'INVALID_MSG......'

Hi All,
I have a bpel process with read adapter which reads the .txt input file,then transform activity and the output is given to the write adapter.
I deployed the process on to the server and dropped a txt file in the input directory.
The process read the file,but the file was rejected saying 'INVALID_MSG......'
any idea why does this happen
Thanks in adavnced.

Ashwini

Hi,
Can u please elaborate ur requirements and error message? R u using any XSD in the source side layout? may be Input file format is not the same as the input XSD format.
Thanks,

How to use the manually entered Hours/Days in the Duration field for BG_ABSENCE_DURATION

Hi All,
How to use the manually entered Hours/Days in the Duration field for BG_ABSENCE_DURATION fast formula?
Requirement is to restrict employees for applying for leave more than the accrued balance. In SSHR, apply leave functionality, the employee enters the start date, end date and duration manually. The entered duration must be used in the fast formula to check against available balance.
In the BG_ABSENCE_DURATION FF, I have a function to calculate the net accrual balance as on the calculation date.
I want to add the logic as - If to_number(Duration) /*[manually entered value]*/ > net accrual balance then
Duration = 'FAILED'
invalid_msg = 'Error'
return duration, invalid_msg
Thanks!

Hi,
We have a standard functionality to override the duration calculation and you don't need to add a validation for the same. Please set the value of profile option HR: Absence Duration Auto Overwrite to Yes
When you do this user will not have to enter the duration value manually. It will get auto calculated based on the duration calculation in BG_ABSENCE_DURATION when you click on the next button.
For not allowing negative leaves to be applied, If you are on R12 then, this is a standard functionality and you need to set profile option HR Allow Absence Negative Balance to No
If you are on 11i then refer Note: 268171.1: How Do You Stop Accrual Plans from Going Negative?
Try and let me know in case you need further help.

How to use DFF value in BG_ABSENCE_DURATION Fast formula

Hi All,
I would like to know how can we use DFF values in BG_ABSENCE_DURATION fast formula.
Can we pass them as input values?
Also, when we use them as DATABASE ITEMS how does Fast Formula identifies them.
For example I have created a DFF value HALF_DAY that can take either "YES" nor "NO".
I tried to use that as input value but that didnt work, not sure if it is possible at all or not.
I also tried to use that as Data Base ITEM, as follows:-
IF (ABSENCES_HALF_DAY WAS DEFAULTED ) then
duration = 'FAILED'
invalid_msg = 'DFF not working'
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Avinash
but i am getting following error when i access SSHR
Formula BG_ABSENCE_DURATION: ORA-01403: no data found ORA-01403: no data found Cause: During the PL/SQL execution part, an Oracle error was detected. Action: Please refer to your system administrator.

Thanks Vigneswar and Avaneesh for your helpful comments,
Actually I want to retrive the DFF value that I pass while applying the Leave Request and not that already stored in the data base. I checked and found that the query you have mentioned is retriving the data from base tables.
select target.ATTRIBUTE6 -- Attrinute6 is database item ABSENCES_HALF_DAY+
from    per_absence_attendances                target,+
per_all_assignments_f                  ASSIGN+
WHERE   sysdate BETWEEN ASSIGN.effective_start_date+
AND ASSIGN.effective_end_date+
AND    ASSIGN.assignment_id                  = 647--&B2+
AND    ASSIGN.assignment_type                = 'E'+
AND    target.person_id                      = ASSIGN.person_id+
AND    target.absence_attendance_id =+
*(select max (absence_attendance_id)*
from   per_absence_attendances+
where person_id   = ASSIGN.person_id+
and    date_start <= sysdate+
I have only added folloing lines In my BG_ABSENCE_DURATION FF
DEFAULT FOR ABSENCES_HALF_DAY is 'XX'+
if (1 = 1) then+
duration = 'FAILED'+
invalid_msg = 'DFF not working: '+ABSENCES_HALF_DAY+
But evry time output is *"DFF not working : Yes"* no matter what the value I am passing while applying leave. This value "Yes" is stored in DFF attribute 6 for the test employee and I guess FF is retriving this value from DATABSE not from current transaction.
Could you please help how to retrive run time data.
Thanks,
Avinash

