What are your top 10 issues to upgrade E-Business Suite

Hi everyone,
My name is Max Arderius, Product Manager for Life Cycle Management products in Oracle. We are doing a big effort to help customers to simplify their E-Business Suite upgrade. We are trying to collect all the information we can to identify the top issues that customers are facing before, during or after E-Business Suite upgrades. We are really committed to address all possible issues and so we can prevent usual problems, showstoppers, inconveniences, lack of documentation and other technical difficulties.
What would you say are your top 10 issues that faced to upgrade to R12? Or what would you like Oracle to address in the near future to make your life easier?
I am looking forward for your postings! Thanks!
Max

Hi Max ! Hope you are well :-)
One thing that I assume most folks would find useful is a pre-upgrade script that can do some basic checks to identify any potential issues that need to be addressed before the upgrade starts.
A simple example is documented in MOS Doc 802515.1 (R12 Upgrade: Workers Fail In Apstca01.Sql) - the profile option in our system was set to NULL (the default) and the apstca01.sql failed in the middle of the first test upgrade - not a big issue, but would have been nice to have this corrected before the upgrade.
I am sure that are hundreds of such "gotchas" from all the various modules :-)
This script is almost analogous to the database pre-upgrade script/tool (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e17222/upgrade.htm#UPGRD12395) that performs some checks and makes recommendations.
Thanks

What are your top 3 tasks in Creator? We'll document them...

The Creator Content Team is looking to document the most popular tasks you do (or want to do) in Creator in a quick, easy, accessible way...step-by-step instructions with screen shots. Let us know, and we'll start working on it, now.
Thanks,
Carla King

I prefer a worked example which demonstrates how to submit a multi page form which updates multiple tables in a database.
At the end of every page there will be a [b]Continue button to load the next page. At the top of every page you should state how many pages are there in this form submition process and what are they about and what is the current page.
The database update should only be done after the last page of the form is submitted.
This is really a very common task (possibly the most common task). Giving an example on this you can show how efficiently and easily this can be done by JSC. We also can make the most of the JSC.
Thank you very much.

What are your top three favorite new features in 8?

First off, let me say that I am blown away with this update. It really has almost everything I could have hoped for. Bug fixes, workflow improvements galore, not a bunch of new plug ins but great improvements on the old ones, and I personally love the new look. Job well done apple. Three features that will revolutionize the way I work:
1. Key command for hiding plug ins. Some plugs take a ton of time for the graphics to load, that used to be really annoying.
2. Key command for disabling control surfaces. I am always needing to switch from using my control surface as a mixer controller to using it to quickly automate some CC on a MIDI track. This makes it very quick and easy.
3. Delay Designer. I just got into this one, absolutely amazing. Those melodic patterns really got me excited. This completely obliterates any other delay I've ever seen feature wise, and the interface is great. I used to use Ohmboyz as my go to for complex delays, but Delay Designer blows it away from what I can tell. The compressor improvements are very nice as well!

1. Mainstage - Even though I probably won't use Logic for live performance much, I love how simple, clean, and intuitive the interface looks. I will probably use this when composing as it seems to be one of the easiest ways to route drum pads, create keyboard layers, etc. really quickly, and the interface is very inviting.
2. Delay designer looks really fun. I remember spending 30 minutes once in Sonar trying to get the stupid delay to do a really simple thing. I finally gave up and layered the audio data to make my own delay because it didn't give me enough control to make it happen in the plugin. It looks like I could have just drawn it into the Delay Designer and been done with it.
3. Import from Garageband - Not a new feature, but I love using Garageband as a musical notepad when all I want to do is create something simple or jot down an idea. In this period, I don't need all the features of Logic, but I will eventually, and then I just open it up in Logic and get more advanced.

What are your top "collaboration" mistakes?

We all know that collaborating cross-functionally is key to getting new marketing ideas and approaches adopted internally. However, I bet many of us have learned this the hard way. I know I did. In my early days of using marketing automation I actually built and rolled out a lead scoring model without a single bit of input from sales. BIG PROBLEM!
So, tell us some stories. What mistakes have you (or others in your organization) made that have hindered cross-departmental alignment? If you were going to advise new marketers on mistakes to avoid when rolling out new marketing ideas and approaches internally, what would you say?

