Exporting/importing Responsibility-level personalizations

Hello,
Suppose on one instance I have done some personalizations for responsibility A and I want to apply these personalizations on another instance, but there is no responsibility A on another instance, but instead its name is B.
Does export/import mechanism has support for this kind of requirement.

Yora,
Does export/import mechanism has support for this kind of requirement.No, they don't have any functionality like this.
For much more information on this refer http://apps2fusion.com/apps/14-fwk/215-move-oa-framework-personalizations-from-one-environment-to-another
//Note Taken from Above Link -- Anil Passi
You have done responsibility level personaliation for OAF Pages, for this resp.
Issue:- When you extract the personalizations, the directory path of extracted personalizations will contain the responsibility_id
However, the same responsibility when created on TEST SYSTEM might be allocated a responsibility_id of 1088.
Hence, you referring to ***** in notes above, you will have to rename the directory from 1032 to 1088. This can be scripted too in Unix.
To overcome this issue:-If you wish to perform responsibility level personalizations against a custom responsibility, first create
this responsibility on production, and get this cloned to other environments. Alas, such forward planning rarely happens in projects.
Blame this on Oracle’ design. They could have easily used RESPONSIBILITY_KEY/APPLICATION_ID in the path, instead of using RESPONSIBILITY_ID. Regards,

  • How to migrate 'responsibility' level personalizations?

    Hi all,
    We have done a set of personalizations at responsibility level in our UAT instance.
    We have no problem migrating the 'site' level personalization. We use the 'Functional Administrator' -> Import/Export utility.
    But, We find that the responsibility level personalizations are stored under a folder hierarchy as below:
    Eg:
    Responsibility: XXRecruitment Manager
    Responsibilty Key: XXRECRUIT_MAN
    Responsibility ID: 50977
    Personalization is exported in this folder:
    /oracle/apps/per/irc/vacancy/webui/customizations/responsibility/50977/RectrDetsRN
    It is stored under a folder '50977' corresponding to the responsibility id of the responsibility that we personalized.
    Our problem is, the responsibility id's and responsibility key's are different in UAT and production instances:
    Responsibility: XXRecruitment Manager 01
    Responsibilty Key: XXRECRUIT_MAN_01
    Responsibility ID: 50900
    Now, how to migrate such personaliations? Our client have personalized atleast 25 pages at various responsibilty levels. Please suggest a suitable way to migrate these personalizations.
    thanks in advance,
    Hem

    Hem,
    We had the similar discussion in past once, but I guess the user didn't update the final results. As far as I think, 'Functional Administrator' -> Import/Export utility should be handling this scenario.
    Did you try it atleast on one such responsibility level personalization?

  • Function level personalizations

    Hi,
    I want to know how can we export the function level personalizations from one instance and import them to any other instance. This is very urgent. Please let me know as soon as possible.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Sandhya

    If you are on 11.5.10 CU2 then you can use the import/export option in the Functional Administrator responsibility. If you are on CU1 or earlier versions then you need to use XMLImporter and XMLExporter commands in the middle tier to get it. If you have a jdev on your local then you can use th import.bat and export.bat from the jdev/bin folder to do that.
    Example for XMLImporter and XMLExporter can be found in the personalization guide.

  • Personalization at Responsibility Level

    Hi ,
    I am trying to personalize the display of "Worklist Notification" in Home page based on the responsibility of the user logged in . I have choosen the reqd. responsibility in the responsibility context chooser and did personalize the "Stack Layout: Notifications Worklist Function" at responsibility level. Everytime I login the context of the responsibility changes and my personalization does not work . If I manually go and change the responsibility context to the responsibility I want I am able to see the "Worklist Notification" list .
    I would like to know if there is way I could make sure that the responsibility context does not change everytime a user logs in . Any replies will be greatly appreciated .
    Thanks,
    Chandu

