Hello,

Thanks

Sorry. I didn't see that my post to him was submitted...
Just in case here's the result from his site:
:P3_OUTPUT_STRING := regexp_replace(
:P3_INPUT_STRING
,’:([a-zA-Z0-9_]*)’
,’v(”\1”)’);

  • Replacing Oracle EBS FND Attachment functionality with UCM

    I am new to Oracle UCM and wondering about Replacing Oracle EBS FND Attachment functionality (Paper Clip in EBS forms) with UCM. Can we achieve this by simply defining the Attachment Repository using System Administrator Responsibility in EBS? Can you share some documentation on this?
    If we have to customize the forms to re-direct the document repository from FND to UCM, please share the steps to do so.

    Didn't see the link in your post. may have been stripped.
    if you want to use the ebs native attachment lists, what we've done is used a custom bpel composite to load items into the appropriate entity in the fnd_documents and all of those other related ebs tables. this takes webcenter out of it for the most part. you could also load links, similar to the imaging solution's approach. this way, again, uses the ebs attachments, but stores the image in IPM (in the imaging case, that is). there is a link loaded into the fnd tables.
    if you want to leverage the ebs-side attachment lists, managed attachments may not be the approach you want to take. You may want to look into the imaging solution or creating a custom process.

  • REPLACING ORACLE LOGO WITH MY LOGO

    REPLACING ORACLE LOGO WITH MY LOGO
    hi i tried to replace the oracle logo with my custom logo......but still tht logo is not appearinmg........i followed the steps mentioned in the following note in metalink......can u tell me wht went wrong.i have also attached my config settings in formsweb.cfg.
    You can either replace the Oracle logo with your custom logo, or just
    delete the Oracle logo. Both of these options are described below.
    Replacing the Oracle Logo with a Custom Logo
    ============================================
    Forms 6i(6.0.8.8 or above), has a new look when using the Oracle
    lookAndFeel parameter. An Oracle logo appears in the menu when you run
    the form on web. The logo is visible, even if you use a default menu
    or custom menu.
    Follow this procedure to that logo with your custom logo:
    1) Backup the following files:
    oracle_home/forms60/java/f60all.jar
    oracle_home/forms60/java/forms/icons/oracle_logo.gif
    2) Create your custom logo in gif format and rename it to oracle_logo.gif
    3) Copy your gif to the oracle_home/forms60/java/forms/icons directory.
    4) Open the f60all.jar in WinZip.
    5) Find a file called oracle_logo.gif in the archive and delete it.
    6) Create the following directory structure:
    c:\oracle\forms\icons
    7) Copy your custom logo(renamed to oracle_logo.gif) to:
    c:\oracle\forms\icons.
    8) In WinZip, choose Add a file, then select the oracle_logo.gif from:
    c:\oracle\forms\icons
    9) Add the file to the f60all.jar archive and close the jar file.
    10) Stop and restart your forms server.
    11) Clear the cache from your browsers.
    Now when you run the form on the web, your custom logo will appear in
    place of the Default Oracle logo.
    Removing the Oracle Logo from the Menu
    ======================================
    Use one of the following methods to remove the Oracle logo from the
    menu:
    -- If you do not need to use the "Oracle" lookAndFeel, use the
    "generic" lookAndFeel. When you use the generic look and feel, you
    do not see the Oracle logo in the menu. However, you do see the
    canvas in the windows default gray color. Also, the menu toolbar
    icons are gray.
    -- If you want to retain the Oracle look and feel but remove the
    Oracle logo only, add the following parameter in your html file,
    or add it in your URL:
    Logo="no"
    For example, in Netscape:
    lookAndFeel="Oracle"
    Logo="no"
    For example, in IE:
    <PARAM NAME="lookAndFeel" VALUE="Oracle">
    <PARAM NAME="Logo" VALUE="no">
    This suppresses the Oracle logo at runtime on the web.
    Solution Explanation
    ====================
    With the oracle lookAndFeel parameter, the Oracle logo is always
    inserted in the menu. You must remove the logo or add another logo
    with the same name if you want to replace the Oracle logo.

