Planning to move to Oracle Financials, need help

Hi All,
Currently I am working as a Supply chain management technical consultant. I have good experience in sql, pl/sql, shell and perl scripting. I am planning to move to Oracle financials (I was told that oracle suppy chain market is not that great for a technical guy). I would like to know what all I need to learn to start working as a financials technical guy.
Thanks in advance.

I do not quite understand what you mean.
I added the ActionListener when I initialize the
controls while the frame is loaded.Yes I missed that but you still have a loop in the event thread which is a NO NO. Maybe this will illustrate AN approach -
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class Fred702 extends JPanel
    public Fred702()
        super(null);
        setPreferredSize(new Dimension(640, 480));
        final JLabel label = new JLabel("Hello");
        add(label);
        final int deltaT = 50;
        new javax.swing.Timer(deltaT, new ActionListener()
            double theta = 0.0;
            double deltaTheta = 0.2 * Math.PI * deltaT / 1000.0;
            int r = 200;
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
                int x = (int)(Math.sin(theta) * r + 0.5 + r);
                int y = (int)(Math.cos(theta) * r + 0.5 + r);
                label.setBounds(x, y, label.getPreferredSize().width, label.getPreferredSize().height);
                theta += deltaTheta;
        }).start();
    public static void main(String[] args)
        JFrame frame = new JFrame("Fred702");
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        frame.setContentPane(new Fred702());
        frame.pack();
        frame.setVisible(true);
}

  • Need to learn Oracle Financials-Need Info

    Need to learn Oracle Financials.Anyone with any info.
    Please email [email protected]

    There are so many versions and packages of Oracle. Which one should I learn?
    latest version is oracle 10g
    but i think you will go oracle 9i rel 2
    because all commercial application use oracle 9i database.
    Which is the easiest way to get trained and certified? What kind of certification do I need?
    you need a oracle 9i dba certification
    or may be 9i developer certification
    it up to you
    but oracle 9i dba is more valuable than developer track
    you will learn this from oracle university
    excellent oracle material for ocp (but it is too costly also)
    http://otn.oracle.com/training/index.html
    Or u will read your self
    all oracle docs available athttp://otn.oracle.com/documentation/index.html
    better you will read first this
    http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96524/toc.htm
    download oracle software
    http://otn.oracle.com/software/index.html
    My need: to find a job that was similar to previous ones that I had. My previous job function was to develop database applications using Visual FoxPro,
    in oracle ,oracle developer is used for such type of application
    its front end tool
    gui tool like v.foxpro
    and oracle database is backend tool for store information
    i think v.fox pro perform both work as frontend as backend
    in oracle
    oracle developer is front end(old name is D2k)
    oracle database is back end
    i am also a developer but now find job as dba.
    i am always intersting in DBA . but in IT market
    there is no entry level DBA job and
    its very difficult to go for dba job without experience.
    so my suggestion is
    read your self
    install oracle on u r pc read docs from otn.oracle.com web site
    and find a job on oracle platform
    BEST OF LUCK AND I HOPE YOU WILL GET A BETTER JOB SOON
    hope it will help you

  • Stand alone oracle report - need help asap

    Hi,
    We are in ORACLE Apps 11i. We started using ORACLE BI Publisher to create templates for the Oracle Reports. How we are doing reports now is
    1) create data definition XML which has all the queries embedded.
    2) Create Data definition in XML Publisher Admin responsibility.
    3. Attach the Data definition XML to that.
    4. Create a concurrent program definition for the report with XML Type and run the report and save the data file with tags.
    5. Create the template ,rtf in Word and export data using ORACLE BI Publisher. 6. Create template definition in the XML Publisher Admin responsibility and attach this .rtf to that and run the report.
    Now I have a requirement stating that the REPORT SHOULD BE AN ORACLE STAND ALONE REPORT AND THE REPORT NEEDS TO BE RUN THROUGH CONCURRENT PROGRAM SCREEN. I am planning on doing the following steps.
    1. I have to create an .rdf using report builder.
    2. Create concurrent program executable and definition for the report.
    3. Create data definition in XML Publisher admin responsibility.
    4. Run the report in apps.
    5. Create the tempalte .rtf in word and export data with the XML Data file with tags,
    6. Run the report.
    Am I correct? Any help is appreciated asap.
    Thanks
    Akil

