How to enable debugging / tracing?

 

How to enable debugging / tracing?

Do the following steps to enable the BNE logging.
- Login to the System Administrator Responsibility.
- Open the System -> Profiles form.
- Search for profiles using '%BNE%LOG%'
This should return three profiles.

• BNE Server Log Level - This should be set to 'Trace'.
• BNE Server Log Filename - Specify the log file name here (eg: 'bne.log').
• BNE Server Log Directory - Provide the path of the log file directory here.

In older versions the profiles may be named:

• BNE Debug Log Level
• BNE Debug Log Filename
• BNE Debug Log Directory

1. Set the above three values on SITE level (use a unique file name, to insure only information for your problem is included)
2. Set profiles Bounce the Web server (so that the changes take effect)
3. Reproduce the issue
4. Change the file name profile option value after reproducing the issue, so that the BNE log file will have log messages related to this issue only.
5. If the log file is being generated for a related Service Request then also upload the BNE log to that SR.

Also set Profile Option: FRM: Debug Mode to Yes on Site level.

LOV For Inventory Org Contains No Values In Locations Form

 

SYMPTOMS

Need to assign new Inventory Orgs to a location on the locations form on the "Other Details" tab.  However, an error message is received when this is attempted:
LOV contains no values.

CAUSE

There must be a row in the view FINANCIALS_SYSTEM_PARAMETERS for the SET_OF_BOOKS_ID associated with the organization if it is to be selected on the Locations form.
This query returns the set_of_books_id associated with the organization:
select organization_id, business_group_id, organization_name, set_of_books_id
from ORG_ORGANIZATION_DEFINITIONS;

This query determines if there is a row for the set_of_books_id identified in the first query:
select *
from FINANCIALS_SYSTEM_PARAMS_ALL
where set_of_books_id in (<set_of_books_ids from previous query>);

The FINANCIALS_SYSTEM_PARAMS_ALL table populates the FINANCIALS_SYSTEM_PARAMETERS view. 

select *
from FINANCIALS_SYSTEM_PARAMETERS
where set_of_books_id in (<set_of_books_ids from previous query>);

Also, the inventory organization field can only be entered in the Location form if either (or both) INV or PO is fully installed.
The following query returns the installation status of these two modules:

select p.application_id, p.status, a.application_short_name
from fnd_product_installations p, fnd_application a
where  p.application_id = a.application_id
and a.application_short_name in ('PO','INV')

 

SOLUTION

Using an Inventory or Purchasing responsibility, navigate Setup > Organizations > Set of Books to ensure a set of books has been selected.
This creates a row in the FINANCIALS_SYSTEM_PARAMS_ALL table, which populates the FINANCIALS_SYSTEM_PARAMETERS view.

Once the set of books has a row in this view, the inventory organization will appear in the LOV on the Locations form.

Oracle Fixed assets Profile Options

 

Account Generator: Purge    Runtime Data	FA: Number Mass Addition Parallel Requests
FA: Allow Swiss Special Assets	FA: Number of Parallel Requests
FA: Archive Table Sizing Factor	FA: Print Debug
FA: Cache Sizing Factor	FA: Print Timing Diagnostics
FA: Deprn Single	FA: Security Profile
FA: Generate Expense Account	FA: Default DPIS to Invoice Date
FA: Large Rollback Segment   Name	FA: Mass Copy All Cost Adjustments

Account Generator: Purge Runtime Data

Always set this profile option to Yes to ensure that Oracle Workflow has finished generating accounting flexfield code combinations.

Temporarily set this option to No at the user level if you are debugging the account generator. Running the account generator with this option set to No fills up the workflow tables and slows performance.

FA: Allow Swiss Special Assets

Controls whether you can use the Swiss insurance calculation method.

If this profile option is set, when you add insurance details on the Fixed Asset Insurance window, you can check the Special Swiss Assets check box, which signifies that this asset will use the Swiss insurance calculation method.

FA: Archive Table Sizing Factor

This profile option controls the space allotted for the temporary tables created when you archive and purge a book.

The sizing factor specifies how many storage kilobytes to reserve for the initial extent. The default value is 100 kilobytes.

Update this option if you are archiving a large number of records for a fiscal year.

FA: Cache Sizing Factor

This profile option controls the database information retained in the concurrent program for performance improvement. The range is 0 to 25.

