Production release process using headstart.

Hello,
I am completley new to headstart. I have been given a new project to work on which has forms 9i, desginer 9i, oracle 9i AS and headstart 6.5.3.0 for 9i.
I would like to know how do I go about using headstart to generate forms. Specifically, I would like to know how do I develop using headstart and then deploy them to test and production environment. Do I need to install headstart( Middle tier and database objects ) in my production setup ?
I would highly appreciate if anybody can me a brief overview of development and production release process using headstart.
Many thanks,

Hi,
The headstart user guide probably has all the info you need. Specifically Part VI, Deploying your Applications, is just what you're looking for. You can find the user guide (along with other useful documentation in the <hsd65_home>\docs directory.

3rd party process using product allocation for ATP-check

Hi all,
is there anybody out there who can share experience in setting up the 3rd party process using product allocation on APO for ATP-check? As the documentation is not that impressive any help is higly appreceated.
Thanks
Michael

This will not be correct forum to reply to your query.
Still, try following Hyperlink for some understanding,

RAC node process using 25% physical memory

We have a QA server is non-RAC, and production is two-node RAC. We have a migration app that does an INSERT from SELECT over 2 instances. All of the machines have been in successful day-to-day use for several months...our only troublespot seems to be the migration app.
Today we started the app on the QA server and watched the oracle processes using top. They ran normally and finished without any problems.
The same app started on either of the RAC nodes produced process memory errors and died.
As the app ran, there was a process reading the data from the source instance and a process writing to the target instance. We confirmed this by querying the session data. It doesn't matter which of the nodes runs which target process...the result is the same.
The reading process(session) on the source instance seems to run normally. The write process on the target instance, however, begins slowly accumulating memory in about 16M chunks and holds on to them.
We saw this in the RES and in the MEM columns of top. The target process never released any memory, but slowly grabbed it until its
RES was 4GB and the %MEM was about 30%. The app then died with process memory error. This is reproducible over several runs.
( Per Metalink Note 567506.1, the recommended value for Linux 64-bit is 4294967295 ..we have that set. )
There are other oracle processes and instances running on both nodes which do not seem to be affected. The total number of processes on each machine is around 750..much lower than the nprocs ulimit of 63K.
These process are both oracle sessions spawned by the app.
I haven't seen any info on the web or Metalink that matches these symptoms, so I thought I'd try the experts.
Why would the write session continuously use up physical memory, but only on RAC nodes?
We are running RHEL5 on Dell Poweredge 2950 w 16K Physical mem. Version of 10g is R2.0.4.

RES was 4GB and the %MEM was about 30%. How does the writer process work? Does it use PL/SQL? Does it use bulk processing? How does it call the reader process? Or does the reader process call it? Is this over a database link.
The app then died with process memory error. This is reproducible over several runs.If this is an Oracle server process, then there should be an entry in the alert log of the instance that recorded the crash and includes the name of the trace file generated by the crash.

3rd party software tools to automate Weblogic deployments/release process

Folks,
I'm currently evaluating few 3rd party software tools to automate Weblogic deployments/release process - software release automation.
if someone has used products from Xepialabs , UC4 or Urbandeploy etc - can you advise how effective these are please?..
We have around 25+ enterprise level release environments based on Oracle weblogic on solaris and it is manual deployments via wlst scripts etc.
Also any ideas/suggestion on opensource projects would be great as well.
I will be really grateful if you can respond.
Regards,
Saha

Why not use the CLI and do it that way? i don't know it AppleScript hooks into the terminal and/or can run terminal commands but that may be worth looking into as well.
I would think that it would be a good idea to erase all your drives in the RAID at once and start fresh. Why not back up the internal to a pair of RAIDED external FW800 drives, add the second drive in the Mac, make the internal RAID by formatting both drives and then copy the external RAID back to the internal RAID? Oops, I know, now we have a step 4.
Nobody from Apple ever comments here. We are all users, just like yourself, that just want to help.

What is the difference between Release process and Prchase order process?

