WHAT’S NEW? The additions and improvements to NoetixViews 6.0.1 for Oracle E-Business Suite are as follows:

Support for standard views, XOP views, upgrades reintroduced. NoetixViews 6.0, in which global views were introduced for several Oracle modules, had certain limitations. The version supported only the global form of the views, and upgrades to version 6.0 were not possible. Oracle E-Business Suite 12.0.4 and 12.0.5 and Oracle Database 9.2 were not supported. Now, in NoetixViews 6.0.1, all of these previously listed limitations have been removed.

Incremental refresh capability for key flexfield data cache tables introduced. In NoetixViews 6.0, as part of the support of key flexfields in global views, data cache tables were used to store the segment values and descriptions for the structures of key flexfields other than the Personal Analysis key flexfield. Concurrent Manager jobs were provided for fully refreshing the data in these tables. However, during the full refresh, the global reports that include data from key flexfields are unavailable. Now, in NoetixViews 6.0.1, these data cache tables can also be refreshed incrementally, and Concurrent Manager jobs have been provided for this purpose. This capability will be useful when the global reports that include data from key flexfields must always be available, and when the data cache tables need to be frequently refreshed.

Global views, row-level security available for users of Cognos BI. In NoetixViews 6.0.1, with the use of Noetix Generator 3.0 for Cognos BI, the global views can be generated according to an intuitive presentation model into the meta-layer for Cognos BI. This presentation model is in addition to those that were developed during the last release for Noetix WebQuery (NWQ), Oracle Discoverer, and Oracle Business Intelligence (Oracle BI). The BI Tool User Registration tab of the Security Manager dialog box can be used for registering users of Cognos BI as Noetix query users of the Oracle E-Business Suite Authenticated User (Type A) type; consequently, the data access privileges of the Noetix query user will be enforced on reports run by the Cognos BI users. The Noetix Responsibility Tool can be used by Cognos BI users to set the responsibility they want in effect when they run reports against the global views for Oracle Advanced Benefits, Oracle General Ledger, Oracle Human Resources, Oracle Payroll, and Oracle Time and Labor. The tool can also be used for registering Cognos BI users as Type A users. For information, see the documentation for NoetixViews.

KNOWN ISSUES For the latest information on known issues for this release, see the Noetix online knowledge base.

The known issues in NoetixViews 6.0.1 for Oracle E-Business Suite are as follows:

Columns in PO% views return null value for Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1.3. On account of the changes introduced for Purchasing in Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1.3, the Tax_Name column in the following views returns the null value: • PO_All_Shipments • PO_PO_Shipment_Changes • PO_PO_Shipments • PO_Quotation_Details • PO_Rfq_Details • PO_Undelivered_Items Additionally, the Shipment_Tax_Name column in the PO_Requisition_Line_Pos view will also return the null value. This issue will be fixed in a future release. [25527]

MSC% views return incorrect data for Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1.3. When Oracle Rapid Planning is used in Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1.3, Oracle Advanced Supply Chain Planning views return incorrect data. This issue will be fixed in a future release. [25532]

PA_Labor_Expenditures, PA_Org_Labor_Expenditures do not return some records. The views do not return some records when the dates of the labor expenditures incurred by an employee do not fall within the period for an active assignment of the employee. [17774]

Performance of Noetix views affected on Oracle Database 10g. After Oracle Database is upgraded to version 10g, the performance of Noetix views and queries that are built on these views may deteriorate, especially when the number of records to be returned is huge and the views for Oracle Receivables are used. The degradation of performance is because of changes that have been made to the cost-based optimizer, which in turn increase the number of full table scans that are performed. For a workaround, the working of the cost-based optimizer can be modified at the session or query level. For more information about the workaround, see Answer ID 1748 on the Noetix online knowledge base. [17908]

BOM_Current_Structured_Bills, BOM_Current_Summary have performance issues. The views have performance-related issues and take a long time to return records. For more information, contact Noetix Technical Support. [18791]

