Re: We get an error on ExcelToCI as Run time error
Hi,
Please see if below is helpful else open SR in correct group for which you are using excel to CI.
The application of Microsoft Security patches appear to have invalidated two “temp” files that Microsoft Office uses when Excel is opened.
This prevents the Macros for “Journal Uploads” and “Excel to CI” from executing.
Please follow below steps to fix the issue, if it's due to application Microsoft Security patch:
- Deleting the MSForms.exd from any Temp subfolder in the user's profile via Windows Explorer
C:\Users[user.name]\AppData\Local\Temp\Excel8.0\MSForms.exd
C:\Users[user.name]\AppData\Local\Temp\VBE\MSForms.exd
C:\Users[user.name]\AppData\Local\Temp\Word8.0\MSForms.exd. - Retest opening the JRNL1 file
- If issue still occurs, try shutting down and restarting the client machine.
Trust Center settings for Active X are:
- Prompt me before enabling… Radio button selected.
- Safe Mode checkbox selected
Macros:
- Enable All Macros (last radio button)
- Trust Access to VBA project checkbox selected.
Either the user or their admin needs to ensure the settings are set appropriately. Otherwise, the macro code will not be executed.
Thanks,
Deepa.
Re: Query to see "days until next password change"
From the last update of Bruno you can also do the following: it's good to have a check on which users are potential candidates based on the filters already supplied (and avoid hardcoded values where possible), but you should also run queries to find which accounts have large password life times … this for as much as it is not visible from for example the above query, but typically you can create another query to put focus on actual settings of the password life time value itself (ignoring when last actual password reset), so you'd have a query with a different sorting column as here you're looking for accounts that have abnormal (high) or no password life time.
Re: Query to see "days until next password change"
( I couldn' t resist and I've done your homework ;-)
SELECT u.username
, u.password_change_date
, u.profile
, NVL( TO_CHAR( u.password_change_date + TO_NUMBER( p.limit DEFAULT NULL ON CONVERSION ERROR ) ), 'never' )
, ROUND( MONTHS_BETWEEN( u.password_change_date + TO_NUMBER( p.limit DEFAULT NULL ON CONVERSION ERROR )
, sysdate )
) months
FROM dba_users u
INNER JOIN dba_profiles p
ON p.profile = u.profile
AND p.resource_name = 'PASSWORD_LIFE_TIME'
[WHERE …]
;
Best regards,
Bruno
Re: Query to see "days until next password change"
Hello Charles,
simpler: ADD_MONTHS( password_change_date, 12 ) but maybe you should go to some more complexity than "add 1 year"; indeed, is this one year sure for any user? You might join with DBA_PROFILES to see the actual limit assigned to each user (and take into account the possibility of value "UNLIMITED")
Best regards,
Bruno Vroman.

Re: In PeopleSoft ERS Vouchers how to process lines with Tariff
Oh wow! we are lucky, in our case we do not use ERS for many supplier/locations and the ones we do wouldn't have a tariff - thankfully.
For the type of business we are, the cost of the tariff has to become part of the cost of the item, so we can't add a line for the tariff or it to the misc charge currently. I guess if we had another for DUTY that might work, assuming the coding behind it goes to the right place.
If you have a line specific for the tariff, are they receiving it to create the ERS voucher?

Re: Migration Installation Failing at Bootstrap
Hi,
We would never allow our clients to do a migration like you are dong. We insist on always doing fresh installs since they are always much cleaner that migration installs. I am pretty sure fresh installs are also more highly tested by Oracle and used much more frequently by Siebel customers.
If it is not too late suggest to change your whole approach to something that is much safer and much more highly tested that what you are attempting.

Re: Migration Installation Failing at Bootstrap
You should start over and not to try to troubleshoot something that started wrong.
