OBIA 7963 - HR Analytics - Customization Question

**Issue Description:** : OOTB Headcount calculations should exclude group of people who are called as non executive directors (NED). There are no indicators/ Flag in the source system to identify who is NED in a particular point in time. There are some CSV files (Outside source system) with the list of employee who they identified as NED between two dates
Proposed Solution:
I am planning to use this CSV as lookup file for the incoming source data and stamp employee records with NED_IND (Y/N or 1/0) between two dates, however I have following questions
1. Should we stamp this NED_IND flag in Employee dimension (W_EMPLOYEE_D) which is designed as Type 2 SCD OOTB or
2. Should we stamp this in workforce fact table (W_WRKFC_EVT_MONTH_F) as a NED_IND indicator flag (1 or 0), so that this flag will be available as part of snapshot calculations
Considering the fact that OOTB Workforce fact process is reasonably complicated with series of mappings both in Full and Incremental load, would you suggest any of above mentioned solutions or any better solution so that we can reduce unnecessary customization of OOTB ETL and preserve existing logic?
Thanks in advance for your time

A few things to consider:
1. If you are trying to alter the actual "Headcount" metric, then you need to edit the FACT tables. This includes the EVENT as well as the MONTHLY snapshot. You may also need to modify the logic of the "ACTIVE/INACTIVE" flag...as this is what is used to calculate the headcounts. Essentially, edit the SDE to bring in the NED FLAG, and then modify the logic for how OOTB "ACTIVE/INACTIVE" is calculated.
2. If you are running reports that use EMPLOYEE DImension, and you want to also see if the Employee is NED or NOT NED, then yes, you should also add this to the Employee Dim. Also, suppose that an employee can BECOME NED...if you need to capture this history, then you need to add the SCD logic. Also, if an existing employee can become NED..you may have to alter the incremental logic to modify both the DIM and the FACT.
What may be simpler is just to modify the SDE mapplet to use the LOOKUP for NED..and flag those as INACTIVE in the SDE itself...in which case you do not have to modify the downstream ETLs.
Hope that helps. Pls mark correct or helpful.

Analytics dashboard question

I'm a Captivate user and I wanted to get a better understanding of the Analytics Dashboard so I've downloaded the Presenter 9 trial. I've enabled analytics as well as reporting for a SCORM 2004 environment, published a file with multiple questions, and uploaded the zip SCO into my LMS as well as into SCORM cloud.
When I launch the module I'm presented with the user login prompt, but when I enter my information and click Sign In I get an error message "Error connecting to server, try again." If I continually try to login it will eventually move into the content.
I've also tried launching the content without the SCORM reporting turned on and running the module from a web server, but I still get at least one error message about being unable to connect to the server.
In all three cases, the data from the attempts isn't updated in the learning dashboard. Since I haven't found any information about how this functions I'm guessing that either the data doesn't get updated dynamically or that the error messages are causing the problem.
Can anyone enlighten me to these issues?

Hello,
Sorry to know that you are facing problems with Analytics dashboard in Presenter.

OBIA 11g: Financial Analytics Config

We are configuring OBIA 11.1.1.7 to Financial Analytics based on the tasks provided in documnetation. FInding it bit hard to understand the current documnetation structure after working on 7.9.6.3 where there were specific section for Fiancial Analytics related tasks.
Wanted to clarify the below. In 7.9.6.X we had to configure the below files as part of EBS GL configuration.
1> file_group_acct_names.csv
2> file_group_acct_codes_ora.csv
3> file_grpact_fstmt.csv
But apart from the 2nd file the other two files are not refered to in the OBIA 11g Config document. Not sure if those needs to be configured. If anyone has come across any categorized steps for Financial anlytics for OBIA 11g it would of help.. Di not find any here.
Cheers
D

First 2 files are referred in configuration guide. You can skip the 3rd one.
I have successfully configured Financial Analytics with these 2 files and some others. e.g for FA

AIF Customization Questions

Like many Arch users I have a set of home-brew bash scripts that I use to customize my system post install. After my most recent clean up & refactoring of these scripts I had the sinking feeling that I was simply reimplementing a subset of AIF and decided to take another look at using AIF as my custom install solution.
AIF looks great. The first couple times I peeked at it I didn't get it, but those were early days when I was fresh to Arch and still getting to grips with how things worked. I feel like I have more of a handle on things now and I'd like to put together a "gentle introduction" page about AIF at some point, based on my own "learning AIF" notes that I've been compiling. I have some outstanding questions that I'd like to get some feedback on, listed below.
AIF INFORMATION SOURCES
I have used a variety of sources to draw on during my research into AIF. I would appreciate any pointers to other sources that I might be missing.

