OBIA repository customization best practices

Hello experts,
I have what I believe to be a very simple question but it's one that I can not find a clear answer to. I'm looking to use OBIA 7.9.6.3 prebuilt data models for Financials, Supply Chain, and Order Management. My business would prefer the following customizations to the repository:
-BMM column name changes
-BMM description changes
-BMM logical hierarchy (drill down) changes
What are the best practices for achieving these changes to be sure that a future upgrade to OBIA will not overwrite my changes?

Hi,
Check Doc ID 546999.1 on support.oracle.com
Thanks,
Wilson

  • Looking for customization best practices related to Timezone feature in EBS

    Hi all,
    We are updating our 11.5.10.2 env to deploy the TImezone feature and i'm anticipating some issues for the customized code as i'm not sure the developers followed best practices about handling dates.
    Is there any documents where i can find the best practices to follow for customized coding in order to be compliant with the EBS Timezone feature ?
    Like for instance, Date APIs usage or the work to do to convert Date data for interfaces ?

  • Customization approach as per best practice for SharePoint Online

    Hi All,
    I am working for a customer for customization on SharePoint Online. I need to create following customization.
    For each department one site collection is required to be created. There will be 15 site collections.
    Each site collection will have couple of team sites.
    Each team will have couple of document libraries and customer list.
    Custom lists and document libraries will have custom views.
    MaterPage and Layout will be customized to apply the UI Branding.
    Customer wants that configuration management should be as per the Microsoft best practice. I am wondering what the approach I should use is.
    Should I create visual studio solution, but since there are 15 different site collections are required to be created I believe sandboxed solution will not be feasible sine sandboxed solution are scoped with site collection.
    I also believe if I do create visual studio solution that development efforts will be extensive.
    I am not sure whether it is feasible, use the SharePoint Designer to apply this customization but I am confused in this case. If it is possible then how I will promote the customization to production.
    I am also confused in case SharePoint online how I will keep production and development environment separate? What is the best practice around it?

    Hi,
    You can create Custom Master page using SharePoint Designer. And for first four points from creating Sitecollection to creating views you can create a hierarchy of objects in site using csv file and then create Powershell script to create sitecollection,
    team site, list/libraries and view by reading csv files.

  • OVM Repository and VM Guest Backups - Best Practice?

    Hey all,
    Does anybody out there have any tips/best practices on backing up the OVM Repository as well ( of course ) the VM's? We are using NFS exclusively and have the ability to take snapshots at the storage level.
    Some of the main points we'd like to do ( without using a backup agent within each VM ):
    backup/recovery of the entire VM Guest
    single file restore of a file within a VM Guest
    backup/recovery of the entire repository.
    The single file restore is probably the most difficult/manual. The rest can be done manually from the .snapshot directories, but when we're talking about having hundreds and hundreds of guests within OVM...this isn't overly appealing to me.
    OVM has this lovely manner of naming it's underlying VM directories off of some abiguous number which has nothing to do with the name of the VM ( I've been told this is changing in an upcoming release ).
    Brent

    Please find below the response from the Oracle support on that.
    In short :
    - First, "manual" copies of files into the repository is not recommend nor supported.
    - Second we have to go back and forth through templates and http (or ftp) server.
    Note that when creating a template or creating a new VM from a template, we're tlaking about full copies. No "fast-clone" (snapshots) are involved.
    This is ridiculous.
    How to Back up a VM:1) Create a template from the OVM Manager console
    Note: Creating a template requires the VM to be stopped (this is required because the if the copy of the virtual disk is done with the running will corrupt data) and the process to create the template make changes to the vm.cfg
    2) Enable Storage Repository Back Ups using the step above:
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E27300_01/E27309/html/vmusg-storage-repo-config.html#vmusg-repo-backup
    2) Mount the NFS export created above on another server
    3) Them create a compress file (tgz) using the the relevant files (cfg + img) from the Repository NFS mount:
    Here is an example of the template:
    $ tar tf OVM_EL5U2_X86_64_PVHVM_4GB.tgz
    OVM_EL5U2_X86_64_PVHVM_4GB/
    OVM_EL5U2_X86_64_PVHVM_4GB/vm.cfg
    OVM_EL5U2_X86_64_PVHVM_4GB/System.img
    OVM_EL5U2_X86_64_PVHVM_4GB/README
    How to restore up a VM:1) Then upload the compress file (tgz) to an HTTP, HTTPS or FTP. server
    2) Import to the OVM manager using the following instructions:
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E27300_01/E27309/html/vmusg-repo.html#vmusg-repo-template-import
    3) Clone the Virtual machine from the template imported above using the following instructions:

  • OBIEE Best Practice Data Model/Repository Design for Objectives/Targets

    Hello World!
    We are faced with a design question that has become somewhat difficult and we need some help. We want to be able to compare side-by-side actual measures with their corresponding objectives/targets. Sounds simple. But, our objectives are static (not able to be aggregated) with multi-dimensionality and multi-levels. We need some best practice tips on how to design our data model and repository properly so that we can see the objective/target for a measure regardless of the dimensions that are used in the criteria and regardless of the level.
    Here is some more details:
    Example of existing objective table.
    Dimension1
    Dimension2
    Dimension3
    Obj1

