Repeat form customization on various Business Groups

Hi,
I would like to know if there is a quick way to repeat form customization on various Business Groups.
I mean, i have done form customization on one Business group and need to do repeat similar form customization on various other Business Groups. I was wondering if there is any quick way to accomplish this other than doing it manually for each business group.
Any help on this will be appreciated.
Thank you,
Raghu

Hi Raghu
You can try downloading your personalization via FND LOAD
and change alter the business group in the files and load them back.
FNDLOAD apps/$APPS_PWD 0 Y DOWNLOAD $FND_TOP/patch/115/import/affrmcus.lct
and alter the ldt file for the business group.

Changing Owner & Business Group of ASD Custom Resource

So this is a bit of an expansion of this discussion: https://communities.vmware.com/thread/500669?start=0&tstart=0
You will see that pizzle85 managed to solve his challenge of BG object ownership by using an ASD Service Catalog Request located in each Business Group's Entitlements so a member of the business group can just run the Provision required to bring the BG item under management in the business group. This is quite an effective method to solve the need. He then has a Resource Action that allows for re-"Provision" which changes owner within the business group: a necessary task because managers tend to move around a lot so they can look busy. (just kidding, I love managers--who have a sense of humor) So to change owner... just perform a "provision" again.
Apparently this is one of the best kept secrets in vRA because it has been hard to figure out, and nobody is writing about it. (I can only assume that there is some SE out there who has worked with the developers to get this capability going and it hasn't been shared widely.)
Note: I think Business Groups as a Service is something I need to plan for (vs centrally managed Business Groups) even though their future implementation might vary, so my examples here are related to that effort because I am too lazy to demonstrate a generic example. BUT... the idea is... ownership of ASD Inventory Objects (representing ANY Custom Resource) can be modified using this method. Ownership includes both the owner represented by "ME" in the Items list... and the Business Group (subtenant Reference & Label) where the item resides in inventory.
In 6.2.x, I have not found any method in the vRO plugin for vRA to be able to change ownership and business group of an ASD Custom Resource Inventory Item, but it can be accomplished via a combination of (1) ASD Service Catalog or Resource Action "Provision" capabilities and (2) REST calls through the vRA plugin service channels. (the latter uses the plugin service account authorizations/entitlements)
Consider this image...
This could represent a central management point for many business groups: where I can assign a set of resource actions allowing for automation of various business group needs, an anchor point for actions. Those in the sktest business group Support User or Manager Role would be able to see all the business groups globally if they were all provisioned in sktest. (a bucket to manage from)
This also could represent a starting point where business groups are created as real objects, returned as custom resources, and "provisioned" as inventory object items. But once there...maybe you want to move it?
Let's say we later decided, seantesting doesn't belong in sktest because we wanted to change from the "we manage it for you" model to the "manage it yourself" model. How do you move it?
Like this...
And it moves now owned by the vRA plugin service account... (which an entitled user could run Take Ownership and own it in that business group)
The service account obviously needs to be part of the destination business group and as it ends up, has to have an entitlement to any "provision" action in the business group even though the object doesn't exist there.
This is a tricky hack and this is how it works...
1. vRO workflow calls the Take Ownership Action in vRA via REST (front door process). As noted before, this has a provision attribute to the action which we know changes the owner. So we would expect that the owner would change to the user that is making the request: which is the service account. The service account becomes the owner, but this wouldn't change the Business Group.
2. So we change subtentantRef and subtenantLabel in the REST call to the business group we want to target, even though the object isn't in inventory in that business group. And Voila! The business group item representation re-provisions as a new owner in a new business group. Effectively changing the owner and moving the object from one BG to another BG using the management-method vs the self-service-method (the latter as pizzle85 did).
Again... maybe you care less about Business Groups. Maybe you would prefer self-service. It is the capability of moving a custom resource inventory representation that matters.
Here is an example of the REST call to run the "Take Ownership" action. I have a script before this that pulls in all the variables for the "Resource" I am targeting (from the BusinessGroup object ID), the action I am running (Take Ownership ID), the business group Ref and Label) and some of the properties I need for the Take Ownership action like bgName... but those are actually not necessary. (all of the "entries" are what is required per the Take Ownership request... if that request didn't require any inputs, there would be no entries... it is the top change of subtenant that allows for the BG move)
System.log("resourceRef: " + resourceRef);
System.log("resourceActionRef: " + resourceActionRef);
System.log("targetRef: " + targetRef);
System.log("targetLabel: " + targetLabel);
System.log("bgName: " + bgName);
var payload ={
"@type":"ResourceActionRequest",
"resourceRef":{"id":resourceRef},
"resourceActionRef":{"id":resourceActionRef},
"organization":{"tenantRef":"vsphere.local","tenantLabel":"vsphere.local","subtenantRef":targetRef,"subtenantLabel":targetLabel},
"state":"SUBMITTED",
"requestNumber":0,
"requestData":
{"entries":[
{"key": "provider-rYouSure","value":{"type":"boolean","value":"true"}},
{"key": "provider-bgName","value": {"type": "string","value":bgName}}]}
payload = System.getModule("org.dojotoolkit.dojo.json").serialize(payload);
System.log(payload);
Server.log(payload);
var catalogRest = cafeHost.createRestClient(vCACCAFEServicesEnum.CATALOG_SERVICE);
var response = catalogRest.post("consumer/requests",payload);
Best of luck in your Automation Efforts!

