ORACLE ALERTS


Overview of Alerts:
Oracle Alerts facilitates the flow of information within the organization by letting us create entities called alerts to monitor the business information and to notify us of the information we want.

Oracle Alerts
·               Keeps us informed of the critical activities in the database.
·               Delivers the key information from applications, in the format we want.
·               Provides us with regular reports on database information.
·               Automate system maintenance, and routine online tasks.
Types of Alerts:
1.            Event Alert
2.            Periodic Alert
Event Alert: An Event Alert immediately notifies us of activity in the database as it occurs i.e. This type of 


alert will fire on a database event, such as an update or insert into a specified table.

Periodic Alert: A periodic Alert checks the database for information according to a schedule we
define.
Defining Periodic Alert:
Responsibility : Alert Manager, Vision Enterprises
Navigation : Alert → Define




       1. Choose the Application that owns the alert for example: Inventory.
2. Enter Name (for example XX_TEST1) for the alert.
3. Check Enabled flag – for activation of alert. You can leave it unchecked until you are ready to run the alert.
4. Choose Periodic tab. Enter the Frequency and Start Time you want the alert to run.
Select a frequency for your periodic alert from nine frequency options:
• On Demand—If you choose this frequency, Oracle Alert checks your periodic alert only when you specify. You do not have to fill in any other field in the Periodic Details block. You check on
demand alerts by using the Request Periodic Alert Check window.
• On Day of the Month—If you choose this frequency, Oracle Alert checks your alert on a monthly basis on the day number you enter in the Day field.
• On Day of the Week—If you choose this frequency, Oracle Alert checks your alert on the day of the week you enter in the Day field.
• Every N Calendar Days—If you choose this frequency, enter a value in the Days field. Oracle Alert considers every day a calendar day, and does not skip holidays.
• Every Day—Choosing this frequency is the same as choosing Every N Calendar Days and entering a value of 1 in the Days field.
• Every Other Day—Choosing this frequency is the same as choosing Every N Calendar Days and entering a value of 2 in the Days field.
• Every N Business Days—If you choose this frequency, enter a value in the Days field. Oracle Alert lets you choose your business days, but does not skip any holidays. A value of 1 indicates that Oracle Alert should check the alert every business day, and a value of 2 indicates that Oracle Alert should check the alert every other business day. If you enter 3 in the Days field, Oracle Alert checks your periodic alert every three business days.
For example, if you enable your alert on a Monday, Oracle Alert checks the alert first on that Monday, then on Thursday, then on the following Tuesday, then the following Friday, and so on.
• Every Business Day—Choosing this frequency is the same as choosing Every N Business Days and entering a value of 1 in the Days field.
• Every Other Business Day—Choosing this frequency is the same as choosing Every N Business Days and entering a value of 2 in the Days field.

6. Specify the number of days you want to keep the alert history logs in Keep Days.
7. Enter SQL statement in Select Statement.
Select statement must include an INTO clause that contains one output for each column selected by your Select statement.
For Example:
SELECT SEGMENT1,:DAYS
INTO &ITEM_NAME,&NDAYS
FROM MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_B
WHERE TRUNC(CREATION_DATE)=TRUNC(SYSDATE-:DAYS);
Identify inputs with a colon before the name (in above example :DAYS) and outputs with an ampersand (&)


before the name (in above example &ITEM_NAME, &NDAYS).
you may also import a SQL Select statement from a file in your operating system.
Choose Verify to parse the Select statement. The results will be displayed in a Note window.
Choose Run to execute the Select statement. It will display the number of rows returned in a Note window.


Save your work.

Re-Query the alert created and click on Alert Details Button.
The Alert Details window includes information such as which Application installations you want the alert to run against, what default values you want your inputs variables to use, and whatadditional characteristics you want your output variables to have.
The Alert Details window that appears contains three tabbed regions: Installations, Inputs, and Outputs.

In the Inputs tabbed region, Oracle Alert automatically displays the inputs used in your Select statement, unless they are the implicit.
Specify the Default Values for the inputs.






In the Outputs tabbed region, Oracle Alert automatically displays the outputs used in your alert Select statement without the ampersand (&).

In the Installations tabbed region,Oracle Alert automatically displays the Oracle ID that is associated with the application that owns your alert.
Specify the organization you want the alert to run against in the Operating Unit field.



Creating Alert Actions:
After defining a Period or Event alert, you need to create actions for the alert to perform. On the same alert form, click on Actions button.
1. Enter the Action Name for the Alert.
2. Select a level for Action: Detail, Summary or No Exception.
During an alert check, a detail action performs once for each individual exception found, a summary action performs once for all exceptions found, and a no exception action performs when no exceptions are found.
Choose Action Details button in Actions form. 

