Issue with OOTB Procurement and Spend report on top of W_AP_INV_DIST_F

We are implementing OBIEE 11g on top of EBS R12. Observed today that AP_INVOICE_DISTRIBURIONS_ALL has a lot of records with PO_DISTRIBUTION_ID as NULL (This is expected as this table holds not only PO but also Expense tyoe invoices). The mapping used to populate W_AP_INV_DIST_F (SDE_ORA_APInvoiceDistributionFact) uses the PO_Distribution_ID to derive Product_ID. Thus, in W_AP_INV_DIST_F a lot of lines exist with PRODUCT_WID of NULL (which is also understable).
My question is - In Procurement and Spend OOTB reports (for ex - Spend by Top Categories) , it is showing all records from W_AP_INV_DIST (and not filtering to Spend_Type of "PO Matched"). Thus, most of the records is going into the "Unspecified" bucket.
Any thoughts on why the OOTB report would work like that (This is affecting any OOTB report that is built on top of W_AP_INV_DIST_F and involves products or product categories)?

Out of curiosity, why do you only maintain 13 months of history in PeopleSoft? I have never heard of this. Dont the business users want to track PeopleSoft before 13 months? With regard to your question, given you are only able to load 13 months on a full load and this is impacting the links to the correct suppliers, you can consider keeping a refresh date on the tasks that load the W_SUPPLIER_D tables. This can prevent reload for the supplier dimension. However, I am not sure how you intend to handle the other dimensions as I assume you will have the same issue. If you only have 13 months of history, BI Apps will only load 13 months of history on a full load. Also for the SCD dimensions, there should be a CURRENT_FLAG that is set to Y only for the current record and there should still be a link to the previous records where CURRENT_FLG = N. As long as your SCD is working fine, and you can prevent the reload of supplier dimension via the refresh date changes, it may work. I would advise your PeopleSoft team to maintain history..esp if they want to take advantage of Analytics and trend analysis.

  • Issues with Microsoft Vista and Crystal Report XI R2 with SP2

    Hi,
    I have an application which works fine on XP but fails to work on Vista. When I go to view a report I get the following error:
    "The request could not be submitted for background processing."
    I have searched a great deal but most solutions to this problem affect other versions or are for different reasons (ie. also do not work on XP). My report viewer works as expected on XP, but not on Vista.
    I have installed SP2 for CRXI R2 which should enable compatibility with Vista. I am using Visual Studio 2005.
    Anyone have any ideas or come across Vista problems?
    MS Vista Business, joined to a domain. 1.7gig. 512 ram. Test machine.
    Thanks in advance,
    Jon.

    The "...background processing..." error can occur for many different reasons, but usually, it's is related to some kind of database connectivity.  Are you reports based on ADO.NET?  If so, make sure that the data being returned in your ADO.NET object machines the schema used to design the report. 
    The best way I troubleshoot these types of issues is to simply the app/report.  So create a really simple Windows app that loads your reports and has only the necessary code to run your report.  And then copy your test app and report to the machine and see if it throws the same error.  This would test if it's an environmental issue (ie: runtime files) or if it's something with the logic of your application.
    Also, if it's possible, try running the report from the CR Designer on the Vista machine to see if it can run from the designer itself.  Of course this means you'll need to install CR if you don't already have it.
    Hopefully this puts you in the right direction.

  • Issue with DAD authentication and Interactive Reports

    Apex version 3.1.1.00.09
    I have an application which is using DAD authentication. Since changing the authentication model I have noticed that I lose some of the Interactive Report functionality specifically the ability to save reports.
    Post authentication I can get the user info by calling owa_util.get_cgi_env('REMOTE_USER')
    However when I reference V('APP_USER') it returns APEX_PUBLIC_USER. Is this the reason for the loss of interactive report functionality. If so is there a workaround?
    Thanks in advance

    When the authentication model is set to Application Express
    The user test_sso (which has end user rights only) has the ability to Save Report within an Interactive Report.
    When the authentication model is set to DAD
    A user who can authenticate against the DAD does not see the option to Save Report in the Interactive Report actions menu.
    As a developer when viewing the Interactive report I have the option to Save Report*
    Is this correct behaviour? I want the end user to log on to the application seemlessly and still have the ability to save a report.
    Thanks

