Note: Read this entire chapter before beginning your installation.

Pre-Installation Known Issues


Enterprise Scheduler Application Missing in the SCM
Domain with Financials Offering
If you intend to provision only the Financials offering, several SCM Enterprise Scheduler jobs
cannot be executed because the SCM Enterprise Schedule Application is not provisioned to
the SCM Ess Cluster in the SCM domain.

Resolution
If you already provision an Oracle Fusion Applications environment with only Financials
offerings, no workaround is available to resolve the issue.
If you plan to only provision Financials offerings, then make sure you also select one of the
SCM offerings (either product management, distributed order orchestration, or material
management and logistics) when you create the provisioning response file. This will ensure
that the SCM Ess Application is provisioned in the environment.

Use Only Port Based or IP Based Virtual Host Option


with Load Balancer
In Provisioning wizard, do not select the Name Based Virtual Host option if you are planning
to specify Load Balancer details on the next page. The combination is not recommended
because it will need manual changes during Fusion Applications, and setting up Name Based
Virtual Hosts is not efficient if you are using a Load Balancer.

Startup Phase
Startup Phase Failed with EQA-15011: The plug-in manager raised
an unexpected error
If you enable local application configuration for a multihost environment, during the startup
phase errors may occur with the following messages in the provisioning log:
(<APPLICATIONS_BASE>/logs/provisioning/<host
name>/runProvisioning-startup.log).
The errors are due to the timing between the start-up of managed servers that happened
before the time required for permission grants to propagate from the policy store to the
affected managed servers.
1. Plug-in manager error.

Known Issues

Resolution
1. Wait for 10 minutes after the error occurs.
2. Restart these managed servers in the Common Domain from WebLogic Admin Console:
UCM_server1 (in UCMCluster), WC_Spaces (FS_SPACECluster), and
search_server1 (SESCluster) using the Node Manager credentials that you entered in
the provisioning response file. You can find the URL for the Command Domain WebLogic
Admin Console (http://host:port/console) in the provisioning summary file (the
file name is provisioning.summary) located in the same place as the provisioning
response file. The following example shows what the entries in the provisioning summary
might look like:
Common Domain
Admin Server
Host: host_name
Managed Server Port: port_number
Admin Console
http://<host>:<port>/console
Enterprise Manager Welcome Page
http://<host>:<port>/em.
3. After all three affected managed servers are restarted, rerun the provisioning startup
phase.

Resolution
Before running the postconfigure phase, review the

following entry if it doesn't exist:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
Save the file and then start the postconfigure phase.
If the error still occurs, follow the resolution step above, and then run the cleanup and
restore postconfigure phases to retry.

Manually Back Up APPLICATIONS_CONFIG after Postconfigure


Phase As Needed
After the postconfigure phase finishes successfully, due to an error in the backup command,
the backup may fail and the provisioning framework not report this as an error. You should
manually back up the entire content in the APPLICATIONS_CONFIG directory tree in case
you need to restore it. The error message looks like this:
2013-10-01 10:59:49.673 ERROR [echoNested] Failed to back up
the instance directory. Make sure to manually back up
'$APPLTOP/instance' to
'$APPLTOP/provisioning/restart/backup_postconfigure'.

22

Oracle Fusion Applications 11g Release 8 (11.1.8)

Oracle Fusion Applications

Known Issues

No functional issue exists if you dont back up the content manually. You can continue with
the Startup phase.

Resolution
Refer to chapter 13.5.4 Performing a Manual Backup in the Oracle Fusion Applications
Installation Guide regarding how to perform manual backup after a provisioning phase.

Validate Phase
Validate Phase Failed with 'validatePolicyStore - BUILD_ERROR :
Error 1: the stripe webcenter doesn't exist in policy store' Error
If you only select one or any of these provisioning offerings: Incentive Compensation,
Enterprise Contracts, Oracle Fusion Accounting Hub, you will see an error message in the
provisioning log of the Common domain during the validate phase. The log looks like:
[2013-02-21 09:33:53 CST] Functional Setup : common-validateidstore-policystore validatePolicyStore - BUILD_ERROR : Error
1: the stripe webcetner doesn't exist in policy store

Resolution
This validation error can be ignored because the Webcenter Spaces server is not provisioned
if you only select one of these offerings, Incentive Compensation, Enterprise Contracts, Oracle
Fusion Accounting Hub. This error is caused by an incorrect validation.
If you select any other offerings, then the Webcenter Spaces server will be provisioned in
your environment. In this case, this error cannot be ignored and the error should be resolved
before concluding the provisioning process.

Oracle Identity Management


User and Role Members Not Reconciled to Oracle Identity Manager
for Certain Deployments
Certain Oracle Identity Management deployments may not have the automatic incremental
reconciliation processing enabled by default.

Resolution
1. For this processing to work correctly, perform a full reconciliation (RECON) immediately
after provisioning is complete.

2. Follow the procedure provided in the "Reconcile Users and Roles from the IDStore into
OIM" section in Oracle Fusion Applications Installation Guide 11g Release 7 (11.1.7) and
enable automatic incremental reconciliation processing.

User Called oaamadmin Created in Identity Store During Identity


Management
During Identity Management, a user called oaamadmin is automatically created in your
Identity Store. This user is not required in an Identity Management enterprise deployment for
Oracle Fusion Applications because the deployment does not include OAAM. After
configuration, manually remove this user and all groups that are prefixed by OAAM from your
Identity Store.

False OPatch Errors During Install Phase


During the install phase of provisioning, you may see a message Starting binary
patching for all-binary-patch components ..., followed by a series of
OPatch failure messages prefaced with the string prepatch within the provisioning log.
These errors contain the string Failed to load the patch object.

Resolution
You can ignore these messages.

