Types of Projects
a. Implementation Project: Client will be using another software to
maintain the business solutions.
Now the client wants to have Oracle
Applications package to capture the data. That time we will start setups,
data conversions, gap analysis, functions document preparation from the
scratch. - first time

Oracle Apps

b. Customization Project: Client was already using Oracle Applications,

now the client would like to have few more modules to cover the
business, for that we will customize new modules and integrate with
existing modules.

(Customization and
Integration)

c. Migration or Up-gradation Project: Client was already using Oracle

Applications older version now client would like to move new version of
Oracle Applications that time we will migrate older version objects in to
new version.

Types of Modules

Module: Module is nothing but one application it contains forms, reports and
programs which are related for specific business functionality.
Example: PO Module This will be used to capture purchasing information like
suppliers, their contact details, supplying material, unit price and discounts and so
on.

NOTE:
Migration Document is two types
1) Installation Process: Installation Stages or three types development, testing,
production. If any of the form or report is developed, when it is moving from one
instance to another instance, to be moved all the components of that. Example
functions, procedure, packages etc. This process will be done by DBA.
2) Execution Process: In this the execution of the form or report with a screen
shoot to be specified along with the functionality
CR Document:
The document tell about the request made by the client, it could be very small change
like single filed to be added or deleted to the form or procedure to be deleted.

Custom_ TOP:
Custom top will be created by customer (client) for the custom development and
customizations. At least one custom top is required for every client. We can have
multiple custom tops also as per the requirements
NOTE:
1) We are not suppose to develop are customize the product tops like AP, AR, GL, PO
2) If oracle applies the patches (scripts) against the application the script will over right
both developments and customization whatever we have done. That is the reason
we will use custom top. Oracle will not touch the custom top and it will not provide
any type of support.
US Folder:
This folder is language specific by default American English language will be
implemented. If we want to have multiple languages we can implement in Oracle
Applications by specifying different folders. This folder is only applicable for
Forms and Reports because both are GUI objects.

PO Schema:
It contains only PO Objects like PO Tables Indexes, Sequences, and views and
materialized views and so on. It will connect to PO Schema we can access only
PO objects. We cant access other schema database objects.
NOTE

We are not suppose to create tables in apps schema, we will create the tables in
custom schema then we will provide grants to apps schema
While development of forms, reports, programs we will always connect to apps
schema in oracle applications.
AOL Application Object Library

After development / customization the objects to be registered with this. This has got the
two responsibilities.
1) System Administrator:
Which has got the functions like 1) users, 2)
Responsibilities 3) Reports development / customization 4) Procedure 5) Printer

Concurrent Programe

Is nothing but instances of execution file along with parameter and incompatible
programs
We can register 11 types of executable as Concurrent Programs
Advantages
o We can execute multi language programs as Concurrent Programe
o When we run Concurrent Programe we can utilize 100% local machine
hardware capacity.
o We can change the Concurrent Programe output based on employee
profile.
o We can submit only Request.
o We can schedule the Concurrent Programe as per client requirement.
Report Registration
1) Develop the report (.rdf) as per client requirement by using Reports 6i Builder
2) Move the report from the local machine in to the server
a. CUS_TOP\11.5.0\reports\US .rdf (or)
b. PO_TOP\11.5.0\reports\US .rdf
3) Select System Administrator
a. Create Executable
b. Executable name
c. Application Name
d. Execution Method
e. Report (.rdf) file name
4) Create Concurrent Programe and attach
a. Executable
b. Parameters
c. Incompatibilities
5) Create Request group and attach Concurrent Programe
6) Create Responsibility
a. Request Group Concurrent Programe
b. Data Group Collection of User IDs
c. Menu Collection of forms
7) Create user attach Responsibility to the user
8) User will select the responsibility and go to SRS (Standard Request Submission)
window submit the request
Executable => Concurrent Programme => Request Group => User=> SRS
Note: For Single Executable we can have different concurrent programs with different
parameters
To create simple report with below SQL statement
Select User_ID, User_name, Trunc(creation_date) from fnd _user