    hey,
    u can try making your own .jar with your icons inside and put it on the3 forms60/java directory.
    Include also the following line in cfg file:
    archive_jini = f90all_jinit.jar, [youriconsarchive].jar
    and maybe you should change imagebase to 'codebase' instead of documentbase.
    I have it like this and works ok. I can use every icon in my jar as logo or anything else..
    hope this helps

  • Error while replacing IF statements with DECODE function in procedure

    Hi All,
    I have created a procedure which has nested IF statements. Now I want to replace the IF statements with DECODE functions to improve performance.
    Procedure:
    IF (var_int_sev = '0')
    THEN
    var_sev := '2';
    ELSE
    SELECT sev
    INTO var_int_sev
    FROM errorconfig
    WHERE errorcode = var_errorcode;
    var_sev := var_int_sev;
    END IF;
    I converted the above IF statement into DECODE function as mentioned below:
    var_Sev := DECODE(var_int_sev,0,2,SELECT severity FROM errorconfig WHERE errorcode=var_ErrorCode)
    But it throws below error at the select statement used inside DECODE.
    Error(58,51): PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "SELECT" when expecting one of the following: ( - + case mod new not null others <an identifier> <a double-quoted delimited-identifier> <a bind variable> avg count current exists max min prior sql stddev sum variance execute forall merge time timestamp interval date <a string literal with character set specification> <a number> <a single-quoted SQL string> pipe <an alternatively-quoted string literal with character set specification> <an alternativ
    Can someone help me in converting the IF to DECODE in the above case. Also how can we use a select statement inside decode.

    instead of trying to rewrite all your code and hoping that the performance will be better, it's a better option to investigate and find out which part of your application is slow

  • Replacing Oracle DW with BW

    Hello guys,
    I need your expert advice on replacing Oracle data warehouse with BW.We have three cubes maintained in Oracle data warehouse and we are planning to implement BW warehouse and replcace Oracle.Could you please let me know from where should i start?.The Oracle is sourced from a non/R3 and BW should be sourced from R/3 as the client is implementing SAP.Should we bring the data from external source to R/3 before doing any thing?.Please guide me.Thank you.
    Raj.

    Hi Raj,
    Welcome to SDN!
    I don't think you have to bring all data into R/3 first.
    You need to create a source system and setup DB COnnect between Oracle and BW:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/58/54f9c1562d104c9465dabd816f3f24/content.htm
    choose relevant tables, generate datasources on them, replicate these DSs in BW, create the appropriate infoobjects and data targets, assign DS to infosource, create transfer rules, create update rules for data targets, create infopackages, and finally, load data.
    It's a rather long way to go.
    Best regards,

  • Replace Oracle Logo with client logo

    Oracle Forms wizard created a form with "Oracle" logo at the upper-right corner.
    How do I replace the "Oracle" logo with another logo?

    create your own menu in forms, save it as lety say MYMENU.mmb, generate it and then assign MYMENU in the menu-property of your form-module (the mmx-file of the menu must be in your forms-path)

  • Replacing Oracle Names with OID?

    Hi All
    We have our systems using Oracle Names for db connections. these are on 9.2.0.4 and we plan to move to 10g and we want to move from oracle names to OID
    couple of queries which we have
    Is Oracle Names supported for Oracle 10g databases and on Solaris 10 platforms? if not then is OID the product to replace Oracle Names or is it some other product?
    Does it have a repository database to retain data or is it flat file based?
    Does this software replacement version support oracle 8i, 9i, 10g and 11g databases?
    please let us know if possible
    thanx
    kb

    Names has been deprecated so moving away from it is the correct course of action.
    To find out about OID, which is not "database" I would suggest you either check the product docs or contact your Oracle sales rep. Invite that lucky person to bring out a Sales Engineer and give you a demo and answer your questions: They will.

