HRMS Payroll: Migrating Element Links between Environments/Instances

Hi,
I need to migrate element links between environments i.e, I need to move my element links from one instance to another.
Apart from doing this manually or using dataloader, what are the other options/best practices that I can look at?
Regards,
Santhosh Jose

We've previously done this successfully using Data Pump to process the migration of Element Types, Input Values, Extra Info and Links - once set up it works very smoothly, but it does require quite a bit of setup so I'd only advise using if you're migrating a lot of elements several times.
Data Pump is just a set of tables and concurrent programs that wrap around Oracle API's for migration of data/setup.
The setup involves getting data into these tables...
Key tables are:
hr_pump_batch_lines
hr_pump_batch_headers
hr_pump_batch_line_user_keys
Using API's like:
hrdpp_create_element_type.insert_batch_lines
hrdpp_create_element_extra_inf.insert_batch_lines
hrdpp_create_element_link.insert_batch_lines
hrdpp_create_input_value.insert_batch_lines
hrdpp_update_input_value.insert_batch_lines
Conc Program: Data Pump Engine
There should be plenty of documentation around the net and MoS about this if you want to have a read.
Alternatively you can call the API's yourself.
or, you can have a go with iSetup - we tested this briefly but didn't get too far with it, several quirky issues with loading Work Structure data so went back to using Data Pump.

Migration of ESB between environments

Is there a way of migrating ESB between environments, e.g. Development, Test, Production in the same way you can use Ant in BPEL.
The issue I have is that all my endpoints are pointing to my development server and I need to chnage the links to another enviornment, this is the same for the DB adapaters as I need to point to the production database.
Any links to some documentation would be greatful.
cheers
James

Have a look in this thread:

How to create a view link between ViewObject Instance in nested AM

Hi all,
I am using JDev 11.1.1.0. I am a bit confused about working with nested AM
I have found the sample #33 in http://blogs.oracle.com/smuenchadf/examples/ to solve my problem, where the link is created programmatically.
Is it that an old example? Because it seems to be that I can create the link in a declarative way in a tab of the Application Module.
What is the advantage of creating the link on runtime?
Thanks

This sample is really old.
If you can do the link declarative just do so. I guess this was not possible in the older version of jdev.

Making event scripts generic between environments

At present we have a couple of FDM event scripts which construct some MaxL statements and then execute them against the Essbase database (to clear data before loading). The problem we have is that the MaxL scripts require hard-coded usernames, passwords and servernames (to log in to ESSMSH). When migrating the scripts between environments, these scripts will have to be manually updated each time for the given environment to which they are being migrated.
Is there a more elegant solution to this? One idea would be to have the values stored in a single plain text file (in a password-protected share) which would then be accessible by any of the various scripts in a given environment. But I would be interested to learn if there are alternatives to this.

If you migrate environments, you are going to have to do some configuration pretty much anyway you go about it. The question is what is the easiest/most straight foward so that it doesn't get missed during a migration, IMHO.
I would go with a well defined/documented "Global" config file that contains all of the information that may change. At a minimum, Usernames and passwords should be obfuscated/encrypted; however, it would be just as easy to do the whole file. Realize, that the decryption routines would be in your script code so this isn't 100% secure; however, it would prevent the casual user from quickly seeing usernames / passwords, etc. Furthermore, if you encrypted the whole file, they may not even realize there is a username/password in the file, etc.
In my mind this is the way to go...
Some other thoughts though, depending on what exactly you want to do....
Option 2
Username / Password / Server could be some variation on the server name so that the script always knows how to generate them. The negative side is that you would always need to create a new user / password anytime server changes, so you are still not escaping manual labor. (Though maybe you could use an API call to create it, but then you probably need a username/password to create the user... AAaaaahhhhhhhhh)
While neat, this seems like it would suffer from James Bond syndrome. I'm going to kill you now Mr. Bond, but first I'm going to tell you all my intricate plans for world domination, put you in some ridiculous trap with an semi-obvious flaw, AND leave so that you have time to work on your escape......
Option 3
Make a Web Service and then have your scripts make a Web Call (i.e. http://www.mycompany.com/GetConfigInfo.asp?secretcode=12341234123) which would return all the info you need. (username, password, servers, etc). AS LONG AS the webservice machine doesn't move around, this might be a decent way of doing it. Anyone sniffing around the local machines would find the config info; however, anyone looking at the scripts would see the call and could just open it in a web browser. You could of course secure that by looking at the source of the request and if it's not an approved server, not return the requested info; however, now you are getting into more maintenance work........
The time spent making this and potentially maintaining it probably isn't worth it.