KARUNAKAR.ADEPU

CLASS - 6
Executable:
After moving .rdf in to the server, we will create executable by specifying
execution name , execution method and application name.
Concurrent Program:
After creation of executable we will create concurrent Programe by attaching
executable, if parameters are there we will attach parameter if incompatibility
programs are there we will add those programs , for single executable we create
multiple concurrent programs with different parameters.
Request Group:
After creation of concurrent program we must add the program to the request
group. Request Group is nothing but collection of Concurrent Programs and
Reports.
Responsibility:
It is level of authority where we will combine Data Group, Request Group and
Menu. Request Group is optional menu and data group is mandatory.
Data Group:
Data Group is nothing but collection of applications names and Oracle User
Names based on this Username data will be retrieved from database.
Menu:
Menu is nothing but collection of functions(forms) and submenus.
Create a simple report using below query
Select * from PO_VENDORS
Vendor_ID, Vendor_Name, Creation_Date
Navigation
Executable Window - Concurrent=>Programme=>Executable
Concurrent Programem Window - Concurrent=>Programme=>Define
Request Group Security=>Responsibility=>Request
Responsibility Security=>Responsibility=>Define
User Security=>User=>Define
SRS Window View Menu => Requests
To find out output file path and log file path we will write the below select
statement
Select logfile_name, outfile_name from fnd_concurrent_requests

If report is having the parameters then we have to register those parameters at

the time of creation Concurrent Programe.

Value Set: values set is nothing but list values. It will be used to validate values
while entering the parameters.

Token: Token is one the filed wile be used to map concurrent Programe
parameters with report builder bind variable. We will enter the find variable name
in the token field so that parameters will be passed to the find variable.

Required check box: By using this check box we cant make the parameters
mandatory or optional

Enabled Check Box: By using this we can enable or disable the parameter.

Display Check Box: By using this we can hide or display the parameters in SRS
window.

Range Option: While defining the from and to parameters if we wanted to accept
values in accession order menus from values is low and to value is high we will
select the options called low and high.

Default Types: If we are hiding the parameters user cant enter the values that
time we can pass default values by using default type and default value filed.

SRS Window Copy Button: This will be used to find out recent Concurrent
Program list with parameters in SRS Window.

When we are hiding the parameter in SRS windows user cant enter the values that time
we can pass values internally by using defaults types.
1) Constant: If we want to pass constant values as default then we will select
default type constant and we will specify the values in default value field.
2) Current Date: System Date
3) Current Time: System Time
4) Profile: By using the profile option we can pass user profile values as default
5) SQL Statement: When we want to pass select statement to rest as default
values that time we will select default types as SQL statement and write the
select statement in the default values filed. Select statement should not return
more then one value.
6) Segment: When we wanted to pass previous parameter values as default to the
next parameter then we will use segment, select default type as segment give
the parameter name in the default values field.

VALUE SETS - Application Validation Set

Value set is nothing but list of values with validation. It will restrict the user to enter valid
values. These are 8 types.
1) NONE : When we write maintain some format conditioning NO LOV
Emp NO:
=> Only nos. 0 9
=> 35 to 7856
=> 45 to 0045
2) INDEPENDENT: Yes LOV user must select values from the list
3) DEPENDENT: Yes LOV The value which will depend upon the previous
parameter
Country Code:

i.e. based on the selection of country code lov city code lov will change
4) TABLE: Combination functionality of Independent and Dependent to provide
database table name and column name.
5) TRANSLATED: Independent Multi language values
6) TRANSLATED DEPENDENT: Dependent Multi language values
7) Special : To Display Flexi field data
8) -Pair: To Display Flexi field data.
CLASS - 9
1) NONE a. When we want to restrict the user to enter the values based on some
conditions then we will use NONE type. Here no list of values user
manually will enter the value based on the conditions values will be
accepted.
b. Enter the values set name select format type enter the minimum size
select validation type as NONE.
c. Once the value set is created we can use it for any concurrent program
either single time or multiple times.
d. Once the value set is created we cant delete if value set is being used
by concurrent program if we want to delete release from the concurrent
program then we can delete by using delete option.