    - Right now we have quarterly objectives set using 3 different dimensions. So, if an author were to add one or more (or zero) dimensions to their criteria for a given measure they could get back a different objective. They could add Dimension1 and get 99%. They could add Dimension1 and Dimension2 and get 98%. They could add all three dimensions and get 97%. They could add zero dimensions (highest grain) and get 99%. Using our existing structure if we were to add a new dimension to the mix the possible combinations would grow dramatically. (Not flexible)
    - We would like our final solution to be flexible enough so that we could view objectives with altogether different dimensions and possibly get different objectives.
    - We currently have 3 fact tables with 3+ conformed dimension tables and a few unique dimension tables.
    Could anyone share a similar situation where you have implemented a data model structure with the proper repository joins to handle showing side-by-side objectives/targets where the objectives were static and could be displayed at differing levels with flexible dimensions as described?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    hi..yes this suggestion is nice...first configure the sensors(activity or variable) ..then configure the sensor action as a JMS Topic which will in turn insert the data into a DB..Or when u configure the sensor action as a DB..then the data goes to Oracle Reports schema..if there is any chance of altering the DB..i mean if there is any chance by changing config files so that the data doesnt go to that Reports schema and goes to a custom schema created by any User....i dont know if it can b done...my problem is wen i m configuring the jms Topic for sensor actions..i see blank data coming..for sm reason or the other the data is not getting posted ...i have used a esb ..a routing service based on the schema which i am monitoring...can any1 help?

  • Best practice when developing APEX apps and using a SVN repository

    Hi experts,
    I wanted to get your opinion on best practice regarding how to use SVN and APEX combined.
    The idea is basically how to structure and how to save APEX apps the best way in a repository.
    I am currently working with a custom SVN structure, not using the default TRUNC/TAGS one : every app has a folder , under every app folder i have PAge number folders, and for each page reports, regions and global objects separated.
    This helps me because its more readable then saving the whole page export, its good for small changes and i have a clear overview of every bit and piece.
    What is everybody else using or is there a best practice to follow here that i dont know?
    Kind regards,
    Alex

    @tomaugerdotcom
    Something like this might help: https://testflightapp.com/
    Concevably, you could roll your own internal service if that particular one doesn't suit you. (I don't have any knowledge about how they are doing it, but it shouldn't be hard to figure out since Apple's constraining rules would only allow a few possibilities.)
    USB app install and debugging isn't supported on iOS. You have to use wireless.
    Another option specifically for multi-touch dev/testing, is to use an Android device.

  • Is it Risky to Customize DeskTop InnerPage???? Best Practices pls!!

    Hi Friends,
    I would like to know, Is it advicable to modify the Desktop inner page??? I mean by modify/customize in the sense of changing the layout.
    Is there any best practice on customization of desktop inner page?
    If we want to customize/modify the desktop innerpage, It would be enough to work on a Copy - Delta Linked desktop innerpage rt? OR do i need to take the non-delta link desktop innerpage to work on it?
    Please advice me with any best practices on the customization/modification of Desktop Inner Page.
    Thanks in advance for your time!!!
    - Raghavendra Pothula

    Hi Raghvendra,
    There is no harm in modifying the desktop inner page.
    We have customized the desktop inner page according to our needs with a new layout. Make sure you make a copy of the original and not a "delta link". In the copied desktop make the changes that you want e.g. customized layout, change in detailed nav etc etc and then assign this desktop to the framework page.
    There is a best practice guide for portal branding but this deos not talk about desktop inner pages.

  • Customize OIM jsp forms using xlWebApp.war: Best Practice?

    Based on searching the forum, it appears that inflating the war files, making changes and putting them back again is the way to customize the jsp forms in OIM. Is this a best practice though? What happens when I want to upgrade? Do I lose all my customizations or is there another way to do this?
    Edited by: user4486549 on Jun 5, 2009 5:11 AM

    Hi,
    That is the only way to do it.In case of upgrade every time you will have to merge the changes in new war file and redeploy it. Just take care of one thing that do not modify existing jsp or classes.Create your own jsps and classes.

  • Best Practice for Customization of ESS 50.4

    Hi ,
    We have implemented ESS 50.4 on EP 6.0 SP 14 and R3 4.6C . I want to know what is the best practice for minor modification of ESS transaction . For eg : I need to hide the change button in Personal information screen .
    Pls let me know .
    PS : Guaranteed award points
    Aneez

    @Aneez
       "Best Practice" is just going to be good ole' ITS custom development. All the "old" ESS services are all ITS based. What can not be done through config is then done by developing custom version of the ESS services. For what you describe (ie. the typical "hide a button" scenario) it is simply a matter of:
    (1) create custom version(ie. "Z" version) of the standard service. The service file will still call the same backend transaction via the ITS parameter ~transaction.
    (2) Since you are NOT making changes that require anything changed on the backend transaction (such as adding new fields, changing business logic, etc) you are lucky to ONLY have to change the web templates. Locate the web template in your new custom service file that corresponds to the screen in the transaction where the "CHANGE" button appears. The ITS naming convention for web templates is <sapprogramname>_<screennumber>.
    (3) After locating the web template that corresponds to your needed screen, simply locate in the HTMLb where the "CHANGE" button code is and comment it out. Just that easy!
    (4) Publish your new customized service and test it out directly through ITS. ie. via the direct URL to it: http://<yourdomain>/scripts/wgate/<yourservice>!
    (5) once you see that it works, you can then make an iView for it in your portal (or simply change the iView you have to now point to your custom ITS service.
    LOTS and LOTS more info on ITS development all around this site and in the ITS sepcific forum.
    Hope this helps!
