Making mass change to Oracle Apps base table

I have requirement where I have to do a mass updates/inserts to an Oracle Apps table (BOM_Inventory_Components). I have been told by my senior programmers that Oracle does not like direct updates or inserts to the Base tables in Oracle Apps.
Anyone knows of a standard practice of updating/inserting records into Base tables in Oracle Apps?

I have seen and done lot of projects where we do direct table update but we do have Metalink support and we do inform them and involve them into regours conference call and than we are proceding direct table update.
the trick is oracle always as package where you can fine related update procedure so by passing neccesary parameters you can update the table.

Changes through views to base tables

Dear All
in which conditions oracle allow to update or make changes in base table through simple views not materialized views?

a user can perform all dml transactions on normal views,so that those changes can occur in the associated tables.
simple views i.e.any select statement without any group functions or join of tables is there,we can perform all dml operations on the view.

Is there any way to rollback mass changes in Oracle 11i Fixed Assets?

Hi there,
We are currently undergoing a massive change in assets depreciation rate with amortization date starting from 01-jan-13. To achieve this we decided to use MassTransactions -> Changes in Oracle Fixed Assets.
There is a preview available, which shows the results on the assets that are affected as well as the changes that we have decided to make. On the other hand, the preview does not consider the accounting results of the change so there is no way to see how the depreciation is affected.
However, someone could see the results using the what-if analysis, but in that case there is no option to use the amortization date in order to see the changes that the adjustment will create.
The only way we could really see the final results is to perform the mass change and then do a test depreciation and see the results. But in case where something is not acceptable by us, is there ANY way to rollback/undo the mass changes we did in the specific period?
If there is no way to do this from the UI, is there any other from the db? ( I know that messing with assets is like playing with fire )
Thanks and Regards,
George

Best practice for making changes to Oracle apps business views and BAs/fold

HI
The oracle BI solution comes with pre-defined Business Views- database views and Business Areas and folders. If we want to customize those database views or BAs and folders what will be the best practice in order to avoid losing it during any upgrades.
For ex Oracle out-of box Order Management BA that we are using heavily needs some additional fields to be added to Order Header and Order Lines folders and we also want to add some custom folders to this BA.
If we do the changes to the database views behind this BA would they be lost during the upgrade or do we have to copy(duplicate) those views, updated them and create a custom BA and folders against those views.
Thanks

Hi,
If you are adding new folders then just add them to the Oracle Business Area. The business area is just a collection of folders. If the business area was changed in an upgrade the new folder would not be deleted.
If you want to add fields to the existing folders/views then you have 2 options. Add the field to the defining base view (these are the views beginning OEBV and OEFV) and then regenerate the business views. This may be overwritten if the view is upgrade but this is unlikely.
Alternatively, copy the view to create a new version and then map the old folder to the new view and refresh. You may need to re-map the folder if the folder is upgraded, but at least you have a single folder used by both Oracle and custom reports.

Oracle APPS LOV Table

Hi
In the Inventory and in the Item Master, there is a field called "Planning Time Fence" it has the value of 4 in the mtl_system_items_b table and value of "User-Defined" On the form.In which table does Oracle stores the value of 4 and associates it the the value of "User-Defined".
Thanks

Hi Pillair,
I believe he is looking for the underlying table ....
select *
from fnd_lookup_values
where lookup_type = 'MTL_TIME_FENCE'
Hope this helps.

Making mass changes to the Address Book

I need to update birthdays, update addresses, etc. I don't want to go into every card and would prefer do it in a spreadsheet.
I have tried Bento but it doesn't seem to work. Any other ideas?
Thanks, Bob

export your contacts as one big vcard. convert it to a csv file using for example this converter http://labs.brotherli.ch/vcfconvert/
and edit it in excel or pages. then import the csv file back into AB.

Base table changes

i have a procedure which contains external table with 100 columns..
data from this table is tranferred to temp table..
any errors are caught here and if there are no errors then base table is merged with temp tables data..
my problem is columns get added / removed and even data types are getting changed many times for bas table..
what would be alternative for this???
while inserting i have selected columns from ext table and then inserted coulmn wise in temp table
regards
avinash

I agree with Blu. It makes no sense to hack permanent or base tables like that.
Just how is the existing software (client software, queries, PL/SQL code, etc) to know how to deal with these new columns and data type changes? What about data integrity? Constraints? Foreign keys? Indexes? Etc. Etc.
Relational design is not just a good idea. IT IS THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLE OF RELATIONAL DATABASES.