2) INDEPENDENT
a. Provide the values to the user either number or character creates the
independent value set to enter the values for the value set ApplicationValidation-Values
b. If we want to provide list values to the user we will go for selecting
independent values set type user must select the values from the list.

c. Open the value set for an enter value set name select format type and
select validation type as Independent.
d. Copy the value set name go to values screen enter the values set name
and click Find enter the values in the values field save the transactions
attach value set to concurrent program.
e. Once the values are inserted in to the list we cant delete instead of
deletion we can disable by using enable check box or effective date from
and to.
3) DEPENDENT
a. Dependent value set is nothing but another LOV but values will be
changing based on the previous Independent value set.
b. When we are creating dependent we must have 2 parameters
1)Independent 2) Dependent
c. Open the value set form create Independent value set go to values from
enter the values.
d. Open the values set form create dependent value set by selecting
validation type as dependent.

Standards to develop a report in Oracle Applications 3 STANDARD STEPS.

1) Define the mandatory parameter called P_CONC_REQUEST_ID This is one of
the bind variable when ever we submit a request in SRS window that request ID
will be passed to this bind variable, based on this request id we can execute
concurrent request process. Without this find variable we cant use userexits.
2) Call the userexit in Before Report Trigger
SRW.USEREXIT(FND SRWINIT)
3) Call the userexit in after report trigger
SRW.USEREXIT(FND SRWEXIT)

Registration Steps

Develop the procedure and compile, specification of the procedure will be stored
in the Database.
Select System Administrator Responsibility - Crate executable with execution
method as PL/SQL Stored Procedure
Create concurrent Programe and attach Executable, Parameters, and
Incompatibilities.
Create the Request Group and the Concurrent Programe
Attach the Request Group to the Responsibility
Attach Responsibility to the User
User submit Request from SRS window

Simple Example
Create or Replace Procedure EX20( Errorbuf out Varchar2,
Retcode out Varchar2) as

End EX20
Procedure with parameters
Develop a Procedure which will take two parameters
1. Vendor ID
2. New Vendor Name
System should find weather vendor ID is exist or not if it exists it should update the
Vendor Name.
Create or Replace Procedure VEN_UPDATE20(

While registering the procedure, if we have user defined parameter we are

suppose to define those parameter at the time of registering concurrent program,
select parameter button enter sequence number parameter name attach value
sets if required attach default types.
Token filed will be disabled for procedures, it is enabled for only reports because
report builder find variable may or may not be in the sequence order but
procedures variable or permits will be always in the same sequence. First
parameter values will be passed to the first variable second parameter values will
be second variable and so on

database tables.
1. Flat file or Data file: It contains the data in specific format it will be either text file
(.txt) or excel sheet. (.txt, .dat, .csv Comma Separated Value)
2. Control File: It contains SQL * Loader program contains data file path, database
table name and column mapping and so on, once we develop the control file we
will execute this, that time data will be transfer from file to Oracle Database Table,
during this data transfer, the following files will be created. The extension of the
control files is .ctl.
3. Badfile: It contains the rejected records which are rejected by SQL*Loader,
because of bad format or data type mismatch and so on. The extension of the
bad file .bad.
4. Discard file: It contains the rejected records which are rejected by control file if
we have specified any condition in the control file if record is not satisfying the
condition the complete record will be inserted in the discard file. The extension of
file is .dis.
5. Log file: It contains information about control file execution like, execution start
time and end time, successful records count, bad records count, if there are any
errors in the control file, those error messages will be available in segments, the
extension of file .log.
The Syntax of the control file is as follows:

If data in excel sheet we can save that file as .csv file.
If any string contains commas we will enclosed this will in double quotation in the control
file we will specify the following statement syntax
Fields Terminated by , optionally enclosed by
If one of the field is missing for the database column we can generate sequences and
also we can use the some functions like to_char, NVL, Decode, Instr, Rtrim, Trim and so
on
Training Nullcols Inserts NULL columns if no data is there, we can not use any DDL,
DML or TCL command in control file.

