Concurrent request completed

When moving a responsibility with FNDLOAD, I have had to move the menus and request groups separately before moving the responsibility. Here are the steps I use:
1.     Telnet to test instance apps zone and move to the FND Load directory:
     cd $FND_TOP/patch/115/import/
2.     Download menu with this command:
     FNDLOAD apps/apps O Y DOWNLOAD afsload.lct your_file.ldt MENU MENU_NAME="MENU NAME"
     Where you use an appropriate filename for your_file.ldt and use the Menu name from Apps (not the user menu name):
     For example:
     FNDLOAD apps/apps O Y DOWNLOAD afsload.lct fiscal_liaison_1menu.ldt MENU MENU_NAME="DCJS FISCAL LIAISON"
3.     Download request group with this command:
     FNDLOAD apps/apps O Y DOWNLOAD afcpreqg.lct your_file.ldt REQUEST_GROUP REQUEST_GROUP_NAME="Request Group" APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME="DCJS"
     Where you use an appropriate filename for your_file.ldt and use the Menu name from Apps (not the user menu name):
     For example:
     FNDLOAD apps/apps O Y DOWNLOAD afcpreqg.lct fiscal_liaison_2requests.ldt REQUEST_GROUP REQUEST_GROUP_NAME="DCJS Fiscal Liaison" APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME="DCJS"
4.     Download responsibility with this command:
     FNDLOAD apps/apps O Y DOWNLOAD afscursp.lct your_file.ldt FND_RESPONSIBILITY RESP_KEY="RESPONSIBILITY"
     Where you use an appropriate filename for your_file.ldt and use the Responsibility Key from Apps (not the responsibility name):
     For example:
     FNDLOAD apps/apps O Y DOWNLOAD afscursp.lct fiscal_liaison_3resp.ldt FND_RESPONSIBILITY RESP_KEY="DCJS FISCAL LIAISON"
5.     Open FTP client for test instance to the same directory in Step 1.
6.     FTP files as ASCII to local pc.
7.     Telnet to production instance apps zone and move to the FND Load directory:
     cd $FND_TOP/patch/115/import/
8.     Open FTP client for production instance to the same directory in Step 7.
9.     FTP files as ASCII from local pc directory in Step 6.
10.     Upload menu with this command:
     FNDLOAD apps/apps O Y UPLOAD afsload.lct your_file.ldt
     Where you use the menu configuration file and your filename from the download command in Step 2.
     For example:
     FNDLOAD apps/apps O Y UPLOAD afsload.lct fiscal_liaison_1menu.ldt
11.     Upload request group with this command using the request group configuration file and your filename from the download:
     FNDLOAD apps/apps O Y UPLOAD afcpreqg.lct fiscal_liaison_2requests.ldt
12.     Upload responsibility with this command using the responsibility configuration file and your filename from the download:
     FNDLOAD apps/apps O Y UPLOAD afscursp.lct fiscal_liaison_3resp.ldt
13.     Test responsibility in new instance.

While performing fndload to upload changes to existing responsibilities, this command is used:
UPLOAD_MODE=REPLACE CUSTOM_MODE=FORCE
The menu link updates with the new value but the menu exclusions appear to append to existing values.
Has anyone else experienced this? If so, do you know of another parameter to overwrite existing menu exclusions to reflect only the new uploaded values?

FNDLOAD for Responsibility Mapping setup in Oracle Service

Hi,
Is there a FNDLOAD command for Responsibility Mapping setup in Oracle Service.
Thanks
Vishnu
Edited by: user12063411 on Dec 2, 2009 4:01 PM

Yes, SR Type- Responsibility mapping is done in JSP page.
But Dataloader works in JSP page or almost any application like Microsoft excel, outlook etc..

Using FNDLOAD to upload data of all employees into fnd_user form?

Hi
I have created a production clone instance. In clone instance, i have to create all users in fnd_user (user form) those exists in HR employees (HR module) for accessing self service application. Each employee in HR will have a fnduser (username=employee_number). How can i upload 1400 employees (employee_name,employee_number) from HR module to fnduser form? I wanted to do it using FNDLOAD? Is it possible?
Extracting data from HR schema and uploading through DATALOAD is possible. But i would like to do it using FNDLOAD. Please suggest.

Apis for attaching profile options to a responsibility in oracle apps 11i

Hi,
Appreciate your help.
We are automating the process of creation responsibilities.
1. I have created new responsibility using the fnd_responsibility_pkg.load_row and responsibilities created successfully.
2. There are few profile options which will be used (GL set of books,HR user etc.,) and is there any api's to attach the profiles to the newly created responsibilites or can i go and directly insert a record in (apps.fnd_profile_option_values).
Thanks
Nethi.

