WHAT THE SIGNIFICANCE OF US FOLDER?
ANS: THIS IS LANGUAGE SPECIFIC FOLDER. WHEN WE ARE USING MULTIPLE LANGUAGES
FOR THE CLIENT, WE WILL USE THIS US FOLDER.BY DEFAULT AMERICAN LANGUAGE. US
FOLDER IS AVAILABLE ONLY FOR
FORMS AND REPORTS, BECAUSE BOTH ARE
GUI(GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE)'S.
IT IS NOTHING BUT LANGUAGE SPECIFICATION BY DEFAULT IT IS IN AMERICAN LANGUAGE. WE
CAN HAVE MULTIPLE LANGUAGES FOLDERS BASED ON INSTALLED LANGUAGES. FROM
BACKEND WE CAN GET IT FROM
FND_LANGUAGES -- COL --INSTALLED_FLAG I,B,D
I--INSTALLED,
B--BASE,
D--DISABLE
SELECT LANGUAGE_CODE,NLS_LANGUAGE FROM FND_LANGUAGES WHERE
INSTALLED_FLAG LIKE 'B'
WHERE DID U FIND THE APPLCATION SHORT NAME AND BASEPATH NAMES?
SELECT BASEPATH, APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME FROM FND_APPLICATION--- FROM THE
BACKEND.
FROM THE FROM END WE CAN GET IT NAVIGATION APPLICATION DEVELOPER.--->
APPLICATION-->REGISTER THE APPLICATION NAME WE WILL GET FROM FND_APPLICATION_TL
WHERE CAN U FIND THE RELEASE VERSION FROM BACKEND?
SELECT RELEASE_NAME FROM FND_PRODUCT_GROUPS;
WHAT ARE THE FOLDERS WE WILL FIND BELOW 11.5.0 FOLDER?
ANS: AVAILABLE FOLDERS ARE ADMIN, BIN, FORMS, REPORTS, LOG, OUT, SQL, XML, MDS..
CAN WE CREATE THE TABLES IN APPS SCHEMA?
ANS: NO
CAN WE HAVE CUSTOMS SCHEMA? WHEN IT REQUIRED?
ANS: YES, WE CAN HAVE CUSTOM SCHEMA, WHEN WE WANT TO CREATE A NEW TABLE WE
REQUIRED CUSTOM SCHEMA.

WHAT IS APPLICATION TOP? WHAT ARE THE TYPES AND PURPOSE?

A) WHEN WE CONNECT TO THE SERVER WE WILL FIND THE TOP CALLED APPLICATION TOP.
UNDER APPLICATION TOP WE HAVE
PRODUCT TOP.
CUSTOM TOP
PRODUCT TOP IS THE DEFAULT TOP BUILT BY THE MANUFACTURER. CUSTOM TOP IS
USED TO SELECT THE CLIENT FOR HIS BUSINESS PURPOSES. CUSTOMIZATIONS ARE
DONE WITH THE CUSTOM TOP.
WHAT IS US FOLDER IN THE CUSTOM TOP?
IT IS A LANGUAGE SPECIFIC FOLDER USED TO STORE THE G.U.I LIKE REPORTS AND FORMS.
WHAT IS APPS SCHEMA AND SCHEMA?
SCHEMA: SCHEMA IS THE LOCATION IN DATABASE CONTAINS DATABASE OBJECTS LIKE
VIEWS, TABLES, AND SYNONYMS.
APPS SCHEMA: IT IS USED TO CONNECT THE ALL SCHEMAS TO GET THE INFORMATION
FROM THE DATABASE.
IS IT POSSIBLE TO RUN THE INTERFACE WITHOUT USING ORACLE APPS?
YES IT IS VERY MUCH POSSIBLE TO RUN THE INTERFACE WITHOUT USING ORACLE
APPLICATION'S FRONT END, YOU CAN DO THAT FROM BACK END. BUT FOR THE SAME, ONE
NEEDS TO BE WELL AWARE OF MINIMUM PARAMETERS OF THE INTERFACE PROGRAM.
WHAT IS FORWARD DECLARATION IN PACKAGES?
PL/SQL ALLOWS FOR A SPECIAL SUBPROGRAM DECLARATION CALLED A
FORWARD DECLARATION. IT CONSISTS OF THE SUBPROGRAM
SPECIFICATION IN THE PACKAGE BODY TERMINATED BY A SEMICOLON.
YOU CAN USE FORWARD DECLARATIONS TO DO THE FOLLOWING:
? DEFINE SUBPROGRAMS IN LOGICAL OR ALPHABETICAL ORDER.
? DEFINE MUTUALLY RECURSIVE SUBPROGRAMS.(BOTH CALLING EACH
OTHER).
? GROUP SUBPROGRAMS IN A PACKAGE
EXAMPLE OF FORWARD DECLARATION:
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY FORWARD_PACK
IS
PROCEDURE CALC_RATING(. . .);
-- FORWARD DECLARATION
PROCEDURE AWARD_BONUS(. . .)
IS
-- SUBPROGRAMS DEFINED
BEGIN
-- IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER
CALC_RATING(. . .);

TRANSACTION
HOW CAN U LINK A ORG-ID WITH A RESPONSIBILITY IN REPORTS?
PROFILE OPTION MO_OPERATING_UNIT IS SETUP AT RESPONSIBILITY LEVEL
WHAT IS TUNING IN ORACLE APPS TECHNICAL
TUNING IN APPS TO RESOLVE THE PERFORMANCE ISSUES (MEANS OT REDUCE THE TIME
TAKEN BY A QUERY USING THE EXPLIN PLAN AND TK PROOF)
WHAT IS THE LOOKUP'S AND WHAT IS THE USE OF LOOKUP'S?
LOOKUPS ARE REFERRED IN MORE LOCATIONS.
INSTEAD OF STORING THE ORIGINAL VALUE,WE CAN STORE THE LOOKUP CODES.
THIS WILL REDUCE THE SPACE THAT IS OCCUPIED IN THE DATABASE.
THIS IS ONE REASON.
THE MAIN REASON IS, TAKE AN EXAMPLE... IN A TABLE XX_EMP THERE IS ONE COLUMN
GENDER. POSSIBLE VALUES ARE MALE M FEMALE F OTHER O
DEFINE THE ABOVE VALUES IN A LOOKUP.
IF U WANT TO CHANGE THE MALE TO FEMALE ..U GO AND UPDATE THE LOOKUPS
THEN AUTOMATICALLY ALL THE RECORDS REFERRING TO THAT LOOKUP WILL ALSO CHANGE
DYNAMICALLY...
THIS SAVES TIME AND COMPLEXITY.
ODER OF FIRING TRIGGERS IN FORM
THE ORDER OF FIRING TRIGGERS WILL BE AS FOLLOWS FORM -> BLOCK -> ITEM LEVEL..
IF THE SAME TRIGGER EXIST IN ALL THE LEVEL THEN ONLY IT WILL START FROM THE LOWEST
LEVEL TO HIGHEST LEVEL.
GIVE A BRIEF OVERVIEW ON ORDERMANAGEMENT.
ORDER MANAGEMENT DEALS WITH ORDER TO CASH
FIRST WE HAVE TO ENTER THE ORDER
ORDER RETURNS----SALES ORDER
WE HAVE TO ENTER THE ORDER IN HEADERS AND LINES INFORMATION
WHEN WE ENTER THE ORDER IT SHOWS ENTERED IN BOTH HEADERS
AND LINES
AFTER THAT WE HAVE TO BOOK THE ORDER
AFTER ENTERING IT SHOWS BOOKED IN HEADERS AND AWAITING SHIPPING IN LINES
IT SHOWS THE RELEASE STATUS --R MEANS READY FOR RELAESE
AFTER THAT WE HAVE TO DO PICK RELEASE
WHEN PICKED IT SHOWS BOOKED IN HEADERS AND PICKED IN LINES

