Which views/tables to use for retrieving item information

Hi All,
I need to write a PL/SQL procedure for retrieving detailed information for a specified item (given inventory item ID and organization ID). I'm not quite sure which views/tables to us for this.
I found out that view MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_FVL is the underlying view for the Master Item Form (via help / record history menu option). But when looking up in eTRM following warning is described:
Warning: Oracle does not recommend you query or alter data using this view. It may change dramatically in subsequent minor or major releases.
The second view I found is MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_VL. But when quering for data in this view, it turned out that the view is empty.
Can anybody tell me for what purposes this view is used?
Is it the correct way to use one of these views (or any other?) for retrieving detailed item information or should I better define a new query within the procedure using tables such as MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_B, MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_TL and MTL_PARAMETERS (any others) ?
Any ideas for that?
Best Regards,
Carolin

Hi Carolin,
It's usually more efficient to use base tables instead of views. The tables you will actually need will depend on your requirements. Regarding your question about MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_VL, it's usually ok to use the _VL views. These typically contain the same information as the base tables plus some logic to get the appropriate translations for fields that can be shown in different languages (for instance, DESCRIPTION). Typical table names you will need could be:
Item Master: MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_B
Organizations: MTL_PARAMETERS
Subinventories: MTL_SECONDARY_INVENTORIES
Units of Measure: MTL_UNITS_OF_MEASURE
Onhand Quantity: MTL_ONHAND_QUANTITIES_DETAIL
Material Transactions: MTL_MATERIAL_TRANSACTIONS
Categories: MTL_CATEGORIES_B, MTL_CATEGORY_SETS_B, MTL_ITEM_CATEGORIES
If your query didn't return any data, it's probably because the language was not properly setup in your session (check USERENV ('LANG') so see what's the language in your session).
Hope it helps.

Which tables are used for Quality Efficiency calculation of OEE report ?

Hello,
We're confirming OEE report behavior.
I'd like to know OEE report and ME table specification.
Which tables are used for Quality Efficiency calculation of OEE report ?
According to I know, the definition of Quality Efficiency is (complete qty) / (start qty).
For this calculation, does OEE report just use qty_started and qty_completed of PRODUCTION_LOG table?
If any other tables/columns/logic are implemented, your information is appreciated.

How to set up set which NIC card to use for multicast?..

 I just downloaded Rolling Patch 1 for WLS6.0SP2.
 While reading the README file it says
 " ISSUE 42518: Provided a way to set which NIC card to use for multicast traffic
 Can anyone tell me how to set this?. on my WebApplication server it has two NIC
 cards and I want to use the NICcard which is being used to talk to internal network
 for multicast messages.
 One more thing,
 Can anyone one tell how to search for bugs (ISSUES) in weblogic. I am looking
 place where I enter ISSUE number and should get the detailed description of bug/issue
 etc..
 Thanks for helping,
 Nilesh


 Thanks Kumar, I'll try this.
 Does this -Dweblogic.interfaceAddress used only for multicast. Or this is also
 used to talk to AdminServer?.
 The other problem I am facing is when I restart the AdminServer in recovery mode
 it's not finding my WebApp servers, because my webapp servers are on public network
 and my admin (management) server is on private network.
 please look at http://newsgroups.bea.com/cgi-bin/dnewsweb?cmd=article&group=weblogic.developer.interest.management&item=1217&utag=
 , for more details about my problem.
 Thanks,
 Nilesh

Which tool do you use for load testing?

Which tool do you use for load testing for J2EE application?

hi,
i use jmeter for without issues..
first make sure that the system from where you are doing load testing is in the same lan(without firewall) to that of server. Here you are testing the capacity of server and not the network bandwith.
So assuming very good network connection what is the servers performance level...
If u have to decide which tool is decent enough to load testing,
i would suggest go for jmeter. its reliable and i have used it without problems.
Here is my quick tutorial for jemeter which i made for my teams reference.
REFERENCE
     For Getting Started refer to any tutorial for Jmeter
     You can refer to introduction on
          http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/
RUNNING LOAD TEST
     Extract jakarta-jmeter-2.3RC4.zip in c:
     install jdk-1_5_0_12-windows-i586-p.exe
     Run C:\jakarta-jmeter-2.3RC4\bin\jmeter.bat
     In Test Plan add Thread Group
     Right Click Thread Group -> Add->Sampler->HTTP Request
     Select HTTP Request added fill details
          Serverip:www.xyz.com
          Port:80
          Path:/xyz-webapp/index.jsp
          Use KeepAlive: Checked
          Retrive All Embeded images from HTML: Checked(For geting images inside html)
     Right Click Thread Group -> Add->Listner->Graph Results
     Click on Thread Group Fill details
          No of Threads:3(This means no of simultaneous users)
          Ramp Up Period:1(3 Request will be made in 1 second period)
          Loop Count:5(Above process should be repeated how many times)
     Save TestPlan
     Run -> Clear All
     Run -> Start
          Click on Graph Results for Output
     Try adding different listener in Thread Group
          Thread Group -> Add->Listner->Summary Report
     Listeners coud be added at thread group level or HTTP Request Level
RECORDING A TEST.
     Add a HTTP proxy server in workbench by right clicking on it and selecting Add->Non test Element->HTTP Proxy Server.
     In Test Plan Add Thread Group
     In HTTP proxy server select Target Controller as Test Plan > Thread Group.
     Go to Internet Explorer and go to internet settings and set proxy server as localhost and the port
          which is configured in Jmeter proxy server.Save Settings.
     In Jeter proxy server start by Clicking on Start button in the HTTP Proxy Server Flap.
     In browser navigate the application which you want to test.
     The nodes will be added in the Thread Group.
     Once Navigation is done stop the proxy server and save the test plan from file menu.
LOGGING INTO APPLICATION.
     When we have to login into system and then navigate the system
          we need a cookie to be tracked after login. This could be achieved
          simply by Add -> Config Element -> HTTP Cooie Manager.
     After adding the HTTP Cooie Manager simply run the test.
LOOPING COUNTER.
     When a request is made multiple parameter is sent to server.
     Parameters are sent from the HTTP Request node added in the Thread Group
          in "Send Parameter with the request" table.
     If we run the loop count 10 times the parameters will be sent same in every request.
     If you have to send parameters like user1,user2,user3,user4....
          then add -> Pre processor -> Counter.
     Put start as 1 and and Maximum as 10 or whatever required.
     Put Referene name as iCtr or whatever.
     In the "Send Parameter with the request" in value column put user${iCtr}