Hi,
I believe you need to use FNDLOAD to attach those profile options.

Usage of FNDLOAD

Hi all,
I have a set of Functions and Menus in an Instance. And now i want to move them to a different instance. I came to know that we can do that with the help of the FNDLOAD utility.
I found this document Note:274667.1
When i tried running the following command to donwload a particular Menu,
FNDLOAD apps/password O Y DOWNLOAD $FND_TOP/patch/115/import/afsload.lct file_name.ldt MENU MENU_NAME="ISP_HOMEPAGE_MENU"
the command failed saying the username/password is invalid. But when i tried loging in to the database with same username and password, i was able to login without any issue.
Can anyone help ?!

Narasimha,
Use genaral apps forum General EBS Discussion for this issue, you might get a faster response there. This is OAF forum.
One way I can think of is to put the command in a script file and execute that.

OM_Concurrent manager menu is not appearning in Responsibility

Hi Oracle Gurus,
I have created responsibility for Orader management and given Menu as ONT_SUPER_USER for running concurrent programs but most of concurrent programs has not been assigned to this user group.
If I check vision operations responsibility "Order management, Vision operations(USA) menu is ADS_OM_SUPERMENU but same menu is not appearing in UAT/ CRP instances, we are finding very difficult to get concurrent programs.
If anyone know how to get ADS_OM_SUPERMENU assignment to get the menu in list of values, please advise the setups, step to be followed.
Responses are highly appreciated.

I have created responsibility for Orader management and given Menu as ONT_SUPER_USER for running concurrent programs but most of concurrent programs has not been assigned to this user group.What do you mean by user group? Did you mean to say Request Group?
If I check vision operations responsibility "Order management, Vision operations(USA) menu is ADS_OM_SUPERMENU but same menu is not appearing in UAT/ CRP instances, we are finding very difficult to get concurrent programs.Please verify the Request Group instead of the menu as the menu shows what forms/functions you can run from the responsibility but not the concurrent programs.
If anyone know how to get ADS_OM_SUPERMENU assignment to get the menu in list of values, please advise the setups, step to be followed.
Responses are highly appreciated.If you want to transfer the menu, then use FNDLOAD or create it manually.

You should not be getting responsibility errors when loading concurrent programs. Also, you show "O" (alphabet O) in your FNDLOAD command when it should be "0" (zero) - so I do not know how your command above worked at all.

Responsive Mobile Menus: Open and close on browser, but not in mobile?

I have two responsive jquery menus I am working with. In the desktop browser they both look and operate fine (full screen and mobile size), but when that same responsive page with menu is viewed on an actual phone (Android and iphone), the menus both: SHOW FULLY OPENED WITH ALL PARENT AND CHILDREN?
I believe I installed everyting properly (especially since it resizes and works perfect in a normal desk browser) -Dropsdown and Contracts back.
Does anyone have any experience with this issue (Responsive menus works fine in a desktop browser, but shows completely opened, and will not drop or contract when viewed on an actual mobile phone, like Android or iphone?), and if so any guidance?
Thanks very much

Wow, you save me alot of time and headaches. You really know alot and are very helpful and taught me alot. Thank you for helping me, this is my first site I am still trying to build/get up, after years of on-off trying / learning/ abandoning (for other pursuits). This site is really important for me, and would mean alot for me to finally follow through on building.
Do you know if this forums allows (or do you ever) add friends/contacts so you can message each other? I am somewhat a 'newbie', so I understand if problem, I would not bug/bother you, just curious and fully understand if not. (or do you ever contact via email, website, or other)?
Also re: Vanilla Testing: I always test all my stuff on a blank HTML page with only the Boilerplate and JS that Dreamweaver provides. I don't know if I have the capability to fully do in something like notepad? Will this method (Boiler, JS, and blank HTML) suffice--No other Scripts--Not even my stylesheet?
What do you think about this menu. Features seem good, has the most sales, good developer and support?