PROFILES
Profile is one the changeable option it will change the way of application execution,
when we create user in oracle applications we will design the profile values for ever user
by selecting any of this level.
Profile levels
User Responsibility Application Site
1. Site Level: Site is the lowest profile level when we install Oracle Applications by
default values will be assigned at this level; site level values will be applicable for
all the users.

2. Application Level: If we want to assign profile value to the specific application

users then we will select this level specify the application name and assign the
value, application level profile value will over write site level values.
3. Responsibility Level: We will select the responsibility name assign the profile
value, this is applicable only for the users, who are having access to the specified
responsibility. Responsibility will overwrite the both application and site level
values. Most of the profile will setup at responsibility level because it will be
creating responsibility for ever position in the organization we will also assign the
profile values based on position.
4. User Level: We will select the user name and assign the profile value this is only
for specific user which we have specified at will over write responsibility,
application and site level values.

Application: It is collection of forms, reports and programs which are related for specific
business functionality
Responsibility: It is also collection of forms, reports and programs which are related for
specific position in the organization.

Multi Org
Multi Org is nothing but implementing multiple organization under single oracle APPS
implementation. We will define the multi org levels like follows:
Business Group

Top level org where employee will be define

Set of Books

Currency, Calendar, Chart of accounts Financial Entities

Legal Entity

Where

company

is

going

to

create

Income Tax

Documents to Government
Operating Unit

Where Company will procure, sell, pay, receive, stock

Inventory Organization

Where company will store the product

Under the Inventory it will come

Sub inventories
Stock Locations
Items

Business Group: It represents the highest level in the organization structure, it can be
a major division or operating company or consolidated enterprises, Business Group
secure human recourses information. Example: When we request list of employees
assigned to the business group where organization is a part
Set Of Books: It is a financial reporting entity it uses particular functional currency, chart
of accounts and accounting calendar, Oracle General Ledger application secures this
transaction information like, journal entries, balances, we will use the Set of Books to
capture these financial information.
Legal Entity: it is a legal company for which we prepare physical or tax reports and we
will submit company flanking sheet to Government.
Operating Unit: It is an organization where company is going to do the main business
operations like sales, purchasing payments, receiving and son, it may be a sales office
or division or department, operating unit information will be secured by following
applications like PO, AP, AR, OM, CM
Inventory Organization: It is an organization for which we will track Inventory
transactions and balances, Inventory Organization means warehouse, distribution
center, manufacturing plants and sales offices, the following application secures
information by Inventory organization
-

Oracle Inventory

KARUNAKAR.ADEPU

52

Bills of Material
Work in process
Engineering
Capacity
MRP and so on

Again we will define Inventory Organization as 2 levels

1) sub Inventory
2) Stock location inside of this location we will keep the items.
Advantages or Major functions

Data Secure: We can assign users to the particular organization when

ever user logon to the application then we can get the data access, which
is related to their organization

Multiple Organizations Reporting: We can setup Oracle applications

implementation to allow the reporting across operating units we can allow
the reports either at SOB level or legal entities level or operating unit level

We can sell the products from one legal entity and ship the products from
another level entity that time we can easily create financial transactions.

We can receive the good from the suppliers in any Inventory organization.
Example: A branch employee will create the PO then we can receive the
material in B branch Inventory organization but these two organization
should be defined under same set of books.

When employee creates internal requisitions in one organization these we

can ship the materials from another organization with current inter
company inventory.

