Interoperability patches and Functional Prerequisites

Besides prerequisites, sometimes the patch readme's include Interoperability patches and Functional Prerequisites. It seems these patches are needed only if you use the particular product. I have some questions about such patches.
1) If I skip these and one day I need to activate those product, how to find out what such patches are needed? Or is it needed to install all these patches (which may have further prerequisites) anyway?
2) What's the difference between Interoperability patches and Functional Prerequisites?
3) Sometimes the Interoperability patches are for a product family... Is there any document on what applications are there in a product family?
Thanks!

Please see (Interoperability Notes Oracle EBS Release 11i with Oracle Database 10.2.0.4 [ID 1135973.1], "Section 2: Upgrading an Existing Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0) patch set") for all the patches you need to apply.
Thanks,
Hussein

  • UK Public sector : Teachers Pension Patch and Functional Setup

    Hi
    I have a query regarding the functional setup for the above. (I am assuming / expecting answer from those who have done this setup already and they know/gone thorugh the patch readme file )
    I am trying to use the code provided in the patch readme file to findout correct tier for pension contribution..In order to do that I need the Annual FTE Salary inside fast formula.
    The patch readme says ,
    Once the Formula has retrieved the pension contribution Rate, it needs to be
    applied to the actual earnings in the period.
    l_tps_emp_contr_sal = FULL_TIME_ANNUAL_SALARY_TPS_ASG_TRANSFER_PTD
    However I am getting zero value for FULL_TIME_ANNUAL_SALARY_TPS_ASG_TRANSFER_PTD.
    i.e. l_tps_emp_contr_sal is zero which is being passed to
    l_EE_Contribution_Percent = to_number(GET_TABLE_VALUE
    ('PQP_TPA_PENSIONABLE_PAY_RANGE',
                                       'Employee Contribution Rate',
                                       to_char(l_tps_emp_contr_sal)))
    and nothing is coming up.....
    How do I get the correct value of FULL_TIME_ANNUAL_SALARY_TPS_ASG_TRANSFER_PTD ?
    The readme says following
    FTE Salary/Amount
    The Annual salary is the Gross Full Time Equivalent salary based on which the
    band should be decided. There can be multiple elements per assignment that
    could be populating this value and each element may have different
    configurations for example:
    a. Element may have annual value from which a period value is calculated
    b. Period value to be paid
    The above this can be further classified based on
    a. usage of working pattern or working hours
    b. Full time salary
    c. Part time salary.
    a. One time payment on which Annualisation may not be applied but FTE should
    be applied.
    b. One time payment on which Annualisation may be applied but FTE should
    not be applied.
    c. Annual Value on which FTE should be applied.
    d. Annual Value on which FTE should not be applied
    There are many more variants to the scenarios described above.
    To achieve the calculation of the Gross Annual Full Time Equivalent salary
    for all possible scenarios the seeded element FTE Annualised Pay should be
    used by the customer.
    In order for the Pension contribution rate to be determined, the FTE annual
    salary effective at the period in question, must be available.
    It is presumed that the FTE value will be available for the current elements
    that customer uses for paying the teachers as it would be needed to determine
    the actual payment value for the period.
    This value will be fed to the new seeded element (FTE Annualised Pay) by the
    individual element formula.
    Suggested changes for determining Annual Full Time value:
    Suggested changes in elements formula for determining Annual Full Time value:
    The following statements should be added to the existing earnings element
    formula. These are suggested changes to the existing formulae to derive the
    Annual FTE salary.
    Case 1: If the Element Formula has access to Annual FTE Value.
    return_Annual_inf = ANNUAL_VALUE
    /*Assign Annual FTE Value for this element to variable return_Annual_inf*/
    Case 2: If the Element formula has access to only to Period value and
    Annual FTE Value is not stored anywhere.
    return_Annual_inf = (PERIOD_VALUE * PAY_STATUTORY_ANNUAL_PERIODS)
    /* Assign Period Full time Value for this element multiplied by standard
    DBI for annual periods to local variable return_Annual_inf */
    Case 3: If the Element formula has access to only to Annual Part time value
    and Annual FTE Value is not stored anywhere.
    return_Annual_inf = ANNUAL_VALUE / ASG_FTE_VALUE
    /* Assign Period Full time Value for this element multiplied by standard
    DBI for annual periods to local variable return_Annual_inf */
    Case 4: If the Element formula has access to only to Period Part time value
    and Annual FTE Value is not stored anywhere.
    return_Annual_inf=(PERIOD_VALUE*PAY_STATUTORY_ANNUAL_PERIODS)/ASG_FTE_VALUE
    /* Assign Period Full time Value for this element multiplied by standard
    DBI for annual periods then divided by standard DBI for FTE to local
    variable return_Annual_inf */
    Note:
    The new local variable return_annual_inf should be returned from formula to
    the new seeded information element FTE Annualized Pay.

