1) Development of New ERP :

It may be developed by using software such as C, C++, Java, .Net, Oracle and etc.
Development of new ERP involves high risk i.e complete SDLC is to be followed.
It Involves Complete SDLC such as 1)Gathering Specs, 2) System Analysis 3) Designing
4) Architecture 5) Development 6) Testing 7) Sign Off
Disadvantage in Development of New ERP
1) Time taken ( long time )
2) Project Cost is an expensive
3) Vendor Dependent ( Supplier )
4) Weather it may be succeeded or failed
5) Lot of Resources are required
6) Enhancement of the project
7) Chance of raising lot of Bugs.
8) Not is to maintain the project.
2) Existing ERP
Eg : Oracle Apps and SAP
Oracle Apps from the Oracle Corp.
SAP form SAP Labs
Development is not necessary.
Simply purchasing, Simple modifications ( Customization ), Enhancement and Implementation
Advantages
1) Time will be reduced
2) Minimization of Cost.
3) Vendor independent.
4) Already Successfully implemented.
5) Much enhancements and modifications not necessary
6) Enhancement and Maintenance will be look after by the Supplier ( vendor)
7) Minimization of Resources.
With an existing ERPs 60 to 70 % of time will be reduced.
Only 30 to 40 % modifications are required to implement the existing ERP.
Generally any industry will spend only 10% of their turnover on the software.
Hence clients will prefer the exiting ERPs.

Existing ERPs in the Market
1) SAP 2) Oracle Apps, 3) Seibel 4) People Soft 5) JD Edwards 6) Baan

SAP Best suitable for Manufacturing
Oracle Apps Best suitable for Financials
SEIBEL Best suitable for CRM ( Customer Relationship Management )
People Soft Best suitable for HRMS ( Human Resources Management System )
JD Edwards Best suitable for Manufacturing, Operations and Sales.
Baan Best suitable for Manufacturing
Recently the ERPs such as SEIBEL, People Soft, and JD Edwards were adapted by the ORACLE Corp and
Developed as Oracle Fusion.
Hence with oracle apps we can handle the Financials, CRM, HRMS and Manufacturing
Comparison between SAP and Oracle Apps
SAP
ORACLE APPS
1) SAP is suitable for Manufacturing Modules
1) ORACLE APPS suitable for Financials, CRM,

HRMS
2) SAP uses the Oracle database and uses the

Sun Soft servers.
2) Its Own Data base. Since Sun micro system has

been taken over by Oracle Corp, Sun servers
can be used directly.
3) Client has to depend on the No.of Vendors.
3) Oracle Corp is responsible for all and need not

to depend on No.of vendors.
4) Implementation cost is more
4) Implementation cost is less
5) Resources expensive
5) Resources are economic
6) Only Large Scale industries can afford
6) Small Scale Industries can also afford
7) Not Easy to develop and maintain the

applications
7)Easy to develop and maintain the applications
8) It is an old ERP and having no. of customers
8) New ERP having less No.of customers.

When A form or a report is moving form one instance to other instance, after it has been developed, its all
associated components are also to be moved. It will be done by the DBA.
2) Execution Process: It will be developed by the Technical Consultant. It has to be developed by specifying
the logic implemented and functionality of an application.
CR Document :
It tells about the request made by the client, It could be minor changes such as some fields are to be added /
deleted to the existing form or may be deletion of procedure.
To implement any Oracle ERP the following Human Resources are required.
1)
DBA ( Database Administrator )
2)
Functional Consultant
3)
Technical Consultant
The ratio between Functional Consultant and Technical Consultant is 1 : 4

The No.of DBAs depends the servers using in the Application development.
Role of Data Base Administrator
1) Installing the oracle Application
2) Define the securities
3) Provide the user access to the front end and back end of the application
4) Database Support/ cleaning / back ups
5) Applying patches ( Scripts )

Scripts are provided by the Oracle Corporation

Eg: bug fixing, additional support. ( www.metalinks.oracle.com is a contact site to fix the bugs )
6) Define multiple instances ( Development, Testing, Quality, Production ( client test ) )
Role of Functional consultant
1) Interaction with the client
2) Gathering specs from the client for development / customization
3) Should explain about the product to the client
Ex: Financial, Manufacturing, CRM, HRMS.
As is document present feature of the product
To be document the features, which will be implemented in the future
4) Testing of the product
Functional consultant is the real tester for the ERP applications
Should not be tested by using automation tools. It is a purely manual testing.
5) Define the setups
Ex: report generation ( inr India, Dollar US )
6) Preparation of Functional Design Document
While interacting with the client,
if task is concerned to DBA, then he should introduce the DBA to the client,
if task is concerned to Technical Consultant, then he should introduce the Technical Consultant to the client,
Function consultant must have following skills
a) Expertise in Domino knowledge ( field working )
b) High communication skills
c) Presentation skills
d) Documentation skills
e) Leader ship quality
f) Interaction with new people
Role of Technical Consultant
1) Receives the document ( FDD ) form the Functional consultant
2) Should go through the document thoroughly
3) Analyze the FDD
4) Prepare the Technical Design Document ( TDD )

Ex : Tables, procedures, Forms, Reports, SQL Queries, PL/SQL Coding, Logic and functionality of
particular module
These document are :Procedure / Function level, 2) From Level, 3) Report Level, 4) Unit Level 5)
Module Level 5) Project level.
5) Development of Components / Objects
6) Testing the Components / Objects
7) Deliver the object to Testing Department
8) Support the testers
9) Interaction with DBA, Functional Consultant and some times with client.
Types of Objects used in the Oracle Apps
The objects/components, which are involved in Oracle apps are
1) RICE Components and 2) Functional Components
RICE Components are
R Reports
I
=== Reports 6i
Interfaces === SQL, PL/SQL and other Programs
C Conversions
= SQL, PL/SQL and other Programs
E Extensions
= Forms 6i
During an Implementation development of RICE components involves:

1. Creation of Reports that are not available as standard reports in the oracle apps modules.
2. Creation of the Interfaces to external systems.
3. Creation of Conversion programs to transfer data from a legacy system to the new system.
4. Enhancements (or extensions) to the existing system to add additional functionality to existing system without
disturbing the core software functionality of the system.
Functional Components are
1) P 2 P Cycle
2) O 2 C Cycle
P 2 P Cycle == PO AP CM GL
INV

Application Architectures
Single Tier Architecture :
Data and Application will be running in the same memory. Application and Data both are on the same system.
Eg:
C / Java / .Net Applications working files
Two Tier Architecture :

Data is in one memory and Application is in another memory. Application and Data both can be on the same system
or different systems in a network.

Oracle Applications architecture

Oracle Applications architecture is a framework for multi-tiered, distributed computing, that supports Oracle
Applications products. In this model, various services are distributed among multiple levels, or tiers.

SERVICE
A Service is a process or group of processes running on a single machine that provides a particular
functionality. The HTTP service, for example, is a process that listens for and processes HTTP requests, and the
Forms service is a process that listens for and processes requests for Oracle Forms.

14
TIER
A tier is a grouping of services, potentially across physical machines.
desktop tier, which provides the user interface display. Only the presentation layer of Oracle Applications is on the
desktop tier in the form of a plug-in to a standard Internet browser.
The application tier, which manages Oracle Applications and other tools;
The tiers that, manages the Oracle database is a Database-Tier;
Clients are generally windows

Application and Data base on Linux/Sun Solaris

15
The Desktop Tier

The client interface is provided through HTML for the Self-Service interface, and a Java applet for the
professional, forms-based interface using a Java-enabled Web browser. The desktop client with Oracle JInitiator
downloads the applet on demand and the applet is cached locally for future use.
Forms Client Applet

The forms client applet is a general-purpose presentation applet that supports all Oracle Applications
forms-based products, including those with customizations and extensions. The Forms client applet is packaged as
Java archive (JAR) files. The JAR files contain all Java classes required to run the presentation layer of Oracle
Applications forms. The Forms client applet and commonly used JAR files are downloaded from the Web server at
the beginning of the clients first session. Other less commonly used JAR files are downloaded as needed. The JAR
files remain in the disk cache on the desktop, ready for future sessions, minimizing network traffic. All updates are
installed on the application tier and downloaded to the client automatically through the use of the JInitiator-enabled
Web browser.
Oracle JInitiator
The forms client applet must run within a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) on the desktop. For Oracle
Applications, the JVM is supplied by Oracle JInitiator. Oracle JInitiator works in conjunction with the Web browser.
It is implemented on the desktop client as a plug-in (Netscape Communicator/ Mozilla Browser) or ActiveX
component (Microsoft Internet Explorer). When a user enters the desired Oracle Applications signon URL within

