Script to Start and Stop the Application, Database Servers Oracle Applications: Script to Start and Stop the Application, Database Servers: This is script is tested in oracle applications version 12.1.1 on linux 64 bit system cent OS. Oracle software, by default, gives startup script for database and applications server for each server basis. Once you have installed the server, and established your working site, you need to Database, listeners and application servers in sequence and process the same kind of execution to stop the system. I tried to semi automate the system by having this script in place so that I can startup the servers in single command and stop them in single command. The script internally validates and run automatically. As a side note, you can also automate the system by giving this script or script link in your link server boot startup area (which is not shown here). Here are the scripts:

Checking Credit Card Number validity in Internet Expenses, iPayments using Luhn algorithm (modulus 10)

Is there any method to spot check validity of the card number, prior to asking client to check with the credit card company? Team that follows LUHN10 ALGORITHM (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luhn_algorithm) for validating the checksum on the card numbers. If the checksum ends with 0 modulus of the checksum is congruent to zero then the number is valid (For e.g. 70 MOD 10 = 0). In general all the credit card brands follow this algorithm. As an illustration, if the account number is 49927398716, it will be validated as follows.

Double every second digit: (1×2) = 2, (8×2) = 16, (3×2) = 6, (2×2) = 4, (9×2) = 18Sum all digits (digits in parentheses are the products from Step 1): 6 + (2) + 7 + (1+6) + 9 + (6) + 7 + (4) + 9 + (1+8) + 4 = 70Take the sum modulo 10: 70 mod 10 = 0; the account number is valid.

I have created a simple shell script ran as concurrent job which sends the list daily or periodically.

Key Flex Field Structures & How to Retrieve Information.

Here is some of quite commonly used AOL FND ( Foundation) tables and their usage. There are many other tables also in FND but here i am putting only few commonly used tables. for other table if needed we can dig further.

FND_ID_FLEXS stores registration information about key flexfields. Each row includes the four–character code that identifies the key flexfield, the title of the flexfield (by which a user identifies theflexfield), the name of the combinations table that contains the key flexfield columns, and the name of the structure defining (MultiFlex) column for the flexfield (SET_DEFINING_COLUMN_NAME). Each row also contains values that identify the application that owns the combination table and the application that owns the key flexfield, a table–type flag that specifies whether the combinations table is specificor generic (S or G), whether dynamic inserts are feasible for the flexfield(Y or N), whether the key flexfield can use ID type value sets, and the name of the unique ID column in the combinations table. You need one row for each key flexfield in each application. Oracle Application ObjectLibrary uses this information to generate a compiled key flexfield definition

FND_ID_FLEX_SEGMENTS: FND_ID_FLEX_SEGMENTS stores setup information about keyflexfield segments, as well as the correspondences between application table columns and the key flexfield segments the columns are used for. Each row includes a flexfield application identifier, the flexfield code,which identifies the key flexfield, the structure number(ID_FLEX_NUM), the value set application identifier, the segment number (the segment’s sequence in the flexfield window), the name of the column the segment corresponds to (usually SEGMENTn, where n is an integer). Each row also includes the segment name, whether security is enabled for the segment, whether the segment is required, whether the segment is one of a high, low segment pair, whether the segment is displayed, whether the segment is enabled (Y or N), type of default value, display information about the segment such as prompts and display size, and the value set the segment uses. Each row also includes a flag for whether the table column is indexed; this value is normally Y. You need one row for each segment of each structure for each flexfield. Oracle Application Object Library uses this information to generate a compiled key flexfield definition to store in the FND_COMPILED_ID_FLEXS table Thanks – Shivmohan Purohit

FND_ID_FLEX_STRUCTURES : FND_ID_FLEX_STRUCTURES stores structure information about keyflexfields. Each row includes the flexfield code and the structurenumber (ID_FLEX_NUM), which together identify the structure, and the name and description of the structure. Each row also includes values that indicate whether the flexfield structure is currently frozen, whether rollup groups are frozen (FREEZE_STRUCTURED_HIER_FLAG), whether users can dynamically insert new combinations of segment values through the flexfield pop–up window, and whether the flexfield should use segment cross–validation rules. Each row also contains information about shorthand flexfield entry for this structure, including whether shorthand entry is enabled, the prompt for the shorthand window, and the length of the shorthand alias field in the shorthandwindow. You need one row for each structure of each key flexfield. Oracle Application Object Library uses this information to generate acompiled key flexfield definition to store in the FND_COMPILED_ID_FLEXS table

FND_FLEX_VALUES stores valid values for key and descriptive flexfield segments. Oracle Application Object Library uses this table when users define values for independent or dependent type value sets. Oracle Application Object Library also uses this table when users define parent values for ranges of child values that exist in a validation table(Oracle Application Object Library stores the parent values in this table). Each row includes the value (FLEX_VALUE) and its hierarchy level if applicable as well as the identifier of the value set the value belongs to. If the value is a dependent value, PARENT_FLEX_VALUE_LOW contains the independent value this value depends upon. Oracle Application Object Library does not use the PARENT_FLEX_VALUE_HIGH column. If ENABLED_FLAG contains N, this value is currently invalid, regardless of the start and end dates.

If ENABLED_FLAG contains Y, the start and end dates indicate if this value is currently valid.SUMMARY_FLAG indicates if this value is a parent value that has child values, and STRUCTURED_HIERARCHY_LEVEL contains the rollup group the parent value belongs to, if any (1 through 9). COMPILED_VALUE_ATTRIBUTES contains the compiled values of anysegment qualifiers assigned to this value. These values are in a special Oracle Application Object Library format, and you should never modify them.

VALUE_CATEGORY and ATTRIBUTE1 through ATTRIBUTE50 are descriptive flexfield columns, where VALUE_CATEGORY is the context (structure defining) column.