Changes in webservices while migrating from Oracle App Server to WebLogic

Dear All,
I am developing webservices for a external users.
I am new to webservices.
We were using Oracle Application server to deploy the webservices.
The architecture was as mentioned below
1) A interface class
2) A Implementation class for the above interface class
Now we are planning to migrate from Oracle application server to Weblogic Application server.
I have few doubts about the migration,
1) Will there be any difference between Oracle specific WSDL and WSDL created by Weblogic ant build command
2) As our external parties are referring our SOAP requests ans responses for their implementation, i am concerned about the changes in the SOAP request and response formats. Will there be changes due to application server change?
Oracle app server - Oracle 10g application server version 9.0.4.0
Weblogic appl server - Weblogic application server version 10.3.0.0

Now after creating the WSDL by Weblogic workshop. The previous request XML is not working.
Can someone help soving the below query.
We are in process of upgrading the Oracle 10g application server version 9.0.4.0 to Weblogic application server version 10.3.0.0. In the old application server we were using axis specific jars to create the WSDL for the webservices. There are so many third party applications which are accessing our webservices, so we can not change the wsdl, clients accessiong the webservices and the corresponding formats of request and response xml messages. So we need to deploy the same wsdl and for the same we need to deploy axis on to weblogic 10.3. Can you please help us regarding the same.
Qns
1 - If we can deploy the axis on to the Weblogic 10.3
2 - Can we use the same WSDL in the Weblogic server too.
3 - If we use the same WSDL, will it help us to keep the client accessing the webservices, the request xml format, response XML format the same as it is with Oracle 10g application server case.
4 - Please share how to deploy axis on to the Weblogic 10.3 application server.
5 - Please share how we can create EARs that can be deployed on the webserver using axis specific jars.
Thanks and Regards

Not able to integrate SOA Suite with EBS using Oracle APPS Adapter

Hi,
We need to listen to outbound business events of Oracle EBS using BES via Oracle APPS Adapter.
We have created a composite containing Oracle Application Adapter and BPEL Process.
In Apps adapter when configured Outbound Business events "oracle.apps.bom.component.modified" using Dequeue Operation,a corresponding subscriber is created in WF_BPEL_Q for respective event selected.
In Oracle EBS
for "oracle.apps.bom.component.modified" status is enabled and in subscription WF_BPEL_QAGENT is there.
When we are changing any BOM component in Oracle EBS Designer and saving it, a record is being created in "WF_BPEL_QTAB".
BPEL Process( Oracle Apps Adapter Partner Link---> Recieve Actvity ) instances are not being created when any BOM component is being changed.
Oracle Apps Adapter is not able to dequeue the data from WF_BPEL_QTAB.
There is not any error/exception in oracle soa suite server logs for Oracle APPS adapter.

We would like to capture a few business events in oracle BOM and PO that are of interest to us. In order to do this,
we deploy oracle SOA composite with BEPL in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Control. The oracle SOA composite is configured for a particular outbound business event. It should listens on a specific queue WF_BPEL_Q or WF_BPEL_QTAB and de-queues the messages from that Oracle Queue or Oracle AQ Table. In jDeveloper 11g we created a SOA project with oracle applications adapter partner link and a receive.
Specifically we are trying to capture the business outbound event oracle.apps.bom.component.modified just to get the event data in this receive.
Partner link configuration: We added the database connection to the oracle EBS instance. Tested it and we
succeded. Chose ANY_SCHEMA in partner link configuration.
We ensured that the JNDI Name here( eis/Apps/Apps ) match the JNDI name provided in the weblogic-->Deployments--
OracleAppsAdapter -->Configuration --> Outbound Connection Pools. For this outbound resource pool, Connection factory interface was javax.resource.cci.ConnectionFactory. Property name xADataSourceName was mapped to JNDI name of the configured JDBC datasource in the weblogic. When we created the connection pool. We tested and it worked fine. This data source had the connection pool configured to the oracle applications schema with APPS user.
After adding the partner link with the above configuration, we added a receive. We deployed this configuration to the middleware. We went to the oracle EBS modified a BOM component and we expected to having running BPEL instances against the deloyed composite. However, the problem is we are not having any running instance for the composite.
We found that there are entries in the view AQ$WF_BPEL_QTAB with an ENQ_TIME and ENQ_TIMESTAMP but with no DEQ_TIME or DEQ_TIMESTAMP. The ENQ_TIMESTAMP corresponds to the time we modified BOM in oracle BOM forms/Designer
The data is being written in WF_BPEL_QTAB for the BOM changes but not being dequeued by oracle applications adapter/composites deployed in soa server.
Please help me it quite urgent.
Is there anything we are missing on EBS side to be activited. for the events to be dequeued
Any Help is appreciated.