The File createCentralInventory.Sh Lacks Executable


Permissions
The IDM Provisioning Wizard displays a window asking you to specify an inventory location.
After you provide the location, the wizard creates a script called
createCentralInventory.sh in that directory. Due to this issue, the file does not
have executable permissions.

Resolution
1. Navigate to the inventory location that you specified.
2. Run the following command to make the file executable:
chmod +x createCentralInventory.sh

Cleaning Up an Environment Before Rerunning Provisioning


When you provision Oracle Identity Management using the runIDMProvisioning.sh
command, you must complete each stage in the topology before beginning the next stage. If
a stage fails, you must clean up and start over to proceed. The documentation does not
explain how to do that.

Oracle Fusion Applications 11g Release 8 (11.1.8)

27

Oracle Fusion Applications

Known Issues

Resolution
To clean up a provisioned environment before starting another cycle of provisioning:
Linux or UNIX
1. On each host, stop all Identity Management processes. To do this, you should restart the
host.
2. On each host, remove the contents of the directory LOCAL_Root.
3. Remove the contents of the directories IDMTOP and SHARED_CONFIG on shared
storage.
4. Drop the database schema using RCU.
When dropping the schema, ensure that you check the ODS schema because it is not
checked by default. IDM Provisioning will fail during the next run if you dont perform this
step correctly.
5. Rerun provisioning.

Oracle Fusion Applications


Entering Second Primary Oracle Access Manager In Provisioning
Response As Needed
If you configure the second primary Oracle Access Manager during provisioning of Identity
Management (IDM), and if the IDM secondary access server is not entered during the Oracle
Fusion Applications provisioning response in the Access and Policy Management
Configuration page, then Oracle Fusion Applications will work with the IDM primary access
server only. So if IDM fails over to secondary access server for any reason, Oracle Fusion
Applications access will fail.

Resolution
During the Oracle Fusion Applications provisioning process, when using IDM with enterprise
deployment, select the check box for the secondary access server and enter the secondary
access server name in the IDM configuration details screen. Please note that if the
idmsetup.properties file is used to load IDM properties into Oracle Fusion Applications
provisioning screens, then idmsetup.properties will not contain the secondary access
server name. So select the check box for the secondary access server and enter the secondary
access server name in the IDM configuration details screen even though the load
idmsetup.properties file option is selected.

Correcting ODI Agent Connections High Availability
The Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) agents are configured with the primary ODI server ready-touse and do not support high availability if you plan to scale out the ODI server. To support
high availability of ODI, follow the instructions under Resolution to update ODI agents
configuration with the internal loadbalancer host and port.

Resolution
1. Sign in to the ODI console and select Master Repository.
2. From the topology navigator, select one of the following applicable physical agents:
FusionCrmOdiAgent
FusionHcmOdiAgent
FusionIcOdiAgent
FusionScmOdiAgent.

Note: ODI is installed only in selected domains that need it depending on the
provisioning offerings that you have selected to provision. Agent configuration needs to
be corrected only if the ODI server is installed in the respective domain.

Correcting the ESS Callback URL in the ODI ESS Application


The provider URL for the ODI scheduler OKC_ESS_ODI_SCHEDULER is not configured. This
must be corrected if the Contract application is provisioned in the CRM domain.

Resolution
Configure the provider URL for OKC_ESS_ODI_SCHEDULER using the following SQL query.
In the query replace ESS_SERVER_HOST and ESS_SERVER_PORT with the respective ESS
server host and port values in the CRM domain.
Update FUSION_ODI.SNP_ESS set provider_url=
't3://ESS_SERVER_HOST:ESS_SERVER_PORT'
where
ESS_NAME='OKC_ESS_ODI_SCHEDULER'

Note: OKC_ESS_ODI_SCHEDULER configuration is required only if CRM Contracts


application is provisioned.

Resolution
To add a member to the group:
1. Use the ldapmodify command line tool. For example, to add
"cn=myuser1,cn=users,dc=mycompany,dc=com",
"cn=myuser1,cn=users,dc=mycompany,dc=com", and
"cn=myuser1,cn=users,dc=mycompany,dc=com" users to group
"cn=AdminGroup,cn=Groups,dc=mycompany,dc=com", create an LDIF file
with the following contents.
dn: cn=AdminGroup,cn=Groups,dc=mycompany,dc=com
changetype: modify
add: uniquemember
uniquemember: cn=myuser1,cn=users,dc=mycompany,dc=com
uniquemember: cn=myuser2,cn=users,dc=mycompany,dc=com
uniquemember: cn=myuser3,cn=users,dc=mycompany,dc=com
2. Set the ORACLE_HOME variable to:
IDM_ORACLE_HOME export ORACLE_HOME=IDM_ORACLE_HOME
before running this command:
$IDM_ORACLE_HOME/bin/ldapmodify -p <ovd_ldap_port#> -h
<ovd_host_name> -D cn=orcladmin -w <password> -f
<name_of_the_file_that_has_above_contents>
Alternatively, use any other third-party LDAP directory browser tool such as Jxplorer to apply
the change.

Create an input_file and update it with your Oracle Virtual Directory access details in this
format:

ovd.host: <OVD_HOST>

ovd.port: <OVD_ADMIN_PORT>

ovd.binddn: <OVD_BINDDN>

ovd.password: <OVD_PASSWORD>

ovd.ssl: <true/false>

Example:
ovd.host: <OVD_HOST>
ovd.port: <OVD_ADMIN_PORT>
ovd.binddn: <OVD_BINDDN>
ovd.password: <OVD_PASSWORD>
ovd.ssl: <true/false>
Ensure your OID and OVD servers are up and running.
Change to the IAM_ORACLE_HOME
Example:
Assuming this is a Linux 64-bit system and the IAM_ORACLE_HOME is /u01/oim/oim_home:
cd /u01/oim/oim_home
Run the idmConfigTool.sh command
Example:
idmConfigTool.sh -disableOVDAccessConfig input_file=disableOVDAcces.prop
Now the Oracle Virtual Directory ACLs and anonymous binds to LDAP ports are disabled.