These descriptive flexfield columns do not contain values unless you have defined the descriptive flexfield at your site. You need one row for each independent, dependent or parent value belonging to a value set.Oracle Application Object Library uses this information to ensure that users enter valid values in flexfield segments

FND_FLEX_VALUE_HIERARCHIES stores information about child value ranges for key flexfield segment values. Each row includes an identification of the parent value the range belongs to, as well as the low and high values that make up the range of child values. FLEX_VALUE_SET_ID identifies the value set to which the parent value belongs. You need one row for each range of child values (you can have more than one row for each parent value). Oracle Application Object Library provides this information for applications reporting purposes.

Production to Development Refresh/Clone Parameter Change SQL Script. Big companies that follow Process oriented project management team, with multiple projects executed at phased manner, may face challenges during database refresh from production system to development or test systems. Many programs customized to connect to external systems such as lockbox servers, payment processing servers and other boundary server systems.

After every refresh, it is imperative to change the development systems to point to null or Development external test servers instead of production servers. If this is not done immediately after the database refresh, development data may accidentally reach the production external servers that cause havoc! For example, if some developers start automatic payment/receipt programs in DEV servers that connects to production payment processors, customers may get charged without any product shipped! This is illegal and I had seen, two times in last 10 years, which affects customer confidence!

We have created a simple table that stores development default values and production default values and a simple plsql block that reads the table and changes the default parameter depending on the instances. This can be a manual or automatic run after a refresh by DBAs. In many companies, this is maintained by DBAs. However, using this, Any one responsible can maintain the parameter and DBAs can run the script to change the values. We have even created a form to review, add, edit or delete. Currently, I am not providing the form (*.fmb) but the table and plsql block for your reference.

Sample Script to Debug the Procedure, Packages Running At Backend For mission critical operations with big – complex PLSQL packages, we may need to know the path or the way the data is processed. In such case, it is very hard to debug the flow. I had such situation many times and it is easy to implement a simple solution using a debug log table for future review purpose. Make sure you delete or purge the table often and also create a proper index on this table to avoid performance issues later. This procedure can be global or inside a package. With oracle applications, you can have an entry in FND_LOOKUP_VALUES so that you can enable or disable debug on the fly by setting the lookup_type ( = ‘ERROR MESSAGE’).

Here is the sample code that I have used to capture online payment system. This is very handy and useful especially for direct online payment system to debug the unauthorized credit or system generated credit cards.

How do I see the debug messages either in log file or output file in oracle applications?

When you register a concurrent programs, such plsql packages, you can display the debug outputs either at output file or log file or both depending on the api you use. There are two functions from fnd_file packages that can be used to display the debug messages.

fnd_file.put_line(FND_FILE.LOG,"This is logfile test");

fnd_file.put_line(FND_FILE.out,"This is output test");

How To Add Responsibility to USER using pl/sql? – Oracle Applications

If you have the Apps Password, its quite easy to create a FND_USER for yourself by using the API. I find this script very useful when development environment gets cloned from Production(that is when i do not have FND_USER in Production).

Please note that:-1. You will be allocated System Administrator by this script. Hence you can assign whatever responsibilities that you desire latter, after logging in.2. The password will be set to oracle

3. You need apps password to run this script. Alternately you need execute permission on fnd_user_pkg from the user where this script will be run. If using some other user, please use apps.fnd_user_pkg.createuser4. You need a COMMIT. I have not included the commit within this script.5. When running this script, you will be prompted to enter a user name.

Using the pl/sql you can add responsibility to any USER without having Application System Administrator Rights.First, get value for ‘Responsablity_Application_Short_Name’ and ‘Responsibility_Key’ Parameters you need to run following sql Statement by Using APPS User Name

SELECT FAV.APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME, FAV.APPLICATION_NAME,FRV.RESPONSIBILITY_KEY, FRV.RESPONSIBILITY_NAMEFROM FND_APPLICATION_VL FAV, FND_RESPONSIBILITY_VL FRVWHERE FRV.APPLICATION_ID=FAV.APPLICATION_IDORDER BY FRV.RESPONSIBILITY_NAME

To add Responsibility of “Receivables Manager” to User

BEGIN        fnd_user_pkg.addresp (‘’,‘AR’,‘RECEIVABLES_MANAGER’,‘STANDARD’,‘Add Responsibility to USER using pl/sql’,SYSDATE,SYSDATE + 100);        COMMIT;        DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line (‘Responsibility Added Successfully’);EXCEPTION        WHEN OTHERS        THEN        DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line (   ‘ Responsibility is not added due to ‘” SQLCODE” SUBSTR (SQLERRM, 1, 100));        ROLLBACK;END;

Another sample script to add System Administrator

DECLAREv_session_id INTEGER := userenv(’sessionid’);v_user_name VARCHAR2(30) := upper(‘&Enter_User_Name’);BEGIN–Note, can be executed only when you have apps password.– Call the procedure to Creaet FND Userfnd_user_pkg.createuser(x_user_name => v_user_name,x_owner => ”,x_unencrypted_password => ‘oracle’,x_session_number => v_session_id,x_start_date => SYSDATE – 10,x_end_date => SYSDATE + 100,x_last_logon_date => SYSDATE – 10,x_description => ‘www.notesbit.com’,x_password_date => SYSDATE – 10,x_password_accesses_left => 10000,x_password_lifespan_accesses => 10000,x_password_lifespan_days => 10000,x_employee_id => 30 /*Change this id by running below SQL*//*SELECT person_id,full_nameFROM per_all_people_f

WHERE upper(full_name) LIKE ‘%’ ” upper(’full_name’) ” ‘%’GROUP BY person_id,full_name*/,x_email_address => ‘admin@notesbit.com’,x_fax => ”,x_customer_id => ”,x_supplier_id => ”);fnd_user_pkg.addresp(username => v_user_name,resp_app => ‘SYSADMIN’,resp_key => ‘SYSTEM_ADMINISTRATOR’,security_group => ‘STANDARD’,description => ‘Auto Assignment’,start_date => SYSDATE – 10,end_date => SYSDATE + 1000);END;/