IT SHOWS THE FLOW STATUS CODE CHANGES FROM R TO Y MEANS PICK CONFIRMED
IN THE BACK GROUND TWO CONCURRENT WILL RUN
1) PICK SLIP REPORT
2) SHIPPING EXCEPTIONS REPORT
AFTER THAT WE HAVE TO DO SHIPPING.
WHILE SHIPPING THE FLOW STATUS CODE WILL CHANGE FROM Y TO C
MEANS SHIP CONFIRMED
IN THE BACKGROUND IT RUNS 5 CONCURRENT PROGRAMS
AUTOMATICALLY
1)BILL OF LADING
2) COMMERCIAL INVOICE
3)PACKING SLIP REPORT
4)INTERFACE TRIP STOP
5)VEHICLE LOAD SHEET DETAILS
AFTER THAT WE HAVE TO RUN THE WORKFLOW BACKGROUND PROGRAM
AFTER THAT WE HAVE TO DO THE INVOICES
AFTER THAT WE HAVE TO DO THE RECEIPTS
AFTER THAT WE WILL TRANSFER IT IN TO GENERAL LEDGER
TRANSFORM PROGRAM
WHAT IS GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE AND IT'S SIGNIFICANCE?
CREATION OF GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLES
THE DATA IN A GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE IS PRIVATE, SUCH THAT
DATA INSERTED BY A SESSION CAN ONLY BE ACCESSED BY THAT
SESSION. THE SESSION-SPECIFIC ROWS IN A GLOBAL TEMPORARY
TABLE CAN BE PRESERVED FOR THE WHOLE SESSION, OR JUST FOR
THE CURRENT TRANSACTION. THE ON COMMIT DELETE ROWS CLAUSE
INDICATES THAT THE DATA SHOULD BE DELETED AT THE END OF THE
TRANSACTION.
CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE MY_TEMP_TABLE (
COLUMN1 NUMBER,
COLUMN2 NUMBER
) ON COMMIT DELETE ROWS;
IN CONTRAST, THE ON COMMIT PRESERVE ROWS CLAUSE INDICATES
THAT ROWS SHOULD BE PRESERVED UNTIL THE END OF THE SESSION.
CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE MY_TEMP_TABLE (
COLUMN1 NUMBER,
COLUMN2 NUMBER
) ON COMMIT PRESERVE ROWS;
MISCELLANEOUS FEATURES
* IF THE TRUNCATE STATEMENT IS ISSUED AGAINST A
TEMPORARY TABLE, ONLY THE SESSION SPECIFIC DATA IS TRUCATED.
THERE IS NO AFFECT ON THE DATA OF OTHER SESSIONS.
* DATA IN TEMPORARY TABLES IS AUTOMATICALLY DELETE AT
THE END OF THE DATABASE SESSION, EVEN IF IT ENDS ABNORMALLY.
* INDEXES CAN BE CREATED ON TEMPORARY TABLES. THE
CONTENT OF THE INDEX AND THE SCOPE OF THE INDEX IS THAT SAME
AS THE DATABASE SESSION.
* VIEWS CAN BE CREATED AGAINST TEMPORARY TABLES AND
COMBINATIONS OF TEMPORARY AND PERMANENT TABLES.

* TEMPORARY TABLES CAN HAVE TRIGGERS ASSOCIATED WITH THEM.

* EXPORT AND IMPORT UTILITIES CAN BE USED TO TRANSFER
THE TABLE DEFINITIONS, BUT NO DATA ROWS ARE PROCESSED.
* THERE ARE A NUMBER OF RESTRICTIONS RELATED TO
TEMPORARY TABLES BUT THESE ARE VERSION SPECIFIC.
HOW YOU WILL DIAPLAY THE COMPANY LOGO IN REPORT?
IN REPORT BUILDER DRAW A IMAGE FEILD. YOU CAN GET THIS IMAGE OPTION FROM TOOL
PALLATE. THEN CHANGE SOURCE FILE FORMAT AS IMAGE WHERE AS DEFAULT IS
TEXT IN THE PROPERTY PALLATE OF THAT IMAGE. THEN GIVE THE PROPER PATH WHERE
YOUE COMPANY LOGO IS BEEN KEPT AT THE SOURCE FILE FORMAT FEILD.
NOW RUN THE REPORT AND U CAN SEE THE COMPANY LOGO. IF YET IT.S NOT COMMING OR
SHOWING SOME ERROR THEN CHECK WAT FRAME THAT IMAGE BELONGS TO.
WHAT IS THE LINK BETWEEN AP AND GL IN ORACLE APPS R/12?

GL_SL_LINK_ID IN XLA_AE_LINES = GL_SL_LINK_ID IN GL_JE_LINES
I HAVE 3 PARAMETERS LIKE P1,P2,P3.IN P1 I HAVE 2 PARAMETERS LIKE A,B.IF PASS
PARAMETER 'A' P2 SHOULD BE ENABLE AND P3 SHOULD BE DISABLE THEN IF PASS
PARAMETER 'B' THE VICE VERSA.
YOU CAN CREATE TWO MORE DUMMY PARAMETERS(LIKE P2_DUMMY,P3_DUMMMY ) AND SET
DISPLAY PROPERTY TO NO.
NOW SET THE DEFAULT VALUE FOR P2_DUMMY AS "DECODE (P1,'A','Y',NULL) IN THE SAME WAY
FOR P3_DUMMMY.
NOW IN THE VALUESET FOR P2 USE WHERE $FLEX$.P2_DUMMY ='Y' AND SIMILARLY FOR P3.

THE PACKAGE ONLY
IS PLACEHOLDERCOLUMN FUNCTION OR PROCEDURE? WHY WE DON'T WRITE ANY CODE IN
THAT?
PLACE HOLDER COLUMN IS A LOCAL FUNCTION. BY DEFAULT IT RETURNS THE VALUE
ASSIGNED TO IT. FOR EG
:CP_TEST_PH := 'INDIA' WILL RETURN THE STRING 'INDIA'. YOU CAN WRITE CODE IN THE
PLACE HOLDER FORMULA BY JUST WRITING WHAT YOU WANT TO RETURN (RETURN 'INDIA'). IN
THAT CASE YOU DONT HAVE TO ASSIGN ANYTHING TO :CP_TEST_PH ANYWHERE. JUST
MAKE SURE WHILE CREATING YOUR PLACE HOLDER COLUMN, IT RETURNS CORRECT
DATATYPE OF ADEQUATE SIZE.

WHILE RUNNING A INTERFACE IF WE GET 100 RECORDS AS ERORS. HOW TO DEBUG IT.
WE ARE HAVING TO TWO TYPES THE ERROR RECORDS.....
1)REJECTED BY THE SQL LOADER.
THESE ARE STORED IN THE '.BAD' FILE......
2)REJECTED BY THE CONDITION WHICH HAVE BEEN MENTION IN THE
CONTROL FILE.
THESE ARE STORED IN THE '.DIS' FILE......
ATFER GETTING THE ERROR RECORDS IN THE SPECIFIED FILE THEN
WE WILL CORRECT THE ERRORS AND PROCEED THEM ONCE AGAIN.
HOW TO LINK MODULES IN APPS
BY CREATING SYNONYM WE CAN ESTBLISH LINK IN APPS
IN GL, AP, PO, AR WHICH MODULE DOESNOT HAVE _ALL TABLES THEN WHY?
ONLY SUB_LEDGER MODULES LIKE AP,AR,PO,OM ARE AT OPERATING UNIT LEVEL.EVERY TABLE
IN THIS MODULES HAVE THE TABLES ORG_ID COLUMN AND ENDS WITH _ALL.BASED UP ON
THE ORGANIZATION DATA WILL BE FILTERD BY USING ORG_ID COLUMN
OR

GL DOES NOT HAVE _ALL TABLES ONLY SUBLEGDERS AP,PO,AR HAVE THE _ALL TABLES.
SUBLEDGERS SECURE DATA OPERATING UNIT WISE WITH ORG_ID COLUMN THAT EXITS IN
_ALL TABLE. GL SECURE AND SPREATE DATA WITH SET_OF_BOOK_ID THAT EXIST IN
GL_SETS_OF_BOOKS TABLE.