    Hi,
    Sorry my mistake, if your responsibility is not the context it cannot pick up the XX_WORKLIST Permission from your Menu. You must use Functional Administrator Grants instead,
    Try this:
    delete your XX_WORKLIST function from the menu and from the system
    1) Functional Administrator > Permissions
    Create new permission:
    XX_WORKLIST
    2) Functional Administrator > Permission Sets
    Create new permission set:
    XX_WORKLIST_PS
    - add the XX_WORKLIST permission
    3) Functional Administrator > Create Grant
    Name: XX_WORKLIST_GRANT
    Grantee Type: Group of Users
    Grantee: 'Your Responsibility' (e.g. System Administrator - FND_RESP|SYSADMIN|SYSTEM_ADMINISTRATOR|STANDARD)
    Operating Unit: leave blank
    Responsibility: leave blank
    NEXT
    Permission Set: XX_WORKLIST_PS
    SAVE
    - you will have now granted the XX_WORKLIST permission to any user with 'System Administrator'
    4) Functional Administrator > Core Services > Caching Framework > Global Configuration > Clear Cache
    Clear the Cache
    Personalise your worklist (e.g. Row Layout: Home Content Row) at Site level with SPEL:
    ${oa.FunctionSecurity.XX_WORKLIST}
    I have tested this in my 11.5.10 environment and it worked. All users with 'System Administrator' see the worklist, all others do not.

  • Can i do client export import between systems with different patch levels

    we want to do a client export import between two systems. As I understand the patch levels should be the same in both for this to happen..
    But right now I am in a situation where time is a big constrant. The basis patch level is on par. But the rest are not. Can I do  client import successfully at this stage.

    The only thing that may stop it working could be additional functionality between the systems.
    I work on XI and there is a huge difference between SP12 and SP15.  We were able to do the transports between systems, but as Dev was patched before QA, and the transport was reliant on standard settings not being available, it still went though, but we had to transport it again after applying SP15 to QA.
    Again, it probably depends on what System you have running on Netweaver...

  • Personalize Page: How to add an item to Responsibility level

    It seems not possible to add an item to a page on responsibility level through page personalization.
    Therefore, I went Site level and it allows me to add an item.  I was thinking I may hide (rendered=false) this item on site level and then personalize this item on the Responsibility level to show (rendered=true).
    However, I'm not able to see this item on the Responsibility level. did I miss something?
    Thanks

  • URGENT:Copying Personalizations from Site Level to Responsibility Level

    Hi All,
    We have created quite a many Personalizations at the Site level for our Instance. Now we release that if we have them created at the responsibility level we would have more flexibility.
    Can any of you let me know in case , there is any way to move the personalizations created at the site level to Responsibility level?
    Thanks,
    Priya

    Hi Mani / Anil,
    Thanks for your responses.
    I copied the site level personalization Tags from the site level xml document and put it in the Responsibility level document and removed those personalizations from site level as well and it is workign fine.
    Just I have one more question to this. Going forward how do I create the items ( Create Personalized Items) at the Responsibility level.
    B'coz when I create a Stack Layout Item , I can only create it at site level. But if I want this to be available only to some Resposinbilities and not to all then how do I do it?
    Thanks,

  • How to read responsibility level profile in forms personalization r12.1.3

    All, I have one custom profile option at responsibility level. I am wondering if I can read that value in WHERE CLAUSE of a WHEN_VALIDATE_RECORD trigger?
    I am trying to access responsibility level profile option using "${ps.up_prior_gl_period_allow.VALUE}". But, it doesn't seem to work.