Like both processes are used to replenish, but than whats the need of both the processes.One of the process can be used to come up with request.Correct me if i am wrong.Kindly explain with an example

Hi Nandan, 
In purchase Order we have fixed date , quantity and schedule on which supplier has to deliver the items . 
Example:PO with Item A: 
to be deliver on 12-May-2010 20 quantity 
to be deliver on 12-Jun-2010 40 quantity 
In Release process we have quantity/price schedule agreement of item between supplier and customer.it specifies certain amount of quantity of the products that a supplier is to deliver to the customer in a specific time period. Customer uses MRP run at regular intervals and determines what exact requirement quantities are to be released from the scheduling agreement on certain dates.this schedule lines then releases to SNC to inform supplier about current demand 
In schedule agreement schedule lines have the following status : 
1)Fixed dates and quantities:Quantity and date of the schedule line are fixed and will remain unchanged. The schedule line belongs to a delivery-relevant release. The supplier can deliver the quantity without waiting for another acknowledgement or the customeru2019s request. 
2.Production and material go-ahead:The schedule line belongs to a forecast delivery schedule that is not relevant for delivery and is in the production go-ahead period. The supplier can, therefore, procure the materials for manufacturing the ordered products and start with production. If the customer cancels a schedule line, the supplier can invoice the material and production costs. 
3.Material go-ahead:The schedule line belongs to a forecast delivery schedule that is not relevant for delivery and is within the material go-ahead period. The supplier can, therefore, procure the materials that s/he requires for production. If the customer cancels a schedule line, the supplier can invoice for the material costs. 
4.Preview:The schedule line belongs to a forecast delivery schedule that is not relevant for delivery. The schedule line is not binding and may possibly change. The supplier can use the data for his or her own planning, however. 
Exmaple:We have schedule agreement of 1000 quanity for Item A and time period start date:30-Apr-2010 end date:1-May-2011 
Customer runs MRP/planning from he gets following schedule line with status as mention above 
quanti ty 100 with schedule line status Fixed dates and quantities which means Quantity and date of the schedule line are fixed and will remain unchanged. The schedule line belongs to a delivery-relevant release. The supplier can deliver the quantity without waiting for another acknowledgement or the customeru2019s request. 
quanti ty 200 with schedule line status Production and material go-ahead which means schedule line belongs to a forecast delivery schedule that is not relevant for delivery and is in the production go-ahead period. The supplier can, therefore, procure the materials for manufacturing the ordered products and start with production. If the customer cancels a schedule line, the supplier can invoice the material and production costs. 
quanti ty 300 with schedule line status .Material go-ahead which means schedule line belongs to a forecast delivery schedule that is not relevant for delivery and is within the material go-ahead period. The supplier can, therefore, procure the materials that s/he requires for production. If the customer cancels a schedule line, the supplier can invoice for the material costs. 
quanti ty 500 with schedule line status Preview which means The schedule line belongs to a forecast delivery schedule that is not relevant for delivery. The schedule line is not binding and may possibly change. The supplier can use the data for his or her own planning, however. 
Note that total quantity of product is 1000.,Depending upon schedule line supplier can plan his/her activity. 
Summary: In Purchase order supplier has to deliver fix amount of quantity on fixed date and time to the customer .
In Release process supplier can deliver the product depending upon schedule line status as mention above so advantage of using release process we fixed period and fix quantity in that period customer can send his demand to supplier whenever customer requires in schedule agreement time period. 
Thanks,
Nikhil

Invoking deployed bpel process using WLST

Hi All,
Am new to WLST. So please tolerate with me if i am asking the obvious
I read through the forums and have successfully deployed a BPEL process using WLST as given below
ant -f ant-sca-deploy.xml -DserverURL=http://localhost:8001 -DsarLocation=C:\oracle\Middleware\PS3\Oracle_SOA1\bin\sca_esd9_jca_bpel1.1_ccgd_trn_ob_rev1.jar -Doverwrite=true -Duser=weblogic -Dpassword=welcome1 -DforceDefault=true
And i have also tried un deploying and it works fine.
But, the problem is, i want to invoke the deployed BPEL process either by accessing the WSDL URL (http://localhost:8001/soa-infra/services/default/esd9_jca_bpel1.1_ccgd_trn_ob/bpelprocess1_client_ep?WSDL) or by any other means using WLST. I have to send an input to this deployed process.
I have googled it and have found ways to invoke a web service using JAVA or VBS. But is it possible to do it through WLST?
Thanks in advance.

