Info

OverviewPeriodic maintenance is required to keep your Noetix views generation insynchronization with your Oracle configuration. Noetix Corporation recommendsfrequent regenerations to keep NoetixViews for Oracle E-Business Suite (NoetixViews)metadata and user accounts synchronized with changes made to your Oracle databaseor applications (for example, to pick up security changes or new flexfields). Thefrequency with which you regenerate will depend on the frequency of changes youmake in your Oracle environment.Noetix views must be regenerated in the following situations:• A significant patch to Oracle E-Business Suite has been applied.• You have upgraded your Oracle E-Business Suite (if your current version ofNoetixViews supports that version).• You have upgraded Oracle Database.• You have added ledgers, operating units, inventory organizations, time categories,collection plans, or collection plan elements in your Oracle environment.• The key or descriptive flexfield configuration in Oracle E-Business Suite haschanged, such as a key flexfield structure has been added or modified.• You have created additional Oracle General Ledger flexfield security rules inOracle E-Business Suite or a new segment of the Accounting Flexfield.• The configuration of the Codes, Lookups, or Types values has changed.• You have received hook scripts or customizations from Noetix Technical Support,but not a new product software.In all of these circumstances, Noetix views must be regenerated to incorporate anychanges made to either NoetixViews or the Oracle configuration.Should I regenerate, or should I upgrade??• Have you received a new version of NoetixViews? An upgradeinstalls a new version of NoetixViews.• Has your Oracle environment changed or do you need to apply apatch? A regeneration recreates your NoetixViews metadata afterchanges have been made to your database or applications and is oftenneeded to apply patches from Noetix Corporation as well. This chapterexplains how Noetix views are regenerated.242 NoetixViews for Oracle E-Business Suite Administrator Guide
When regenerating, you must start with a successful Noetix views generation (that is,the last time you ran Stages 1 through 4 of the generation process, they must have allcompleted successfully). If your generation was not successful, use the steps describedin Option 1: Generate Using NoetixViews Administrator and Option 2: GenerateUsing Scripts in “Generation of Views” to complete your generation, or call NoetixTechnical Support. Attempting a regeneration when the initial generation was notsuccessful may fail and cause you to lose important generation settings.NOTE: After regenerating the views, to provide Noetix query users the latest views withappropriate security through query tools, you may need to update the query tool meta-layersand take additional steps. For information, refer to the documentation of the query tools.Choose a RegenerationMethodNoetix views can be regenerated with the use of the NoetixViews for Oracle E-BusinessSuite Administrator (NoetixViews Administrator) or scripts. In addition, regenerationscan be scheduled using a Concurrent Manager job or using a UNIX-based Cron job.You will need to choose the method that will work best for your environment.Consider the following requirements when making your choice:• How familiar are you with Noetix views generations and regenerations? If youdo not have much experience administering your NoetixViews for Oracle E-Business Suite (NoetixViews) environment, you may do best with a wizard-basedregeneration, which provides more information about the prompts asked duringthe process.• What environment or computer do you currently use for administrative tasks? Ifyou use Microsoft Windows, SQL*Plus, Cron (the UNIX scheduling service), orthe Concurrent Manager (the Oracle scheduling service) for other administrativetasks, you may want to use a similar process for regenerating NoetixViews.• Do you need to regenerate outside of business hours? If so, the Cron orConcurrent Manager methods, which can be scheduled, may work best for you.Chapter 7: Regeneration of Views 243