    You said,
    standalone report ?? is that mean without using bipublisher ??
    1st method.
    create concurrent program, output xml,
    create data template, create datadefintion , attach Datatemplate.
    run the cc pgm, get xml, design RTF , create template definition , attach RTF,
    run the cc pgm, you get the pdf output.
    2nd method.
    create rdf,
    create concurrent program, output xml,
    run the cc pgm, get xml, design RTF ,
    create datadefintion , create template definition , attach RTF,
    run the cc pgm, you get the pdf output.
    , both requires, cc pgm, rtf, data defintion , template definition.
    only differnece is , how do you get the data, i mean, xml...
    data template or RDF.

  • [Oracle 8i] Need help pruning branches from a hierarchical query

    My problem is that my hierarchical query seems only to trim out the values that don't meet my criteria, but still includes their children. When my query hits a record that does not meet my criteria, I want it to stop there. I've tried including the criteria in just the 'where' clause of the query, and have also put the criteria in the 'connect by' clause as well, but nothing has fixed it. Please keep in mind I'm using Oracle 8i, so I can't use some of the 'nicer' statements for hierarchical queries that they introduced in 9. I'm stuck with 'Start With...Connect By'.
    I have sample tables/data that I can post if someone needs to see that to help me, but to start with, here's my current query:
    SELECT     *
    FROM     (
              SELECT
                   LEVEL
              ,     c_bill.comp_part_nbr                     AS     c_part_nbr
              ,     (select c_part.part_desc
                   FROM part c_part
                   WHERE c_part.part_nbr=c_bill.comp_part_nbr)     AS     c_part_desc
              ,     (SELECT c_part.part_type
                   FROM part c_part

              ,     c_bill.qty_per                          AS     c_qty_per_p
              ,     c_bill.qty_per_type                     AS     c_qty_per_type
              ,     (SELECT c_part.qty_on_hand                
                   FROM part c_part
                   WHERE c_part.part_nbr=c_bill.comp_part_nbr)      AS     c_qty_on_hand
              ,     c_bill.oper_nbr                     AS     rqd_at_op
              ,     c_bill.comp_off_adj                     AS     rqd_offset
              ,     c_bill.bom_doc_nbr                     AS     p_part_nbr
              ,     (SELECT p_part.qty_on_hand
                   FROM part p_part
                   WHERE p_part.part_nbr=c_bill.bom_doc_nbr)      AS     p_qty_on_hand
              FROM
                   BILL c_bill
              WHERE
                             (c_bill.status           =      'RL')           
                        AND     (c_bill.view_code     IN      ('M','G'))     
                        AND     (c_bill.end_eff_dt     >      SYSDATE)      
                        AND     (c_bill.begn_eff_dt     <=      SYSDATE)
              START WITH c_bill.bom_doc_nbr=RPAD(?,25)
              CONNECT BY PRIOR c_bill.comp_part_nbr=c_bill.bom_doc_nbr
              AND     c_bill.view_code     IN     ('M','G')     
              AND     c_bill.status          =     'RL'
              AND      c_bill.end_eff_dt     >     SYSDATE
              AND     c_bill.begn_eff_dt     <=     SYSDATE     
         ) a
    WHERE     c_part_type = 'M'

    The outside criterion of part_type='M' isn't my problem. Where I'm actually seeing my issue rear its ugly head is in the criterion:
    (c_bill.view_code     IN      ('M','G'))What I'll have happen is that one of the children or grandchildren of the part number I'm querying for (my parameter), will be of some view code that's not 'M' or 'G'. In my sample data below, I have a level 4 part that is part of the 'H' view code, which I don't want, nor do I want it's children. However, its child is in the 'G' view code, and my query returns it anyway.
    In my sample data below, I'm assuming that the parameter = 'XYZ-100'