Multi Org table contains multiples organization data. This table names are end
with _all and this table contains common column called org_id
Whenever user login to the systems by using MO:OPERATING UNIT profile,
systems will understand user operating unit code (ORG_ID)
Multi Org views These are created based on, multi org table having the where
clause like where org_id=client_info. If we are using multi org views in the
RICE components, we will get the data from the database which is related for the
user organization.
Ex: PO_HEADERS, PO_LINES, AP_INVOICES,
AP_CHECKS, OE_ORDER_HEADERS
CLIENT_INFO: It is one of the RDBMS variable, it contains user operating unit
code (org_id) whenever user login to the application
o Select * from hr_operating_units (you can get all the branch codes)
To create Operating units navigation
o HRMS Responsibility Work Structures - Organization Description
In before report trigger we will write SRW.USER_EXIT(FND SRWINIT) it will
initialize the user profile values (MO:OPERATING UNIT)

Create 3 users, assign to them different branches by using MO:Operating Unit profile
and develop the report, use the multi org tables and register it as concurrent program
and submit from SRS window form 3 users we will get all the operating units data in the
output instead of multi table, use multi org view. Submit request from SRS. It will
display the output which is related for user organization. If we are not using the user exit
(FND SRWINIT) system will not initialize user profile values including MO operating Unit
profile that time, client_info variable values is null.
In SQL & PL/SQL We need to use API
SQL> select count(*) from PO_HEADERS_ALL
2777 POs are created form multiple organizations
SQL> select count(*) from PO_HEADERS output 0 becoz system doesnot know the
branch working for which branch

KARUNAKAR.ADEPU

SQL> Begin

Begin
FND_CLIENT_INFO.SET_ORG_CONTEXT(FND_PROFILE.VALUE(ORG_ID)

ORG_ID: It is at operating unit level it we will find this common column in all the
table at operating unit level like
o PO_REQUESITION_HEADERS_ALL
o PO_HEADERS_ALL
o PO_DISTRIBUTION_ALL
NOTE: But PO receipts functionality will come at Inventory organization level.
Because we are crating receipt means we are receiving the goods from supplier.
We will be receiving the material at Inventories (stories, gowdans ) only.
Example: RCV_SHIPMENT_HEADERS table is not having the _ALL it is not

Flex Fields
Flex Field is nothing but a normal field but it is a flexible in the application either to
extend the form functionality or to capture the key information
We have 2 types of flex fields in oracle applications
1. Descriptive Flex Fields , 2. Key Flex Fields
1. Descriptive Flex Fields: DFF will be used to capture extra information from the
end user without changing form code and without altering database table
a. We will use the attribute column while working with DFF
b. We will find all the DFF in Application Developer Responsibility
i. N Flex Filed Descriptive Register
c. To find DFF in form PO Requisition Form
d. Customization of DFF
i. Open the form in application (PO, AP) we will find the fields
which are enclosed with [ ] it is nothing but a DFF we can enable
this DFF by using Application Developer Responsibility
ii. Find the DFF title from following navigation
1. Help Menu Diagnostics Examine and enter password
as apps and Block name $Descriptive Flex field$ we will
find the list of DFFs in the fields select Field:
PO_REQ_HDR_DESCRIPTIVE_F4 we will find the DFF in
the value fields Value: Requisition Header (Oracle
Purchasing)
iii. Copy the value go to Application Developer
1. N Flex field Descriptive Segments and enter and
press F11 enter the title Ctrl + F11
iv. Un check the checkbox called Freeze Flex field definition select
segments button enter the column names select attribute column
and value set and save the transactions.
v. Check the check box called Freeze Flex Field Definition click on
compile button internally system will submit concurrent program
(Flex field view Generation) to compile flex field it will generate
one flex field view to capture the data.
vi. The view name will be database table name _DFV
vii. Go to the form where DFF is attached, place the cursor, it will
open DFF form enter the data save it go to backend query the
records.
Select Attribute3
Buyertype,
Attribute9
Buyerlocaton,
Attribute13
Last Date
From PO_REQUISITION_HEADER_ALL
Where segment1=15467
viii. Create the value set in system administrator; attach the value set
at the time of creating DFF column name in the value set field.
ix. We can make the DFF column is optional or mandatory by
selecting required check box in the segments form.