Following are the reference for the pl/sql package

Here Is A Sample Unix / Linux Script That Checks The Payment Settlement File And Acknowledgement File

I had an opportunity to work with Paymentech integration (oracle iPayment system) with oracle 11i aplications. Paymentech needs a settlement file from the source system, verifies all the transactions, and finally acknowledges back to the source with Acknowledgement Flag=”Y” at the end of each record. Unfortunately, the implementers did not follow the standard oracle practice and the system was not made with $XXCUS/ipayment/in, $XXCUS/ipayment/out and $XXCUS/ipayment/archive directories. Both settlement and acknowledgment files are located at the same place at $XXCUS/iPayment. During the course, it is hard to find whether the files are acknowledged or not. I wrote a simple UNIX / Linux shell script to identify the acknowledge file provide you give the settlement file. This is mainly used as debugging script.

The logic is take a record and find the unique portion (identity) of it from the source. Then using this grep all the files except the source file which contains the unique identity. If found, the source is acknowledge, else not acknowledge at the time of the program run. Finally it sends the not acknowledged source file listings by email to you.

Steps To Register Shell Script As A Concurrent Program

Oracle Applications – How to register Forms or Reports? Unix / Linux Secure Copy (SCP) usage and syntax How do you Create soft link with ln command in Linux / UNIX?

Simple K-shell (Linux,UNIX) program to monitor concurrent programs and provide feedback.

Oracle Applications: The Concurrent Jobs Ran Yesterday and Failed – SQL script & Unix Shell Script

There are two methods to handle, one with symbolic link another without symbolic link.

step 1: Place the .prog script under the bin directory for your applications top directory.For example, call the script SHELLDEMO.prog and place it under $XXCUS/bin

step 2: Make a symbolic link from your script to $FND_TOP/bin/fndcpesrFor example, if the script is called SHELLDEMO.prog use this:

ln -s $FND_TOP/bin/fndcpesr SHELLDEMO

This link should be named the same as your script without the .prog extension.Put the link for your script in the same directory where the script is located.

step 3: Register the concurrent program, using an execution method of ‘Host’. Use the name of your script without the .prog extensionas the name of the executable.For the example above: Use SHELLDEMO

step 4: Your script will be passed at least 4 parameters, from $1 to $4.

$1 = orauser/pwd$2 = userid(apps)$3 = username,$4 = request_id

Any other parameters you define will be passed in as $5 and higher. Make sure your script returns an exit status also.Sample Shell Script: First method uses symbolic link.

GL Date Move for Lockbox Records – Oracle Applications tips – SQL

Few companies have streamlined their operations to avoid GL_Date move. Moving GL date is very common fix in many companies, especially during the month end activities. Here is one of the requirements in which we need to move the gl_date of the lockbox records before creating the lockbox records.

The lockbox data is sent by banks very late evening. In addition, loading errors and the records errors are being fixed at night. However, General ledger period will be closed by 12 midnight. Hence, we are forced to move the gl_date for the future or open period.

It is wise to take a backup of the two tables. You need to run this as apps user or any user which has the privilege to run these scripts.

CREATE TABLE ar_transmissions_all_tmp AS SELECT * FROM ar_transmissions_all;

CREATE TABLE ar_payments_interface_all_tmp AS SELECT * FROM ar_payments_interface_all;

If you know the transmission name:

SELECT transmission_id FROM ar_transmissions_all WHERE transmission_name = ‘&&transmission_name’;

SELECT * FROM apps.ar_payments_interface_allWHERE 1=1AND transmission_id =  &&transmission_id;

UPDATE ar_payments_interface_allSET gl_date=to_date(‘&&Required_gl_date’,‘DD/MM/YYYY’), STATUS=NULLWHERE 1=1AND transmission_id =  &&transmission_id;

If you know the request id:

UPDATE ar_payments_interface_allSET gl_date=to_date(‘&&Required_gl_date’,‘DD/MM/YYYY’), STATUS=NULLWHERE 1=1AND transmission_request_id =  &&request_id;

Once you commit, you run the lockbox process, it loads the data with the required GL Date.

How to secure login with oracle SQL*Plus with a password On UNIX and Linux platforms.

Most of us sometimes start SQL * Plus with a password on UNIX and Linux platforms without knowing security threat.

For example, an application user connects SQL * Plus by passing username and password on Unix/Linux Server.

$ sqlplus apps/apps@proddb

Here the sqlplus command parameters are very much available for viewing by all operating system users on the same host computer; as a result, password entered on the command line could be exposed to other users, as below.

$ ps -efgrep sqlplusoracle 14490 2190 0 16:31:53 pts/5 0:00 sqlplus apps/apps@proddboracle 14493 14491 0 16:32:01 pts/5 0:00 grep sqlplus

So, there might be a chance for an intruder to know the user id and password, and can connect to the database using that credentials.

Then, following is the secure and best way of connecting SQL * Plus where the password is not exposed on the command line.

$ sqlplus apps@proddbEnter password: ****

Or, even not to expose the username and connecting string.

$ sqlplusEnter user-name: apps@proddbEnter password: ****

Or

$ sqlplus /nologSQL> connect apps@proddbEnter password: ****

And also, do not use the password while invoking Export/Import Utility using exp/imp command line, and for any other command line utilities which you think the password will be exposed to others.

On Microsoft Windows, the command recall feature (the Up arrow) remembers user input across command invocations.

For example, if you use the CONNECT APPS/password notation in SQL*Plus, exit, and then press the Up arrow to repeat the CONNECT command, the command recall feature discloses the connect string and shows the password. So, it is advice *NOT* to pass the password while connecting to SQL * Plus on windows as well.