  • New Oracle DBA - Need help with backup & restore procedure via RMAN

    Hello everyone,
    I've been a SQL Server DBA for 12 years now, but new to the Oracle space. My first assignment at work was to refresh our training environment with production. So with that said, I took a full backup of our production database via RMAN and backed up the Control File. I then copied both the Control File and full backup from our production environment to training. I followed the procedures listed in the URL below:
    http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_rman_clone+copy_database.htm
    I then connected to RMAN and executed a 'show all' which is as follows:
    RMAN configuration parameters are:
    CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 1; # default
    CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION OFF; # default
    CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK; # default
    CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP OFF; # default
    CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '%F'; # default
    CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 1 BACKUP TYPE TO BACKUPSET; # default
    CONFIGURE DATAFILE BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
    CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
    CONFIGURE MAXSETSIZE TO UNLIMITED; # default
    CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO NONE; # default
    The CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP was set to ON but received a message that the database needed to be mounted, so, I mounted the database and made the changes, but when I shutdown the database and performed the startup nomount again, the settings were gone. Are these settings valid only when the database is mounted? How can I successfully refresh this training environment with production data? I'm at a standstill here so any help would be very much appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Pete

    The CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP was set to ON but received a message that the database needed to be mounted, so, I mounted the database and made the changes, but when I shutdown the database and performed the startup nomount again, the settings were gone. These settings are persistent settings.So these information retain in control files.To reading information from control files database instance must be MOUNT or OPEN stage.Due to you have mount instance and try SHOW ALL command through RMAN.
    Are these settings valid only when the database is mounted? Not only MOUNT also OPEN stage.
    How can I successfully refresh this training environment with production data? I'm at a standstill here so any help would be very much appreciated.
    There are several ways like duplication.But you take full backup from production database using BACKUP DATABASE through rman.In this case you will get also AUTOBACKUP for controlfiles/spfiles.Then copy these backup files and all available archive logs to training server and perform below steps.
    1) You have set properly ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID environment variable.After that first need restore spfile as
    rman target /
    startup force nomount;
    restore spfile from 'autobackup_location';
    startup force nomount;2) Now you have to restore controlfiie as
      rman>restore controlfile from  'autobackup_location';
    rman>alter database mount;
      3) Now need catalog(it means register) all backup files and archivelogs in new restored controlfile as
       rman>catalog start with 'backuplocation';
       4) Finally you can restore and recover your database as below
       rman>restore database;
    rman>recover database;
    rman>alter database open resetlogs;
       If you want restore database to new location then before executing RESTORE DATABASE command you can use SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE clause.Firstly refer backup recovery guide in online documentation.

  • Report Printing in Apex 4.x / Oracle Linux - Need Help

    Hi
    I am new to Oracle Application Express tool. I am trying to setup an Oracle Apex environment to start a new application development. So far, I have completed the following:
    1. Installed Oracle Linux 6.3
    2. Installed Oracle 11g Express (64 bit version). As you know, Oracle Apex is bundled in this.
    3. Completed the installation as per the documentation provided, and it works fine (I tried the following).
    - Able to connect to the DB via SQL*Net from other machines in the network.
    - Able to run Apex from other machines in the network.
    - Created new workspace and applications (pages etc) and they work fine.
    4. Downloaded the Apache FOP 1.1 binary and extracted the files under /usr (the extract created a directory fop-1.1 under /usr and all fop related files are there under this.
    5. Tested the fop by running "fop -fo <input_file> <output file>" from the $ prompt. It works fine.
    Now, I am stuck at setting up Report printing. Please note that, other that what is mentioned above, we have no other software installed on the server. Can someone guide me on how I can setup report printing with this software setup? Please help.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    With APEX you have two options for configuring a print server for PDF printing. BI Publisher and Apache FOP. The Apache FOP options actually refers to a J2EE app that we ship with APEX (see /utilities/fop/fop.war in your installation folder). This .war file needs to be installed on OC4J and then your APEX instance needs to be pointed to a specific URL in your print configuration, see more details here:
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex/application-express/configure-printing-093060.html
    When using the database 11g, you'll also have to enable networking services, which is also covered in the documented I mentioned above..
    Given what you outlined in your post, I'm assuming you're using the embedded gateway (built-in web server in the database). As an alternative, you might want to look at the APEX Listener, which actually has FOP built-in, so in your APEX Instance Administration you would only have to select the APEX Listener as the print options, and all the other config steps would not be needed
    More information on the APEX Listener can be found here:
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex-listener/overview/index.html

