Considerations

• Key Points
– The standard co-existence functionality transfers balances from R12 to the Fusion
General Ledger
– The drill through functionality in the Fusion General Ledger journals inquiry page
launches the account enquiry page in R12, you must manually enter the period,
currency, ledger and accounting range you want to query
– Where access and identity management have not been implemented the user most
logon to R12 using their R12 credentials before the account enquiry page is launched
– The Fusion General Ledger includes a live embedded essbase cube which is updated
real-time when posting journals in Fusion
– Reporting is done in the Fusion General Ledger where a number of reporting tools are
available such as BI Publisher, BI Answers and Financial Reporting
– Journals which complete in error during the journal import execution on Fusion cannot
be corrected using the journal import errors correction page and must be transferred
again or updated directly on the interface table using SQL


What is Golden Gate?

•

•

Golden Gate is a log based real-time change data capture, golden gate works by analyzing the
transaction logs generated every time you transact on your database and applies these
transactions to your target database
Runtime parameters allow you to control various aspects of golden gate synchronization,
such as:
–
–
–

•

•

•

Data selection, mapping, transformation and replication
Error reporting and logging
Resource usage

Goldengate is a non-instrusive, low-impact application used for synchronizing data across
multiple sources with sub-second latency. Goldengate allows simple transformation,
maintains transactional integrity and is resilient against interruptions and failures
Oracle provides the configuration files containing the runtime parameters which control the
data selection, mapping, transformation and replication required for the co-existence
offering so you will not require specialized skills for the installation and configuration of
Oracle Goldengate
Your database must be in archive log mode


How Does Golden Gate Work?

How is the data transferred from R12 to Fusion?

Initial Load






Initial load is run on the command line as part of the Oracle
Goldengate installation
The initial load replicates the Fusion setup data for ledger, calendar
and period configuration
GL_XFR_LEDGERS, GL_XFR_CALENDARS and GL_XFR_PERIODS
tables in R12 are populated with the setup data after the initial
load has completed
Oracle Goldengate will replicate any incremental setup changes
after the initial load (New Periods, Ledgers etc.)



Mapping

The R12 co-existence patch introduces a number of pages which
are used to map the R12 setup data to the Fusion setup data
replicated during the initial load



Transfer

In R12 there are two concurrent requests “Fusion Balance Transfer
Incremental” and “Fusion Balance Transfer Full” which are run to
transfer the balances from R12 to Fusion
• These concurrent requests write balance data to the
GL_XFR_INTERFACE table on R12. The mapping data is used to
apply any required transformations on period, ledger, calendar etc.
 Goldengate monitors the transaction logs for this table and once a
record is commited to the table it will replicate the data to the
GL_XFR_INTERFACE table on Fusion
 Once the data has been replicated Goldengate calls a stored
procedure which submits Journal Import on Fusion



Journal Import

Records populated on both GL_INTERFACE and GL_XFR_INTERFACE
in Fusion are processed by the standard Journal Import routine
and imported into the Fusion General Ledger



Standard Behaviour


Key Table Structures – Fusion Applications

•
•
•
•

GL_XFR_SOURCE_SYSTEMS – Identifies the R12 Instance
GL_XFR_SYSTEM_LEDGERS – Lists the Ledgers configured in Fusion Applications
GL_XFR_TRACKING – Tracking Information for Journal Import run on Fusion General Ledger
GL_XFR_INTERFACE – Structured almost identical to the GL_INTERFACE table this table contains the
journals which will be imported into the Fusion General Ledger


Key Table Structures – R12

•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

GL_XFR_SOURCE_SYSTEMS – Identifies the R12 Instance
GL_XFR_LEDGER_MAPPINGS – Maps R12 Ledgers to Fusion Ledgers
GL_XFR_CALENDAR_MAPPINGS – Maps R12 Calendar to Fusion Calendar
GL_XFR_PERIOD_MAPPINGS – Maps R12 Period Names to Fusion Period Names
GL_XFR_CCID_MAPPINGS – Maps R12 Code Combinations to Fusion Code Combinations
GL_XFR_LEDGERS – List of Ledgers configured in Fusion
GL_XFR_CALENDARS – List of Calendars configured in Fusion
GL_XFR_PERIODS – List of Periods configured in Fusion
GL_XFR_TRACKING – Tracking Information for Journal Import run on Fusion General Ledger
GL_XFR_INTERFACE – Structured almost identical to the GL_INTERFACE table this table contains the
journals which will be imported into the Fusion General Ledger


Customizing the Drill Behaviour
• Key Points
– Requires additional configuration on R12, customizations are generally not supported by
Oracle Support
– Transferring of the R12 journals instead of incremental balances to Fusion General
Ledger preserves the R12 journal information in Fusion General Ledger (Category, Batch
Name, Journal Name, Reference Columns etc.)
– Patch 14830189 delivers functionality to add a custom hook in the Fusion journals
screen on the amount field for non standard journal sources. Patch 14330256 includes
revised R12 sub-ledger account inquiry page which allows us to pass arguments when
calling the page
– The reference columns on the imported journal lines in Fusion contain the data required
to link back to the R12 journals
– On Fusion a custom jsp is deployed, the custom jsp references the data stored in the
Fusion journal line reference columns and passes this data as arguments when calling
the R12 sub-ledger accounting enquiry screen
– Custom Reporting in Fusion Applications can use the reference columns to drill back to
R12 and retrieve information directly from the sub-ledgers.


Standard Behaviour

Custom Behaviour



The journal data in Fusion now appears as it was created in R12
allowing you to search using the R12 journal name, batch,
category etc



Hook for non-standard Oracle
journal sources delivered as part
of the enhancement request in
patch 14830189



Assess and Identity Management must be configured to
eliminate the need for the user to sign-on using their R12 local
login



Reference data on Fusion journal
lines used to pass the arguments
when calling the page in R12

Custom jsp invoked by clicking on the journal line amount in
Fusion calls the R12 sub-ledger accounting enquiry page for the
relevant journal line in Fusion
