Introduction
The following labs are designed to illustrate basic functionality within the Oracle Bills of Material and Oracle Engineering applications as well as some of the more advanced topics that may not be well documented or require a fair amount of setup. The labs build upon each other so they usually must be completed in order. Some labs utilize provided SQL scripts. The scripts can be used as a starting point for developing more advanced versions. These are provided in a single ZIP file that is included as an attachment of MetaLink Note 416802.1. Unzip the file to a location that can be accessed via SQL*Plus or SQL Developer. The requirements for using the labs are: 1. Access to an Oracle Vision Demo instance. Although any test environment can be used, all the examples reference entities within a Vision Demo instance. 2. Oracle SQL*Plus or Oracle SQL Developer. These are free downloads from the Oracle Technology Network (OTN) website: (http://otn.oracle.com). Click the Downloads link to access all downloads. Only one of these is needed to run the SQL scripts. 3. Oracle Workflow Client Release 2.6.3.5 for Microsoft Windows. This is a free download from the Oracle Technology Network Website.
Note: It is recommended that you install Workflow Builder in a new oracle home. Not doing this may cause your existing oracle home to stop functioning properly. Change the Destination Name to a new oracle home name. Change the Destination Path as needed. Click the Next button when complete.

4. Oracle SQL*Net Client. This is a free download from the Oracle Technology Network website as part of the Oracle Client software. This is needed by SQL*Plus, SQL Developer and Workflow Client software to connect to an instance. SQL*Net Client is automatically installed when you install SQL*Plus.

Lab 10 - Create a New Bill Using the ECO Business Object (API)
This example of the ECOBO is a bit more complex. It stages data in some of the interface tables. A custom procedure is defined and loaded into the database. This custom procedure is then called. The custom procedure reads the staged interface data and passes it to the Process_ECO procedure call (the ECO API). This example creates a new ECO that creates a new bill by creating the ECO with a single revised item and component. Since this is a new item with no defined bill yet, the act of adding the component to the revised item on the ECO will cause the bill to be created automatically under ECO control. All run time output is spooled to the file runall.txt in the current directory on your PC and Process_ECO debug output is turned on for your review (see step 5). 1. Locate the folder you where you unzipped the lab SQL scripts and access the ECOBO subfolder (see Introduction). There are 8 files in all: Name runall.bat runall.sh runall.sql DefineParameters.sql LoadProcedure.sql Description Run to process all (Windows) Run to process all (UNIX) Called by runall.bat or runall.sh to run all SQL scripts Define the processing variables to pass to the your custom procedure. Defines and loads a custom procedure which (when called) will: read the BOM and ENG interface tables data (loaded next) load the interface data into ECO API table variables call the ECO API to process the data Loads data into the BOM and ENG interface tables. This example utilizes the BOM and ENG interface tables to store the data being imported. Calls your custom procedure loaded by LoadProcedure.sql Displays the created ECO

LoadData(Create).sql CallProcedure.sql DisplayEco.sql 2.

Edit runall.bat. Change the SQLPLUSW.EXE path in the batch file to match the location of the file on your PC. Run runall.bat. This batch file calls runall.sql that in turn calls all necessary sql scripts necessary to call the API. If it fails, examine the debug output file and spool output file (runall.txt) to determine the cause. Make corrections as needed and rerun until successful. The debug file exists on the celalnx23 server in /usr/tmp (see the complete name of the file in the spool output file and on the screen). When the script runs successfully, edit the DefineParameters.sql and change the v_commit parameter to TRUE. This will allow the scripts to commit the ECO when successful. define v_commit = 'TRUE';

Lab 11 - Explode a Bill Using the Exploder_Userexit

Note: The exploder userexit is an Oracle supplied procedure to explode a bill. It writes the explosion data to the BOM_EXPLOSIONS_TEMP table. This is a Global Temporary table, meaning data written to the table is automatically deleted once the SQL*Plus session ends. You must copy the exploded data to a custom table if they wish to save the results. 1. Locate the folder you where you unzipped the lab SQL scripts and access the Explode_Bill subfolder (see Introduction). Start SQL*Plus Run Exploder_Userexit.sql Enter an organization_code and item name at the prompt. Verify the output against the application. (N)Bills of Material > BOM > Indented Bills Select organization=M1 Enter item = <same item you entered for the exploder script> The script results should agree with the form query results.

Lab 16 - Approve an ECO via Workflow

This lab illustrates how to use Oracle Workflow for ECO Approvals. Most organizations have some form of approval process before engineering change orders (ECOs) are implemented. By using Oracle Workflow, the approval process can be customized to meet each organizations needs. When Workflow is in control of the approval process, the ECO approval status is set to Approval Requested. Before the approval status is changed, the workflow approval process can be aborted. Workflow manages the approval process until the entire approval flow is complete. Only then is the ECO approval status updated to either Approved or Rejected. If an error occurs during the Workflow approval process, the approval status is set to Processing Error.

Standard Workflow Process

One workflow process, named Standard Approval Process," is predefined when Engineering is installed, regardless of whether or not the entire Oracle Workflow product is installed. If the entire Workflow product is installed, you can modify this process or create new processes. If you use the Standard Workflow Process, you must assign a role to the Standard Approval Notification" activity. Otherwise, the process will fail. If the Workflow product is not fully installed, you can alter only the Standard Approval Process.

Section I - Setting Up Oracle Engineering

1. Create an Approval List if you have not already done so. (N) Engineering > Setup > Approval Lists Enter unique name for the approval list, ###-List Enter description, ### Approval List Enter a unique sequence Enter your Employee Name <Last Name%> to query for the name Save Create ECO Priorities (N) Engineering> Setup > Priorities Enter a unique priority alphanumeric name, ###-Priority. Enter a priority sequence. This is a number between 0 and 9 to denote highest to lowest priority. Enter a description for the priority. Save. Create an ECO Type that includes the 'Standard Approval Process' as its workflow process. Attach the Standard Approval Process for each priority you want to use. (N) Engineering> Setup > Change Types Enter a unique change type, ###-Type Uncheck the Engineering Also flag to indicate this change type can be used in both manufacturing and engineering. Enter a description for the change order type. To associate this ECO type with a Workflow process, click the Processes button. In the Priority column, choose 'Standard' from the list of values. In the Process column, choose 'Standard Approval Process' from the list of values. Save.
