11 R12 Client ADI is De-Supported Oracle Support Note advises that Client/Server ADI is not supported for R12 All FSG within Oracle is being moved to BI Publisher and Report Manager for General Ledger no longer refers to Client ADI, but instead directs users to use preconfigured Web-ADI for Journal Uploads, Budget Uploads.

12 R12 New Web ADI is repackaged as Desktop Integrator As well as pre-packaged integrators, provides to now build custom integrators to load data to ANY interface table or API

13 a Custom Integrator: Prepara@on BNE% Profile Op@ons Profile Name BNE Server Log Level BNE Server Log Path BNE Servlet Path BNE UIX Base Path BNE UIX Physical Directory BNE Upload Import Directory BNE Upload Staging Directory BNE Upload Text Directory Value Trace $BNE_TOP/log /oa_servlets/ /OA_HTML/cabo $COMMON_TOP/webapps/oacore/html/cabo/ $BNE_TOP/upload/import $BNE_TOP/upload $BNE_TOP/upload

14 a Custom Integrator: Prepara@on Replace $BNE_TOP and $COMMON_TOP with the actual values With DBA assistance, check the following directories exist with 777 permissions $BNE_TOP/log $COMMON_TOP/webapps/oacore/html/cabo $BNE_TOP/upload/import $BNE_TOP/upload

15 a Custom Integrator: Prepara@on Most important Once these profile op@ons have been updated, bounce the ENTIRE instance Assign your user two responsibili@es Desktop Integra@on Manager Desktop Integra@on

16 a Custom Integrator: Prepara@on Microsoc Excel setup You must Trust Access to Visual Basic Project You must allow Macros to run

17 a Simple Custom Integrator No valida@on of data in the integrator No look-ups No content No custom upload parameters User enters ALL data

18 a Simple Custom Integrator 1. Create the Integrator 2. Define the Integrator Layout 3. Start Loading Data

19 Create the Integrator Responsibility: Desktop Manager Create Integrator

20 Enter Integrator

21 Enter Integrator Integrator Name The name of the integrator as the user will see it Internal Name The name of the integrator as the system sees it The name of the module that owns the interface table

22 Security Rules First Gotcha (No of Security Rules in and Manual) Add two Security Desktop Create Document (Code: BNE_ADI_CREATE_DOCUMENT) Create Document (Code: BNE_CREATE_DOCUMENT)

23 Create the Interface

24 Create the Interface Interface Name What you will refer to the interface name as Interface Type Select from Table, API Procedure, API Table Name Select the Table Name you will be data GOTCHA #2 Click on APPLY!

25 Create the Interface

26 Create the Interface Once you ve clicked on Apply, every column from the table will be displayed here Best PracKce Use forms to increase number of rows returned (25 per page by default!) Best PracKce the Required Fields, and the fields you want. Best PracKce Set every other field listed to not display

27 Create Content

28 Create Uploader List

29 Create Uploader List Uploader List (new in R12.1.3) allows you to specify what are available to the user upon upload What rows to upload (all, flagged, etc) How the rows are validated Whether to invoke an import process

30 Define Importer List

31 Define Importer List Importer List allows you to specify how to move uploaded data from interface tables to base tables Allows you to apply rules to apply before import to base tables

32 Define the Layout Responsibility: Desktop Manager Define Layout

33 Define the Layout

34 Define the Layout Select the Integrator for which you are defining the layout Over 225 seeded integrators will also show in this list

35 Create the Layout

36 Create the Layout Layout Name You can have Desktop Layouts for the same integrator Number of Header Records Dependent on what you re trying to accomplish with the data you re loading

37 Create the Layout

38 Create the Layout Here, you can control where fields appear (Header or lines) Example AP Invoice Headers import Unit could be the same for all invoice headers Invoice Currency could be the same for all invoice headers Vendor would be different for each invoice header

39 Create the Layout You can also default in here, whether it s constant, derived by SQL, on an environment variable Default Invoice currency to USD Default User informa@on Created By : FND_GLOBAL.USER_ID Last Updated By: FND_GLOBAL_ID Last Update Login: FND_GLOBAL.LOGIN_ID Crea@on Date: SYSDATE Last Update Date: SYSDATE

40 Create the Layout GOTCHA #3 Updates to the layout and integrators will not always show up once you ve saved an requeried the layout DBA s will need to clear Java cache on the instance acer EVERY change, or assign yourself Func@onal Administrator responsibility, and clear the Cache yourself!!

41 Start Loading Data! Responsibility: Desktop Create Document

52 More than the Basics List of Values Manage Integrators Select the Integrator Select the Interface Page Update the axribute for List of Values

53 More than the Basics List of Values

54 More than the Basics List of Values Label Type ID Column Meaning Column Desc Column Where Clause Component Name LOV Type Value Table LOOKUP_CODE LOOKUP_CODE DESCRIPTION FND_LOOKUP_VALUES_VL (Nvl('', Territory_Code) = Territory_Code Or Territory_Code Is Null) And Lookup_Type = 'INVOICE TYPE' And (Lookup_Type='INVOICE TYPE') And (View_Applica@on_Id=200) And (Security_Group_Id=0) And Enabled_Flag = 'Y' XXPC AP Invoice Type Standard