Validation for absence duplicate

Dear brothers,
How can i validate the absence when the employee inserts it , like the employee inserted an absence from "01-jan-2012" to "05-jan-2012" ... and for any reason HRMS manager or he himself inserts again the same leave with same dates?
The system is raising caution only now i want it to raise error and stops the user and not let him complete the insertion for the same dates absence.
Any help please
Thank you

Hi,
We had the same requirements and solved it by calling a package to check whether any Absence is overlapping with any another. So write the below pl/sql.Once done . Register this function and called the function from "BG_ABSENCE_DURATION" . Note: test it in Test instance before doing it in Production instance.

               RETURN duration
                    ,invalid_msg

Where to find the validation for table

Hi Friends,
I'm new to HRMS. This is my senario. USers entering the Leave. When entering the leave, it is validating the leave days , and throws error. If they entering for the same person, same from date and same to date, it will show error that *'Record already exist'*. Otherwise , it will accept the new records. My situation is, if the person applied for 5 days. but he returned back into 4 days. So, when they tried to update those records also , it showing same error, *'Record already exist'*.
These validation they have done in fast formula..
IF(PFC_IN_CHECK_ABSENCE_OVERLAP(ASG_NUMBER,date_start,date_end)<>0) THEN
duration='FAILED'
invalid_msg='Your absence days are overlapping with an existing absence'
Procedure called in Fast Formula,
FUNCTION pfc_in_check_absence_overlap (p_employee_number VARCHAR2, p_start_date DATE, p_end_date DATE)
RETURN NUMBER
IS
CURSOR c_count
IS
SELECT 1
FROM per_absence_attendances absence,
per_absence_attendance_types absence_types,
per_all_people_f person
WHERE person.person_id = absence.person_id
AND absence.absence_attendance_type_id = absence_types.absence_attendance_type_id
AND TRUNC (SYSDATE) BETWEEN person.effective_start_date AND person.effective_end_date
AND person.employee_number = p_employee_number
AND ( (p_start_date BETWEEN absence.date_start AND absence.date_end)
OR (p_end_date BETWEEN absence.date_start AND absence.date_end)
l_count NUMBER := 0;
l_dummy c_count%ROWTYPE;
BEGIN
OPEN c_count;
FETCH c_count
INTO l_dummy;
IF c_count%FOUND
THEN
l_count := l_count + 1;
ELSE
l_count := 0;
END IF;
CLOSE c_count;
RETURN l_count;
END;
I need to change that, it should permit to update the records. Please let me know, how to do that, where to change and where to check.
Pl. help. This is little bit urgent.
Thanks in ADvance.
Mano

Can I confirm I understand your requirement correctly. Is this right:
* You have overlapping absence validation at the moment
* This errors whenever you try and create/update an absence where any day of this absence overlaps with an existing absence (ie, it starts between an existing absence, or ends between an existing absence)
* The problem with this validation in the case of update is that its validating against itself
Is that right?
If so, what you'd usually do in this case is get the cursor to ignore the absence being updated. For example:
FUNCTION pfc_in_check_absence_overlap (p_employee_number VARCHAR2, p_start_date DATE, p_end_date DATE, p_absence_attendance_id number default null)
RETURN NUMBER
IS
CURSOR c_count
IS
SELECT 1
FROM per_absence_attendances absence,
per_absence_attendance_types absence_types,
per_all_people_f person
WHERE person.person_id = absence.person_id
AND absence.absence_attendance_type_id = absence_types.absence_attendance_type_id
AND absence.absence_attendance_id <> nvl(p_absence_attendance_id, -1)
AND TRUNC (SYSDATE) BETWEEN person.effective_start_date AND person.effective_end_date
AND person.employee_number = p_employee_number
AND ( (p_start_date BETWEEN absence.date_start AND absence.date_end)
OR (p_end_date BETWEEN absence.date_start AND absence.date_end)
However, the problem here is getting hold of the absence_attendance_id. This isn't available to the Fast Formula, although I think if you're on release 12.1.3 it might be.
So with your current solution there's no way of getting the cursor to ignore the absence being updated. An alternative solution would be to implement this logic in API User Hooks on create_person_absence and update_person_absence. These hooks can pass in p_absence_attendance_id, which means you can then stop it erroring on itself.
If you moved to API User Hooks could you keep the same PLSQL as above (the version I modified). For more details on implement API User Hooks please see:
Understanding and Using Application Program Interface (API) User Hooks in Oracle HRMS [ID 73170.1]

