R12 - How to migrate AME setups using FNDLOAD

Oracle Approvals Management (AME) is a self-service Web application that enables users to define business rules governing the process for approving transactions in Oracle Applications .This enables development of custom rules to manage transaction approvals that is integrated with multiple Oracle EBS applications such as HR, PO, AP and UMX.

If you want to migrate the AME setup like rules,conditions,approval groups etc. from one instance to another instance, you can use some of them by mean of FNDLOAD utility. The process is similar to what we are regularly using for other AOL Objects.

FNDLOAD will have such ldt file through which you can use.

Here are the details steps for each setup's.

1. Condition:

The script that downloads AME conditions allows you to download all conditions for a given transaction type or only those associated with a particular attribute or group of attributes.

Download
FND_TOP apps/<apps password> 0 Y DOWNLOAD $PER_TOP/patch/115/import/amesconk.lct <ldt filename> AME_CONDITIONS CONDITION_KEY=<condition key> TRANSACTION_TYPE_ID=<trans typs id> APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME=<application short name>

Upload
FNDLOAD apps/<passwd>@destinationdb 0 Y UPLOAD $PER_TOP/patch/115/import/amesconk.lct <ldt filename>

Example:
FNDLOAD apps/<passwd>@sourcedb 0 Y DOWNLOAD $PER_TOP/patch/115/import/amesconk.lct amecondition.ldt AME_CONDITIONS APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME='PER' TRANSACTION_TYPE_ID='HRSSA' ATTRIBUTE_NAME='PROCESS_NAME' CONDITION_KEY='317772662:44552';
FNDLOAD apps/<passwd>@destinationdb 0 Y UPLOAD $PER_TOP/patch/115/import/amesconk.lct amecondition.ldt

2. Dynamic Approval group /Approve Groups:

An approver group can either be an ordered set of one or more approvers (persons and/or user accounts) or it can be a list, which is dynamically generated at rule evaluation time.

Download
FND_TOP apps/<apps password> 0 Y DOWNLOAD $PER_TOP/patch/115/import/amesappg.lct <ldt filename> AME_APPROVAL_GROUPS APPROVAL_GROUP_NAME=<name of approval group> TRANSACTION_TYPE_ID=<trans typs id> APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME=<application short name>

Upload
FNDLOAD apps/<passwd>@destinationdb 0 Y UPLOAD $PER_TOP/patch/115/import/amesappg.lct <ldt filename>

Example:
FNDLOAD apps/<passwd>@sourcedb 0 Y DOWNLOAD $PER_TOP/patch/115/import/amesappg.lct ameapprovalgroup.ldt AME_APPROVAL_GROUPS APPROVAL_GROUP_NAME='Dyn Apprv Hub Approval Group' TRANSACTION_TYPE_ID='HRSSA' APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME='PER'
FNDLOAD apps/<passwd>@destinationdb 0 Y UPLOAD $PER_TOP/patch/115/import/amesappg.lct ameapprovalgroup.ldt

3. Dynamic Approval group config:

Download
FNDLOAD apps/<passwd>@sourcedb 0 Y DOWNLOAD $PER_TOP/patch/115/import/amesaagc.lct ameapprovalgroupusage.ldt AME_APPROVAL_GROUP_CONFIG APPROVAL_GROUP_NAME='Dyn. Post HROPs Approval Group' TRANSACTION_TYPE_ID='HRSSA' APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME='PER'

Upload
FNDLOAD apps/<passwd>@destinationdb 0 Y UPLOAD $PER_TOP/patch/115/import/amesaagc.lct ameapprovalgroupusage.ldt

4. AME Rule:

An approval rule is a business rule that helps determine a transactions approval process. Rules are constructed from conditions and actions.

The AME rules can be downloaded for information about the rule (e.g. name, description, etc) along with associated conditions and rule type.

Download
$FND_TOP/bin/FNDLOAD apps/<apps password> 0 Y DOWNLOAD $PER_TOP/patch/115/import/amesrulk.lct <ldt filename> AME_RULES RULE_KEY=<Rule Key > TRANSACTION_TYPE_ID=<trans typs id> APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME=<application short name>

#You can find Rule Key in AME_RULES table
Upload
FNDLOAD apps/<passwd>@destinationdb 0 Y UPLOAD $PER_TOP/patch/115/import/amesrulk.lct amerule.ldt

Example:
FNDLOAD apps/<passwd>@sourcedb 0 Y DOWNLOAD $PER_TOP/patch/115/import/amesrulk.lct amerule.ldt AME_RULES RULE_KEY='317772662:54567' TRANSACTION_TYPE_ID='HRSSA' APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME='PER'
FNDLOAD apps/<passwd>@destinationdb 0 Y UPLOAD $PER_TOP/patch/115/import/amesrulk.lct amerule.ldt

5. AME Rule Action Type Usage:

Download
FNDLOAD apps/<apps pw> 0 Y DOWNLOAD amesactu.lct <download file name>.ldt AME_ACTION_USAGES APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME=<FND application short name> TRANSACTION_TYPE_ID=<AME transaction type short name> [RULE_KEY=<Rule Key>]

# Rule Key is found in AME_RULES table
Upload
FNDLOAD apps/apps 0 Y UPLOAD amesactu.lct usage<download file name>.ldt

Ex:
FNDLOAD apps/<passwd>@sourcedb 0 Y DOWNLOAD $PER_TOP/patch/115/import/amesactu.lct ameactionusage.ldt AME_ACTION_USAGES RULE_KEY='317772662:54567' TRANSACTION_TYPE_ID='HRSSA' APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME='PER'
FNDLOAD apps/<passwd>@destinationdb 0 Y UPLOAD $PER_TOP/patch/115/import/amesactu.lct ameactionusage.ldt

6. Transaction Types

An application that uses AME to govern its transactions’ approval processes is termed an integrating application. An integrating application may divide its transactions into several categories where each category requires a distinct set of approval rules. Each set of rules is called a transaction type. Different transaction types can use the same attribute name to represent values that are calculated in different ways or fetched from different places.

Download
FNDLOAD apps/<apps pwd> 0 Y DOWNLOAD amescvar.lct <download file name>.ldt AME_CALLING_APPS APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME=<FND application short name> TRANSACTION_TYPE_ID=<AME transaction type short name>

Upload
FNDLOAD apps/<apps pwd> 0 Y UPLOAD amescvar.lct <download file name>.ldt

Eg:
FNDLOAD apps/apps 0 Y DOWNLOAD amescvar.lct hubtrantype.ldt AME_CALLING_APPS APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME=SQLAP TRANSACTION_TYPE_ID=SBTRANSTYPE
FNDLOAD apps/apps 0 Y UPLOAD amescvar.lct hubtrantype.ldt

7. Attribute

Attributes are business variables with a single value for a particular transaction.