Remove WLS Patch PUAM Prior to Upgrade to Release


8
When you upgrade to Oracle Fusion Applications 11g Release 8 (11.1.8) from Release 7, and
your Release 7 installation has WLS patch PUAM installed, modification conflicts occur, such
as some roles not being updated. This occurs only if you applied the My Oracle Support (MOS)
patch 19013909: P4FA FOR FA REL 7 SYSTEM PATCH 11.1.7.0.140529 (System Patch).

Resolution
If you applied the My Oracle Support (MOS) patch 19013909: P4FA FOR FA REL 7 SYSTEM
PATCH 11.1.7.0.140529 (System Patch) for your Release 7 installation, then before upgrading
to Release 8 remove WLS patch PUAM when the servers are down. The smartupdate
command to remove is:
bsu.sh -remove -patchlist=PUAM -prod_dir=</path-to-proddir>/fusionapps/wlserver_10.3/ -verbose

Remove Patch 13329969 Prior to Upgrade to Release 8


(11.1.8)
Patch 13329969 provided a fix for an issue that occurred when you attempted to scale-in
(that is, remove managed servers, nodes, or both), from an existing Oracle Fusion
Applications environment. If the fix is required post upgrade, postpone the upgrade to
Release 8 until a revised patch is available.

Human Capital Management (HCM) Compensation


Custom OTBI Reports Overwritten During Upgrade
To link a custom OTBI report to a workforce compensation plan, you must save your reports
in the /shared/Human Capital Management/Compensation/Transactional
Analysis Samples folder.
However, upon upgrade, everything in that folder is overwritten and saved custom reports
are lost.

Resolution
In your release 7 environment, save a duplicate copy of your custom OTBI reports linked to
workforce compensation plans in the shared/custom/HCM/Compensation folder.
Upon upgrade to release 8, those reports will be retained and linkable to workforce
compensation plans. Release 7 will still work as expected.

Human Capital Management (HCM) Domain Errors


When you use Oracle Fusion Applications Release Uprade Orchestrator to upgrade the
environment to Oracle Fusion Applications 11g Release 8 (11.1.8), an error occurs with the
Human Capital Management (HCM) domain during the deployment of the EM Selective
Applications Trace Library stage. This occurs because the domain-info.xml file does not
point to the template file in its correct location.

Resolution
1. Run the following commands for each domain:
cd APPLICATIONS_BASE/instance/domains/hostname/domainname
/init-info
cp domain-info.xml. domain-info.xml.orig
2. Modify the domain-info.xml file for each domain to point to the template file in the
current repository. For example:

The Schema Deploy Tool Fails When Additional
Privileges Are Granted on the Object to the DB
Roles
The schema deploy tool maintains grants on FUSION schema objects (tables, sequences, and
so on) to FUSION database roles (FUSION_APPS_READ_WRITE, FUSION_APPS_READ_ONLY).
The set of privileges granted on an object is controlled by user-defined properties (UDP)
defined for the object in its offline definition file (set through JDev and extracted to file).
During the apply, the schema deploy tool checks that the privileges granted on the object to
the FUSION database roles exactly match those defined by UDPs and fails when additional
privileges are granted on the object to the DB roles.

Resolution
Revoke the custom privilege granted to the database role and restart the failed worker. The
privilege can be granted directly to the schema that requires access.

Vertex Data File Installation Steps to Be Followed by


Customers for U.S. Payroll Localization
For you to successfully run U.S. Payroll, the Vertex monthly data file needs to be processed to
create an Indexed Sequential Access Method (ISAM) database. Because customers receive the
monthly data file directly from Vertex, the creation of this ISAM database is their
responsibility. Neither the ISAM database nor the monthly data file that is used to create it is
shipped by Oracle. These steps are for on-premise customers only. Oracle Cloud customers
will have these steps performed for them.

Resolution
Perform these post-install steps only if you are using HCM and have implemented U.S. Payroll
Localization. This is because U.S. localization uses Vertex for payroll calculation. These steps
are not needed for any other HCM product.
Note: If an ISAM database already exists, you need to remove the existing ISAM
database files from the $VERTEX_TOP/data directory before proceeding with these
steps.
To create or upgrade ISAM database for UNIX:
To create or upgrade the ISAM database for applications running on UNIX, follow these steps.

3. Copy the latest Vertex data file (qfpt.dat) to $VERTEX_TOP/data.
4. From $VERTEX_TOP/utils, run cbmaint.
5. On the installer screen, select Create Database and Payroll Tax Database.
6. Provide the directory path where you want to create the ISAM database (in this case
$VERTEX_TOP/data).
7. From $VERTEX_TOP/utils, run vprtmupd to populate the ISAM database files.
8. On the installer screen, select Update Payroll Tax Database.
9. Provide the directory path where the Vertex data file qfpt.dat is available (in this case
$VERTEX_TOP/data).
10. Provide the directory path where the ISAM database was created (in this case
$VERTEX_TOP/data). The ISAM database files residing in this directory are updated. The
update process takes some time.
11. Provide users with complete permissions to all files under $VERTEX_TOP/data.

Sampling-Based Frequency Histograms May Have Lower Number of
Buckets Than the Number of Distinct Values
Gathering table statistics with estimate_percent set to anything other than 100 may generate
frequency histograms with lower number of buckets than the number of distinct values. This
may lead to suboptimal plan selection (and eventually performance decrease) for some
queries in which predicates are on relatively infrequent values, which are not included in the
corresponding histogram. This issue is targeted to be fixed in Database 12.1.