Columns in Payroll views do not return data after payroll run process. On account of a change introduced by Oracle HRMS Family Pack I, the Date_Earned, Payroll_Period, Period_End_Date, and Period_Start_Date columns in the following views will not return information after the payroll run process: • PAY_Check_Register • PAY_Gross_To_Net_Summary (This view does not contain the Payroll_Period column.) • PAY_Payment_Register • PAY_Third_Party_Register • PAY_Void_Payments This problem occurs because the DATE_EARNED column in the PAY_PAYROLL_ACTIONS table of Oracle E-Business Suite is not being populated. For information about the fix or workaround to this known issue, see Bug 5722491 on Oracle MetaLink. [19223]

EAM_Asset_Hierarchies returns duplicate records. The EAM_Asset_Hierarchies view returns duplicate records. [21049]

Views for Assets return multiple records. When the Merge Mass Additions and Split Mass Additions processes are performed on invoice distribution lines to create combined and multiple assets and adjust costs in the existing assets, the FA_Asset_Invoices, FA_GL_Invoice_Trans_Je, and FA_Invoice_Trx_SLA_GL_Je views return multiple records. [21320]

Error in generating .hlp file on Windows 7, Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista. While generating the Noetix Help File in Microsoft WinHelp format on a computer running Windows 7, Windows Server 2008, or Windows Vista, an error message similar to the following is displayed: “HC4008: Warning: Cannot file or load FTSRCH.DLL. Hall compression turned off.” For a workaround to this issue, see Microsoft Support article 917607. [16542]

Standard views for Inventory do not return data for inactive organizations. When inactive organizations are present in the Oracle E-Business Suite setup, the number of records returned by the standard form of the Oracle Inventory views may not match with that of the records returned by the global and Cross Operations Extension (XOP) forms of the views This happens because the standard form of the Inventory views does not return data for inactive organizations. [22214]

XOP views do not return all data for POs handled by multiple organizations. Oracle E-Business Suite 11.5.10 introduced a feature that permits a purchase order (PO) to be handled in multiple organizations. In other words, an organization can enter a requisition for the PO, but it may be received by a different organization. Standard views support this feature. However, XOP views presently do not support this feature and will do so in the future. [13828]

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917607

PAY_Accruals does not support DML statements in formulas. To show correct results for accrual plans, the PAY_Accruals view uses Oracle Payroll formulas that have been defined for each benefit accrual plan. Users can customize these formulas according to business needs. However, if customization involves the use of Data Manipulation Language (DML) statements (such as inserts, updates, or deletes), the view will malfunction. The PAY_Accruals view is designed to use only formulas without DML statements. For a solution, consider not altering the formulas and instead relocating DML statements elsewhere. Otherwise, contact Noetix Technical Support to request a quote for a billable customization that alters the Noetix Payroll Data Mart and the PAY_Accruals view for support of customized formulas. [13879]

XOP form of RA_Customers returns multiple records. The XOP form of the RA_Customers view returns a record for each active, primary bill-to address defined for a customer in an operating unit. This known issue also occurs if the XOP form of this view is joined to the XOP form of other views. For a workaround to this problem in XOP views, use the Operating_Unit_Name column as a foreign key in the query that joins the XOP form of the views. [19627]

EAM_WO_Cost_Details returns incorrect data. If a resource is associated with an operation sequence multiple times through different resource sequence numbers, the view returns incorrect data. This issue will be fixed in a future release. [23394]

Oracle Database 9.2.x causes errors in views for Human Resources. On Oracle Database versions 9.2.0.3 and 9.2.0.4, views for Oracle Human Resources that use hierarchical structures, such as organizations and positions, may not work correctly, and the following error may appear: “ORA-01436: CONNECT BY loop in user data”. This error is due to a bug in the Oracle Database that first appeared in version 9.0.1.1.1 and was subsequently fixed with database patches. This bug reappeared in version 9.2.x of the database. At the time of this release, a patch from Oracle Corporation was unavailable for this bug. The affected views are HR_Org_Hierarchies, HR_Pos_Hier_Elem, and HR_Pos_Hierarchies. [11243]

Error about check constraint logged. When Noetix views are generated or regenerated or when preupd.sql is run, if there are more than 1,000 Noetix roles, an error message similar to the following is logged: “ORA-02290: check constraint (…) violated”. Contact Noetix Technical Support for a workaround. [14432]