Great question, Sarah Hums-Oracle! We did educate / demonstrate / document for our internal clients, but found there was need for pretty constant "re-education"... the farther removed from the initial to the first actual use, the greater the need for re-education. Those of us using Eloqua every single day were struggling a bit at first to understand why our internal clients weren't talking the same Marketing Automation language. I've now had multiple sessions where we share screens and link campaign planning to Eloqua functionality, and have seen an increased interest in the campaign canvas and the back-end data (at first, it was like "Why are you showing me the Eloqua campaign canvas? Let's get back to my campaign strategy PPT."). There has also been a lot of re-education on how exactly marketing automation can function to nurture contacts through the customer journey cycle - we are still living about 85% in the world of discrete marketing campaigns, and only beginning to integrate the world of drip campaigns (welcome, nurture, re-engagement) now that our internal clients understand what those are (and that the associated assets and timing need to be thoughtfully planned out!).

What are your impressions of "multi-tasking"?

If you have iOS4 and a capable device, you should have multi-tasking and opened apps appearing in the task bar. Newer app versions are able to run in the background. In my opinion, when I close most apps (by pressing the home button), I want them to close completely, not run in the background. Aside from being a privacy issue, apps in the task bar may use battery power or if truly in a suspended mode, they still take up memory or process capability. In order to really shut them down, two additional home button clicks and then two more screen strokes are required. Not very efficient and probably leading to an earlier home button failure. Why not have some kind of screen command (tap or swipe combination?) to simultaneously shut down all apps in the task bar? The bar itself is useless if you have used many apps in the course of a day. To find what you're looking for, you have to scroll through a long parade of icons. It's a lot easier to just tap the icon where you know it is sitting in the nice folder you created. I don't get it. I realize the bar can be used for switching open apps, but this is really not that big of a deal for the vast majority of apps. Furthermore, there should be an option to enable or disable multi-tasking globally as well as for individual apps. Now that would be an improvement.
What are your thoughts?

I havent done any kind of multitasking on my ipod touch, im waiting to upgrade my software to the newer one. However, I couldnt agree more with that of pressing the home button many times to perform basic function to switch apps or enable the multitasking ability. I think palm adapted a better design of software than apple ever did with their IOS 4. Palm's webOS can handle full multitasking--something the iPhone can't do. Palm uses what it calls "a deck of cards model" for managing multitasking: You can view each of your open applications at once, shuffle them any way you choose, and then discard the ones you want to close. All of this is done with intuitive gestures that mimic handling a physical deck of cards. Apps remains live, even when minimized into the card view, so changes can continue to happen in real-time, even if you've moved on to another activity.
I had the time to experience a bit of a palm web os software on an AT&T store and my impression on that software is done more elegantly than apple multitasking home pressing button system.
P.S to NYtroutbum: you should definitely present that idea to apple by its feedback product page. Let's hope it listens.

What are your favorite U.S. cities to travel to?

Can't speak for Chicago, but my favourite city to either live in or visit since I've been in the US is Seattle - by far. Always something going on, great food. And football (Sounders!)

I am heading to Chicago tomorrow to visit friends and the countdown is in full swing...I've only been to Chicago when it was freeeeezing, so I am very much looking forward to spending time on the water this time around!My mom is a flight attendant, so I've grown up traveling around the U.S., and so far, I'd say my two favorite cities (aside from Austin, where I live) are Chicago (even in the snow it was absolutely amazing) and San Diego. Nothing like the energy of a metropolitan city or the calmness of the beach.What are your favorite U.S. cities to travel to?PS. If you have any "must-do" recommendations while I'm in Chi-Town, I'm all ears! =)

