Patch Wizard report in ebs 12.1.3

Hi All,
I am using ebs 12.1.3 in oul5x64 . Using patch wizard to run analysis on a patch and i could go in OAM
to check for Patch Impact Analysis for Patch ...Everything works as it supposes to.
Questions:
I can view the "Patch Impact Analysis for Patch" in OAM but how can i print it out. I could not
find the print out feature anywhere or how can i use sqlplus to print out the result.
Appreciate if someone can advise or provide Oracle notes for this issue.
Thanks in advance.
Regards.

This feature is not available yet and we already have (ER 9703082 -- PROVIDE REPORT OR EXPORT BUTTON FOR PATCH WIZARD OUTPUT SUMMARY+IMPACT ANALYSIS) logged for the same.
Thanks,
Hussein

Export Patch wizard report to excel

Hi,
Is there a way to export the recommended patches list generated from the patch wizard to excel? I have tried the export to excel option but it failing.
Thanks,
Keith

OK here you go. You need the request id from submit recommend patches - so from recommended patches results page click on the request set id link and then get the Submit Analyze Patches (Wrapper) request id in.

Patch wizards

In patch wizard do you have to download patches before it produces a patch recommendations? Or how does it check whats missing?
Could someone send me a "sample report" of the patch recommendations as I dont have access to EBS.

Thanks,
HusseinI appreciate you taking the time to reply but can you answer the question - does the patch wizard have to download an up to date list of available patches before it can see what your missing?

Patch Wizard - Details Result is empty

Just setup Patch Wizard in a Test R12.1.3 environment.
Everything seemed to go as planned.
Just chose the default 'Recommended Patches' filter
- all the Requests completed Normally
- Recommended Patches Results Page shows Unapplied=248; Total (Applied and Unapplied=346)
But when I click on the Details Icon at the far right hand side of the page it doesn't list anything?
Before I ran Patch Wizard I applied 17270136 (but I applied it hot so now I am thinking perhaps I need to bounce it?).

Yes, please bounce the application services and check then.
Please also see (Using Patch Wizard, Getting Impact Analysis Reports for some Patches and Trying to Understand Why This Is Not Being Produced for Other Patches? (Doc ID 1586700.1)).

How to send a Patch Impact report to a user?

Hi:
This is for 12.1.3, 10g on linux. Would please someone tell me how to send a Patch impact report to a user. She doesnot want to go to EBS to look and I asked me to send her a report. I have looked but didn't see anywhere I can do that. Please guide me.
Thanks and regards

I ran a patch analyzer from OAM and got a report from "Impact". I was hoping the func person can also login to the OAM and see there. But she wants me to send a report to here. But when you click on the "Impact" There is no single report but a lot of clicks. I am asking if there is way to copy/download the report?
Nayas has already answered this question -- You can save the report (File > Save As) or take a screenshot or whatever is convenient for you and send it to the user.

Issues with patch wizard utility

We downloaded the infobundle manually due to issues with metalink credentials, When we go to run a patch recommendaiton report (with the second filter in the list) it is still giving the error in the log:
"WARNING: The MetaLink Credentials have not been set up.
Please use the MetaLink Credentials page to enter the login credentials you use to connect to the Oracle MetaLink.
The MetaLink Credentials page can be accessed from Setup (Icon on the top right) > MetaLink Credentials link."
Why would it fail if you have already downladed the bundle manually.
Also it shows further down the error log:
"Error : Not able to download the infobundle
Not able to find infobundle in staging area
Infobundle not already uploaded
Hence Failing"

Patch wizard output

I have asked our admin to run some reports in patch wizard and they've sent me a set of xml files. When I open them its just nonsense. How does patch wizard export? Cant you export to PDF or similar? Or what do I need to be able to view the xml files in some sort of human readable format.

Quarterly CPU and Patch Wizard

We run an EBS 12.1.3 environment on Linux x86_64.
Patching has always been 'as required' and the client is finding this is an ongoing battle so they would like me to tell them how much work it will be to start applying quarterly CPU updates. I have only looked at applying a CPU once and I am a little unclear how the CPU process will works in conjuntion with Patch Wizard.
My basic viewpoint is the CPU will list all the components affected and I would follow that overall process to:
- first start with the database patching
- then move on to the middle-tier
- and lastly as in this case the application.
With EBS I am hoping the Patch Wizard will help me to get to the pre-reqs I need vs me having to manually check all that.
I have setup Patch Wizard in a Test instance and am just trying to decide if I should be looking at just "Recommended Patches" or "Recommended Patches and New Codelevels" or what the best practice is if any if my system is very out of date.
Does it make sense to view these two processes as working together or are the separate entities?

