Import Standard Business Area of Oracle Applications

Dear all,
I install Discoverer Administration 4i and i create EUL (Apps) to connect to Oracle Applications 11.5.0, when I import Standard(BASE) Business Area of Applications
,some BA are imported but not all.
Can anyone help me to import all BA ?
Thanks to all

Hi,
If you are just starting off, then you would be better off using the latest Discoverer 10g as Discoverer 4i is in de-support mode by Oracle.
see
Note 237607.1
Note 313418.1 Using Discoverer 10.1.2 with Oracle E-Business Suite 11i
the java EUL command-line, comes with a logging feature.

How to Copy Standard Business Areas in Oracle apps

Does anyone knows how we can copy new Standard BUsiness Areas in Oracle Apps for fresh implementations.
Thanks

Hi,
You can export the business area and then import it selecting the option to create a new version of duplicated items.
However, I wouldn't recommend doing this. If you just want a new business area, then create a new business area and use manage folders to move the folders you want into the business area. In general there is no need to copy the folders for new implementations but if you want to add copies of folders into the new business area then drop and drop the folders into the new business area.

Import selected business area from an exported EUL file

Hi,
Iam using Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer 10g Release 2 (10.1.2.1) , Is there a way to import selected business Area from an Exported EUL file into the Discoverer.
Thanks,
Krishna

Hi Krishna,
We cannot import a specific business area from the exported file as the file is combo of all BA's in .eex format.
Instead before exporting process,i.e when going through the export wizard you can select specific business area required and then import it.Hope this helps you.

How R12 seeded (standard) business areas are created in fresh EUL

Hi,
As per Note ID 1074326.1 under section "6.8. Import Discoverer Content for E-Business Suite Release 12 using adupdeul.sh mode=complete"
all the existing business areas are also included while import.
Kindly let me know how R12 seeded (standard) business areas are created in fresh EUL.
Regards,

Hi,
The adupdeul.sh script uses the Java command line utility to import the EUL stored in the .eex files that are included in the R12 installation.

Development Area of Oracle Applications

Can someone higlight the importance of PL/SQL in Oracle Applications. Should a person working in Oracle Applications know about creating various types of triggers, conceptual and working experience of SQL loader, API, etc if wants to work in the development area or it is applicable to administration and development?
Are there any additional languages that a person should a know if a person wants to work in development or administration area of Oracle Applications.
Hope there is no ambiguity.
Thank you
Adith

It mostly applicable in development area, but some knowledge in PL/SQL area and API could help in administration area.
Additional languages for Oracle applications you need to learn for Oracle Applications is java IMHO. It is used for OA Framework pages and also java concurrent programs, also unix shell/scripting would be useful.
Oh yes one more thing should be XPath/XQuery for BI Publisher.
For tools it would be JDevelopers, Reports, BI Publisher, Forms, Workflow, etc.

Can w use rsync for Business Continuity for Oracle Applications Release12 ?

Hi ,
One of our customer has implemented Oracle EBS R12 (12.0.6) on HP-UX (IA).
Database Tier on a Two Node Oracle Database 10g R2 RAC
Application Tier on Two Node using Shared APPL_TOP with Load Balancer.
They want to implement DR site using Oracle Data Guard (RAC to Non-RAC).
I was referring to Note: 452056.1 +( Business Continuity for Oracle Applications Release 12 on Database Release 10gR2 - Single Instance and RAC )+.
In this note its mentioned that:
If you wish to synchronize your concurrent manager log and out files between production and standby, you need to create folders matching to the APPLCSF environment variables for each others......................... For example, set up an rsync job similar to the below example in cron, to run every few minutes.
Can we use rsync for Production systems without any issues? Customer is concerned about using freeware on their Production systems.
Rgds,
Thiru.

