    Hi,
    I have tried it, by inserting it before the form compilation code the echo command works , but then while compilation it gives me an error as file not found . This file XXIB_I10_BA_BALEVEL.fmb is existing in the given path . Is it a problem with the userid being given so. As i am able to compile the file individually(During individual compilation i have hard coded the username and password), not through a installlation file . Have even checked the FORMS_PATH even thats right .
    Command used in installation file :
    # +======================================================================+
    echo "------------------------------- " | tee -a $LOG_FILE
    echo "Generating Forms in English ... " | tee -a $LOG_FILE
    echo "------------------------------- \n" | tee -a $LOG_FILE

  • After R12 Upgrade: No records in many of the tables.

    Hi all,
    After R12 upgrade, we found there are no records in many tables. For example AR_BATCHES_V.
    What could be the probable causes?
    Also, note that there are still some concurrent requests running.
    DQM Parallel Sync Index Child Program2 (DQM Parallel Sync Index Child Program)

    S. Sundar

    Hi,
    I'm a bit late to the party in this thread, but:
    Are most of the unpopulated tables related to Financials? With the introduction of E-Business Tax (ZX) and Sub-Ledger Accounting in R12, some data seems to have been moved to other tables and schemas. For example, we had some reports that needed to be rewritten for R12 because some Receivables tables and views were empty after the upgrade. I don't get into the functional side of things very often, so I don't know if AR is similarly affected.
    Sorry I don't have much detail to offer, but maybe this will give you a starting point for further research.
    Regards,

  • R12 Upgrade: ra_territories, ar_location_rates, ar_location_values table Absoluted and if yes then what are the replacement tables?

    Hi,
    We are in the R12 Upgrade process and having doubt in ra_territories, ar_location_rates, ar_location_values tables.
    Please clarify are they got absolutes or we have replacement tables for these?
    Regards,
    Uday

    Hi,
    I see you are confused between using ra_interface_lines_all and API. The AR Invoice can be created in two method.
    1. Using Autoinvoice interface a open interface program. For this you need to populate ra_interface_lines_all and ra_interface_distributions_all (if you are not using auto accounting) interface tables and then submit the Autoinvoice Master program, a interface program to load the AR invoices. Once the program completes, the errors will be stored in ra_interface_errors_all table.
    2. Second method is to use the API. If you are using API, no interface table will be used to and errors will not be stored in interface tables. You can use the following routine to get the errors.
    IF l_return_status != 'S' THEN
    dbms_output.put_line('unexpected errors found!');
    IF p_msg_count = 1 Then
    dbms_output.put_line('l_msg_data '||l_msg_data);
    ELSIF l_msg_count > 1 Then
    LOOP
    p_count := p_count+1;
    p_msg_data := FND_MSG_PUB.Get(FND_MSG_PUB.G_NEXT,FND_API.G_FALSE);
    IF p_msg_data is NULL Then
    EXIT;
    END IF;
    dbms_output.put_line('Message' || p_count ||'.'||l_msg_data);
    END LOOP;

  • Can I retain my concurrent program schedule During R12 Upgrade ?

    Hi,
    We are approaching Oracle R12 Upgrade go live. We have large number of concurrent programs scheduled by various users. We are planning to put these programs on hold before upgrade. When we upgrade, do upgrade driver removes all schedules from concurrent program schedules? Is it wise to cancel all scheduled programs and reschedule them after upgrade?
    Please help!
    Best Regards,
    Dhaval Khamar

    When we upgrade, do upgrade driver removes all schedules from concurrent program schedules? No.
    Is it wise to cancel all scheduled programs and reschedule them after upgrade?No, just put them on hold before the upgrade then resume those jobs after the upgrade.
    Thanks,
    Hussein

  • Forms Personalization not working after R12 upgrade

    Hi,
    We have recently upgraded to R12. We have forms personalizations on the People, Enter and Maintain form and this is not working now after the R12 upgrade.
    I went to one of the form personalizations and Validated and Applied again but it still did not work. I also created a new one but had no success with that either.
    Any ideas how to get this working again ? Is there something extra that needs to be done for R12?
    Thanks
    Regards,
    Shalantha

    Pl indicate which version of R12 and on what form you had the personalization in the previous version. Have you checked FND_FORM_CUSTOM_% tables to ensure that the personalization survived the upgrade ?

  • Oracle R12 Upgrade - Estimated Downtime

    We are midsize company upgrading from Oracle Financials R11i (11.5.9) to R12. Our consulting vendor performing the upgrade has estimated 8 days to complete the upgrade. Our DB size is less than 150gb and we have a very vanilla environment (only 14 CEMLI's).
    Having managed extremely complex SAP upgrades in the past, cutting over during long weekends and thus maximum downtimes of 72hrs I am blown away by an estimated 8 days of downtime in this case.
    Does anyone have any experience with this type of upgrade and the expected downtime windows to be incurred by the business?

