New user to Oracle 11i who needs help on creation of new fixed asset class

Hi all,
I am new to my Company who is using Oracle 11i. And the Company has a new class of fixed asset and a GL code has been created. But there is no link between the Fixed Asset Manager and the GL code, i.e. depreciation is not linked, additions are not captured into "Cost register", no asset number was assigned in Oracle. Please help.
Thanks,
Simon

Hi.
No, Simon, it does not work that way.
First, be sure that the distribution line has the flag "Track as Asset" checked.
Second, the GL Account to be used on the distribution line must be the one defined, in the FA Asset Category, as the Asset Clearing Account.
In FA, navigate to /Setup/Asset System/Asset Categories. Following, query a Category. There you can see which account has been used as the Asset Clearing Account.
You can use as many Asset Clearing accounts as you which, but normally, all Categories share the same account.
Now reverse the distribution line and cretae a new one with the correct account. Post it, run the Mass Additions Process and you will see the that the addition was created.
Hope this helps.

  • Error while creating new user in Oracle 11i EBS

    I am getting following error while creating new user. How solve this issue?
    “Unable to load java class % specified profile option SIGNON_PASSWORD_CUSTOM. Please verify that the class exists and that it implements the java interface oracle.apps.fnd.security.PasswordValidation”.

    Following is the text from Note for Custom Password Validation logic:
    Customers who wish to use their own password validation logic may do
      so by writing their own Java classes that implement the
      oracle.apps.fnd.security.PasswordValidation Java interface.  The
      interface requires 3 methods to be implemented:
      1) public boolean validate(String user, String password)
        - This method takes a username and password, and then returns true
      or false, indicating whether the user's password is valid or invalid,
      respectively.
      2) public String getErrorStackMessageName()
        - This method returns the name of the message to display when the
      user's password is deemed invalid (i.e., the validate() method returns
      false).
      3) public String getErrorStackApplicationName()
        - This method returns the application shortname for the
      aforementioned error message.
      After writing the Java class to perform customized password
      validation, the customer must then set the value of the profile option
      SIGNON_PASSWORD_CUSTOM to be the full name of the class.  If, for
      example, the name of the Java class is
      oracle.apps.fnd.security.AppsPasswordValidation, then the value of the
      SIGNON_PASSWORD_CUSTOM profile option must be
      oracle.apps.fnd.security.AppsPasswordValidation.  Note that AOL/J
      will attempt to load this class dynamically.  Hence it is necessary to
      make the class accessible by AOL/J.  This means that in Forms, the
      class must first be loaded into the database using the loadjava
      command.

  • **New User** Memory, PCI Express, BIOS Need Help Please

    So, I just got my mobo installed and now I am having some troubles. First, my specs:
    AMD Phenom 9850BE
    Corsair XMS 1066 Dominator series 5-5-5-18 2.1v
    MSI HD3870 800mhz edition
    Antec 1000w psu.
    Asus Xonar DX sound card
    Vista Business 64bit
    RAM Location:
    Do I follow the colors (Green -DIMM1 and DIMM3, Orange - DIMM2 and DIMM4) or do I put them D1+D2, D3+ D4? Logically I would follow the colors, but the handbook says to use D1+D2, etc. Also, I set my mobo timings of the RAM to 1:2.66 so it would run at 1066mhz.  I set the voltage to 2.1v and got a bsod. But this is the way to change the RAM settings right?
    Graphics Card Setup:
    Right now I have my gfx card in the Teal/Light blue PCIe slot. Is this the mazarine color they describe? Also I plan on putting an HD4870 to crossfire with my 3870 once they come out, do I put that in the other Teal/Light blue PCIe slot? I do not know if this will fit that way, the USB/E1394 cables might be in the way, which would really upset me. Can anyone put a card on the first darker blue slot? The pipelines are in the way for me.
    BIOS:
    I do not know what version I have and if it is up to date. I tried LiveUpdate 3 to see if it was updated, but it kept giving me a "Services not started" or "cannot start service" error over and over.
    eSATA:
    I tried hooking up my eSATA external hard drive and it didnt work. I have to enable the onboard Raid controller option in the BIOS. I do not use RAID so I disable it, and I hate hate the startup check it has when booting. How do I work around this?
    Thank you for your help, I know that this is probably somewhere hidden within the forums, but I really need to get this thing going and am trying to set up other things and never really find the specific answers I am looking for. Thanks again guys.

