Oracle Install Base API question

Hi...I need help. I am writing an extension to the Service Fulfillment Manager (SFM) Transactions
Here is a functional background:
For all SFM message types, SFM exposes the PL/SQL code in the iMessage studio. iMessage studio is an Oracle EBS Application tool. The PL/SQL for the following message types will be modified:
·     Sales Order Shipment - CSISOSHP
·     Miscellaneous Receipt - CSIMSRCV
·     Receipt into Inventory – CSIPOINV
The processing logic for each of these transaction types contains a call to an Installed Base package and stores the return status in a variable. For PO Receipt and SO Issue transactions referencing serial numbers prefixed by the Vertical Bar (‘|’) character this call will be bypassed and a successful status placed in the return status variable.
For PO Receipt and Miscellaneous Receipt transactions referencing serial numbers not prefixed by the Vertical Bar (‘|’) character, the processing logic will be extended to extract the IUID value from the serial numbers table in the Oracle Inventory module (MTL_SERIAL_NUMBERS) and call the public IB Application Programming Interface (API) (CSI_ITEM_INSTANCE_PUB.UPDATE_ITEM_INSTANCE) to update the associated IB instance with the IUID.
OK, so Question #1:
I get all I need to do is bypass the code in 2 instances if a bar is found at the beginning of the serial number.. And I can do that. But where is this serial number? I assume it is stored in MTL_SERIAL_NUMBERS but how do I get it?
The code doesn't have it stored as a variable, and it doesn't seem to have the IB record either. Is there a foreign key? Anyone have imessage studio and can look into that?
Question #2:
To update the IB record with the serial number I need to make a call to the below procedure. The thing is, it seems to require the IB instance record. Again, I don't have that cause the code is creating it! Is there some way to get that created record back and pass it into the update procedure?
PROCEDURE update_item_instance
p_api_version IN NUMBER
,p_commit IN VARCHAR2
,p_init_msg_list IN VARCHAR2

OK! I found the instance id!
But when trying to get the IB record, the API fails. Can someone take a look at this...what's wrong?

Extract / Report of Installed Base and partners related to compoents

Hello,
we use SolMan 3.2 and want to create different reports about the installed base (ib) and the businesspartner related to the ib-components. How can we extract all data of the installed base or does already exist any SAP InfoSet? Are there any function modules or views? Unfortunately we haven't found any useful tables or views.
Best regards,
Marcus

Hi Marcus,
Please have a look at the function module BAPI_IBASE_GET_DETAIL and BAPI_IBASE_COMP_GET_DETAIL.
To play around the partners for the IBASE refer the function module:

Parent and Child relation in Install Base R12

Hi,
Could you let me know the query for, when i pass Instace_ID I should get Parent_Instance details,Child_Instance details along with parent part_numbers and child part_numbers.
I tried using below query, but I m missing child details and child part_numbers, any suggestions.
select distinct

ciic.instance_id child_instance_id,
ciip.instance_number parent_instance_number,

and ciic.inventory_item_id = msic.inventory_item_id
--and ciip.instance_id=46725
order by ciip.instance_id,ciip.instance_number;
Thanks.

Did you check if the serial ABN656 is the parent and has child components under it? Check the below query for the same. Additionally you can also navigate to Oracle Installed Base Agent User responsibility, search for ABN656, click on the record, navigate to Configuration tab and see if this serial has any child components.
select *
from csi_ii_relationships cir
,csi_item_instances cii
where cii.serial_number = 'ABN656'
and cii.instance_id = cir.object_id
Thanks

Oracle Install Base - Where to find Queries related to parties and Loaction

Hi All,
Did anybody looked in Installed Base module, from where the party and location addresses are coming.
for example, when we select a party name and select GO button in the create item instance page , we will get some list of parties to select. From there we will select one party name.
I want in which jsp or java file the Query is located to retrieve all the parties here.
If anybody worked on this previously please help me.
Thanks in advance,
Murali.

Try putting 'CSI_DEBUG=TRUE&' in the url....right after '.jsp?'

How to link Sales Order with Service Contract and then with Install Base?