Report on campaign response

Hi All,
There was a campaign launch at beginning of month, and now we are trying to do analysis on the campaign response. We have a field at contact level called Subsegment which can have values like Experienced RIA, Inexperienced Stock Broker etc. Now, I need to develop a report that would give a count of click through, open response, opt out, hard bounce and also their % based on sub segment field. I am able to develop report with count of click through, open response, opt out, hard bounce but when I develop a field with formula as (Metrics."# of Click Through"/Metrics."# of Recipients")*100 and put this field in pivot table, I get all erroneous data. The formula gives me all weird values, it display 0 then there should be 15 etc.
Can anybody please help in indentifying what wrong am I doing.
Thanks in Advance,

Hi All,
Never Mind Guys, i figured it out, i had to cast the data type as float to get the desired output, the system was orginally converting everything into integer and that's why i was getting weird results.
Thanks,

Multiple (but separate) domain problem & Apple's slow and useless response

I am having problem with multiple (but separate) domain. I opened a ticket.
Here is Apple's slow and useless response and my follow up.
This follow up is not going to resolve the issues I am having. The sites are not in one domain file. I have split them into separate domains. I found that the simplest change to any page made the publishing process extremely and reasonably slow. If I updated a single site, iWeb republishes the whole conglomeration; hardly the most efficient way.
I have several directories under the ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/ directory with separate Domain.sites2 files for each site:
consultingAM.com
DarkAssassinMovie.com
Fuzzy Llama Junior Optimist Club
GulfportOptimist.com
OptimistView
pAwesomeProductions.com
www.nfdoi.com
With the previous version of iWeb, I navigated to a specific ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/ directory, selected the Domain.site file, and opened it. This would open iWeb with the selected domain. Several of the sites have their blog page with the RSS subscribe option.
Once I made the update, all I usually had to do was publish site and all was well. Occasionally, I would have to do a publish all if I changed domains. All in all, I had no problems with publishing once I found the right steps to be able to maintain multiple domains.
Now, using the default publish or publish all process, all I get is the last site I published. In order to get things semi-functional, I published a site, then I would go to iDisk/Web/Sites/ directory, select the folder name for the site I had just published, then copy it or move it to iDisk/Web/Sites/iWeb directory. This was rather slow and I suspect it is not an approved solution, but it semi-worked. My sites are back up, but they are not fully functional.
Is there anyway to get back to using the ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/ directory (separate Domain.sites file for each site) process to publish multiple sites? If not, is there any way to suck in the various domains back into one? If that is possible, will it take hours to publish the combined 2-3GB like it did with the previous version?
How do I reverse the 'personal domain' process? I do not want to do this at this time. I just wanted to see what the steps were. I have done the first step, but not the second.
I was glad to see some of the changes made in the upgrade (web widgets, maps, html snippets, theme switching), but I am too happy about the changes made by the upgrade process. In the past, I upgraded my Apple related stuff as soon as it came out. Based on this upgrade, that won't happen again.
It took you guys 5 days to get back to me (during which time several of my sites were down) and I do not believe the information you provided is going to solve my specific problems. I am very disappointed with the results of this upgrade. Clearly there was inadequate testing of this product before it was released. I cannot recall seeing the Apple discussion forums with hundreds of topics and thousands of posts within a week or two of a new release. Apple had to upgrade iWeb in the first week, another poor sign.
Apple is beginning to slip back to the pack; all vendors all below average. Apple is getting more like Microsoft everyday. First Apple delays the release of an OS upgrade so they can concentrate on a freaking phone, now you release software that is so buggy it should be classified as beta at best.
Some of the changes/problem I am seeing since the upgrade (in addition to the problems mentioned previously) are:
layout changes; some of my pages no longer look the same; same of the changes are so bad the pages are unreadable
broken photo pages; some of my photo pages no longer work; some of them have no text or pictures
file/page name changes; why would Apple change the location of the files; now my domains are not pointing right location; special characters (like spaces, ampersands, etc.) are handled differently in this version; specifically, I see that spaces are changed to underscores (_); iWeb used to use '%20' for spaces; what was Apple thinking?
broken 3rd party themes; I know Apple is not responsible for 3rd party themes, but you should certainly be aware that they exist
Based on what I am seeing online, most of the people who are complaining about major iWeb issues are not newbies; based on the technical details in the threads, there are clearly some experienced people who are trying to figure things outw. I have lost many hours trying to figure this mess out. I now have to review hundreds of pages to try get things to look and work the way they did before the upgrade. I have had to handle dozens of phone calls and emails from my viewers and subscribers trying to explain the situation.
I googled 'iweb 08 *****' and got nearly 50,000 hits! I think Apple better get in front of this train before it gets run over.

