Oracle Sales Analyzer

Hi,
I'm new to Oracle Sales Analyzer and was wondering if anyone could assist me.
If you have any idea about any sites which could give me a more detailed explaination I'd be more than grateful.
I have created my dimension tables and now I was wondering whether I needed to create cubes before starting OSA. Another question that I had was how exactly will I use OSA ( ie how will I move my data from the database and access it over OSA).
Awaiting an early reply.
Thanks
Maria

The name of the attributes in the RAA project must be spelled DATE and TIMESPAN exactly. The names of the columns in the relationship tables can be anything.
If you are using DATE and TIMESPAN for the names then look at the express structure PRIOR.x, where x is the dimension abbrevation, and make sure that PRIOR.x is being populated correctly.
Hope this helps.
Let me know if I can help further.

Oracle sales analyzer 11i

I would like to know if Oracle sales Analyzer 11i is available as SAAS (cloud)?
is Oracle sales analyzer part of the Sales and marketing on the cloud service?

It is regarding Express Database that was used by a client at their Head Office. They have provied us some DB files(e.g. "mdw.db","dmdw.db","mdmdw.db","pdmdw.db" and similar more like these). They have been using these databases in their sales analyzer through express relational access administrator. Now we want to user their database in our OLAP environment with our sales analyzer. But after attaching these databases in express server, we can't connect sales analyzer/application manager tools of OSA to these through relational access administrator. Can you explain why or How can we use those db files in our environment?

Oracle Sales Analyzer and Financial Analyzer

Hi All,
Where can I download Oracle Sales Analyzer and Oracle Financial Analyzer? Are they part of any module / package?
Thanks for your help,
Shailesh

Above given information is really helpful especially for newbies who wants to retrieve the multidimensional data from sql 2005.
I would also recommend a book on OLAP and believe me its pretty informative.
The [book is available on Amazon|http://www.amazon.com/Multidimensional-Data-Modeling-Toolkit-Intelligence/dp/0981775306] & you can buy an e-book directly from the publisher by writing [email protected]

How we can run Oracle Batch Manager in Oracle Sales Analyzer

Hi,
Please guide me how we can run Oracle Batch Manager in Oracle Sales Analyser.
Best Regards,

You cannot run Batch Manager directly from within the OSA Administrator or Analyzer clients. Batch Manager has its own GUI client that can be used the define and schedule jobs, however, it also possible to run and montitor jobs via command line as well.
The documentation helps explain this:

Does that help?

Finding the SQL fired by Oracle Sales Analyzer

Hi,
Is there a way to find out the SQL fired against the database by Sales Analyzer?.
TIA,
Vijay.

It is a very long time since I used OSA, but there is a way to get at the SQL. Try one of the following:
1) try describing the program SQ.WRITESQL as I think this may contain the required code
OR:
2) on OSA client (Windows) enable tracing by going to Help-Express Monitor and type:
ifcopy=y
badline=y
echoprompt=y
prgtrace=y
dbgoutfile '/path/trace.txt' nocache
OR
3) Use the RECAP command in the Express Monitor window, this will show you the last series of commands issued and you should find the SQL code buried somewhere.
Sorry I cannot be more specific, alas I don't have OSA installed anymore but it is great to hear from someone still using it.

Error while running Oracle Sales Dashboard in JDeveloper

Hello,
I am trying to extend the "Update Customer" page in Oracle Sales and have my new custom region ready, which I intend to plugin through personalization in the "Update Customer" page in Oracle Sales.
Before I can do that I need to be able to run the Oracle Sales Dashboard through Jdev. I have added the following standard Oracle BC4J packages to my project:
oracle.apps.asn.common.customer.schema.server
oracle.apps.asn.common.fwk.server
oracle.apps.asn.common.schema.server
oracle.apps.asn.dashboard.server
oracle.apps.jtf.cac.schema.server
and the DashboardPG.xml. In addition I have the JTF, ASN, ASF, AR and AS schemas added as libraries to my project.
I am trying to run this page through Jdev and then following navigation path to the "Update Customer" page:
- Click on Customer in the Shortcuts link on the Sales Dashbaord
- Search for customer ..the search fetches the results w/o any problem.
- Click on customer to view the customer details
- Click on the "Update Customer" button.....................It is here that I get the following error.
This is clean (new project) with ONLY Oracle objects in it. I am only trying to run the Sales from Jdev first.
Does anyone know what am I missing? Why am I getting the following error when I try to update the customer details?
I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks.