Link Between Oacle Payroll and Oracle Payables

Hi,
We have installed Oracle Payroll and OraclePayable.
I would like to know the link between Oracle Payroll and Oracle Payable i.e. If i run a Payroll process, does the same affect a Cheque Payment that i can see in Oracle Payable?
Can the same Payment format be used by Payroll and Payable?
If i use International HRMS, can i reconcile Payroll with Cash Management, as the GL Cash account field is not enabled for International HRMS on the Organisation Payment method screen?
Thanks in Advance.

Employee Loan in AR can be tied with Element Balance of payroll.you should have to develop some mechism to get the money from AR and update into Payroll element balance, this way you can manage your employee loan without touching bank.
There is no seeded functionality comes with AR that have such capability.

DB LINK between XE and 11g instances

Hello ,
I am facing the following problem.
I have 3 databases instances on 3 servers on is Xe,the second is 10 R2 and
the third instance is 11g.
I have create db link between Xe and 10g and vice-versa (10g and Xe)
the db links in the two senses are working fine.
But i could not create db link between xe and 11g nor between 11g and Xe.
I will give some detail
On Xe dblink pointing to 11g , when accessed give the message :
"ORA-01017 : Invalid username/password;logon denied ORA-02063 preceding db11g"
i am sure that user name and password i give in db link creation are correct and tried it many times.
From the other side
On 11g dblink pointing to Xe instance when ,accessed give the folowing result :
i could access some table (select * from t1@dbxe)
but some times i got message : "Internal server Error" for the same select on the same table.
When i try to access fonction f1 on dbxe from 11g instace , i got the message
"ORA-04052 : Error when quering remote object f1@dbxe ORA-00604.."
Does any body have some idea about the issue ?
thanks in advance.

Is your 11g database configured to use case-sensitive passwords? If so, are you specifying a case-sensitive (quoted) password in the creation of your database link?

They should be using the Payroll register output for detailed specifics on individuals. When you post that type of information in Projects you are making public information that is normally kept very confidential and could be against normal HR policy and a violation of the workers right to privacy.
Has this been reviewed by the Payroll and Legal departments? Would suggest you make sure executives of each area mentioned are on board before doing this. Projects is not the place to be posting specifics of confidential Payroll information. Would suggest you get some help from your project manager to properly get approval to do this.
Good luck
Sue EllenHi Sue
Could you please explain in more details about the impact of the project, task and expenditure type at Element Link, I really didn’t get it.
How will it impact in Oracle Projects / Payroll when we have those segments in Element Link?
How could be against normal HR policy and a violation of the workers right to privacy?

Managing Datasource specification when migrating between environments

Hi,
We have a Data Services 3.2 realtime job that uses many Base match transforms.
These Base match transforms are used as simple candidate selectors which do not perform any matching and fire native SQL queries.
As we are currently migrating from DQXI 11.6 to DSXI 3.2 we were running this job in our development environment.
So the datasource specified in these candidate selection transforms were pointing to our development database.
We are now migrating to our test environment which has a separate database of its own having the same tables.
So, is there a central place where we can update the database details, so that its reflected in all the candidate selection transforms ?
Or, do we need to manually drill down into each candidate selection transform and change the datasource specification there before pushing the jobs realtime?
In our old DQXI system, each project had a XML file which we migrated between environments and we modified all occurrences of the old datasource with the new one.
Can something similar be done in DSXI ?
Please let me know. Any inputs will be helpful.
Thanks,
Saurav.