R12 SSHR - Leave of Absence page error

HI,
I am filling the leave details like "From" & "To" date, selecting leave type etc. When I click "Next" button, I am getting an error message like "A compiled version of the formula 324 cannot be found.. Check that it exists and compiled..."

Dear Srikanth,
We are implementing HRMS and we are opting for custom Employee Number. I saw this messsage thread and was trying to find the EMP_NUMBER_GENERATION formulas, but was unable to find the formula.
Can you explain to me how to open this formula for incorporating my Custom logic for employee number Generation?
Can you guide me?

How to Customize Employee Number Generation?

m trying to generate a custom employee,applicant numbers through a dummy business group.
I've created on Application: Oracle E-Business 11.5.10.2 the work structure and am now on the step of customizing the employee generating number.
I followed the link steps:
Below steps already done:
Technical Side:
1- Create New Sequence in DB.
-----Sequence Code----------
DROP SEQUENCE APPS.APPSLEAD_CUST_NUMB;
CREATE SEQUENCE APPS.APPSLEAD_CUST_NUMB
START WITH 1
MAXVALUE 999999999999999999999999999
MINVALUE 0
NOCYCLE
NOCACHE
NOORDER;
2- Create New Package for issuing the numbers.
----------Package Code--------------
Create or replace package appslead_package as
Function get_emp_custom_number (
p_business_group_id IN number
,p_legislation_code IN varchar2
,p_person_type IN varchar2
,p_person_number IN varchar2
,p_party_id IN number
,p_person_id IN number
,p_national_id IN varchar2
,p_date_of_birth IN date
) return varchar2;
end appslead_package;
Create or replace package body APPSLEAD_PACKAGE as
Function GET_EMP_CUSTOM_NUMBER (
p_business_group_id IN number
,p_legislation_code IN varchar2
,p_person_type IN varchar2
,p_person_number IN varchar2
,p_party_id IN number
,p_person_id IN number
,p_national_id IN varchar2
,p_date_of_birth IN date
) return varchar2 as
/*Check if the person id is exists on the system or not*/
cursor person_exists is
select employee_number,applicant_number,npw_number
from per_all_people_f
where party_id = p_party_id;
--and p_effective_date between effective_start_date and effective_end_date;
lseq_num number;
l_next varchar2(30);
l_emp_num varchar2(30);
l_apl_num varchar2(30);
l_npw_num varchar2(30);
begin
open person_exists;
fetch person_exists into l_emp_num,l_apl_num,l_npw_num;
if person_exists%notfound then
Select to_char(Appslead_Cust_Numb.Nextval) Into lseq_num From Dual;
l_next := 'AppsLead-'||lseq_num;
return l_next;
Else
If p_person_type = 'EMP' then
l_next := l_emp_num;
Elsif p_person_type = 'APL' then
l_next := l_apl_num;
Elsif p_person_type = 'CWK' then
l_next := l_apl_num;
End if;
End if;
Close person_exists;
return l_next;
end get_emp_custom_number;
End appslead_package;
Functional Side:
1- Create or Modify Business Group Employee numbering method to Manual.
2- Create New Formula Function.
3- Create New Formula EMP_NUMBER_GENERATION with Type "Person Number Generation"
------Formula Script--------

Else
Invalid_msg = 'This is not an person_type of Employee!'
Return Next_Number
Now, when I create a new employee I need the employee number to appear as
"AppsLead-Emp-00001"
But its not, and the screen of employee master is not allow to create an employee without filling the number.
How to do the same?
What should be the Employee Number Generation ?
1- Automatic generation with Global Sequencing
2- Manual
If your answer is manual, in the employee master screen, the employee id is required and when you create the employee the id should be entered.

there are some fast formula you can use.
