- for registering a table - - AD_DD BPI doesn

t check for the existence of the registered table or column in the data base schema, butonly updates the required SQL tables. - It should be ensured that, all the tables and columns registered exist actually and have the same format asthat defined using AD_DD API. - Views need not be registered. 25. How to write to a file through concurrent program. * By using FND_FILE package and it can be used only for log and output files. 1. FND_FILE.PUT - this is used to write text to a file with out a new line character - Multilane calls to FND_FILE.PUT will produce consummated text. Procedure FND_FILE.PUT (which IN Number, Buff IN varchar2); - can be FND_FILE.LOG or FND_FILE.OUTPUT. 2. FND_FILE.PUT_LINE11


11/79

- this procedure as used to write a line of text to a file followed by a new line character. Procedure FND_FILE.PUT_LINE (which IN number, buff IN varchar2); EX:- FND_FILE.PUT_LINE( FND_FILE.LOG, find_message_get); 3. FND_FILE.NEW_LINE - this procedure is used to write line terminators to a file procedure FND_FILE.NEW_LINE (which IN number LINES IN NATURAL:=1);

Ex:- to write two newline characters to a log file Fnd_file.new_line (fnd_file.log,2); 4. FND_FILE.PUT_NAMES - this procedure as used to set the temporary log file and output filenames and the temporary directory tothe user specified values. - This should be called before calling my other FND_FILE procedure and only once per a session. 26)Function FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST ( application in varchar2 default null, program in varchar2 default null, description in varchar2 default null, start-time in varchar2 default null, sub_request in bookan default False, argument1, arguemnt2, argument 100) return number; * If this is submitted from oracle forms, all the arguments ( 1 to 100 ) must be specified. 12


12/79

27. How to submit concurrent programs through OS? - From the operating system the utility .CONCSUB is used to submit is concurrent propgram. - This is basically used to test a concurrent program . - By using the WAIT token. The utility checks the request status every 60 seconds and returns the OSprompt upon completion of the request. - Concurrent manager doesnot abort, shutdown or start up until the concurrent request completes.

* If the concurrent program is compatible with it self, it can be checked for data integrity and dead locks bysubmitting it many times so that it runs concurrently with it self. *PL/SQL procedures can submit a request to run a program as a concurrent process by calling. FND_REQUEST. SUBMIT_REQUEST. * Before submitting a request, the following functions also should be called optionally. FND_REQUEST.SET_OPTIONS FND_REQUEST.SET_REPEAT_OPTIONS FND_REQUEST.SET_PRINT_OPTIONS FND_REQUEST.SET_MODE 28. How to checks the request states? - A PL/SQL procedure can check the status of a concurrent request by calling. FND_CONCURENT.GET_REQUEST_STATUS FND_CONCURRENT.WAIT_FOR_REQUEST - FND_CONCURRENT.GET_REQUEST_STATUS - This function returns the status of a concurrent request - If the request is already computed, it also returns the completion message. - This function returns both user friendly (translatable) phase and status values as well as developer phaseand status vales that can drive program logic. 13


13/79

( request_id in out number, application in varchar2 default null, program in varchar2 default null, phase out varchar2, status out varchar, dev_phase out varchar2,

dev_status out varchar2, message out varchar2) return BOOLEAN; - when application and program are specified, the request_id of the last request for the specified programshould be returned to request_id. - Phase, and status values should be taken from FND_LOOKUPS dev_phase dev_status pending normal, standby, scheduled, paused running normal, waiting, resuming, terminating. Complete normal, Error, warning, cancelled, terminated Inactive disabled, on-hold, No-manager, supended - FND_REQUEST.WAIT_FOR_REQUEST - This function waits for request completion, then returns the request phase/status and completion messageto the caller. - Goes to sleep between checks for request completion. Syntax ( request_id in number default null, interval in number default 60, max_wait in numbe default 0, 14


14/79

phase out varchar2, status out varchar2, dev_phase out varchar2, dev_status out varchar2, message out varchar2) return BOOLEN; * FND_CONCURRENT.SET_COMPLETION_STATUS