16
the Web browser, Oracle JInitiator is executed. If Oracle JInitiator has not been installed, the Web browser prompts
the user to download the necessary installation executable to the desktop client. Once installed, Oracle JInitiator
runs the Forms client applet and starts an Oracle Applications session.
The Application Tier

The application tier hosts the servers that process the business logic and provides the communication
between the desktop tier and the database tier. This tier is also referred to as the middle tier. Oracle 9 i Application
Server (9iAS) provides the technology stack used on the application tier. Six servers comprise the application tier
for Oracle Applications:
Web server
Forms server
Concurrent Processing server
Reports server
Discoverer server
Admin server
Load Balancing
The application tier supports load balancing among many of its servers to provide higher availability, fault
tolerance, reliability, and optimal scalability. Load balancing occurs when there are multiple installations of the
following:
Web server
Forms server
Reports server
Concurrent Processing server
Discoverer server
The Database Tier

The database tier contains the database server, which stores all the data maintained by Oracle Applications.
It also contains some processing code that is stored in the database to optimize performance. In Release 11 i, the
database includes the Oracle Applications online help information as well. More specifically, the database tier
contains the Oracle data server files and Oracle Applications database executables that physically store the tables,
indexes, and other database objects for your system. In general, the database server does not communicate directly

17
with the desktop clients, but rather with the servers on the application tier, which mediate the communications
between the database server and the client.

Applications Directory and File Types

Subdirectory
Name
Forms
Reports
Description
Contains Oracle Forms generated runtime (.fmx) files (Oracle Forms form files).
Contains Oracle Reports .rdf files for each product, which are platform-specific binary report files.
Reports for each language are stored in subdirectories of the reports directory.
Sql
Contains SQL*Plus scripts used to upgrade data, and .pkh, .pkb, and .pls scripts to create PL/SQL
stored procedures.
Plsql
Location where .pll files (PL/SQL library files for Oracle Reports) are unloaded, later in the
installation they are moved to the plsql subdirectory in the AU_TOP directory.
Contains output files for concurrent programs:
.mgr (master log file for concurrent manager)
log and out
.req (log file for a concurrent process)

Note: Log and out subdirectories under a product directory are
not used if you set up a common directory for log and output
files (except in FND_TOP).
Forms display messages at the bottom of the screen and in popup boxes. Concurrent programs also
Mesg
print messages in the log and output files. These messages are translated and stored in message files
separate from the forms and concurrent programs. This directory contains the .msb files (binary
message files used at runtime), and language-specific message files (such as a US.msb file for
American English and a D.msb file for German.)
PROD_TOP/admin contains files used by Auto Upgrade to upgrade each product. Note that this
Admin
directory is not the APPL_TOP/admin directory. The APPL_TOP/admin directory contains upgraderelated files for all products. This PROD_TOP/admin directory contains product-specific upgrade
files.
Bin
Driver
Contains concurrent program

Contains .drv files (driver files). Auto Upgrade processes in several phases, and each phase is
controlled by a driver file.

20
Import
Contains DataMerge files used to upgrade seed data.
Odf
Contains object description files (.odf files) used to create tables

and other database objects.
Help
Contains the online help source files. Within this directory are subdirectories for each language you
choose to install.
Html
HTML, Javascript, and Java Serve Page files, primarily for Self-Service Applications products.
Include
Contains C language header (.h) files that my be linked with files in the lib directory. Not all
products require this directory.
Contains files used to relink concurrent programs with the Oracle server libraries.
These files include:
object files (.o) with compiled code specific to one of the products programs;
Lib
a library file (.a) with compiled code common to the products programs;
a makefile (.mk) that specifies how to link executables.
Contains JAR files (Java Archive files) and Java dependency files. Copies of JAR files are also
Java
located in JAVA_TOP.
Media
The desktop client displays text and graphics from the .gif files
in this directory.
Patch
Updates to the data or data model use this directory to store the patch files.
resource
Contains .pll files (PL/SQL library files for Oracle Forms),

which, like the plsql directory files, are later copied to AU_TOP.
Custom Top :
This module is to support customer new requirements other than provided by oracle Corp. Custom Top is used
to create the customer ( client ) own forms / reports / or other data base objects as per the requirement of the customer. It
will be created by the customer. DBA is the responsible to create this module. At least on custom top is required for
every client. Multiple custom tops can also be created as per the demand.
Client need not to develop the modules such AP, PO, INV, AR, GL and etc. These will be provide by the oracle
corp. If any customer developed the database objects like forms/reports/ or any other objects inside the modules
provided by the Oracle Corp., these will be over written when the patches are applied to the oracle application.

21
Custom Top module can be uploaded and down loaded from the server where as other modules can only be
down loaded from the server but can not be uploaded to the server.
US folder :
This folder is a language specific. Default language is American English. Regional languages such as Japanese,
German, Hindi, Chinese and etc can be used for better under standing of the end users. This folder is applicable only for
Forms and Reports as they contain G.U.I components.
To display the available languages use the following query.
Select * from FND_LANGUAGES
Select * from FND_LANGUAGES where installed_flag in (B, D);
B Base languages, D Disabled languages, I Installed languages.
11.5.0 folder : It depends version of Oracle Application.
Functional consultant must have the clear idea about the version of the Oracle Application and its features
Most of the applications are being developed with 11.5.0 and R-12.

The basic things which are required in development of Oracle apps

1) Schema
2) Synonym
Schema

22
Schema is an area in the oracle database, where we can create database objects. One schema or more than one
schema can be created in one database as per the client requirement.
Schema contains database objects such as Tables, procedures, functions, triggers, views, indexes, synonyms, packages.
One schema is required for every module.
Synonym is an alternative name for any database object.
If any user logged into any schema he can access concerned objects only. He can not have the access to other schema
objects. To other schemas user must have privileges.
Eg:
There are two schemas called X and Y . if user logged into schema X then he can access the objects of
schema X only . He can not have the access to Schema Y. If user wants access the Schema Y, then user must be granted
permissions by the Schema Y.
There is no integration between schemas. To integrate the all schemas in a database oracle provides Apps
Schema.
APPS schema:
Oracle provides Apps Schema, which enable the user to access all schemas in a database. Apps schema integrate
all the schemas in a database.
The APPS schema has access to the complete Oracle E-Business Suite datamodel. It is analogous to the
SYSTEM schema, which has access to the entire database. Oracle Applications responsibilities connect to an APPS
schema and the environment variable FNDNAM is set to the name of the APPS schema.
APPS schema contains only synonyms to the database objects in other schemas. Every object in the base
product schema will have a synonym in the APPS schema.
APPS and Base Product Schemas

There is one schema for each producta base product schemathat owns the data objects for that product.
There is one schemaAPPSthat owns all the code objects for the E-Business Suite and has access to all data objects.

23
There is one APPS schema for every product installation group. The following code objects are installed in the APPS
schema:
Views
Packages
Procedures
Functions
Triggers
The following objects are installed in the base product schemas:
Tables
Sequences
Indexes
Constraints
In addition, there are grants from the tables and sequences to the APPS schema, as well as synonyms from the APPS
schema to those objects.

( HRMS schema )
( A.P Schema )
We have to select the data from four tables. Apps Schema provides corresponding synonym for every table in
other Schemas, so as to enable the user to access the data from tables of different schemas.
Eg:
A.P Schema is having 50 objects
P.O Schema is having 100 objects
INV schema is having 100 objects
A.R Schema is having 50 objects
HRMS Schema is having 100 objects
Then apps Schema will maintain 350 ( A.P + P.O + INV + A.R + HRMS ) synonyms.
For convenient name of the synonym and database object will be the same.
Select * form emp, item, supplier where
emp, item, supplier are synonyms available in the Apps Schema
Emp HRMS.emp,
item INV.item,
supplierPO.supplier ,
Difference between Apps Schema and base product schemas

Apps Schema
1) It will not maintain any data
Base Product Schemas

1) It will maintain data in the form of tables
2) only synonyms and few of Multi Org views
2) all Database Objects
3) User will always be connected to Apps schema
3) User will never be connected. Some times may be

connected to particular schema only.
4) Apps is having grants to other schemas
4) Do not have the grants.
In development of oracle applications, we use 95 % DML and TCL commands and 5 % DDL commands.