Turns out... it is likely not required as part of the request data.

Passing field data from a repeating subform to another repeating form

Hi all,
In my main form, I have a repeating subform which captures various customer demographics. It repeats up to 7 instances based on how many clients are associated to a particular account.
The form user clicks a button to add new instances then fills in the various fields.
What I have currently is another hidden subform which I need to then make visible, but I also need one new instance of that form, prefilled with selected fields, for each instance of the first subform.
I'm not sure how to go about doing this. Based on my searches, it appears I need some sort of script to resolve each node and associate it with the second subform instances but I'm really unclear how to do that.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated! TIA

Hi all,
I thought I found what I was looking for but still having problems getting it to work. Found this example on John Brinkman's blog...
var srcFields = Subform1.resolveNodes("$.#field[*]");
for (var i = 0; i < srcFields.length; i++) {
var fieldName = srcFields.item(i).name;
// if the same-named field exists in S2…
if (Subform2.nodes.namedItem(fieldName)) {
Subform2[fieldName].rawValue = srcFields.item(i).rawValue;
I created a simple form containing 2 flowed subforms, each with one text field (same name). I added a button to subform1 to add one instance of subform1 on each click. I placed the script above in the change event of the text field in subform1.
Nothing is happening at all in subform2. I can add my 3 instances, enter a name in the text field but nothing shows up in the text field of subform2.
Can anyone offer any suggestions? Very new to this stuff so I'm really at a standstill. TIA!

Multiple Cost Allocation Structures in Single Business Group

We are curently looking at solution design of creating multiple Cost
allocation flexfield in single business group environment.
Purpose :
Based on organization structure (18 companies) , the finance
consultants proposed multiple COA structures with different
valuesets , wherein values sets will be specific to the companies .
This was suggested inorder to aviod tedious job of defining
validations and post production support.
This has impact on payroll solution design wrt to cost allocation FF ,
where in we have to define multiple structures to map to Accounting
FFs.
Woudl like to check if oracle payroll supports this kind of setups.
Note :The implementation is for UAE localization.
Rgds/Lavanya

If Finance System has multiple COA structures with different valuesets , wherein values sets will be specific to the companies then they will seperating cosing on Various OU Level.
As my understanding, you have to create multiple Business Group as per multiple COA structures .

Supplier data across business groups

Our business group is currently using only Core HR and there are several contractors/contingent workers in the system. What is the best way to capture the supplier name? Right now, it is captured in some DFF but I want to use the supplier name field in the supplier tab of assignment form. There are other business groups in the same instance for different countries and they are using the purchasing module and have defined suppliers for their use which I am able to see in the list of values for supplier field in my business group.
I want to suggest our HR folks to start using the supplier field instead of capturing this information in some DFF. Will there be any negative implications of doing this? Is supplier data shared across business groups? If I define suppliers for our business group purposes, will the other business groups be able to see our values?
Please suggest.
Thanks
Jay

Hi Ranay,
Approvals using Position Hierarchy can be used across Business Group. But specific to purchasing module not 100% sure.

