Hello Bilal, Eid Mubarak
I am in need of a little help. I have studied Oracle financials for quite some time. Tried to get as much knowledge as possible but unfortunately I do not have practical experience of a real time world. Even then, I got a job offer here in Texas USA.
The poject details are not very complicated but I do not have confidence. I need little tips and tricks to handle issues.
Is it possible to have your working email address or phone number in Karachi ? I will be very grateful to you.

Hi Ahmed,
You have a real good blog. Thanks for posting so much information.
I have 1 doubt regarding collaboration Suite. It would be really great if you can help me.
I have installed Oracle Collabsuite 10g and during installation given SMTP port as 30. Now after installation I want to change the port from 30 to 25. Is there any way to do the same. I tried many options and also referred to documents, but did not get any help. I also posted the same in Oracle Forum
http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=648602&tstart=0
, but did not get any reply.
Thanking in advance.

Advait Deo
Perform the following steps:
1.
Open the Oracle Email listener configuration file as follows:
*
Open $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/listener.ora
*
Locate the ESSMI entry for SMTP_IN in the configuration file.
*
Change the port number for the ESSMI entry to the desired value and save the file.
*
Stop and restart the Oracle Email listener.
2.
Update the Oracle Email process parameter as follows:
*
Start Directory Manager (for Oracle Internet Directory) and log in as orcladmin.
*
Navigate to:
* Entry Management
* cn=OracleContext
* cn=Computers
* cn=your_hostname
* cn=mtier
* cn=EMailServer
* cn=mailProcessConfig
*
Check entries for the different processes. For example:
cn=your_hostname:UM_SYSTEM:smtp_in
*
Click Process Entry in the Navigator.
*
In the Properties tab, update the value of the orclmailport attribute to the desired value.
*
Click Apply to save the changes.
3.
Reinitialize the SMTP process as follows:
*
Log in as the ias_admin user in the Enterprise Manager Web site at:
http://hostname.domain:1810/
*
Navigate to the Middle-tier instance and select System Components, and then Unified Messaging.
*
Select the Unified Messaging Inbound SMTP process and click Reinitialize.
Note: You can also use the oesctl command to reinitialize the SMTP process from the command line.
Hi Ahmad,
Thanks a lot for the detailed steps. I followed the steps exactly, but I am still facing the issue with mails.
I have stopped sendmail OS level process running on port 25 and then made changes in listener.ora file on apps side. Bounced the listener. Made changes in OID. The orclMailPort parameter was Null, I put a value of 25 in that field.
However , since I am using collabsuite 10g, I was not able to find “Unified Messaging” in System Components and was not able to re-initialize. So I bounced the entire apps tier.
Still same issue is persisting. Could you please suggest anything on this. Am I missing some thing.
Thanks again for your help!!

I have a question related to Oracle Advanced Pricing; Here is the Scenario.
Have customers who are in the retail space. Need the capability to APPLY DISCOUNTS at Sales Order Level;For example sales order so-ord-123 has 5 lines (l1, l2, l3, l4, l5) with an order total of $1000. Need to apply Order Level discount based on a) number of items ordered b) total quantity of items ordered c) total value of sales order; This discount should be re-calculated during shipping (based on actual items shipped and quantities shipped)
Is it possible to do the above using Oracle Advanced Pricing?
If a discount were to be applied, can the discount be made visible in Oracle Receivables? This is not mandatory but Sales Order Level Discounting is…..
Kindly respond at the earliest.
Thanks.
Salam Ahmed,
I need to know if i loose support from Oracle if I do some customization like putting all information in a single form for AP for e.g, and is it possible to do it without Oracle developer??
Look at the recently released tool for migrating Oracle FND/AOL objects . http://migrationlogik.com It serves and FNDLOAD gui and makes it very efficient.

Have you given any consideration at all with translating your current site into German? I know a several of translaters right here that might help you do it for no cost if you want to get in touch with me.
Whenever I initially commented I clicked on the Notify me whenever new comments are added checkbox and currently each and every time a comment is added I receive 4 emails with the exact same comment.
Hi,
Please change the background color to some cool and pleasant color.
The Red is irritating to the eyes.
I understood that it is red because it is oracle. But it still it is odd as the area is more.