Resolution
Set estimate_percent to 100 when gathering statistics on those tables with this symptom.
Please note that this may increase statistics gathering time significantly on large tables.

Login Display Names


Oracle Fusion Applications integrates Oracle Identity Management (OIM). OIM provides the
login ID and alternate display names stored in the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol

Scheduling User-Management and Role-Management Processes


User-creation and role-provisioning problems are occurring because two critical processes are
not being scheduled. The processes are Retrieve Latest LDAP Requests and Send Pending
LDAP Requests. You must schedule both processes to run daily.
Retrieve Latest LDAP Requests processes updates that are coming from the LDAP (Lightweight
Directory Access Protocol) directory of Oracle Identity Management (OIM) to Oracle Fusion
Applications. This process has no parameters but must run to completion before Send
Pending LDAP Requests is run. Oracle recommends that you leave a gap between the
scheduled start times of these processes. Depending on the size of your enterprise and the
number of updates that you would expect, a gap of 1 or 2 hours may suffice.
The Send Pending LDAP Requests process sends future-dated user-account and roleprovisioning requests from Oracle Fusion to OIM when they become current. The response
from OIM to Oracle Fusion HCM indicates transaction status (for example, Completed). Send
Pending LDAP Requests has two required parameters, User Type and Batch Size. You must
complete these parameters; otherwise, the process does not run. Oracle recommends that
you set User Type to All and Batch Size to A, which causes batch size to be calculated
automatically.
Note that once these processes are scheduled to run daily, you cannot run them on an ad-hoc
basis. If you opt to run them ad hoc, then remember that the parameters are required.

Creating Customization Sets
Customization Set Migration migrates all customizations from the source to the target
instance. The customizations are moved as customization sets. You can create the
customization set before exporting customizations.

Customization and Extensibility


Using Page Composer for Simplified Pages in Low Resolution
When you use Page Composer to edit the content of full-size dialog boxes on simplified pages
at resolution 1024 by 768 and lower, the composer toolbar is covered by the dialog box.

Resolution
Use a bigger monitor or higher resolution when customizing simplified pages using Page
Composer. If that is not possible, move the dialog box lower on the screen.

Panel Drawer Customization in Simplified Pages Is Not Available


Page Composer enables customization of simplified pages, which are alternative user
interfaces that provide quick access to high-volume and self-service tasks and enable
productivity from any device. However, this capability does not include customization of the
panel drawer, which is the UI component that slides out on the right side of the page.

Oracle Business Intelligence


Analyses and Dashboards for Oracle Business Intelligence (BI)
Applications Appear When Oracle BI Applications Dont Appear
Oracle BI Applications dashboards and reports are visible even when Oracle Business
Analytics Warehouse is not implemented. Users who are provisioned with associated Oracle
Business Intelligence application roles encounter an error when attempting to access the
Oracle Business Intelligence dashboard tab and Oracle BI Applications dashboards and reports
within the Oracle BI Presentation Catalog.

Resolution
Hide the Oracle Business Intelligence dashboard tab and Presentation Catalog-driven Oracle
BI Applications Reports and Subject Areas from the Home page and Navigator by manually
removing all Oracle Business Intelligence application roles from associated enterprise external
role hierarchies by performing the Manage Duties task in the Authorization Policy Manager.
To hide the tabs to Oracle BI Applications dashboards within the Home page and on the
Navigator, follow these steps to remove Oracle Business Intelligence application roles from
the external roles.
1. For an fscm application, click the Search link for Application Roles.
2. Find the application role listed in the following table and delete the mapping from the

Reporting Across Oracle Fusion Transactional Business Intelligence


(BI) Subject Areas
You can report across two or more subject areas in Oracle Fusion Transactional BI only if the
dimensions that are used in the query appear in every subject area in the query. Fact
information does not need to be shared. Producing queries that include dimensions that are
not shared is a frequent requirement. Such queries are not possible.

Reporting on Flexfields
Oracle Fusion Transactional Business Intelligence (BI) supports reporting against Key,
Descriptive and Extensible flexfields. The flexfields need to be BI-enabled before they can be
exposed in Oracle Fusion Transactional BI presentation layer. For information about setting
up Oracle Fusion Transactional BI to report against flexfields and for a list of supported
flexfields, refer to the Oracle Fusion Transactional Business Intelligence Administrator's Guide.
Some key flexfields (KFF) are also supported in Oracle Fusion Transactional BI; other types of
flexfield cannot be reported on currently.

BI Publisher Report Developers Cannot Modify Reports They Create


Using BI Publisher Customize Feature
After you invoke the Customize operation on a BI Publisher report, the security settings on

Oracle ADF Desktop Integration


This issue applies to all Oracle Fusion Applications products that leverage Oracle ADF Desktop
Integration (ADFdi) spreadsheets.
If you use button controls to perform actions such as updating or loading data from within
the ADFdi spreadsheet, you must set the zoom level in Microsoft Excel to 100%.

Discussion Forums Fail Intermittently


The default timeout on web center services is 5 seconds. When a groupspace is created,
association of some of the services with the groupspace may exceed 5 seconds due to jive
server overloading. When this happens, errors occur and warnings are issued when
groupspace is created. This behavior occurs intermittently in our system test environment.

Resolution
To change the default timeout settings using webcenter MBeans browser, execute the
following commands:
1. removeResource(service="oracle.webcenter.community"
resource="oracle.webcenter.collab.forum")
2. removeResource(service="oracle.webcenter.community"

Managing Job Sets: Highlights


The Managing Job Sets: Highlights help file covers a feature that is not available in this
release. By default, this help is available in the help system, and possibly in some
implementation guides.