Dear David,
I understand that you are experiencing an issue viewing some of your websites published in iWeb:
I have examined all of the published pages and they appear to load and function as expected. If you published your website to .Mac, you can visit it either of these ways:
- In iWeb, click the Visit button in the lower-left corner.
- Enter the following URL into a web browser:
http://web.mac.com/daviddawley/
If you have published more than one website, the URL above will take you to the default website, which is the first website listed in iWeb. To visit another website you have created in iWeb, use the following URL format:
http://web.mac.com/daviddawley/iWeb/YourSiteName
Using this form, the web addresses for the two sites you mentioned would be:
http://web.mac.com/daviddawley/iWeb/FuzzyLlamaJuniorOptimist.com
http://web.mac.com/daviddawley/iWeb/pAwesomeProductions.com
To change the default website, simply open iWeb, and in the Site Organizer, drag the desired default website to the top and republish to .Mac.
NOTE: Be sure to give each website a unique name. This will help prevent one website from overwriting another. For further information, refer to the following article:
iWeb: Do not use similar names for your sites
http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n303042
If you still experience issues with the website, try the following troubleshooting steps:
WAIT SEVERAL MINUTES
If your website has movies, you may need to wait several minutes after going to the website before the movies are ready to play. The QuickTime Player icon indicates that a movie is still loading.
CLEAR YOUR BROWSER CACHE
If you use Safari, you can clear your browser cache by choosing Empty Cache from the Safari menu. If you use another browser, consult that browser’s documentation if you need assistance in clearing your browser cache.
UPDATE YOUR BROWSER
Make sure you are using the latest available version of your web browser when viewing pages published in iWeb. If you use Safari, you can check for updates by choosing Software Update from the Apple menu. If there are any available Safari, Security, or Mac OS X updates, install those updates and try looking at your website again.

Support Subject : iWeb
Sub Issue : I can't publish to .Mac from iWeb
Comments : I was interested in forwarding one of several iWeb based sites to one of my domains. I wanted to see what the steps were. I believe I inadvertently started the process for moving the site to www.nfdoi.com site. I have several sub directories under the ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb directory with separate domain.sites files (now domain.sites2).
I was going through all of my domain.sites files and opening them in iWeb08; then publishing them. Somewhere along the line everything blew up. Most of my iWeb sites no longer function, It appears that every other iweb site other www.nfdoi.com is down EXCEPT the last one I published. I have made a mess of things and would appreciate any help.

Just got off the phone with Apple Support. There procedure was the following:
1. Go to the Apple TV, select settings, general and scroll down to reset.
2. Select reset and then select reset all
Apple TV will go through a restart after the reset and you will have to select your network then log in with your network or Airport Express password. You will then have to turn on home sharing and It will then ask you for your Apple ID for the iTunes store and then the password. At this point you may not see your library, because the Apple TV wants you to turn on home sharing on your home computer that is hosting the movie library. Turn off home sharing on that computer, restart iTunes and turn on home sharing again. After this is done you should be able to see you library listed under the computer.
After going through these steps, when I select an HD movie from my iTunes library the movie comes up after about a 5 second delay.
Hope this helps! I am back up for business.

I have one apple ID for multiple devices in my family. I'd like to keep it that way for itunes/app purchases. I would like a simple step 1, step 2, step 3 response on what I need to do to separate all other features like imessage, contacts, emails, etc.

I have one apple ID for multiple devices in my family. I'd like to keep it that way for itunes/app purchases. I would like a simple step 1, step 2, step 3 response on what I need to do to separate all other features like imessage, contacts, emails, etc.
I have been reasearching how to do this on the internet, but I haven't found an easy explanation yet. My family is going crazy over each others imessages being sent to others in the family and not being able to use FaceTime because of conflicting email addresses. I have read that if each person gets their own iCloud account, this would work. However, I need to know what to do after I set everyone up with their own iCloud account. Do I make that the default email address to be contacted or can they still use their hotmail email addresses. Any help- with easy explanation- would be much appreciated!!

We do this in my family now. We have one account for purchases, so it is used to share music and apps (I think that is in Settings/iTunes & App Stores). Each iDevice has this configured.
Then, each of us has our own iCloud account that is configured under Settings/iCloud. That then allows us to have our own Mail/Contacts/Calendars/Reminders/Safari Bookmarks/Notes/Passbook/Photo Stream/Documents & Data/Find My iPhone/and Backup. That Backup piece is pretty sweet and comes in handly if you replace your iDevice. You can just restore from it.
So we all share the Apple Store account but we all have our own iCloud accounts to keep the rest seperate or things like you mentioned are a nightmare.
In answer to what iCloud does for you: http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/
Think of it as an internet based ("cloud") area for all of those items listed in my response. What you need to remember is photo stream only maintans the last 1000 pictures so don't count it as a complete backup solution for your pictures. Even though I rarely sync with a computer these days, I do still try to sync my phone with iPhoto (I have an iMac) so that I have copies of all of my pictures. 1000 may not stretch as far as it sounds.