Logging the XML payload in Oracle Sales Cloud

How can xml payloads for inbound and outbound web service call be logged in Oracle Sales Cloud?
We need to capture the xml payloads as part of web service calls (inbound/outbound) and store it on server/objects.
Is it possible to achieve this and if so how can this be done?
Thanks,
Abhishek

For outbound invocations from Sales Cloud, how are you invoking the web services today?
If you are using groovy scripts to invoke, you can using a println after the invocation and view the messages through the "Runtime logging" feature.
This should work if you want to view the payload for debugging purposes
However, I also see that you need to store the response. Are you trying to implement auditing?

Customizing Oracle Sales Reports

I am trying to customize a report in the Oracle Sales module. For instance, there is a Customer Organization Summary page that lists customers. Our employees would like a column added to that page that has a link to the Organization Notes page. How can this be done? Can the JSPs or java classes be editted? Is there a way to do this from the database side?
When you customize a report using what provided, it lets you select some columns. One is FlexFields...but this includes a bunch of new columns. Is there a way to add a custom column?!
Another customization is adding a new section to a summary page. Is there a way to add new sections to an existing report?
Any assistance is greatly appreciated. If there are any Oracle consultants who work these forums, please give me some insight.
Thank you!

Have you looked at the ASO_PQUOTE_TEMPLATE lookup (Order Capture)?. This provides the capability to register your own template reports (.rdf). Make sure the Lookup code & Reports .rdf file name are same.
If you need more specific customizations, Unfortunately there is no easy way to do it in 11.5.9
I have customized some reports for Quoting, by adding custom actions to the JSP using JSP includes. As these JSPs are hardcoded, modifying is the only way to customize.
To minimize the level of Upgrade maintenance, write the custom code in separate file and include it in main (Oracle's) jsp something like this
<%
if ("PRINT".euqals(qotHdrActCd))
%>
<%@include file="myCustomJspInclude.jsp" %>
<%}
else -- Other Actions.
%>
<%
%>
Hope this helps

Regarding Oracle Financial Analyzer

Hi all
Does oracle Financial Analyzer works with Oracle Apps only or can it be used with Other ERP packages also??
2)Is there any document on how to get reports regarding EVA,RAROC using the Oracle Financial Analyzer.

Hi,
OFA: How is it related to DW. Is it an OLAP tool? if yes How is it different from Express Objects and why two tools like OFA and Oracle Express Analyser/Objects?
DW usually refers to a larger enterprise solution including multiple solution areas of data consolidated. OFA is an OLAP tool which typically only focuses on one or a few solution areas, such as Finance or Human Resources. OFA is a prepackaged solution much like Office productivity software, where as Express Objects is a complete development environment for OLAP applications. Express Objects is comparable to Oracle JDeveloper or IBM Eclipse, only it's for an OLAP data source (Express Server that is).
Why two tools, well some people want custom applications developed from scratch because of user requirements and data analysis needs, while others are happy with a predeveloped solution that only needs a little customization such as OFA. OFA does a great job in the Budgeting/Planning/Reporting area.

Error Handling in Oracle Sales Cloud

Is there a best practice guide/document for error handling in Oracle Sales Cloud?
For example: Error handling in groovy scripts, business processes.
Can someone provide a starting point to this topic?
Thanks,

Hi.
Please review this short video showing you the online logging feature for Application Composer - Groovy. It's very simple and gives you a basic debug capability.
