Oracle Utilities CCC&B - Rate Engine

Hi Guys,
For a typical CC&B Implementation, do we need to have an external Rate engine like LoadStar?
How much percentage of the existing CC&B Customers are not using any external Rate Applications other than CC&B's inbuilt modules ?
Can the Rate module handle Intervel Billing from end to end?
Kinldy post if you have any info on the above queries.

CC&B can certainly handle Interval billing from end-to-end, this includes mapping of Time Of Use Profiles and any on-site aggregation or derivation rules that need to be applied to the readings before they are billed.
The majority of our electricity customers have some interval metered components.
Be aware that the configuration of interval sites can be as simple or complex as you need it to be, Interval readings can be rolled up into a single daily/peak/offpeak component and billed similar to a basic metered site, or alternatively you can implement full spot-priced billing, both using base CC&B functionality.

Error while configuring Eclipse SDK for Oracle Utilities SDK 2.2

Hi.
I'm installing an Enterprise Taxation Management development workstation. I followed the install guide from top to bottom.
The application server is ok, the SDK seems to be OK.
I executed 'configureEclipse.exe' and made manual configurtions -as the install guide reads-. The eclipse project was created, but it has 2 missing libraries.
When I open eclipse, it shows the following errors:
Project EclipseProject220 is missing required library: 'lib/ojdbc5-11.1.0.6.0.jar'
Project EclipseProject220 is missing required library: 'lib/spl-ccb-2.2.0.jar'
My questions is ¿where do I get those jar files?
About the environement:
The develpment workstation is a laptop running Windows 2003 server, with ETM v2.2.0 Application Server installed. 3rd party SW is installed ok (appropiated versions). Web Server is Apache Tomcat v6.0.13. Eclipse v3.2.2. Oracle Utilities SDK v2.2.0.5 installed.
Database is installed on another computer, running Windows XP with Oracle Database 11i, connected on a LAN.
Thanks in advance.

I had these problems too..
I suppouse you're installind TAX (ETM) so the library you need is lib/spl-tax-2.2.0.jar'
On the other hand, the othe 'lib/ojdbc5-11.1.0.6.0.jar' eclipse is asking for. I changed it for 'lib/ojdbc5-11.1.0.7.0.jar'
After change these libs I can run the generator and deploy scripts even when i don't know jet how to develop.
Dou you have some cookbooks for developing (algorithnms, modify native clases, ect) you'd like to share??
Thanks a lot.

Not able to execute startEclipse.bat file in Eclipse (Oracle utilities SDK)

In Eclipse installation, i am not able to run "startEclipse.bat" file in this path "C:\SPLSDK\SDK\shortcuts" which comes under Oracle Utilities Software Development Kit 4.0.0.
once i start installing startEclipse.bat, i get a error message "windows cannot find /eclipse.exe, make sure you typed correctly and try again"
and how do i find the eclipse.exe on the installables? also in error message it shows backslash "/"eclipse.exe while executing "startEclipse.bat" file.
jdk and hibernate paths are located in "c:\spl". Is that fine?
And When I click “eclipse” in this path “C:\SPLSDK\SDK4.0.0.4\eclipse\eclipse-jee-galileo-SR2-win32\eclipse”, I get error "java runtime or jdk should be available in order to run eclipse. and no JVM was found after searching for the folder "C:\SPLSDK\SDK\4.0.0.4\_jvm\bin\javaw.exe" ". I have installed Jdk in “C:\spl\jdk1.6.0_18”. And to install Eclipse, should I change the path of installing jdk to support Eclipse installation?
what could be the reason?
Please give me suggession that how to install eclipse?

OUAF Application Framework install question - for Oracle Utilities SDK 4.0

Hi,
I hope someone can help me, I am really confused.
I have a working install of MDM 2.1 and everything is working.
Now I need to install the OUAF SDK to start coding in JAVA but since I a mstill new to all this I dont really understand where the Application server is. I though that I installed that already. But it is not found in C:\ouaf\demo.
I have the framework installed, I do not understand why the SDK is telling me wrong folder.
Oracle Utilities Application Framework V4.1.0 Multiplatform is the one I have installed.
Here is the install doc:
http://www.box.net/shared/k86v1a4gtc793ho1zc20
Here is part of the install doc:
• OUAF Application Server in 32-bit and development (exploded) form. The installation will prompt for the folder name where this is installed. Note the first 2 digits of the versions (e.g. “4.0”) of both the SDK and application server must match.
I found the patch number to the SDK here: (but where do I find OUAF app server?)
http://blogs.oracle.com/theshortenspot/entry/new_releases_of_oracle_utiliti
10043375 - Oracle Utilities SDK 4.0.0.4 (for OUAF V4.0.2 based products).
Edited by: LodestarGuy on Jul 3, 2011 11:57 AM

Actually it did mess up. App server not starting anymore. The folder structure did not change also.
Here is the config env screen after the changes:

Invoking oracle utilities in Oracle10g on Red Hat Linux

Hi,
I manage an oracle 10g database on Red Hat Linux Enterprise Server 3.
I have problems invoking oracle utilities like netca, dbca, dbua etc from the bin directory. Every time i type netca while in the bin directory, i get the following error:
bash: NETCA: command not found
however when i type ./netca while in the bin directory, this is what i get:
****ORACLE_HOME environment variable not set!
ORACLE_HOME should be set to the main
directory that contains Oracle products.
Set and export ORACLE_HOME, then re-run.
i then set the enviroment variable thus:
set ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.1.0/db_1 export ORACLE_HOME
Further attempts to invoke netca still gives the same errors listed above.
please help if u can.
olumide

