adsplice

[Linda]

Hi Erman!
So,  upgrade from 12.1  to 12.2.6
Now I have difficulty to reguster adsplice custom top,
so it would be SAME as in pre-upgrade.

Currently in pre-upgrade and should be like that in after upgrade:
Application_short_name is XKIRN
the base_path is $CUST_TOP
and the physical name of directory  on the filesystem  is name xxtop.

SO, how I make the adsplice to create fs on 12.2  the above way.


Here is my relevant fragment of those files.
Can you pls suggest way ? What would you do ?

xkirnprod.txt
------
# Product specific Product ID's
XKIRN     20003
# application id, abbreviation, shortname, prefix
20003 xxtop  XKIRN  APP

newprods.txt
---------------
product=xkirn
base_product_top=*APPL_TOP*
oracle_schema=xkirn
sizing_factor=100
main_tspace=APPS_TS_TX_DATA
index_tspace=APPS_TS_TX_IDX
temp_tspace=TEMP
default_tspace=APPS_TS_TX_DATA

xkirnterr.txt
------------------------
# product names in this language
c     xkirn  Customer_App

Thanks,Linda

Hi Linda,

I couldn't understand your concern perfectly, but here is a tip for you:

Ref: Developing and Deploying Customizations in Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.2 (Doc ID 1577661.1)
-->
 If you upgraded your environment from an earlier release to Release 12.2, then you should run adsplice for your custom application again after the upgrade, using the same application ID and application name as when you originally added your custom application. Running the Release 12.2 version of adsplice after the upgrade helps ensure that the custom top folder for your application will be included when the two file systems are synchronized during online patching.

Hi Erman!
Thanks :)
My concern is that as we have all setting ( application_name -xkirn,base_path -$cust_top, actual directory xxtop )  different.
So, adsplice will create for me
xkirn  directory on file system, instead of xxtop...

If it does, can  I change in custom_XX.env ? will be problems with online patching ?

Thx,Linda

I see.. Linda, it is risky.
You should add custom tops with adsplice in EBS 12.2. So adsplice writes the directory names and everyting to the relevant places (in the database).
So changing custom env is a risky thing, it is not a good plan (in my opinion) --(some code may take the path from the env variable, but some may take it from the database..)

What you can do is, playing with the cleprod.txt...
remember, as for adding the a custom top in application, you copy the cleprod.txt to xxcustom.txt and use that file during the run of the adsplice.
When you open cleprod.txt , you will see the inputs (adsplice inputs actually)
So if modify them, then maybe you can reach your goal. (you can do several tests to see the results of your modification)
Open the cleprod.txt and see what I mean.

I.e Following lines:
the abbrevation "may be" the name of the custom directory. ( because it is written lowercase -- you see what I mean, but this is just a guess.. I worths trying..)

# application id, abbreviation, shortname, prefix
13014 cle CLE APP

If you modify this line, maybe you can change the behaviour of adsplice.

So, if I were you, I would go with the adsplice but I would try the change the behaviour of adsplice...

Also, consider having ( application_name,base_path and actual directory to be the same. Maybe it is the time to make it normal. :)

I also don't see a point for having this conf. If you need this conf in your custom apps layer, then change the  standard apps conf  to be the normal, and do a trick in your custom apps layer, or OS. (for example, in Os you can create a softlink...)

Anyways, these are my thoughts.
I hope you 'll work around this... Update me with your action plan and the result:)

Hi Erman!
Thank you for thoughts! Its so good that I have somebody to talk to  about it!
Thank you once more!! I appreciate it on Fr night :)

Yes... I will do trial and error thing with backup.. No other choice for now
Its env coming from 10.7, so those choices were made then and came up to this 12.2 that long way -wrong way  :)
And now here I am struggling with 12.2 :)

Changing short_name -> consequences with customizations /hardcorded somewhere that i dont have clue about..
Changing direcory -> the same..
What ever I do  - consequences :)

I will update you on the result :)
Thank you again!
Linda

No problem Linda. Your questions are good :)
So anytime.
The purpose of this forum is actually discussing these kinds of things.
So thank you..

Hi Erman!
adsplice did not "like" config... where xxtop was the name of dir. Giving errors:
like
Product file contains information for the wrong product [pd].
  Expected: xkirn
  Found:    xxtop

As cannot change the application_name XKIRN, so now we have the  all the same.. :)
also the xkirn appl_top phys dir.

Now, just need to find all "hardCoded" things..
Donlike idea to use symblic links either.. as this is new techn/oline patching. So,not sure what issues can met  during synchronizations..

Thank you :)

Hi Linda,

There are some things that can be done but all of them is risky. I couldnt take a look to the input files of adsplice closer, but maybe there is one more thing to change there? Maybe not?
This soft link thing however is not dangerous.
You can use soft links and rsync together for the solution. App can create files in a directory and then it can read the files from another , transparently. ( Using a combination of linking and synchronizing). Standard App utils wont be affected from this as long as the supported directory arch is there..