FA: Deprn Single

Controls the caching buffer used when you run depreciation. You can set the buffer to either No (20) or Yes (1).

If you set FA: Deprn Single to No, the cache is reset after every 20 assets. If you set FA: Deprn Single to Yes, the cache is reset after every asset.

FA: Generate Expense Account

Allows you to generate the depreciation expense account based on Workflow rules.

When you set this profile option to Yes, Generate Accounts reads the profile option and generates the expense account using Workflow rules. If you do not set this profile option or you set it to No, Generate Accounts uses the expense account entered for an asset in the Assignments window.

FA: Large Rollback Segment Name

This profile option indicates the rollback segment name that Oracle Assets uses for programs requiring large rollback space.

If you do not specify a large rollback segment, Oracle Assets uses the first available rollback segment.

FA: Number Mass Addition Parallel Requests

•Controls the number of requests the Mass Additions Post program will run in parallel. When you run the program, Oracle Assets spawns a parent process with several child processes.

•Enter a number between 1 and 20 to specify the maximum number of parallel requests you want to allow. The parent process is not included in this number.

FA: Number of Parallel Requests

•This profile option controls the number of requests that Oracle Assets programs can run in parallel.

•Enter a number between 1 and 20 to specify the maximum number of parallel requests that you want to allow.

FA: Print Debug

This option indicates whether debug tracing messages are printed in concurrent program log files. Support uses these messages to identify a problem with the code.

FA: Print Timing Diagnostics

This option indicates whether timing diagnostic messages are printed in concurrent program log files. Support. uses these messages to identify a problem with the code.

FA: Security Profile

Restricts access to the organizations defined in the security profile. This option is seeded at the site level with the view–all security profile created for the Startup Business Group.

FA: Default DPIS to Invoice Date

Enables you to use the Future Transactions feature by allowing the default date–placed–in–service to be the invoice date, even when the invoice date is in a future accounting period. If you set this profile option to Yes, Oracle Assets defaults the date–placed–in–service to the invoice date for future transactions. If you set this profile option to No, Oracle Assets does not default the date–placed–in–service to the invoice dates, and you cannot use the Future Transactions feature.

FA: Mass Copy All Cost Adjustments

Allows the Mass Copy program to copy all cost adjustments, even when the un-revalued cost is different in the corporate book and the associated tax books.

How Oracle Assets calculates depreciation for assets using the Following Month (FOL MONTH) Prorate convention and Flat Rate..?

 

Asset Information Example:

Cost : 10000

Date Placed In Service : 01-JUN-2007
Method : Flat Rate 12%
Prorate Convention Code : Following Month
Prorate Date : 01-JUL-2007
The following example calculations will result based on these two scenarios utilizing the 'Depreciate when placed in service' flag during asset depreciation.

1. When 'Depreciate when placed in service' flag is Checked:
- The 'Depreciate when placed in service' is checked for the 'Following Month' Prorate convention:

(N>Setup> Assets System> Prorate Convention)

- Then the value of DEPRN_START_DATE in the table FA_BOOKS will be 01-JUN-2007 as you need to start depreciation from date placed in service.
- Through depreciation run for Jul-07, the system should calculate the depreciation as following:
yearly depreciation = cost * flat rate = 10000 * 0.12 = 1200
yearly depreciation for 2007 (Jul to Dec) = 1200/12 * 6 = 600 (because the prorate is 1-Jul-07)
this yearly depreciation should be divided by 7 periods (Jun-Dec) = 600/7 = 85.71
Depreciation in Jul-07 = Jun depreciation + Jul depreciation = 85.71 + 85.71 = 171.42

2. When 'Depreciate when placed in service' flag is Unchecked:

Now, what should be the value if 'depreciate when placed in service' was unchecked before asset
creation:
- The value of DEPRN_START_DATE in the table FA_BOOKS should be 01-JUL-2007 (prorate date)
- When running Jul-2007 depreciation:
yearly depreciation = cost * flat rate = 1000 * 0.12 = 1200
yearly depreciation for 2007 (Jul to Dec) = 1200/12 * 6 = 600 (because the prorate is 1-Jul-07)
this yearly depreciation should be divided by 6 periods (Jul to Dec) = 600/6 = 100
Depreciation in Jul-07 = 100
