directory levels ('clients' and 'client-site') to match the site
structure on my testing server. I then move all of the existing
files into the lower 'client-site' directory *except* for the
Templates folder because DW likes that to be at the "root" of the
"site". So now assume my local site looks something like this:
C:\...\Project Name\www2\ (DW would consider this the "root"
of the site)
.....clients\
..........client-site\ (i'll refer to this as the client root
for simplicity sake)
...............articles\
....................doc_a.html
...............images\
....................img_a.jpg
...............index.html
.....Templates\
..........client-template.dwt
If DW is writing the Paths back to the Template file using
site-relative paths then file index.html in the client root (i.e.
/clients/client-site/) would have the path back to template
client-template.dwt written as follows:
InstanceBegin template="/Templates/client-template.dwt"
Also assume that img_a.jpg is the client logo that will be
used on all of the pages and so it is in a protected part of the
template. The document-relative path from the template
client-template.dwt to the image would be:
<img src="../clients/client-site/images/img_a.jpg">
Of course since my site is defined to use document-relative
links then this path would resolve to just "../images/img_a.jpg"
for index.html.
OK, so far so good. I upload all of this to my testing
server, give my client a connection key for Contribute and let them
test away. They love it (naturally) and want to move everything to
production. This is where your suggested solution falls apart.
In order for the site to continue to work as-is I would have
to copy the entire directory tree (/client/client-site/etc) to the
clients web site, so what should be www.client-site.com/index.html
becomes www.client-site.com/clients/client-name/index.html. I also
have to copy over the Templates folder, stripping out any other
Templates that might be in there (my own site template for
example). Not only is this cumbersome, but the client hates the
fact that there are all these subdirectories in their URL (as
finicky as clients are) and they think it is unprofessional. My
whole purpose for developing using document relative links is so
that no matter where I plop the site, it will work as intended.
OK, the first fox for this that comes to mind is to take just
the site files (so everything under /clients/client-name/) and plop
that into the root folder on production. All of the existing files
should work fine since they use document-specific links. However,
the client still needs to use Contribute to edit these documents so
I have to copy over the Template folder. I can put that into the
root since all of the paths back to the template are root-relative,
right? Wrong - because all of the links in the template still point
to the files as if they were in '/clients/client-name/', which they
no longer are. So any new files based on the template will contain
broken links, and any updates to the existing files might also
result in broken links.
So then I need to keep two versions of the site? And if I
make a change to the template on the testing site, I then have to
reconcile the changes to the production version? Way too much. And
all of this would be irrelevant if I could just use
document-specific links back to my templates.
Does it make sense now why updating the site structure isn't
as optimal of a solution as you are making it out to be.