  • Replacing Oracle Interconnect

    Hi All
         First a bit of background ...
         We have had a successful integration of our E-Business 11.5.10 system to an external system using Oracle Interconnect and a soap adaptor.
         Oracle E-Business <-> Oracle Interconnect <-> Soap Adaptor <-> External System.
         We have now upgraded to E-Business R12.1.3 and have decided to move away from Oracle Interconnect as it is no longer supported.
         Looking through the available documentation it would appear that SOA/BPEL is the all singing, all dancing solution to system integrations, but rather than start at the top, if possible I would like to make the minimum amount of changes.
         So my questions are ......
         1) Is it possible just to replace Oracle Interconnect with Oracle Service Bus
         Oracle E-Business <-> Oracle Service Bus <-> Soap Adaptor <-> External System.
         2) Do we need Oracle Service Bus or can we just use SOA Integration Options for Oracle E-Business Suite
         SOA Integration Options for Oracle E-Business Suite <-> Soap Adaptor <-> External System.
         We have some funding available for training but I want to make sure that which ever course we chose SOA/BPEL/Oracle Service Bus will contain the concepts we require to do the interface.
         So any advice(links to documentation) would be gratefully received.
    Regards

  • Replacing Oracle's FIRST_VALUE and LAST_VALUE analytical functions.

    Hi,
    I am using OBI 10.1.3.2.1 where, I guess, EVALUATE is not available. I would like to know alternatives, esp. to replace Oracle's FIRST_VALUE and LAST_VALUE analytical functions.
    I want to track some changes. For example, there are four methods of travel - Air, Train, Road and Sea. Would like to know traveler's first method of traveling and the last method of traveling in an year. If both of them match then a certain action is taken. If they do not match, then another action is taken.
    I tried as under.
    1. Get Sequence ID for each travel within an year per traveler as Sequence_Id.
    2. Get the Lowest Sequence ID (which should be 1) for travels within an year per traveler as Sequence_LId.
    3. Get the Highest Sequence ID (which could be 1 or greater than 1) for travels within an year per traveler as Sequence_HId.
    4. If Sequence ID = Lowest Sequence ID then display the method of travel as First Method of Travel.
    5. If Sequence ID = Highest Sequence ID then display the method of travel as Latest Method of Travel.
    6. If First Method of Travel = Latest Method of Travel then display Yes/No as Match.
    The issue is cells could be blank in First Method of Travel and Last Method of Travel unless the traveler traveled only once in an year.
    Using Oracle's FIRST_VALUE and LAST_VALUE analytical functions, I can get a result like
    Traveler | Card Issue Date | Journey Date | Method | First Method of Travel | Last Method of Travel | Match?
    ABC | 01/01/2000 | 04/04/2000 | Road | Road | Air | No
    ABC | 01/01/2000 | 15/12/2000 | Air | Road | Air | No
    XYZ | 01/01/2000 | 04/05/2000 | Train | Train | Train | Yes
    XYZ | 01/01/2000 | 04/11/2000 | Train | Train | Train | Yes
    Using OBI Answers, I am getting something like this.
    Traveler | Card Issue Date | Journey Date | Method | First Method of Travel | Last Method of Travel | Match?
    ABC | 01/01/2000 | 04/04/2000 | Road | Road | <BLANK> | No
    ABC | 01/01/2000 | 15/12/2000 | Air | <BLANK> | Air | No
    XYZ | 01/01/2000 | 04/05/2000 | Train | Train | <BLANK> | No
    XYZ | 01/01/2000 | 04/11/2000 | Train | <BLANK> | Train | No
    Above, for XYZ traveler the Match? clearly shows a wrong result (although somehow it's correct for traveler ABC).
    Would appreciate if someone can guide me how to resolve the issue.
    Many thanks,
    Manoj.