    I do not know how to tell what version it is. I believe it is a MS-7376 Ver 1.0.   I just bought it from newegg maybe 2 weeks ago. MSI CPU support says that it supports 9850BE 125W CPU. I upgraded to the 1.4 BIOS version.    What do I do?
    The gfx situation isn't pretty. I wanted to go Crossfire, but I doubt that will happen. I cannot get my card into the top darker blue pci-e slot due to the pipelines being in the way. Currently I have my card in the lower lighter teal blue color, which I guess is the PCIe 8x slot. Newegg said they were 16x for all of them and then 8x if they were in Quad CF.  Oh, I also have a PCIe 1x Sound Card that is right under the first dark blue PCIe. So I cannot put the card up top at all. The other lighter teal blue PCIe slot is on the bottom of the motherboard and will not have any place to put a double cooler slot GFX card into it. So, the only way I can go crossfire is if I put the Light Teal Blue 8x slot with a Card directly under it in the Darker blue 16x slot.

  • Newbie to Java who needs help..

    Hello all.
    I am having some troubles making a random walker/Drunkard. What I have to do is make it that the user inputs the starting X, Y coordinates and the amount of steps he has to walk. After that, it is post to print back the new coordinates he walked to and the distance of his new coordinates is to the starting one. I am new to java so I am confused.. This is what I have so far..
    import java.util.*;
    public class Drunkard {

        private int y;
        private int numSteps;

            Drunkard drunk = new Drunkard();
            System.out.println("The drunk moved to X" +drunk.getX() + ", y " + drunk.getY() && "a distance of " + drunk.getDistance());
    }Any help would be nice.

    Sorry. I should have stated what I need help with..
    I need help with making him move randomly when the user types in the x,y starting coords, and the amount of steps he has to walk from what the user inputs. I also need help printing out the new x,y coords he walked to randomly and the distance his new coords are from where he first started at (the coords the user the typed in.)
    I have two files:
    Drunkard.java
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.util.*;
    public class Drunkard {
        private int x;
        private int y;
        private int numSteps;
        private int Distance;
        private int moveDrunk;
        public Drunkard(int x, int y) {
            this.x = x;
            this.y = y;
            this.numSteps = 0;
        public int getX() {

             for (int i=0;i<numSteps;i++) {
            if(rand.nextInt(2)==1) { x+=1; } else { y+=1; } }
        public int getDistance(){
    (int)(Math.sqrt((getX()*getX()) + (getY()*getY())));{
    return Distance
      }And DrunkardSimulator.java

    Hara..It does not support the "dot". If you want to include that you will have to enclose the entire username in double-quotes :
    CREATE USER "Finedocs4.1_SP1" IDENTIFIED BY Be aware that doing so will also make your username case sensitive, so it would always need to be enclosed. If you make sure the username is create in all caps (CREATE USER "FINEDOCS4.1_SP1" ) it will be effectively case-insensitive to the end user, but there will still be admin commands on the username that will still need to be enclosed in quotes to get around the dot.Correct. I would suggest re-thinking your naming scheme and trying to use something that does not have the . or -

  • API for creating new User in Oracle E-Business Suite through BPEL

    Hello,
    I would like to use a BPEL process to create a new User in Oracle E-Business Suite. In the Integration Repository I was able to find an API called FND_USER_PKG/LOAD_ROW that creates/updates Application's User data. Is this the API I should be using? If so, I would like to better understand how to use this API.
    I have created a simple BPEL process and added an Oracle Application Service, which uses this FND_USER_PKG/LOAD_ROW API. I set the following parameter before Invoking the Oracle Application Service: X_USER_NAME, X_ENCRYPTED_USER_PASSWORD and X_START_DATE. When I run the BPEL process I get the following error. I suspect that I am not passing all the required input parameters. Does anyone have any sample data I can use to get this API to load correctly? If I am using the wrong API, please let me know.
    Please note, I have also posted this question to the SOA Suite and BPEL discussion forums...
    Thank you kindly!

    Hello and thank you for your response. I am new to using APIs so please excuse my inexperience... I am not sure how to run the API outside of BPEL... Is that something you could easily walk me through?
    I have made the following changes in BPEL based on your recommendation: 1) Added Oracle Application Service and used the API, LDAP_WRAPPER_CREATE_USER, found in the Oracle Application Module Browser* under: Applications Technology (ATG_PF)&gt; User Management (UMX)&gt; User (FND_USER)&gt; PLSQL&gt; User (FND_USER_PKG)&gt; LDAP_WRAPPER_CREATE_USER
    2) Set the following parameter prior to Invoking the Oracle App Service: X_USER_NAME, X_UNENCRYPTED_PASSWORD,X_START_DATE, X_END_DATE, X_DESCRIPTION, X_EMAIL_ADDRESS, X_FAX, X_EXPIRE_PWD.
    3) Deploy and run BPEL through BPEL Control.
    I get the following {color:#ff0000}error on the Invoke{color}. {color:#339966}Do you see any issues with the values I am passing in the input{color}? Any idea why I am getting this error? Is there anything that I need to have configured for the API to work correctly, other than adding an Oracle Application Service in the BPEL?
    Thank you for your time,

  • As a new user of apple TV, I need some advice. When I rent a movie from Itunes for viewing later, it seems to download for a second time, with a message saying ready to view in 30 mins, it proceeds to load up all over again. What am I doing wrong

    As a new user of Apple TV, I need some assistance.When I rent a movie on iTunes and download for viewing later, say a day or two later, It seems to load itself all over again with a msg saying ready to view in 25 mins ! So having waited the 25 mins movie starts and runs for maybe 1 hour and the pauses for maybe 5 mins while it seems to load again . any help appreciated

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If you use the Apple TV for something else or turn it off it will erase whatever is on it's drive. If you are going to download content for later viewing you might consider doing it on the computer, downloads don't disappear until they expire and you can watch them as many times as you want.