  • Key differences in OBI Apps Spend Procurement and Spend Classification

    Hi,
    Can someone please explain the key differences in OBI Apps Spend Procurement and Spend Classification version 7.9.6.2 vs. version 7.9.6.3?
    Regards
    Vanaja

    There doesnt seem to be much diferences in terms of functionality or features. If you check the release notes..there are a few differences in the 7963 release related to bugs or packaging:
    If this is helpful or correct, please mark the response as correct or helpful.
    Here are some of the sections from the release notes:
    Section 1.3.28, "Currency Conversion Not Done in Purchase Agreement for Oracle Procurement and Spend Analytics"
    *1.3.32 'Days Payables Outstanding' and 'AP Turnover' Columns Are Missing*This issue applies to only those Oracle BI Applications customers who have implemented Procurement and Spend Analytics without implementing Financial Analytics.
    *1.3.43 Oracle EBS 12.1.3 - Contract Lifecycle Management Impact on Oracle BI Applications Release 7.9.6.3*This issue applies to only those Oracle BI Applications customers who have implemented Procurement and Spend Analytics for E-Business Suite (EBS) 12.1.3 along with Feature Pack for Oracle Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) for Public Sector. CLM Feature Pack is deployed as an add-on to Oracle EBS 12.1.3 for delivering an integrated acquisition management solution for federal government procurement.
    CLM functionality has introduced changes to the Oracle EBS data model that affects data extraction and loading for Oracle Procurement and Spend Analytics. Customers with Oracle EBS 12.1.3 and the CLM feature pack must apply additional filters to exclude CLM records and to ensure that it does not interfere with V7.9.6.3 Procurement and Spend Analytics functionality.
    Workaround
    No work-around is available for this issue.
    *1.3.56 EXPENSE_INVOICE_POSTED_DT Not Pulled From AP_CHECKS_ALL.CHECK_DATE for Oracle E-Business Suite*This issue affects Oracle Procurement and Spend Analytics. The measure 'Expense Reimbursement Cycle Time' as shipped with this release does not work in the subject area Employee Expenses – Overview. The measure uses the column EXPENSE_INVOICE_POSTED_DT_WID in the fact table W_EXPENSE_F fact, but this column is sourced from AP_EXPENSE_REPORT_HEADERS_ALL.EXPENSE_LAST_STATUS_DATE during ETL.
    Workaround
    This issue is addressed by Oracle E-Business Suite patch 10038359.

  • MBAM 2.5 SPN Issue with DNS alias and reporting

    We have one server with administration and monitoring website and self-service portal setup on it. We have another server with the Databases and the reports running on it. When I initially set it up I set it up with a SPN that matched the host name. At this
    point reporting worked.
    We found that HTTP SPN that matches host/FQDN name ibreaks WINRM to the server (powershell remoting).  See this: https://connect.microsoft.com/PowerShell/feedback/details/751307/psremoting-breaks-because-it-used-spn-name-with-class-http-instead-of-using-wsman
    To fix that we created a DNS alias, mbam.ourdomain.com, and created http SPN's for that account mapped to our MBAM ID
    When we did this we initially got stuck even logging on with single sign-on. we made a change to the endpoint address in the web.config and pointed it to the alias -- this resolved that issue.
    However now when trying to open any one of the reports we get the resource can not be found http 404 error.
    Is this fixable by changing something in a config file somewhere or do I need rebuild the servers and reinstall?

    Yes, We set both of those. We also set the delegation for the apppooluser to "trust this user for delegation to any service".<o:p></o:p>
    Today we uninstalled and reinstalled/configured IIS, the Administration and Monitoring website, and the self-service portal.<o:p></o:p>
     We no longer get an error when clicking on one of the 3 reports. Instead it does nothing. If I choose to open it in another tab or window it
    opens an about:blank page.<o:p></o:p>