Sancho,
Thanks for the prompt reply. We trying to automate the following process:-
1. The user select multiple documents from a folder in a library that contains all released documents.
2. He then locks the documents.
3. Selects the locked documents and copies it to a folder in the personal library.
We are trying to lock and copy the documents as a 1 step process, because its difficult for the users to select all of the documents locked earlier and then copy it the personal library.
We are trying to take the folder name as the user parameter, when the files are locked, so that the process and create the lock the files, create the folder and copy the files in this folder.
Thanks again for your time and help.

Release process problem

Hi,
I have a problem. currently our system using based on PO document type and net value to trigger release process. now new requirement to use based on account assignment item level so, po doesn't support line level i decided to use CEKKO - USRC1 = KNTTP based on user exit.
When i set-up charecteistics and assign vaues
then class assigned to charecteristics ( existing it self)
When class assignment with release code values.
Now when i create PO release process are not triggered please through me some lite whether config prob or user exit any thing need to done.
Regards
Jask

goto transaction OMGSCK and check that alll steps are green except the sheckk re release group and releae class step
in this step
Characteristic CEKKO_USRC1 exists (linked with CEKKO-USRC1) = green
You must maintain a customer exit for characteristic CEKKO_USRC1= yellow
if this all looks fine then the master data problems or PO ceration problems

How to kill Forms Runaway Process using 95% CPU and running for 2 hours.

We had a situation at E-Business Suite customer (using Oracle VM server) where some of Form processes were not being cleared by form timeout settings automatically.
Also when user exits the form session from front end, the linux form process (PID) and DB session did not exit properly, so they got hung.
They were spiking CPU and memory usage and causing e-business suite to perform slowely and ultimately causing VM host to reboot the production VM guest (running on Linux).
We could see the form processes (PIDs) using almost 100% cpu with "top" command and running for a long time.
Also we verified those Form Sessions did not exist in the application itself.
ie. Using from Grid Control -> OAM-> Site Map -> Monitoring (tab) -> "Form Sessions".
It means that we could safely kill that form process from Linux using "kill -9 <PID>" command.
But that required a continuous monitoring and manual DBA intervention as customer is 24x7 customer.
So, I wrote a shell script to do the following;
• Cron job runs every half an hour 7 days a week which calls this shell script.
• Shell script runs and tries to find "top two" f60webmx processes (form sessions) using over 95% cpu with 2 minutes interval.
• If no process is found or CPU% is less than 95%, it exits and does nothing.
• If top process is found, it searches for its DB session using apps login (with hidden apps password file - /home/applmgr/.pwd).
a. If DB session is NOT found (which means form process is hung), it kills the process from unix and emails results to <[email protected]>
b. If DB session is found, it waits for 2 hours so that form process times automatically via form session timeout setting.
It also emails the SQL to check the DB session for that form process.
c. If DB session is found and it does not timeout after 2 hours,
it kills the process from unix (which in turn kills the DB session). Output is emailed.
This are the files required for this;
1. Cron job which calls the shell script looks like this;
# Kill form runaway process, using over 95% cpu having no DB session or DB session for > 2hrs
00,30 * * * * /home/applmgr/forms_runaway.sh 2>&1
2. SQL that this script calls is /home/applmgr/frm_runaway.sql and looks like;
set head off
set verify off
set feedback off
set pagesize 0
define form_client_PID = &1
select count(*) from v$session s , v$process p, FND_FORM_SESSIONS_V f where S.AUDSID=f.audsid and p.addr=s.paddr and s.process='&form_client_PID';
3. Actual shell script is /home/applmgr/forms_runaway.sh and looks like;

# Description : Kills runaway form processes using more than 95% cpu
# and Form Session with no DB session or DB session > 2hrs

If you have the same problem with some other unix and DB processes, the script can be easily modified and used.
But use this with thorough testing first (by commenting out <kill -9 $PID1> lines.
Good luck.