25
If customer want to add own custom schema, then we have create the custom schema and grant the privileges to Apps
schema. It is a job of DBA. The Technical consultant must have idea of all important tables, which are used in the
application.

Responsibility is a Level of Authority which Combines Forms, Report and Application
User ID's.
Eg: ( LG company : clerk, senior clerk, manager, General Manager, Managing Director, CEO )
Data Group is a Collection of Oracle Application UserID's. it will be for Security purpose.(STANDARD will
be used)
Request group is a collection of Concurrent Program add the request group whatever we have created.
it will automatically retrieves the Application Name.
Menu : Menu is a collection of Forms and Sub Menus select any one of Existing Menu.
Note : Once we create the Responsibility we can not delete instead of that we can disable by using Effective
start Date and End date.
STEP7 : attach Responsibility to the user.

Go to application home page
Security : user

39
Define
add the responsibility to user
Query for the user ( F11 )

Executable:
After moving .rdf in to the server, we will crate executable by specifying execution
name execution method and application name.
Request Set:
Request set is a collection of report / Programs that you group together and can be submitted to run is a
single interaction.
Request Id:
When submit a request oracle application assigns a request id to the request. We can use this request id
to search for request.

Cancel Request:
This button will help to stop the running request.
View LOG:
Using this we can see the technical details of the concurrent programs.
View Output:
Using this we can see the actual result data.
Concurrent Program:
After creation of executable we will create concurrent Program 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, where as 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.
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 field will be used to map concurrent Program
parameters with report builder find variable. We will enter the find variable name
in the toke 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.

Using this we can schedule the program to run periodically or on specific time also we coy a schedule for
future.
Scheduling the Concurrent program
We can submit the Concurrent program future date or date by using the schedule button
in SRS window
1. As soon as possible: This is default option whenever we submit the request it
will submit the as soon as possible
2. Once: It will submit the rest only once for future date.
3. Periodically: WE can specify the from_date and to_date to submit program
periodically no of. Days months, hours, minutes and so on.
4. Specific Days: If we want submit concurrent program in the specific days we
write select this option
5. Save this Schedule: This check box will be used to save the schedule and
apply same schedule to other concurrent programs by selecting the button called
Apply save schedule
Print & Notify:
Using this we can notify the concurrent program run details and also control the print option.

Different Types of Tables in Oracle Apps

1) Interface Tables
2) Base Tables
1) Global Tables
2) Org Specific Tables
3) Language Specific Tables
Interface Tables :
These are intermediate tables between apps base tables and external tables. Oracle Program is used to transfer data
from other tables to Apps Interface tables. Apps interface program is used to transfer data from Interface tables to
Base tables.

46
Eg:
AP_INVOICE_HEADER_INTERFACE
AP_INVOICE_LINES_INTERFACE
Base Tables :
These are actual tables where the data will be stored. These tables will not be updated from the back end .
A from is dependent on one or more tables.
Eg:
AP_INVOICE_ALL
Based on storage of data, base tables are divided into following
1) Global Tables
2) Org Specific Tables
3) Language Specific Tables
Global Tables :
The data in this tables is not specific to any organization of a business. This data can be shared across all the
organizations of business group.
Eg:
Employs data, Suppliers data, Accounting data, Bank Transactions data
Org specific Tables :

The data stored in this tables are specific to particular organization.
Eg: Invoice Details
Org Specific tables will have ALL as their suffix
AP_INVOICE_ALL
Language Tables :
Apps supports the multiple languages. These tables will maintain the language specific data.
These table will have TL as its suffix
Different Types Columns in a table :
Eg :
MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_B
1) Data Columns :
These columns contains base transactional data, which is entered from the apps form.
USER_NAME, DESCRIPTION, EMPLOYEE_ID, EMAIL_ADDRESS
2) Derived Columns :
These are primary key columns. This data will be generated from oracle database sequence.
USER_ID

47
3) Who Columns :
These are called as history columns. This data will be gerated automatically by the oracle application form.
These columns are
1) CREATED_BY
2) CREATION_DATE
3) LAST_UPDATED_BY
4) LAST_UPDATE_DATE
5) LAST_UPDATE_LOGIN
Every apps table has the above columns
4) Global Attribute Columns :
These columns will maintain the functionality information, which is provided by the ORACLE Corp.
GLOBAL_ATTRIBUTE1
GLOBAL_ATTRIBUTE2, . 10.
5) Additional Cols :
These columns are used to store the data, which is from additional fields added to the existing form during the
customization of a form.
ATTRIBUTE1, ATTRIBUTE2, ATTRIBUTE3.. 15
6) Key Columns : These are called as segment columns. Used to maintain the key flex field data.
A field will have subfields
Eg:
Account Num :
COMPANY-COUNTRY-DEPARTMENT-ACCOUNT
LG-IND-SALES-4523
SEGMENT1, SEGMENT2, . SEGMENT20.
Developing one more report and to application and execute
Eg:
Employees information report
EmpId
EmpName
Startdate
1) develop the report

2) transfer form client machine to server machine
3) create executable
4) create concurrent program and attach executable
5) Create Request Group and attach Concurrent Program
6) create responsibility and attach 1)Request Group
2)Data Group
3)Menu
7) add the responsibility to user
8) go to srs execute

48
Report with input Parameters

STEP 1: Develop the report with parameters
Requirement:
First Page :
Title from the user input
Second Page :
UserId
UserName
CreationDate
Last Page :
Total Users :
Input parameters are
Enter From Id :
Enter To Id :
Enter Title
1) Create three parameter
P_From : number type (10)
P_To
: number type (10)
P_Title : char (100)

2) Data Model
Query :
SELECT USER_ID,
USER_NAME,
CREATION_DATE
FROM FND_USER
WHERE USER_ID BETWEEN :P_FROM AND :P_TO

49
Create Summary column for total count : USER_COUNT

3) Layout model
Header Section : text filed map with P_TITLE
Main Section
: required layout and map the text fields with required fields
Trailer Section : Text Field map with USER_COUNT

4) compile and test the report
5) save in the local machine : file name : user-param.rdf
STEP 2: transfer the file user-param.rdf from local machine to the server
STEP 3 : LOGIN INTO APPLICATION
Create executable file
STEP 4: Create concurrent program and attach the executable
Map the parameters
Click on parameters button ( at the bottom )
Seq
: it is serial number ( unique value )
Parameter
: Enter From Id ( its prompt value )
Description
: as desired (optional)
Value Set
: data type ( 10/number or FND_NUMBER pre-defined )
Token
: P_From ( it is a name of the input parameter in the report for mapping )
Required
: enable mandatory field

Disable optional filed
Range
: low for validation ( lower than other filed value )
STEP 5 : create request group and attach the concurrent program

STEP 6 : create responsibility and attach
Request Group
Data Group

50
Menu
STEP 7 : add responsibility to user
STEP 8 : go to srs window
Go to application home
Select the any on the left side pane it shows current responsibility
View request
Submit request
Change in the above report

Lay out Model :
Header Section :
Default Title : if user input is null it should be displayed
Select the label and place on the canvas ( user information report )
Write the trigger ( right click )
PL/SQL Editor :
function B_5FormatTrigger return boolean is
begin
if( :P_TITLE is null )then
return (TRUE);
else
return
false;
end if;
end;
Trailer Section :
Default label : No data found ( it total no.of records are zero )
Select the label and place on the canvas (No data found )
Write the trigger ( right click )
PL/SQL Editor :
function B_6FormatTrigger return boolean is
begin
if ( :USER_COUNT <=0 )THEN
return (TRUE);
else
return false ;
end if ;

51
end;
Text field its lable : disable if no records
PL/SQL Editor : ( for both same code )
if ( :USER_COUNT <=0 )THEN
return false;
else
return true ;
end if ;
Again Change in the above report