Resolution
Use the Manage Custom Help page in Oracle Fusion Applications Help to set the status of this

UI Skin
The Older Fusionfx Skin Has Been Replaced with Skyros
A new UI skin (Skyros) is available. It is applied by default to all applications on which you
have not used any custom UI skin. If you have applied a custom UI skin, continue to view it. If
you want to change it to the new UI skin, modify the profile option
FND_CSS_SKIN_FAMILY.
However, in scenarios in which you have applied a custom UI skin but reverted to the earlier
Oracle Fusion skin, the Skyros UI skin cannot be applied automatically during the update. You
will need to change the skin manually using the profile option.

Skin Customizations of Older Styles Can No Longer Be Applied


Customizations on components that were based on the older skin are not available for further
modification.

Resolution
Create a new default skin based on the new Skyros CSS and continue with the necessary
customizations.

Configuring Searches Using Percentage Fields Displays Type of Percentage
incorrectly
When configuring a saved search or the regional search, you can specify search criteria to be
used. However, when you create a search using a percentage field, the display type of
percentage is not displayed correctly.

Resolution
When building searches with percentage fields, divide the percentage by 100 to calculate the
literal value that you should enter as a search criterion. For example, to correctly use 150% in
your saved search, enter 1.5.
Sandbox Cannot Be Published from Location Other Than Fusion Home Page
When you attempt to publish a sandbox from the landing page for a custom object, an error
occurs.

Resolution
To successfully publish a sandbox, first navigate to the Fusion home page and then publish
the sandbox.
Segmenting Custom Object Feature Unavailable
During the Create Custom Subject Area process, an additional step is needed to make the

Initial Value for Public Unique Identifier (PUID) Not Editable


The seeded initial values for PUID are not editable. The document sequences that generate
the public (surrogate) object record identifier have been seeded with an initial value of 1
(one), implying that the first record that is created for an object will have a public unique
identifier with the number 1 and will increment by 1 each time a new record is created.
This initial value is not editable during setup.

Resolution
If concerns or conflicts arise with preexisting unique identifiers, apply either of the following
resolutions:

Add a prefix to the Oracle Fusion-generated unique identifier

Re-create the document sequence with a proper initial value to prevent conflicts or

Only Code Is Available for Custom Fixed Choice List Fields for
Reports Created Based on Standard Subject Areas for a Standard
Object
When a new fixed choice list is added to a standard object, standard subject areas display
only the meaning column using the label selected. In both new and edited custom subject
areas, the meaning of the new fixed choice list is displayed using the label; and the code is
available with the word Code appended to the label.
When an existing fixed choice list is edited on a standard object, the previous label is still
available on the code column and this is still available on standard subject areas. The edited
label is used for the meaning column. This means that if you use the same label on the edit,
no clear differentiation exists between the code and meaning other than the location in the
extension folder of the object.
Existing custom subject areas using the fixed choice list still have the old label. The code still
uses the old label; and the meaning has the old label with Meaning appended to it. When the
custom subject area is republished after the fixed choice list is edited, the code has the new
label with Code appended to it and the meaning uses the new label.
If an existing fixed choice list is in a custom subject area that is republished without the fixed
choice list being edited first, the field name instead of label appears. You can fix this by
editing and saving the Fixed Choice List.
Existing Fixed Choice Lists on standard objects that are not edited function as they did prior to
this enhancement. That is, no support exists for the meaning column outside of custom
subject areas.

Resolution
Edit the fixed choice list, resave it, and drop the meaning column into existing reports for the
meaning column to be displayed.

My Key Contacts Widget Removed from Sales Dashboard


My Key Contacts on the Sales dashboard Home page, which shows and allows creating
business contacts, has been removed from Sales dashboard Home page and is no longer
available to add to dashboard pages. My Key Contacts is outdated in Release 8 due to the
new person-centric contacts model that supports standalone contacts. My Key Contacts has
been replaced by My Favorite Contact lists on the Manage Contacts page in the Desktop UI,
and the Contacts page in the Simplified UI.
If you added My Key Contacts via personalization, you will continue to see this widget on your
personalized dashboard page after upgrading. However, it will not support person-centric
contacts, and might have other diminished functionality. For example, you can create
contacts not associated with a customer, but you cannot search for such contacts within the
"My Key Contacts" widget. Only contacts with an associated customer can be searched,
viewed, and managed within this widget.

Resolution
Use My Favorite Contact lists in the Manage Contacts page in Desktop UI, and the Contacts
page in the Simplified UI.

Public Flag in BI Does Not Reflect Correct Value When Privately


Owned Check Box Is Selected for the Customer
In Marketing Segmentation subject areas, within the Customer presentation table, the Public
Flag attribute does not reflect the correct value for the Customer record in the Oracle Fusion
Transactional system when operating in OTBI mode (no data warehouse). In the Fusion
transactional system, if the Customer record has the Privately Owned check box selected, the
Public Flag attribute that is accessed in the Marketing Segmentation subject areas in BI
displays Y.
The Public Flag attribute is available in the Customer presentation table in the following
segmentation subject areas:

Oracle Territory and Quota Management


Limitations on Importing and Exporting Territory Geography Zones
Oracle Fusion Functional Setup Manager provides an import and export framework to import
and export configuration packages. The framework can also be used to import territory
geography zone information. However, territory geography zone information consists of large
volumes of data, and importing it through the Oracle Fusion Functional Setup Manager can be
slow.

Resolution
Use File-Based Import to import territory geography zone information.

Territory File Import Cannot Be Run In Parallel


When using .csv files, multiple users cannot import territory information simultaneously or an
error will occur.

Resolution

Using Opportunity Assignment View Criteria to Create an


Opportunity May Exclude New Opportunity
When an administrator runs the opportunity batch assignment using the view criteria,
OpenOpportunitiesByCreationDate, an opportunity that you created on the same day as the
day that the assignment is run might not be included for assignment, especially if the server
resides in a different time zone from the one in which you created the opportunity.