Vendor create process using workflow

hello,
I have been assigned a project to desgin a process to automatically create a vendor. below is what I think has to be done. can this be reviewed to see if this is the correct approch and if not, suggest a better approach.
1) the vendor will sign onto our portal and submit their information to have them created as a vendor in our system. this information will be stored in a custom table
2) the portal process will have a ABAP program that generates the screen for the user to enter thier data. this program will also start a workflow that will send a notification to a person inside our company for them to review the information and decide weather the vendor can be added.
3) if the person approves the request, the workflow will submit a process to create the vendor, and send a approval email to the vendor
4) If the person rejects the process, the workflow will send an rejecction email will be sent to the vendor
I am in charge of creating the workflow and submitting the vendor create process
thanks in advance for the help

Hi Anil
Take a look at the Workflow collateral located on http://otn.oracle.com/products/integration/content.html.
I'd also suggest looking at the Sample Workflow Processes included with Oracle Workflow.
There are also some on demand Oracle iLearning courses (ilearning.oracle.com) which should be very useful for you.
Cheers

Hi,
Could anyone give me a case study describing how to create a new process using workflow builder? Where are the notifications saved in the database? Where is the process saved? Give me a general flow of events in the creation of, say a document management process wherein all these details are specified. A document containing the whole flow involved in the creation of a process using workflow builder. What all PL/SQL procedures I need to write and all. I have both workflow server and builder installed.
This would be of immense help.

Anil

Process Using too much Processor

Hi all !
I have a real wierd request.
I have a process which runs for about a hour converting files. The process only between 10 and 15MB of memory which is fine. The problem is that the process uses basically all the processing power available on the server. My administrator is worried that if another process is started whie mine is running it will not receive a share of the processor . Even though I have told him (and showed him) that the java app releases some of the processor when another program requests it.
Is there anyway of specifying the percentage of processor a java app uses ? For example I would like to tell the app to only use 50% of the available processor !
Robin

How computationally intensive is the conversion? Are they small files that require sophisticated processing? Or are they large files that are processed in a simple way?
I'm asking because it's very unusual for a process that does significant I/O to peg the CPU. The fact that it does may point to a bug in the code.

PR/PO release process

Need help SAP gurus!!! =)
Our company has many approvers, so I maintained the appropriate release codes and strategies for the PR/PO release process. Now, they will have to release it using ME55. In the transaction, you will input the appropriate release code specific of the approving user.
What I want to happen is, Once the approver will use the ME55 transaction its release code will automatically appear and it can not be change. How can I solve this? I tried creating a Transaction Variant, but still my problem can't be solved. PLS help! Many Thanks! =)
Mik

Hi Buddy,
Option 1:
In ME55 screen, enter the Release code and go to SYSTEM-User Profile-HOLD DATA.
Once done acknowledgemetn message prompt as "Data was held"
Try to execute for first time then go out to the screen try again to execute the ME55 you will see that the relecode is defualted.
Option 2:
In ME55, enter the release code and SAVE as variant. Once done try to execute for first time. Then go out to that screen.
DO again ME55, rel code will be defaulted also.
Hope this solves your issue.
regards,
Maia

Reprocessing of Production order/Process order

Hi friends,
Can anybody explain me what is reprocessing of production order.
Plz explain me in a step by step manner.
Thanks very much.
Kind Regards