How to Process flat File in Oracle Apps through Concurrent Program

Hello Everyone,
My client has a request, to process a bank file (Lockbox) which is a flat file that will be copied on UNIX box and I will have to create a new concurrent request that will process this flat file and will update receipt information in Oracle Apps database tables.
Could you please suggest, if there are any other standard Oracle Apps functions (Example FND) available which can be used through Concurrent program that can be used to open a file from a particular directory and can be read from the flat file and after processing this file can be closed.
Please let me know, if you have a small example, that would help me a lot.
Thanks

There are base concurrent programs in Accts Receivable that do consume lockbox flat files. Pl see the AR Setup/User Guides at
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B40089_10/current/html/docset.html

Oracle Apps or BI ?

Hi Guru's,
I am in a stage of confusion and so thought of taking your opinion on it.
I have experience in a wide range of tools like Oracle Reports, Forms, PL/SQL Procedures, Data conversion and Interfaces, SQL Loader, shell scripts, etc.
I have been working on Inventory, BoM, AR, AP modules.
I am now working in Discoverer Reports with Oracle 10g Rel 1 and Rel 2 since last few months. The client is using Noetix views to create the views for Discoverer Reports,and Noetix provide a completely different schema for all the modules.
I am afraid, I will loose the touch of Oracle Apps modules, tables and views.
Now, I can clearly see two streams in Oracle.
One stream has the traditional Apps approach of developing Oracle Reports, Forms(now getting replaced by JDeveloper),Data conversions, Interfaces,PL/SQL procedures etc.
Second is the BI tools like Discoverer, Dashboard, Informatica and so on. I know only Discoverer.
My question is: As I am having experience of both (70% of 1st stream, 30% of 2nd) , Should I completely switch to BI, by learning more and more BI tools, because it has more demand in future?
Or, if I choose to continue working on Apps, as I have more experience in it, should I learn JDeveloper?
What stream, do you think will have more scope/demand in future?
On oracle.com, I can see a very big list of BI Tools, which keep on increasing so which of them are 'must learn' tools to enter into BI world?
Thanks!
Yogini

It depends on whether or not you expect to support mostly Oracle Applications core, Oracle Applications BI, or vanilla BI implementations. It will be some time before all Oracle Forms are removed from Oracle Applications. Discoverer is still used in R12, but most of DBI is using Performance Management Framework for rendering reports. If you will be supporting BI from Oracle Applications, continue to be familiar with the technology stacks used. In order to be the most effective/marketable, you do not want to limit yourself to understanding only one technology. In 3-5 years, that technology could be gone.

How to modify a data base table ?

Hi,
    i am working on a list output where if user is editing a field and that field need to be updated in the data base. table is a z table .
the table has 5 fields .
mandt       key field
matnr       key field
werks      key field
charg       key field
lgpla         key field
usnam
edate
in the list output , the user will change the values in the lgpla field and that field need to be changed in the data base table.
i have used the stmt :
modify< table> from <internal table> ,
but a new record is added in the data base instead of overwriting the existing one.
but the record can be seen modified in the internal table.
kinldy let me know the method of updating or modifying the existing value in the data base.
thanks and regards,
vikram.

Hi,
Its not possible to change Primary Key contents in the database.
it mention in documentation of MODIFY Statement,
a line is searched for in the database table that has the same content
in the primary key as the corresponding beginning part of the work area.
If such a line is not found,
a new line is inserted according to the same rules as for the INSERT statement.
If such a line is found,
this line is overwritten according to the same rules as for the UPDATE statement
if you want insert the modified line first Delete from database,Then Use Modify Statement

Ways to find out modifications in base oracle apps installation

What are different ways to figure out what all has been changed ( modified ) in a base oracle applications installation ?
Basically need to find out in a 6 year old installation, what all objects / forms / modules where "modified", and not "extended". Assume that not all changes were done using a standard nomenclature.
e.g. I read somewhere, to figure out what all "new" tables were created, a sql query on creation_date in all_objects or all_tables etc may give some hint/s.
Is this right ? also how do we check for other objects like stored procs, seeded forms, other objects ?
Thanks!

Go to monitoring, expand reports, select Software Distribution Package and Program Deployment status and then select status of a specified package and program deployment, select your package and program deployment, and then you can see all successful,
failed results and you can click and see further details. If you send it through task sequence use the task sequence deployment status to see the results.