    Hi,
    Just to recap, in OBI 10.1.3.2.1, I am trying to find an alternative way to FIRST_VALUE and LAST_VALUE analytical functions used in Oracle. Somehow, I feel it's achievable. I would like to know answers to the following questions.
    1. Is there any way of referring to a cell value and displaying it in other cells for a reference value?
    For example, can I display the First Method of Travel for traveler 'ABC' and 'XYZ' for all the rows returned in the same column, respectively?
    2. I tried RMIN, RMAX functions in the RDP but it does not accept "BY" clause (for example, RMIN(Transaction_Id BY Traveler) to define Lowest Sequence Id per traveler). Am I doing something wrong here? Why can a formula with "BY" clause be defined in Answers but not the RPD? The idea is to use this in Answers. This is in relation to my first question.
    Could someone please let me know?
    I understand that this thread that I have posted is related to something that can be done outside OBI, but still would like to know.
    If anything is not clear please let me know.
    Thanks,
    Manoj.

  • How to install Oracle 10g with its grid functionality on Linux?

    Well, I thought changing the subject line might help to convey the meaning of what I want better. Here's my earlier post from a few hours earlier.
    Hi,
    I need carry out TPC-C benchmarking test for Oracle 10g (using one, two and four servers; basically using the grid in case of multiple servers). I have installed oracle 10g (with default options) on all the four servers, but beyond that I have no idea as to how can I invoke the grid option in order to carry out the tests-by my statement, I mean do I need to choose grid option while installing Oracle or is it the case that I specify the grid option in the code that I write for carrying out the tests. The OS is LInux (Scientific Linux).
    An unrelated problem-one of the servers is 64 bit while others are 32 bit, and proper versions of oracle have been installed. Neglecting the obvious fact that this will make comparisons difficult does anyone anticipate any other problem?
    Many Thanks!
    Steve

    Do you think that the installation of RAC can be done
    in a week? yes, as long as you know what you are doing and can catch the concept quickly and good at following instructions.
    Moreover, we do not have a cluster-all we
    have are four servers that are separate. Do you know
    if the name Real Application Clusters implies that
    the servers have to be in a cluster?
    The basic idea of RAC is all these hosts need to share same set of storage. The most popular such storage are SAN and NAS.

  • What can i replace this bind variable with in function?

    Hello
    I am creating a report showing training attended by employees. I have written a function to do the following:
    Parameters 1 - 4 is hard coded for a reason. So we dont worry about them.
    5th parameter: :START_DATE represents the date training started
    6th parameter: :END_DATE represents the date training ended.
    These date parameters are correctly used inside the select statement that the function is built upon. So don't worry that my date parameters are correct/incorrect.
    The focus should be on how you use bind variables inside Discoverer Admin. The select at the bottom runs perfectly in Toad and it allows you to use the date parameters as bind variables. But it does not allow it in Discoverer Admin
    The problem is with Parameter 5 and 6. I dont want to hard code the dates as i want the user to be able to enter his own date parameters.
    Discoverer Admin gives an error is i want to use :START_DATE and :END_DATE as parameters
    Does anyone have a solution for my problem.
    This is what the code looks like.
    SELECT apps.xxhr_fsc_training_info.xxhr_fsc_training ('A', '02','M', 'N',:START_DATE, :END_DATE)category_A_training
    , apps.xxhr_fsc_training_info.xxhr_fsc_training ('B', '02','M', 'N',:START_DATE, :END_DATE)category_B_training
    , apps.xxhr_fsc_training_info.xxhr_fsc_training ('C', '02','M', 'N',:START_DATE, :END_DATE)category_C_training
    , apps.xxhr_fsc_training_info.xxhr_fsc_training ('D', '02','M', 'N',:START_DATE, :END_DATE)category_D_training
    , apps.xxhr_fsc_training_info.xxhr_fsc_training ('E', '02','M', 'N',:START_DATE, :END_DATE)category_E_training
    , apps.xxhr_fsc_training_info.xxhr_fsc_training ('F', '02','M', 'N',:START_DATE, :END_DATE)category_F_training