CLASS 29
x. Context Field: While creation of DFF we can define multiple
structures based on the user selection we can change the DFF
structure. While defining the context field we will enter context
field values for every context value there will be a structure here
we can use the entire attribute column from attribute 1 to 15.
1. NOTE: One we use the attributes in one structure we can
use the same attributes in another structure, because user
can enter only one structure details at a time.
2. NOTE: Once we enter the value in the context field it will
be stored in the Database column called Attribute Category
Inventory
Sub Inventory
Item Location
Stock Location
Available Qty
Item Details

Item Quantity
Reserved Qty
Purchasable Item
Item Attributes
Inventory Item
Customer Item
Production Item

xi. Global Data Elements: While defining the context field we will
enter the context field values based on the value we can change
the DFF structure if we want to define any field globally we will
select option called Global Data elements, select se4gments enter
the details.
1. Once we use the attribute column in Global Data elements
it will not be available for the context field values.

2. Key Flex Field : These will be used capture key information which is in the code
language for every code there will be a specific meaning in the application we will
find all the KFF s in the Application Developer Responsibility. Navigation Flex
field Key Register and enter we can find the structure in the segments form

Accounting Key Flex Field:

This is one of the built in KFF available in GL application to capture accounting
transactions.
Accounting KFF is nothing but Chart of accounts in the set of books when ever
we assign the profile (GL: Set of Books Name) to the user based on the this
profile system will assign Accounting KFF to the User.

Structure Column
While defining the KFF we will find structure column field if it is null value then
KFF has got only one structure, if there is a structure column that will find
multiple structure, open the segments form query the records based on KFF title,
we will find structure details
For Accounting KFF structure column is CHART_OF_ACCOUNTS_ID
And we will get all the structure details from this table
GL_CHARTS_OF_ACCOUNTS.
All the accounting KFF transaction will be stored in the data based table called
GL_CODE_COMBINATIONS
Developing the Reports on KFF - Process
1) Call the user ext from before report trigger
SRW.USER_EXIT ( 'FND SRWINIT');
2) Call another User Exit from After Report Trigger
SRW.USER_EXIT ('FND SRWEXIT');
3) Define the following parameters
1) P_CONC_REQUEST_ID
2) P_FLEXDATA
3) P_STRUCT_NUM segment1||'\n'||segment2||'\n'||segment3||'\n'||.......||'\n'||segment30

5) Define the Query like follows

SELECT
&P_FLEXDATA
FROM
KFF Table
WHERE KFF Structure Column = :P_STRUCT_NUM;
6) Define Formula Column and CALL another User Exit from formula column
SRW.USER_EXIT ('FND FLEXIDVAL

CLASS 31
Flex Fields Reports development
P_FLEXDATA: It is one of the lexical parameter having the default value it is a
contribution of all the segment columns, we will use this lexical parameter in the select
statement to retrieve the data from database
P_STRUCT_NUM: This is a bind variable will be used to capture KFF structure number
FND FLEX SQL: It is one of the User Exit we will define in the before report trigger to
retrieve KFF segments data
FND FLEXIDVAL: This is another user exit will called from formula column to display
the KFF data in the output
1) Call the user ext from before report trigger
SRW.USER_EXIT ( 'FND SRWINIT');
2) Call another User Exit from After Report Trigger
SRW.USER_EXIT ('FND SRWEXIT');

will refer to get the latest values for variable and source column
Changing the structure number dynamically:
KFF structure number is nothing but chat of accounts ID, if we know the user set
of books name we can find out chart of Accounts ID.
Set of books name is one of the user profile by using FND profile API we can get
from report triggers
Go to before report trigger declare the local variable write the following API
o L_name varchar2 (100)
o L_name:=fnd_profile.value(GL_SET_OFBKS_NAME);
Write the following select statement to get the structure number based on the set
of books name

Form 6i feature

Call_Form, New_form, Open_form

APPS

FND_FUNCTION.EXECUTE( )

OPEN_FORM built-in
Opens the indicated form.
Use OPEN_FORM to create multiple-form
applications, that is, applications that open more than one form at the same time.
NEW_FORM built-in
Exits the current form and enters the indicated form. The calling form is
terminated as the parent form. If the calling form had been called by a higher
form, Form Builder keeps the higher call active and treats it as a call to the new
form. Form Builder releases memory (such as database cursors) that the
terminated form was using.
Form Builder runs the new form with the same Runform options as the parent
form. If the parent form was a called form, Form Builder runs the new form with
the same options as the parent form.
CALL_FORM built-in
Runs an indicated form while keeping the parent form active. Form Builder runs
the called form with the same Runform preferences as the parent form. When
the called form is exited Form Builder processing resumes in the calling form at
the point from which you initiated the call to CALL_FORM.

