Financial Consolidation Hub (FCH) vs Global Consolidation System (GCS).

Does any one know the benefits offered by Financial Consolidation Hub (FCH) over Global Consolidation System (GCS).
GCS comes with GL module and it is pretty sophisticated. My question is what are the benefits offered by FCH module (which is new in R12) over GCS?
Thanks

Found a web ADI for entering historical rates in FCH.
responsibility fch>>setup>>rates>>create historical rates
but is there any other way to enter historical rates, any API or interface table ??

Oracle Financial Consolidation Hub FCH Historical Rates

There is a requirement to enter data for Historical rates in Oracle R12.
I only know that GCS is the schema for historical rates table.
Please, I need to know if there are any interface tables or API relates to this upload.
Also any technical web links / documentation related to it.

Difference between Oracle Financial Consolidation Hub and Hyperion Financial Management

Dear All,
Greetings!
We are at a client site where the existing consolidation process is performed using the Oracle Financial Consolidation Hub (FCH)
The client is interested to migrate or utilize the power of Hyperion Financial Management (HFM) and want to utilize Hyperion going forward
Queries:
1. Can we integrate or migrate the Oracle FCH to HFM
2. What are the major differences between Oracle FCH and HFM - functionally and technically?
3. Which is more advantageous considering the growth potential, future opportunities of expansion of the company?
Any help on this query (at the earliest) is highly appreciated as we have the real scenario in hand.
Thanks
Swami

FCH was a product launched by Oracle to counter Hyperion Financial Management. However, it is not a proven tool. HFM has a very good market standing coupled with its other reporting capabilities. Also, HFM is a industry leader now.
Financial Consolidation Hub will be removed from the Oracle E-Business Suite Component. FCH will not be included with Release 12.1. This is why, customers are advised to move to Hyperion Financial Management.
An automatic migration utility from FCH to HFM has not been implemented. FCH customers who wish to implement Hyperion Financial Management will have to install the application and complete the implementation process manually.

Global Consolidation System setup

Hi all,
I am new in Global Consolidation System, our client need to consolidate two new entities to the consolidated sob. But not fully 100% of the account balance. The allocation is as follows:
The holding company holds 75% of entity A and 55% of entity B. So, how can I set this percentage in the consolidation setup?
Please help.

Hi everybody!

Reconcilation after global consolidation

hi there,
I just did a consolidation,posted the data in new set of books and tried to reconcile the data between the 2 set of books. But i found the data is not reconciling, can anyone help me out on this. Any suggestions are welcome.
Regards

Hi Rahul,
What is the version of HFM?
The below could be one of the possible cause:
This is expected behavior if the hierarchies being consolidated have entities in common which contain data.
Consolidate All With Data By Selecting All The Hierarchy Without Top Parent
When selecting multiple sibling members at once, separate consolidations will be launched.
A consolidate all with data will force a calculate on the entities with data, so wherever they exist in other hierarchies, the parent structure will then be impacted.
The first consolidation will set intersections to OK when the consolidation is run, then reset those intersections to CN when the next hierarchy is impacted. These intersections have been impacted twice, once to OK, then back to CN.
Doing Consolidate All With Data From The Top Parent
When the top parent is used to run the Consolidate All With Data it run a single consolidation, the status of that consolidation is OK for the entire hierarchy. (rules may change this result).
For OK status for the entire hierarchy, launch a Consolidate instead of a Consolidate All WithData from the top most parent.
Hope this helps,
Thank you,
Charles Babu J

Financial Accounting Hub

Hi,
I am new to the FAH concept. As for now it seems its just same as SLA.
we have done some basic setups as mentioned in oracle white paper.
Now before create accounting we have to populate some tables like
'XLA_EVENTS' and 'XLA_TRANSACTION_ENTITIES' from the source tables.
Here i found an api to create event "xla_events_pub_pkg.create_event".
any source code for this api will be a great help.
kindly let me know if we are going in the right direction or not,
and if we need to drill down then how far we can get into it.
Thanks & Regards

The General Ledger is where you keep you accounting books with the numbers of your company. SLA/FAH(Financial Accounting Hub) is the new feautre of R12, it is not a module is more a service or engine. From the functional arquitecture point of view is a previous step before the accounting transactions are transfered to GL.
SLA/FAH is the middle step between the subledgers and GL where we can add 'rules' to modify the journals that goes from AP (for example) to GL. One modification could be to split the expense account in the distributions by project segment.
SLA and FAH are really the same functionality, however SLA is used for standard eBS modules: AP, AR, FA, etc... and FAH is used for external sources, when we integrate external systems with GL
For further info I recomend this blog, it is a pity but it is not mine ;-)

GL - Global Intercompany System - Interface import

Hi experts,
I need some help with the GIS interface import.
I create records in gl_iea_interface, and run the Import Intercompany Transactions program. The program reports no errors, but I can't see any transaction lines being imported, just the transaction. When I look in the Enter Intercompany Transactions window, there is no lines, just the header and the clearing account.
And as you can see below, I set the line type to 'D' for distribution (offset) line and not 'C' for clearing line.
INSERT INTO GL_IEA_INTERFACE