- this function should be called from a concurrent program to set its completion states. - This function returns TRUE on success, other wise FALSE. ENT.SET_COMPLETION_STATUS ( status in varchar2, message in varchar2) return BOOLEAN; normal status warning Error 29. What is the reason for not getting any data when a multi org view is quired? - to get the data correctly, the xxx-ALL must be referenced and the ORG_ID value should be specified toextract portioned data. - Multiorg views are partitioned by using ORG_ID. - So access through multiorg views will not return any roes, as the CLIENT_INFO Value is not set - Use HR_OPERATING UNITS to identify the organization _id of the OU on which query is based. - Use FND_CLIENT_INFO package to set the value in CLIENT INPO using set_org_contest. - Execute fnd_client_info. Set_org_context (

); - Now qurying of multiorg views can be done. 15


15/79

30. How do you find that muliorg is installed? - multi organization architecture is meant to allow muliple companies or subsidiaries to store their records

with in a single data base. - Multiple organization Architecture allows this by partitioning data through views in APPS schema. - Implementation of Multi org generally includes more than one business group. * To know whether multiorg is existing or not

select multi_org_flag form fnd_product_groups) - if the result is Y

means the database is group for multiorg 31. what are Handlers? * Handler is a group of packaged procedures which is used by Oracle Applications to organize . PL/SQL codein forms. - Handlers provide a way to centralize the code so that it becomes easier to develop, maintain and debug. - The packaged procedures available in a handler are called form the triggers by passing the name of thetrigger as an argument for the procedure to process. * Handlers are types :- 1) Item Handlers 2) Event Handlers 3) Table Handlers 4) Business Rules - Handlers reside in program units in the form or in stored packed in the database. 32)Adding Table handler Logic Coding logic for window and alternative region control. Adding fin-windows and/or ROW-LOV

S and enable query-find. Coding logic for item relations such as dependent fields. Coding messages to use message dictionary. 16


16/79

Adding FF logic if required. Adding choices to the special mence and logic to modify choices the default menu and tool bar behavior isnecessary. Coding any other logic. Creating a form function for the developed form and registering any sub functions. Testing the form by it self.

Registering the form with AOL. Adding the form function to a menu or creating custom mence. Assigning the menu to the responsibility and assigning the responsibility to the user. Testing the form within Oracle Applications. 33)Registering of Application, form and a concurrent program through Application developer Responsibility Application:- oper Form:- Menu:- Messages:- Table:- Sequence:- Concurrent Programme:- 17

Lexical references cannot be made in Pl/SQL statements. Bind references can be done in a PL/SQL statements. Lexical parameters can be referenced by entering an ampusand ( ) followed immediately by the columnname or parameter. Before creating the query, a column or parameter in the data model should be created for each lexicalreference in the query.

For lexical parameters, initial value must be defined so that report builder uses this value to validate thequery with a lexical reference. Token If Oracle reports are executed by a concurrent program, (for Oracle Reports Program), then a keyword or aparameter with the same name as in the report builder, should be defined which for each parameter, whichis known as taken. This is used to pass the parameters to the reports from the application (SRS Window) Request Set Request set is the group of requests, that can be submitted regularly using a single transaction. Incompatibility These are the list of programs that can be defined as incompatible with a pertain program. If any program is defined as incompatible to a particular program, then that program should not runsimultaneously with the concurrent program, because they might interfere with its execution.

* Each responsibility allows access to - a specific application or a set of applications. - A set of books - A restricted list of windows that an user can navigate - Reports in a specific application. 36. What are security Attributes?

- Security Attributes are used by Oracle self service web Applications to allow rows of data to be visible tospecified users responsibilities based on the specific data contained in the row. 37. What is a Profile Option? - profile options are the set of changeable options that affects how the application looks and behaves. - By setting profile options, the applications can be made to react in different ways for different usersdepending on the specific user attributes. 38. What are steps involved in developing a flex field? - designing the table structure - creating fields on the form (Visible/Hidden) - calling appropriate routines - registration of the flex field. - Definition of the flex field. 39.