Which situation should we use the text item with the item category TATX

Dear experts!
Thank you for your attention!
I am confused with text item (TATX).
which situation should we use the text item with the item category TATX????
Someone told me that the text item is dummy and should be used as a manual of certain standard item. But the manual may be a book or several papers and it also takes up some inventory not a dummy.
So, could some body tell me what the text item (TATX) exact is and what function it has.
Best regard!
Tangdark

Hi,
you can use TATX if you like to enter a text and to print some information between the item lines.

HI ALL,
I am just evluate OWB tools.

I need to join two tables A and B with Condition A.id=B.id

(1) to get matched 100 record from B to a new table C,
(2)to get the not matched 900 records from A to another table D.
By the requirement like above, which operator could i use for?
I tried to use joined but can not get the record of (2).

and the other used to get unmatched records?
Thanks

Quick view is currently unavailable for this item

There must be something set up wrong because when I go into Itunes "reccomendations for you" every item that I try to see using quick view always comes up with the same message " Quick view is currently unavailable for this item". perhaps someone had the same problem and found a solution. itunes for Windows in a windows 8 machine.

Same here. I actually had this problem a few iTunes versions ago, and it lasted for a year or so. I don't even remember what I did or what happened that fixed it. Wish I could recall. I can't view any quick views for my Genius Recommendations in the iTunes store.

In Adobe Acrobat 9 which I have been using for a long time (Widows 7) says, You cannot use this prod

In Adobe Acrobat 9 (Wndows 7) which I have been using for a long time now it says I cannot use it withoutv repairing. It instructs me to uninstall & reinstall...

I have not run into this yet with my AA9 and Win7, but have been seeing posts about it. I would try a repair before I would do an uninstall and reinstall. You might also turn off javascript for a bit in case there has been some javascript that has caused problems (ok, making wild guesses). If you do decide to uninstall, be sure to deactivate first, uninstall, run http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html, and remove any left over parts of the Acrobat folder. Then proceed to the reinstall and updates.
There is a question about whether being able to use it is correct, or you are just getting some message that is a spam that somehow got into your system (again, a possible javascript issue). Besides turning off javascript, you could also try isolating the javascripts to moving them to a temporary directory and seeing if one is causing the problem.

Be grateful for your help with Photoshop Elements which I have been using for several years.

Be grateful for your help with Photoshop Elements which I have been using for several years. Does Elements need to have access to ‘My Pictures’ on Windows as when I remove Photos from ‘My Pictures’, Elements later, when backing up, gives a message that it is unable to ‘reconnect’ to the same picture on elements. On other occasions when removing a photo from Elements catalogue I also get a similar message when backing up saying ‘unable to reconnect’. 1. Is there a relationship between Elements and My Pictures and is Elements dependant on the Windows ‘My Pictures’? 2. Why does some photos in Elements in some cases cause them to multiply e.g. double; triple; quadruple; and on occasions even more? Is there something I need to do to stop this or an easy way I can remove the multiples without spending hours doing it manually one by one? Am I doing something wrong? My O/S is Windows XP SP2 and windows Vista on my Laptop. I have been using Elements 5 and have just purchased Photoshop Elements 8.0. (Upgrade) and about to install it. Be grateful for any advice as I do enjoy using the program if only I can resolve this issue. I am not a PC wiz and mainly use Elements to catalogue photos from which I compile collections and from them slide shows with music. Any advice appreciated Sonny.t PS Have tried to post this previously but without success so hoping to see message appear and a +response

The organizer doesn't care where you send your photos when you download them via the downloader or where they happen to be when you first bring them in if you use the Get Photos command, but once your pics are in the Organizer, you *must* move them from within organizer or it can't find them. You don't have to use My Pictures at all if you don't want to, but regardless of the folder where you put your photos, if you want them someplace else, you use organizer to do it.