    I have a request. The request is based on various emails written about passing parameters in Discoverer Admin/Desktop. Now if you are experienced and work with set copntext on regular basis then it should be a walk in the park. However if you are new to it like me, then it seems a daunting task. So my request is: Can't you provide us with an example of how to complete the whole process from begin to end using an actual example? I will kick off the process and maybe you can add where i left something out?
    Example:
    SELECT ENAME, HIRE_DATE
    FROM EMP
    WHERE HIRE_DATE = :IDATE;
    We want to run this select statement in Discoverer Admin, but Admin does not like the :IDATE bind variable. So now we are gonna use SET CONTEXT to find a solution to our problem.
    Step1:
    First we have to create a context namespace in the database for the Discoverer contexts. Here is the code to create the context. It is okay to also named your function EUL_DISCO as this name would work perfectly for almost everyone. Best is to do all of this in the Apps schema. Copy and paste this code in Toad and F9 it. It should compile successfully
    CREATE OR REPLACE CONTEXT eul_disco
    USING apps.eul_disco;
    Step 2:
    Now you need to create a package to enable you to set and retrieve contexts from in Discoverer. Here is the code to create the package and package body. Just copy and paste the code into Toad and F9 (execute) it to create the package.
    --Package Spec
    CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE eul_disco AS
    FUNCTION set_context(p_name VARCHAR2, p_value VARCHAR2) RETURN VARCHAR2;
    FUNCTION show_context(p_name VARCHAR2) RETURN VARCHAR2;
    END eul_disco;
    --Package Body
    CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY eul_disco IS
    FUNCTION set_context(p_name VARCHAR2, p_value VARCHAR2)
    RETURN VARCHAR2 AS
    BEGIN
    dbms_session.set_context('EUL_DISCO', p_name, p_value);
    RETURN p_value;
    END set_context;
    FUNCTION show_context(p_name VARCHAR2)
    RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
    BEGIN
    RETURN SYS_CONTEXT('EUL_DISCO', p_name);
    END show_context;
    END eul_disco;
    Step3:
    Once you have created this package successfully you need to log into Discoverer Admin. Then use the menu to navigate to Tools > Register PL/SQL Function. A window called 'PL/SQL Functions' will appear. Select the 'Import...' button. A new window called 'Import PL/SQL functions' will appear. Scroll down until you see set_context function. Once you found it click OK to import it to End User Layer. Do the same to import show_context function. Remember there are two functions and you need to import them both. When you are done, click 'Apply' button. Then click 'OK' button. You can double check to make sure your functions have been imported. Just nagivate to Tools > Register PL/SQL function again. When the window 'PL/SQL Functions' appears your function(s) should be in the list on the left hand site. Scroll down untill you find them.
    Step4:
    Now it is time to set your session parameters in a separate worksheet inside Discovere Desktop from your main reports. The following steps show you how to create a worksheet to define an effective date parameter. The parameter worksheet should be based on a folder that always returns exactly one row.
    Log into Discoverer Admin. Open the Business Area you want to use. Then create "New Custom Folder..."
    Copy and paste this code (select sydate from dual) inside the New Custom Folder and validate the code. Also rename your folder to 'Set Context Folder'
    Step 5
    Next log into Discoverer Desktop and choose 'Create New Workbook'. Then choose table layout option. In the available list choose 'Set Context Folder'. When you have highlighted 'Set Context Folder' click on '>' button. Then click then 'Finish' button. Once the workbook is created you will see 1 column called Sysdate and a row with today's date in it. Save this workbook and name this workbook XYZ. You might even rename the sheet to QWE.
    Step 6:
    Still in Desktop working on XYZ workbook on QWE sheet, click on Tools > Parameters > New. In the 'Name' field enter START_DATE. Next leave 'Create condition with operator' box unticked. Next in 'Prompt' field enter START_DATE. In 'Description' field enter START_DATE. In 'Default' field enter NULL. Click OK button when you are done.