    If I understood your problem correctly, then I think that associated Group does not have Administrator previleges.. Only Administrator can access the Repository..
    Alternatively, you can check those users by logging into BI Presentation Services.. Definitely those users will be logged in as you defined them in your Repository...
    Only access to metadata (repository) will be denied to the users created by you (if they does not have Administrator previleges)..
    Hope this will clarifies your problem..
    I will be very happy if anyone corrects me..:)

  • New Users Not Appearing On Login List - Help!

    Hello Mac geniuses,
    I run a 10.3.9 network in an elementary school, and I since returning from summer vacation I have had problems with many of my client eMacs not displaying the names of users I have added in WGM. These eMacs are also still displaying the names of accounts I have deleted.
    If anyone is kind enough to help a stranger, I have copied below the transcripts of my email exchanges with an Apple tech, in my struggle to get my school functioning again. (I have placed them in the correct order so the 1st email is on top and the last on bottom. The tech's name is John and I am using "Jon" to make it slightly less confusing!).
    My very grateful thanks in advance to anyone who can help me.

    Hi John,
    After deleting and adding users in WGM, some login screens still show deleted users and do not display the new users.
    I tried deleting the MCX cache via NetInfoManager on the clients, and even restarted the server, but it has not affected several machines.
    Any advice?
    Server: Dual 1Ghz G4 (Mirror Door) running Panther Server 10.3.9
    Clients: eMacs running 10.3.9
    Thanks in advance.

    Jon,
    Go into the client as the admin account.
    Delete /Library/Preferences/Directory Service
    Restart and setup Directory Access in Utilities
    Let me know if that works.

    Are you sure the machine is on the network and talking to your
    server?
    Go into Dir Access and uncheck LDAP and readd the server.

    Hi John,
    Yeah, they're on the network, students can log in using the "Other" option, I can connect to the server and mount shared folders, etc.
    I did as you said, rebooted, still no updated list.

    When working with NetInfo, which we are and hope to have some more articles on in the near future, it is important to know
    how to back up to a previous version of your database.
    1. First, the most brutal way of recovering from a nonfunctional database.
    Boot into single user mode by holding down the "s" key while starting up. Follow the handy instructions Apple gives you at the end of the startup sequence and run fsck. Then mount the system root disk as read/write with:
    mount -uw /
    Now you can get on with recreating your database in a very brutal way. Remove your current database with:
    rm -rf /var/db/netinfo/local.nidb
    Now remove the file that prevents the Setup Assistant from running:
    m /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
    And now reboot to get things rolling.
    reboot
    This will cause the Setup Assistant to launch, complete with music and bouncing blue blobs. If you remember which account you set up first when you last saw this screen, set up that account now. Otherwise, go with whatever you want for your first
    Administrator account. If you match it up with the original Administrator account, all of your permissions should be groovy.
    Otherwise, get familiar with chown and chmod and you will be able to set things right.
    The above method is rather draconian and isn't for times when you need to replace a complicated NetInfo setup, but should work perfectly well for an essentially single user machine. However that probably rules out most Servers.

    Hi John,
    I performed that protocol, but even that didn't fix the problem!
    I know I've heard someone once suggest (in a moment of resignation) that I just use the blank name and password fields at login, but this is not really an option in elementary school. I only have 478 users in WGM, so I can't believe that would be too taxing for OS X Server!
    Thanks again for your thoughts on this.

    Jon,
    The last resort is to reimage.
    Are you managing computers by Guest computers or
    computer groups?
    John, we're talking about 23 computers here - re-imaging is not an option for me alone unless I have some technical assistance (I don't know how to 'ghost' images across a network).
    I was managing the users by Groups though I did have a list of the computers called "lab computers". I just noticed that when I try accessing the Computers tab in WGM (whether on my teacher's station or on the server itself) I get the same error message:
    Got Unexpected Errror
    Error of type -14136 on line 432 of
    ComputerListPluginView.mm
    Please advise!
    Thank you again,
    Jon

    The list of users is a plist file and should be at at /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow.plist on the clients. See this thread for more information:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2368769&#2368769
    If you've got a good plist from a client that sees the right users, you should be able to copy it over. If not, try backing up the file from one client and then deleting it and restarting.
