Hi,

This might be very OLD and boring question.

I would like to know if we can transfer menus from ONE instacne to ANOTHER. Please let me know if somebody has already worked on this or not.

I saw couple of scripts on archive, but they are related to UPGRADE but not about TRANSFER.....

Thanks, -chakrapani

Yes you can...

Source Instance:
----------------
FNDSLOAD APPS/PASS 0 Y FND my_menu_file.slt DOWNLOAD MY_MENU

Destination Instance:
---------------------
FNDSLOAD APPS/PASS 0 Y FND my_menu_file.slt INSERT

I like using INSERT rather than UPLOAD because it is not destructive on existing items. Be sure to check the log files.

There is one SQL script available on my Oracle Application site. Test it in a test enviornment before you use it in production.

I put some SQL scripts out there a year or so ago I used when upgrading from 10.5 to 10.7 (FNDSLOAD wasn't working or something...). You're just selecting/inserting values from/into a couple of tables - I did it with a database link...

It's no big deal and un-supported because you are doing SQL*Plus with FND tables. It is probably one of the simpler things to figure out in the Oracle Apps Data Model (especially using the scripts).

Use of FNDSLOAD is "supported" if you are worried...

All,

We are upgrading from 11.0.28 to 11.0.3 and I used folllowing scripts to transfer menus from CRP ( a development instace ) instacne to the brand new Blank copy of 11.0.3 intance.

Everything went fine when I checked from Define Menus screen. All the details were looking fine.

I also transferred Resp.s in the same way as shown here.

After doing all this , I assigned one resp. to SYSADMIN and entered into the new resp. But I am getting FRM-40375: PRE-FORM trigger raised unhandled exception error NO_DATA_FOUND for some menu items.

PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT MIGHT BE THE PROBLEM.

I checked ENter Menus screen and Enter Resp.s screen in both CRP and the OTHER instance. Everything was looking fine.

Security on NCA - How to allow Read only access to users

From: ddicondina@SUNGARDRS.COM
To: oraapps-l@cpa.qc.ca
Subject: NCA Security

Hello,

We are currently migrating from 10.7 Character to 10.7 NCA, running the Database Server and Forms Server on one Sun Solaris 2.6 box with 7.3.4. We use AP, AR and GL and I am in the process of setting up new responsibilities. I have a dilemma in the fact that, in Character, you had forms that gave users read-only capability for invoices, receipts, accounts, and customers. My question is how do I give users read-only access to this same information? I called oracle and the analyst began reading out of a book about function security. I do not believe this problem pertains to function exlusions. Is there a way to set-up a responsibility as view-only? Am I making any sense?

Let me know your thoughts,

Subject: RE: NCA Security

Dominic-

One simple way of doing this is to work with the specific functions. Determine what function your users will need for view only, then copy the function and set the parameter to 'QUERY_ONLY=YES'. Then create a new menu with the changed functions and you'll now have the ability to give users the same access, but they'll only be able to query information. If they try to update something in the form there will be a message displayed in the toolbar saying that they are not able to update information.

But beware, there are some Oracle forms that don't always work with the query parameter. I know of several in OE, so it would be good to test out any new functionality before you roll it out to your user community.

Hi Dominic,

Create responsibilities with menus set up with view access, ie what the Oracle analyst was trying to say is use the function field to limit the access to view only. It does not require coding, just selection from a pick list.

Inquiry is available for everything you illustrated below.

Between reviewing existing menu's and and the help of the system admin book, you should be in good shape.

Good luck. Randy

I am not sure about your particular screens, however, we have the same stuff for the Requisition Summary & Po summary screen. We are still in the prototype mode but I have used function security to achieve the same thing.

Hi!!!

We have attained the same thru Function Security too. There is one more method, make a new form function, just copy the original one and in the Parameters field, say QUERY-ONLY=YES. This will make the specified form as Query only. We have implemeted the Orders Form (OEXOEMOE) in this way and it Works. I have also used function security in Customers forms, where u can exclude a particular function and it will give u the desired functionality, disabling some buttons on tthe form. See if it works for u.

Subject: RE: NCA Security

Alok,
If you created a new function, I guess you would have to give it the same name as the Oracle function? My understanding is that the forms are coded to call that particular function. If you gave it your own name, the form would not know about it?