25/79

3 MASTER CONCURRENT MANAGERS: 1.Internal Conccurent Manager (ICM): This is the one which monitors all other CMs 2. Standard Manager (SM) : This takes care of report running and batch jobs 3. Conflict Resolution Manager (CRM): checks concurrent program definitions for incompatability checks.

We cannot delete a concurrent manager... but we can disable it... but it's notrecommended. 43) multi org set up

Begin dbms_application_info.set_client_info('ORG_ID'); end; 44. What is the relation between Responsibility, Menu and Request Group? Responsibility: - A responsibility is a set of authority in Oracle Apps that lets users access only thatfunctionality of the application appropriate to their roles. Menu: - A menu is a hierarchical arrangement of functions and menus of functions that appears in theNavigator. Each responsibility has a menu assigned to it. Request Group : - it is a collection of reports or concurrent programs. A system Administrator defines reportgroups in order to control user access to reports and concurrent programs. Only a system administrator cancreate a request group. 45. What is a function, how to create one? A function is apart of an application

s functionality that is registered under a unique name for the purposeof assigning to it to, or excluding it from, a menu (and by extension, responsibility). There are several typesof functions: - Form Functions, SubFunctions, and Non-form functions. We often refer to a form function simply as a form. 46. What is meant by APPL_TOP? Environment variable An operating System variable that describes an aspect of the environment in which your application runs.For example, you can define an environment variable to specify a directory path. 26


26/79

$APPL_TOP: An environment variable that denotes the installation directory for Oracle Application ObjectLibrary and your other Oracle applications. $APPL_TOP is usually one directory level above each of theproduct directories (which are often referred to as $PROD_TOP or $PRODUCT_TOP or $_TOP). 47. Explain briefly where are the Custom.pll, Forms, Reports, Sql Loader Control files, Shell Script sourcecode and executables files kept? Custom.pll - $AU_TOP/resource

Forms - $PROD_TOP/Forms/US Reports - $PROD_TOP/Reports/US SQL Control Files - $PROD_TOP/Bin Shell Scripts - $PROD_TOP/Bin 48. When is Custom.pll used? Custom.pll is used while making new or customizing standard oraclke forms in apps. It contains all theforms libraries for apps. 49. What are profile options; at what levels can these be set? A user profile is a set of changeable options that affects the way the applications run. Oracle Applications object Library establishes a value for each option in a user

s profile when the User logs on or changes responsibility. System Profile: - Profile option can be set for the user community. User Profile: - Provide Oracle Apps with standard information which describes a user, Application, Responsibility and site. At each profile level user profile options can be set. 50. How can you know the form (fmb) name when you open a form in Apps? Help 51. Where do you create a table and sequence in Apps? Is it APPS schema? In custom schema and then grant privileges on it to APPS schema. 52. Where are Views and Procedures created? 27


27/79

Views: - Views are to be created only in APPS. Procedures: - In custom schema and the grant it to APPS schema. 53. How can you tell who last updated a particular row in a form? 54. You have logged onto a Responsibility, how do you know what operating unit are you on? 55) Can new profiles be created? If so how?

Yes. Application Developer.

56)How do you register a report? Explain passing of parameters between a concurrent program Definition and report? After developing the report (.rdf), FTP it to the UNIX server. Define executable. Define concurrent program and attach the executable. Attach the concurrent program to a request group. 57) What is the approach to create a new form to be used in Oracle Apps? The TEMPLATE form is the required starting point of all development of new forms. Start Developing each new form by copying the TEMPLATE.fmb file, located in $AU_TOP/forms/US(or your language and platform equivalent), to local directory and Rename it as appropriate. 58. Explain Value Set? Difference between a Table Validated and Independent Value Set? A set of values against which Oracle Application Object Library validates values your end users enter when running your program. You define your value set by specifying validation 28


28/79

rules, format constraints and other properties. For example, you could define a value set to contain values that are character strings, validated from a table in your application. You can Specify that oracle application Object Library use the same value set to validate different Report parameters. You can also use value sets that you use in your flex fields to validate

Your report parameters. 59. How do you create a table validated value set dependent on another value set?