Hi Arun Kumar,
Reprocessing
Use
In the area of confirmation, you can separate confirmation entry from processing. As a result, errors may occur when confirmations, or the processes that follow them, are posted. You can eliminate these errors by reprocessing them. The following reprocessing functions are available:
Confirmations
Actual costs
Goods movements
Reprocessing Confirmations :
Use
You use this function to process confirmations for which errors occurred as they were being automatically processed. With this function, you can either delete or, if possible, eliminate the errors and post the confirmations again.
Confirmations with errors can arise if they were entered in one of the following ways:
Upload from a PDC system (see Upload)
Online entry ( Fast Entry or Mass Processing)
Entry via BAPI interface
Possible errors include:
Order does not exist (for entry via PDC system, BAPI interface)
Order was locked
Sequence of time events incorrect
Individual capacity does not exist
Work center or personnel number does not exist
Features
Reprocessing has the following advantages:
Selection
On the initial screen, you can enter your selection criteria for selecting the confirmations that you want to reprocess. Possible selection criteria are: Production order, plant, confirmation, WBS element, sales order, MRP controller, work center, created by, created on.
Navigation
The screen for reprocessing confirmations is split into two areas:
Overview list of the confirmations
Detail screen for the selected confirmation
In the standard setting, the overview list is on the left and the detail display of the confirmation is on the right. To change the position of the overview list, choose (move the list in an anti-clockwise direction, select the position of the overview list). This last setting is saved for the particular user who created it and is used again the next time the function is called up.
Reprocessing
The confirmation that you have chosen from the overview (cursor position) is displayed in the detail screen. In the detail screen, you can remove the error in the confirmation.
The following confirmations can be reprocessed:
Order confirmation
Operation confirmation
Time event confirmation
Activity confirmation
The layout of the detail screen is determined by the confirmation that you are currently processing. The layout can be set up flexibly for an operation confirmation (see Single Screen Entry).
Display error
To display a long text about the error for each confirmation, position the cursor on the confirmation and choose .
Check confirmation
You can check one or more confirmations. To check confirmations, select them and choose . In the Status field on the overview list, the result of the check is displayed with a symbol.
Delete confirmation
If a confirmation is not to be posted because, for example, it has entered the SAP System by mistake, you can delete it. To do this, select the confirmation and choose . The confirmation is flagged for deletion and is deleted when you save.
Delete a line
To delete confirmations from the overview that you do not want to process at the moment, choose . The confirmation is, however, retained for reprocessing at a later stage.
2.Cost Determination Error Processing
Use
You use this function to gather information about errors in cost determination and if necessary to repeat it.
If errors occurred when determining actual costs online, you can decide whether or not the confirmation and the error records are saved. If you are using Decoupling Confirmation Processes, the errors are recorded during the execution of the background job or during updating.
Features
This function includes:
An error log which displays the cost determination errors in detail
Errors are, for example: missing activity prices, invalid cost centers or incorrect assignment of an activity type to a cost center.
Rerunning cost determination
Starting a New Costing Run
       1.      Choose either
¡        Production orders: Logistics ® Production ® Shop Floor Control ® Confirmation ® Reprocessing ® Actual Costs
¡        Process orders: Logistics ® Production u2013 Process ® Process Order ® Confirmation ® Recalculate Actual Costs
       2.      Enter your selection criteria.
       3.      Choose (Execute).
       4.      Select the confirmation in question and choose (Error Log).
Analyze the errors.
       5.      If necessary remove the errors.
To remove the errors, you have to exit the reprocessing function.
       6.      Choose Production ® Shop Floor Control ® Confirmation ® Reprocessing ® Actual Costs or Production u2013 Process ® Process Order ® Confirmation ® Recalculate Actual Costs or open a new session.
       7.      Enter selection criteria for the confirmations for which you want to restart the actual cost calculation.
       8.      Choose (Execute).
       9.      Select the confirmation and choose (Save).
Failed Goods Movements Processing :
Use
This function allows you to process goods movements that failed when posting confirmations. After correcting any errors that occurred, you can then post the goods movements a second time.
Features
This function includes:
Detailed display of errors
Errors can be caused by insufficient information such as missing storage locations or missing batch numbers. Errors can also include locked material data, insufficient stock, or attempts to post goods movements in the wrong accounting period.
Opportunity to correct failed goods movements
Option of posting goods movements a second time
Reprocessing Goods Movements
       1.      Choose either
¡        Production orders: Logistics ® Production ® Shop Floor Control ® Confirmation ® Reprocessing ® Goods Movements
¡        Process orders: Logistics ® Production - Process ® Process Order ® Environment ® Material Movement ® Failed Goods Movements.
       2.      Enter your selection criteria:
       3.      Choose (Execute).
       4.      Select the goods movement that you want to reprocess.
       5.      Choose (Display Errors) to display the errors that have arisen, in detail. To leave the message, choose (Continue).
       6.      Select the required goods movements and make the necessary changes (for example, Edit ® Replace ® Storage location).
For example, you can delete incorrect goods movements.
When incorrect goods movements are deleted, the system does not carry out an automatic adjustment of reservations.
       7.      Choose (Save) to restart the execution of goods movements.
When you are reprocessing the goods movements for the confirmation, you can go to the goods movements overview. Choose Change Details, to change the goods movements.
Hope this details is enough for clearing your doubt.
Revert if any doubt and reward if useful.