On the Action Details page, select the type of action you want to create in the Action Type field.
Depending upon the action level and type you choose, different fields appear in the Action Details window.
Message Action: To send a message as an action we create Message Actions.
Concurrent Program Actions: To run a concurrent program as an event action we create Concurrent Program Actions.
Operating Script Actions: To run an operating script as an event action create Operating Script Actions.
SQL Statement Script Actions: To run a SQL statement script as its action then create SQL Statement Script Actions.
Specify the electronic mail IDs of the recipients you want to send your message to in the To: field.
You can also enter the IDs of recipients to whom you want to send ”carbon” (Cc) and ”blind” (Bcc) copies of your alert message.
Specify the subject for the message in Subject field.
If you want to write your message in Oracle Alert, choose the Text option and enter the text in the Text field. (You can also click on the Import button and import the contents of a file into the Text field.)
You can include any outputs in the message text. (In the above screen shot you can see that ITEM_NAME is the output variable).

Save the Record.

Creating an Action Set:
Once you create your alert actions, you must include them in an enabled action set for Oracle Alert to perform during an alert check. An action set can include an unlimited number of actions and any combination of actions.
During each action set check, Oracle Alert executes each action set member in the sequence you specify.
Steps:
1.            Click on Action Set button in Alert main form and enter the Action Set Name and save the record.
2.            Re-Query the Alert and click on Action Set Button. You can see that input and output variables are 


automatically displayed in respective Input and Output tabs.

Note: At runtime, alert will use the values from the Action Sets form. If you want the alert to run for different


Input value then make changes in the Action Set Definition form.
3.            In the Members tab choose the Action you want the alert to perform.

Save the Record.

Running an Alert:
To manually run a Periodic Alert, Navigate to Request → Check
Enter the Application that owns the Alert
Enter the name of the Periodic Alert you want to check and submit the Request.

Once the concurrent program is done successfully navigate to Alert → History to review history.


Enter the Application that owns the Alert.
Enter the name of the Periodic Alert you want to view.
Oracle Alert automatically displays the alert type, the number of days of history kept, and when the alert was last checked.


Click on Find Checks button.

In this form it displays the history of action sets that were run: the date and time when the action set completed and the Oracle ID that the action set ran against.

In the Action Set Checks it displays the name of the Action set and the number of exceptions found and the number of actions performed.

Click on Find Exceptions in the History window.
In this form it displays the Exceptions found for each out put variable and their corresponding values.




Click on Find Actions button.

In this form it displays the action name, type of action and Finished time of the action.
It also displays the details of the recipient to whom the message was sent.

Defining Event Alert:
Responsibility : Alert Manager, Vision Enterprises
Navigation : Alert → Define

1. Choose the Application that owns the alert i.e. Inventory
2. Enter Name & Description for the alert
3. Check Enabled flag – for activation of alert. You can leave it unchecked until you are ready to run the alert
4. Choose Event tab.
5. Choose the Application and database table you want Oracle Alert to monitor.
6. Check After Insert and/or After Update if you want the event alert to run when a user inserts and/or updates a row in the database table.
7. Specify the number of days you want to keep the alert history logs in Keep Days.
8. Enter SQL statement in Select Statement
SELECT SEGMENT1, INVENTORY_ITEM_ID,:ROWID,:ORG_ID,:MAILID
INTO &ITEM_NAME, &item_id,&ROWID,&ORG_ID,&MAILID
FROM MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_B
WHERE TRUNC(LAST_UPDATE_DATE)=TRUNC(SYSDATE);

Choose Verify to parse the Select statement. The results will be displayed in a Note window.
Choose Run to execute the Select statement. It will display the number of rows returned in a Note window.

Creating Actions and Action sets for Event alert is same as Creating Actions and Action sets for Periodic alert.
Event alert gets checked when an insert or an update to an event table occurs.