Assuming the SAME name, the problems I see in doing this:
- You really have to make sure that you want to change it for every other call to that function i.e. you have to be sure what other forms are calling it & that is what you want it to do.
- Would this not cause a problem at upgrade time?

Any thoughts? Kermiz.

Hi ,
The best way to do this is through creation of a new function.

First go to the Define functions screen and query up the form that you want to be made query only. Then duplicate this record and change the name of the function (you can just append _QO) and also the User function name(just append "View" in the front of the name). Then in the parameters append QUERY_ONLY='YES'. Once this is done attach this function to the appropriate menu.

Concurrent Manager causing lot of internal errors - ORA-00600

From: rchalton@dunnes-stores.ie
To: oraapps-l@cpa.qc.ca
Subject: GEN: Concurrent Manager - HELP!

We are running Release 11 on Windows NT. On our development machine a concurrent program caused loads of internal errors to occur:

ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [plio.c: client p], [2], [], [], [], [], [], []

The application hung and I was unable to access the database via SQL*Plus either.

Tried to shutdown the concurrent manager, but after one hour of waiting decision made to shut down the server and restart.

After shutdown and restarting the NT server and starting the application database and services, cannot get into the application and cannot access the database via SQL*Plus. On checking the logs I see that the concurrent program has restarted and causing the same internal errors.

Does anyone know how this can be cancelled - bearing in mind I cannot get into the application, nor can I use SQL*Plus.

Any help greatly appreciated.
Rob

Hi,

Check your TRACE files and find out where it is giving the exact problem. You may find the SQL that is causing these problems.

Try to take decision based on this SQL.

There are several causes for ORA-600 error. Otherwise search on Metalink. You can find atleast one of them being 100% matching with your problem.

What is the exact release no. 11.0.28 or 11.0.3 ?
All the best.

I am on Unix platform and am not familiar with NT, but can you see the process at the o/s level? Can you "kill" the process for the concurrent program which is giving you grief?

Have you contacted Oracle Support. Here is the explanation for the ORA error:
// *Cause: This is the generic internal error number for Oracle program
// exceptions. This indicates that a process has encountered an
// exceptional condition.
// *Action: Report as a bug - the first argument is the internal error number

Thanks to all for advice. The problem is now solved. For anyone who is interested this is the action I took:

Start up an NT cmd box
set ORACLE_SID=DEV2
svrmgr30
connect internal
....password...
shutdown abort

I then select the Services icon and closed down the concurrent manager services.

Then returning to my cmd box (still running svrmgr30) and:

startup
shutdown immediate
startup
exit

From my client I started the application (without concurrent manager being started) and cancelled my job.

I then restarted the concurrent manager services and everything is back to normal.

And of course I'll correct my code!

Thanks again. Rob

Our last ORA-00600 was solved by the DBA going to the Oracle RDBMS Support group (as opposed to the AOL group) with the RDBMS alert log. It was the second time we found a problem related to RDBMS version 7.3.4.2, with the solution being, "upgrade to 7.3.4.3 (now 7.3.4.4)".

Rob says this is Rel 11, and I'm not sure if that means RDBMS V7 or V8, but I thought this might help...

I've a custom form developed, that is based on a custom table and is part of customization of Oracle HR. Now the custom table has data for all the organizations that we have. And the same table/form will be used in all the organizations/sites. I want to restrict the acces to the users depending on the organization they belong to. I mean to say that the guy in one organization should not be able to see data of another organization related data. For example as we select the organization before we do anything in Oracle Inventory like performing transactions etc. Can anybody help me in this regard.

Hi Anil

I did the following in one of my recent FORM:

Step-1
Create a base table text item organization_id in the master block.

Step-2
Use a 'PRE-QUERY' trigger in the master block with the following code

begin

:masterblock.organization_id:=fnd_profile.VALUE('SO_ORGANIZATION_ID');
end;

You can use fnd_profile.GET as well. Please refer Oracle Applications, Coding Standard for further details.

Note: -- SO_ORGANIZATION_ID or MFG_ORGANIGATION_ID returns Inventory Org ID and ORG_ID returns Operating unit Org ID. So use the appropriate one.