Forms Customization
Two Ways
1) Download .fmb from au_top\11.5.0\Forms\resource\US
2) Custom.pll
a. When_new_form_instance
b. When-new-block-instance
c. When-new-record-instance
d. When-new-item-instance
e. When-Validate-record
f. Special
g. Zoom
If we want to customize standard oracle forms will going to use custom.pll by using this
we can customize few events in the form. This custom.pll is available in the au_top
resource folder
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)

Hiding the fields

Chane the promplt
Change visual attributes
Make field is mandatory
Attaching the menu options.

Before going to customization the form should know following details

Form Name
:
Block Name
:
Field Name
:
What Customization :
When we would like to do
Data capture
Form Name
: Help About Oracle Applications
Block Name
: Help Diagnostics examine
Minimum
: Amount
Hide the filed
When form is opened (When-new-form-instance)
Forms Customization Steps:
1) Download the CUSTOM.pll from AU_TOP\11.5.0\Resource folder.
2) Open with Forms 6i.
3) Write the Following Code in the place of 'Real Code Starts Here'
form_name
block_name

varchar2(30) := name_in('system.current_form');
varchar2(30) := name_in('system.cursor_block');

KARUNAKAR.ADEPU

'PO Number');
APP_ITEM_PROPERTY2.SET_PROPERTY(
'REGIONS.REGION_LONG_NAME',
CASE_RESTRICTION,
UPPERCASE);
end if;
end if; (attach the Library called APPCORE2.pll)
4) Compile the Library we can get .pll (Program link Library)
Execute the Library we will get .plx (Program Link Executable)
(File ->Administration->Compile File)
5) Transfer both .pll and .plx files into the Resource folder in the AU top.
(Note: before going to copy into the server close the complete Application)
CLASS 39
Zoom Trigger
Zoom event will be used to call the another forms from Oracle standard forms, by default
zoom will be disabled for the form, first we have to enable, the \we will go for execution.

Open the Custom.pll got the function call zoom available and creat the following
code in the place of Real Code Starts here
form_name varchar2(30) := name_in('system.current_form');
block_name varchar2(30) := name_in('system.cursor_block');
begin
if (form_name = 'POXRQERQ' and block_name = 'PO_REQ_HDR') then
return TRUE;
else
return FALSE;
end if;

Go to the event procedure and write the following code in the place of Real
Code Starts Here
form_name
varchar2(30) := name_in('system.current_form');

KARUNAKAR.ADEPU

74

block_name varchar2(30) := name_in('system.cursor_block');

Begin
if (event_name = 'ZOOM') then
if (form_name = 'POXRQERQ' and block_name = 'PO_REQ_HDR') then
fnd_function.execute(function_name=>'PO_POXRQVRQ',
open_flag => 'Y');
end if;
end if;
Ave the custom.pll and compile this execute the custom.pll
Copy both .pll and .plx in to the resource folder (Close the applications before
copying in to the respective top)

Special Trigger: - Total 45 are available.