Views for Order Management have performance problems in version 11.5, later. Some Noetix views for Oracle Order Management have performance-related problems in Oracle E-Business Suite 11.5 and later. Order statuses are retrieved from the WF_ITEM_ACTIVITY STATUSES and WF_PROCESS_ACTIVITIES tables; the volume and distribution of data in these tables affect performance of these Noetix views. Sometimes, order statuses are retrieved from these tables repeatedly, and retrieval of each order status requires a separate join to Oracle Workflow tables. The affected views are OE_Lines, OE_Order_Territories, and OE_Orders; OE_Order_Line_Status and OE_Order_Status may also be affected. Try one of the following workarounds: • Gather statistics for the ONT schema, using a sample size ranging from 30 to 51 percent. • Purge obsolete information from the Workflow tables, as recommended by Oracle. These

tables can become quite large, and their size directly affects performance of the views. For troubleshooting issues pertaining to workflow data growth, see Note 298550.1 on Oracle MetaLink.

• Substitute the Workflow tables used by the affected views with a materialized view or an equivalent data mart view.

• Contact Noetix Technical Support for billable customizations of the affected views so that they do not use the order-status columns (sourced from the Workflow tables).

[15994]

Queries for Purchasing views may work incorrectly after upgrade to 11.5.10. After Oracle E-Business Suite is upgraded to version 11.5.10, time stamps will be stored for new PO receipts. For data that was created before the upgrade, the time stamp will be 00:00:00. As a result of this change, queries written for the views for Oracle Purchasing may not return rows for transactions that happened after the upgrade unless these time stamps are taken into account. Therefore, the queries should be modified. Solutions to this issue include truncating dates, using the TO_DATE function, and considering the 24-hour periods of dates. [16752]

Columns return incorrect information in views for Projects. In the views for Oracle Projects, the columns whose labels end with “To_Date” presently return incorrect values because future transactions are also taken into account. This known issue will be fixed in a future release. [19926]

CRP_Department_Resource_Hours returns incorrect data. The Department_Resource_Hours column of the view returns zero when the shift number is not equal to 1. This issue will be fixed in a future release. [19947]

Item category key flexfield columns may return data for irrelevant segments. For the standard and XOP forms of the following views, the respective columns for the Item Categories key flexfield may return information for segments pertaining to irrelevant structures: • EAM_Asset_Information: Asset_Cat$<segment> • EAM_WO_Matrl_Requirements: PO_Cat$<segment>, Purch_Cat$<segment>, and

Req_Cat$<segment> • EAM_Work_Requests: Asset_Cat$<segment> • GMF_Overhead_Percentages: Cost_Cat$<segment>, GL_Cat$<segment>,

Item_GL$<segment>, and Line_Cat$<segment> • HR_PO_Buyers: Item_Category$<segment>


• INV_Category: CAT$<segment> • INV_Category_All: CAT$<segment> • INV_Item_Cost_Details: CAT$<segment> • INV_Item_OE_Attributes: CAT$<segment> • INV_Items: CAT$<segment> • INV_Subinventory_Values: CAT$<segment> • MRP_BOM_Changes: ACAT$<segment> and CCAT$<segment> • MRP_BOM_Components: ACAT$<segment> and CCAT$<segment> • MRP_Daily_Plans: CAT$<segment> • MRP_End_Assemblies: CCAT$<segment> and ECAT$<segment> • MRP_Exception_Items: CAT$<segment> • MRP_Exception_Orders: CAT$<segment> • MRP_Gross_Requirements: CAT$<segment> • MRP_Lot_Expirations: CAT$<segment> • MRP_Orders: CAT$<segment> • MRP_Period_Plans: CAT$<segment> • MRP_Plan_Comparisons: CAT$<segment> • MRP_Planned_Order_Feedback: CAT$<segment> • MRP_Planning_Items: CAT$<segment> • MRP_Sourcing_Rule_Assigns: Item_Category$<segment> • MRP_Vendor_Schedules: CAT$<segment> • MRP_Weekly_Plans: CAT$<segment> • OE_List_Lines: CAT$<segment> • OE_Modifier_Details: CAT$<segment> • PO_All_Shipments: Item_Category$<segment> • PO_Approved_Supplier_Attr: Item_Category$<segment> • PO_Approved_Supplier_Docs: Item_Category$<segment> • PO_Approved_Suppliers: Item_Category$<segment> • PO_Blanket_PO_Lines: Item_Category$<segment> • PO_Buyers: Item_Category$<segment> • PO_Closed_Uninv_Receipts: Item_Category$<segment> • PO_Invoice_Hold_Details: Item_Category$<segment> • PO_Invoice_Payments: Item_Category$<segment> • PO_Invoices: Item_Category$<segment> • PO_Item_Purchase_Prices: Item_Cat$<segment> • PO_Line_Notes: Item_Category$<segment> • PO_On_Hold_Invoices: Item_Category$<segment> • PO_PO_Distributions: Item_Category$<segment> • PO_PO_Item_Lines: Item_Category$<segment> • PO_PO_Lines: Item_Category$<segment> • PO_PO_Shipments: Item_Category$<segment> • PO_Quality_Inspections: Item_Cat$<segment> • PO_Receipts: Item_Category$<segment> • PO_Requisition_Line_Notes: Item_Category$<segment> • PO_Requisition_Line_Pos: Item_Category$<segment> and