WHAT IS THE USE OF USER EXIT IN ORACLE APPS AND WHEN WE ARE DEVELOPEING THE
NEW REPORT YOU NEED TO PASS ONE PARAMETER CALLED P_CONC_REQUEST_ID,WHAT IS
THE USE OF THIS PARAMETER AND IS IT MANDATORY.CAN'T WE DEVELOP REPORT WITHOUT
THIS USER EXIT'S AND P_CONC_REQUEST_ID PARAMETER?
USER EXIT PLAYS VERY IMPORTANT ROLE IN ORACLE APPS WITH OF HELP THIS WE CAN
CAPTURE VALUE AT RUNTIME WITH PROFILE OPTION. AND P_CONC_REQUEST_ID IS
MANDATORY IF WE USING USER EXIT OTHERWISE IT GIVES ERROR IN REPORT
P_CONC_REQUEST_ID NOT FOUND . IF WE NOT USING USER EXIT THEN ITS NOT MANDATORY.
FURTHER WE CAN DEVELOP REPORT WITHOUT USING USER EXIT AND P_CONC_REQUEST_ID.
WHY U MOVE IN OBJECTS TO THE CUS_TOP ONLY WHY NOT ANOTHER TOP
THE COMPONENTS THAT ARE MOVED TO THE CUSTOM TOP CANNOT BE
OVERRIDDEN DUE TO VERSION UPGRADATION. THAT IS THE REASON
WE MOVE THE CUSTOM COMPONETS TO CUSTOM TOP.
OR
ORACLE PATCH (VERSION UPGRADATION PATCH)WON'T TOUCH CUSTOM TOP
THAT IS THE ONLY REASON TO PUT ALL THE CUSTOM OBJECTS IN
CUSTOM TOP
IN REPORTS TOKEN IS CASESENSITIVE OR NOT?
YES
WHAT IS DIFFERENCE BETWEEN API AND INTERFACE?
AN API (APPLICATION PROGRAMMING INTERFACE) IS INBUILT PROGRAM THROUGH WHICH
DATAS CAN BE TRANSFERRED TO ORACLE BASE TABLES DIRECTLY WITHOUT WRITING THE
PROGRAM FOR VALIDATING OR INSERTING IN INTERFACE TABLES. BUT THROUGH
USER INTERFACE, WE HAVE TO WRITE CODES FOR VALIDATION AND INSERTION OF DATAS IN
INTERFACE TABLES AND THEN IN ORACLE BASE TABLES
I HAVE REPORT WHICH IS HAVING FIELD AT THE END OF PAGE, PROBLEM IS WHEN I RUN
REPORT DATA IS OVERFLOWING TO THE NEXT PAGE,,I WANT THE DATA TO COME ON SAME
PAGE CAN ANYBODY HELP ME OUT????
PUT PAGE PROTECT IS YES, THEN YOUR REPORT WILL BE FIT ON SAME PAGE
HOW TO SET ORG CONTEXT?
BY USING API FND_CLIENT_INFO.SET_ORG_CONTEXT('ORG_NAME')

MO_GLOBAL.SET_POLICY_CONTEXT('S OR M','ORGANIZATION_ID'),TO
PASS MULTIBLE RESPOSIBILITY AT A TIME IN R12
TELL ME SOME ERRORS NAMES AND NUMBER WHAT U GOT WHILE DEVELOPING THE
REPORTS?
WE HAVE 10 RECORDS. IT'S OCCURED ERROR IN 6TH RECORD HOW CAN U FIND AND HOW TO
RECTIFY THAT?
SELECT * FROM <TAB_NAME1> WHERE ROWNUM <=6
MINUS
SELECT* FROM <TAB_NAME1> WHERE ROWNUM<6;
WHAT IS FISCALCALENDAR?
FISCAL CALENDAR IS LEGAL IN SOME COUNTRIES AS FOR EXAMPLE IN INDIA THE YEAR START
FROM THE 1ST APRIL AND AND ON 31 MARCH SO THIS IS RELATED TO THAT TYPE OF
CONDITIONS.
CAN WE USE COMMIT IN TRIGGER? IF YES HOW?
GENERALLY WE CANNOT USE COMMIT IN TRIGGERS. BUT IT IS POSSIBLE TO USE COMMIT IN
TRIGGERS BY MENTIONING "PRAGMA AUTONOMOUS_TRANSACTION;" IN THE
DECLARATIVE SECTION OF THE TRIGGER.
WHAT ARE CENTRALIZED AND DECENTRALIZED LEVEL OF CONTROL OF ITEM ATTRIBUTES?
CENTRALIZED--MASTER LEVEL CONTROL.(EG.IF UOM IS SET TO EACH,THEN THE ITEM WHICH
ARE ALL CREATED IN THE ORGANIZATION HAS UOM IS EACH.)
DECENTRALIZED--CHILD LEVEL CONTROL.(EG.IF REVISION IS SET TO A FOR ONE
ORGANIZATION,THEN I COULD HAVE DIFFERENT REVISION FOR CHILD ORGANIZATION)
WHAT ARE THE DEFAULT TYPES WE HAVE?
ANS: CURRENT DATE : WILL BE USED TO PASS THE SYSDATE AS DEFAULT VALUE
CURRENT TIME : WILL BE USED TO PASS THE SYSTIME AS DEFAULT VALUE
CONSTANT : WILL BE USED TO PASS THE CONSTANT NUMBER OR DATE OR
STRING AS DEFAULT VALUE
SEGMENT
: WILL BE USED TO GET THE PREVIOUS PARAMETER VALUE AS
DEFAULT TO THE NEXT PARAMETER THEN WE WILL USE THIS.
DEFAULT TYPE: SEGMENT

DEFAULT VALUE :PARAMETERNAME

SQL STATEMENT: WE CAN PASS THE SELECT STATEMENT RESULT AS DEFAULT VALUE
DEFAULT TYPE : SQL STATEMENT DEFAULT VALUE : SELECT MIN(USERID) FROM
PROFILE : THIS WILL BE USED TO PASS THE USER PROFILE VALUE AS DEFAULT
LIKE USERID ,USERNAME,RESPID,RESPNAME AND SO ON.
HOW TO MAKE PARAMETER AS MANDATORY?
ANS : REQUIRED CHEKBOX : THIS WILL BE USED TO MAKE THE PARAMETER AS MANDATORY
OR OPTIONAL