We will use the special trigger to attach the menu options to the forms.
FAQs:
1) What are the steps we will follow for the form development
2) What are the libraries are available in TEMPLETE.FMB?
3) How to register table and primary key?
4) Why do we need to register the table
5) How t o implement who columns?
6) How to attach a calendar?
7) How to call another form from the standard forms?
8) How to implement DFF in the forms?
9) What are the events we can use in custom.pll?
10) What is meant by zoom?
11) We cant copy the CUSTOM.PLL in to the server when applications is opened?
a. In oracle applications all the forms are developed by TEMPLETE.FMB
including Navigator. So that, that time CUSTOM.PLL IS being used by the
application we can not update the library.
12) When we are working in the project we are not able to close all the users
application that time how to copy in to server.
a. We will be having the link file (crated by DBA), we will copy in to that path
only we have to logout and login then we can find the customization
effects.
13) How to generate .fmx and .plx in LINIX operating system
a. In windows we will use CTRL + T
b. In linix we will use F60GEN command
F60GEN MODULE=TEST.FMB
USERNAME/PASSWORD@HOST
F60GEN MODULE=CUSTOM.PLL TYPE=LIBRARY USERNAME/PASSWORD@HOST
14) In which top we will execute this F60GEN command

INTERFACES

KARUNAKAR.ADEPU

75

Interface is nothing but a program will be used to transfer the data from flat files to
database table or from database table to flat files with validations. WE have two types of
Interfaces like Inbound Interface Outbound Interface.
Inbound Interface
It will be used to upload the data from legacy system into Oracle Applications base table
Note: Legacy system is nothing but other applications which is used by client like SAP,
JAVA, Mainframe so on.
Example: In implementation project we can implement forms and report so that users
can enter the data after implementation but the previous data will be available in the
legacy system we need to bring that data in to Oracle Applicatoins with validations.
Usage: SQL*Loader, .txt, .ctl, .dis, .bad, .log
Outbound Interface
It will be used to extract the data from Oracle Applications base tables in to flat files
Example: Client is using to applications one is for financial and another one is for
manufacturing, we have to transfer manufacture data in to financial applications, so that
we can generate the Invoices in financial applications.
Usage: UTL_FILE_PACKAGE
UTL_FILE.FOPEN()
- Crate / Open file
UTL_FILE.PUT_LINE()
- Transfer the data in to file
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE() - Close file
Exercise OUTBOUND INTERFACE
We can generate flat file only in specified directory - to find directory list
Select * from V$PARAMETER Where NAME like %UTL_%
Or
INIT.ORA file contains the information about active directory list.
Flat file Requirement
PO Number, Type, Creation date, Buyer Name,
PO Type STANDARD Purchase orders only
Process Steps
1) Develop a procedure or package and register it as Concurrent Program
2) Writ the cursor to retrieve the data from database
3) Define the file by using UTL_FILE.FOPEN()
4) Open the cursor for loop and transfer the data in to file by using
UTL_FILE.PUT_LINE()
5) Close the cursor and close the file by using UTL_FILE.FCLOSE()

Process Steps:
1) Stage Table Cration
2) Control file development
3) PL/SQL Program
4) Submit Standard Program

Inbound interface will be used to upload the data from legacy system in to
Oracle applications base tables.

We will receive the flat file from the client then we will create staging table
upload the data from flat file in to stage table.

Develop the PL/SQL program to validate the data weather it is valid or not, if
it is valid we will insert in to interface table, if it is not valid we will insert in to
error table.

Once the data is available in interface table submit the standard program
from SRS window, and we will transfer the data from interface table to base
tables.

Note
o

Staging table is required because the flat file structure may or may not
be compatibles with base table structure.

3)
4)

Set of books should be defined (Currency, Calendar, Chart of Accounts)

2) Currency Conversion Rates needs to be defined.
Accounting Period should be defined and also opened
Source name and as well as category name should be defined.

Process Steps:
1) We have received flat file from client
2) We have created Staging table as per flat file structure
3) Developed Control file and uploaded data
4) Developed PL/SQL Program to upload the data from stage into interface
table
i. declare Cursor
ii. open cursor
iii. Validate each record
iv. If no invalid record then insert into interface table.
5) Run the journal import from GL => Journal => Import => Run
i. Give the two parameters 1)Source 2)Group ID
6) Open the Output if status is 'SUCEESS' then take Request ID.
7) open Journal Enter screen Query the records based on the %requestid%
As batch Name - Select Review journal button we can see the journal
detailed transaction