    Step 7:
    Still in Desktop working on XYZ workbook on QWE sheet, click on Tools > Calculation > New. Click on 'Functions' radio button. Then click on 'Database' folder to expand it. Scroll down till you see 'Set Context' function in the list. Select it and click 'paste >>' button. It will now show: SET_CONTEXT(P_NAME, P_VALUE). Now you need to replace the two parameters (P_NAME, P_VALUE) of the function. Replace P_NAME with 'START_DATE'. When you are done click on Items radio button. Then click on the Parameters folder and select Start_Date.
    When you are done it should look like this: SET_CONTEXT('START_DATE',TO_CHAR(:START_DATE))
    You might want to rename this calculation to START_DATE
    Ps. If you need to create two date parameters START_DATE and END_DATE then you repeat step 7 cause you need one more calculation.
    Just replace START_DATE with END_DATE. You also might want to call this second calculation END_DATE. Thus when you are done you will have 2 calculations:
    SET_CONTEXT('START_DATE',TO_CHAR(:START_DATE))
    SET_CONTEXT('END_DATE',TO_CHAR(:END_DATE))
    This is useful when you want date parameters similar to: 'where date between :Start_date and :End_date'
    Step 8:
    When you now run the XYZ workbook (QWE sheet) it will prompt you for an START_DATE. Enter 10-Jun-2009 (make sure the format you enter the date is similar to the format you have set up in discoverer). Now your XYZ workbook have 2 columns. First column is still called Sysdate with today's date. The second column is called START_DATE with 10-JUN-2009 in it.
    Step 9:
    Now you want to remove the 'SELECT SYSDATE FROM DUAL' data stored in 'SET CONTEXT FOLDER' from your XYZ workbook (QWE sheet) as you no longer need that. Still working with Desktop inside XYZ workbook on QWE sheet > click on Sheet menu option > then Edit Sheet option. On the Select Items tab click on 'Set Context Folder' and click < button to remove the folder from workbook XYZ. Click OK when done and run the workbook XYZ (sheet QWE) again. Now the workbook XYZ (sheet QWE) should only have one column called START_DATE and 10-Jun-2009 as the only row.
    Step 10:
    Rob you might want to come in here. It is also useful to create another calculation retrieving the value of the parameter, so that the value entered for the parameter can be seen when the workbook is run. Please give step by step instruction to complete this process
    Step 11:
    Still remember your initial problem where we wanted to use :IDATE in Discoverer Admin folder, but Discoverer Admin did not like the :IDATE syntax?
    SELECT ENAME, HIRE_DATE
    FROM EMP
    WHERE HIRE_DATE = :IDATE;
    Solution:
    Well now you just replace :IDATE with TO_DATE(SYS_CONTEXT('EUL_DISCO','START_DATE'))
    Log into Discoverer Admin. Open your Business Area. Then create 'New Custom Folder..'.
    Copy the code below and paste it into the new custom folder.
    Then validate the code.
    Rename the new custom folder to 'Solution'
    --copy and paste this code into folder 'Solution'
    SELECT ENAME, HIRE_DATE
    FROM EMP
    WHERE HIRE_DATE = TO_DATE(SYS_CONTEXT('EUL_DISCO','START_DATE'))
    note: 'EUL_DISCO' is the name of the context and package you created in step1
    : 'START_DATE' is the name of the calculation you did in step7
    Then log onto Discoverer Desktop > open your workbook XYZ > open sheet QWE.
    Click on Menu item called Sheet > New Sheet > choose Table layout > click next > scroll down available folders till you find SQL folder with then name 'Solution'. Select 'Solution' folder and click > then click Finish.
    The folder named 'Solution' will be used to populate the newly created sheet with data. You might want to rename the newly created sheet to 'Finally'.
    At this point workbook XYZ should have 2 sheets (QWE and Finally).
    Sheet 'QWE' contains the parameter and nothing else.
    Sheet 'Finally' displays the code found in folder 'Solution'
    First you run sheet QWE to set parameter. When prompt for a date enter '10-JUN-2009'. Click OK button.
    Then click on sheet 'Finally' to allow the parameter to take effect and do its job. You will see that only data true of 10-JUN-2009 are displayed
    Notes:
    This is a very simple example. But if you work thru this example, then you will get the concept behind the idea and would you be able to satisfy your own need.