  • Issues with Exchange Account and Q10

    Well, I hate to be writing this, but I'm hoping that there might be someone out there that can help get past some first day issues I am experiencing.
    The background: I have a long history with legacy BlackBerry devices, and almost as much history with iOS devices. My most recent phone was an iPhone 4S, and I make extensive use of iCloud to keep my iMacs, iPhone, and iPad connected in real-time. The setup worked. It wasn't perfect, but it worked. However, because I used to have a BlackBerry device (most recent the 9930) and because I don't use the iPhone for more than e-mail, iMessage, and phone calls (generally speaking), I decided to give the newest BlackBerry device a shot. So I bought a Q10.
    At this point I feel compelled to say that the hardware is everything I had hoped it to be. It's solid, has a good weight, and appears to be made very well. I have no complaints with the hardware, including the keyboard (a big selling factor for me), so I won't really get into the hardware as the issues I am experiencing all have to do with the OS. Let me also say that I am very familiar with the iCloud integration issues (missing Contact photos and disabled Calendar sync), so I'm not voicing a complaint over those issues in this thread.
    I have connected my Exchange account. I used to have everything in Exchange before I moved my entire computing world over to Apple, and now I keep Exchange around for e-mail. Therefore, I have no contacts, no tasks, no notes, very limited calendar entries, and a massive amount of e-mail on the Exchange server. However, to test everything out, I have added a single contact record so I can see it show up on the phone and be able to test two-way sync between the Q10 and Exchange. And here is where the first issues crop up. It looks like Exchange connects and then disconnects at random. For example, if I open my Contacts on the phone, I see the one contact (called John Doe). Then, as the phone is sitting there with the screen on, the contact will disappear and I will see a "Start adding contact to your contact list" notice on the screen. Then, after a short period of time, the single contact will return. It is important to note that the entire time this is happening, the All Contacts option is selected in the list so that all available contacts are shown. Additionally, I have SIM card contacts turned off, but if I alter the selection in the view list (All Contacts, Favorites, etc.), the SIM contacts will re-appear when I return to the All Contacts view. At the same time, even though I have turned off SIM Contacts in the settings, the setting has reverted to show SIM Contacts. If I turn off the setting again, SIM Contacts still show up. Possibly related: I can't delete contacts on the SIM card, no matter how many times I try, and it now it seems that I can't get SIM Contacts to go away in the Contacts app.
    Likewise, Exchange seems to connect and disconnect from Calendar. I go to the calendar and move day by day to June 15th. I see an entry that I know is from Exchange (I have no other connected calendars at this time), and it is in blue. I change the calendar color to green and the entry changes color, as expected. However, if I jump back to today and then scroll day by day to get to June 15th again, the calendar entry is missing. After a few seconds, the entry re-appears, but it is, once again, in blue. The setting has reverted itself, and it seems like Exchange is completely disconnecting and automatically reconnecting to the phone like I am setting it up again for the first time. Very odd. As I'm typing this, I just saw something odd. I swiped to wake up the phone, and the active frames screen was the visible screen. The calendar app is still running (since I left it running, minimized, when the phone went to sleep) and the date shown in the active card was Jan 1, not Jun 8. Why? The date (and time) on the phone is correct and is set automatically by the cellular system.
    Nevertheless, looking at BlackBerry Hub, I see only two e-mails in my Inbox from Exchange, even though I have roughly a dozen in my Inbox. The rest are filed in sub-folders. And bam! Just like that... I get the "Add Accounts" screen while looking at the Hub. In other words, as I was typing this, I first saw two Exchange e-mails and then, out of nowhere, the e-mails disappear and I see the "Add Accounts" screen as if no account has been connected.
    So... first question: Is anyone else experiencing this issue? This is very strange, and very frustrating. Second: could this be related to the large amount of e-mails I have stored on Exchange, some of which have large attachments? I selected "Forever" as the sync history length. I have my concerns, however, if this is related to loading historical e-mails onto the phone (in other words, the first sync with Exchange) because there is no reason that I can understand that the phone would blank out as if no account was connected at all. I can understand lag and stuttering while the history is syncing, but not a complete disconnect and reconnect. Considering all of the issues with the one and only contact record disappearing, the calendar entry for Jun 15th disappearing and then reappearing with the wrong calendar color, and e-mail in my Inbox incomplete (two of a dozen e-mails) and ultimately disappearing, I feel like this OS just has some real, significant issues.
    Full disclosure: I do want iCloud to work and am a fan of Apple products, but the lack of full iCloud sync support is not a big enough issue for me to want to send back this phone and/or see it fail so miserably. I will happily move my info from iCloud into Exchange, Google, and/or set up a new Exchange account for personal use (Office 365) because I am not wedded to iCloud per se. But, I won't go through that trouble if I can't even get my first account to work properly. It should also be noted that I do have a basic Google account (non-paid) and I had previously attempted to connect to it. However, I was experiencing the exact same issues with contacts disappearing, e-mail disappearing, etc. So I deleted that account. Truth be told, I deleted the Exchange account as well, and then re-connected to Exchange only to test one account at a time. Unfortunately, even with Exchange only, I am seeing very strange and frustrating behavior as described above.
    Help... please. I want this to work but the frustration I am feeling is growing worse by the hour.