Using lexical parameters dynamically
If input for both From Id and To Id is null where clause should be obtained dynamically
1) Create lexical parameter : P_WHERE
2)
Query :
SELECT USER_ID,
USER_NAME,
CREATION_DATE
FROM FND_USER
&P_WHERE
Here lexical parameter is not reading form the user. Its value populated dynamically. Hence it is not required to
map with the application parameters
To populate dynamical write PL/CODE in the after parameter form trigger
function AfterPForm return boolean is
begin
if ( :P_FROM is null and :P_TO is null ) then
:P_WHERE:='';
else
:P_WHERE:='where USER_ID between :P_FROM and P_TO';
end if ;
return (TRUE);
end;
CHECKING THE REQUIRED OPTION : enable ( mandatory field )
Go to Create concurrent program parameters enable the fields

52
Working with date :

Requirement
Input :
From Date :
To Date :
UserId
UserName
CreationDate
Total Users :
Step1: Develop the report
1) Create Parameters
P_FROM :
Date type : date, input mask : YYYY/MM/DD HH24:MI:SS
P_TO
Date type : date, input mask : YYYY/MM/DD HH24:MI:SS
2) Data Model
Query
SELECT USER_ID,
USER_NAME,
CREATION_DATE
FROM FND_USER
WHERE CREATION_DATE BETWEEN :P_FROM AND :P_TO
create a summary column : TOTAL_COUNT
3) Layout Model
Header Section :
Prepare the required title
Main Section:
UserId
UserName
CreationDate
Trailer Section :
Total Users :
Repeat the other steps such registry and running as explained in the previous examples
Step 5 : while creation of concurrent program :
Parameters :
Pre defined Date value set : FND_STANDARD_DATE
In all the above example we have followed following steps
1) Executable
2) Concurrent Program
3) Request Group
4) Responsibility
5) Users

53
6) SRS
Here the question is why not use executable directly with users ?
What is the advantage in using Concurrent program ?
Purpose : single exe can be created with multiple Concurrent Programs
with different input parameters
with different output forms
with different applications
different input parameters
eg:
Client1 requires : only one parameter ( From Date)
Client2 requires : two parameters ( From Date )
( To Date )
different output forms:
eg:
Client1 requires in PDF format
Client2 requires in XML format
Other client requires in excel sheet format
What is the advantage in using Request group ?
To group the multiple programs
What is the advantage in using Responsibility group ?
Menu we can add different menus with different Concurrent Program and Form can also be attached
Request Group : Nothing
Data Group : Nothing
Default Types
1) Constant
2) SQL Statement
3) Segment
4) Current Date
5) Current Time
6) Profile

54
Constant
To pass the constant values such as numbers, chars, String , Date.
Enter From Id
Enter To Id
Enter Tile :
Eg:
Enter Tile :
Default Type : constant
Default Value : Users Information Report
SQL Statement
Enter From Id
Enter To Id
Enter Tile :
Enter From Id :
Default Type : sql statement
Default Value : select min(user_id) from fnd_user
The above select query returns user_id : -1, -ve value will not be considered for 10/number, we have to
change data type as 15 char
Enter To Id :
Default Type : sql statement
Default Value : select max(user_id) from fnd_user
Segment :
This is to get previous parameter value to the next parameter
Enter From Id:
Enter To Id :
Default Type: segment
Value Sets :
Default Value : Enter From Id
System provides built-in ( pre-defined ) value sets

Value set is a list of values with validations which will be used to restrict the user without entering the
invalid data in the Parameters
value sets are used in two scenarios.
1)Concurrent Program parameters
2)Flex fields
These are of 8 types of Validation types
1) NONE
2) Dependent
3) Independent
4) Table

55
5) Translate dependent
6) Translate Independent
7) Special
8) Pair
Note : the 1st four are mostly used.
All pre-defined are NONE type.
Creation of user defined value sets
These will be created based on some conditions.
1)
NONE type
Eg 1: conditions
1) only digits ( 0-9)
2) Max 4 digits
3) Min Value : 150
4) Max Value : 5600
Steps to create value sets

( as desired )
Max Value : 5600 ( as desired )
Validation type : None

Note : After define use in the concurrent program, while defining parameters
Eg 2: conditions
5) Max 15 chars
6) Upper
7) If user input is number, it should precede with zeros
Value set name : CUST_15CHARS

58
Description : 15 chars text ( as desired )

List of Values : list of values
Format Type : Char
Max Size : 15
( max no.of chars)

Working with Stored Procedures and Packages
Stored Procedure :
1) It is sub a program, which contains set of statements.
2) It is a pre-compiled program at server side.
3) It carries three type of parameters, In, Out , InOut
In Parameter to pass the value
Out Parameter to return the value
InOut Prameter to pass as well as to return the value.
4) It can not return the values directly from the stored procedure. It returns the values
through the out parameter or InOut Parameter.
Advantages:
1) We can obtain more performance as it is a precompiled program at server side.
2) Since It will be stored at the server side , it can be shared by multiple clients at time.

FUNCTIONAL MODULES
Multi Orgs ( Multiple Organizations ) :It is a process of storing multiple organizations information in a single server with single
Installation . It is like a MNC.
Multiple Organizations in Oracle Applications

The Oracle Applications organization models define organizations and the relationships among them in
arbitrarily complex enterprises. This organization model serves as the cornerstone for all of the Oracle Applications
products. It dictates how transactions flow through different organizations and how those organizations interact with
each other.
Generally, a complex enterprise has several organization structures, such as Internal, Accounting, and Human
Resources. You are able to define different structures to customize Oracle Applications according to your business
needs.
Organization can be a Company / Branch / Dept / Area / Unit
Basic Business Needs
Oracle Applications provides you with the features you need to satisfy the following basic business needs:
Use a single installation of any Oracle Applications product to support any number of organizations, even if
those organizations use different sets of books.
Define different organization models
Support any number of legal entities within a single installation of Oracle Applications.
Secure access to data so that users can access only the information that is relevant to them.
Sell products from a legal entity that uses one set of books and ship them from another legal entity using a
different set of books, and automatically record the appropriate intercompany sales by posting intercompany
accounts payable and accounts receivable invoices.
Purchase products through one legal entity and receive them in another legal entity.

75
Major Features
Multiple Organizations in a Single Installation
You can define multiple organizations and the relationships among them in a single installation of Oracle
Applications. These organizations can be sets of books, business groups, legal entities, operating units, or inventory
organizations.
Secure Access
You can assign users to particular organizations. This ensures accurate transactions in the correct operating unit.
Sell And Ship Products From Different Legal Entities
You can sell from one legal entity and ship from another, posting to each organizations set of books.
Receive Goods Into Any Inventory Organization
You can enter purchase orders and assign for receipt any inventory organization that uses the same set of books. Your
purchase order operating unit and receiving inventory organization must share the same set of books to receive against a
purchase order.
Automatic Accounting for Internal Requisitions
You can create an internal requisition (sales order) in one organization, then ship from another organization, with correct
intercompany invoicing.
Multiple Organizations Reporting
You can set up your Oracle Applications implementation to allow reporting across operating units by setting up the top
reporting level. You can run your reports at the set of books level, legal entity level, or operating unit level
Multiple Organizations in a Single Installation:
You can support multiple organizations running any Oracle Applications product with a single installation.
When you run any Oracle Applications product, you first choose an organizationeither implicitly by choosing a
responsibility, or explicitly in a Choose Organization window. Each window and report then displays information for
your organization only.
Organizations that share the same functional currency, Accounting Flexfield structure, and calendar can post to
the same set of books.