Implicit Inputs:
Oracle Alert automatically displays values for the Implicit Inputs.
:ROWID, :MAILID, :ORG_ID and :DATE_LAST_CHECKED.
The values of the implicit inputs are as follows:
• ROWID—Contains the ID number of the row where the insert or update that triggers an event alert
occurs.
• MAILID—Contains the email user name of the person who enters an insert or update that triggers an
event alert.
• ORG_ID—Contains the organization ID that is selected when the alert runs.
• DATE_LAST_CHECKED—Contains the date and time that the alert was most recently checked.
For Example consider an Event Alert with the select statement:
SELECT SEGMENT1, INVENTORY_ITEM_ID,:ROWID,:ORG_ID,: DATE_LAST_CHECKED
INTO &ITEM_NAME, &item_id,&ROWID,&ORG_ID,& DATE_LAST_CHECKED
FROM MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_B
where TRUNC(LAST_UPDATE_DATE)=TRUNC(SYSDATE);
Text in the Action Details

Data Synchronization?
Data Synchronization is a process in which some setup data would be synchronized, and this would be more important when you are working in Oracle application development/implementation project. The equally important that ATG data Migration takes place necessary to synchronize the data across databases instance during
· Installations (New descriptive flex field creations etc)
· Upgrades (Apps upgrade etc.)
· Maintenance (Value set changes etc.)
Generic Loader (FNDLOAD)The Generic Loader (FNDLOAD) is a concurrent program that can move Oracle Applications data between database and text file representations. The loader reads a configuration file to determine what data to access. For information on specific configuration files consult the Open Interfaces Guide for your product group.
From an FNDLOAD perspective, there is absolute no limitation on parallel execution. Parallel upload of concurrent programs and responsibilities should through fine unless upload logic in LCT file restrict the same.
There is no way to limit the download of the value hierarchy data with the existing flexfield loader logic.
If this data is removed manually from the .ldt file generated when downloading data, the upload might error out as a result and this is NOT a supported method of using fndload and the corresponding generated data.
OverviewThe Generic Loader can download data from an application entity into a portable, editable text file. This file can then be uploaded into any other database to copy the data. Conversion between database store and file format is specified by a configuration file that is read by the loader.
The Generic Loader downloads data from a database according to a configuration (.lct) file, and converts the data into a data file (.ldt file). The Generic Loader can then upload this data to another database using a configuration file.
The loader operates in one of two modes: download or upload. In the download mode, data is downloaded from the database to a text file; in the upload mode, data is uploaded from a text file to the database.
Data structures supported by the loader include master-detail relationships and foreign key reference relationships.
In both downloading and uploading, the structure of the data involved is described by a configuration file. The configuration file describes the structure of the data and also the access methods to use to copy the data into or out of the database. The same configuration file may be used for both uploading and downloading.
When downloading, the Generic Loader creates a second file, called the data file that contains the structured data selected for downloading. The data file has a standard syntax for representing the data that has been downloaded. When uploading, the Generic Loader reads a data file to get the data that it is to upload. In most cases, the data file was produced by a previous download, but may have come from another source. The data file cannot be interpreted without the corresponding configuration file available.
What can be done? 
These are the extensive list which can be done through FNDLOAD
· Concurrent Programs, Executables
· Request Groups, Request Sets
· Profile Options
· Key and Descriptive Flexfields
· Menus and Responsibilities
· Forms and Form Functions/Personalizations
· Attachments
· Messages
· Value Sets and Values
· Lookup Types
· User Responsibilities
· Printer Definitions
· FND Dictionary
· Help Configuration
· Document Sequences
· Alerts
· Concurrent Manager Schedules
The FNDLOAD: Concurrent Program – FNDLOAD can be executed as a concurrent program.
Some advantages when using FNDLOAD1. Because downloaded data is stored in a text file, version administration is possible
2. There is nothing to worry to go to purchase because Investment = 0$
3. No learning curve. this is relief for developer and dba
4. Fully supported and recommended by Oracle
5. Capture the migrations in a file and use it during installations, clones etc. to migrate in batch
6. Pin-point when something happened and where (database) easily
7. Your AOL data migration process is now simplified and streamlined goal attained
Some disadvantages when using FNDLOAD1. Applications patching mechanisms use FNDLOAD heavily possibility of negative impact is not zero
2. UPLOAD_MODE=REPLACE only for menus
3. No validation against migrating database/instance sensitive data
SyntaxThe Generic Loader is a concurrent program named FNDLOAD. The concurrent executable takes the following parameters:
FNDLOAD apps/pwd 0 Y mode configfile datafile entity [ param ...]
where
pwd>The APPS schema and password in the form username/password[@connect_string]. If
connect_string is omitted, it is taken in a platform-specific manner from the environment
using the name TWO_TASK.
< 0 Y >Concurrent program flags.
mode
UPLOAD or DOWNLOAD. UPLOAD causes the datafile to be uploaded to the database. DOWNLOAD causes the loader to fetch rows and write them to the datafile.