ENABLED CHECKBOX: WILL BE USED TO ENABLE OR DISABLE THE PARAMETER

DISPLAY CHECKBOX: WILL BE USED TO HIDE OR DISPLAY THE PARAMETER.
WHAT IS VALUE SET? WHAT ARE THE TYPES OF VALUE SETS WE HAVE?
ANS : VALUE SET: VALUE SET IS NOTHING BUT LIST OF VALUES WITH VALIDATIONS WHICH WILL
BE USED TO RESTRICT THE USER WITHOUT ENTERING THE INVALID DATA IN THE
PARAMETERS
WE WILL USE VALUE SETS IN TWO LOCATIONS.
1)CONCURRENT PROGAM PARAMETERS
2)FLEXFIELDS
NONE:
---WE ARE NOT PROVIDING ANY LOV, WE CAN APPLY SOME FORMAT CONDITIONS AS PER THAT
CONDITIONS USER SHOULD ENTER THE DATA
NOTES: 1)ONCE WE CREATE THE VALUE SET WE CAN NOT DELETE IF WE WOULD LIKE TO
DELETE WE HAVE TO RELEASE THE VALUE SET FROM THE ALL THE CONCURRENT PROGRAM
PARAMETERS THEN ONLY WE CAN DELETE.
2)VALUE SET NAME IS CASE SENSITIVE
3)ONCE WE CREATE VALUE SET WE CAN USE FOR MULTIPLE PROGRAM PARAMETERS.
INDEPENDENT:
-----------WHEN WE WOULD LIKE TO PROVIDE LIST OF VALUES TO THE USER THEN WE WILL GO FOR
SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT VALUE SET.WHERE WE WILL PROVIDE LOV.
USER MUST SELECT THE VALUE FROM THE LIST OTHERWISE VALUES ARE NOT ACCEPTED.
NOTE:1)ONCE WE ENTER THE VALUES WE CAN NOT DELETE INSTEAD OF THAT WE CAN
DISABLE BY SELECTING THE ENABLED CHECK BOX OR EFFECTIVE DATES.
DEPENDENT VALUE SET:
====================
THIS IS ANOTHER LOV WHICH WILL BE USED TO DISPLAYS THE LIST OF VALUES WHICH ARE
DEPENDING ON THE PREVIOUS PARAMETER VALUE.
BEFORE GOING TO CREATE DEPENDENT FIRST WE HAVE TO CREATE INDEPENDENT
THEN WE HAVE TO CREATE DEPENDENT
FIRST PARAMETER WILL BE INDEPENDENT
SECOND PARAMETER WILL BE DEPENDENT.
NOTE:WITHOUT INDEPENDENT WE CAN NOT CREATE DEPENDENT VALUE SET.
NAVIGATION:
==========
1)OPEN THE VALUE SET FORM CREATE VALUE SET BY SELECTING THE VALIDATION TYPE
=INDEPENDENT
2)OPEN THE VALUES SCREEN ENTER THE VALUES .
3)OPEN THE VALUE SET FORM ENTER DEPENDENT VALUE SET BY SELECT VALIDATION
TYPE=DEPENDENT

SELECT THE BUTTON CALLED EDIT INFORMATION BUTTON ENTER THE INDEPENDENT VALUE
SET
4)OPEN THE VALUES FORM ENTER THE DEPENDENT VALUE SET=>FIND
ENTER THE VALUES BASED ON THE INDEPENDENT VALUES.
TABLE VALUE SET :
=================
TABLE VALUE SET WILL BE USED TO DISPLAYS THE LIST OF VALUES FROM THE
ORACLE APPS BASE TABLES.
WE HAVE TO GIVE THE TABLE NAME AND COLUMN NAME WHICH WILL AUTOMATICALLY
DISPLAYS THE VALUES.
NOTE: IF VALUES ARE NOT STORED IN THE DATABASE TABLE THEN WE HAVE TO
GO FOR INDEPENDENT VALUE SET.
IF VALUES ARE THERE IN THE TABLE THEN WE WILL CREATE TABLE VALUE
SET.
NOTE: IF WE ARE DISPLAYING ADDITIONAL COLUMNS WE ARE SUPPOSE TO GIVE THE ALIAS
NAME
TRANSLATED INDEPENDENT AND TRANSLATED DEPENDENT:
================================================
BOTH VALUE SETS WILL WORK LIKE INDEPENDENT AND DEPENDENT VALUE SETS
WILL BE USED TO DISPLAYS THE TRANSALATION VALUES WHICH WILL BE ENABLED
IF THERE IS MULTILANGUAGE IMPLEMENTATION.
SPECIAL AND PAIR:
=================
BOTH VALUE SETS WILL BE USED TO DISPLAYS THE FLEXFIELD DATA AS LOV TO
THE USER.
WHAT IS $FLEX$ AND $PROFILE$?
ANS: :$FLEX$: THIS WILL BE USED TO RETRIEVE THE PREVIOUS PARAMETER VALUE
WHATEVER WE HAVE SELECTED.
SYNTAX : :$FLEX$.PREVIOUS PARAMETER VALUE SET NAME.
:$PROFILES$: THIS WILL BE USED TO GET THE PROFILE VALUE IN THE TABLE VALUE SET OR
FROM THE FRONT END.
TO GET PROFILE VALUES FROM BACKEND WE ARE USING FND_PROFILE.VALUE OR
FND_PROFILE.GET()
SYNTAX : :$PROFILES$.PROFILE NAME
WHAT IS INCOMPATIBILITY?
ANS: INCOMPATIBILITY IS NOTHING BUT NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE CURRENT CONCURRENT
PROGRAM
CAN WE DELETE CONCURRENT PROGRAM?
ORACLE APPS ALLOWS CREATION OF CONCURRENT PROGRAMS BUT DOES NOT ALLOW

DELETION OF THE PROGRAMS. THE CONCURRENT PROGRAM FORM ONLY ALLOWS THE
PROGRAMS TO BE DISABLED.
TO DELETE THE PROGRAMS WE HAVE TO USE AN API, FND_PROGRAM.
FND_PROGRAM.DELETE_PROGRAM (PROGRAM_SHORT_NAME =>'XX_TEST',
APPLICATION
=>'XXCUST');
WHAT ARE THE WHO COLUMNS?
ANS: CREATED_BY,CREATION_DATE,LAST_UPDATE_DATE,LAST_UPDATED_BY,
LAST_UPDATE_LOGIN
HOW MANY TYPES OF EXECUTION METHODS WE HAVE? WHAT ARE THEY?
ANS: HOST
-- WHEN WE HAVE UNIX SCRIPT
IMMEDIATE
JAVA STORED PROCEDURE
MULTI LANGUAGE FUNCTION
ORACLE REPORTS
PL/SQL STORED PROCEDURE
REQUEST SET STAGE FUNCTION
SPAWNED -- EXECUTION FILE IS A C OR PRO*C PROG
SQL * LOADER

WHAT IS A CONCURRENT MANAGER ?
A CONCURRENT MANAGER IS A BACKGROUND PROCESS WHICH MANAGES THE
CONCURRENT REQUESTS IN ORACLE APPS 11I.
HOW MANY TYPE OF CONCURRENT MANAGERS THERE ARE IN ORACLE APPLICATIONS 11I ?

INTERNAL CONCURRENT MANAGER (ICM): A BACKGROUND PROCESS WHICH

MANAGES (START/ STOP) THE OTHER MANAGERS. THE ICM MUST RUN IN ORDER TO
START/ STOP THE OTHER MANAGERS, SO TO PROCESS CONCURRENT REQUESTS.

STANDARD MANAGER (SM): IS THE DEFAULT CONCURRENT MANAGER. IF A

REQUEST IS NOT DEFINED TO BE RUN BY A PARTICULAR CONCURRENT MANAGER
(INVENTORY MANAGER, RECEIVABLES TAX MANAGER, ETC) THE SM WILL TAKE CARE
OF THE CONCURRENT REQUEST.

CONFLICT RESOLUTION MANAGER (CRM): IS HANDLING ANY CONFLICTS THAT

MIGHT OCCUR WITHIN THE CONCURRENT REQUESTS (FOR INSTANCE, 2 CONCURRENT
REQUESTS DON'T HAVE TO RUN IN THE SAME TIME ON MONDAY BETWEEN 1-2 PM ).
THIS TASK COULD BE DONE BY ICM AS WELL.
STANDARD MANAGER THE STANDARD MANAGER FUNCTIONS TO RUN ANY REPORTS AND
BATCH JOBS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN DEFINED TO RUN IN ANY SPECIFIC PRODUCT MANAGER.
PRODUCT SPECIFIC CONCURRENT MANAGER THERE ARE MANY PRODUCT SPECIFIC
CONCURRENT MANAGERS. THE LIST INCLUDES INVENTORY, MRP, AND PROJECTS, AS WELL AS
ANYUSER-DEFINED MANAGERS. THESE MANAGERS ARE SPECIALIZED TO PERFORM
CONCURRENT PROCESSING SPECIFICALLY FOR THOSE PRODUCTS FOR WHICH THEY ARE
BUILT. UTILIZING THESE MANAGERS CAN HELP YOU OFF-LOAD SOME OF THE PROCESSING
FROM THE