Resolution
Specify the view criteria parameter BindOptyCreationDateTo to sysdate+1 (default is sysdate)
so that the opportunities created on the same day are included for assignment.

Table-Level Filters on Opportunity and Leads Overview Page

Additional Revenue Lines Are Visible on the Ui When Extensible


Attribute Is Enabled on Revenue Line
For implementations having extensible attributes enabled on revenue lines, when you add
sales credits to a revenue line and save the change, additional revenue lines may be noticed
on the UI. This is a UI manifestation from a caching issue rather than actual new lines created
in the application, and this behavior occurs only when extensible attributes are enabled on
the revenue line.

Resolution
Sign off the session and sign in again. The additional lines do not appear.

Oracle Sales Forecasting


Using Saved Search Feature in Sales Forecasting
Saved searches in the Sales Forecasting module need to be redefined after you update the
Territory definition. This is due to how the search function saves search parameters.

Resolution
Schedule a gap between forecasts and run the Refresh Forecast process and Due Date Check
process jobs during that time. For instance, if the current forecast is set to be due on Friday,
run the Refresh Forecast process and Due Date Check process on Saturday. The next forecast
should not reach the frozen date until Sunday.

Oracle Contact and Lead Management


Contact Search
When you search for contacts using a keyword search, the search results may not display the
correct drill-down.

Resolution
From Enterprise Manager, ECSF Administration, rebuild your index. This will ensure that the
search result displays the correct drill-down the next time that you run a keyword search for
contacts.

Changed Datatype for BudgetAmount Attribute


The datatype definition of the BudgetAmount attribute changed from long to BigDecimal. The
userData.rules file contains the long datatype definition for the Budget Amount and is
currently out of sync with both view object (VO) and seedData.rules.

Resolution
The userData.rules files needs to reflect the latest VO definition. To ensure that both
definitions are in sync:
1. Sign in to Assignment Manager workbench.
2. Create a new work object with the same definition as Sales Lead as follows:
Application Module:
oracle.apps.marketing.leadMgmt.leads.leadService.applicationM
odule.LeadAM
Application Module Configuration: LeadAMLocal
View Object Instance: MklLeadAssignment
3. Click the Attributes tab.
4. Create a new attribute called BudgetAmount.

Impact of Removing Date Effectivity Functionality


Removing Date Effectivity functionality impacts triggers that were added using CRM
Application Composer on the objects Trading Community Organization Profile and Trading
Community Person Profile. If you added a Before Insert trigger or an After Insert trigger for a
functional use-case of your custom logic, then when a row is updated because of a dateeffectivity row split, these triggers will not activate.

Resolution
Move the code to a Before Update or After Update trigger. You can continue to keep the logic
that you want to activate only on a new organization or person creation in Before Insert or
After Insert triggers.

Mandatory Setup for Audit of Account, Contact, and Household


Profiles
Account, Contact, and Household objects have Effective Start Date and Effective End Date
columns in the corresponding tables. These columns are used internally only, and do not
provide any customer-facing features. However, Account, Contact, and Household objects do
not report any audit unless Effective Start Date and Effective End Date are enabled for
auditing.

Resolution
Enable auditing of both Effective Start Date and Effective End Date for Account, Contact, and
Household objects during your audit setup.

Saved Searches for Job Roles Created By Means of Page Composer


Sales administrators can create saved searches by job role using Page Composer, but after
they sign out and sign in again, sales administrators cannot edit or delete saved searches
based on job roles. For instance, saved searches created for sales representatives, sales
managers, or vice presidents are visible only to end users with those job roles. To edit or
delete the saved searches, the sales administrator must also have the sales representative,

Account Hierarchies S etup with Segment Value Ranges

You do not have access to values that are added to an account hierarchy as ranges if segment
value security is enabled. This occurs even if you have been granted access to those values.

Resolution
Add the values individually or use hierarchical operators instead of adding the values as a
range.
Calculation Manager
Browser Limitation

You are unable to drag and drop the components to create an allocation rule in the
Calculation Manager if you are using the Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome browsers. A
workaround exists (described below) for Mozilla Firefox.

Financial Reporting and Analysis
Smart View Reports a nd Allocation Generation May End in Error After New
Hierarchies Are Published

In some situations, reports that are created in Oracle Hyperion Smart View may end in error
after new hierarchies are published. The same error may occur with allocation generation.
This happens if originally only one hierarchy was published, and then later additional
hierarchies are published to the cube. Adding a new hierarchy breaks the original hierarchy
references. You would then need to update the Allocation Rules and Smart View report
templates with the new reference.

Resolution
Initially, create two hierarchy versions that are identical and then, going forward, always keep
at least two versions published to the cube.
Oracle strongly recommends that you refer to the following best practices white paper for
maintaining hierarchies for financial reporting and allocation purposes:

Oracle Fusion Advanced Collections


Multiple Business Units
The Collections Payments pop-up window in the Collections work area is used by collectors to
take payments from a delinquent customer. On this pop-up window, the Payments Type list
of values lists multiple instances of the same type when the customers bank accounts and

You may need to collapse one or more of the upper panes of Receivables system options to
display the lower panes.
For example, if you want to set the amount of information that the Oracle Fusion Receivables

Summarizing Balance Metrics Along Time Hierarchy Requires Care


Oracle Fusion General Ledger Balances are offered in two subject areas: General Ledger
Balances Real Time and General Ledger - Transactional Balances Real Time. The General
Ledger Transactional Balances Real Time subject area is well suited for combining Oracle
Fusion General Ledger Balances with underlying transactional details such as journal entries.
However, it should not be used when you are aggregating balances by a time hierarchy.