76
It is in seven levels.
1) Business Group
2) Set Of Books
3) Legal Entity
4) Operating Unit
5) Inventory Organization
6) Sub Inventory

Business Group
The business group represents the highest level in the organization structure, such as the consolidated
enterprise, a major division, or an operation company. The business group secures human resources information. For
example, when you request a list of employees, you see all employees assigned to the business group of which your
organization is a part. Employment will also be created.
Eg : Head Office , Regional Level Head Quarter
Note: This is true in all applications except the HR applications, which support more granular security by a
lowerlevel organization unit, the security profile. Multiple sets of books can share the same business group if
they share the same business group attributes, including HR flexfield structures.
Set of Books

77
It is a logical entity. A financial reporting entity that uses a particular chart of accounts, functional currency, and
accounting calendar. Oracle General Ledger secures transaction information (such as journal entries and balances) by set
of books. When you use Oracle General Ledger, you choose a responsibility that specifies a set of books. You then see
information for that set of books only.
Legal Entity
A legal company for which you prepare fiscal or tax reports and submitted to the government. You assign tax
identifiers and other legal entity information to this type of organization.
Operating Unit
An organization that uses Oracle Cash Management, Order Management and Shipping Execution, Oracle
Payables, Oracle Purchasing, and Oracle Receivables. It may be a sales office, a division, or a department. An operating
unit is associated with a legal entity. Information is secured by operating unit for these applications. Each user sees
information only for their operating unit. To run any of these applications, you choose a responsibility associated with
an organization classified as an operating unit.
Inventory Organization
An organization for which you track inventory transactions and balances, and/or an organization that
manufactures or distributes products. Examples include (but are not limited to) manufacturing plants, warehouses,
distribution centers, and sales offices.
The following applications secure information by inventory organization:
Oracle Inventory, Bills of Material, Engineering, Work in Process, Master Scheduling/MRP, Capacity, and
Purchasing receiving functions. To run any of these applications, you must choose an organization that has been
classified as an inventory organization.
Business group at the top of each hierarchy. When you define new organizations, they are automatically
assigned to the business group associated with your current session. Each organization is part of a business group. The
business group is usually the top box on an enterprise organization chart.

78
The business group is the largest organization unit you set up in Human Resources to represent your enterprises
as an employer. After defining one or more business groups for your enterprise, you set up one or more government
reporting entities (GREs) within each business group. The GRE is the organization that federal, state, and local
governments recognize as the employer .
Below this level, you represent the groupings in which employees work, such as branches, departments, or
sections, by means of internal organizations. To enable the assignment of employees to an internal organization, you
classify the internal organization as an HR organization.
You can define external organizations in the same way as internal organizations, so that you can represent
organizations that are not part of your enterprise (such as training vendors or tax offices). The major difference between
internal and external organizations is that you cannot assign people to an external organization.
Accounting / Distribution / Materials Management Organization Model

Using the accounting, distribution, and materials management functions in Oracle Applications, you define the
relationships among inventory organizations, operating units, legal entities, and sets of books to create a multilevel
company structure, as shown in Figure

79
Multilevel Company Structure Example
Legal Entities Post to a Set of Books

Each organization classified as a legal entity identifies a set of books to post accounting transactions.
Operating Units Are Part of a Legal Entity
Each organization classified as an operating unit is associated with a legal entity.
Inventory Organizations are Part of an Operating Unit
Each organization classified as an inventory organization references an operating unit.
Inventory Organization Determines Items Available to Order Management
The Item Validation Organization parameter specifies which Oracle Manufacturing organization is used to
validate inventory items. You must define all transactable items in this organization. Some inventory item attributes for
Receivables and Order Management, including Tax Code and Sales Account, are specific to an operating unit or an
accounting flexfield structure. Therefore, you should define an item validation organization for each operating unit.
Inventory Organization Determines Items Available to Purchasing
The inventory organization you specify in the financial options for each operating unit determines the items
available in Purchasing. You can only choose an inventory organization that uses the same set of books as your
operating unit.

Requisition Types
1) Benefits of Online Requisitions :
You can save time, money, and paper by processing requisitions online. With a paper system, you must provide forms
to the requestor, the requestor must send the form to someone else to be approved, and the buyer must manually
consolidate requisitions to place on a purchase order. Throughout all of these transactions, you Requisitions 3 7 may

119
generate a number of errors, waste time, and lose money. Some of the many problems you may incur with paper
requisitions include:
The requestor may not fill in the requisition completely or accurately.
The requestors handwriting may be illegible.
Someone without proper authority can potentially approve a requisition.
The requestor might have to mail the requisition to an approver at a different location and wait a number of days to get
it back.
The approver or buyer may lose or damage the requisition
.
The buyer may translate the information from the requisition to the purchase order incorrectly.
You may lose significant quantity discounts if the buyer cannot locate all the requisitions that reference a particular
item.
Implementing Online Requisitions

Many companies want to provide online requisitions to everyone in the company. Others want to limit
the number of users who have access to the system. Purchasing is flexible enough to meet the needs of your company.
To give everyone access to the system, simply create a user name for each employee in the company and assign the
employee the appropriate responsibilities. You can easily designate a smaller group of individuals as requisition
preparers if you want to limit the number of requestors on the system. These people can create requisitions for anyone in
the company by identifying the appropriate requestor directly on the requisition line. You might also want to limit some
preparers to internal requisitions and others to purchase requisitions. You can also print requisitions to obtain signature
approvals if some of the approvers do not have access to the system. You can then assign an individual to update the
authorization status for these requisitions.
Purchase Requisitions
Use the Requisitions window to create requisitions. You must choose the requisition type (internal or
purchase). You can also provide a description, unlimited notes, and defaults for requisition lines. For each requisition
line, you choose the item you want to order along with the quantity and delivery location. You can get sourced pricing
from catalog quotations or open blanket purchase agreements. You can also choose a price from a list of historical
purchase order prices. In the Distributions window, you can charge the item to the appropriate 3 8 Oracle Purchasing
Users Guide accounts, or you can let the Account Generator create the accounts for you. Once you complete the
requisition, you send it through the approval process.

120
Internal Requisitions
Unlike purchase requisitions, which are supplied from purchase orders, internal requisitions are
supplied from internal sales orders. Internal requisitions are not picked up when you AutoCreate RFQs or purchase
orders, nor can they be assigned to a buyer in the Assign Requisitions window.
Requisition Templates
Use the Requisition Templates window to define requisition templates for items you purchase
frequently. For example, if you frequently buy certain office supplies, you can set up an office supplies template for
your requestors. This template consists of a list of all items, prices, and sourcing information you want available to the
requestor. When you want to order items from this template, use the Supplier Item Catalog, choose the office supplies
template, and indicate the quantity you want to order. Purchasing supplies default sourcing and delivery information.
Imported Requisitions
Purchasing lets you import or reschedule requisitions from other Oracle or nonOracle systems. For
example, Work in Process uses Requisition Import to create requisitions for outside processing. Similarly, Master
Scheduling/MRP automatically creates requisitions using Requisition Import when you mass load purchase requisitions.
Master Scheduling/MRP also automatically reschedules existing requisitions by updating the needby date during this
process. If you are using Inventory, you can send a requisition requirement to Purchasing and then run Requisition
Import in Purchasing to create the requisition.
Paper Requisitions
You do not need to create a requisition online to purchase an item. Instead, you can reference a paper
requisition number directly on the Requisitions 3 9 purchase order Distribution Details.

Apps Reports Using some Functional Concepts :

Eg :
SONY is a Company wants to Migrate from Main Frame Applications to Oracle Applications.
Step1:
GAP Analysis : It GAP between the Oracle ERP Package and Requirement of SONY Company.
GAP Analysis will be done by Solution Architect. He will prepare the High level document.
GAP Analysis document is called as : MD020.
Step2 :
It will be sent to Sr. F.C for more Analysis. F.C will Analyase the exact requirement to fulfill the GAP.
He define what are the RICE Components are required to fulfill the GAP.
F.C prepare the document for the Required components and sent to the T.C
Functional Document is Called as : MD050
Step3 :
Technical Consultant will go through the entire document and he will prepare the technical approach
for the requirement given by the F.C

Technical Consultant Approach Document is called as : MD070
Technical Consultant Analysis :
1) What is type of Report ( XML / RDF / (SQL or PL/SQL ) / OBIEE )
2) Type of output expected ( PDF / TEXT / XML / HTML )
3) Single Report / Multi Purpose report
After getting above information To develop the report T.C should identify the following
1) Tables
2) Columns
3) Mapping Columns 4) Join Condition / Filtering Condition.
To develop the above T.C should get information such as Application Name, Responsibility and Form
Name from the F.C
Eg:
ORGNAME ITEMNAME
DESCRIPTION
UOM
STATUS
Application Name : Inventory

240
Responsibility : Inventory Vision Operations ( USA )

Form : Item Master Item

Column : DESCRIPTION
UOM from table : MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_B
Column : PRIMARY_UNIT_OF_MEASURE
STATUS from the table : MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_B
Column : INVENTORY_ITEM_STATUS_CODE
After identifying all the tales and columns then write the Query with ( n-1 ) Join conditions
Here only two table, then one Join Condition is enough.
Fro the Join condition take the Common column between two tables
Query :
SELECT

User Profiles
A user profile is a set of changeable options, which will be used to change the way of applications execution.
Oracle Application Object Library establishes a value for each option in a users profile when the user logs on or
changes responsibility.
Your user can change the value of profile options at any time. Oracle Application Object Library provides many options
that your users can set to alter the user interface of your applications to satisfy their individual preferences.
Purpose of change of execution
Eg:
There is a company called Reliance, for which Oracle Application has been installed
Different authority at different levels are working on the same Application
For example, login are
CLERK
SUPERVISOR
MANAGER
GENERAL MANAGER
MANAGING DIRECTOR
CEO
The above all authorities will not have same limits, every authority will have their own limits
For example
CLERK can purchase items for max value of $1000

SUPERVISOR $2000
MANAGER..$3000
Hence based their limits way of applications execution should be changed.