https://bugs.archlinux.org/index.php?st … =&do=index
OUTSTANDING QUESTIONS:
I have a couple questions that I'd appreciate feedback on. Apologies if I've missed anything obvious.
QUESTION 1: Custom Config File Installation
I was reading through the arch-releng mbox archive and am certain I came across a couple mails by Dieter addressing this in 2009, but for the life of me I haven't been able to locate them again. Dieter, I'd welcome your comments here if you have time.
There is a class of config files that are installed by existing core packages but which require customization in order to properly function on a given system. A good example of this is /etc/acpi/handler.sh .
To date I have been handling installation of these files in one of several ways:
heredoc used to write out a file
keep file in a special overlay subdirectory in relation to my post-install scripts and copy over from there
With AIF, it is less clear to me what the best approach is (again, I swear I read an arch-releng mail from Dieter about this from 2009). Options I can envision include:
Custom aif lib to copy a file from a subdirectory, wgetting or a vcs repo. I'm ok with writing this/repourposing my existing code and making it AIF friendly, but not sure this is the best solution. I'm also not sure where the best location for these custom config files would be in relation to the the custom profile (to which they seem most related). I'd like to keep them "close" to the profile itself (i.e. not scatter my profile and config files into disparate repos or directory structures).
Custom aif function to take heredocs from the AIF profile (since these files are specific to a system) and write them out. This would bloat the the AIF profile a bit, but isn't the worst solution. I've used this approach before in my custom scripts, it just requires some scripts to easily update the heredocs in the profile from current system configuration.
Custom package to install just the config (seems needlessly complex, particularly when the package is just to copy over a file, likely on top of a config already installed by another package)
Unknown AIF native solution. Something I'm missing?
So what's the best approach to installing these must-customize files during AIF? Any of the above or something I've missed?
QUESTION 2: daemons, modules, config file values
This is touched on in a mail from Dieter on Mar 31 2009 (http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/ … 00469.html) but I'm not sure that there is a current best practice solution. If I'm missing a function in AIF, major apologies and someone please point me in the right direction.
This question is similar to the above question of config files. When an existing config file shouldn't be overwritten completely, what's the current best-practice method of modifying it? Classic example is /etc/rc.conf adding and removing
daemons, modules, etc.
Personally, I have a custom lib function I use to add/remove daemons, modules, and individual config file settings (taking into consideration the @daemon variations), and I'm happy to use this as a custom lib in my AIF installs (or clean it up and propose a patch), but I wanted to make sure I'm not duplicating effort here.
I appreciate anyone that can take a moment to provide information on these issues.

altercation wrote:
Dieter, thanks so much for the (amazingly rapid) reply. I'll focus on reviewing the functions you've mentioned. Augeas looks interesting. I'll probably start by repurposing my existing code and will post once that's done.
A couple final questions:
Are there any (yours or others) custom AIF profiles/procedures you consider to be good examples (since the unofficial subdir is outdated)? Are your own profiles posted somewhere else on github?
Are you copying your own custom libs/procedures into /usr/lib/aif/user/* before using them? Or do you reference them otherwise?
Again, this is a huge help in understanding how to make use of AIF.
Ironically, all my available "arch dev time" is going into AIF itself. I once had the goal of completely automatic my home deployments with nice aif configs (in fact, this was the whole reason I started AIF in the first place) but I didn't work on that for a long time.
About the "own custom things", I forgot how that works, but the README says
* user modules -> /usr/lib/aif/user/<module name> (put your own modules here)
Btw on my blog you can also find somemore information

OIC Analytics setup question.

We are implementing OIC Analytics and have some architectural question and would appreciate if someone can answer. So far here is what we have done.
1) We are going to have OIC Datamart in separate DB so have created master/work repositories & target tables there.
2) Installed ODI studio and imported all the scenarios ( Oracle hasn't provided the interface/models so can't dig into details of process)
3) Established a DB link from OIC-datamart to OIC-EBS.
Now thing which is not clear to me is staging table cn_s_quota_fact_source and how it gets populated. Oracle has given the script and in description have asked to create in EBS APPS Schema.
1 ) But what if I want to create this table in target server. Can I do it and what scenario populate it ?
2) Oracle document E16110-02 says run "Incentive Compensation Analytics – ODI concurrent program" which will push transactional data to datamart. but what if I want to PULL instead of Push. Is it possible , if yes then how ?
I have gone through document Oracle Incentive Compensation Analytics for Oracle Data Integrator User and Implementation Guide(Part Number E16110-02) but it doesn't answer all the question. I am looking for someone who has real time experience implementing OIC for ODI.
Please share your experience.
Thanks & Regards

Dear Pahadia,
could you please send me the installation document of OIC analytics. My mail id is [email protected] Thanks in advance.