SCHEDULER MANAGER SCHEDULER MANAGER, ASSISTS THE ICM AND THE CRM IN
SCHEDULING AND CONFLICT RESOLUTION.
TRANSACTION MANAGERS A TRANSACTION MANAGER IS OWNED BY AN APPLICATION AND
ASSOCIATED WITH A DATA GROUP. DUE TO THIS ASSOCIATION, AND THE FACT THAT IT RUNS
IMMEDIATE PROGRAMS, THE TRANSACTION MANAGER CAN ONLY RUN PROGRAMS
CONTAINED WITHIN ITS PROGRAM LIBRARY.
WHAT IS EXECUTABLE SHORT NAME?
WHAT IS MODULE?
IT IS A COLLECTION OF FORMS AND REPORTS WHICH ARE RELATED TO PARTICULAR
BUSINESS PROCESS.
WHAT IS SCHEMA?
SCHEMA IS A PLACE IN DATABASE WHICH CONTAINS THE DATABASE OBJECTS LIKE
TABLES, INDEXES, SEQUENCES, VIEWS AND SYNONYMS
APPS SCHEMA WILL NOT CONTAIN THE TABLES IT CONTAIN ONLY SYNONYM.
PROJECTS IN ORACLE APPS?
IMPLEMENTATION PROJECTS
CUSTOMIZATION PROJECTS
MIGRATION/UPGRADATION
SUPPORT/MAINTENACNE
POST IMPLEMENTATION PROJECTS
TYPES OF DOCUMENTS?
MD50-FUNCTIONAL
MD70-TECHNICAL
MD20- TECH DOC BY FUNC
MD120 MIGRATION AND TRAINING DOC BY TECH
CV40 CONVERSON OF FUN DOC BY FUNC
CV 60 CONV OF TECH DOC BY TECH
IN WHICH MODE WE UPLOAD/DOWNLOAD FORMS AND REPORTS?
WE WILL MOVE FORMS AND REPORTS FROM THE LOCAL M/C TO SERVER ALWAYS IN
BINARY MODE.
WHAT IS STAGE FUNCTION PARAMETER BUTTON IN EXECUTABLE?
THE STAGE FUNCTION PARAMETERS BUTTON OPENS A
WINDOW THAT ALLOWS YOU TO ENTER PARAMETERS FOR THE REQUEST SET STAGE
FUNCTION. THIS BUTTON IS ONLY ENABLED WHEN YOU SELECT REQUEST SET STAGE
FUNCTION AS YOUR EXECUTION
METHOD.
WHAT IS PRIORITY OPTION IN CP?
YOU CAN ASSIGN THIS PROGRAM IT OWN PRIORITY. THE CONCURRENT MANAGERS
PROCESS REQUESTS FOR THIS PROGRAM AT THE PRIORITY YOU ASSIGN HERE.
WHAT ARE THE OUTPUT FORMAT TYPES IN CP?
HTML,PCL,PDF,POST SCRIPT,TEXT,XML

WHAT IS PROFILE?
PROFILE IS ONE OF THE CHANGABLE OPTION IT WILL CHANGE THE WAY OF
APPLICATION EXECUTION.
SITE : THIS IS LOWEST LEVEL TO ASSIGN THE PROFILE VALUES SITE VALUES
ARE APPLICABLE FOR ALL THE USERS.WHEN WE INSTALL APPLICATION BY
DEFAULT SITE LEVEL VALUES WILL BE ASSIGNED.
APPLICATION: THESE VALUES ARE APPLICABLE FOR THE USERS WHO ARE HAVING
THE ACCESS FOR THE APPLICATION. IF USER IS ELIGIBLE FOR BOTH
APPLICATION AND SITE LEVEL VALUES THEN APPLICATION LEVEL VALUE
WILL OVERRIDE THE SITE LEVEL VALUE.
RESPONSIBILITY:WE WILL SELECT THE RESPONSIBILITY NAME ASSIGN THE VALUE
WHICH IS APPLICALBE ONLY FOR THE USERS WHO ARE HAVING THE ACCESS
FOR SPECIFIED RESPONSIBILITY.
RESPONSIBILITY LEVEL VALUE WILL OVERRIDE BOTH APPLICATION AND SITE
LEVEL VALUES.
USER: THIS IS HIGHEST LEVEL IN THE PROFILE OPTION.
WE WILL SELECT THE USER NAME AND ASSIGN THE PROFILE VALUE WHICH IS
APPLICABLE ONLY FOR THIS USER.
USER LEVEL VALUE WILL OVERRIDE ALL OTHER PROFILE LEVEL VALUES.
SOME OF THE IMP PROFILE NAMES:
GL:SET OF BOOKS
MO:OPERATING UNIT
HR:BUSINESS GROUPS
MFG_ORGANIZATION_ID
USER_ID
RESP_ID
USERNAME
RESP_NAME
1. FND_PROFILE.GET(NAME OF THE PROFILE, VARIABLE NAME);
2. VARIABLE NAME := FND_PROFILE.VALUE(NAME OF THE PROFILE);
3. FND_PROFILE.SET(NAME OF THE PROFILE, VALUE OF THE PROFILE);
THE 1ST AND 2ND ARE SAME BUT, THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS FND_PROFILE.GET IS THE
PROCEDURE AND FND_PROFILE.VALUE IS THE FUNCTION SO, IT RETURN A VALUE.
WHAT ARE THE APIS TO REGISTER CP?
FND_PROGRAM.EXECUTABLE(EXECUTABLE, APPLICATION, DESCRIPTION,

PL/SQL AND SUBMITTING THROUGH THE SQL WE NEED TO USE THIS API

FND_CLIENT_INFO.SET_ORG_CONTEXT: THIS IS THE API USED TO SET THE ORG_ID

VALUE FROM THE BACKEND, SO THAT SYSTEM WILL RETRIEVE THE DATA FROM
THE DATABASE WHICH IS RELATED TO MENTION THE ORGANIZATION.
FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST
FND_FILE.PUT_LINE: THIS API IS USED TO SEND MESSAGES TO OUTPUT FILE OR LOG
FILE WHILEWE ARE WORKING WITH PL/SQL STORED PROCEDURES

EXTENSIONS OF ALL FILES?

SQL * LOADER :
==================
IT IS ONE OF THE ORACLE TOOL WILL BE USED TO TRANSFER THE DATA FROM FLAT FILES
INTO ORACLE BASE TABLES.
WHEN WE ARE DEVELOPING THE INTERFACES OR CONVERSION PROGRAM IN ORACLE
APPLICATIONS THEN WE WILL BE USING THE SQL LOADER PROGRAMS.
WHILE WORKING WITH SQL * LOADER WE WILL COME ACROSS 5 FILES.
1)FLAT FILE OR DATA FILE:
DATA FILE CONTAINS THE DATA IN THE SPECIFIC FORMAT WHICH WE WILL RECEIVE FROM THE
CLIENT. THIS FILE WILL BE GENERATED BY THE LEGACY SYSTEM(OTHER SYSTEMS) PROGRAM.
IT MAY BE EITHER .TXT FORMAT
.DAT
.CSV(COMMA SEPARATED VIEW) EXCELL SHEET.
MOST OF THE TIMES WE WILL RECEIVE IN THE (.CSV) FORMAT
2)CONTROL FILE :
----------------IS NOTHING BUT A SQL*LOADER PROGRAM WILL BE USED TO LOAD THE DATA FROM FILE INTO
TABLE.
WE WILL DEVELOP THE CONTROL FILE
EXECUTE THE CONTROL FILE.
WHILE DEVELOPING THE CONTROL FILE WE WILL SPECIFY FOLLWOING THINGS.
1)DATA FILE PATH
2)DATABASE TABLE NAME
3)COLUMN MAPPING.
CONTROL FILE EXTENSION IS (.CTL)
3)BAD FILE:
----------WHEN WE EXECUTE THE CONTROL FILE IF ANY RECORDS ARE REJECTED BY SQL *LOADER
THEN WE
WILL FIND THOSE REJECTEDS RECORD IN THE BAD FILE.
SQL LOADER RECJECTS THE RECORDS IF THERE ARE ANY DATATYPE MISMATCH
INTERNAL ERRORS
DATA FILE FORMAT PROBLEM
BAD FILE EXTENSION IS (.BAD)
4)DISCARD FILE:
--------------WHEN WE EXECUTE THE CONTROL FILE IF ANY RECORDS ARE REJECTED BY CONTROL FILE
THEN WE
WILL FIND THOSE REJECTEDS RECORD IN THE DISCARD FILE.
CONTROL FILE RECJECTS THE RECORD WHEN THE RECORD IS NOT SATISFYING THE RECORD
WHICH
ARE NOT SATISFIED THE CONDITION SPECIFIED IN THE CONTROL FILE.
DISCARD FILE EXTENSION IS (.DIS)
5)LOG FILE :
------------IT CONTAINS THE LOG INFORMATION LIKE PROGRAM START TIME,END TIME