you can define multiple configuration for the Datastore that you are using in candidate selection, each for DEV, PROD etc env
and Define a System Configuration for each env, in System Config, you can specify which Datastore configuration to use
you can run the job using the System Config of that env
refer techincal manual for multiple Datastore Configuration and System Configuration

Link between Cost element GL Account and WBS element.

Hi,
I want to get the List of all dollars sitting on the GL account attached to the selected WBS element.
For this, Any one please suggest me the table where i can get the link between the WBS element and GL account.
or
Table for link between the Cost element and GL account
and Table for link between the Cost element and WBS element.
Thanks,
Suresh.

Hi,
1. There is no link between cost element and WBS
2. Link between cost element and G/L account is one-to-one. This means, that if it's a primary cost element it has the same code as the G/L account. If it's a secondary element, no link exists.
3. The table where you can see the postings on your WBS is COEP. There you will find the cost element, WBS, amounts, etc.

Eli

FNDLOAD: Migrating Item Templates between instances

Hi All,
Can we migrate Item templates from one instance to another using FNDLOAD. If so can you please provide me an example or useful source.
Thanks a lot.

I do not believe you can use FNDLOAD. iSetup has the functionality to migrate item templates. See the iSetup User Guide at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B40089_10/current/acrobat/120azug.pdf

Use of non-migratable database link not allowed ERROR

Hello,
We have a notification process (on disabled user) in OIM that needs to connect to a schema in another instance to check some information before the notification is sent out.
We have OIM in an instance A and the other schema lives in the instance B. We created a database link from A to B, some synonyms, and grant the right permissions for OIM to select the tables in the schema on instance B.
We can login to OIM using SQL Developer and execute the query without any problems.
However, when the query is executed in the Disable User process task, we got the error:
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-24777: use of non-migratable database link not allowed
We tried to create a view in OIM that is similar to the one that lives in the schema in instance B. However, the same error exists.
How can we work around this error?
Thanks

with all the info you have put here all I can say is : (with some help from google ;-) )
ORA-24777: use of non-migratable database link not allowed
Cause: The transaction, which needs to be migratable between sessions, tried to access a remote database from a non-multi threaded server process.
Action: Perform the work in the local database or open a connection to the remote database from the client. If multi threaded server option is installed, connect to the Oracle instance through the dispatcher.

Migration of orginals between two KPro storage systems

Hi Friends
I have created a document and checked in the originals into Storage category - SAP-SYSTEM (DMS_C1_ST-Default storage DMS (main files)).I have checked "Use KPro" configuration in "Define document type". Now, I need to migrate this originals into a fileshare system, which i have created as a new storage category(ZNEWDMS).How can I go about?
I know there is program DMS_KPRO_CONVERT available. But this program migrates documents from DMS storage(Vault, Server, Archive) to KPro storage. My requirement is to migrate the originals between two KPro storages ie From DMS_C1_ST to ZNEWDMS.
Could anybody help me on this?
Regards
S.Sivakumar

Hi,
I noticed this thread is a bit old, but I thought I would ask anyways.
I have the following situation:
Multiple SAP Instances, each with their own KPRO. A consolidation project to move towards a single SAP Instance. The multiple KPRO's stay as is.
I am assuming the easiest wat to go about this is to ALE all the metadata of the various SAP instances to the new instance. Would the KPRO links remain intact?
As part of the consolidation, Objects like materials and equipments have changed, e.g. Material 100 has changed to Material E100. For this I would assume a Bapi to update all the DIR's with the new Objects? This I am hoping would sever the old Object Link and create the new one?
Any suggestions please.
Thanks.
Freddie.