Use :$FLEX$. in the where condition. 60. What is difference between a concurrent request and a concurrent request set? 61. What are the two mandatory parameters required for running a PL/SQL Procedure based concurrentprogram? Errbuf, Retcode 62. How can you ensure that only one instance of a concurrent program runs? Check the Run Alone

check box in Concurrent program registration window. 63. Within a PL/SQL procedure which API is to be used to extract a profile value? FND_PROFILE.GET 64. How do you set the operating unit context in a report? Begin Dbms_application_info.set-client-info(); End; 65. Can you submit a concurrent request from the operating system directly?

Write a Shellscript. Login to database Run the function FND_REQUEST.Submit() 66. Explain how to generate a trace file for a pl/sql concurrent program for tuning? Check the

Enable Trace

check box in concurrent program registration window. 29


29/79

67. How do you write to the concurrent request Log and Output file? FND_FILE.PUT(FND_FILE.LOG or FND_FILE.OUTPUT, ); 68. What is the difference between Operating Unit and Inventory Organization? Operating Unit :- An Organization that uses Oracle Cash management, Order management and ShippingExecution, Oracle Payables, Oracle Purchasing, and Oracle Receivables. It may be a sales Office, a division, ora dept. 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, youchoose a responsibility associated with an organization classified as an operating unit. An organization for which you track inventory transactions and balances, and/or an organization thatmanufactures or distributes products. Examples, include (but are not limited to) manufacturing plants,

warehouses, distribution centers, and sales offices. The following applications secure information byinventory organization: Oracle inventory, Bills of Material, Engineering, and Work in Process, MasterScheduling/MRP, Capacity, and Purchasing receiving functions. To run any of these applications, you mustchoose an organization that has been classified as an inventory organization. 69. What is Set of Books? 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 andbalances) by set of books. When you use Oracle General Ledger, you choose a responsibility that specifies aset of books. You then see information for that set of books only. 70. What is Item Validation Organization? The organization that contains your master list of items. You define it by setting the OM: Item ValidationOrganization parameter. You must define all items and bills in your Item Validation Organization, but youalso need to maintain your items and bills in separate organizations if you want to ship them from other

warehouses. OE_System_ 71. Mention the table or views where Inventory Org, Items, Set of Books, GL Code Combinations, OperatingUnit, Location, Customers, Vendors, and Invoices are stored in Apps. Inventory Org: - MTL_PARAMETERS/ORG_ORGANIZATION_DEFINITIONS Items: - MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_B Set of Books: - GL_SETS_OF_BOOKS30


30/79

GL Code Combinations: - GL_CODE_COMBINATIONS Operating Unit: - HR_ALL_OPERATING_UNITS Location: - MTL_ITEM_LOCATIONS Customers: - RA_CUSTOMERS

Vendors: - PO_VENDOR_CONTACTS Invoices: - AP_INVOICES_ALL

72. What is the profile to be read to find out what Inventory Organization and Operating Unit are you on? (mfg_organization_id is the Inventory Org) 73)What is Inventory Master Organization? Items are defined in an Inventory Master Organization. 74)What is the difference between key flexfield and Descriptive flexfield? Key Flexfield is used to describe unique identifiers that will have a better meaning than using number IDs.e.g a part number, a cost centre etc Desc Flex is used to just capture extra information. Key Flexfields havequalifiers whereas Desc Flexfields do not. Desc Flexfields can have context sensitive segments while Keyflexfields cannot. And one more differenct that KFF displays like text item but DFF displays like [ ] . 75)Which procedure should be called to enable a DFF in a form? FND_DESCR_FLEX.DEFINE (BLOCK => 'BLOCK_NAME' ,FIELD => 'FORM_FIELD_NAME' ,APPL_SHORT_NA=> 'APP_NAME' ,DESC_FLEX_NAME => 'DFF_NAME' ); 76)Which procedure should be used to make the DFF read only at run time? FND_DESCR_FLEX.UPDATE_DEFINITION() 77)What is the difference between flexfield qualifier and segment qualifier? 31