    To follow-up with this issue:
    I ended up performing a security wipe on my device. The security wipe finished, and I was about to reconnect with Exchange when I decided to visit our host's web site to see if they had any articles covering the issues I was experiencing. While they didn't have anything specific, I did find a step-by-step guide to connecting a BB10 device to Exchange... and right there at the end, it said "Do NOT enable memo sync."
    I contacted support, and the rep told me that OS 10 has an issue with memo sync and it can cause all sorts of unpredictable behavior. Now, whether or not this is accurate I can say this: So far, the device is not disconnecting and reconnecting like it was before. Problem is, is this a result of not enabling memo sync, or is this a result of the security wipe?
    I may have overlooked it, but I don't recall reading anything about that anywhere else. I'm tempted to try re-enabling the memo sync to see if everything blows up again. At least that way I can see for myself if the memo sync is a real issue. Of course, perhaps it's an issue with SherWeb (our host) specifically. Hm...
    Anyway, for those that were interested, and for those that may come along in the future with a similar situation, the strange behavior that I first reported is no longer happening. I just don't know if it was a result of a security wipe or a result of not enabling memo sync with Exchange.

  • Issue with Information broadcasting and pre-cal server in SAP BI

    Hi Experts,
    I have issue with information Broadcasting and Pre-cal server. I have a worrkbook whcih runs from information broadcasting in pre-cal server. Workbook is desinged on single query and workbook contains visual basic code. workbook has a variable which is controlled by Control query in information broadcasting.
    I have 20 employees every month I need to send workbook via e-mail from information broadcasting.  The problem is sometimes all 20 employees will recieve e-mails and sometimes not. I identified there is something wrong in workbook or in pre-cal server.
    because after workbook calculation in pre-cal server is not pushing to SOST so there is something wrong in workbook or in pre-cal server.
    I closely observed pre-cal server front end log. There are few operations performing on workbook in pre-cal server
    like Open workbook, Calculate workbook, Save woorkbook and close workbook. In success case pre-cal sever is performing all the operations but in failure case pre-cal server is missing Close workbook case.
    Below log In pulled from pre-cal server
    Can you please tell what could be the problem.

    Hi Ravikanth,
    Thank you very much for the reply
    I went into RSPRECADMIN and clicked on 'Display Current Queue'.  There we have 3 sections
    1) Queue Overview of Open Precalculations
    I can see this section is always blank after running IB also
    2) Queue Overview of Current Precalculations
    In this section I can see an entry after running IB and duration is changing. but some time workbook in this section will never processed but the duration column is changing may be something is happening at this stage.
    If the entry is not proccessed in this section and IB SM37 job will never end. I manually cancelled the job from SM50.
    Don't why the workbook is taking long time and will never end even though I cancelled the SM37 IB job.
    3) Queue Overview of Proccessed Error-Free Precalculations
    All the error free workbooks which means all pre-cal server completed workbook calculation and sent to SOST.
    I manually ran the workbook for all the 20 employees I can't find any pop-up message (earlier we have pop-up windows appearing because of VB code and when report returns no data and we fixed the pop-up issues)
    Can you please help me further to trace the error.
    Thank you

  • Issues with iCloud synchronisation and contacts over two or more devices.  iTouch and iPad2 sync with different results from iMac.  Thoughts?

    Has any one experienced issues with iCloud synchronisation and contacts over two or more devices? The primary machine is an iMac running Lion. Address Book was created from vcf file (backup of address book prior to moving to iCloud). iTouch replicates Contacts just fine and matches the Address Book on the iMac. The iPad 2 does not showing only 123 contacts where there should be 200. I have turned off iCloud on both devices thus erasing the iCloud content of both devices and staring from scratch with both devices with identical results. Even turned off iCloud on the iMac and erased the Address Book and rebuilt with the same results. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? I am going nuts.....