PO_Item_Category$<segment> • PO_Requisition_Lines: Item_Category$<segment> • PO_Rfq_Details: Item_Category$<segment> • PO_Rfq_Lines: Item_Category$<segment> • PO_Undelivered_Items: Item_Cat$<segment> • PO_Uninvoiced_Receipts: Item_Category$<segment> • QA_Quality_Specifications: CAT$<segment> [22230]


View generation may take long time on Oracle Database 9.2.x. If generation of Noetix views takes a long time on Oracle Database 9.2.x, consider changing the init.ora parameters as follows: • _b_tree_bitmap_plans = FALSE • optimizer_index_cost_adj = 10 • optimizer_index_caching = 90 • optimizer_max_permutations = 80000 Oracle recommends these parameter settings, and they should improve the overall performance of Noetix views. Applying the latest patches to the database or upgrading it to version 9.2.0.4 should also improve performance. [11539]

Answers for EIT views return error. When the additional extra information descriptive flexfields are not configured in the Human Resources module, the PEI1$<attribute> and PEIA1$<attribute> columns are not generated in the extra information type (EIT) views for this module. Therefore, the answers that use any of these columns for the following views return an error: • HR_EI_Academic_Rank • HR_EI_Asg_Ben_Derived • HR_EI_Asg_Federal • HR_EI_Asg_Locality • HR_EI_GHR_Probations • HR_EI_GHR_Sep_Retire • HR_EI_US_Add_Details • HR_EI_US_Passport_Dtls • HR_EI_US_Visa_Dtls [21244]

Z$INV_Items column not generated in XOP form of OE_Price_Lists. The Z$INV_Items column is not generated in the XOP form of the OE_Price_Lists view. However, the join-to column is available in the standard and global forms of the view. [24282]

HXC_SS_Time_Category_Hours omits some time-category columns during generation. When the time categories set up in Time and Labor have long and similar names, the columns that are dynamically generated in the view for such time categories are sometimes dropped. [25459]

Resource_Unit_Cost column in BOM_Resources returns incorrect information. The column displays incorrect information for the Resource, Material Overhead, and Overhead cost elements. For a workaround for the Resource cost element, contact Noetix Technical Support. This issue will be fixed in a future release. [18131]

WIP_All_Jobs view does not return data for Production_Line_Code column. The WIP_All_Jobs view does not return data for the Production_Line_Code column when the job type is discrete jobs (standard and nonstandard), lot-based jobs (standard and nonstandard), or maintenance jobs. [23790]

Column in HR_Emp_Sal_Pro_Hist returns incorrect data. The Current_Salary column in the view returns the previous salary of an employee instead of the current salary. [24726]


FIXED ISSUES The fixed issues in NoetixViews 6.0.1 for Oracle E-Business Suite are as follows:

Budget access levels displayed correctly for Type U, Type A, Type R users. In the NoetixViews for Oracle E-Business Suite Administrator (NoetixViews Administrator), when a Noetix query user of the Database User (Type U), Oracle E-Business Suite Authenticated User (Type A), or Oracle E-Business Suite Authenticated Responsibility (Type R) type was assigned budget access levels on the Ledger/Set of Books tab of the <Noetix query user> Properties dialog box, the budget access levels did not appear on the tab after Noetix query user maintenance was completed. However, the security settings were applied to the Noetix query user. [23055, 23444]

Pre-update process runs successfully during NoetixViews upgrade. When upgrading NoetixViews from version 5.7.1 to 5.8.7, the pre-update process (preupd.sql) encountered an error and did not complete. [23303]

Edits of role prefixes retained for ledger-based modules. For ledger-based modules, edits made to role prefixes were not retained, and the default role prefixes were used. [23324]

Roles for Payables, Purchasing created. When upgrading to NoetixViews 5.8.7, the standard and Cross Operations Extension (XOP) roles for Oracle Payables and Oracle Purchasing were not created. Therefore, the views corresponding to these roles were not generated. [23671]

Views for Payables, Purchasing, Assets return current data. For Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 and later, the following views returned historical data together with current data: • AP_Checks • AP_Invoice_Checks • AP_Invoice_Payments • PO_Invoice_Payments The views returned historical data because of date range records in the vendor bank or bank branch details. Now, the views return current vendor bank or bank branch details. For Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 and later, the FA_AP_Lease_Pay_Details and PO_Vendor_Site_Banks views returned duplicate records. The views returned duplicate records because of date range records in the vendor bank or bank branch details. Now, the views return records correctly. [23720]

Performance of Roles tab improved. When the selection of role labels was changed in the Noetix Role Labels list on the Roles tab of the <Noetix query user> Properties dialog box, the application used to stop responding for a while, and there was a delay in the refreshing of the Granted Noetix Roles list. [23921]


i_create_sm_users.sql sets correct security access for users. When the i_create_sm_users.sql script was used to add Noetix query users of the Oracle E-Business Suite Authenticated User (Type A), Oracle E-Business Suite Authenticated Responsibility (Type R), and Database User (Type U) types with the ALL security access mode, the security access was set to derived from Oracle E-Business Suite for the Type A and Type R users and custom for the Type U users. [23941]

Roles assigned to Oracle Administrative Database User successfully. When the OK button on the Add Noetix Roles dialog box was clicked to assign a selected role to the Oracle Administrative Database User (Type O) type user through the Roles tab in the <Noetix query user> Properties dialog box, an error message similar to the following was displayed: "Encountered an improper argument." [24032]

Generation successful for key flexfield segment labels with special characters. When global views returned information on key flexfield segments with labels containing special characters such as scientific or mathematical characters, subscripts, or superscripts, Stage 4 failed, and an error message similar to the following was displayed: “Exit Code 434 - Possible Problem Area: w_gseg_install.sql”. [24455]

Stage 4 successful when Stock Locators key flexfield set up with 1 segment. The generation of global views failed when the Stock Locators key flexfield was set up with a single segment. The following global views were affected by this issue: • INV_Serial_Number_Trans • INV_Transaction_Details • WIP_All_Jobs • WIP_All_Matrl_Reqrmt_Costs • WIP_All_Matrl_Requirements • WIP_All_Matrl_Shortages • WIP_Jobs • WIP_Requirement_Costs • WIP_Requirements • WIP_Shortages [24471]

View generation successful when key flexfields set up without segments. When key flexfields that support multiple structures were set up without segments, the generation of global views failed. Now, the generation of global views will be successful so long as proper configuration is done for at least those key flexfields that are required for successful functioning of Oracle E-Business Suite. [24680]

<Noetix query user> Properties dialog box retains organizational unit settings. After a custom list of organizational units was specified for a Noetix query user through the <Noetix query user> Properties dialog box, settings on some of the dialog box’s tabs were sometimes not retained before or after the changes were committed. [24762]


i_create_sm_users.sql assigns roles for Human Resources successfully. When the i_create_sm_users.sql script was run and roles for Human Resources were assigned to Noetix query users of the Oracle E-Business Suite Authenticated User (Type A) and Oracle E-Business Suite Authenticated Responsibility (Type R) types, the script output showed that the roles were assigned successfully even though the roles were not assigned. [24948]