Based on profile of the employee application is to executed
Here profile means employee personal details such as clerk limits, branch of working, dept of working, position of
working.
Every module consists of 40 to 50 profiles.

243
User Profile Levels

1)
2)
3)
4)
User Level
Responsibility Level
Application Level
Site Level
Oracle Application Object Library treats user profile levels as a hierarchy, where User is the highest level of the
hierarchy, followed by Responsibility, Application and at the lowest level, Site. Higherlevel option values override
lowerlevel option values.
Each user profile option ordinarily exists at each level. For example, Oracle Application Object Library
provides a sitelevel Printer option, an applicationlevel Printer option, and so on. Oracle Application Object Library
enforces the level hierarchy to ensure that higherlevel option values override lowerlevel values. As a result, if your
Sitelevel Printer value is Printer1, but your Userlevel Printer value is Printer2, your reports print on the printer2.
User Level :
User is the highest user profile level and is immediately above
Responsibility. Userlevel option values affect the way applications run for an application user.
Responsibility Level :
Responsibility is the user profile level immediately above Application.
Responsibilitylevel option values affect the way applications run for all users of a responsibility.
Application Level :
Application is the user profile level immediately above Site.
Applicationlevel option values affect the way a particular application runs.
Site Level :
Site is the lowest user profile level.
Sitelevel option values affect the way all applications run at a given installation.
Note : Default is site level
If we assign profile value at Site Level, then it is applicable for all users.
If we assign profile for more than on level then top level value will be given more priority
Application level profile overwrites the profile value at the SITE LEVEL
Responsibility level profile overwrites the profile value at the SITE LEVEL and APPLICATION LEVEL
User level profile overwrites the profile value at the SITE LEVEL ,
APPLICATION LEVEL , and
RESPONSIBILITY LEVEL.

244
Latest Version Provides two more 1) SERVER LEVEL 2) ORGANISATION

These two are for future purpose.
Note : Most of the responsibilities will be assigned at the RESPONSIBILITY LEVEL.
Responsibility is a group of FORMS, REPORTS and PROGRAMS . It is for specific position in the organization
Application is also a group of FORMS, REPORTS and PROGRAMS . It is for specific buisiness in the organization
Application will be divided into responsibilities and the responsibilities will given to employees
Same forms will be grouped and named as responsibility and assigned user.
Diff between Application and Responsibility:
============================================
Both are Group of Forms(Menu)
Group of Concurrent Programs(Request Group)
Group of Users (Data group)
But Application as per the Business functionality requirement
Responsibility will group as per the position requirement.
Profiles : Profiles are used to change the run behavior of an application.
These are

How to get the user profiles
Fnd_Profile.Get('ProfileName',
local Variable);
local Variable:= Fnd_Profile.Value('Profile Name');
Both API's will be used to retrieve the Profile value frombackend
Get() is Procedure
Value() is Function
Oracle Has provided both Procedure and Function becuase in some of the areas we can not
use procedure then we can use function.
For Ex: in SELECT clause we can not use procedure we have to go for using the Function.

2) Registration of table
Using AD_DD package we can register the table
To see the contents of above package go to TOAD tool and AD_DD ( f4 )
AD_DD package provides register_table procedure to register the table
register_column procedure to register the table columns
go sql command prompt and register
SQL> EXEC AD_DD.REGISTER_TABLE('INV', 'ITEM_TEST', 'T');
Registerthecolumns
SQL>EXEC AD_DD.REGISTER_COLUMN('INV','ITEM_TEST','ITEM',1,'VARCHAR2',100,'N','Y');
SQL> EXEC AD_DD.REGISTER_COLUMN('INV','ITEM_TEST','ITEM_DESC',2,'VARCHAR2',100,'N','Y');

265
SQL> EXEC AD_DD.REGISTER_COLUMN('INV','ITEM_TEST','ITEM_DATE',3,'DATE',11,'N','Y');

SQL> EXEC AD_DD.REGISTER_COLUMN('INV','ITEM_TEST','ITEM_PRICE',4,'NUMBER',9,'N','Y');
SQL> COMMIT ;
To see the above table from the front end
Go to application developer Application Database Table Query ( F11)
Q. why the table should be register
Ans : to get the AOL features such as WHO Columns, Table value sets, Flex Fields, Multi Args and Profiles
Attaching Calendar to From :

FLEX FIELDS
==========
Flexfield are made up with Attribute columns or Segment columns .
which are more flexible than the normal fields.
Flex fields are two types
1)DFF (Descriptive Flex Field)
2)KFF (Key Flex Field)
DFF: It will be used to capture the Additional information from the end user without change the code in the form and
without Alter the DB object. ATTRIBUTE Columns will be used to Capture the DFF data.
Eg :
EMP Form(old )
Emp Table
Emp No :
empno
Emp Name :
ename
Sal
sal
Additional fields
Project :
Designation :
Loc
:
[ ] called as flex fields
Additional fields will be stored into attribute columns ( attr1, attr2, ..attr15)
Data Type of attribute columns is varchar2
If DFF is available then need not down load the form and customize the form
Pre-Requisite to create DFF:
1) Application Name
2) Form Name

Customization of a from by using CUSTOM.PLL
We can implement Following actions by using CUSTOM.pll
1) Hide the Fields
2)Make the field as Mandatory or optional
3)change field prompt
4)Change the Visuval attaribute Dynamically.
The trigger which are used in Customization of a from by using CUSTOM.PLL
WHEN-NEW-BLOCK-INSTANCE
WHEN-NEW-RECORD-INSTANCE
WHEN-NEW-ITEM-INSTANCE
WHEN-VALIDATE-RECORD
ZOOM
SPECIAL TRIGGERS
Zoom Trigger will be used to call the another forms from the standard forms.
Special triggers will be used to attach the menu options.
CUSTOM.pll will be located in AU_TOP/11.5.0/Resource/
To work with the CUSTOM.pll the following are required

301
1) Form Name
2) Block Name
3) Field Name
4) What customization
5) When customization will be executed
Eg: When the form is opened : WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE
Steps to Customization of a from by using CUSTOM.PLL
1) down load the CUSTOM.PLL from the location
AU_TOP/11.5.0/Resource/
2) Open the CUSTOM.PLL with forms 6i
3) Go to PL/SQL Libraries CUSTOM Program units CUSTOM ( package body )
Goto Event Procedure
Write 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 (event_name = 'WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE') then
if (form_name = 'APXWCARD' and block_name = 'CARDS') then
APP_ITEM_PROPERTY2.SET_PROPERTY('CARDS.DEPARTMENT_NAME', -BlockName.FieldName
DISPLAYED,
PROPERTY_OFF);
APP_ITEM_PROPERTY2.SET_PROPERTY('PO_HEADERS.SEGMENT1',
PROMPT_TEXT,
'PO Number');
APP_ITEM_PROPERTY2.SET_PROPERTY('REGIONS.REGION_LONG_NAME',
CASE_RESTRICTION,
UPPERCASE);
end if;
end if;
(attach the Library called APPCORE2.pll) as the APP_ITEM_PROPERTY2 is package form APPCORE2.pll
SET_PROPERTY is a procedure from package called APP_ITEM_PROPERTY2