External library inside Air native extension for android

Hello everyone,
First, I've been looking throught this topics
- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7732742/air-3-native-extensions-for-android-can-i-how-t o-include-3rd-party-libraries
- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24626380/how-to-include-additional-jar-in-android-nativ e-extension-for-adobe-air-mobile
I got a similar problem. But not exactly the same. And the solution didn't worked for me :(.
First of all, I don't have any visible error.
-I can easily talk between java and action script.
-The gateway is set without problems.
My problem comes when, from my java-side-part of the extension, I try to call a 3rd party library. This library is (and I think this is where I do something wrong) linked to my project as an external lib, in .jar format.
So when I make a call to 3rd party library, it just doesn't print anything. Neither on the adobe part or on the java part. The logs that are before my call are printed but not the ones after.
I tried different solutions that are:
-Taking all compiled class files of my external lib and add it inside the main native extension jar [link1]
same result (no errors)
-including the 3rd party jar inside the ANE by adding a dependence file that require the .jar [link2]
with this method i got this error that I don't get
> aapt tool failed:ERROR: input directory '--auto-add-overlay' does not exist
My third party library also include's itself some external .jars so do I need to include every jars inside the same packaged jar?
I can see that a lot of people are dealing with issues like that so my question would be:
What is the best way to include 3rd party library inside android AIR Native Extension ?.
For information, here is what I do to create the ANE
>adt -package -target ane AirInfinitGameANE\AirInfinitGame.ane AirInfinitGameASLib\src\extension.xml -swc AirInfinitGameANE\AirInfinitGameASLib.swc -platform Android-ARM -C AirInfinitGameLib .
- AirInfinitGameASLib: just the folder with the actionScript part and the config xml file
- AirInfinitGameANE: folder in the one that will be the native extension
- AirInfinitGameLib: the eclipse java project. I need to put in that folder the airInfinitgamelib.jar(extension jar) and the library.swf (from the swc file) in order to beeing able to compile the ANE.
Here it is ! Thanks a lot for thoses who'll read me.

I had the same problem recently and fixed it as follows;
- Extract the 3rd party jar file and copy the class folder (usually named "com" in the root of the jar) to my project.
- Under Project Properties -> Java Build Path -> Libraries click "Add class folder" and add the "com" folder you just extracted from your .jar.
Hope this helps

Adobe AIR Native Extensions

We are planning to choose a new platform of our new convergent media device. Like to know whether we can develop our platform using Adobe AIR Native Extension for Linux OS?
I came to know that Adobe has subscription based suuport for developers. If that is the case we can purchase support for development assistance on Linux based AIR Native Extensions. What we need are the FRE libraries and C code to run the Native extensions on Linux. I had acces to AIR 3.0 for Linux sometime back. Unfortunately our project look some time to mature.
Please let us know about this so that we can base our plans on AIR/Linux native extensions.

We have carefully followed your instructions, and we're sure we've not made a mistake writing the action script 3 code.
We need your help in solving this problem urgently, as we are now running behind schedule in uploading our app.
Thanks very much,
Amir Steklov and Dorit Leshnick

AdMob AIR native extension

Hey guys.
I've been working on an AdMob ANE for a couple weeks:
http://www.brinkbit.com/blog/ane-admob-android-ios/
I know there are already a number of these out there, but I couldn't find one with all the features that I wanted, so I decided to make my own. Mostly I was interested in exposing the AdMob SDK's new property "tag_for_child_directed_treatment" to make apps COPPA-compliant. I don't know if anyone else is really concerned about COPPA compliance, but it was something that my company has been paying close attention to.
The ANE also served as a great learning experience for me, as it was the first big Native Extension I've made. I plan on making a lot more of these in the near future, and it was useful to start with something that I knew was possible.
In making it, I realized there were a number of other aspects I could expose in the SDK that maybe some other developers overlooked, like the ability to preload both banner and interstitial ads. I tried to make it as full-featured as possible and I'm pretty proud of the result. This was mostly for my own benefit, but I'm hoping that other developers will find this useful. I spent a ton of time working of this and I didn't feel comfortable offering it 100% for free, especially since most of the other AdMob ANEs I found are paid, but I tried to make it as cheap as reasonably possible.
I am planning on making some free tools for Starling developers in the near future, so if paid stuff is not your cup of tea, I totally respect that and am gonna make stuff for you too
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
Here's a tutorial I put together http://www.brinkbit.com/blog/admob-air-native-extension-tutorial/