Using Tree-Based Accounting Segment Dimensions Requires Tree


Filters
Within Oracle Fusion Transactional Business Intelligence, Accounting Segment Dimensions
such as Balancing segment or Cost Center segment are based on the Chart of Accounts
configuration. These segments can be configured to be tree-enabled, which means that
hierarchies are defined upon the segment values for rollup purposes.
In such scenarios, you must filter by a specific hierarchy when performing ad-hoc queries
against tree-based accounting segments. Incorrect results may occur if tree filters are not
applied.
To apply tree filters, create a filter condition on Tree Filter attributes in Accounting Segment
Dimensions.

Data Masking
Configuration of data masking in the Oracle Fusion Applications environment requires
execution of the data masking script. In the Oracle Human Capital Management product
family environment, the index rebuild of index FUSION.EGP_ITEM_TEXT_TL_CTX1 is excluded
from the data masking script for performance and safety considerations.

Resolution
Manually rebuild the index after the script has been executed.
1. To rebuild FUSION.EGP_ITEM_TEXT_TL_CTX1, manually run one of the following DDL
commands:
alter index FUSION.EGP_ITEM_TEXT_TL_CTX1 rebuild parallel;
or
alter index FUSION.EGP_ITEM_TEXT_TL_CTX1 rebuild;
2. The first command builds the index with the parallel option. It achieves the same result as
the second command, but runs faster. (Actual performance varies depending on the size
of the index and the server configuration.)

Regenerating Roles After Updating Role Hierarchies
If you update the role hierarchy of an abstract or data role, the associated data security
policies are not updated automatically. To update the data security policies, you must
regenerate the role. If you update the role hierarchy of an abstract or data role, the
associated data security policies are not updated automatically. To update the data security
policies, you must regenerate the role.

Resolution
If you update the role hierarchy of an abstract or data role, then you must regenerate the role
to update its data security policies. For example, if you change the duties inherited by the
Human Resource Specialist job role that is inherited by the local HCM data role Human
Resource Specialist - Sales Division, you must regenerate the HCM data role.
To regenerate a role:

Limitations with Exporting and Importing Project Enterprise


Resources
This issue affects Oracle Fusion Project Management.
You cannot export and import a project enterprise resource from one Oracle Fusion
Applications instance to another using the Oracle Fusion Functional Setup Manager service if
the resource is associated with an HCM person.
You can export and import a project enterprise resource who is not associated with an HCM
person. However, if the resources manager is associated with an HCM person, and the
manager does not already exist in the target instance as a project enterprise resource, then
the resource is created in the target instance with no manager information.

Resolution
In the target instance, use the Manage Project Enterprise Resources page, Import Project
Enterprise Resource process for Oracle Cloud, or Project Enterprise Resource External Service
to create project enterprise resources who are associated with HCM persons.

Limitations with Importing Resource Breakdown Structures


This issue affects Oracle Fusion Project Foundation.
The planning and billing resource breakdown structures that are eligible for import by means
of the Oracle Fusion Functional Setup Manager service are limited based on the resource
type. All resources on a planning or billing resource breakdown structure must be one of the
following resource types:

Person

Organization

Limitations with Exporting and Importing Organization Trees


This issue affects Oracle Fusion Project Foundation.
A service is not available to export and import organization trees. The trees must exist in the

Resolution
Manually create the organization trees in the target environment.

Customizing Project Requirements at Investment Area and Feature


Levels
Use Data Composer to define custom attributes for the RequirementVO view object and

Project Execution Role Required for Resource Assignment Approval
Workflow
This issue affects Oracle Fusion Project Resource Management and Oracle Fusion Project
Management.
When a resource manager submits a proposed resource to fulfill a project resource request,
the application sends a workflow notification to the project manager for approval. If the
resource manager has only the Resource Manager enterprise role, and does not have the
Project Execution enterprise role, then the proposed resource cannot be approved or
rejected from the e-mail workflow notification or worklist. The resource manager must have
the Project Execution enterprise role to enable a user to approve or reject a proposed
resource in the workflow notification or worklist.

Resolution
The project manager can approve a proposed resource from the Manage Project Resource
Requests page.
To authorize users to approve a proposed resource from an e-mail notification or worklist,
the project application administrator can perform either of the following tasks:
1. Add the Project Execution enterprise role to all resource managers.
2. Add the privilege PJR_APPROVE_PROJECT_RESOURCE_FOR_PROJECT_ASSIGNMENT_PRIV
to the Resource Manager enterprise role.

Security Privileges for Processing and Reviewing Commitment


Transactions
Note: This issue affects Oracle Fusion Project Costing.
In a previous release of Oracle Fusion Project Costing, existing security privileges controlled
access to processing and reviewing third-party commitment transactions. Users with
privileges to process actual cost transactions
(PJC_RUN_IMPORT_AND_PROCESS_PROJECT_COST_TRANSACTIONS_PROCESS) could also
process commitments. Similarly, users with privileges to review actual cost transactions
(PJC_MANAGE_PROJECT_EXPENDITURE_ITEM) could also review commitments.
In this release of Oracle Fusion Project Costing, new security privileges allow explicit access
to processing and reviewing actual costs and commitments. However, due to limitations in
modifying existing privileges, users who can process and review actual costs can also process
and review commitments.