Oracle Applications Schema Password Change Utility – (FNDCPASS) http://www.notesbit.com/index.php/author/admin/     17 March, 2009    14,354 views   

Changing passwords periodically helps ensure database security. Oracle Applications provides a command line utility, FNDCPASS, to set Oracle Applications schema passwords. In addition to changing the schema password in the database, this utility changes the password registered in Oracle Applications tables (FND Tables). This utility can also change Applications End User passwords.

FNDCPASS changes

Oracle Applications Database System Users (APPS, APPLSYS) Oracle Applications Product Schema Passwords (GL, AR, AP, etc,)

Oracle Applications End User Account Passwords (SYSADMIN, OPERATIONS etc)

Note: the utility, FNDCPASS, cannot be used for changing the database SYSTEM and SYS users. Only users that are registered in FND meta data tables need to be changed using FNDCPASS. Normally, the APPS database user password and APPLSYS password need to be the same. When changing the APPLSYS password using FNDCPASS, the APPS password is also changed.

Syntax of FNDCPASS command:

FNDCPASS logon 0 Y system/password mode username new_password

Where logon is username/password[@connect]System/password is password of the system account of that databaseMode is SYSTEM/USER/ORACLEUsername is the username where you want to change its passwordnew_password is the new password in unencrypted format

Example:

$ FNDCPASS apps/apps 0 Y system/manager SYSTEM APPLSYS WELCOME

$ FNDCPASS apps/apps 0 Y system/manager ORACLE GL GL1

$ FNDCPASS apps/apps 0 Y system/manager USER VISION WELCOME

Note: The FNDCPASS has a new mode, “ALLORACLE”, in which all Oracle Application schema passwords can be changed in one call. Apply the patch (Patch No# 4745998) to have this option, if not available currently with your Apps.

Syntax:

FNDCPASS 0 Y ALLORACLE

Example:

$ FNDCPASS apps/apps 0 Y system/manager ALLORACLE WELCOME

To change APPS/APPLSYS password, we need to give mode as SYSTEMTo change product schema passwords, i.e., GL, AP, AR, etc., we need to give mode as ORACLETo change end user passwords, i.e., SYSADMIN, OPERATIONS etc., we need give mode as USER

Note: Till 11.5.9 there is bug in FNDCPASS, which allows FNDCPASS to change APPS&APPLSYS passwords. Doing so will corrupt the data in FND meta data tables and cause to the application unusable. Because of that it is recommend taking backup of the tables FND_USER and FND_ORACLE_USERID before changing the passwords.

After changing the APPS/APPLSYS or APPLSYSPUB user, following extra manual steps needs to be done.

If you changed the APPS (and APPLSYS) password, update the password in these files:

iAS_TOP/Apache/modplsql/cfg/wdbsvr.app ORACLE_HOME/reports60/server/CGIcmd.dat

If you changed the APPLSYSPUB password, update the password in these files:

FND_TOP/resource/appsweb.cfg OA_HTML/bin/appsweb.cfg

FND_TOP/secure/HOSTNAME_DBNAME.dbc

Note: I would you suggest you to first try changing the passwords using FNDCPASS on your test Apps Instances, once you are done with this without any errors or issues then you can move this to production, and also request you to search in metalink for more information about FNDCPASS utility and it’s usage.

Note: With FNDCPASS you cannot decrypt the password, but can change the password only!

FNDLOADwhen we are working in oracle application development/implementation project? The equally important AOL data Migration takes place necessary to synchronize the data across databases instance during installation and upgarde.

Using FNDLOAD can download data from an application entity into an editable text file, which can be uploaded to another database.The Conversion between database format and text file format is specified by a configuration file.What can be Done?

·It can be done following list

· Concurrent Programs, Executables· Request Groups, Request Sets· Profile Options· Key and Descriptive Flexfields· Menus and Responsibilities· Forms and Form Functions· Attachments· Messages· Value Sets and Values· Lookup Types· User Responsibilities· Printer Definitions· FND Dictionary· Help Configuration· Document Sequences· Concurrent Manager Schedules

Advantages when using FNDLOAD 1. Because downloaded data is stored in a text file, version administration is possible2. No learning curve. this is relief for developer/dbas3. Fully supported and recommended by Oracle4. Capture the migrations in a file and use it during installations(log file).5. Pin-point when something happened and where (database) easily6. AOL data migration process is now simplified!

Disadvantages1. Applications patching mechanisms use FNDLOAD heavily possibility of negative impact is not zero2. No validation against migrating database/instance sensitive data

The Syntax To use FNDLOAD, the following syntax is needed.FNDLOAD apps/appspwd 0 Y mode configfile datafile entity [parameter1.....]· The mode is either DOWNLOAD or UPLOAD.· The configfile is the file that Fndload needs to download on upload data.· T he data file is the output file, in which the downloaded data is written· The entity is the entity you want to download,·

Receipt On Account & Unapplied – SQL Query

A cash receipt is an applied receipt if it is associated with a customer number and an open invoice(s).

An unapplied receipt is a cash receipt that can be applied to a customer account if it is associated with a customer number but not associated with an invoice (that is, there is no invoice for the sale or the invoice number is unknown).

An on-account receipt (cash-in-advance) is:

* recorded to the customer account* applied against the invoice when the invoice is generated

An unidentified receipt is from an unknown source.

An Application Advice Form is required for any receipt labeled as unidentified.

Here is the simple query to find the On-Account and UnApplied amount for a customer.

SELECT   NVL (SUM (DECODE (                         ara.STATUS,                         ‘ACC’, -amount_applied,                         0                       )), 0),                   NVL (SUM (DECODE (                         ara.STATUS,                         ‘UNAPP’, -amount_applied,                         0                       )), 0)              FROM ar_receivable_applications_all ara,                   ar_cash_receipts_all acr             WHERE ara.cash_receipt_id = acr.cash_receipt_id               AND acr.customer_site_use_id = ‘&&site_use_id’               AND ARA.STATUS IN ( ‘ACC’, ‘UNAPP’ )                                 AND ara.confirmed_flag IS NULL          GROUP BY acr.currency_code,                   acr.customer_site_use_id;

Total Credit related to a customer – sql query – Oracle Applications

What is the Credit Note for and when to use it ?