302
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. (D:\oracle\visappl\au\11.5.0\resource )
(Note: before going to copy into the server close the complete Application)
ZOOM Option :
ZOOM Icon is used to To open a form from another from
ZOOM Icon can not be used in the form personalization.
ZOOM Trigger is similar to the Button
It is a global to the Oracle Application, Using this any form can be invoked
It is a global. It can be used for all forms.
ZOOM Triggers are 1) Enable
2) Executable
Enabling ZOOM Trigger

Custom ( package body )
function zoom_available return boolean is
form_name varchar2(30) := name_in('system.current_form');
begin
if (form_name = 'POXPOEPO' ) then
return TRUE;
end if;
return FALSE;
end zoom_available;
Execute
Custom ( package body )
Go to vent procedure and write the following code
if (event_name = 'ZOOM') then
if (form_name = 'POXPOEPO' ) then
fnd_function.execute(FUNCTION_NAME=>'PO_POXPOEPO',
OPEN_FLAG=>'Y',

303
SESSION_FLAG=>'Y' );
end if;
end if;
Note: When we are copying the custom.PLL in to the Resource folder
we have to close the application because If application is opened CUSTOM.pll being used , All the forms in oracle
applications developed with TEMPLETE.fmb contains CUSTOM.pll
If file is being used by other program we can not Update the file. thats why we will close the application.
When we are working in the project all the Users will be connected to
Oracle apps we can not ask every one to close the application. for that we will get the Alternative Path(Link File Path),
which will be provided by DBA, we will place the CUSTOM.pll in that folder only we have to reLogin we can find
the Customization
Other users no need to Logout

XML Publisher
Oracle Reporting Tools are
1) SQL
2) PL/SQL
3) RDF
4) Discoverer
5) XML Publisher
6) BI Publisher
7) OBIEE
Other Reporting Tools are
Dataware Housing Tools
1) COGNOS
2) INFORMATICA
Microsoft SQL Server MS-BI
Oracle Reporting Tools
SQL : Using SQL we can generate report in a ASCII format.
We can not in a GUI format.
Images can not be displayed as it is ASCII output
SELECT statement is used to generate the report
PL/SQL : Using SQL we can generate report in a ASCII format.
We can not in a GUI format.
Images can not be displayed as it is ASCII output
Cursors are used to generate the report.
RDF : We can display out put in GUI format.
Images can also be displayed.

305
We can not display the output at a time in multiple formats such as PDF, HTML, TEXT, EXCEL
Layout designing is very complicated.
Discoverer :- Older one . it is not being used with current version Oracle Apps.
XML Publisher : It is a mostly used one in the current version of Oracle Apps.
It is an extension to RDF.
Easy to design the layout
BI Publisher and OBIEE:
It is an extension to XML Publisher.
XML is used to develop the reports.
Working with XML Publisher
Softwares used in XML Publisher
1) MS-WORD 2) MS-Excel
3) PDF
4) RDF
Features of XML Publisher

1) Good Look and Feel
2) Easy to design Layout Designing
3) Layout can be designed in a short time
4) Multiple Outputs Can be Generated
5) Sending Report as E-Mail is a Dynamic.
6) Less development time.
7) Platform Independent
platforms such as Reports-6i, Discoverer, OBIEE and any one which can generate the XML files )
8) Tool Independent ( MS-Word, MS-Excel, PDF )
9) XML Bursting Can handle E-Mail, FAX and FTP
FTP through FTP Report can be sent to Server, that can be viewed by multiple users
10) Language Translation
English text into local language by using XLIFF technology
Just Mapping between English and local language. It will done at the on site by the language
translator
in Oracle reports there is a option called CLSF ( Customer Language Specific Format ) to

306
generate the language specific report.

Disadvantages :
XML Coding required.
Development of Simple Report :
Eg :
Empno
Ename
Sal
Deptno
TOTAL : 14
Steps :
1) Data Model Query
SELECT EMPNO, ENAME, SAL, DEPTNO FROM EMP
Take a Summary Column for TOTAL
Properties :
Name : TOTAL
Function : count
Source :
EMPNO
After Development of the above

Generate the XML file
File Generate to File XML
Supply the name of the file with extension .xml
2) Design the Layout Using MS-Word
It Can be designed in two ways
1) Automatically
2) Manually
1) Automatically
Open MS-WORD
Check for the Template Builder ( when the XML Publisher is installed this Option will be Enabled
Automatically.
Check for the Template Builder Tool Bar
View Tools Bars Template Builder ( Enable )
When it is Enabled it shows the following Tools on the Tool Bar

6) Place Headers on the First Row ( Select Row, Make them Bold and Rt.Click Center Align )
7) Insert the Fields on by one into Columns in the Second Row
View Tool Bars Enable the Form
Place the cursor inside the Column Select text ( ab | )
Double Click on Filed
Default Text : as desired
Add Help Text : <? FIELD-NAME ?>
FIELD-NAME Can be Obtained from the .rdf report or from the XML file.
From the .rdf :
Go to properties of the field and take XML Tag
8) Repeat the Same for Remaining Fields
9) Insert the Group to get All records in a group ( use for loop )
Place for loop Beg before the first field and place for loop end after the last filed.
Beginning <?for-each:Group-Name?>
Eg: <?for-each:G_EMPNO ?>
Ending
<?end for-each:Group-Name?> or <?end for-each?>

Group-Name is an Optional

INTERFACES
Interface is a Connector or Bridge between two Applications.
It is used to transfer data from Legacy Applications to Oracle Application and vice-versa
Legacy Systems could be SAP, Main Frame, SIEBEL, JD Edwerds, BANN, People Soft
Interface is one of the Program which is used to transfer the data from Oracle
database tables in to flat file (or)
Flat files
into Database tables
There are two types of Interfaces.

1)Inbound Interface
2)Outbound Interface
Inbound Interface :
Inbound Interface is used to upload the data from legacy system (Flat files) into Oracle Applications base tables.
If it is Only one time of time data transfer, then it is called Conversion / Migration
If it is Multiple times of data transfer ( i.e every day / week / month ), then it is inbound interface
Outbound Interface:
Outbound Interface is used to extract the data from oracle Database tables into the flat files.
While developing the outbound Interface we use UTL_File to Extract the data.
While Developing the Inbound interface we use SQL * loader to import the data
into base tables.
UTL_FILE Package :
==================
This is One of the PL/SQL Package which will be used to transfer the data from table to files and
from files to tables
But when we are transferring data from file to table SQL *Loader can also be used. It is recommended.
To transfer from table to file we dont have alternative, we have to use only UTL_FILE.

315
We 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) Register the Procedure or Package as Concurrent Program and submit from SRS Window.
1)Develop the PL/SQL Program (Either Procedure or Package) with the following statements
1)Write the Cursor to retrieve the data from database tables.
2)Create file or Open the File by using UTL_File.fopen().
3)Open the Cursor
4)If any validations are there write the validations
5)Transfer the Data into File by using UTL_File.Put_Line().
6)Close the Cursor.
7)Close the File by using UTL_File.fclose();
Eg :
create or replace procedure test_proc (errbuf out varchar2,
retcode out varchar2) as
cursor c1 is select vendor_id,
segment1,
vendor_name
from po_vendors;
l_po number(9);
l_inv number(9);
l_sites number(9);
l_id utl_file.file_type ;
l_timeStamp varchar2(15);
begin
select to_char(sysdate, 'dd-MON-yyyy') into l_timeStamp from dual;

316
l_id:= utl_file.fopen('D:\oracle\visdb\9.2.0\plsql\temp', l_timeStamp ||'.txt', 'w');

for
x1 in c1 loop
select count(*)
into l_po
from po_headers_all
where vendor_id=x1.vendor_id;
select count(*)
into l_inv
from ap_invoices_all
select count(*)
into l_sites
from po_vendor_sites_all
utl_file.put_line( l_id, x1.segment1 || '#' || x1.vendor_name || '#' || l_po || '#' || l_inv ||'#' || l_sites );
end loop;
utl_file.fclose(l_id);
end ;
/
2)Register the Procedure or Package as Concurrent Program and submit from SRS Window.
3) go to D:\oracle\visdb\9.2.0\plsql\temp' and check the data in the file called : 13-APR-2001.txt
4) Opening with excel
Start excel file open brows for D:\oracle\visdb\9.2.0\plsql\temp and open 13-APR-2001.txt file
Select delimiter next Others specify ( # ) next finish.
One more example