NO OF SUCCESFULLY RECORDS UPLOAD

REJECTED RECORDS INTO THE BAD FILE
REJECTED RECORDS INTO THE DISCARD FILE
ANY ERRORS ARE THERE IN THE CONTROL FILE THOSE ERROR MESSAGE DETAILS WE WILL
FIND.
LOG FILE EXTENSION IS (.LOG)
CONTROL FILE SYNTAX?
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'DATA FILE PATH'
INSERT INTO TABLE <TABLE NAME>
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY'"'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(COLUMN1 ,
COLUMN2 ,
COLUMN3 ,......)
EXECUTION OF CONTROL FILE ?
GOTO COMMAND PROMPT WHERE THE SQL LOADER IS INSTALLED.
D:ORACLE\PRODDB\8.1.7\BIN\ SQLLDR USERNAME/PASSWORD@PROD
CONTROL = CONTROL FILE PATH.
SKIP = N NUMBER OF LOGICAL RECORDS TO SKIP (DEFAULT 0)
LOAD = N NUMBER OF LOGICAL RECORDS TO LOAD (DEFAULT ALL)
ERRORS = N NUMBER OF ERRORS TO ALLOW (DEFAULT 50)
ROWS = N NUMBER OF ROWS IN CONVENTIONAL PATH BIND ARRAY OR BETWEEN DIRECT
PATH DATA SAVES (DEFAULT: CONVENTIONAL PATH 64, DIRECT PATH ALL)
BINDSIZE = N SIZE OF CONVENTIONAL PATH BIND ARRAY IN BYTES (SYSTEM-DEPENDENT
DEFAULT)
SILENT = {FEEDBACK | ERRORS | DISCARDS | ALL} SUPPRESS MESSAGES DURING RUN
(HEADER, FEEDBACK, ERRORS, DISCARDS, PARTITIONS, ALL)
DIRECT = {TRUE | FALSE} USE DIRECT PATH (DEFAULT FALSE)
PARALLEL = {TRUE | FALSE} PERFORM PARALLEL LOAD (DEFAULT FALSE)
LOADDATA STATEMENT IS REQUIRED AT THE BEGINNING OF THE CONTROL FILE.
INSERT IF THE TABLE YOU ARE LOADING IS EMPTY, INSERT CAN BE USED.
APPEND IF DATA ALREADY EXISTS IN THE TABLE, SQL*LOADER APPENDS THE NEW ROWS
TO IT. IF DATA DOESNT ALREADY EXIST, THE NEW ROWS ARE SIMPLY LOADED.
REPLACE ALL ROWS IN THE TABLE ARE DELETED AND THE NEW DATA IS LOADED
TRUNCATE SQL*LOADER USES THE SQL TRUNCATE COMMAND.
HOW TO ISSUE COMMIT INSIDE OF A CONTROL FILE?

ANS:

WE CANN'T ISSUE THE COMMIT INSIDE OF THE CONTROL FILE, INSTEAD OF THAT WE
WILL USE AUTO COMMIT BY USING 'ROWS COMMAND'.
IF WE SPECIFY ROWS=10 FOR EVERY 10 RECORDS COMMIT WILL BE EXECUTED.

WHAT ARE DIFFERENT MODES OR PATHS WE HAVE? WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
THEM?
CONVENTIONAL PATH: IT IS THE DEFAULT PATH WHICH WILL CREATE INSERT STATEMENTS AND
IT WILL INSERT DATA INTO TABLE METHOD IS VERY SLOW. HERE THE AUTO COMMIT WILL BE
CARRIED FOR EVERY 64 RECORDS.
DIRECT PATH: THIS WILL BE USED WHEN EVER THE VOLUME OF DATA IS HIGH. IT WILL MAKE
THE ENTIRE DATA INTO SET OF BLOCKS AND IT WILL CREATE ONE INSERT STATEMENT FOR
EACH BLOCK AND INSERT DATA INTO TABLES. THIS METHOD IS VERY FAST ALSO PARALLEL
LOADING WILL BE WORKING WHILE WORKING WITH DIRECT PATH. BY DEFAULT IT WILL BE
FALSE.
HOW TO INSERT DATA INTO MULTIPLE TABLES AT A TIME?
ANS: WE ARE CREATING THE TWO OR MORE TABLES. BASED ON THE POSITIONS WE HAVE
TO WRITE THE PROGRAM.
LOAD DATA
INFILE EG.DAT
APPEND
INTO TABLE EMP
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ,
( EMP_NUM, EMP_NAME )
INTO TABLE DEPT
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ,
(DEPARTMENT_NUM, DEPARTMENT_NAME)
LOAD DATA
INFILE EG.DAT
APPEND
INTO TABLE EMP
WHEN (01) = 1
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ,
( REC_SKIP FILLER POSITION(1),EMP_NUM , EMP_NAME )
INTO TABLE DEPT
WHEN (01) = 2
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ,
(REC_SKIP FILLER POSITION(1),DEPARTMENT_NUM,
DEPARTMENT_NAME )
HOW TO INSERT DATA INTO MULTIPLE FILES AT A TIME?
LOAD DATA
INFILE EG.DAT FILE 1
INFILE EG1.DAT FILE 2
APPEND
INTO TABLE EMP
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ,
( EMP_NUM, EMP_NAME, DEPARTMENT_NUM, DEPARTMENT_NAME )
LOAD A SINGLE FILE INTO MULTIPLE TABLES?

LOAD DATA
INFILE EG.DAT
APPEND
INTO TABLE EMP
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ,
( EMP_NUM, EMP_NAME )
INTO TABLE DEPT
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ,
(DEPARTMENT_NUM, DEPARTMENT_NAME)
HOW TO IGNORE A PARTICULAR COLUMN?
FILLER CLAUSE: THE FILLER CLAUSE IS USED TO SKIP ONE COLUMN DATA IN THE FLAT FILE.
HOW TO MENTION DISCARD FILE PATH IN CONTROL FILE?

WHERE DO WE KEEP CONTROL FILE?

CUSTOM_TOP/BIN
HOW TO PASS PARAMETERS TO CONTROL FILE?

WHAT ARE DIFFERENT LOADS WE HAVE?

SQL * LOADER SUPPORTS VARIOUS LOAD FORMATS, SELECTIVE LOADING, AND MULTITABLES LOADS.
1) CONVENTIONAL
--THE CONVENTIONAL PATH LOADER ESSENTIALLY LOADS THE DATA BY USING STANDARD
INSERT STATEMENT.
2) DIRECT
-- THE DIRECT PATH LOADER (DIRECT = TRUE) BY POSSESS OF LOGIC INVOLVED WITH
THAT, AND LOADS DIRECTLY IN TO THE ORACLE DATA FILES
WHAT IS TRAILING NULL COLLS?
TRAILING NULLCOLS COLUMNS THAT ARE NOT PRESENT IN THE RECORD TREATED AS NULL

PAYMENT METHOD.
O

CHECK. PAYMENT IN A PAYMENT BATCH, QUICK PAYMENT, OR MANUAL PAYMENT.