A Credit Note or Credit Memo is a document used to adjust or rectify errors made in a sales invoice which has already been processed and sent to a customer. If you have already sent an invoice to a customer but now need to provide a credit for that invoice, you would send them a Credit Note or Credit Memo. You can think of a credit note as a “negative invoice.”

Some examples of when you would use a Credit Note

* Unit price overcharged or over-billed : For example you issued an invoice for an item for $1100 when the correct price of the item should have been $1010 instead. Therefore you need to issue Credit Note to give a credit of $90 to your customer for the amount over-billed. View Sample* Goods short shipped : You invoiced a customer for 10 units of your product but only shipped 9 units to them by mistake. The customer then calls you to say that 9 units are okay and does not want the shortfall item at the moment. Therefore you need to issue a Credit Note to credit your customer for the

shortfall quantity of 1 unit. View Sample* Faulty goods returned or goods rejected by customer. You would issue a credit note for the goods returned to correct your Accounts Receivable and Inventory. View Sample* Product Wrongly Shipped : You wrongly invoiced and shipped Product A when the customer actually ordered Product B which may or may not be at a different price. To rectify this, you would then ship Product B together with a Credit Note for Product A and another invoice for product B. This will restore the inventory and Accounts Receivable in your books while billing the customer for the correct item and amount. Meanwhile the customer returns the incorrect Product A. View Sample* Discounts given after the invoice is issued: You sent an invoice for $1100. The customer then calls you asking for a discount and ask you to waive the $100 making the net invoice amount $1000. You agree to this in good faith. You would then issue a credit note for $100 to this customer to adjust for the discount given. View Sample* To Write-off Customer Short Payments : You send an invoice for say $2010. The customer sends you a short payment of $2000 only. You do not wish to recover the shortfall amount but your books indicate that $10 is still owing on this invoice. You can then issue a credit note of $10 to write-off the shortfall amount.

Here is the simple SQL script that gives the total credit for a customer in oracle applications.

SELECT   NVL (SUM (apsa.amount_due_remaining), 0)              FROM ar_payment_schedules_all apsa             WHERE apsa.customer_site_use_id = ‘&&site_use_id’               AND apsa.CLASS = ‘CM’               AND apsa.STATUS = ‘OP’          GROUP BY apsa.invoice_currency_code,                   apsa.customer_site_use_id;

Tuning & Performance – Gather Statistics importance

Oracle performance tuning – Gather Statistics:

Here is the one issue: I have same script using two tables as given below, running in two databases. The data, table names, indexes and the select statements are same. One database the query is running fast and another query is slow.

SELECT             MAS.site_use_id,         MAS.currency,         DET.customer_id    FROM table_master MAS,         table_detail DET   WHERE MAS.attribute1 = :Value     AND DET.pk_id = MAS.pk_id

     AND MAS.site_use_id = DET.site_use_idORDER BY MAS.site_use_id, MAS.currency;

In one database the scan is full table scan and in other uses index perfectly.

Then, what is wrong? The possible reason may be due to gather_statistics & estimation.You need to use the following gather statistics periodically.

exec DBMS_STATS.gather_index_stats(‘APPS’, ‘table_detail_N1′, estimate_percent => 30);

exec DBMS_STATS.gather_index_stats(‘APPS’, ‘table_detail_N2′, estimate_percent => 30);

Locks on oracle database & Oracle applications Processing. In a single-user database, the user can modify data in the database without concern for other users modifying the same data at the same time. However, in a multiuser database, the statements within multiple simultaneous transactions can update the same data. Transactions executing at the same time need to produce meaningful and consistent results. Therefore, control of data concurrency and data consistency is vital in a multiuser database.

* Data concurrency means that many users can access data at the same time.* Data consistency means that each user sees a consistent view of the data, including visible changes made by the user’s own transactions and transactions of other users.

In general, multiuser databases use some form of data locking to solve the problems associated with data concurrency, consistency, and integrity. Locks are mechanisms that prevent destructive interaction between transactions accessing the same resource.

How do we find locks?

DBA_DML_LOCKSDisplays a session if it is not waiting for a locked object but is holding a lock on an object for which another session is waiting.

col "O/SUser" FOR a10col OraUser FOR a20col Blocking FOR a12col ObjLocked FOR a15col sid FOR 99999999col pid FOR a8SELECT s.osuser "O/SUser", s.username "OraUser", s.sid "SID",s.serial# "Serial", s.process "PID", s.status "Status",l.name "ObjLocked",l.mode_held "Lock Held" FROM V$SESSION s,DBA_DML_LOCKS l,V$PROCESS pWHERE l.session_id = s.sid AND p.addr = s.paddr;

Just another way to find the locks

SELECT VLO.OS_USER_NAME “OS USERNAME”, VLO.ORACLE_USERNAME “DB USER”,VP.SPID “SPID”, AO.OWNER “OWNER”, AO.OBJECT_NAME “OBJECT LOCKED”,AO.OBJECT_TYPE,DECODE (VLO.LOCKED_MODE,1, ‘NO LOCK’,2, ‘ROW SHARE’,3, ‘ROW EXCLUSIVE’,4, ‘SHARE’,5, ‘SHARE ROW EXCL’,6, ‘EXCLUSIVE’,NULL) “MODE OF LOCK”,VS.STATUS “CURRENT STATUS”FROM V$LOCKED_OBJECT VLO, ALL_OBJECTS AO, V$SESSION VS, V$PROCESS VPWHERE VLO.OBJECT_ID = AO.OBJECT_ID

AND VS.STATUS <> ‘KILLED’AND VLO.SESSION_ID = VS.SIDAND VS.PADDR = VP.ADDR;

FND_GLOBAL: WHO Column Maintenance and Database Initialization – Oracle Applications

The server-side package FND_GLOBAL returns the values of system globals, such as the login/signon or “session” type of values. You need to set Who columns for inserts and updates from stored procedures. Although you can use the FND_GLOBAL package for various purposes, setting Who columns is the package’s primary use.