INBOUND INTERFACE
It is process, which will be used load the data from Flat file to Oracle Apps base table.
It is process of Loading data form legacy systems ( other applications : flat files) into oracle applications
It can be in methods
1) Using SQL * LOADER ( recommended )
2) UTL FILE Package
3) Data Loader ( External / Third party tool )
Data Loader : in this Source file will be mapped to table columns.
Steps involved in the Inbound Interface :
Flat File
Bad file/ discard file
SQL * LOADER ( .ctl file )
Staging Table
Error Tables
PL/SQL Program ( Procedure / Package )
Interface Tables
Error tables/ Columns/Reports
Standard Program
Base Tables
Staging table : It is a temporary table create by the user. It is called as pre-interface table

322
Purpose of staging table if flat file structure is not similar to the base table, then we need create a table, which is
similar to the structure of the Flat File, called as staging table.
Eg :
Flat file with the following data
Empno, ename, deptno, hiredate, sal
Table with the following columns
Empno, ename, deptno, hiredate, sal, Comm, Tax
Here comm and tax columns may be conditional data columns
Eg :
if sal < 2000 Comm = 250

if sal
2000 to 5000 Comm = 450
if sal
5000 to 10000 comm = 600
if sal > 10000
comm. = 800
=========================
if sal < 2000 Tax = NIL
if sal
2000 to 5000 Tax = 12% of Sal
if sal
5000 to 10000 Tax = 15% of Sal
if sal > 10000
Tax = 20% of Sal
The control file can not be developed with the controlling statement as above. Hence we can not use directly control file
to transfer data from Flat file to oracle applications base table
Inter face table : It is a built-in table need not to create by the users. Here data will be stored temporarily. Hence it is
called as temporary table. This table is used to store valid data temporarily.
SQL * Loader :
It is used to load the from Flat file to staging table by using control file
PL/SQL procedure : It is used to read the data form the staging table and validate then insert into the interface table.
Standard Program :
It performs the post validation such validating users

( i.e whether the using is the correct user or not .)
After performing validation it loads the data into the base tables
In the above Interface table, Standard program , base tables and error table/ columns / reports are built-in need not to
develop by the user.
To develop the In-bound interface the following four actions are required
1) Staging table Creation
2) Develop the SQL * LOADER program and register

323
3) Develop the PL/SQL procedure and register

4) Submit standard program
SQL * LOADER
It is one of the oracle tools and it is used to load the data from flat file to oracle base table. It is used in the development
of Interfaces (
I ) and conversions ( C ) of
the RICE components
There are five types of files are used with SQL * LOADER.
1) Data file 2) Control File 3) Discard File 4) Bad File 5) Log File
1) Data File or Flat file :
File contains data in a specific format as per the requirement of the client. It will be received from the client.
Extension is( .dat , .txt, .csv) .csv is an excel file csv common separated value. If data is available in excel file with
extension .xls then save it as .cvs file before going to load into database table. Mostly data in the form of excel files.
2) Control file : It is SQL * LOADER program. It provides syntax to load the data form flat file to database table.
This file has to be developed and executed by the Technical Consultant. It will be developed in the
notepad and saved with extension ( .ctl )
3) Bad File : It will be generated automatically by the SQL * LOADER. Bad file contains the records, which are
rejected by the SQL * LOADER
SQL * LOADER rejects the records in the following scenario
1) Any Data Type mismatch, 2) No. of fields mismatched 3) Internal Errors, 3) Data file Format
problem . Extension of this file is ( .bad )
4)Discard File: It will be generated automatically by the SQL * LOADER. It contains the records, which are rejected
by the Control file. Control file rejects the record, when the record is not as per the specified format in
the Control file. Discard File Extension is ( .dis)
5)Log File : It contains the Log information like Program Time of start, Time of end, No of records, which are
successfully uploaded into the database table. Rejected Records which are sent to the Bad file and
Discard file. Error Message during the execution of Control file. Extension is ( .log )

324
Steps in loading the flat file data into the database table
1) Received the flat file form the client and check the file format.
2) Identify the data base table name and database
3) Develop the control file using notepad and save it.
Syntax to develop the control file.
LOAD DATA
INFILE Data File Path with file name
INSERT INTO TABLE
<Table Name>
FIELDS TERMINATED by ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY ' " '

TRAILING NULLCOLS
(Column1
column2
column3
,......)
Order of the columns in the flat file

Eg1:
Data file Path ( C:\ MyUser\User10\emp.txt )
Data format order Empno, empname, salary, comm, deptno
1001, Smith, 5600, 300, 20
1002, Allen, 4500, , 10
1003, Ramu, 7600, , 30
1004, Krishna, 5400,, 40
Table into which data to be transferred
create table MyEmp ( empno number (10), ename varchar2(20), salary number(10), deptno number(10) )
Control file
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'C:\MNRAO\emp.txt'
INSERT INTO TABLE MyEmp
FIELDS TERMINATED by ','
(empno, ename, salary, comm, deptno )
Save as control file ( eg : C:\user\EmpLoader.ctl )

325
4) Go to Command Prompt where the SQL * Loader is Installed. ( start run cmd )
D:Oracle\Proddb\8.1.7\bin\ SQLLDR Username/Password@PROD
Control = Control file Path.
D:Oracle\vis\9.2.0\bin > SQLLDR scott/tiger@vis
Control = C:\user\EmpLoader.ctl
Eg2: if data is available in the format ( empno, ename, deptno, salary, comm.)
1001,Smith,20,5600,300
1002,Allen,10,4500,,
1003,Ramu,30,7600,350
1004,Krishna,40,5400,,
Then write control file as below
LOAD DATA
INSERT INTO TABLE MyEmp
(empno, ename, deptno, salary, comm )
Appending records to database table
LOAD DATA
APPEND INTO TABLE MyEmp1
( empno, ename, salary, comm, deptno )
Truncate table and insert records into table
LOAD DATA
TRUNCATE INTO TABLE MyEmp1
( empno,ename,salary,comm,deptno )

326
INSERT database table should be empty

APPEND table may be with record or empty
TRUNCATE it will delete the existing records and inserts the new records into the database table
SQL LODER options
D:\oracle\visdb\9.2.0\bin> SQLLDR scott/tiger@vis - LOAD n
-LOAD n To load first n No.of records of flat file into database table
-SKIP n to skip first n No. of records of flat file and to load the remaining records of flat file to the end.
-SKIP n -LOAD n to skip first n No.of records of flat file and load the next n No.of records of flat file into
the database table
D:\oracle\visdb\9.2.0\bin> SQLLDR scott/tiger@vis -SKIP n -LOAD n
-ROWS n for every n No.of records commit
FILLER to ignore the columns of the table ( it will be empty )
LOAD DATA
TRUNCATE INTO TABLE MyEmp1
( empno, ename, salary, comm FILLER, deptno )
METHOD Method loading the data
These are of two types
3) Conventional consider all constraints and inserts the records into the table. It is a default
4) Direct No constraints will be effective ( it is a faster )
D:\oracle\visdb\9.2.0\bin> SQLLDR scott/tiger@vis DIRECT=true
Note : for DIRECT need not to precede with symbol
- (hyphen)
Imp Note : if file has been received in the excel file format with extension ( .xlc ), then save the file with
extension (.cvs ) . The filed separator will be comma ( , ) ( default )
Loading data with default values
Eg:
create table EMP_DEFAULT( empno number(10),
ename varchar(50),

327
jdate date,
sal number(10),
comm number(10),
location varchar(50),
deptno number(10))
Test it
select * from EMP_DEFAULT

Leave space for the first filed (empno) as it is being generated automatically by using sequence.
Note : in the above UPPER, DECODE are the sql functions. We can use all built-in SQL functions but we can not use
the user defined functions.
3) go to command prompt and SQL * Loader
LOG file and BAD file
The log file will be generated automatically in the ORACLE bin directory. It will be generated by the name of control

1) Conversion is one-Time Data Transfer
Regularly every week or month or day

2) Client may be using Legacy system and also Oracle
Applications
2) Client will use Only Oracle Applications. once data has

been uploaded from legacy then legacy system will be
closed.
3) We will not be knowing the Data file volume.
3) Here we will be knowing the data file volume exactly.
4) Interface we will be used in Customization and as well
4) conversions will be used in the Implementation Projects
as implementation Projects.
5) Interface will be used to load the current data.