  • Modify view object at responsibility level

    Hello,
    One of our business requirements is to change the drop-down values for several list of values based on the responsibility the user is logged in with. For example when creating a new application, the LOV 'Country' needs to list certain countries under the responsibility A and other countries under the responsibility B.
    In order to accomodate this requirement, I have created an extension to the VO oracle.apps.igs.utilities.server.countriesVO that can be found on the create application page. I have tried two different approaches:
    Approach 1:
    I have modified the SQL code and used the import utility jpximport to enable the substitution and everything works fine EXCEPT that the substitution is done at the site level, not the responsibility level. There are no options to enable the substitution at the responsibility level.
    I tried changing the MDS repository. After initial substitution, the query
    BEGIN jdr_utils.printDocument('/oracle/apps/igs/utilities/server/customizations/site/0/CountriesVO'); END;
    returns the XML for personalization (substitution). I deleted that entry using
    BEGIN jdr_utils.deleteDocument('/oracle/apps/igs/utilities/server/customizations/site/0/CountriesVO'); END;
    and used the import utility to import the XML at the responsibility level. the query
    BEGIN jdr_utils.printDocument('/oracle/apps/igs/utilities/server/customizations/responsibility/23331/CountriesVO'); END;
    returns the correct XML but the extension doesnt appear on the screen.
    Do you know what I am missing and if it is possible to enable substitutions at the responsibility level (not site level) at all?
    Approach 2:
    I am still implementing the View Object extension but I am modifying the SQL code to handle the responsibility:
    Original SQL Code:
    SELECT territory_short_name,territory_code
    FROM fnd_territories_vl
    Updated SQL Code:
    SELECT territory_short_name,territory_code
    FROM fnd_territories_vl
    WHERE fnd_global.resp_name <> 'A' OR fnd_global.resp_name IS NULL
    UNION ALL
    SELECT description as territory_short_name,territory_code
    FROM fnd_territories_vl
    WHERE fnd_global.resp_name = 'B'
    ORDER BY 1
    I used the import utility jpximport to enable the substitution and everything works fine EXCEPT that the View Object gets cached and the SQL statement is only executed the first time the object is called. If I clear the cache and I log in using the responsibility A then the countries are correctly displayed. If I login using the responsibility B then the countries for responsibility A are displayed. Same occurs if I clear the cache, login using responsibility B first then switch to responsibility A. Countries for responsibility B are always displayed.
    We need to find a way for the SQL to be re-executed every time this object is called. This object should not be cached. Is that possible at all?
    Thank you for your help
    Benoit

    Substitution of VO & AM will can be done only at site level. However controller extension can be personalized/substituted at any level, which includes responsibility level also.

  • Export/Import Process in the UI for Variations Content Translation is Generating CMP Files with No XML

    We have a SharePoint 2010 Publishing Website that uses variations to deliver contain to multiple languages. We are using a third-party translation company to translate publishing pages. The pages are
    exported using the  export/import using the UI process described here: "http://blogs.technet.com/b/stefan_gossner/archive/2011/12/02/sharepoint-variations-the-complete-guide-part-16-translation-support.aspx".
    Certain sub-sites are extremely content-intensive. They may contain many items in the Pages library as well as lists and other sub-sites. 
    For some sub-sites (not all), the exported CMP file contains no XML files. There should be a Manifest.XML, Requirements.XML, ExportSettings.XML, etc., but there are none. After renaming the CMP file
    to CAB and extracting it, the only files it contains are DAT files.
    The only difference I can see between the sub-sites that generate CMP files with no XML files is size. For example, there is one site that is 114 MB that produces a CMP file with no XML files. Small
    sites do not have this problem. If size is the problem, then I would think the process would generate an error instead of creating a single CMP file that contains only DAT files. However, I do not know exactly what the Export/Import Process in the UI is doing.
    This leads to two questions:
    1.
    Does anyone know why some CMP files, when renamed to *.CAB and extracted, would not contain the necessary XML files?
    2. Second, if exporting using the UI will not work, can I use PowerShell? I have tried the Export-SPWeb, but the Manifest.XML does not contain translatable
    content. I have not found any parameters that I can use with Export-SPWeb to cause the exported CMP to be in the same format as the one produced by the Export/Import process in the UI.
    As a next step, we could try developing custom code using the Publishing Service, but before doing this, I would like to understand why the Export/Import process in the UI generates a CMP that
    contains no XML files.
    If no one can answer this question, I would appreciate just some general help on understanding exactly what is happening with the Export/Import Process -- that is, the one that runs when you select
    the export or import option in the Site Manager drop down. Understanding what it is actually doing will help us troubleshoot why there are no XML files in certain export CMPs and assist with determining an alternate approach.
    Thanks in advance
    Kim Ryan, SharePoint Consultant kim.ryan@[no spam]pa-tech.com

    I wanted to bump this post to see about getting some more responses to your problem. I'm running into the same problem as well. We're running a SharePoint 2010 site and are looking at adding variations now. The two subsites with the most content take a
    while to generate the .cmp file (one to two minutes of the browser loading bar spinning waiting on the file). Both files are generated with a lot of .dat files but no .xml files. I was thinking like you that it must be a size issue. Not sure though. Did you
    ever happen to find a solution to this problem?