USUALLY A PAPER CHECK YOU GIVE TO YOUR SUPPLIER.

ELECTRONIC. YOU PAY ELECTRONIC PAYMENTS EITHER THROUGH THE EDI

GATEWAY, OR BY DELIVERING A PAYMENT BATCH FILE TO YOUR BANK. FOR
BOTH METHODS, PAYABLES CREATES A FILE DURING PAYMENT BATCH
CREATION. FOR EDI GATEWAY PAYMENTS, THE FILE IS PROCESSED THROUGH
THE EDI GATEWAY AND DELIVERED TO YOUR BANK TO CREATE PAYMENTS. FOR
ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFERS, THE FILE IS FORMATTED AND DELIVERED TO
YOUR AP.OUT DIRECTORY FOR YOU TO DELIVER TO YOUR BANK.

WIRE. A PAYMENT METHOD WHERE YOU PAY INVOICES OUTSIDE OF PAYABLES

BY NOTIFYING YOUR BANK THAT YOU WANT TO DEBIT YOUR ACCOUNT AND
CREDIT YOUR SUPPLIER'S ACCOUNT WITH APPROPRIATE FUNDS. YOU PROVIDE
YOUR BANK WITH YOUR SUPPLIER'S BANK INFORMATION, AND YOUR BANK
SENDS YOU CONFIRMATION OF YOUR TRANSACTION. YOUR SUPPLIER'S BANK
SENDS YOUR SUPPLIER CONFIRMATION OF THE PAYMENT. YOU THEN RECORD
THE TRANSACTION MANUALLY.

PAYMENT CLEARING. PAYMENT METHOD YOU USE TO ACCOUNT FOR

INTERCOMPANY EXPENSES WHEN YOU DO NOT ACTUALLY DISBURSE FUNDS
THROUGH BANKS. GENERALLY, YOU DO NOT GENERATE A PAYMENT DOCUMENT
WITH THE CLEARING PAYMENT METHOD.

WHEN YOU ENTER THE INVOICE, YOU ENTER CLEARING FOR THE PAYMENT
METHOD. YOU CAN RECORD A CLEARING PAYMENT USING A MANUAL TYPE
PAYMENT ONLY.
O

FUTURE DATED. YOU GENERATE AND SEND TO YOUR BANK A PAYMENT WHICH
INCLUDES A FUTURE DATE THAT INSTRUCTS YOUR BANK WHEN TO TRANSFER
FUNDS TO YOUR SUPPLIER'S BANK. A BILL OF EXCHANGE IS AN EXAMPLE OF A
PAYMENT DOCUMENT THAT USES THIS METHOD. YOU CAN ENTER THIS
PAYMENT METHOD ONLY IF YOU ENABLE THE ALLOW FUTURE PAYMENT
METHOD PAYABLES OPTION. WHEN YOU CREATE A PAYMENT BATCH, CREATE A
QUICK PAYMENT, OR RECORD A MANUAL PAYMENT, YOU SELECT A PAYMENT
DOCUMENT THAT USES A FUTURE DATED PAYMENT FORMAT.

MANUAL FUTURE DATED. THIS METHOD IS THE SAME AS THE FUTURE DATED
PAYMENT METHOD EXCEPT THAT YOUR SUPPLIER INCLUDES WITH AN INVOICE
A PAYMENT NOTICE. YOU APPROVE THE PAYMENT NOTICE, WHICH INCLUDES A
FUTURE PAYMENT DATE, AND FORWARD IT WITH THE PAYMENT TO YOUR
SUPPLIER. YOU CAN ENTER THIS PAYMENT METHOD IF YOU ENABLE THE ALLOW
FUTURE PAYMENT METHOD PAYABLES OPTION. SINCE YOU DO NOT GENERATE
A PAYMENT DOCUMENT, YOU USE A MANUAL PAYMENT WITH A MANUAL FUTURE
DATED PAYMENT DOCUMENT TO RECORD THE PAYMENT.

FORM PERSONALIZATION
WHAT IS FORMS PERSONALIZATION? WHERE IT IS USED? WHAT FOR?
FORMS PERSONALIZATION IS A STANDARD FEATURE PROVIDED BY ORACLE AND SUPPORTED
BY ORACLE TO CUSTOMIZE THE FORMS. WITH FORMS PERSONALIZATION YOU CAN HIDE
FIEDLS, MAKE FIELDS MANDATORY, CREATE ZOOM FUNCTIONALITY, CHANGE LOV
DYNAMICALLY E.T.C
WHAT ARE DIFFERENT TRIGGERS THAT CAN BE USED IN PERSONALIZATION?
WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE
WHEN-NEW-BLOCK-INSTANCE
WHEN-NEW-RECORD-INSTANCE
WHEN-NEW-ITEM-INSTANCE
WHEN-VALIDATE-RECORD
MENUS SPECIAL EVENTS
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HAVING PERSONALIZATION AT FUNCTION LEVEL
RATHER THAN FORM LEVEL?
A FORM CAN HAVE MULTIPLE FUNCTIONS. HAVING THE PERSONALIZATION AT FUNCTION LEVEL
LIMITS THE SCOPE OF THE PERSONALIZATION. FOR EXAMPLE IN INVENTORY FOR BOTH
MASTER ITEM FORM AND ORGANIZATION ITEM FORM USES SAME FORM NAMED INVIDITM
WHERE AS BOTH HAVE DIFFERENT FUCNTIONS LINKED TO THEM.

CAN YOU USE GLOBAL VARIABLES IN FORMS PERSONALIZATION? IF SO HOW?

YES.
CAN YOU HIDE A TEXT FIELD USING PERSONALIZATION? HOW?
YES. IN THE ACTIONS SET DISPLAYED PROPERTY TO FALSE.
HOW DO YOU MAKE A FIELD MANDATORY OR NOT MANDATORY USING FORMS
PERSONALIZATION?
CAN YOU TRANSFER THE DATA FROM ONE FORM TO ANOTHER FORM USING
PERSONALIZATION?
YES. USING GLOBAL VARIABLES.
HOW DO YOU MOVE PERSONALIZATION FROM ONE INSTANCE/DATABASE TO OTHER?
FORM PERSONLIZATIONS CAN BE MOVED EASILY THROUGH FNDLOAD FROM ONE INSTANCE
TO OTHER. REFER TO THE ARTICLE FNDLOAD FOR MORE DETAILS:
HTTP://WWW.ERPSCHOOLS.COM/APPS/ORACLE-APPLICATIONS/ARTICLES/GENERAL/FNDLOADTO-TRANSFER-THE-MENUS-CONCURRENT-PROGRAMS-PERSONALIZATION-FROM-ONEINSTANCE-TO-OTHER/INDEX.ASPX
WHAT IS PERSONALIZATION AND WHAT FEATURES CAN BE ACHIEVED THROUGH
PERSONALIZATION?
PERSONALIZATION GIVES US THE ABILITY TO CUSTOMIZE FORMS IN A VERY EASY MANNER.
THE BELOW CUSTOMIZATIONS ARE POSSIBLE THROUGH PERSONALIZATION: ZOOM FROM ONE
FORM TO ANOTHER PASS DATA FROM ONE FORM TO ANOTHER THROUGH GLOBAL VARIABLES
CHANGE LOV VALUES DYNAMICALLY ENABLE/DISABLE/HIDE FIELDS DYNAMICALLY DISPLAY
USER FRIENDLY MESSAGES WHEN REQUIRED LAUNCH URL DIRECTLY FROM ORACLE FORM
EXECUTE PL/SQL PROGRAMS THROUGH FORM_DDL PACKAGE CALL CUSTOM LIBRARIES
DYNAMICALLY
CAN YOU DEFAULT A VALUE IN A TEXT FILED THROUGH PERSONALIZATION? HOW?
HOW CAN YOU RESTRICT THE ACCESS (TO ORACLE APPS) TO A GROUP OF USERS USING
PERSONALIZATION?
AT WHAT LEVEL YOU CAN RESTRICT PERSONALIZATION CODE?
FORM LEVEL AND FUNCTION LEVEL
WHAT CAN BE IMPLEMENTED THROUGH FORMS PERSONALIZATION?
ZOOM FROM ONE FORM TO ANOTHER PASS DATA FROM ONE FORM TO ANOTHER THROUGH
GLOBAL VARIABLES CHANGE LOV VALUES DYNAMICALLY ENABLE/DISABLE/HIDE FIELDS
DYNAMICALLY DISPLAY USER FRIENDLY MESSAGES WHEN REQUIRED LAUNCH URL DIRECTLY
FROM ORACLE FORM EXECUTE PL/SQL PROGRAMS THROUGH FORM_DDL PACKAGE CALL
CUSTOM LIBRARIES DYNAMICALLY
HOW TO DO IMPLEMENT ZOOM FUNCTIONALITY USING PERSONALIZATION?

