Re: On refresh of ebs DB is it necessary to run adclonectx.pl

Hi ,
On refresh of ebs DB is it necessary to run adclonectx.pl again for the 2nd node with add node option or can I simply reuse the contextfile from the first time it was cloned providing nothing has changed?
It simple terms does adclonectx.pl addnode do anything more than cloning the contextfile provided?
I have included a successfull run of adclonectx.pl when used with the addnode option for example .
Regards .

It simple terms does adclonectx.pl addnode do anything more than cloning the contextfile provided?No.

Oracle eBS clone : only database refresh

Hi,
Someone last week around asked me regardings steps I will follow wrt database refresh in eBS.
My answer was ( considering a cold backup)
1) Restore the datafiles,redo logs to the target env adn run adcfgclone dbtier contextfile=< context file location for RDBMS>
This will work if the mount point naming convention is exactly the same as on target.
2) Run autoconfig.
My queries here are:
1) Do I need to do something regarding Apps side, ( running autoconfig , or adcfgclone etc )?
2)Was there any need for running autoconfig specially if I have given the contextfile location in step 1?
Thx,
Romit

2)Was there any need for running autoconfig specially if I have given the contextfile location in step 1?Yes, you need to run AutoConfig to populate FND_NODES with the application nodes information. You may also need to clear the FND_NODES table as described in the following note:

Incremental Loads and Refresh Date

Hi all,
Thank you for taking the time to review this post.
Environment
Oracle BI Applications 7.9.6 (Financial & Project Analytics)
Oracle E-Business Suite 11.5.10
Question
I have a Test BI Apps 7.9.6 in a Test environment that is connected to a static EBS 11.5.10 data source. As part of my testing phase I'd like to do multiple Incremental Loads to get an accurate performance impact and timing study for the final pre-approval before migrating to Production. I can get a refresh of EBS which has a week's worth of transactions after my Initial Full Load. What I'd like to do is change Refresh Dates to "trick" the Incremental Load into only loading one days worth of data at a time, rather than the full week's worth of data in the Incremental load. Is this possible, and if so, how?
Example timeline:
Today - Initial Full load using Test EBS as of today
1 week later - Refresh static Test EBS from Production with a week of transactions
Post Refresh - Run daily Incremental jobs using static Test EBS
First Incremental Load - Today's position + 1 day,
Second " " - Today's position + 2 days,
Third " " - Today's position + 3 days, etc
As always all comments and solutions greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Gary.

Say on the 01st of the month, you did a Load.
Then on the 08th of the month, the source EBS system was itself refreshed.
What you want to do is to run a single day refresh on the 08th for all data from the 01st to the 02nd of the month), and then another single day referesh -- whether on the 08th or on the 09th , you don't care -- for all data from the 03rd to the 04th.
Unfortunately, the refresh is from last refresh date to current date. You can't define "refresh upto date". Therefore, your first 'incremental' refresh on the 08th would refresh all data from the 02nd to the 08th in one shot. What you could try to do is
a. After the first load on the 01st, shutdown the BI DWH.
b. When the EBS test source is refresh on the 08th, reset your SYSTEM CLOCK ON THE BI DWH DATABASE SERVER to the 2nd (or 3rd) of the month.
c. Now, when you run a refresh, BI will extract all data from the 01st to the 02nd or 03rd (even though EBS is as of the 08th).
d. Once this is done, shutdown BI DWH.
e. Reet the SYSTEM CLOCK ON THE BI DWH DATABASE SERVER to the 3rd or 4th of the month.
f. Run another Incremental Refresh.
... and so on ...

Check if refreshing data in pivot table was finished

Hello guys,
This is my first post here so forgive if I'm asking in wrong place.
Maybe you can help me or give me some hint how can I check if data in pivot tables refresh event was finished.
So I'm using excel plugin that allows to load excel spread sheets from external source e.g application server,
in this reports there are define some pivot tables with olap connections. When report is opened data is automatically refreshed,
what I'm trying to do is somehow check if this refresh was finished and start manipulating data in c# but I'm not able to check
if refresh was finished or it's still going.
I found that query table has refreshing flag which indicates if some query is running. But I'm not able to get to querytable object or to listobjects object, I'm using excel 2013 and only when I added sql database connection to sheet there was value
in listobject object but still querytable was empty,
What I'm doing wrong ?
public void refrestTest()
Excel.Sheets test= excelApp.ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets;
foreach (Excel.Worksheet displayWorksheet in test)
if (displayWorksheet.ListObjects.Count > 0)
var pp1 = displayWorksheet.ListObjects.get_Item(1).QueryTable.Refreshing;