Business Publisher in Oracle Application Server

Hi
I am attempting to deploy BPA Business Publisher (10.1.3.4) to an Oracle 10.1.3.4 Application Server and I have very little in the way of instruction or documentation as to how to undertake this task.
The BPA installation and Administration guides state that using an Oracle Application Server is a supported configuration for the Business Publisher with little or no further information on how to achieve this!
I have managed to deployed and configure, to the best of my current knowledge, the businesspublisher.war along with its required data sources, DAO changes, etc.
I can access the Business Publisher web interface and his shows that no exports currently exist.
I have attempt to add the new Oracle Application Server based Business Publisher Server to my Business Publisher Architect (i.e. but it keeps failing to connect and BPA hangs until I force it to end!)
I can see that the BPA Repository host is establishing a connection with the Business Publisher host on port 17059 (the default port) but nothing else happens.
[oracle@***]$ netstat -a | grep 17059
tcp 0 0 *:17059 *:* LISTEN
tcp 111 0 host.domain:17059 host.domain.:2519 ESTABLISHED
I have undertaken a number of successful installation, deployments and exports from BPA to Business Publisher utilising TomCat on Windows, Linux and SUN but have now been completely stopped on how to undertake this on Oracle Application Server.
Can any one point me in the direction of any documentation or information on how to achieve this task?
John

Hi Joseph
Many thanks for the info.
I had raised an SR in Metalink as well as requesting info here and Metalink gave me a ftp link to the document.
This solved my problems as I needed to undertake the extra configurations in opmn.xml, webappserver.cfg and add a .jar file (these are not shown anywhere in the standard BPA admin or install guides!!)
Once all these done it works like a dream and users state it is faster then a Tom Cat based deployment.
Cheers
John

Business Logic in Oracle Applications (General Question)

Hello everyone!
I am relatively new to Oracle Apps and interested in learning and joining this community.
I was trying to figure out how is the Business Logic programmed in E-Business Suite. Is it just PL/SQL or is it BC4J? Is there anyone who could help me answer this question or point me in the right direction (I went through the documentation very quickly (it is rather large so it was only "briefly") and could not find anything that would answer my question exactly)
By Business Logic I mean business-related tasks such as "enter a journal entry" or "issue sales order" (with a higher or lower level of granularity of course)
Any help is much appreciated !

Just to expand on Bala's answer, it depends on how your application is architected.
If you have a Forms based application, then your Business Logic (BL) resides in PLSQL. The forms tier performs the basic validation and partial BL execution and passes the data to the handlers in the database to perform the DMLs and initiate required Business Process.
If you have a OA Fwk based application, then your BL could reside either in BC4J or PLSQL. There are OA Fwk applications that are written that performs some business logic execution within the middle tier and passes the rest to underlying PLSQL code. Take for example an application that was originally written in Forms but later on extended or migrated to OA Fwk. Since most of the BL was already written in PLSQL and some of the forms would still be using the same PLSQL APIs, it essential that the OA Fwk based application too uses those APIs to be in synch.
If you are designing a new application to be based on OA Fwk, it is strongly recommended that you go with your BL as much as on the middle tier.
So it all depends... :)
Thanks

Pre-built Business Areas for Oracle Apps?

Hello all,
I'd like to know if there are any 'boiler-plate' Business Areas that come with
Oracle Apps 11i?
I'm building a Discoverer reporting environment over Oracle Apps 11i.
Apps 11i, if you don't know, is enormous! I'd like some 'off-the-shelf'
material to start with.
Thanks.

Yes you need to review Doc ID: 139516.1 Discoverer 4i with Oracle Applications 11i from metalink to set them up.
Good Luck/Richard

Export/import OWB Business Area definitions

i have generated the Business Area definition (Logical Tree) in OWB. I can now see the Dimension and Facts definition within the logical tree section.
i then did a metadata export using the Discoverer4 bridge and saved into an EEX file. I did not get any errors in this process.
when i imported the EEX file into my existing Discoverer EUL (the owner and admin is similar to what i specified earlier in the OWB export process), i get a list of warnings saying things like 'There are invalid characters ~![] used'. The import was still flagged as successful.
The thing is, i now get sort of a duplicate entry for each item i defined in OWB. Eg. i have a Product dimension (DIM_PROD), i see a "grayed out" entry with the name 'DIM_PROD' and also another entry called 'DIM_PROD: Default'. seems like Discoverer is treating the latter as the active item ... the same goes for my Facts.
i could still build Discoverer Workbooks but now i have a very messy and duplicate items with no use when i log into Discoverer Admin. i have attempted to delete them (and succeeded with no side effects) but when i redo an import (to refresh changes i did in OWB), i get the same result again !!
any idea why this is the case ?
i am using OWB Client 9.0.2.62.3, OWB Repository 9.0.2, Discoverer Admin Client/EUL library 9.0.2.39.01 (EUL 5.0.0.0.0.0)
i suspect it's the metadata import/export process ...
thanks for any replies in advance !