  • Migrating from Red Brick database to Oracle 11g -Need help with the process

    Hi,
    I am on this new project were we are migrating from IBM Red Brick Data Warehouse to Oracle 11g. We have a very tight time line. I was hoping if any of you have done this migration before and are willing to share their experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would like to get a brief idea about how to go about the process.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hello,
    that is a matter of supply and demand, and as the demand to migrate Red Brick to Oracle RDBMS is very low, Oracle never included Red Brick into the migration tools.
    If you search in the forums for Red Brick, you will not find much more than this one from the year 2006:
    Re: Migration from rebrick 6.0.3 to Oracle 9i
    Options:
    In general we have the following options:
    1. Oracle Migration Workbench
    2. SQL Developer Migration Workbench
    3. Generic Connectivity
    4. SQL*Loader
    Regarding your dedicated foreign database, option 1 and 2 fail as those tools
    do not work against Red Brick DB.
    Generic Connectivity would be an option if you have an ODBC driver to this database.
    In this dedicated case, you can then set up generic connectivity (= a database
    link to the foreign database using odbc).
    The Oracle database we support generic connectivity can reside on Windows,
    Solaris, HP-UX, AIX and Linux.
    If the Oracle database is on any other platform, you might migrate to a
    database on this platform, then export the migrated DB and then load it into
    the real target db.
    Generic Connectivity will allow you to perform a SQL*Plus copy of tables; this
    means you can create tables like they are defined in your source and transfer
    the data to the Oracle db; but no procedures, triggers or anything coded can be
    transferred.
    Last option (4) is that you generate "flat files". This means ASCII-SPOOL
    Files and then import them using SQL*Loader. As far as I know there is no
    existing SQL*Loader sample file for Red Brick databases exports and you need to
    write them on your own.
    I recommend to read also the following note in My Oracle Support:
    Note 233876.1: Options for Connecting to Foreign Data Stores and Non-Oracle Databases
    Best regards
    Wolfgang

  • Use Java Timer to move a panel smoothly, need help!

    I am using JBuilder to build an Windows Application.
    I put everything on the contentPane. There is one Panel I call it "jPanelDemo" and another panel "jPanelText".
    Now I want to start a timer, and move jPanelDemo panel from the right side of jPanelText to the same location of jPanelText, when the timer stops, jPanelDemo should place the jPanelText position.
    Here is my code:
    // declare the timer
      Timer timer1 = new Timer(1000,null);
      int timerSpeed = 1;
    // here is the ActionListener
        timer1.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
           while (jPanelDemo.getLocation().x > jPanelText.getLocation().x)
             jPanelDemo.setLocation(jPanelDemo.getLocation().x - timerSpeed, jPanelDemo.getLocation().y);
             contentPane.repaint();
             jPanelDemo.repaint();
           timer1.stop();
    // here to ensure jPanelDemo replaced jPanelText
    jPanelDemo.setLocation(jPanelText.getLocation().x, jPanelDemo.getLocation().y);
       );The timer is triggered by clicking a certain Jbutton.
    I did the similar codeing in .NET programming and it worked fine. However, I translate the code to Java. When I run this code, the timer actually works, and jPanelDemo does move and replace the jPanelText.
    The problem I am facing now is: when I start the timer, the movement of jPanelDemo cannot be seen, until the timer stopped, the jPanelDemo poped up at the same location of jPanelText.
    I tried to use contentPane.repaint(), it doesn't work for me.
    Please help me solve this problem.

    I do not quite understand what you mean.
    I added the ActionListener when I initialize the
    controls while the frame is loaded.Yes I missed that but you still have a loop in the event thread which is a NO NO. Maybe this will illustrate AN approach -
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    public class Fred702 extends JPanel
        public Fred702()
            super(null);
            setPreferredSize(new Dimension(640, 480));
            final JLabel label = new JLabel("Hello");
            add(label);
            final int deltaT = 50;
            new javax.swing.Timer(deltaT, new ActionListener()
                double theta = 0.0;
                double deltaTheta = 0.2 * Math.PI * deltaT / 1000.0;
                int r = 200;
                public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
                    int x = (int)(Math.sin(theta) * r + 0.5 + r);
                    int y = (int)(Math.cos(theta) * r + 0.5 + r);
                    label.setBounds(x, y, label.getPreferredSize().width, label.getPreferredSize().height);
                    theta += deltaTheta;
            }).start();
        public static void main(String[] args)
            JFrame frame = new JFrame("Fred702");
            frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
            frame.setContentPane(new Fred702());
            frame.pack();
            frame.setVisible(true);