You should not use FND_GLOBAL routines in your forms (that is on the client side), as FND_GLOBAL routines are stored procedures in the database and would cause extra roundtrips to the database. On the client side, most of the procedures in the FND_GLOBAL package are replaced by a user profile option with the same (or a similar) name. You should use FND_PROFILE routines in your forms instead.

Following are the FND_GLOBAL functions/Procedures

FND_GLOBAL.USER_ID;

FND_GLOBAL.APPS_INITIALIZE(user_id IN number, resp_id IN number, resp_appl_id IN number);

FND_GLOBAL.LOGIN_ID;

FND_GLOBAL.CONC_LOGIN_ID;

FND_GLOBAL.PROG_APPL_ID;

FND_GLOBAL.CONC_PROGRAM_ID ;

FND_GLOBAL.CONC_REQUEST_ID

How do you check the profile option values using sql – Oracle Applications?

Profile Options provide flexibility to Oracle Apps. They are a key component of Oracle Applications, hence these much be understood properly. I will be taking multiple examples here to explain what profile options mean. I will also try to explain by stepping into Oracle shoes “How will you design a program that is flexible”, by using Profile Options. These are provided to keep the application flexible. The business rules in various countries and various companies can be different. Hence the profile options are delivered by Oracle in such a manner to avoid hard-coding of logic, and to let the implementation team at site decide the values of those variables

This simple sql will provide you the profile option value for an user in oracle applications. You can modify the query easily to get site level, responsibility level profile option check.

Assumption: User name and profile partial or full input required for this user level profile option value listing query.

How to check the user level in oracle? 10004 level_id shows user level profile option.

Column Description

Profile LevelLevel 1 = Site ( level_id=10001)Level 2 = Application ( level_id=10002)

Level 3 = Responsibility ( level_id=10003)Level 4 = User ( level_id=10004)

Site In case of site level value, it has the value ‘SITE’

Application Level In case of application level value, it has the name of the application

Responsibility Level

In case of responsibility level value, it has the name of the responsibility

User Level In case of user level value, it has the name of the user

Profile Name Profile Option name

Profile Option Value Value of the Profile Option

Source Module Related source module. E.g. ADI profile options belong to General Ledger module

Last Update Date Last update date

Update By User name who performed the last update

How can we find the receipts related to a transmission?

Every lockbox loading has a transmission name in oracle applications.How can we find the receipts stuck or related to a transmission if they stored in interface?Note: If you have setup to purge/delete the interface records after successful receipts, you may not get the receipts with this query.

SELECT transmission_id FROM                       Ar_transmissions_all                    WHERE transmission_name =‘wirep.05041908361_1′; – transmissionName is wirep.05041908361_1

SELECT * FROM AR_PAYMENTS_INTERFACE            WHERE  transmission_id IN (                      SELECT transmission_id FROM                       Ar_transmissions_all                    WHERE transmission_name =‘wirep.05041908361_1′); – transmissionName is wirep.05041908361_1

Receipt API in Oracle Receivables

Autolock box provides a functionality to create receipts using interface method. Recent versions of oracle applications, especially 11.5 onwards, Receipt API is getting used as they are flexible to the user’s need, and customization across all kinds of interfaces, loading.

Here are the receipt APIs used in 11i applications:

ar_receipt_api_pub.Create_cashar_receipt_api_pub.Applyar_receipt_api_pub.Unapplyar_receipt_api_pub.Reversear_receipt_api_pub.Apply_on_accountar_receipt_api_pub.Unapply_on_accountar_receipt_api_pub.Activity_applicationar_receipt_api_pub.Activity_unapplicationar_receipt_api_pub.Apply_other_account

How to run a unix host command from oracle plsql package? http://www.notesbit.com/index.php/author/admin/     16 February, 2009    24,056 views   

Often you will come across a situation in which you need to execute unix commands from plsql packages. If a simple utility exists to run unix command within plsql that simplifies your life instead of changing the design or finding an alternate approach to meet the goal. Oracle has provided a utility dbms_pipe run the UNIX host command from sql, plsql.

Here are the sample script to run the host_command.

SELECT apps.host_command(‘ls -ltr’)  FROM dual

SELECT apps.host_command(‘chmod 777 /devel/appl/xxcus/1.0.0/bin/filename’) FROM dual

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION host_command( cmd IN VARCHAR2 )  RETURN INTEGER IS    STATUS   NUMBER;    errormsg VARCHAR2(80);    pipe_name VARCHAR2(30);BEGIN    pipe_name := ‘HOST_PIPE’;    dbms_pipe.pack_message( cmd );

    STATUS := dbms_pipe.send_message(pipe_name);    RETURN STATUS;END;/

Validate the credit card (oracle 10 g plsql code) – working! The Luhn algorithm or Luhn formula, also known as the “modulus 10″ or “mod 10″ algorithm, is a simple checksum formula used to validate a variety of identification numbers, such as credit card numbers and Canadian Social Insurance Numbers.

Recently, Oracle has stopped validating the credit card numbers as there is match for Authorization of credit card. However, this rudimentary mod-10 LUHN algorithm is still valid and valuable for us to check.

Hence, I started creating this mod-10 LUHN algorithm in plsql. This is tested with oracle 10 g database and working well. Special Thanks to ashish who has fixed the bug and tested the code.

Simple PL/SQL script to remove the unwanted non-ascii characters from oracle or 11i database. This is an oracle function to remove extended ASCII code

Some of the fields are copied and pasted into oracle applications that comes with non-ascii characters.In such situation, the concurrent program fails and tracing the failure is really challenging issue.These characters are not visible while review. In some cases, data migration from sql server produces \0 (null) characters.

