Q: Do ITC consultants typically use iSetup in their engagements?
A: We have begun to use it more with our R12 projects as the product has improved from 11i and has many more seeded Selection Set criteria
Q: How does the iSetup functionality compare to the OEM pack Application Management Suite setup migration functionality?
A: The Application Management Suite is more robust, but it does have additional costs associated with it
Q: Why is Customization Level E in your report? This is not the value you see in the application? How do I know what E means?
A: That particular example was for a Lookup, and lookups have a customization level which indicates its capability to be altered. S=System, E=Extensible, U=User.
Q: For profiles can you limit what you compare on? ie who updated vs just values of the profile
A: It displays the definition of the profile option as well as the current value level, level value, owner, last update date and profile option value
Q: You mentioned that you can create a document in the BR100 format. Is there any support the new OUM formats?
A: The document style provided by Oracle is named Setup Document Style and does provide output similar to the BR100 format. I do not know if they plan to change that output style to reflect any format changes to represent the new OUM formats.
Q: Is the Load is restriceted from 11i to R12 or it can be from 11i to 11i
A: You can use the automated features within iSetup with instances at the same release 11i and 11i, or 12 and 12; just not from 11i to 12
Q: This application is similar to FNDLOAD utility, do you agree with this? However this provide additional and form driven utility?
A: iSetup is essentially a web user interface to the FNDLOAD utility with instance connectivity to automate migrations
Q: What components of Lease Management are included in iSetup, have there been further improvements to the Lease Management offering with respect to iSetup
A: For Lease Management there are Accounting Setups (Stream Types, Stream Generation Templates, and Accounting Template Sets) and Product Setups (Template Qualities, Qualities, Product Templates, and Products)
Q: How do you create custom selection sets for modules not listed in the seeded selection sets.
A: The steps for doing this using the data objects available in the iSetup Interface Repository are described in the iSetup Users Manual for R12 beginning on page 5-8 and further on 7-4.
Q: How and what inforamtion doees DBC file contains?
A: The .dbc file contains various information required to establish connectivity including server host name, port, and JDBC parameters
Q: Can we use isetup for data migration also ?
A: iSetup extracts can be used for data migration or reporting
Q: Is there a complete list of what is FND loadable?
A: Information about FNDLOAD can be found at support.oracle.com in notes such as 735338.1
Q: Re: it's Free, What was the patch set level you need to maintain in order to be eligible for it to be free?
A: iSetup is always free with EBS and Oracle recommends that you be at the current AD patchset level
Q: When it covers a module does it include all steps for that module?
A: No, not all steps or data items for all modules are included, but several of the labor intensive ones are
Q: If the FND value set doesn't exist in the other instance , is it created automatically like in FND_LOAD?
A: As part of the migration of a Value Set, if it does not already exist in the target instance, it is created
Q: Can iSetup also compare custom packages? or only compare data, data sets?
A: Packages are not included in the standard iSetup Selection Set criteria at this time
Q: specifically to my question, I'm trying to migrate setups for the Treasury module, but that is not listed in the seeded selection sets.
A: If Treasury is not included in the current list, then it is not currently available
Q: Where do you start iSetup from?
A: iSetup is a responsibility that is granted to a user
Q: Do we need to place target dbc file into $FND_SECURE folder of source instance?
A: all .dbc files for all instances to which iSetup needs access, need to be placed in the $FND_SECURE directories of each instance
Q: How would you consider the usage complexity specific to end users.Is it complex or easy?
A: iSetup is considerably easier than FNDLOAD for users to use
Q: Can we use this application to do setup only for one Oracle application like GL and not for all our applications?
A: If you wanted to restrict its usage, you would have to modify the access to the seeded Selection Sets
Q: Anybody using this application now? in 11i or 12i? What applications?
A: Several ITC clients as well as those attending our presentations at Collaborate, OHUG and regional OAUG meetings are using iSetup
A: We have begun to use it more with our R12 projects as the product has improved from 11i and has many more seeded Selection Set criteria