thanks for any replies in advance ! Duncan,
This is not an error but the intended behavior when the dimensional reuse is activated. Dimensional reuse is a feature that allows you to use the same dimension more than once in the same design (for example, the time dimension can be used for ORDER_DATE and SHIP_DATE against the same fact table. Please refer to the appendix E of the OWB user guide, 'Exporting Metadata to Discoverer 4i and 9i' chapter for more details.

Not Standard Business Area determination

I need to determine Business Area acording to storage locations. I know that this solution is poor, but I cannot choose another way.
Storage loactions are already known during goods issue in delivery. So during, postings materials in delivery, Businness area should be determined/ changed. New business area must be updated also in related sales order, because from this document is taken into invoice and posting documents. What user exist should I use?
Maybe business area can be determined already during invoice creation? What do You think.
Thanks in advance for help!
/gosia
Edited by: Malgorzata Paraficz on Aug 11, 2010 2:59 PM

Hello Gosia
I think you can influence Business Area determination during invoice creation:
Try Include LV60AA89 (Form VBRP_GSBER_ERMITTELN) in which you have the enhancement spot:
ENHANCEMENT-POINT VBRP_GSBER_ERMITTELN_01 SPOTS ES_SAPLV60A.
The include also uses Function module RV_BUSINESS_AREA_DETERMINE.
Work with an ABAPer ( if you are not one).
Let me know if it helps.

Refresh Standard Business Area - Now have multiple flexfield segments

Hi,
Having a problem with one of the business area's not showing the correct folders in a UAT environment, so i refreshed the Business Area (right click -> refresh). We have 2 chart of accounts, 2 sets of books, 2 operating units etc, and now its added in a GL flexfield segment for each Chart of Accounts instead of the individual ones before hand. See pic below. This is a real problem, and this needs reverting back to how it was. We have 2 EUL's, one on Disco V4, and the other on Disco V10.
Image: !http://homepage.ntlworld.com/slythgoe/disco_problem.JPG!
Would appreciate any help on this as its going to cause so many problems.

Hi Gary
When you did the refresh you would have been warned that Discoverer had uncovered changes between the folder in EUL and the object in the database. In order to get where you are you would have had to have accepted the changes because Discoverer will not of its own accord change your folder unless you agree to let it do so.
Just restore the folder from the last backup. That would be the easiest way of getting it back the way it was. If you don't have a backup then you'll have to manually work the folder to get it back into a clean state. I don't think you have damaged your EUL. You've just either got to restore the folder from a backup or manually put it back to rights. If you haven't been taking EUL Export backups now would be a good time to start.
The moral of the story is to pay close attention to what Discoverer reports when you ask it to do a refresh. If you see something you don't understand and need to check it out you should click the Cancel button. The EUL will be left unchanged and you can go and determine what is going on.
Best wishes
Michael

Importing Standard POs 11.0.3

Does anybody have any experience importing standard purchase orders into Oracle Applications 11.0.3?
The Purchasing Documents Open Interface (POXPDOI) only supports requisitions and blanket POs in 11.0.3. Standard purchase orders are supported by the interface in 11i, but upgrading is not an option at this time. So we must find a workaround.
Wondering if anybody has overcome this challenge. Ideally we want to be able to support creation of new POs and updating of POs (changing quantities, adding lines, etc.). Any help would be appreciated.
Have not been able to fool the interface, even trying to populate the interface and invoking PO_INTERFACE_S (which is how workflow turns approved requisitions into POs). We are even considering alternatives such as scripting the POs into the forms UI using Winrunner or DataLoad or something similar.
Thanks,
Chris

I am working on importing standard purchase orders. The documents I have found indicate there is a concurrent program you can run to import the POs from the PO INTERFACE tables.
Did you have any luck getting your POs imported?