    Hi,
    8 calendar days of downtime seems an excessive estimate for the what you've described, though of course there are a lot of factors that influence this. You'll have a much better idea of what to expect once you've performed a dry run (or five :-) ) on a test system. Has the consulting vendor offered any sort of justification for the estimate? That is, are they pointing to anything in your environment that makes this upgrade particularly long? What sort of hardware are you using? Are you migrating to a new platform during this upgrade? Does all of the work they're estimating for truly need to be done during the outage window, or is there some that can be done before or after? What does their estimate look like if you only convert some Financials data during the upgrade, and do the rest post-upgrade?
    I can only offer the following data point, though I suspect that there are others on this forum with more varied R12 upgrade experience:
    Our upgrade (11.5.10.2->12.0.3) was for a system with a similar data footprint (slightly smaller, in fact), and similarly vanilla environment (customizations limited to reports). We were running on mid-range hardware (two-node system, 2-CPU db server, single-CPU app server). We started our upgrade on a Friday at 6 PM, and finished sometime late the following Sunday evening...less than 72 hours. Granted, this is not an apples-to-apples comparison: you're starting at 11.5.9, not 11.5.10.2. Then again, I assume you'll also be going directly to 12.0.4. We had to add time to our upgrade to apply the 12.0->12.0.3 upgrade driver.
    If we were discussing this over a beer, I'd be tempted to claim there's some [Scotty Factor|http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?ScottyFactor|Beam me up!] going on here. Since this is a public forum, however, I would never be so woefully unprofessional, and merely suggest that you request clarification from your vendor on the justification for their estimate. :-)

  • During R12 upgrade adworker for patch u6678700.drv fails for afopp002.sql

    Hi Experts,
    During R12.1.1 upgrade from 11.5.10.2 adworker for patch u6678700.drv fails for afopp002.sql
    The exact error being faced is
    sqlplus -s APPS/***** @/u03/oracle/CRP1PROD/apps/apps_st/appl/fnd/12.0.0/patch/115/sql/afopp002.sql &un_fnd &pw_fnd
    Connected.
    declare
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-20000: Oracle Error Mkr1= -24018 - ORA-24018: STOP_QUEUE on
    APPLSYS.FND_CP_GSM_OPP_AQ failed, outstanding transactions found
    ORA-06512: at line 15
    I even tried restarting the worker,bounced the database and even tried running u03/oracle/CRP1PROD/apps/apps_st/appl/fnd/12.0.0/patch/115/sql/afopp002.sql manually which hangs for indefinitely.
    Any suggestion.

    Hi Srini,
    Let me walk you through briefly regarding the upgrade process:
    Initially the existing instance was 11.5.10.2 with 9.2.0.6 database.Last year the database was upgraded to 11.2.0.1 and configured with 11.5.10.2
    However the 11g database upgrade steps specifically for EBS 11i(interoperatibility notes for 11i with 11g database) was not followed properly.
    And one of the major key issue identified was the 11g Example CD was not installed on top of 11g software during database upgrade.Which is the pre-req for 11g upgrade in EBS
    And as per my experience it creates issues during R12 upgrade (patch u6678700) and giving errors pertaining to oracle text error.
    SR was raised for the same and was suggested, since there is no other option kindly install the Oracle 11g software and on top of that 11g Example CD and map the 11g database and go ahead with the R12 upgrade.
    Now coming back to the core issue being faced, Pre-req followed properly.No errors in alert logs.
    Can missing the Example CD installtion be the issue?

  • 11i to R12 upgrade

    Hi,
    I am doing test upgrade 11.5.10.2 to 12.1.1
    I am following R12 upgrade guide and 1211 install guide. I finished rapid install step "Creating the Upgrade File System". Now my next step is to perform upgrade (apply upgrade drivers).
    It is not clear in the documents and patch readme if I need to apply patches to 11i APPL_TOP or newly created R12 file system. Can somebody help me?
    Thanks.

    Which document says I need to apply only database driver? So far I have reviewed upgrade guide Part No. E14010-01.In the Same upgrade guide part NO:E14010-01 check the page no:73 it given as follows:
    Under Section 3 "Upgrading to Release 12.1.1"
    10. Run the American English upgrade patch driver (required)
    Applies to 11i release level: All
    TUMS step key: N/A
    To bring your database to the full Oracle Applications Release 12.1.1 level, use AutoPatch to run the (American English) unified driver (u6678700.drv). It is located in $AU_TOP/patch/115/driver.
    Run the driver on the administration server node on your Release 12.1.1 APPL_TOP
    using the following commands:
    $ adpatch options=nocopyportion,nogenerateportion
    Do I need to start database in new R12 file system.Yes. All the steps mentioned under Section 3.9 onwards need to perform in the new 12.1 Oracle _home

    It looks as though its failing in your beforereport trigger.

    MSG-00099: No reporting entity setup found.
    REP-1419: 'beforereport': PL/SQL program aborted.I dont believe payment batches are used anymore as they need to be done via Payment profiles and therefore you will need to use Payment Instruction ids instead. Also the setup at R12 is Mosaic
    try including this. as the first statement in the Beforereport trigger. All the banks tables payment tables has changed so unless you have changed these to you will need to adjust these correctly to the R12 tables.