XML Publisher Report in EBS without Standard Oracle Report

Hi folks ,
i have some questions.
Can I create a XML Publisher Report for the EBS without a Standard Oracle Report in EBS.
So that I can build up the files with the Desktop Publisher, create Data Definition / Template with Upload / Create the executable und concurrent and than only start the new program in EBS ?
I have the situation that I can start my program with the template in the background but ít is searching for the report on the file system.
Thanks in advance for the feedback.
regards
Kay

Hi Ravi ,
can i do it only with the xml Publisher , because when i tried it in the past and get all the staff like Template / DD / CP up and running and started the CR i get an error from the system that he is missing a report directly in the file system... so he searched for the report himself on system like a standard 6i Report. But the template and the dd is stored in the db. So my question again, can I use the XML Puplisher without a Standard Report or can i use a dummy file only for checking and after that he use my template / dd.
regards
Kay

Calling a xml publisher report from Ebs - question

Hi,
I know how to call a xml report from ebs using concurrent manager. But i want to open it from a form in application.
My situation is this:
There is a form in the payables modelue, where i search for all the invoices.
There is also a button action in this form wich take the id of the row in wich it is my position and open a rtf raport with this id.
What i need to do is to call my xml report in this button . To pass my raport the id of the row in wich i am and open my report with paramateres.
Can this be done? Has anyone tried this before?
Thanks in advance,
Best regards

Hi,
You can use FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST for submitting the report. The syntax is as follows:
function FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST
(application IN varchar2 default NULL,
program IN varchar2 default NULL,
description IN varchar2 default NULL,
start_time IN varchar2 default NULL,
sub_request IN boolean default FALSE
argument1,
argument2, ..., argument99,
argument100) return number;
Here is the code that I used for submitting XML Report Publisher from within my Oracle Report's AfterReport trigger. The parameters are explained.
a:=FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST('XDO', 'XDOREPPB','Varun XML Report Printing', NULL, FALSE, :P_CONC_REQUEST_ID , 'MYONT','MY_PREPACK_XML','en-US' ,'N', 'RTF', :p_output_format,NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL,

Error when trying to patch Crystal Report 10

Hi, I'm having problem when trying to apply patches on PC running on Windows 7 64bit. Below is the error msg I got:
[http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/845/errorcy.jpg/]
It seemed to be something to do with the registry as I was unable to find crystal report entries under ''HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Crystal Decisions\Crystal Reports\......" but all the .dll files were found under "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Crystal Decisions........." though.
Anyone able to help? Thanks..

Hello,
Are you using the full Crystal Reports Designer itself? Or are you using a bundled edition of Crystal Reports that ships with Visual Studio?
Also, are you trying to patch Crystal Reports 10 itself - the actual report designer? Or are you trying to update runtime files for an application you created using the CR10 runtime files and deployed to a client machine?
Crystal Reports 10 (full, stand alone version) was never tested on Win7. CR10 reached End of Life for patch support on June 8, 2007. There's no expectation that CR10 will install or work correctly on the Win7 operating system. It's possible that it might work anyway, but I'd be surprised if there weren't any issues.
If you want to keep trying make sure you're using the correct patch for the product you're using. A patch for the full version of Crystal Reports will not work on a machine that is using the bundled edition of CR that ships with Visual Studio. They're not interchangeable. You didn't say which file you ran when you tried applying the patch.
Sincerely,
Dan Kelleher

Calling a BI Publisher Report in EBS 11.5.10.2

I have created a custom BI Publisher report in OBIEE 10.1.3.4. This was developed on my desktop. Now i want to implement this report in EBS 11.5.10.2 application. What are my options. Also I think i need to install an OBIEE Server in an environment that EBS can access, right? Appreciate your inputs as I am working on a customer PoC.

Where is the OBIEE getting its data?
From EBS Apps Database.
I do not believe you will ever be adding in OBIEE to EBS. You can create the report template outside of EBS and then publish it within EBS (assuming the format is valid, etc.).
Yes the Custom Report is Built with a Custom RTF Template. Now how do I get to this BIP report to be called from EBS

Patch Wizard - Support Filter question

I've installed the Support Filter on my 11.5.10 CU2 system and ran it as a test to make sure my system would qualify for Extended Support.
The overall status of the job shows Recommended=0 and New Code level=0 so at first appearance it looks good.
However if I check the job status and sub requests of my 'Support' job I see a couple of requests that ended with warning.
The first job 'Submit Recommended Patches (wrapper) shows this in the Request Log:
**WARNING: Some patch information not uploaded correctly**
Patches which encountered problems during Upload:
1. 2147366
2. 2372715
If I look a little closer I see there are some INFO lines that say:
INFO: The patch does not contain f2147366.ldt since it is an old patch. Patch Advisor cannot be used for this patch.
INFO: The patch does not contain f2372715.ldt since it is an old patch. Patch Advisor cannot be used for this patch.
The jobs after that finish as Completed Normal" but the last job PWSTATUSTRACKER ends with 'warning' and the request logs shows:
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Start of log messages from FND_FILE
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Status Tracker: This request set is the dummy request to track the status of individual requests and assign the right status to the request set
Current request id : 783826

783779 Normal
783776 Normal

783546 Warning
783825 Paused
Overall request set Status is Error
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
End of log messages from FND_FILE
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
So is the overall status 'warning' due to the error where a couple of patches couldn't be uploaded but otherwise looks good.
My next step would be to submit a 'Recommended Patches' job or the 'Recommended and New Code Levels"?

Hi,
So is the overall status 'warning' due to the error where a couple of patches couldn't be uploaded but otherwise looks good.You will need to download those patches and apply it manually -- Please see (OAM PADOWNLOAD AND PAANALYSIS CANNOT DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN 11.0 AND 11i PATCHES [ID 352212.1]) for details.
My next step would be to submit a 'Recommended Patches' job or the 'Recommended and New Code Levels"?Please see (Patch Wizard Utility [ID 976188.1]).
