Import business area issue

Hi Discoverer friends,
I recently created a buisness area with a workbook in development eul and imported into the production eul. I first exported the business area and workbook separatly from Dev/Test using discoverer admin.I then Imported the BA and workbook into Production in admin using the default settings except that - Refresh the object( the sub-box Preserve display related properties was not checked) I also refresh the BA. The imported workbook worked fine, but a workbook for another BA ( say BA1) failed to work. I looked into the issue and discovered that there were multiple BAs in the same EUL where the new BA (say BA3) was imported into. The folders in BA3 were 80% the same as what in BA2. However, the problem was in BA1 as some of the worksheets failed. I looked into the SQL for the failed worksheet and to my surprise, the query in BA1 joined with some of the tables in BA3. Please note: BA1 had no such folder and even no joint to these tables in BA3.
It is either a bug or something I missed or did wrong with my import of the BA3 as after I deleted both BA1/BA3, imported BA1 only and it turned out OK for BA1.
So What I should do to import the BA3?
Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated.
my Discoverer admin edition is 9.0.4. Database 9.2.4. Application server 9.0.4.2 and Discoverer Plus used is 9.0.4.45.02.
Thank you very much,
Jeff

Hi
It sounds as though you may have deleted the folders from the business area but not from the EUL. If this is the case, and the folders still exist inside Production, then when you import from Test into Production, the folders will be there attached to the business area.
If you really don't want the folders you should completely delete them from the Test EUL, or are you saying that you did this? If you're absolutely certain that you deleted them from Test, then exported the Test business area and imported it into Production, matching by identifier, then it sounds like there is an issue. You may need to manually delete folders in both areas.
You see, if a folder exists in production and not in the import from Test, how does Discoverer know that you did not intentionally not export that folder? I don't think it can detect that something is no longer there. Its a bit like saying give me the ID numbers of all the rows in the database that got deleted today so that I can go and delete them from the data warehouse. You cannot because they don't exist. I think your best plan would be to delete them from both areas, either that or delete the business area from production and reimport it from Test.
Does this help and what do the other Discoverer experts think about what I have said?

CAN NOT IMPORT BUSINESS AREA AS IT SAYS - JOINS NOT FOUND WHERE REQUIRED

We have recently migrated from Disco 4.1.48.08 to 10.1.2
Everything looks ok - we are able to look at existing workbooks and business areas. And we can export business areas successfully.
However
When we try to import some business areas it returns - JOINS NOT FOUND WHERE REQUIRED and fails. This is now causing a problem with how we promote from our test/uat and prod environments.
any ideas ?

Here's some information from Support that helped me...
Discoverer has many options on exporting and importing objects. Entire End User Layers, Entire Business Areas or only selected objects could be exported. To simplify the process of exporting and importing Business Areas, it is suggested that the export and import process should be done with entire Business Areas. The reason why it is not recommended that selected objects are exported and imported as a norm is to simplify maintenance.
It is still possible to export and import selected objects, but a knowledgeable Administrator is recommended to head the procedure. The process could get
very complex and difficult to manage.
Some Additional Notes:
- Join conditions are exported, but are not indicated as an object. Join conditions are only exported ** if ** the joining folders are exported.
- If the ‘refresh’ option is performed in Discoverer Administrator on an object and the underlying object on the database is not available, the object is dropped from the EUL. It is of utmost importance that the objects exist on the underlying database before the ‘refresh’ option is executed.
- Functions and Workbooks are not exported when exporting an entire Business Area. Functions and Workbooks have to be exported separately.
The first bullet is what was giving me this error "JOINS NOT FOUND WHERE REQUIRED". I was unable to do a full export - another unrelated error, so I came up with an alternate solution. I created a new BA that only contained the standard folders that my two custom BA's referenced - by JOINS and inclusion in my complex folders. I exported all 3 and they imported into the new instance with no issue.

Importing business areas

When exporting and importing business areas (from test to prod e.g.) i sometimes get the following problem.
For some workbooks I would like to use joins between folders in different business areas without "sharing" the folders between the business areas. This works fine when setting it up directly, but I have problems when exporting and importing. From previous advice I understood that I need to export and import both business areas and that the order in which I do so makes a difference. I tried this and found that it sometimes works and sometimes does not. So far I have not been able to determine why. Any help ? I use Disc Admin 4.1

It may be a similar issue to the Oracle BIS views. If you bring in the business areas by the import / export utility, it will order the input alphabetically, not an order that makes sense.
For example, if you had 2 business areas, and 1 was called: A and the second B (original names huh), if business area A had a folder joined to B, then at the time it comes in, B is not defined and I believe the join may go by the wayside.
I definitely know this is an issue with BIS and the most reliable way to not have this occur is to using a Unix emulator that Oracle recommends to bring the business areas in, in the correct order so that the joins are correct.
In your case, I'd check to see if this could be the problem and if so, could you alter the names of the business areas so that if imported back in the alphabetically order would work?
Just a thought.