Scratch 22: Creating XML Publisher report from scratch in eBS

Problem:
How to build a XML Publisher (XMLP) report in eBS from scratch. Thus NOT adapting or converting an existing report.
Context:
I have an eBS R12 Vision instance up and running where I want to learn building XMLP reports.
This is what all tutorials I can find tell me to do:
Most reports apparently consist of a layout template e.g. TEST.rtf and a data template e.g. TEST.xml. Now in order to generate a new report layout I am supposed to take existing output in XML format and (using ‘Load Data’ function in Template Builder plugin in Word) specify in my layout template where and how I want the actual data to pop up. So far so good.
But now I want to build the data template from scratch and use it combined with a layout template. So I build the data template but can’t use that for building the layout template. For that I need output, for which I need a layout template.....
Sounds like Catch 22 to me. How do I break this?
1. Can I generate an XML-output file from the XML Data Template alone?
2. Can I build my (RTF) layout template directly based upon the XML Data Template?
3. Or have I completely lost the plot?
Oh yes, dunno the first thing about Java and do not have My Oracle Support..

1. Can I generate an XML-output file from the XML Data Template alone?
create data definition with your data template-> create concurrent -> output as xml -> run -> view output and your xml
I thought the XDODTEXE engine would pick up the (Layout) Template through concurrent program definition CPD short name which in turn points to the Data Definition (and thus Data Template). So does your answer mean I can call straight from CPD to Data Definition? I tried registering my Data Template in the Template Tab but it will not take XML as a type.2. Can I build my (RTF) layout template directly based upon the XML Data Template?
if you want to use xml publisher desktop then you need xml (with data, not definition)
So that's not an option I understand. Weird cuz I'd expect this to be technically easier.btw you can create your layout (rtf) without xml (data) and without data template (xml with select statement)
create filed and past tag definition
Yes but in that case I'd have an empty report. How would that help me?bouble click on filed:
"Text Form Field Options" -> "Add Help Text ..." -> "Status Bar" (tab) -> "Type your own:"
if you use bi publisher desktop plugin
bouble click on filed:
"BI Publisher Properties" -> "Advanced" -> "Code"
or switch to Word Properties
"BI Publisher Properties" -> "Word Properties" and use above path
3. Or have I completely lost the plot?
may be ;)

How to refresh value in selection screen field

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement to refresh the value in selection screen.while i run the report in selection screen i selecting one variant for look the output if i use some other field value with same variant without save its working fine i am avle to see the data but while i come back to again selection screen and selecting some other variant that extra add value is not getting refresh its showing with new variant.Its happening for only one variant not for all if i select some other variant then its getting refresh value in same field.Any one can help me for this issue.
Thanks.

Hi,
That means, I believe - the value that is "not changing" is saved in the particular variant. You can easily verify it by starting the report without variant and then selecting the variant in question. Remove the value from screen and save the variant again. Don't forget to check of variant needs to be transported from development system...

Webi report gives old data in infoview on refresh

Hi Experts,
We are facing this strange issue on a webi report after some data updation in the SAP BW infocube.
The webi report is based on the universe which is connected to an infocube in our BW dev system. After some data updation in the cube, we had tested the report in webi rich client and everything was working fine (the newly updated data from cube was reflecting). Now, we had tested the same report in infoview, but it was showing the old data only. We had tried exporting the report once again to infoview, refreshed universe structure; but without any success.
What appeared to be even more strange was that the last refresh time was also not changing. While running the report in the infoview it hardly takes 40secs. But on refreshing it says the last refresh time was 5mins.
Any help on this would be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Arun.

it sounds like when you refresh report in Infoview you get the cached data, it never goes to the DB to fetch new one...
You'll need to enable traces on webi processing server as well as SOFA/MDX tracing and review log files to see if requests are going to db or not and what is being returned.
It could be at webi proc level or at your BW level.
You can also try disabling webi caching in webi proc server properties and see what happens.

How to refresh the current page when retrieving data from database

hi all
in my application i want to navigate from different tables to different forms. The data in the table and in the forms is comming fromthe database. when i select a navigation link to database of a form it is connecting to database. so im manually refreshing the refresh button of I.E. which is big headache. so is there any way to refresh my current table or form dynamically at run time to retrieve from database
Thanks and regards
khaja

Hi,
Refreshing a connection to Database means re establishing your connection each time.It will be load for the DB to load the data every time generally not advisable to do.
Inorder to get the value from the DB you have load the driver and connect it using fireplug with the view for navigations.
for the same refer this link.