Multiple business group situation

Hi,
I am working on a project for a company having multiple BG.
HR manager, whose in formation resides in BG lets say BG1 wants to views the record of employees who are residing in another BG say BG2.
Can anyone provide step by step guidance in this regard that how this task can be achieved and what will be the steps in detail.
Regards
Majid

Hi Mohammed,
I think you already have another post with the same issue and I have already mentioned the steps to achieve the functionality. It is always recommended to have one post for one issue as it will help others too if they are facing the same issue, try out below steps to achive your requirement
1. Create a global security profile.
2. Assign this security profile to the HR manager resp for which you want to provide access of employee across BG
3. Set the profile option HR:Cross Business Group to Yes
4. Now using the HR manager resp navigate to People -> Maintain using templates -> Maintaining Employees -> Click on tourch option in toolbar to find an employee.
On search form there is a field called business group available, if a global security profile is assigned to the responsibility then the user can select any other business group and then search any employee as required.
Try this out and let me know if you face any issues.
Thanks,
Sanjay

Required Trigger To be Oracle Application Forms Customization and its order

Hi All,
I am new to oracle application forms customization.
Can you please answer following?
What are the triggers required to be overrided for forms customization in oracle appliocation?
What is the order of trigger event occurrs when forms comes up in Oracle application?
Thanks
Prashant

Hi Prashant,
There are a number of triggers in Oracle forms. They are basically 4 types
1. Form level
2. Block Level
3. Record Level
4. Item Level
Again there are subclassifications.
The firing sequence depends on your action. If you make a change in an item and save the item level triggers fire for the item you changed. Then the record level triggers fire. However if you are click in an item(you are technically navigating to the item) the record level(when new record instance-WNRI) fires and then the item level trigger(when-new-item-instance WNII) fires.
So it depends on the situation. Look in the forms tool help sections. The have some good discussions there.
Now to 'override' triggers. I am assuming you plan to extend oracle standard forms. The best way to do this is use the CUSTOM.pll. Oracle forms call this .pll in various triggers such as WNRI, WNII etc. You can add your logic here and it will take effect and will be upgrade safe. Nowadays they have forms personalization. Take a look at this also to determine the best way.
You may want to read the Application developers guide from metalink and they have a good discussion there on forms customization. It also talks about the CUSTOM.pll
The scope of forms is huge and you would be better of taking a
1. Forms course
2. quick look through the forms section of the developer's guide and understand the concepts
3. Honing on the customizations you want to do and start working on that specific component.
4. Look in Metalink which has a lot of info on forms and forms forums.
This is actually a Framework forum which deals with Web applications :-)

Cross Business Group employees PO Approval?!

Dear PO Experts,
I have situation some thing like this. I have 3 business groups called BG-A and BG-B
I have employees defined in BG-A as follows who are PO approvers(Who has authority to Approve PO)
John
Adam
Smith
I have employees defined in BG-B as follows, who makes PO.
Nancy
Maria
Now my question is?
Can John(BG-A) approve a PO made by Nancy(BG-B)? (note: these two employees are defined in Different BGs)
Please let me know your views.
At this point in time John, Adam and Smith names defined as employees in BG-B as well to fecilitate the approval process?
Note: we are using Approval Workflow.
Regards
SK

Hi,
Employees are restricted at Business Group level and not at Operating Unit level. So only employees belonging to the same business groups can be used to form an approval list.
So you cannot use employee from a different business group(A) to approve PO created by another employee from business group B.
Let me know if this clears your doubt.

Hiding some fields in the Business Group Info

Hi All
I want to hide the Minimum Working Age and Maximum Working Age from the Business Group Info while defining a new business group.
I tried form personalizations but not able to find the text item related to this neither I am able to find any attributes related to these items.
I tried to check the attributes of the DFF Additional Organization Information without any success.
What are fields assoicated with these items and how can i hide these items?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Regards
Rahman

You are not supposed to unfreeze and modify any of the segments here. You just need to get the column names where minimum and maximum working hours are stored. Get the column names from here and then go to the Organization screen. Here create a personalization and user these column names to hide the data by setting up their property 'CONCEAL_DATA' to be true.