    Hi
    I recently did an evaluation of this patch, and I did get it to work; however, in order to do so I needed to amend some other formulas for e.g. calculation of salary, so that the annualised FTE figure was returned from the formula. This was then referenced in the formula result rules for the annual salary element, to feed that new result to the seeded element provided in the patch ('FTE Annualised Pay'). That then fed the balance.
    It's a major headache as you will have to similarly amend all formulas/result rules pertaining to elements that could form part of the reckonable pay for this calculation.
    Where I am, we won't be using it as we had to come up with our own solution to stand any chance of being 'legal' in time for April.
    Hope this is of use

  • Best Practice for Portal Patches and effort estimation

    Hi ,
    One of our client is applying the following patches
    1. ECC 6.0 SP15(currently SP14)
    2. ESS MSS SP15(currently SP14 with some level of functional customization )
    3. EP 7 SP18(currently SP14)
    We would like to kwow the best practice for applying portal patches and the effort estimation for redoing the portal devt on the new patch.
    o   What is the overall level of effort with applying Portal patches?
    o   How are all the changes to SAP objects handle?  Do they have to be
         manually re-entered?
    o  What is the impact of having a single NWDI instance across the
        Portal Landscape during the Patch process?
    Regards,
    Revathi Raju.

    Hi Revathi,
    o What is the overall level of effort with applying Portal patches?
    overall effort to apply the patch is apprx 1/2-1 days for NW7 system. This is exclude the patch files download because it's based on your download speed.
    o How are all the changes to SAP objects handle? Do they have to be
    manually re-entered?
    Depending on your customization. Normally it wont effect if you created the customzation application apart from SAP standard application
    o What is the impact of having a single NWDI instance across the
    Portal Landscape during the Patch process?
    Any change that related to NWDI, you might be need to re-deployed from NWDI itself.
    Thanks

  • Win7 IE8 compliance with 11i EBS - Interoperability patch for JRE plugin

    Gurus,
    I was just looking at note 290807.1 on metalink. One of the required patches is the ...
    APPLICATIONS 11i INTEROPERABILITY PATCH FOR THE JRE NATIVE PLUGIN
    After reading the "readme" about the patch, it doesn't exactly state it's purpose. Is this the patch which will allow both WinXP and Win7 to both utilize 11i EBS on the application server?
    I need to make sure that once we upgrade, OA forms will still be available to our Win XP users. The note doesn't make any explicit statement about this.
    Thanks,

  • Difference between Rollup patch and family pack

    Hi all,
    thanks in advance to you all who helps me out with this question
    can any one differentiate between Rollup patch and Family pack patch.
    thanks,
    Vamshi.D

    In addition to the above ...
    Rollup Patch (RUP): An aggregation of patches that may be at the functional level, or at a specific product/family release level. For example, a Flexfields rollup patch contains all the latest patches related to Flexfields at the time the patch was created. A Marketing Family 11.5.10 rollup patch contains all the latest Marketing patches released since, and applicable to 11.5.10
    Family Pack: An aggregation of patches at the product family level. Family product codes always end in "_PF" and family packs are given alphabetical sequence such as 11i.HR_PF.B, 11i.HR_PF.C, and 11i.HR_PF.D. Family packs are cumulative. In other words, Discrete Manufacturing Family Pack G (11i.DMF_PF.G) contains everything in 11i.DMF_PF.F, which contains everything in 11i.DMF_PF.E, and so on.
    If you search the rollup patch thru Metalink, it would tell you whether it is included in any other patchset (i.e. Family Pack) or not.

    Hi,
        Unit testing :
                    A complete cycle of each  module will be tested

  • Diff b/w BAPI and Function Module.

    What is the difference between BAPI and Function Module....
    By Interface programming do we mean posting data thru  BAPI,BDC....