Hi Friends,
1) I would like to know the integeration process from sales order to Service Contract and then with Install Base.
2) I couldn't see anything enabled in Service Tab in Order Lines, its grayed out. Is there any set up/profile option to get it enabled?
3) How can we create AR invoice from Service Contract?
Please let me know if anyone has idea on this.
Thanks in Adavance,
Vara

Dear Sid,
Thanks for your promt response.
Let me explain you what I did.
1) I have booked a Bill Only sales order which has one order line, mentioned it as Service Item and provided the same details in Service Tab in Order lines. Now Line status is "Fulfilled"
2) Then Submitted Workflow Back Ground Process for OM Order Lines and it has created an AR Invoice and closed the line
3) And then submitted "Service Contracts Order Capture Integration Program" from SErvice Contracts Responsibility and it completed normal.
4) Now I went in to Launch Contracts Window and queried with the sales order but couldn't see any contract created
5) Then I went in to Reprocess Order Window and found this order shows an error message as "Referenced Product not present in the Installed Base", then I tried to reprocessed it, but the same error message again.
Here I have few doubts:
1) Are the AR invoice and Service Contract Billing Invoices same?
2) In above scenario AR Invoice has been created, I would like to do the billing from SErvice Contracts and need to create an Invoice in AR? how can I do that?
because as you explained in one of my questions earlier, A Single Invoice can be created for the whole duration of the contract. I want to do that and trying for the same.
3) Regarding the above error message, how can I resolve it and create the service contract against that Order?
Thank you so much for your helpful answers.
Regards,
Vara

How to update item instance in oracle install base?

Hi,
I have a doubt in updating item instance in oracle install base.
I am using a API named csi_item_instance_pub.update_item_instance for this. I want to update Party OWNER, party contacts, Current location,Install location, bill_to address,ship_to address..etc. When i try to update party owner, it is updating in csi_i_parties(col:party_id) as well as updating in csi_item_instance(owner_party_id). In csi_item_instance table,owner_party_id column is updated. but corresponding owner_party_account_id is not changed. I have given party_account_id to update in csi_ip_accounts table. It has changed in csi_ip_accounts table. But in csi_item_instance table(owner_party_account_id) is not changing. Can anybody help on how to change owner_party_account_id in csi_item_instance table please? Thanks in advance.
--Muruga
Edited by: Murugeshapps on Jul 1, 2009 12:07 AM

Out of the box, I don't think that there is any API or program to delete the records from csi_item_instances because deleting IB record affects many modules (like Inventory, Order, Service Contracts etc). IB records should be expired if they are created incorrectly and you can run Transaction History Purge program to delete all history records related to that item.

Oracle Installed Base

Does the Oracle Installed Base system, lend itself to being populated with Install Base data from legacy ERP systems? It's my impression that the Install Base data, starts in inventory and ends at a customer location, but is it a requirement that everything start in inventory?
Thanks

is it a requirement that everything start in inventory?Nope, I usually start from scratch.
Seriously now:
Give us a clear picture, if possible, provide some links or whatever. Anything.

Software Metering Report - Install base for all metered software programs - Returns 0

Hi All
I have an issue with one of the software metering reports, Install base for all metered software programs. when run it returns that the metered software is installed on 0 computers.
All usage reports seem to work correctly and I can see usage data for the monitored applications. But anything related to install base such as the one listed above and "Computers that have a metered program installed but have not run the program since
a specific date" either return 0 or are blank.
Any help will be greatly appreciated

Hi All
finally found a fix to the problem. It was very closely related to what Gareth had mentioned regarding Asset Intelligence. The actual method of detecting if a program is installed is done through Software Inventory
Under Custom Client Settings i had enabled Software Inventory on client but never setup any rules to gather data. So i created a new rule for all *.exe files and around an hour later the report started to show up clients.
This blog post also describes the method of setting up software inventory correctly
Thanks to all the help and hopefully this will aid anyone else encountering similar problems