  • Display issue with HTML formatted text in report builder

    I am using the FCKeditor in my application to allow endusers
    the ability to create formated text on reports. We curently are
    experiencing 2 issues: 1. If you copy and paste from MS Word
    2003/2007 it will not display the text correclty in the report; 2.
    If you use the FCKeditor toolbar to insert bullets or a numeric
    list it will not align the text correctly on the report. We are
    using Coldfusion 8 with Hotfix 1 and Coldfusion Report Builder's
    lastest build release.
    Has one experiences this same issue with HTML fields not
    printing correctly using the Report Builder? What other HTML
    editors besides FCKeditor might we use?
    Thanks,

    Hi Gavin,
    If I understand well, your HTML tags are coded directly in your fields in the database, right? Because if it was not the case, you could have use a format trigger checking for which destination you're generating your report...
    if UPPER(:DESFORMAT) = 'HTML' or
    UPPER(:DESFORMAT) = 'HTMLCSS'
    then
    -- insert your HTML code in the value

    Of course, if it's not acceptable to remove the HTML tag from your database fields, you could develop a procedure that would translate your HTML tags to the good formatting (eurk... ;-)
    Good luck... :-)

  • Issues with illustrator 10 and windows 8

    any known issues with illustrator 10 and windows 8...version worked fine on windows xp....new computer with windows 8....now cannot seem to operate. Loads, and shows access but will NOT start up. help ! thanx ttp74

    AI 10 is now 10 years or so old and was never tested on nor designed for Win 7 or Win 8. You should simply assume it's not compatible and will never run properly. feel free to spend your time with the compatibility modes and al lsorts of hacking with the security stuff and otehr settings, but to be honest, it will probably be a waste of time.

  • Issues with Car Bluetooth and the 9630

    Hey guys,
    Over at the crackberry forums there are many people reporting issues with the tour and car bluetooth.  Basically, for people that are syncing the tour with the bluetooth in their cars, people can barely hear them.  We can hear everyone just fine, but when talking the person on the other end reports that our voice is very low.  This is happening on VZW, Sprint, Bell and Telus, which leads me to belive this is an issue with the OS itself.  The link to the discussion at crackberry is http://forums.crackberry.com/f141/car-bluetooth-tour-issue-they-can-t-hear-me-well-267206/  I'm hoping someone from RIM cam comment on this or provide some help.  This is a VERY frustrating issue to Tour owners especially with so many places having "hands free" laws.
    Thanks!

    Greetings from Charleston!
    I was using a Verizon 8830 World Edition until I upgraded to the Verizon Blackberry Tour on launch day July 12.  I never had any Bluetooth issues before and I'm not having any now.  As a matter of fact, I would say the quality is a tad better.  My volume is controlled by my car when the Blackberry is connected via Bluetooth and I've actually had to turn it down sometimes because it has been so loud.  I drive a 2007 Toyota Landcruiser.  I suspect it has less to do with the Blackberry than it does with the car.  Perhaps there's a Bluetooth software/firmware update necessary for some of your vehicles?
    All in all, I love this new Blackberry!!
    Cheers! 

  • Apple Support admitted an Issue with WEP authentication and some Routers

    After reading many posts here and other places I logged a service call to Apple support. With the particulars: AT&T U-verse 2 Wire router would not connect with WEP would connect with Security disabled. I wanted a call logged before I went past the return time
    I got a call back immediately after a few basic questions I was passed to a product manager for ipads, it seems connectivity issues are taken seriously.
    The upper level support said there were known issues with some routers and WEP security we steeped through changing the security and it works fine now.
    Bottom Line:
    Apple knows there is an issue with some routers
    They were very helpful and acknowledged the issue.
    He even stayed on the line while I reconfigured one of my Windows PC to make sure it connected to the new settings
    I suggest to all to log a call and get a tech support involved before taking the iPad to the local store
    They certainly new their are some connectivity issues. If that does not work you can always return it.
    He did not admit it was a Apple issue and did not commit that Apple was working on it but it is something they are aware of.
    So skip the Apple store got right to tech support.
    Just my 2 cents.

    "But folks need to go straight to tech support. I live in oz, so it will be interesting to see if they help me.. or not.. but if support gets inundated they will fix it or have a massive recall (not likely on the latter)."
    Can't agree more. I used to manage a tech support department and it is all about the numbers. No matter how many forum entries the issues that get addressed are dictated by the reports.
    So for those that are buying new routers contact Tech Support first even if you end up getting a new router the call is logged that will get Apple's attention.
    People that are not familiar with post launch processes have no idea how things that need to get corrected and enhanced are dictated by support requests