Hi,
check the installation guide how to set the environment. $ORACLE_HOME/bin is not included in the PATH variable (therefore bash: NETCA: command not found), ORACLE_HOME (and I assume other environment variables) are not set.
Don't read instructions word-to-word ,
set ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.1.0/db_1 export ORACLE_HOME' is syntactically wrong, use
export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.1.0/db_1 .
Best regards

Oracle Retail Integration - Currency Rate Oracle Object

Defect 13014568 has been created via Defect Workbench iBug portal request id: (3095217).
Fix is ready for QA.
It is planned to be released in RIB 12.0.11.4 bundle, expected by 31st Jan 2012.
In version 12.0.11:
The Oracle Object for currency rates CreateCurrencyRateRibObjects has a precision of 10 for the field conversion_rate number:
DROP TYPE RIB_CurrRateDesc_REC FORCE ;
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE RIB_CurrRateDesc_REC UNDER RIB_OBJECT (
from_currency varchar2(3),
to_currency varchar2(3),
conversion_date date,
conversion_rate number(20,10),
user_conversion_type varchar2(30),
OVERRIDING MEMBER PROCEDURE appendNodeValues( i_prefix IN VARCHAR2)
The XSD for currency rates CurrRateDesc.xsd omits the precision:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xs:include schemaLocation="RIBDate.xsd"/>
<xs:element name="CurrRateDesc">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="from_currency" type="varchar23"/>
<xs:element name="to_currency" type="varchar23"/>
<xs:element name="conversion_date" type="RIBDate"/>
<xs:element name="conversion_rate" type="number20"/>
<xs:element name="user_conversion_type" type="varchar230"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
Can precision be added to the XSD, to the database precision for java integration?
Please advise,
Thanks, Paula
Edited by: paula on Jan 8, 2012 6:14 AM

Answer:
Oracle object is correct. Change the XSD schema to:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xs:include schemaLocation="RIBDate.xsd"/>
<xs:element name="CurrRateDesc">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="from_currency" type="varchar23"/>
<xs:element name="to_currency" type="varchar23"/>
<xs:element name="conversion_date" type="RIBDate"/>
<xs:element name="conversion_rate" type="number20" precision="10" />
<xs:element name="user_conversion_type" type="varchar230"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
<xs:simpleType name="varchar230">
<xs:restriction base="xs:string">
<xs:maxLength value="30"/>
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
<xs:simpleType name="varchar23">
<xs:restriction base="xs:string">
<xs:maxLength value="3"/>
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
<xs:simpleType name="number20">
<xs:restriction base="xs:decimal">
<xs:totalDigits value="20"/>
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
</xs:schema>
Then regenerate the typed castor java objects.

Error while installing Oracle Utilities Application Framework..

the Jar file available in the directory specified and version is also correct.
I am new to this, will anyone help me out.
Need your help.

It would help if you provided osme basic information like what version you are installing, what operating system, 32 bit or 64 bit. We may like to help but we are not mind readers.
If you happen to be installing one of the latest versions of the framework (CC&B FW 2.2 SP 8) there is an issue.
You may have to start off with hibernate 3.2.5 then run the framework installation.
This may not do a full install but you may find that only 1 or patches have not been installed and the issue is that these require hibernate 3.2.7
So go back and install the hibernate 3.2.7 and change the environment variables to point to the new version.
Re-run the framework installer.
You may get errors in that the patches that did not previously install properly cannot be installed.
This is because they have entries in the etc/installed_fixes.txt file.
edit the etc/installed_fixes.txt file and delete the patches that will not install.
re-run the installer now and the rest of the patches should now install
The 2 offending patches may be 9384543 and 9080333.

Integrating Oracle Utilities using Oracle SOA

Hi,
I need help on how to proceed to integrate Oracle utilities using Oracle SOA
Our project has around 13 modules like New connection, Disconnection, Dismantle, Billing , Global Information System
Each modiule will interact with different other modules to get few services.
For Example: 1)New Connection module should interact with Billing to generate the invoice in one scenarion
and with Global Information System to identify the location in other scenario
2) Same way Disconnection need to interact with other modules to get some information from other modules.
3) All modules may need a SMS/ Email facility to send to the customers.
I need to integrate this kind of application using Oracle SOA
Please help me on how I should proceed further.
Do i need to create a seperate BPEL process for each request of individual module and give them the endpoint of my WSDL to interact with other modules ?
Can I have a single entry point and then navigate from there ? If so, the input params may vary, how this should be handled ?
Please help me on developing this kind of project. Any sample applications are also helpful ...
Thanks,
dbp

consider the adpater developers guide guide .. and the online help in JDeveloper .. that should give you a good head start ..

Oracle Utilities CC&B - Infrastructure Scaling

We are using Oracle Utilities CC&B 2.1 with Oracle 10g Database. Can anyone please suggest the optimum Database configuration that is required for a development/production environment.
Also kindly share any documentation for scaling the Infrastructure for a production environment.

Answering the originial question about production/development setting and also about scalability for production, there are many choices and options.
Naturally, it is best to split your production workload from your development workload. Separate servers for that. In the early stages, you may just buy development/test servers, later, production servers which (prior to go-live) would be configured for production use (hardened security, limited access etc).
Some customers split database and application. I know of one customer that is splitting database from online app and having separate instances for XAI and batch.
Reporting is always a concern and a separate reporting database which is a replica of the production database as of close of business the day before is useful to have for heavy reports generated by BI or crystal etc.
By thinking about how you can split various aspects of your CC&B prodiuction system (database, online app, XAI, batch, reporting, failover database etc)
you have an easier time should you need to scale certain aspects of your system.
This is a fairly easy way of scaling and separating.
As with all things IT and particularly UNIX the answer is generally "it depends...! "
