Oracle APC (PLM) Security Issue in Item Catalog

Hi Forum Experts, that have knowledge of Oracle Advanced Product Catalog!
This is my first post, so will be interesting for me.
We are using Oracle EBS 11.5.10 PLM-E
I have a requirement for our Trade Compliance users to have access to only update my new PLM Attribute page "Trade Compliance". I do not wish them to update operational attributes.
I can restrict the Item Catalog (Item Tab) so most operational attribute pages do not appear.
And my new Trade Compliance page does display and allow updates fine.
However I cannt figure out how to stop the "Overview", "Descriptive Attributes", and "Classification and Categories" from displaying and being open to update. I have not found a way to use Role Privileges to control this.
Thanks Mike

Hi!
APC is just another module in EBS - similar to Inventory. It does use mtl_system_items_b, ego_process_pub etc. It has its own objects to but they all reside in the EBS database and are part of apps. It also has its own APIs. But it is not a separate piece of software.
Since your software can use EBS apis, I see no reason why you can't integrate with APC.mtl_system_items_b is also used by Inventory (table in the inv schema), right?
What is ego_process_pub? Is this a package like EGO_ITEM_PUB? I could not find it!
It has its own objects:
This means that if I create an item using the form "Master Items" or "Organization Items" in Oracle EBS, it is not created for APC but only for INV? Are there really different "items and tables" for items in the EBS?
It also has its own APIs:
Do you know an example for that? EGO_ITEM_PUB.PROCESS_ITEM creates items in mtl_system_items_b (which I still consider as inv items or just items). What would be the one for "APC items"?
Thanks a lot,
Konrad

The description of the method as per the 11gr2 api guide is as follows

Find catalog on the basis of input provided as searchCriteria that has been provided by User, It will return the objects after applying the entity level security.

Since my external OC4J is using JAXB 1.0 ,
I created a shared library called "fusion_jaxb" and added the following file
jsr173_api.jar
jaxb-api.jarI think you will also need the jaxb-impl.jar, which actually provides the class that is being requested but not available.
D:\java\jaxb-ri-20070122\lib>jar tf jaxb-api.jar | grep ContextFactory
D:\java\jaxb-ri-20070122\lib>jar tf jaxb-impl.jar | grep ContextFactory
com/sun/xml/bind/v2/ContextFactory.class
I had a small writeup of using JAXB2 here:

Supplier Item Catalog - search screen query ~ tends to take 10 - 12 secs

I wanted to find out if any customer(s) out there has ever encountered this performance issue in the Supplier Item Catalog search screen. We setup an item catalog category using the supplier item but when we attempt to query on the item/supplier search, the search time takes up to 10 - 12 secs per find. Caveat, when you do search for the same item on the 2nd time; the return is alot quicker. It seems the parsing is the issue but we are still trying to figure a resolution to the performance factor. Thanks.

Hi Hussein,
Thanks for the reply back. Unfortunately, we tried to apply both patches (recommended patch (5404474) v. the previous patch(5567690) but it did not work . We actually have a TAR opened with Oracle support. I'd thought that with this Oracle forum site, other customers may have the similar performance issue and hopefully a recommended resolution. At this point, Oracle support mentioned the issue lies in the parsing segment of the query.

Supplier Item Catalog

I am considering using the supplier item catalog in core purchasing. I am aware that when you search for an item in the supplier item catalog it returns items from various sources. My question is: will it only return system items? or does it return any freeform requisition line?

Hi
I tried to use Supplier item catalogue as a core place to set up contract items as still using paper requisitions as our ships do not have online access. I created items in the catalogue via quotations only to find that the order pad function does not work. According to a posting on Metalink this is standard functionality !.
This doesn't directly answer your question directly but hope the info is useful.

Publishing Content Items through API

Hello,
I am currently using EDK 5.3 for publishing content items. I have been sucessful in editing an existing content item using APIS. However It looks like APIS doesn't have a way to schedule to publish content items for a future date.
I tried to do some reverse engineering and found out that this information is stored in pcsscheduledcontent and pcsscheduleitems tables. I was able to figure out how to change the dates as this are stored in pcsscheduleitems table,however can't find out where are the values are being stored for time.
Say, I want to publish the content item for 08/28/2008 4:00 pm using the APIS, I am able to get to the date from the above 2 tables but really can't find out where the time is stored. I have tested from the User interface that the time is also retained based on the options we pick.
And also I have seen that the Loadid keeps on increasing for every change I make.
Can someone please help me/ guide me in the right direction?
Thanks.

pcsscheduledContent table. schedule something to be published in the future and then do a select on that table with an order by clause of :
ORDER BY ITEMBEGINDATE DESC
The itembegindate column contains the date AND time of the publishing schedule. you may just not be converting the value correctly.

Any interface table for Importing Item catalog data

Item catalog data needs to be moved from oracle 11.0.3 instance to Oracle 11i Instance.
Is there any Interface table available in Oracle11i for this purpose?

Hi,
Thank you.
I have given the requirement below.
When data need to be Migrated from one instance to another,one of the method followed is to collect data from old instance and put the data into staging table of new instance.After validation data from staging table will be transfered to the Interface table.After this a standard program is run to populate in the base table.
For item catalog is there any such interface table available? or is there any way to populate the base table in 11i instance?
Thanks,
Gokula

Item catalogs interface

guruz,
we are facing some issues in catalogs conversion.Its urgent.
Can the item catalog interface program be run in 'Update' mode like that of Items and categories. ?
if yes,then how ..?
business is on hold...its Urgent !! :(
thanks in advance..

You can update an existing categories by inserting records in the MTL_ITEM_CATEGORIES_INTERFACE.
Make sure that you populate old_category_id and category_id and make transaction_type = UPDATE.
For catalog updates, populate mtl_system_items_interface with transaction_type = UPDATE and insert records in mtl_desc_elem_val_interface.
Hope this helps,

INV: Item CATALOG copy functionality

client's business requirement is to create Items to be copied multiple times with exact attributes except a few changes in the Item Catalog elements. The standard functionality allows "Copy" of an item (M) Tools -> Copy. However this functionality does not copy the Catalog Group and it's Elements from the "Source" Item into the new "Target" item.
We created an SR# requesting for the desired functionality, but it is told that this is not a standard functionality and an Enhancement Request has been forwarded, but most likely it would not be possible to expect the ER developed anytime soon.
Has anyone came accross such requirement? If anyone has a workaround or have developed any Customized solution to this, pls respond with your suggestion.
Thanks & Regards
-- AeBham

There is no seeded solution.
You should develop a quick custom request that takes the From Item and To Item as parameter. That request will call the item import to create the item and it will call Item Catalog Group Element Open Interface.
Hope this helps

Shadow Item catalog or interface?

Hi,
In phase one we are implementing only purchasing, receivables and payables. For the use of purchasing we need the item catalog which is in our legacy systems.
The choices we have are:
A. Creating a shadow item catalog in ERP and updating it very frequently (We have many frequent changes in our catalog)
B. Customize an on-line interface to the legacy system.
Did anyone attempted one of the above? Which difficulties are we facing?
Thanks in advance