BI applications for EBS R12 release in OBIA 7963 release

Hi all,
Can anybody list the BI applications for EBS R12 release which supported in OBIA 7.9.6.3?
Thanks
Ram

Are you referring to the EBS functional modules? BI Apps has a numbe of product families (Financial Analytics, HR Analytics, CRM Analytics..etc) that can source from EBS as well as other ERP systems (PeopleSoft, Siebel, JDEdwards..etc). If you are looking for the functional areas, I would suggest asking your Oracle rep for the "Product Guides" for the package you need (e.g Financial Analytics, HR Analytics..etc). Also there is a "Content Guide" you can find on metalink that lists the OOTB reports, dashboards, and Metadata content (RPD attributes).
Here is the list of DAC subject areas under the vanilla EBS container..it may help for now until you have the other docs:
Employee Expenses

OAF page customization question - help needed urgently!

Hi,
To minimize customizations on an OAF page we are trying to handle some validations at the databse layer using a db trigger. The flow is that when the user hits Save on an OAF page and a certain column in a table is updated by the EO, a db trigger set on this column will fire off. Based upon whether the validation went through or not the db trigger might fail
with an error message. Question is will this message be displayed on the UI without any customizations so that the user knows what happened or will the OAF page just throw a null pointer exception? Also since OAF is writing directly to DB using an EO, will it be too late by the time the trigger kicks in and validates stuff and then based on if there was an error it rollsback the data? Can we rollback the entire transaction or not?
Please help!

Adding to Mukul's reply, yes if you are using OAF, let all the control be through the OAF. In your case any error in the DB will be sent back to the user in a very raw way which surely will annoy any user. Also we cann't comment on the rollback status.
My suggestion is to make use of a callable statement and call a wrapper pl/sql procedure which does all the validations for you (in case you have varied and complex validations) and returns a true or false based on which you can commit the transaction.

New BBM customization question

Regarding recently upgraded BBM version 5.0.1.38
First off, I have no issue with it...just a question. I used Bubble style chat. I noticed the background of the chate bubbles are a blue/grey with a darker grey border.
Is there anyway to change that? I'm not liking the grey too much...would prefer white.....silly question perhaps but it would be nice to customize futher.
Anyone know how or if it is possible?
Thanks.

Hi there,
Some features were likely changed in the interest of improving performance. Unfortunately there is no way to change this without changing the style (and even then, you are restricted to the appearance of the style).

MDS field customization question

I'm working on an application that I want to make customizable thru MDS. The part of the application that I am trying to customize is basically simple data entry. I want to use MDS because there are a lot of fields that potentially need data, but everyone uses different subsets of the fields and I would like to give everyone the ability to customize which fields they see on the various pages.
I thought Oracle Composer might be able to help with this. My initial idea was to put all the fields in a Resource Catalog and let people add them to the page as needed. But I can only find examples of add Task Flows and whole pages to the Catalog, not individual data fields with preset EL. The default Resource Catalog already has the ADF Components page that has individual components, but that seems to be populated from some backing Java, not something declarative and easily customizable.
So at this point I have 2 questions:
1. Am I approaching this customization problem correctly? Is there a better way for me to approach the customization aspect?
2. If there isn't a better way to perform the customizations, can someone point to be a good sample on how to populate a Resource Catalog with individual data fields?

From the SNMP navigator at http://tools.cisco.com/Support/SNMP/do/BrowseOID.do?objectInput=enterprises.9.9.293.1.4.0.3&translate=Translate&submitValue=SUBMIT&submitClicked=true
this is the fcNameServer Notification which makes sense since the 21 00 00 E0 8B 0F 00 E0 appears to be a fibre channel WWN. So, that is the Cisco-NS-MIB and is a notification. So, assuming I looked up the last digit in the notification in the MIB correctly, the description for 3 is: "This notification is generated by the Name Server when a new entry gets added to the Name Server database."
Thus, It appears the trap is that that PWWN was registered to the nameserver.