Resolution
Provide the following privileges for users to process and review only commitment
transactions and not actual cost transactions:
PJC_RUN_PROCESS_PROJECT_COMMITMENT_TRANSACTIONS_PROCESS_PRIV
PJC_VIEW_PROJECT_COMMITMENT_TRANSACTIONS_PRIV
PJC_VIEW_PROJECT_COMMITMENT_TRANSACTIONS_DATA
Alternatively, remove the commitment-related task flows from the following privileges for
users to process and review only actual cost transactions:

If your Oracle Fusion Applications environment is provisioned with multiple database


nodes using Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC), then each database node that
corresponds to a server instance must have its own location for storing log files to
avoid losing any diagnostic log due to file contention. Follow these steps to configure:
1. In each RAC node host, create a directory local to the host, such as
/<somewhere>/appllog, where <somewhere> should be replaced with the
actual location.
Ensure that this location has sufficient disk space to hold the maximum number of
log files that you are expecting.
2. From one of the RAC node hosts, run this command to create a test file.
(Unix) touch /<somewhere>/appllog/atestfile.log.
3. From the other RAC node host, make sure atestfile.log does not show up in
/<somewhere>/appllog/atestfile.log.
Delete the atestfile.log created in step 2.
4. Sign in to the Oracle Fusion Applications database with the SYSDBA role and run
these SQL statements to update APPLLOG_DIR. Note that <somewhere>
should be replaced with the actual location specified in step 1.
create or replace directory APPLLOG_DIR as
'/<somewhere>/appllog';
commit;
5. Ensure that the value for APPLLOG_DIR is the same between the RAC database
instances using this SQL statement:
select DIRECTORY_PATH from ALL_DIRECTORIES where
DIRECTORY_NAME = 'APPLLOG_DIR';

Wallet

Fails to Create Trusted Certificate

In the Oracle Fusion Middleware Enterprise Deployment Guide for Oracle Identity
Management (Oracle Fusion Applications Edition), the Oracle Internet Directory server is
configured with SSL server authentication mode.
For connections to the server to succeed, a trust certificate must be downloaded from the
Oracle Internet Directory Server and installed in an Oracle SSL wallet.
To create the wallet with the trust certificate, run the following command as described in
Section 14.4.3 Validating SSL Connectivity:
./SSLClientConfig.sh -component cacert
Due to this issue:
1. You see errors similar to this when you run the command:
./SSLClientConfig.sh: line 558:
[ORACLE_HOME]/rootCA/keystores/SSLClientConfig_20130711135406
: No such file or directory
2. The Oracle SSL wallet created at $ORACLE_HOME/rootCA/keystores/common is
not good for SSL server-authentication connection.

Resolution
1. Do not change anything in $ORACLE_HOME/rootCA after the failed run.
2. Rerun the command:

Oracle Sales
Defining Custom Packages, Procedures, and Messages
for Running Custom Validation Logic Against
Contracts
You can run custom validation logic against contracts with the seeded validation logic prior to
sending a contract for approval. The standard contract validation process checks for any
custom validation that has been set up. Custom packages, procedures, and messages need to
be defined first. The following setup steps are missing from the Oracle Sales Cloud
Implementing Enterprise Contracts guide:
1. Create the custom package in the fusion_dynamic schema only.
2. To prevent object does not exist compilation errors, identify all fusion objects to be
queried and give grants on those objects before creating the custom package, for
example:
GRANT SELECT ON okc_validate_contract_t TO fusion_dynamic;
GRANT INSERT ON okc_validate_contract_t TO fusion_dynamic;
GRANT SELECT ON okc_k_headers_all_b TO fusion_dynamic;
3. Sign in as the fusion user and create the custom package using the API
ADM_DDL.DO_DDL(l_stmt). It must be set up as follows:
Package : OKC_CUSTOM_VALIDATION_DYD
Procedure : CUSTOM_VALIDATIONS
Paramaters :

p_contract_id : Contract Id of the contract i.e

Importing Contact Points and Contact Point

The headings of the third and fourth columns are mislabeled as Target Objects for
Importing Contacts and Target Objects for Importing Contact Points. The column
headings should be Target Objects for Importing Contact Points and Target Objects for
Importing Contact Point Preferences, respectively.

The row that contains Account and Organization in the Import Object and Party Type
columns incorrectly lists Email, InstantMessenger, and Mobile as contact points in the
third column. These contact points are not available for accounts. These contact
points are typically associated with persons, not organizations. This row also includes

Running the new Migrate Contract Users process ensures that:
1. All the users are migrated as Resources.
2. Appropriate Resource Organization-Business Units mappings are created based on the

Customer Relationship LOV for Contact Points
Before Release 8 (11.1.8), when you created a contact point for a contact or an account, the

Oracle Resource Management


Resource Organization and Role Association Changes
Before Release 8 (11.1.8), a resource could be a member of multiple organizations. When a
resource moved from one organization to another, the associated transactions, such as
opportunities and leads, continued to be visible through their previous resource organization
and reporting hierarchy. Beginning with Release 8 (11.1.8), a resource can belong to only one
resource organization and be associated with only a single resource role, during a given
period. After upgrading to Release 8 (11.1.8), you must refresh the reporting hierarchy to
implement any resource membership changes.

Resolution
Perform the following steps to regenerate your reporting hierarchy:
1. From Navigator, click Resource Directory.
2. From the Tasks pane, click View Organization Hierarchies.
3. Ensure that the Status is set to Active, and click Search.
4. From the Search Results list, select the organization hierarchy.
5. In the View Organization Hierarchy page, click the Action drop-down, and select Edit This
Hierarchy Version.
6. Click Save and Close. This action triggers the process to regenerate the hierarchy.

Note: If you upgraded to Release 8, patch bundle 6, then you must manually trigger
the process to regenerate your reporting hierarchy. If not, you may encounter errors
when updating your territory proposals. However, for Release 8, patch bundle 7 onwards,
this process is triggered automatically.
If a resource was not associated with a resource role in a resource organization in Release
7, the upgrade process assigns the Sales Representative Resource Role to that resource in
the resource organization, with a start date corresponding to the Sysdate. If Sales Rep
does not exist, it is assigned another existing non-manager role.