    Hi Alex,
    BAPI: Standard Interface in the R/3 system that allows the system to communicate with components of other business suites.
    FM: These are the procedures that are defined in the Function Groups and can be called from any ABAP Program. FM allow you to encapsulate and reuse global functions int he R/3 system.
    The main basic difference between BAPI and FM are
    1) All BAPIs are FM but not all FMs are BAPIs
    2) BAPIs are remote enabled
    3) BAPIs interface will not have a changing and exceptions. They can not be used to have use dialog.
    Interface programs can post data to SAP either through a BDC, BAPI, IDOC etc. It depends on the type of requirement.
    Hope this solves your question.
    Enjoy SAP

  • Use of Procedure and Functions in ADF BC

    Hi,
    In ADF 11g
    1. can I use oracle function and procedures ( having in and OUT parameters) to expose as service interface
    2. if yes , How can this be done. and what are the allowed data types as input to procedure/function and can be returned by procedure/function
    3. How the transaction control will be achieved using ADF BC service interface.
    E.g. one ADF BC creates orders in order details and second creates Order lines in Order lines table. Now if order is created successfully but line creation fails then I want order to be rolled back also.
    Thanks.

    I have been updating my PSE since 10. Recently I purchased PSE13 as I didn't see an update for my 12. I was changing to a new laptop as my old laptop had been patched and worked and was showing signs of giving out. It was a Window's 7OS. My new one is a Windows 8 OS so I bought the 13 and downloaded it on the new laptop. Our desktop had died so I downloaded the 13 on the new  desk computer also. Not thinking I downloaded 13 on my old laptop as I hope to get it patched up enough to be a backup for my photography. When I tried to activate it I realized that I had downloaded it too often. I didn't know you could only use it on two computers. Learn something new every day.. Any way I removed it and now my PSE 12 does not seem to be working. Now it could be something that I did or something that is an issue with the laptop. this laptop has all the previous editions on board as I always tried to update, except for the year I got a really good deal on Black Friday. I also notice that the new laptop has a copy of PSE 12 in the program list. To my knowledge I have never deactivated any of my PSE's except the extra 13 downloaded. Bottom line, do I need to go in and deactivate previous PSE versions and removed them from my computer? I could certainly use the space and secondly, can I deactivate the PSE 12 and then go back and reacitivate it and install it again on the old laptop or the desktop, whichever I deside would be the most appropriate place for the newer program. For the PSE 12 since it is an updater for 11, does the 11   still need to be on the laptop? thanks for anyone who can understand what I am trying to say and can advise me as to my next move. Thank you very much.

    SSRS 2008 R2 is extremely slow.  The query runs in less than a second in the dataset designer but if you try to view the report it takes over 10 minutes.  I have read this is a bug in SSRS 2008 R2.  We installed the most recent patches and
    service packs.  Nothing we've done so far has fixed it and I see that I'm not the only person with this problem.  However I don't see any answers either.

    Hi Kim Sharp,
    According to your description that when you view the report it is extremely slow in SSRS 2008 R2 but it is very fast when execute the query in dataset designer, right?
    I have tested on my local environment and can‘t reproduce the issue. Obviously, it is the performance issue, rendering performance can be affected by a combination of factors that include hardware, number of concurrent users accessing reports, the amount
    of data in a report, design of the report, and output format. If you have parameters in your report which contains many values in the list, the bad performance as you mentioned is an known issue on 2008 R2 and already have the hotfix:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2276203
    Any issue after applying the update, I recommend you that submit a feedback at https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/ 
    If you don’t have, you can do some action to improve the performance when designing the report. Because how you create and update reports affects how fast the report renders.
    Actually, the Report Server ExecutionLog2  view contains reports performance data. You could make use of below query to see where the report processing time is being spent:
    After you determine whether the delay time is in data retrieval, report processing, or report rendering:
    use ReportServer
    SELECT TOP 10 ReportPath,parameters,
    TimeDataRetrieval + TimeProcessing + TimeRendering as [total time],
    TimeDataRetrieval, TimeProcessing, TimeRendering,
    ByteCount, [RowCount],Source, AdditionalInfo
    FROM ExecutionLog2
    ORDER BY Timestart DESC
    Use below methods to help troubleshoot issues according to the above query result :

    Hi
    The Win 7 drivers are not available for this unit at this time.
    But I found some Win 7 drivers on the Toshiba US driver page.
    Of course you will not find exactly the same X300 series but you can choose the drives released for Qosmio X305-xxxx
    There is no big difference between X300 and X305 so the Win 7 drivers should work too