Sun Cluster 3.2 - Global File Systems

Sun Cluster has a Global Filesystem (GFS) that supports read-only access throughout the cluster. However, only one node has write access.
In Linux a GFS filesystem allows it to be mounted by multiple nodes for simultaneous READ/WRITE access. Shouldn't this be the same for Solaris as well..
From the documentation that I have read,
"The global file system works on the same principle as the global device feature. That is, only one node at a time is the primary and actually communicates with the underlying file system. All other nodes use normal file semantics but actually communicate with the primary node over the same cluster transport. The primary node for the file system is always the same as the primary node for the device on which it is built"
The GFS is also known as Cluster File System or Proxy File system.
Our client believes that they can have their application "scaled" and all nodes in the cluster can have the ability to write to the globally mounted file system. My belief was, the only way this can occur is when the application has failed over and then the "write" would occur from the "primary" node whom is mastering the application at that time. Any input will be greatly appreciated or clarification needed. Thanks in advance.
Ryan

Thank you very much, this helped :)
And how seamless is remounting of the block device LUN if one server dies?
Should some clustered services (FS clients such as app servers) be restarted
in case when the master node changes due to failover? Or is it truly seamless
as in a bit of latency added for duration of mounting the block device on another
node, with no fatal interruptions sent to the clients?
And, is it true that this solution is gratis, i.e. may legally be used for free
unless the customer wants support from Sun (authorized partners)? ;)

Oracle Financial Accounting Hub View issue

Hello all,
I am new to Oracle Financial Accounting Hub.
While i'm doing setup, I got stuck in Accounting Event Class Option ( N - Subledger Accounting Setups > Accounting Method Builder > Events > Accounting Event Class Options ). In that form, In Transaction View field I have to give One views name.
My doubt is what are the filed that i need to inculde. I will be happy if any one send the sample query.

Problems mounting global file system

Hello all.
I have setup a Cluster using two Ultra10 machines called medusa & ultra10 (not very original I know) using Sun Cluster 3.1 with a Cluster patch bundle installed.
When one of the Ultra10 machines boots it complains about being unable to mount the global file system and for some reason tries to mount the node@1 file system when it is actually node 2.
on booting I receive the message on the macine ultra10
Type control-d to proceed with normal startup,
(or give root password for system maintenance): resuming boot
If I use control D to continue then the following happens:
ultra10:
ultra10:/ $ cat /etc/cluster/nodeid
2
ultra10:/ $ grep global /etc/vfstab
/dev/md/dsk/d32 /dev/md/rdsk/d32 /global/.devices/node@2 ufs 2 no global
ultra10:/ $ df -k | grep global
/dev/md/dsk/d32 493527 4803 439372 2% /global/.devices/node@1
medusa:
medusa:/ $ cat /etc/cluster/nodeid
1
medusa:/ $ grep global /etc/vfstab
/dev/md/dsk/d32 /dev/md/rdsk/d32 /global/.devices/node@1 ufs 2 no global
medusa:/ $ df -k | grep global
/dev/md/dsk/d32 493527 4803 439372 2% /global/.devices/node@1
Does anyone have any idea why the machine called ultra10 of node ID 2 is trying to mount the node ID 1 global file system when the correct entry is within the /etc/vfstab file?
Many thanks for any assistance.

Hmm, so for arguments sake, if I tried to mount both /dev/md/dsk/d50 devices to the same point in the filesystem for both nodes, it would mount OK?
I assumed the problem was because the device being used has the same name, and was confusing the Solaris OS when both nodes tried to mount it. Maybe some examples will help...
My cluster consists of two nodes, Helene and Dione. There is fibre-attached storage used for quorum, and website content. The output from scdidadm -L is:
1 helene:/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0 /dev/did/rdsk/d1
2 helene:/dev/rdsk/c0t1d0 /dev/did/rdsk/d2
3 helene:/dev/rdsk/c4t50002AC0001202D9d0 /dev/did/rdsk/d3
3 dione:/dev/rdsk/c4t50002AC0001202D9d0 /dev/did/rdsk/d3
4 dione:/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0 /dev/did/rdsk/d4
5 dione:/dev/rdsk/c0t1d0 /dev/did/rdsk/d5
This allows me to have identical entries in both host's /etc/vfstab files. There are also shared devices under /dev/global that can be accessed by both nodes. But the RAID devices are not referenced by anything from these directories (i.e. there's no /dev/global/md/dsk/50). I just thought it would make sense to have the option of global meta devices, but maybe that's just me!
Thanks again Tim! :D

ECCS Assign consolidation of investment method to consolidation units

Dear experts,
I get trouble with on error in ECCS. After I create consolidation of investment method. In order to use this method in consolidation of investment, I have to assign this method to consolidation units.
I used tcode CXM1 to assign consolidation of investment method to consolidation units. But when I execute this tcode, there is no consolidation hierarchy. Therefore, I cannot do assignment.
Any body have ever face with the same error?
I am looking forward to hearing your suggestion.
Thanks in advance!

I dealt this issue.
Thanks.