Error (IES10901) (WIS 10901) while refreshing the Webi report

Hi Gurus,
We have created webi reports using Universe design tool on top of BEX Query based on 0SD_C03 cube and now we are facing Database error: A runtime exception has occured. (Error loading cube 0sd_c03 (catalog : % 3). (IES 10901 ) (WIS 10901) while trying to refresh the Webi report from Data Access--> Edit--> Run Query while its running fine when I refresh the report using refresh button option in Webi.
When I run the the query in rsrt its working absolutely fine.
Note that we are using BOBJ 4.0 SP7 and this issue has come recently.
Any idea or help on this would be appreciated.
Regards,
Monil

Hello Monali,
are you getting this error constantly or sometimes?
what type of connection are you using for your Webi report
Is it Specified user name/password OLAP connection or SSO Olap connection
If your are using Specified user name/password OLAP then try with SSO connection because SAp recommendation is not to use Specified user name/password OLAP connections..to resolve this kind of issues please restart DSL bridge..

Safari reader can no longer avoid trying to refresh

I used to be able to take a webpage "to go" on my iPod touch. That is I would navigate Safari to something that I wanted to read later, hit the reader, and a reader version of the document would load, sort of larger text version of the content with most of the graphics stripped out. I could then hit the home button and still use the other functions of iPod outside of Safari (music player, etc) and later on I could bring Safari back up and read the document, the reader content would be retained. Here is the part that is no longer working: I could bring the reader content back even if I didn't have access to a live internet connection at the time, a very convenient feature. Now, reader wants to refresh which wipes out the document I loaded in the absense of an internet connection. To put it another way, reader no longer functions in a disconnected mode due to refreshing upon opening. I don't know if this problem necessarily maps to iOS versions, but I do know that reader didn't do this auto-refresh in iOS 5 and I'm now running 6.
Questions:
1. Is there a setting that I can change to turn off the auto-refresh?
2. If no, can this be suggested as feature (configurable auto-refresh) as a possible improvement to reader?

Issue in Complete Refresh of a Materialized View

Hello,
We have an MV in the Datawarehouse that does a FAST REFRESH daily. Every Saturday, a COMPLETE REFRESH is done as part of the normal Database Activities. The Database is Oracle 9i. The MV contains a Join between a Dimension and Fact Table of a Datawarehouse and does a FAST REFRESH using the MV logs.
However, last Sat, the COMPLETE REFRESH has failed. The DBA tried to run the script twice again but it failed on both occasions with an UNDO TABLESPACE error (ORA-30036). The DBA tried to extend the Tablespace; it did not help either.
- Could this be linked to Tablespace allocations for the MV? Are there any specific steps that can be followed to resolve this?
- Can the MV be dropped and re-created?
Would appreciate a response on the same.
Many Thanks,
Ketan

Hi Ketan,
I guess this is probably because MV complete refresh performs "delete" from the MV and then insert. If the MV is large, it may fail on undo allocation.
Please take a look at Re: materialized view refresh time! Plz Help me! you can see the explanation, metalink note and the solution (how to perform truncate instead of delete).

Customer Statement Report in ebs 12 - bursting error prior to xml complete

Hello There,
We are using the standard non-modified (as far as i am aware) Statement Generation Program from the AR Print Documents/Statements menu in EBS 12.
When the report runs for just a few statements it completes through to bursting with no issues.. However when we run the end of month statements (620 pages of them) the xml bursting appears to start before the xml has completed. The bursting program is called from the after report trigger as per Oracles specifications.
It errors with the following:
null output =/u01/oracle/PROD/inst/apps/PROD/logs/appl/conc/out/o1025630.out
File /u01/oracle/PROD/inst/apps/PROD/logs/appl/conc/out/o1025627.out is not accessable from node/machine
The error is quite correct as the xml file is still being written at the point the bursting starts. The statement generation concurrent job takes 7 mins to complete and the bursting concurrent job kicks off 2 mins after the statement generation has started about 5 minutes too early!!
Has anyone else had this issue? Any help would be appreciated..
Cheers

interseting question??
why I should not be able to convert a seeded form if I want??
In this case I think it makes sense: in our site we use this report quite offten and users want the ability to search and filter the results on the fly instead of running the report over and over again.
I am not trying to replace the seeded report but simply provide added functionality to our users.

Query against materialized view awful after refresh of Mview

We have a materialized view defined to refresh complete daily at 5am. YOu can run queries against the MV alone or joining it to other tables. Results come back in 2 or 3 seconds. Once the MView refreshes at 5am - those same queries now take 15 minutes or even more sometimes to complete. WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?? Help anyone?