  • How do you produce both Customs Export & Import documentation in an STO?

    Hello All -
    How do you produce both Customs Export & Import documentation in an STO scenario? For instance, if a company would like to create a STO in SAP to move materials from one plant to another and would like to produce both the Export & Import paperwork in GTS, what documents would be needed in R/3 to make this possible?
    Would the following be needed, or is there some other way?
    - STO
    - Outbound Delivery & F8 Invoice to generate the Customs Shipment in GTS for the Export documentation
    - Inbound Delivery to generate the Customs Declaration in GTS for the Import documentation

    Thanks Sameer -
    Yes, for the Import documentation, I think we will be declaring prior to Goods Receipt, so we will first use the Inbound delivery, and then the GR document later on once the materials have been received. (I believe you and I were talking about some of this in another thread actually.) Thank you for confirming this.
    As for the Note, I have also seen this - but thought that this was to more or less give visibility to the sending plant up-front at STO of what export licenses might be needed. (According to the note, currently they would only be able to check if licenses were needed at the outbound delivery, and not on the PO)
    Per the note: "Given a Stock Transport Purchase Order scenario: Plant A in Germany issues a STO PO against vendor plant US10 in the US. GTS looks at the PO in terms of importing from the US (departure country) coming into Plant A in Germany and performs compliance checks. Meanwhile, exporting plant US10 only has visibility at outbound delivery creation to see if am Export License is needed. Exporting plant US10 may want to know if they need a license to the country of destination, in this case Germany, at STO PO creation."
    However with the proper country-level export/import activation of the legal regulations, I believe that you can still have the STO check export-related licenses even though it is mapped to GTS as IMPORD. I have done some testing on this and it appears to work (you just need to ensure that you are activating the relevant countries for export/import properly in the legal regulation, and you can have both export & import documents check the same legal regulation and deliver the correct license determination). I was just wondering if you had any experience with this that was contrary to what I have found, or if there is something you think I am missing..
    Thanks

  • Backing up using Export/Import & ITL, XML file formats

    Using Windows XP I have reset my default Itunes folder to c:\Itunes (too big for MY Documents\...). then copied everything from c:\itunes to an external hard drive. (I didn't realize the ITL file doesn't move and therefore I may not have a good backup of it.
    Starting with a new computer, installed Itunes, then did a 'File, Add folder to library (with copy option)' from the external hard drive. This restored all my songs but I lost playlists, play count & my ratings.
    I then did an import from library.xml, this restored the playlists, but still no play count or ratings.
    My question is
    1) IS there a better way to backup from Hard Drive to Hard drive? (Maybe all I really needed was the ITL file also?)
    2) what is the format of the ITL file (I am a systems programmer, would appreciate a URL that has detail), what (hopefully free) utility would edit it?
    3) a high level view of the XML file (I know XML)
    4) Where is there complete documentation on Itunes ( a detailed description of export/import would be appreciated)

    Here's my old standard answer for this topic - hope you can find something useful from it ...
    iTunes Music Library.itl & iTunes Music Library.xml must stay where you found them.
    To move your music files, use iTunes to do the work. Don't manually drag them around yourself.
    • change the library location in iTunes Advanced Preferences tab, the new location does not need to exist; iTunes will create it. The new location should be empty of music files. This just sets the location for any new files brought into iTunes; it does not affect any existing files in the iTunes library.
    • Select iTunes Advanced menu, Consolidate Library command. This copies all iTunes music files to the new library location. Playlist & Ratings data is preserved!
    • After it completes (assuming no errors), quit iTunes and get rid of the original files from your previous location. The xml & itl files must remain in the old location, the library location setting does not control the location of these two critical files.