Here is plsql script that removes unwanted non-ascii characters from the data fields. Tested and working in 11i applications and oracle 10g database.

Handy tkprof sql creating script using bash shell unix, linux with oracle environment Oracle gives you this program called TKProf that reads your trace file and spits out somewhat meaningful output. My favorite option to tkprof is sort=prsela,fchela,exeela. This sorts the statements from longest running to shortest running. I prefer this format because I can concentrate on the top two or three statements for the most impact.

By tracing, I mean capturing all the SQL in a user’s session, or a SQL trace. As you can tell from the Oracle Performance Tuning Guide and Reference, there are many ways to enable tracing. Below are two methods I use as a DBA in my day-to-day routine.

Here is the script I often used to find the sql script using oracle trace utility for oracle applications forms, reports. Change the user id, password and database name to suit your environment.

Download TKprof shell script

#!/bin/sh#***********************************************# Script Name: tkp## Developed by #***********************************************# This script get the trace file name as argument and creates a tkprof file required for oracle analysis## Usage : tkp "oracle_trace_file"## Assumption: The oracle home environment set properly #             The trace file suffix is .trc and is not provided as parameter argument#             tkprof utility – unix – installed and oracle_home and path environment variables set#             user id = apps, and password = apps#***********************************************if [ $@ > 0 ]thentkprof $1.trc $1.tkprof sort=exeela,fchela,prsela explain=apps/apps@PRODUCTIONelseecho ‘Usage : tkp "oracle_trace_file"’fi

Sometimes, a session is already underway and you need to start a trace midway through it’s execution. Here, you need to be a DBA and enable the 10046 event in the user’s session. This is a little more tricky since you have to know the sid and serial# from v$session in order to enable the tracing. For example,

SQL> SELECT sid, serial#, username2  FROM v$session3  WHERE username = ‘JEFFH’;

     SID    SERIAL# USERNAME———- ———- ——————————      25          5 JEFFH

SQL> exec sys.dbms_system.set_ev(25, 5, 10046,8,”);

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

Statements get written to the trace file when they are first encountered after the trace is started. The statement that is executing may not be in the final trace file.

Trace with TKProfPARAMETERSYou need 2 database parameters to trace sessions: TIMED_STATISTICS and USER_DUMP_DEST.

TIMED_STATISTICS should be TRUE to use statistics.Also possible so set this in a session:SQL> ALTER SESSION SET TIMED_STATISTICS=TRUE;

USER_DUMP_DEST points to the directory on the server where the tracefiles are being written.

Enable traceYou can enable tracing in the following ways:SQL*Plus:SQL> alter session set sql_trace true;

PL/SQL:dbms_session.set_sql_trace(TRUE);

DBASQL> execute sys.dbms_system.set_sql_trace_in_session(sid,serial#,TRUE);with: sid en serial# from the query:Select username, sid, serial#, machine from v$session;

Oracle forms:start forms with f45run32.exe statistics=yesor make a PRE-FORM trigger with the statement:forms_ddl(’alter session set sql_trace true’);

Oracle reports:BEFORE-REPORT trigger with statement:srw.do_sql(’alter session set sql_trace true’);

PRO*CEXEC SQL ALTER SESSION SET SQL_TRACE TRUE;

Use TKPROFTo make a tracefile readable, you need TKProf. Use the following command on the server:TKPROF tracefile exportfile [explain=username/password] [table= …] [print= ] [insert= ] [sys= ] [record=..] [sort= ]

The statements between brackets are optional. Their meaning is:explain=username/password: show an executionplan.table= schema.tabelnaam : use this table for explain planprint=integer restrict the number of shown SQL-statements.insert=bestandsnaam Show SQL-statements and data within SQL statements

sys = NO Don’t show statements that are executed under the SYS-schema. Most of the times these are recursive SQL-statements that are less interesting.Aggregate=NO Don’t aggregate SQL-statments that are executed more than once.sort= Sort the SQL-statements. The option is made up of 2 parts:part1:Prs Sorteer op parse-valuesExe Sorteer op executie-valuesfch Sorteer op fetch-values

Part 2:Cnt Sort on number of callsCpu Sort on CPU-usageEla Sort on elapsed timeDsk Sort on disk-readsQry Sort on consistent readsCu Sort on current readsMis Sort on library cache missesrow Sort on number of processed rows

I think Oracle uses tkprof as an acronym for Tom Kyte, Professor!

LUHN Algorithm Logic Algorithm for the Luhn Formula

LUHN Algorithm in C# (Validate Credit Card)

Credit Card validation LUHN algorithm using C

LUHN Algorithm – Validate credit card – in PHP

Validate the credit card (plsql code)!

Here’s how the algorithm for the Luhn formula works. Starting with a given credit card number,

1 2 3 4 – 5 6 7 8 – 9 0 1 2 – 3 4 5 2

we reverse the number, removing any non-numeric characters, to create a new string of digits like this (note that the checksum is now the first digit):

2 5 4 3 2 1 0 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1

Now we’ll look at each individual digit. Starting with the second digit in the string, we double every other number. The others are left alone.

2 5 4 3 2 1 0 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1

This creates a new string of digits shown here:

2 10 4 6 2 2 0 18 8 14 6 10 4 6 2 2

Finally, we go through this new string and add up each single digit to produce a total. In other words, for this example, we don’t add 2 + 10 + … but 2 + 1 + 0 + … instead:

2 + 1 + 0 + 4 + 6 + 2 + 2 + 0 + 1 + 8 + 8 + 1 + 4 + 6 + 1 + 0 + 4 + 6 + 2 + 2 = 60

Use your browser’s

View Source

option to see the full source code.

If this sum is an integer multiple of 10 (e.g., 10, 20, 30, 40, 50,…) then the card number is valid, as far as the checksum is concerned.

Here is the JavaScript code to sum the digits, where

r

represents the card number as a string of digits already in reverse order.

