Disabling Projects Invoice Line Fact in the Repository for Oracle Fusion Applications

By default, the Billing metrics are mapped to both Invoice Line Fact -W_PROJ_INVOICE_LINE_F and Invoice Line Distribution Fact -W_PROJ_INVOICE_DIST_F. For customers whose only data source is the Fusion database, the Invoice Line fact is an obsolete table and has to be disabled.

Prerequisites:

Oracle recommends that before you start this process you make a back up of the BI metadata repository (that is, the RPD file).

To Disable Projects Invoice Line Fact, first disable metrics that are defined only in the line fact, then disable the invoice line fact. These metrics are around the Retention area and are not supported in the Oracle Fusion Applications currently.

  1. To delete unnecessary metrics, see Deleting Unnecessary Metrics.
  2. To disable Invoice Line Fact, see Disabling the Invoice Line Fact.

Deleting Unnecessary Metrics

Before disabling the logical table source, the metrics defined using these Logical Table Sources have to be unmapped / deleted so as to have a consistent repository.

  1. In Oracle BI Administration Tool, edit the BI metadata repository (for example, OracleBIAnalyticsApps.rpd).
  2. In the Business Modelling and Mapping layer, navigate to Fact – Project Billing.
  3. Delete the listed metrics.

Disabling the Invoice Line Fact

Once you delete the unsupported metrics, you can disable the invoice line fact.

  1. In Oracle BI Administration Tool, edit the BI metadata repository (for example, OracleBIAnalyticsApps.rpd).
  2. In the Business Modelling and Mapping layer, navigate to Fact – Project Billing.
  3. Select the 'Fact_W_PROJ_INVOICE_LINE_F_Invoice_Line' Logical Table Source, then right-click, and choose Edit.
  4. Display the General tab, and select the Disabled check box, then click OK.
  5. Select the 'Fact_W_PROJ_INVOICE_LINE_F_Invoice_Line_ITD' Logical Table Source, then right-click, and choose Edit.
  6. Display the General tab, and select the Disabled check box, then click OK.
  7. Save the changes.
  8. Run the Consistency Check and ensure that there are no errors, save the repository file, and clear Oracle BI Enterprise Edition Cache.

    If you are making the changes in offline mode, then restart the Oracle BI Server and Oracle BI Presentation Services.
