| 1.04 | Financials | User Defined Attributes - The Magic Bullet for Oracle Project
Customizations Neeraj Garg, Associate VP, Client Services, Project Partners LLC Oracle Projects introduced User-Defined Attributes (UDAs) with Oracle Family Pack K (RUP1), 11.5.9. UDAs are similar to DFFs but much more powerful in 4 major ways: 1.They are unlimited, YES – UNLIMITED unlike DFFs wherein you are at the whims and fancies of the Oracle developer – 10, 15, 20…. 2.You can have many records of data associated to a single entity as opposed to only 1 record. For example, if I would like to associate the name and description of many products that are associated to my project, this cannot be achieved with DFFs but because UDAs support association of multiple records, this is easily doable. 3.They can be setup in Oracle Projects to look and feel like a standard setup option for the project thus allowing for no additional training issue. 4.UDAs provide for a function accessed via a link or a button that can be used to call any validation/processing logic needed. Before going too far, let’s discuss some shortcomings with UDAs… 1.UDAs are available only with the HTML based screens that come with Oracle Project Management and hence unless you are implementing this application you are out of luck. 2.UDA display screens are a little clumsy: a.UDA screens do not scroll and hence if you have a multi-record element that has a lot of attributes, each row wraps around itself causing each record to become pretty “fat”. b.There is no capacity for real time sorts or searches and hence UDAs are not recommended for large amounts of records that cannot be easily found in 1 or 2 pages. c.Delete icon cannot be hidden and hence in order to hold Audit information, you need to have a trigger on the UDA table to disable deletes. d.UDA’s are available only for Projects and Tasks although they can be controlled by Project Type and or classifications. But if you can deal with these minor irritants, UDAs open a wonderful world of possibilities that allow you to meet requirements not met by Oracle functionality seamlessly. Here are a few real life examples how we at Project Partners have used UDAs to meet various customer requirements: 1.Financial Setup for Project via Project Management. 2.Setup and Maintenance of Project Approval Matrix and a Complete Approval History In Summation, if you can ignore a few minor irritants, UDAs can open up a new world for all of you in implementation roles. This world now allows you to create simple, integrated custom screens that you need to meet gaps from your customer requirements. The coolest thing is that if you use standard Oracle APIs, this is completely upgradeable. Happy Customizing…. |

| 2.01 | General | The Challenges of Managing Risk and Controls while Implementing
Oracle e-Business Suite Liz Doster, Associate Partner, IBM Global Business Serivces In the post-Sarbanes-Oxley world, effective controls and security are a “must have” and many companies seek an integrated approach to major systems and transformation projects. The simple truth is that today’s regulatory environment has had a significant impact on the need to integrate controls into the ERP implementation process. This has been a direct result of the Sarbanes- Oxley compliance requirements. Companies are pushing back regarding the on-going effort and cost of monitoring and maintaining compliant controls to meet SOX requirements. Most companies view these costs as unaffordable and are demanding that their ERP systems integrate properly designed controls as part of the ERP implementation process.Companies want to decrease the manual efforts and reduce the excessive cost of compliance and are now requesting assistance in designing and help in ensuring that proper (and compliant) controls are integrated into their ERP implementations. We will present an integrated approach that brings experience and skills across all project dimensions – controls, tax, applications, analytics, process, change, project management and technology. This presentation will discuss the challenges and potential solutions, using real world examples from companies across a variety of industries and sizes, to managing risk and controls while implementing Oracle E-Business Suite. |

| 2.08 | General | Auditing the DBA; What non-technical managers and auditors
should know. Cam Larner, President, Absolute Technologies In these days of SOX compliance, functional applications experts are being assigned to develop and maintain proper controls. These individuals are well suited to design and approve business process related controls, but are often ill equipped when it comes to understanding how to audit and control technical professionals, like DBAs and IT Staff, whose methods of access to enterprise data may be confusing or unknown to non-techies. Nevertheless, steps must be taken to introduce appropriate and effective controls and support these controls by creating and maintaining a secure audit trail. To accomplish this, those managers and auditors tasked with compliance must gain better understanding of the roles, privileges and capabilities of their DBAs, and how to effectively audit DBA activity in the database. They cannot simply rely on DBAs themselves to develop measures to audit themselves. This would violate basic segregation of duties principles. This paper will discuss the approaches to and issues with auditing the DBA, addressed to non-technical managers and auditors. |
| 2.09 | General | Segregation of Duties: Beyond Provisioning to Real-Time Access
Management Mark Stebelton, Consultant, LogicalApps Ineffective Segregation of Duties (SOD) has been a key factor contributing to the high cost of compliance for most companies. While some technology providers are offering solutions to automate the "detection and prevention" of SOD violations, the focus of these solutions has largely been on the provisioning process – restricting the functions end-users can perform through application configuration files or security systems. However, removing conflicting access for every user is impossible for most companies where employees have to wear more than one hat. And since operational and financial risk happens at many points across a business process, mitigating that risk requires you to manage user access in real-time, protecting transactions and critical data elements long after the user has been "provisioned". Attend this session to learn how leading companies are using a variety of embedded governance techniques to deploy compensating controls that provide access prevention down to the field level, as well as continuous transaction monitoring to detect suspicious activity – both critical to any comprehensive SOD program. |
| 3.05 | General | Future Shock: Impact of HRMS Implementation on Existing Non-HR
Modules Mohan Dutt, Global Oracle Team Member, Hyperion Solutions Corporation We implemented Oracle HRMS on an instance where nearly twenty modules are already live.

| 6.14 | RTV | Business Process Language (BPEL) - The Wave to the Future Paul Cyphers, Solution Beacon Business processes have for a long time been an integral and important part of leveraging and managing ERP applications. All the major applications (Oracle, JD Edwards, PeopleSoft and SAP) have spent a great deal of time mapping business processes to the software processes. During the later 1990s there was an extensive movement towards standardizing an execution language that could be deployed over multiple applications. Oracle now utilizes Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) in the execution of these processes within and across multiple applications to meet business requirements. With the addition of other major applications to the Oracle product line, there is a need to understand how this impacts the integration of applications for the future. The presentation provides an overview of what BPEL is and what it currently does, along with an understanding of how this impacts the integration through Fusion Middleware and Oracle’s future Fusion software. Also included is a demo of how the Oracle BPEL tool can be deployed to integrate and orchestrate applications using the various components of the service oriented architecture. |

Easy Health Checks for Oracle Apps Lynne Paulus, DBA, Fair Isaac There are a variety of easy data checks that can be automated to track the health of your Oracle Apps data and a summary of the check results can be automatically emailed to interested parties on a daily basis. We check a wide variety of data conditions in such areas as User Security, User Load Issues, Profile Settings, Invalid Objects, Custom Direct Change monitoring and Module specific data issues. Most of the checks apply to all E-Business Suite sites. We currently monitor for over 75 different data conditions and new checks can be added with as little as 5 minutes of effort. Even though the health checks do not 'prevent' data changes, we have often been able to detect conditions before there is a negative impact. These checks save us significant time in Production support and problem analysis. Get a jump start in implementing automated health checks in your environment by using the SQL statements provided to perform some specific health checks. Supplemental Material |