Change Business Group

Hello all,
I need a solution and would like to share with yours.
Today, on a Company that I'm working, for each Organization inside the Group exist one "Business Group" (It's wrong).
The idea is change all records or create/change other roles/process to change all Business Group to only one.
Can anyone help me know any practical way to do this?
Tks,
Junio Vitor

I believe the same defaults from the profile option HR: Business Group. Please set this profile option to the business group which you want to use to the responsibility. Then go to that responsibility and open the form. Now you should be able to see the correct business group as defaulted.

In R12.1.3, MO:Security Profile Vs HR:Cross Business Group precedence

Hi All,
In R12.1.3, Which profile option has higher precedence in MOAC structure.
If i set the HR:Cross Business Group to NO at resp level and MO: Security Profile, which is associated to Global Security Profile which has two OUs of two different BGs.
For example:
I have BG1 - OU1
BG2 - OU2
Case 1:
Global Security Profile - XXGSP has both OU1(BG1) and OU2(BG2) associated.
HR:Cross Business Group - NO
HR:Cross Business Group - BG1
In Purchasing Responsibility, what could be the behavior when i create PO?. Will it show both OU1 and OU2? or OU1?
Case 2:
Global Security Profile - XXGSP has both OU1(BG1) and OU2(BG2) associated.
HR:Cross Business Group - Yes
HR:Cross Business Group - BG1
In Purchasing Responsibility, what could be the behavior when i create PO?. Will it show both OU1 and OU2? or OU1?
Case 3:
Global Security Profile - XXGSP has both OU1(BG1) associated.
HR:Cross Business Group - NO
HR:Cross Business Group - BG2
In Purchasing Responsibility, what could be the behavior when i create PO?. Will it show both OU1 and OU2? or OU1?
Case 4:
Global Security Profile - XXGSP has both OU1(BG2) associated.
HR:Cross Business Group - Yes
HR:Cross Business Group - BG1
In Purchasing Responsibility, what could be the behavior when i create PO?. Will it show both OU1 and OU2? or OU2?

Transfer Employee From one Business group to another

Hello,
As per my understanding we do have a functionality of transferring employee from one business group to another. Can any one tell me the exact steps for the same. It is there from 11.5.10 and the profile setting we have to set is HR: Propagate Data. Can anyone tell what from here I need to do for a transfer for employee between business group.
Thanks

hello Pdelapena,
Benefit tab is not available for all BG responsibility, like india is not having the benefit tab.
Secondly if i want to go for some Long range compensation say an employee has worked for 2 yrs then he is eligible. Now technically speaking the the transfer employee should be eligible for the same. But if we terminate him and then hire him back in the new BG only the thing that is same is Party_ID apart from that is nothing same. Can you please put some suggestions.
Eg: Person Hired on 10 Jul 2007 in US BG
Person Transferred to India BG on 20 Jul 2008
Now the company plans to give a compensation to all the employee who have been part of the company for 2 yrs or plus till 20 Jul 2009
Now this particular employee will not be pulled out in the eligibility criteria.
Can any one please pass there comments
Thanks

How to retrive only data related to specific business group efficiently?

We have sql queries which were written for an instance assuming that there will be only one Business Group. Now, we want to reuse those queries for another instance which is based on multi business groups.
I understand, using fnd_profile.value('PER_BUSINESS_GROUP_ID') this, we can join with BG ID in correspondingthe tables. I found below tables which are used in my query.
ota_delegate_bookings
ota_events_tl
ota_activity_versions
ota_activity_versions_tl
ota_activity_versions
ota_category_usages
ota_offerings
per_person_types
ota_booking_status_types
hr_locations
per_all_assignments_f
per_all_people_f
per_org_structure_elements
hr_all_organization_units
Now my question is, do we need to join this BG id for all these tables using the value from above profile?
For example, employees difined in system are specific to one BG. Even though when we use/join with person_id in per_all_people_f, we will get unique record. So still is there any need to join with this BG id ?
My concern is, in my query there are many places where I need to add this extra BG id condition, this may reduce performance of the query. I am not sure whether I have to change if id's are being used in the query.
It would be very helpful, if any one can share the best practices(technically) when working with multiple BG, LE, OU's etc..