Importing business area and then using workbook file

I need to use a workbook that was created by another user and saved as an external file.
They exported their business area and sent it to me with the workbook.
When I tried to open the workbook after sucessfully importing the business area I could not find the imported business area and the components that go with it and their was no way to browse to find them.
Can anyone help me with this problem.
Thanks.

If you want to use an external workbook that was saved to the desktop. You choose open and then click the icon with the label computer underneath.
If the components in your business area are not the same as the ones where the workbook was created you will be given the option to substitute values to match what is in the workbook with what is in the business area.
When you choose this option however, it displays only the first three business areas you have access to. There is an up and down arrow but no scroll bar implying that these are all the options. However usual windows practice did not apply and the ommitted scroll bar did not mean that all the list was displayed, clicking the down arrow would uncover more business areas.
When I finished sustituting the variables I still got a join error. It was taking too much time so I got username and password of the account where the workbook was created.

Importing business area

Meenakshi,
Check the EUL Owner has got Select Priviledge on the Importing Business Area, Check you have enough Memory for the RollBack Segment, Try generating SQLTrace and analyze for the exact error.

Suggestions needed for Export/Import Business Area Problem

I'm trying to export/import a Business Area from one instance to another and I get the following error during import processes.
Database Error - ORA-00001: unique constraint (EUL4_US.EUL4_EXP_PK) violated
The Business Area I'm trying to import doesn't exists in new instance. During the import wizard I've checked refresh existing object and match by identifiers.
I think my target instance has objects with same identifiers, so I went ahead and changed the identifiers in my source, but still problem persists. How can I correct this error?
Thanks

Did you happen to copy the EUL from one database to another before you were importing/exporting the BA?
Discoverer recognizes EULs using unique reference numbers. However, if you use the database export and import utilities to copy an EUL, the new EUL (including its reference number) will be identical to the original EUL. When EULs have the same reference number, EUL consistency issues can arise if you do both of the following:
* If you modify objects in both the original EUL and in the new EUL
* Having modified objects in both EULs, if you then attempt to copy objects between the two EULs using the Discoverer Export Wizard and Import Wizard (or the Discoverer /export and /import commands)
To avoid potential EUL consistency issues, run the eul5_id.sql script as the owner of the new EUL. The eul5_id.sql script gives a new refererence number to the new EUL and thereby avoids any potential EUL consistency issues.

Error while importing business area

Hi everyone,
I'm working with Oracle Applications standard EUL, based on the BIS views
I have exported "Order Management" business area. When I try to import it in my EUL with the following command line, my command gets aborted:
$ eulapi -connect apps_user/apps_user@sid -eul EUL_US -apps_user -apps_responsibility "System Administrator" -import import_file.eex -import_rename_mode refresh -identifier
But when I import it using Oracle Discoverer Administrator, there's no problem.
I tried with another business area (Accounts Receivable), and it also works using java command line.
I don't understand why my import doesn't work. I don't have any info about the possible error, even using -log option.
It's a quite strange problem. I hope someone has an idea.
Thanks.
Daniel.

Thanks for your quick response, Michael!
I have another question on import. I imported a folder and it got imported with a warning (A folder named 'Folder Name' was created or modified during the import but is not in a business area
Import completed, but with warnings. Please check the result.
I can see the folder in the database table. Is there a way to add this folder to the business area? Or my only option is to delete the folder out of EUL?
Thanks once again!

Business area issue

Hi experts,
My user has passed entry without business area.Now while he use to reverse it through OB08/F-02,the system is picking up business area.System should not accept business area.
Please advise.
Regards,
Samar

Hi,
You can perform the following steps: First you can try this scenario in quality then only go for production client
1.Run F.5D&F.5E - Make sure that document with no business area picked up in this transaction
2.Goto T.Code:OB65: Deactiviate business area indicator and save the data
3.Again run F.5D & F.5E : Make sure that document with no business area picked up in this transaction
4.Post a JV in F-02 for reversal or try to use FB08
5. Go to T.Code: OB65 : Activate business area
6. run F.5D & F.5E : Make sure that document in spet1 should not pick up.
Hope it should work, i followed the same steps earlier and able to resolve this kind of issue.
Imp: If this transaction works well in quality client then only go for production client. While doing the same activity in production client make sure that no user should work at that momement, it means you should carryout this job, after office hours and when there were no users on the system. If anybody are working, their entries may flow without business area.
All the best

Hello,
Are NewGL and document splitting active in your system? If yes, you should solve this problem with using splitting function.
Otherwise, you can use business transaction event 00001120.
I explained step by step how can you activate BTE 00001120. I give you message below.
Re: FBCJ - Cash Journal Transaction
In this exit, you must update t_bsegsub-gsber field which t_bseg-buzid = 'T' for tax item.
But you can not split tax line items in this exit. For example in invoice you have 2 or more business area, but tax line item doesn't create for each buiness area (If you don't use document splitting functon). So in this exit you can only assign a business area to tax line item which is automatically generate while posting FI document.

