Oracle Pedigree and Serialization Manager Process Guide Release 1.2 Part Number E36379-01 | Contents | Previous | Next |
There are several common functions that are used throughout the Oracle Pedigree and Serialization Manager (OPSM) application. Several pages within the application use these common functions. These common functions work basically the same for each page within the application. These common functions are documented here to provide ease of understanding and to prevent repetition in the documentation.
This chapter covers the following topics:
Several pages in Oracle Pedigree and Serialization Manager (OPSM) display the results from a search in a table format. Using the common table functionality you can manipulate the table so that it fits your needs. The common table functionality includes:
Detaching a table from the application page.
Changing the columns that appear in a table.
Reordering the columns that appear in a table.
Use these procedures to detach a table, to change the columns that appear in a table, and to reorder the columns that appear in a table:

Several pages in Oracle Pedigree and Serialization Manager (OPSM) require you to enter search criteria before you can maintain that particular type of data using that page. OPSM enables you to save the search criteria that you entered for a page so that you don’t have to continually enter it every time that you access the page.
Use these procedures to create a saved search, personalize a saved search, and delete a saved search:
Navigate to an Oracle and Pedigree and Serialization Manager page that requires search criteria to be entered.
Enter search criteria for the page and click the Search button.
Example of the Maintain Locations Page with a Search Performed
All of the available data that matches the search criteria appears in a table format.
Click the Save button located in the search criteria region of the page.

Several pages in Oracle Pedigree and Serialization Manager (OPSM) that initiate a background process use the job instances functionality. For example, the Product Synchronization, Lot Synchronization, Work Order Serialization, and Web Service Exceptions pages. The job instances functionality works basically the same for each page but the actual title of each page will vary depending on the process you can perform from that page.
The job instances functionality enables you to manage and maintain job instances. A job instance represents one individual instance of running a particular background process. When you initiate a process, the system assigns a job instance Id to that specific run of the process. Using the job instance Id you can verify if the process completed successfully or if there were errors or warnings during the execution of the process. Messages are included with the job instance to describe if the process completed successfully or if a process did not complete successfully (warnings and errors). Using the job instances functionality you can:
Search for a job instance.
View the job instance and its associated messages.
Delete a job instance.
Use these procedures to search for (basic and advanced search), view, and delete job instances:
To Search for Job Instances (Basic Search)
Navigate to an Oracle Pedigree and Serialization Manager page that initiates a process.
After you initiate a process, you can use the job instances functionality to monitor the background process and to view the results of the process.
Example of the Product Synchronization page that uses job instances functionality
In the Search: Job Instances region, enter the search criteria for the job instances using one or more of these fields:
Field Name | Description |
---|---|
Job Instance Id | (Optional) Enter a specific job instance Id. |
Job Status | (Optional) Select the job status for the job instances. Job Statuses are:
Job statuses are defined using the system Lookup Type PAS_JOB_STATUS. |
Web Service Name | This field is only available when using the job instances functionality on the Web Service Exceptions page. (Optional) Select the web service name. Web service names are:
|
Created By | (Optional) Enter the individual that created the job instances (initiated the process). |
Creation Date | (Optional) Select the date the job instances were created. |
Otherwise, you can click the Search button without entering any search criteria and all available job instance Ids will appear.
Click the Search button.
Example of the Product Synchronization page (Basic Search)
All of the job instance Ids that match the search criteria appear in the Search Results: Job Instances region in a table format. The messages that are generated for each job instance Id appear in the Job Instance Messages region (bottom of page). The fields that appear for each job instance Id are:
Field Name | Description |
---|---|
Job Instance Id | Displays the job instance Id for a specific job instance. |
Job Status | Displays the status of the job instance Id. |
Web Service Name | This field is only available when using the job instances functionality on the Web Service Exceptions page. Displays the web service name. Web service names are:
|
Creation Date | Displays the date the job instance Id was created. |
Created By | Displays the individual that created the job instance Id. |
Message Severity | Displays an icon to represent the severity of the messages that were generated for the job instance Id. A red circle with an X indicates the job instance Id was unsuccessful and contains error messages and may also contain warning messages. A yellow triangle with an exclamation point indicates the job instance Id was successful but it contains warning messages. |
Below the Search Results: Job Instances region appears the Job Instance Messages region. If a row in the Search Results: Job Instances table contains a warning or error message severity for a job instance Id the messages for that condition display in this region. If no message severity exists, informational messages display in this region (blue circle with the letter "i'). Each text message associated with the job instance Id and the message severity icon (informational, warning, or error) for the message displays in this region.
Click the Advanced button to perform an advanced search for job instances.
To Search for Job Instances (Advanced Search)
Use the Advanced Search functionality to perform a more detailed search for specific job instance Ids. Field operators associated with the search criteria fields can be used during an Advanced Search so that a range of job instances can be easily retrieved.
Navigate to an Oracle Pedigree and Serialization Manager page that initiates a background process.
After you initiate a process, you can use the job instances functionality to monitor the process and to view the results of the process.
Example of the Product Synchronization page that uses job instances functionality
Click the Advanced button.
Note: Clicking the Advanced or Basic button will keep the values in the base criteria fields.
