OA Framework Tutorial 01

After having received some requests from Oracle EBS newbies, I have decided to do some video tutorials to
explain how screens can be built in OA Framework. For this purpose, I will build a simple case study[Person
Maintenance Screen].
To begin with, I will create a simple page in OA Framework, and in following sessions, I will add additional
Functionality[creation/changes] to the same page.

Welcome to the first Audio-Video tutorial in this series.

Objective :- To create a working page in OA Framework, without writing a single line of code in java.

Step 1 Create a table and insert sample data[3 records] for this demo.

Run script xxoafdemo01.sql from this link and create an OA Workspace and an OA Project.

Click here for Audio Video Link for Step 1

The above Step 1 will do the below:-

1. Creates a table named xx_person_details to capture Person Details

2. Create a API to help insert records in this table

3. Inserts three records into table xx_person_details

4. In jDeveloper, create an OA Workspace and default Project for this OA Framework tutorial

create table xx_person_details

(
 PERSON_ID        NUMBER NOT NULL
,FIRST_NAME       VARCHAR2(50)
,LAST_NAME        VARCHAR2(50)
,EMAIL            VARCHAR2(100)
,student_flag     VARCHAR2(1)
,name_of_university VARCHAR2(100)
,last_update_date DATE
,last_update_login INTEGER
,last_updated_by INTEGER
,creation_date DATE
,created_by INTEGER
);

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE xx_insert_person_prc(p_person_rec IN OUT xx_person_details

%ROWTYPE) IS
BEGIN
  SELECT per_people_s.NEXTVAL
  INTO p_person_rec.person_id
  FROM dual;
  p_person_rec.last_update_date  := SYSDATE;
  p_person_rec.creation_date     := SYSDATE;
  p_person_rec.last_update_login := -1;
  p_person_rec.last_updated_by   := 71690;
  p_person_rec.created_by        := 71690;
  INSERT INTO xx_person_details
  VALUES p_person_rec;
END xx_insert_person_prc;
/
DECLARE
  l_person_rec xx_person_details%ROWTYPE;
BEGIN
  l_person_rec.first_name   := 'Anil';
  l_person_rec.last_name    := 'Passi';
  l_person_rec.email        := 'passi.anil@gmail.com';
  l_person_rec.student_flag := 'N';
  xx_insert_person_prc(l_person_rec);
  l_person_rec.first_name := 'Tom';
  l_person_rec.last_name  := 'Kumar';
  l_person_rec.email      := 'tom.kumar@gmail.com';
  xx_insert_person_prc(l_person_rec);
  l_person_rec.first_name := 'Mark';
  l_person_rec.last_name  := 'Kapoor';
  l_person_rec.email      := 'tom.kumar@gmail.com';
  xx_insert_person_prc(l_person_rec);
  commit;
END;
/

SELECT count(*)
FROM xx_person_details ;

commit;

New Project

Create OA Workspace..
File Name : OAFsem13.jws ( Workspace name )

File Name : OAFsem13.jpr ( Project name )

Default Package : tutorial13.oracle.apps.ak.xxperson13

-Next
-Next

DBC File Name : test40.dbc

User Name : ax07926

Password : erptest
Application Short Name : XXRM

Responsibility Key : XXRM_R1_YEDEK_PARCA

-OK

Step 2 Create the required BC4J and java packages for this OA Framework Screen

This step will create

xxPersonDetailsEO                  [ Entity Object ]

xxPersonDetailsVO                  [ View Object ]
xxPersonAM                            [ Application Module ]

Relation between view Object and AM, in effect creating an instance of the View Object.
Name of this view Object instance will be xxPersonDetailsVO1