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES/DISADVANTAGES OF FORMS PERSONALIZATION WHEN

COMPARED TO CUSTOM.PLL?
PERSONALIZATIONS ARE STORED IN TABLES RATHER THAN FILES WILL NOT HAVE A BIGGER
IMPACT WHEN YOU UPGRADE OR APPLY PATCHES TO THE ENVIRONMENT CAN BE MOVED
EASILY THROUGH FNDLOAD FROM ONE INSTANCE TO OTHER CAN BE RESTRICTED AT
SITE/RESPONSIBILITY/USER LEVEL EASY TO DISABLE/ENABLE WITH CLICK OF A BUTTON.
PERSONALIZATION WILL STORE WHO COLUMNS WITH WHICH WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO TRACK
WHO CREATED/MODIFIED IT WHERE AS IN CUSTOM.PLL WE DONT HAVE THAT ABILITY.
DISADVANTAGES: NOT ALL CAN BE CUSTOMIZED USING PERSONALIZATION.
WHEN YOU DISPLAY A ERROR MESSAGE AT WHEN-VALIDATE TRIGGER WILL THE DATA WILL
BE SAVED INTO DATABASE?
NO. IF IT IS NORMAL MESSAGE OR WARNING DATA WILL BE SAVED BUT NOT FOR ERROR
MESSAGE.

UTL_FILE
WHERE WE USE UTL_FILE PACKAGE?
UTL_FILE PACKAGE :
==================
THIS IS ONE OF THE PL/SQL PACKAGE WHICH WILL BE USED TO TRANSFER THE DATA
FROM TABLE TO FILES... FROM FILES TO TABLES
BUT WHEN WE ARE WORKING FOR FILE TO TABLE WE WILL USE SQL *LOADER
TO TRANSFER FROM TABLE TO FILE WE HAVE NO ALTERNATIVE WE HAVE TO USE UTL_FILE.
WE WILL USE FOLLOWING THREE FUNCTIONS TO GENERATE THE FILE.
1)UTL_FILE.FOPEN = TO OPEN (OR) CREATE THE FILE
2)UTL_FILE.PUT_LINE = TO TRANSFER THE DATA INTO THE FILE.
3)UTL_FILE.FCLOSE = TO CLOSE THE FILE AFTER DATA TRANSFER.
OUTBOUND INTERFACE PROCESS:
=============================
1)DEVELOP THE PL/SQL PROGRAM (EITHER PROCEDURE OR PACKAGE)
2)WRITE THE CURSOR TO RETRIEVE THE DATA FROM DATABASE TABLES.
3)CREATE FILE OR OPEN THE FILE BY USING UTL_FILE.FOPEN().
4)OPEN THE CURSOR
5)IF ANY VALIDATIONS ARE THERE WRITE THE VALIDATIONS
6)TRANSFER THE DATA INTO FILE BY USING UTL_FILE.PUT_LINE().
7)CLOSE THE CURSOR.
8)CLOSE THE FILE BY USING UTL_FILE.FCLOSE();

9)REGISTER THE PROCEDURE OR PACKAGE AS CONCURRENT PROGRAM AND SUBMIT FROM

SRS WINDOW.

DESCRIPTION

LOCATION

DIRECTORY LOCATION OF FILE. THIS STRING IS A DIRECTORY OBJECT NAME

AND MUST BE SPECIFIED IN UPPER CASE. READ PRIVILEGES MUST BE
GRANTED ON THIS DIRECTORY OBJECT FOR THE UTL_FILE USER TO RUN
FOPEN.

FILENAME

FILE NAME, INCLUDING EXTENSION (FILE TYPE), WITHOUT DIRECTORY PATH. IF

A DIRECTORY PATH IS GIVEN AS A PART OF THE FILENAME, IT IS IGNORED BY
FOPEN. ON UNIX, THE FILENAME CANNOT END WITH /.

OPEN_MODE

SPECIFIES HOW THE FILE IS OPENED. MODES INCLUDE:

R -- READ TEXT
W -- WRITE TEXT
A -- APPEND TEXT
RB -- READ BYTE MODE
WB -- WRITE BYTE MODE
AB -- APPEND BYTE MODE

IF YOU TRY TO OPEN A FILE SPECIFYING 'A' OR 'AB' FOR OPEN_MODE BUT THE
FILE DOES NOT EXIST, THE FILE IS CREATED IN WRITE MODE.
MAX_LINESIZE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF CHARACTERS FOR EACH LINE, INCLUDING THE
NEWLINE CHARACTER, FOR THIS FILE (MINIMUM VALUE 1, MAXIMUM VALUE
32767). IF UNSPECIFIED, ORACLE SUPPLIES A DEFAULT VALUE OF 1024.

RETURN VALUES
FOPEN RETURNS A FILE HANDLE, WHICH MUST BE PASSED TO ALL SUBSEQUENT
PROCEDURES THAT OPERATE ON THAT FILE. THE SPECIFIC CONTENTS OF THE FILE HANDLE
ARE PRIVATE TO THE UTL_FILE PACKAGE, AND INDIVIDUAL COMPONENTS SHOULD NOT BE
REFERENCED OR CHANGED BY THE UTL_FILE USER.

USAGE NOTES

USING FSEEK, YOU CAN READ PREVIOUS LINES IN THE FILE WITHOUT FIRST CLOSING
AND REOPENING THE FILE. YOU MUST KNOW THE NUMBER OF BYTES BY WHICH YOU
WANT TO NAVIGATE.

IF RELATIVE_OFFSET, THE PROCEDURE SEEKS FORWARD. IF RELATIVE_OFFSET > 0,

OR BACKWARD, IF RELATIVE_OFFSET < 0, THE PROCEDURE SEEKS THROUGH THE FILE
BY THE NUMBER OF RELATIVE_OFFSET BYTES SPECIFIED.

IF THE BEGINNING OF THE FILE IS REACHED BEFORE THE NUMBER OF BYTES

SPECIFIED, THEN THE FILE POINTER IS PLACED AT THE BEGINNING OF THE FILE. IF THE
END OF THE FILE IS REACHED BEFORE THE NUMBER OF BYTES SPECIFIED, THEN AN
INVALID_OFFSET ERROR IS RAISED.

IF ABSOLUTE_OFFSET, THE PROCEDURE SEEKS TO AN ABSOLUTE LOCATION

SPECIFIED IN BYTES.

IF FILE IS OPENED FOR BYTE MODE OPERATIONS, THEN THE INVALID OPERATION
EXCEPTION IS RAISED.

GET_LINE PROCEDURE
THIS PROCEDURE READS TEXT FROM THE OPEN FILE IDENTIFIED BY THE FILE HANDLE AND
PLACES THE TEXT IN THE OUTPUT BUFFER PARAMETER. TEXT IS READ UP TO, BUT NOT
INCLUDING, THE LINE TERMINATOR, OR UP TO THE END OF THE FILE, OR UP TO THE END OF
THE LEN PARAMETER. IT CANNOT EXCEED THE MAX_LINESIZE SPECIFIED IN FOPEN.