31/79

Flexfiled qualifier identifies segement in a flexfield and segment qualifier identifies value in a segment. There are four types of flexfiled qualifier 1) Balancing segment qualifier 2) cost center 3) natural account and4) intercompnay segemtn qualifier :- 1) allow budgeting 2) allow posting 3) account type 4) contral account and 5)reconciliation flag 78)Where do concurrent request logfiles and output files go?

The concurrent manager first looks for the environment variable $APPLCSF If this is set, it creates a pathusing two other environment variables: $APPLLOG and $APPLOUT It places log files in$APPLCSF/$APPLLOG Output files go in $APPLCSF/$APPLOUT So for example, if you have this environmentset: $APPLCSF = /u01/appl/common $APPLLOG = log $APPLOUT = out The concurrent manager will placelog files in /u01/appl/common/log, and output files in /u01/appl/common/out Note that $APPLCSF must be afull, absolute path, and the other two are directory names. If $APPLCSF is not set, it places the files underthe product top of the application associated with the request. So for example, a PO report would go under$PO_TOP/$APPLLOG and $PO_TOP/$APPLOUT Logfiles go to: /u01/appl/po/9.0/log Output files to:/u01/appl/po/9.0/out Of course, all these directories must exist and have the correct permissions. Note that allconcurrent requests produce a log file, but not necessarily an output file. 79)How do I check if Multi-org is installed?

BEGIN x:=fnd_profile.value('org_id'); fnd_client_info.set_org_context (204); END; Compile and run the query once again. 97) What is Responsibility / Request Group?

Ans: Responsibility is used for security reason like which Responsibility can do what type of jobs etc. Set of Responsibility is attached with a Request group. When we attach the request group to a concurrentprogram, that can be perform using all the Responsibilities those are attached with Request group. 98) What is DFF? Ans: The Descriptive Flexi field is a field that we can customize to enter additional information for whichOracle Apps product has not provided a field. Ex. ATP program calculates for those warehouses where Inventory Org Type is DC or Warehouse in DFFAttribute11 of MTL_PARAMETERS table. 99) What is Value Set? Ans: Value Sets define and store the valid items of data, which may be entered into a field. Key Flexfields, Descriptive Flexfields and many standard fields use Value Sets. Oracle already comes with hundreds of Value Sets.

We define additional Value Sets to support our own user-defined Key and Descriptive Flexfields (although wemay use any existing standard Value Sets if they suit our purpose). In defining a new Value Set, we are defining the physical format of valid data, which can reside in that ValueSet. Data in a Value Set can be of several types: Independently loaded into a Value Set (through a standard form). Resident in a table (to which we direct the Value Set definition). There could be No Validation (any data can go into the field, but still subject to the formatting rules.) Dependent on the value of data in a preceding Independent segment (loaded through a standard form). Ex:For Supplies & Accessories CC in ATP, we define GEMS_GPO_ASSIGN_SET value set for the assignmentset associated with that OU. 100) What is multi-org? Ans: It is data security functionality in Oracle 10.6 and above. Applicable User responsibilities are created andattached to specific Operating Unit. User can access the data that belongs to the Operating unit they loginunder. 40

The benefit is it enables multiple operating units to use a single installation of various modules, whilekeeping transaction data separate and secure by operating unit. It has an effect on the following modules: Order Entry Receivable Payable