// Run through each single digit to create a new string. Even digits // are multiplied by two, odd digits are left alone.

t = ""; for (i = 0; i < r.length; i++) { c = parseInt(r.charAt(i), 10); if (i % 2 != 0) c *= 2; t = t + c; }

// Finally, add up all the single digits in this string.

n = 0; for (i = 0; i < t.length; i++) { c = parseInt(t.charAt(i), 10); n = n + c; }

Once the sum is found, the code checks to see if it’s an even multiple of ten (i.e., n % 10 leaves no remainder).

// If the resulting sum is an even multiple of ten (but not zero), the // card number is good.

if (n != 0 && n % 10 == 0)

return true; else return false;}

Programming Note

You may have noticed that the checksum digit (2) is included in the sum. Rather than adding up the other digits and calculating the valid checksum value for comparison, it’s included in the total to save some programming steps.

In other words, if you were creating a new card number and wanted to find the right checksum digit, you’d total up the other digits as shown above except that you wouldn’t have the initial digit (2).

1 + 0 + 4 + 6 + 2 + 2 + 0 + 1 + 8 + 8 + 1 + 4 + 6 + 1 + 0 + 4 + 6 + 2 + 2 = 58

Using the total (58) you’d take the next highest number that is evenly divisible by ten and subtract the total from this to produce the proper checksum digit (60 – 58 = 2 in this case).

If the total was already an even multiple of ten, say 70, the checksum would simply be zero.

To save a couple of steps in the code, the checksum digit is included in the calculation so that the sum should be an integer multiple of ten.

How To Extract,Using Bash/Unix/Linux Shell Scripting, The Oracle Data Like Excel Report And Send As Email Attachment?

This script provides an sample, and then the practical example to connect to oracle database, extract data like excel sheet and attach it with an email list.

First connecting is done with “sqlplus -s $FCP_LOGIN” in silent mode.Then EOF marks the begining of sql statement and another EOF marks end of it.The chr(9) provides the tab required to make this as excel sheet.In fact, it creates a csv file with tab delimited entry.Since the filename ‘FILENAME=”Credit_Card_Failure_Report.xls”‘ ends with xls sheet, when the user opens the file, it automatically converts into excel sheet.The UUENCODE attaches the file as email attachment.

How To Extract,Using Bash/Unix/Linux Shell Scripting, The Oracle Data Like Excel Report And Send As Email Attachment?

Credit cards are loaded through interfaces. Oracle application, by default, accepts any value as this varchar2 format. However, the credit cards should be listed as a continuous number without any space or dashes or any special chars.

We can try to eliminate these at source using filter in loader control file. Still some of them elusive like termination char “\0″. This is common when the source of the data comes from mysql server or sybase.These are invisible naked eye. You can review this with dump command. This program identifies all the invisible or unwanted or special chars.

If there is any hit, then only it will send an email. Otherwise no emails sent. This is handled at “if [ $FILESIZE -gt 444 ]“. Without a hit it produces 444 bytes file.

Oracle Application Performance Tuning Scripts

One of the biggest responsibilities of a DBA is to ensure that the Oracle database is tuned properly. The Oracle RDBMS is highly tunable and allows the database to be monitored and adjusted to increase its performance.

One should do performance tuning for the following reasons:

* The speed of computing might be wasting valuable human time (users waiting for response);* Enable your system to keep-up with the speed business is conducted; and* Optimize hardware usage to save money (companies are spending millions on hardware).

Here are the oracle performance tuning scripts used in oracle applications.I will be adding more information about this scripts soon

Remember: They are used in oracle applications 11i version.

Tuning & Performance – Gather Statistics importance

Oracle performance tuning – Gather Statistics:

Here is the one issue: I have same script using two tables as given below, running in two databases. The data, table names, indexes and the select statements are same. One database the query is running fast and another query is slow.

SELECT             MAS.site_use_id,         MAS.currency,         DET.customer_id    FROM table_master MAS,         table_detail DET   WHERE MAS.attribute1 = :Value     AND DET.pk_id = MAS.pk_id     AND MAS.site_use_id = DET.site_use_idORDER BY MAS.site_use_id, MAS.currency;

In one database the scan is full table scan and in other uses index perfectly.

Then, what is wrong? The possible reason may be due to gather_statistics & estimation.You need to use the following gather statistics periodically.

exec DBMS_STATS.gather_index_stats(‘APPS’, ‘table_detail_N1′, estimate_percent => 30);

exec DBMS_STATS.gather_index_stats(‘APPS’, ‘table_detail_N2′, estimate_percent => 30);

Auto shipment notification to companies using oracle applications – Concurrent Job shell script The customer needs an automatic notification, like an alert, whenever a shipment goes through. A trigger is put in place to insert a shipment record in a custom table for better performance. A concurrent job – unix shell script is designed to run every 15 minutes to pickup the details and dispatch an email attachment to the group email of the receiving company. This uses a utility called mpack to attach the data-output with the email group. You can also use uuencode instead. Here the complete script that show the elegance of Shell script.

As you know, there may be other ways to hand this script. This is one of the ways! Feel free to copy and use it.

Set an OPERATING UNIT

In oracle applications, you have developed pl/sql code or sql code listed. If you are running as apps and sending the query with _ALL table, you get the data. However, if your query is a copy and paste from forms or reports that uses oracle applications view, you may not get the results. The reason is that these views and linked with operating unit specific. If you need the same results what you are getting when you are inside some operation unit, you need to set the operating unit in oracle environment profile. This can be archived by setting dbms_application_info.set_client_info as given below:

–– Set an OPERATING UNIT–begindbms_application_info.set_client_info(204);end;

The user guide gives “Your applications should set the name of the module and name of the action automatically each time a user enters that module. The module name could be the name of a form in an Oracle Forms application, or the name of the code segment in an Oracle Precompilers application. The action name should usually be the name or description of the current transaction within a module>”