    Hi Raghavendra, welcome to the forum!
    I suggest you remove you email from your post to avoid recieveing undesired emails.
    There are two OCA paths, OCA Developer or OCA DBA.
    For both paths you need to take one of the following SQL exams:
    1z0-007 Introduction to Oracle9i SQL (this is an outdated exam)
    or
    1z0-047 Oracle Database SQL Expert (more advanced exam recommended for developers/dbas with SQL experience)
    or
    1z0-051 Oracle Database 11g: SQL Fundamentals I (recommended for beginners or people with average experience in SQL)
    After passing one of these exams, if you want to take the OCA DBA path you need to do the:
    1z0-052 Administration I exam
    After passing one of the SQL exams, if you want to take the OCA Developer path you need one of the:
    1z0-147 Program with PL/SQL (outdated exam)
    or
    1z0-144 Oracle Database 11g: Program with PL/SQL (more actual exam, recommended)

  • Select layer/object will not move in PS, but will move another layer. Need help

    I appreciate the help ahead. I cannot figure this out with my Photoshop CC.
    Basically when I select a layer on the right, and then go to move the object in that layer, it moves a different layer behind it.
    In the screen shot below on the left I am selecting the artwork layer on the right, which is the flip flops on the shirt.
    From here I can use the arrows to move the graphic. However, as soon as I use the mouse to select the flip flop graphic and go to move it, the layer selection on the right jumps to the shading and moves a background layer.
    What am I doing wrong? Super frustrating!
    Running Win 7 x64 8 gig ram, i7, 2 gb Nvidia card.
    Thanks!
    Jason

    You probably have Auto Select Layer on. (Options bar)

    Hi,
    I'm an Oracle Supply Chain Consultant (not a Clinical consultant).

  • Oracle newbie needs help

    Hello,
    First of all: Sorry for my bad English! :-) Here is the problem: Our program (written in 4D) has the functionality that the users can export some of the data from theirs database (also 4D) into an Oracle database. Until now, the data was imported to oracle via transactions. Is the customer database very big, the export time takes over 36 hours. This is of course unacceptable. As an alternative, we export the data into an SQL file. (5-6 GB) What tool must I use to import the file to oracle?
    Has anybody an alternative proposal for a better solution?

    As an alternative, we export the
    data into an SQL file. (5-6 GB) What tool must I use
    to import the file to oracle?Does SQL file mean a text file including DDL (Create, ...)/DML (INSERT, ...) statements? If yes, you could use sqlplus to execute such a "script".
    Has anybody an alternative proposal for a better
    solution?If you can export data into a .csv file, you could use sqlloader/external tables.

    I'm trying to put a variable within my add_months function:
    AND     t1.edatetime >= add_months(sysdate,:v1)

    Hi,
    Sorry, I can't reproduce the problem.
    What do you mean by "I have tried defining the variable both as 'integer' type and 'numeric' type"?
    Like Max said, you should post a complete script that gets the incorrect results.
    Include your CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, or use tables that are commonly available.
    For example:
    VARIABLE      v1     NUMBER
    VARIABLE      v2     NUMBER
    EXEC  :v1 := -28 * 12;
    EXEC  :v2 := -27 * 12;

  • Pretty stupid move with dual monitors, NEED HELP!

    I recently had a problem with my Powerbook's screen. I ended up selling it to a 3rd party vendor and kept the powerbook as I though I would be able to use a external monitor and use the laptop as a desktop. However when I hook it up it doesn't show the login options. Obviously I do not have the external setting set to "mirror".
    Is there anyway to make this switch with keyboard commands at the login screen? Anything else I could do that would allow me to fix this disaster?
    Thanks,
    Jeremy

    If you push F7, does that toggle it to the external monitor?