I am stuck in a problem regarding AIR native extension from couple of days.Whenever I tried to run an extension for windows it gives error code 3500 (extension context cannot have the method ie methodname).I am doing all things correctly but don't know where I lack.I am using Flash Builder 4.6 and 64 bit machine.I made the sample extension POC for android ,they are working fine.No such issue.
Please post your valuable comments.Eagerly waiting for reply.
Thanks

AIR Native Extensions. How to loop FREObject properties?

Hello.
We're working on a new AIR Native Extension, the goal is to run javascript code inside AIR. However that's actually not directly related to the problem.
The problem itself:
- we need to pass some AS3-objects to the javascript runtime
- javascript runtime (SpiderMonkey) has a different GC, different memory aligning and a lot of other things, that differs from AIR
- the only suitable way for us is to iterate through AS3-Object properties and to create a mirror-object in SpiderMonkey
- we do not have such an API in FlashRuntimeExtensions.h which would allow us to iterate Object properties
So the question is - is there any way to iterate on AS3-Object properties in С/С++ side of a Native Extension?
If there is not than the only possibility for us is to use JSON-strings which is actually far from optimal.
Thanks in advance,
Denis

Thanks for your reply but they are for sale actually, not open sourced... for example: http://myappsnippet.com/gcm/ which supports custom notification icons and sounds...

Flash CS6 IDE Air Native Extensions problem HELP

i'm trying to test out CS6's new native extension (ANE) but I'm having a difficult time getting it to work.
First I went to Adobe's page: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/native-extensions-for-air.html
Downloaded the "Vibration" ane and then through the Actionscript settings panel added the .ane file to my app and then in my actionscript tried to add the code:
import com.adobe.extensions.Vibration
var vibe:Vibration;
vibe = new Vibration();
vibe.vibrate();
But when I go to compile I get this error:
Scene 1, Layer 'Layer 2', Frame 1, Line 3
1172: Definition com.adobe:Vibration could not be found.
What do I need to do to get this running? I've tried several different things and variations on the above code but nothing seems to do it. Help!

Well that gets me furthur than before. Thank you. I had to change a few things.
import com.adobe.extensions.Vibration
I had to change to:
import com.adobe.nativeExtensions.Vibration
but now when I test in the debugger I get this error:
[SWF] iOS.swf - 3827 bytes after decompression
Vibration Constructor
Vibration Constructor: Create an extension context
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

And when I publich to app the phone doesn't vibrate, but all my other functions and actions are working. Any ideas?

Has anyone anywhere managed to get "AIR Native Extensions" to work with Flash CS 5.5?

I'm trying to integrate Adobe's "Gyroscope" example of ANE to work from Flash Professional CS 5.5.
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/native-extensions-for-air/extensions/gyroscope.html
Apparently, one has to use the somewhat crude "ADT" command-line tool to build an app that uses Native Extensions.
Unfortunately, I cannot get past the numerous errors ADT is throwing at me. The latest is:
unexpected failure: inputs not set
java.lang.IllegalStateException: inputs not set
          at com.adobe.air.ApplicationPackager.createPackage(ApplicationPackager.java:62)
          at com.adobe.air.ADT.parseArgsAndGo(ADT.java:556)
          at com.adobe.air.ADT.run(ADT.java:413)
          at com.adobe.air.ADT.main(ADT.java:463)
Unfortunately, I'm not an advanced developer, so I really don't know what any of that means. (But I'm sure if I can just get this one example to compile and run, I'll be better able to perform the necessary tasks in the future.)
Can someone PLEASE help me?
Thanks.
Mike

If you are looking for input from others, you are more likely to find people with either similar problems or complaints in the Flash General Forum (http://forums.adobe.com/community/flash/flash_general?view=discussions) rather than here in the Actionscript 3 forum. If you scan thru it for the past few weeks/months you might even find someone with the same problem.