Here are some of the questions that I thought could be useful:
Briefly describe about your basis experience
What procedure would you follow to stop and restart SAP
What's the purpose of the file arch<SID>.log
When would you go for a full backup and when would you go for a whole backup?
Which transaction would you use to find out the last processed and saved archive log?
Where can I find the alert in SAP when a file system at UNIX is above 95%?
Where in SAP can I find if SAPOSCOL is running or not
What would you do to start SAPOSCOL?
How to find what's the latest patch level for HP-UX
Whats the procedure to install patches?
What kernel level were you at?
Whats the procedure to Upgrade Kernel?
What is a system copy, why would I need a system copy? How often have you performed a system copy? Can you explain the steps involved in performing a system copy?
How many Oracle upgrades have you performed for SAP?
Have you performed a language import to your system?
Explain your typical day of spool administration?
If I want to know who made the last change to a specific role how would you find it?
Which transaction would show roles added and removed from a user?
What is Central User Administration? And how would you perform user administration in a CUA environment?
Can I make any config changes in Production server?
Assuming the Development server is open for changes but, when you perform a config change and save it, its prompting you to create a transport request. What would I have to do to save config changes without creating a transport?
What storage array have you got exposed to?
What tape drives have you administered?
How would I stop a backup job at the Unix level?
What command would I use to find if a tape drive is UP or not?
Award points if my post is helpful.
Thank you.

How to extract CRM Install Base's serial # to BW?

Hello Gurus,
I'm working on CRM services area. Now the questions is I have a requirement to extract Install Base's equipment serial number to BW. In a service order I can get Component number. With that component number I can go to IB53 tcode and check the serial #. But my question is how can I extract that # to BW side.
Is there any FM which return Serial#, Equipment location. etc when I pass component #?? So, that I can enhance with this field to service order header datasource.
Or else are there any other ways to solve this?
Thanks in adv
RKR

HI,
I used this DataSource to get IBase detials. 0CRM_SRV_IBASE_TRAN. But this DataSource doesn't have any DSO. So, I created a custom DSO on this DataSource.
This data source doesn't return equipment serial #, location, etc... To get those we need to enhaced the data source.
Let me know if you have any questions regrding this...
Thanks
RKR

Clarity on basics of oracle Install Base

I am not getting clarity over the below mentioned items even after going thru documents. Can anybody please highlight on these...
--> what exactly is an instance in install base and how is it associated to a serial number of an item or product?
--> what is meant by maintaining relationship between instances?
--> At what position specific to Service Contracts / Order Management / Shipping applications, an instance gets created or updated in install base?
--> what is meant by serial control over an item from an shipping organization perspective?
--> what are the other applications that can be a source for an Install Base transaction?
Thanks,

Two related questions: ColdFusion 10/Java applications and J2EE supported servers

I have two related questions:
1. CF10 and integration with Java Web applications
We have a couple of Java applications running on JRun and interfacing with CF9 applications. The JRun clusters were created through the JRun Admin and, apart from lack of Axis 2.0 support, have served us well for years now. And, as would be the case, the ColdFusion9/Java/Flash application is a critical public-facing application that the business uses for bidding on projects.
It appears that with ColdFusion 10 on Tomcat, we will not be able to run those Java applications on a Tomcat-CF10 JVM cluster. Is this correct? IF so, what are our options?
2. J2EE Application Servers supported by Adobe for CF10
Which of these is correct?
A. This URL (http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion-enterprise/faq.html) states "ColdFusion 10 supports IBM® WebSphere, Oracle® WebLogic, Adobe JRun, Apache Tomcat, and JBoss."
B. This URL (http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/products/coldfusion/pdfs/cf1 0/coldfusion10-support-matrix.pdf) states:
"J2EE application servers: WebLogic Server 10.3, 11.1, WebSphere Application Server 7, ND 7 JBoss 5.1, 6.0, 7.1.0"
I *think* "A" above is wrong re. support for Adobe JRun. It does not specify a version of Apache Tomcat unless it is simply referring to the custom version the comes with CF10.
Option "B" above shows no support of Adobe JRun or 'standard' Apache Tomcat.
Thanks,
Scott

Question 1 above was answered: "No support for Java web applications under CF10's custom version of Tomcat"
Question 2: No answer yet: Is Apache Tomcat (NOT Adobe's customized version) supported for CF10 J2EE deployment? I do not see any installation instructions on how to install CF10 on Apache Tomcat 6 or 7.
Is anybody using Apache Tomcat as their J2EE app servers and, again, NOT Adobe's customized/limited version?
Thanks,
Scott