Installing OBIA 7963

Hi All,
I am trying to install just the HR analytics from the OBIA 7.9.6.3.When I come to the screen to choose the module,I have tried both (Choosing all the modules or just choosing HR analytics) and click next the file size is 3000+.So does it mean that by default you need to install all the modules through the installed and delete the SA's not needed.
Any Help in this regards would be gr*

Vcac6.x blueprint customization question/problem

Hi Guys,
I just started with Vcac6.x blueprint customization
I have a problem with my new blueprint that i have created concerning the customization
Blueprint exist out of the VM template ( created in Vcenter ) with customization spec (also created in Vcenter )
The Blueprint have 2 fixed volume drives ( C and D ) but i have created 4 build profiles to extend this template with 2 more volumes ( L & B Drive)
build profiles are like:
Name HDD B drive
VirtualMachine.Disk2.Size      20
VirtualMachine.Disk2.Label     Backup
VirtualMachine.Disk2.Letter     B
Name HDD L drive
VirtualMachine.Disk3.Size     20
VirtualMachine.Disk3.Label    LOG
VirtualMachine.Disk3.Letter     L
VirtualMachine.Admin.UseGuestAgent TRUE
VirtualMachine.Customize.WaitComplete     TRUE
Problem is when i deploy with the blueprint it's getting deployed but the B & L Drive are not there in the OS. When i check the settings of the VM i see there 4 VMDK. It seems like the drive are added to the VM but not configured in the OS
the VM template is a windows server 2012 R2 and the guest agent has been installed. Is there anything i can check so that this can work
Kr
Koen

Guys,
I found it. the agent couldn't reach the https://youriaas.vcac.x
Network adjusted the firewall and it works from one template
Now i've got an other problem
We have a template for Win 2012 R2 ( created in the past) and here i have installed my guest agent. in the template i can reach the https://youriaas.vcac.x/ and my cert.pem is 2kb. Which is good
I created the blueprint with the template and also defined the customization spec (Vcenter). I added also a customization for my D Drive - 20 gb. And i published it to the catalog
build profile is like:
Name HDD D drive
VirtualMachine.Disk2.Size      20
VirtualMachine.Disk2.Label    Data
VirtualMachine.Disk2.Letter     D
To test i did a request but here i noticed that only one disk is visible ( C drive ) and not my other volume ( D Drive )
But when i adjust the blueprint with my working template then i see in the request that the D drive is visible. Any checks that i can do or would the template been corrupted and should i start with a new vm and install my guest agent on it and convert it to a template --> created blueprint --> ...

More WIPEdit plugin customization questions

Hi,
I see from another thread called "WIPEdit plugin customization" that you can NOT remove/hide the tool bars that show up in the MLT (i.e. copy, paste, bold, etc..).
I'm just wondering what other options are available as customization? I see that the wes_book.pdf talks about:
1. Edits in the wipedit.ini file to change user or server side custom dictionaries
2. A variety of WIP Edit ActiveX controls/API's to add buttons or how to display the forms.
Anything else that I'm missing that can be customized?
thanks!

Hi,
There isn't a way to remove\hide or restrict these options whether from the toolbar or right click menu in the WipEdit plugin. (or Documaker Studio Data Entry Check).
thanks

Retail Execution Customization question

Attached are two screenshots of a VISIT. [Account information redacted]
What I am trying to ascertain is Can we manipulate the functionality of the button highlighted in the first screen (the cancel button) to change the verbage of the popup in the second?
We don't want to maniuplate the functionality so much as just he verbage on the Yes/No screen.
I've been looking through the config XML, with not much luck. IS this something inside the XML where we could direct it to a ZClass, or is this a core customization item?
Message was edited by: Michael Appleby

Hi Michael,
I guess you are using a cloud based REX solution ..right?
On the REX mobile app , there is a way to modify the XML labels and put in your own verbiage but i'm sure if the same can be done on the cloud based solution

Analytics Review Questions- Thanks!

Application info- is this tracking the total amount of downloads of the actual application via itunes, or folio downloads? If folio downloads, what is the difference between the applicatoin info. and folio info.?
- First time launch is just that, first time launch of_____?
- Launches is total launches for ____?
Are hyperlinks, videos, etc. tracked uniquely or duplicates based on total amount of foilo and/or applicaiton metrics?
If a folio is no longer published, but a consumer has this still on their phone- are you tracking their actions, views still in metrics, or does it stop?
Is there an 800 for help on these topics?
Thanks!

Hi Jenny,
Here are the responses:
1) iTunes can track app downloads. Once the app is downloaded, installed and launched for the first time, that is when DPS can track app first launch and startups. If readers download the app and never launch it, then you will find discrepancies between app download number from App Store and app first time launch number from DPS
2) after the consumer downloads the app from App Store, and launches it for the first time then this triggers DPS's "app first time launch" event.
3) this question is not clear. But here is some more info that could help. For folios that are not available for download, but if the folio has been previously downloaded - then as long as readers are reading the folio all folio related events will be tracked in DPS.