The configuration file to use (usually with a suffix of .lct, but not enforced or supplied by the loader).

The data file to write (usually with a suffix of .ldt, but not enforced or supplied by the loader). If the data file already exists, it will be overwritten.

The entity(ies) to upload or download. When uploading, always upload all entities, so specify a “-” to upload all entities.
< [param] >Zero or more additional parameters are used to provide bind values in the access SQL (both UPLOAD and DOWNLOAD). Each parameter is in the form NAME=VALUE. NAME should not conflict with an attribute name for the entities being loaded.
Modes of OperationThis is important because it would drive the whole flow, and it always be either Upload or Download.
Example of downloadFNDLOAD apps/pwd 0 Y DOWNLOAD ${FND_TOP}/patch/115/import/afcpprog.lct myfile.ldt \ PROGRAM CONCURRENT_PROGRAM_NAME= concurrent_program_short_name> APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME=
Example of UploadFNDLOAD apps/pwd 0 Y UPLOAD ${FND_TOP}/patch/115/import/afcpprog.lct myfile.ldt – CUSTOM_MODE=FORCE undocumented parameter
What are FNDLOAD Options?· Application level OR single entity level download
o (Example) Download all the profile options of Inventory or just the INV: Default Primary UOM
· Entire OR Partial upload of a data file
o (Example) Upload the entire myfile.ldt or just a single entity indicated by – and mode UPLOAD or UPLOAD_PARTIAL
o Entity name required for UPLOAD_PARTIAL mode
· Custom mode force update
o To override Oracle’s upload algorithm and update the custom AOL data regardless, use CUSTOM_MODE= FORCE
o UPLOAD_MODE= REPLACE (only for menus)
· Support for NLS uploads
o NLS data uploads for translated columns are supported, use UPLOAD_MODE= NLS
Where is Configuration File LocatedBy default Oracle delivers most of configuration files that can be used to download certain entities.
· Configuration files with extension .lct
o On Unix – all the configuration files are in $FND_TOP/patch/115/import directory
o On Unix Oracle also places the original configuration files in $FND_TOP/admin/import directory
· Data files with extension .ldtFNDLOAD File Structure 
· The configuration files (.lct) are delivered and maintained by Oracle.
· It has entity definitions, parent-child relationships and user input parameters identified by :NAME.
· Downloading a parent automatically downloads all children – (Example) Concurrent Program download.
· The data files (.ldt) have both entity definition and the data.
· It also shows the version and the location of the configuration file (.lct) that was used.
· Without the configuration file, a data file is useless.
· Without the data file, a configuration file is meaningless.
FNDLOAD Files· Key files: .lct and .ldt
· FNDLOAD must be run as the apps user not as applsys or any other user, otherwise an Ora-6550 error will be received.
· Both are easily readable, editable and portable.
· Do not modify Oracle .lct files.
· Use a favorite editor to manipulate only the .ldt files but be cautious about data type, length, delimiter placements etc.
· Use the log file outputs or .ldt file contents creatively for quick file comparisons and answer questions as: (Why can this be accessed? What is that profile option name, value and level? What is the value set used for that DFF segment attribute10 etc.)
· Partial string searches (which value set has Priority something in its where clause, etc)

Notes:
1. Give special attention when downloading Menus or Responsibilities. In the case for several developers modifying Responsibilities and Menus, then be very careful. Not being careful will mean that untested Forms, Functions, and Menus will become available in the clients Production environment besides the tested Forms, Functions, and Menus.
2. Be very careful when downloading flexfields that reference value sets with independent values for GL Segment Codes. By doing so, downloading and extracting all the test data in GL Codes that might not be applicable for production.
3. There are several variations possible for FNDLOAD. For example, restricting the download and upload to specific segments within Descriptive Flexfields.
4. FNDLOAD is very reliable and stable, if used properly.
5. Please test the FNDLOAD properly, so as to ensure that no unexpected data occurs.
6. As the name suggests, FNDLOAD is usedful for FND related objects. However, in any implementation, it’s required to migrate the Setups in Financials and Oracle HRMS from one environment to another. Oracle iSetup can be used for this. Some of the things that can be migrated using Oracle iSetup are GL Set of Books, HR Organization Structures, HRMS Employees, Profile Options Setup, Suppliers, Customers, Tax Codes & Tax Rates, Financials Setup, Accounting Calendars, Chart of Accounts, GL Currencies.


The Generic Loader (FNDLOAD) is a concurrent program that can transfer Oracle Application entity data between database and text file.The loader reads a configuration file to determine which entity to access.