Now Just see at the document. The Business Area is capturing correctly in VAT output for the first sale. But the VAT out put for Second Sale, the business area is blank. Where as the B.A. is perfectly capturing in case of both sales.
It is the same scenario if Iu2019ll take n-number of products in an invoice. Only first productu2019s B.A. is capturing in the VAT output, while in others its showing blank.
So kindly suggest me why is it so? & how can I show the B.A. in every VAT out put GL for n-number if Transaction in one invoice.
kindly send the solution in rnarayan @ videoconmail.com

See OSS note 199886 - Business area in tax line:
Cause and prerequisites
Postings to VAT accounts must be made without business area. The reason for this is that the field "Business area" does not exist in the tax data. Therefore,the advance return for tax on sales/purchases can also only generate postings without business area and these postings must correspond exactly to the original tax postings in your account assignments. Otherwise, the tax accounts would have steadily increasing business area balances.
Solution
You can use function "Balance Sheet Adjustment" (report SAPF180) to display taxes in the balance sheet for business areas.

Business Area Export/Import Conditions Error

Hi,
I'm working on exporting one business area from one schema X to another Y.
Well I'm exporting the business area from the X schema using the administrator
and following the next steps:
[Menu]
File/Export...
[Export wizard Dialog]
Selected objects in the EUL/ Selecting Business Area Definitions,
folders,Workbooks.
I'm saving the resultant file like "BusinesArea.eex"
So, I'm importing the "BusinesArea.eex" file to the Y schema, using the command
line:
..\Dis51adm /connect usr/[email protected] /import BusinesArea.eex
All seems to works fine,but when I try to open one of the exported workbooks I get
the next error:
1) First a dialog box appears asking me for "Open the workbook in the current db
account."
2) when I accept the previous option, I get an Error dialog box with the "Missing
Item condition" text.
Apparently the conditions are not exported to the file.
Does anyone know how could I export all the X schema Business area conditions,
in order to import them to the Y schema, avoiding this error?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Thanks for your answer Skunitha,
Well, just to clarify this a little bit more my question:
I'm trying to open the workbooks using the discoverer desktop client (9.0.2.39.01) and the conditions were created in the desktop not in the administrator.
Well the process I'm runnig a script to delete the EUL in the Y schema, create a new EUL (in the Y schema), and import into the Y schema the exported BA from the X schema.
All works fine, but when I open in the Administrator the recent imported Business Area in Y, I can see all the folders and its items, But when I open the Desktop to select one of the workbooks, the workbook list appears empty.
I made what you said Skunitha, to validate the folders and I getting beside the folders the next error:
ORA-02019: connection description for remote database not found
Does any body know why I'm getting this?

Business Area import issue

In Test I had to delete a couple folders from a Business Area(BA). But after migration a new copy of BA into Production those folders still appear. Here is my migration plan:
1. Export the BA from Test
2. Import the BA into Production using the following criteria:
- Refresh the object and then check the sub-box called Preserve display related properties
- two objects be matched by Identifier
3. Refresh the BA
Also I`d like to mention that this BA was in Production before Migration
Thank you in Advance.

Does this help and what do the other Discoverer experts think about what I have said?

JDev 10.1.3.3 - issues with imported Business Components

Hi,
I have got some issues with importing Business Components in JDev 10.1.3.3.
I cannot discover/use the imported components.
What I did is the folowing:
1. In a existing project I extended the default base-classes to create our own layer
2. created a project called ModelShared
2a. configured the project to use the base-classes I created in step 1
2b. created an entitybased-viewobject (RefCodesByDomain)
2c. created bc deployment-descriptors
3. created a project called RelatieModel in the same workspace as ModelShared
3a. added dependencies to the deployment-descriptors as well as the project created in step 2
3b. configured the project to use the base-classes I created in step 1
3c. imported business components
Although I did not recieve any errors during the import of business components, I am unable to add the vo (RefCodesByDomain) to a service.
I do see the package which contains the vo but is has no entries.
Importing the business components to a new BC Project in a seperate workspace did succeed (I could reuse the vo).
I tested a little further and the folowing occurred:
4. I created a new vo in the ModelShared Project
5. I deployed the ModelShared
6. Restarted JDeveloper
7. Got the folowing error message in the console window when expanding a service in my datacontrol pallette:

8. In my other "fresh" bc project I was able to use the newly created vo.
9. When I added a VO to my shared project, all projects that are refering to the shared project loose their vo's in the data-controlpannel
Do you have any suggestions?