  • Migrate Database- Export/Import

    Hi,
    I need to migrate an Oracle database 9i from Sun Solaris to Linux. The final target database version would be 11g.
    Since this is a 9i database, I see that we have only option of export and database. We have around 15 schemas.
    I have some queries related to it.
    1. If I perform a export with full=y rows=y, Does it export Sys, System Schema objects also?
    2. Can we perform export in Oracle 9i and use datapump import on targert 11g?
    3. What is the ebst approach - a) to perform schema by schema export or b) to perform a full database export with exp / file=xxx.dmp log=xxxx.log full=y?
    Since there is a database version different I dont want to touch sys, system schema objects.
    Appreciate your thoughts.
    Regards
    Cherrish Vaidiyan

    Hi,
    Let me try to answer some of these questions you queried for:
    1. If I perform a export with full=y rows=y, Does it export Sys, System Schema objects also?Export won't export sys objects. For example, there are tables in sys, like obj$ that contain information for other metadata objects, like scott.emp, etc. This is not exported becuase when scott.emp is exported, the data from obj$ is essentially exported that way. When the dumpfile is imported and scott.emp is recreated, the data in sys.obj$ will be restored through the create table statement. As far as the SYSTEM schema is concerned, some objects are exported and some are not. There are tables in system that contain information about queues, jobs, etc. These will probably not make any sense on the target system so those types of tables are excluded from the export job. Other objects make sense to export/import so those are done. This is all figured out in the internals of export/import. Thre are other schemas that are not exproted. Some that I can think of are DMSYS, ORDSYS, etc. This would be for the same reason as SYS.
    2. Can we perform export in Oracle 9i and use datapump import on targert 11g?No, the dumpfiles are formatted differently. If you use exp, then you must use imp. If you use expdp, then you must use impdp. You can do exp on 9i and imp on 11g with the dumfile that was created on 9i.
    3. What is the ebst approach - a) to perform schema by schema export or b) to perform a full database export with exp / file=xxx.dmp log=xxxx.log full=y?This is case by case decision. It depends on what you want. If you want the complete database moved, then I would personally think that a full=y is what you would want to do. If you just did schema exports, then you would never export the tablespaces. This would mean that you would have to create the tablespaces on the source system before you ran imp. There are other objects that are not exported when a schema level export is performed that are exproted when a full is performed. This information can be seen in the utilities guide. Look to see what is exported when in user/schema mode vs full/database mode.
    Since there is a database version different I dont want to touch sys, system schema objects.This is all done for you with the internal workings of exp/imp.

  • Export/import to clone database -- please advise

    Hi All,
    Need help especially from exports that are strong in export/import.
    can someone advise me how to use export/import to clone a database?
    I know how to clone database using cold backup and hot backup.
    But wish to know the full steps in using export/import to do cloning.
    I'm going to do a full export on my "TEST" database, drop the database, create a database and import using the full export.
    After doing a full database export, full=y. What are the steps to follow. Have a few doubts about it.
    1) export the database (full=y)
    2) drop the database
    3) re-create the database, will be using the same name "TEST".
    4) create the users (IDs created by DBA, eg: schemas), tablespace and datafiles. --> import doesn't do it right?
    5) do a full import (full=y). In this step, will i encounter any problems? As in understand that all the oracle-owned objects (example SYSTEM, SYS, AUX) are already in the newly created database, will import full=y cause any problems?
    6) do i have to re-create the roles, SYNONYMS and grant role,sys,obj privileges to IDs not created by oracle. (example schema owner)
    in short i would like to know what EXPORT will export and not export
    what IMPORT will import and not import.
    Please advise.

    Hi zetabouy,
    thanks for ur input, definately helpful for me.
    just to confirm. am i right to say that only a full database level (full=y) export/import will export/import out roles as well as public synonyms? because i have tried also exporting a user from the database, and imported that user into a different database, but public synonyms and roles were not imported.
    one more question:
    For example we are going to do port data from production to uat database using export and import for only the schema.
    After exporting from production with such syntax (owner=OWNER01),
    is is better to drop all objects beloging to the schema owner in UAT before importing it (touser=OWNER01, ignore=y) using the production dumpfile?
    I'm asking this question as I'm afraid that if we did not drop all the pl/sql objects in UAT database, the updated procedures/fuctions/triggers exported from the production database will not get imported to the UAT database as UAT database have the same procedures/fuctions/triggers names (but not updated code) .
    will profiles be exported and imported too duing full database level exp/imp?
    please kindly advise.
    thanks