Purchasing Project Accounting 101) Can you explain the Organization structure? Ans: a) Business Unit / Group : It represents the highest level in Organization structure and has no accountingimpact. It determines which employees will be available to Set Of Books and Operating Units. Ex:Consolidated Enterprise / a major division / an operating company. b) Set Of Books: It is a FINANCIAL reporting entity that uses a particular Chart of accounts, Functional CURRENCY and Accounting calendar. It is the highest level with accounting significance. Document Sequencing (important in Europe) is at the Setof Books level. Also Period open/close is at the Set of Books level. A Set of Books is associated with only one Business Group. A Business Group may be assigned several Sets ofBooks i.e Multiple sets of books can share the same business group if they share the same business groupattributes. Base Table: apps.gl_sets_of_books c) Legal Entity: A legal company for which you prepare fiscal or tax reports. Each Legal Entity is associated with only one Set of Books. A Set of Books may have multiple Legal Entities. Base Table: apps.hr_legal_entities d) Operating Unit: An organization that uses oracle order management, cash management, shippingexecution, payables, purchasing and receivables. It may be a sales office, a division, or a department. Standard reports are at the Operating Unit level. An operating unit is associated with a legal entity. Base Table: apps.hr_operating_units e) Inventory Organization : An organization for which you track inventory transactions and balances, and/oran organization that manufactures or distributes products. An Operating Unit may have multiple Inventory Organizations. Ex:manufacturing plants, warehouses, distribution centers, and sales offices. 41

Ans: errbuf and Retcode (In case pl/sql store procedure) p_conc_request_id (In case Oracle Report, it is an user-parameter) 106)Why we use token field for Concurrent program? Ans: The Token is used as for binding purpose. The parameter value is passed to the .rdf/procedure throughthis token. The input (user) parameter value passes to the report / stored procedure after binding with thistoken. The concurrent program won

t get impact even the user parameter names get changed, but gotimpacted when the token name changed. 107) What are the mandatory parameters in concurrent programs? Ans: errbuf errcode. 108)Those are IN or OUT parameters. Ans: Out Parameters 109)What is Request group? Ans: Responsibility is used for security reason like which Responsibility can do what type of jobs etc. Set of Responsibility is attached with a Request group.

43/79

116) What is the basic requirement that we need to set before starting a form in Oracle Apps Ans: a) FTP the templet.fmb From $au_top/bin To Local m/c b) Rename the templet.fmb as User defined name c) Trigger Level Change: Pre_Form : app_window.set_window_position('BLK_ORG', 'FIRST_WINDOW'); -- 1st

Window Name

set_window_property('BLK_ORG',title,'Form name') -- 1st Window Name, caption Block Level Change: Rename Default_block Form Level Change: Property Panel > Navigation > First Navigation Data Block > (Set A Block Name) Program Unit Level: App_custom > (set the 1st window name) 118) What is the API we use to see the message from log file Ans:

When we use an API, it automatically stores the error message in a pl/sql table i.e creating a log of theerrors.

We can see those error messages thougt fnd_message_pub API 119)There is a check box called Use in SRS. What is its use SRS stands for Standard Request Submit. We can execute concurrent program by directly passingparameters. On checking this Use In SRS

check box, we can independently use the concurrent program. 120)Do you know Extension table? Ans: Unlike database table, it store outside the database like BFile (content store outside the DB but thelocation store in DB like pointer). It contains metadata only. So no DML operation (except SELECT, Groupby, Order By) can possible. 121)Why do we call FND SRWINIT from Before Report Trigger A. FND SRWINIT fetches concurrent request information and sets up the profile options. It must be includedif one is using any ORACLE APPLICATION OBJECT LIBRARY features in his report (such as concurrentprocessing) 122)Why do we call FND SRWEXIT from After Report Trigger A. FND SRWEXIT frees all the memory allocations done in other Oracle Applications user exits. It must beincluded if one is using any ORACLE APPLICATION OBJECT LIBRARY features in his report (such asconcurrent processing) 123) Why do we call FND FLEXSQL from the Before Report Trigger?

A. One need to pass the concatenated segment values from the underlying code combinations table to theuser exit so that it can display appropriate data and derive any description and values from switched valuesets as needed. One gets this information by calling the AOL user exit FND FLEXSQL from the before reportTrigger. 44


44/79

124. If u call the user exit FND FLEXSQL with MODE = WHERE from the efore Report Trigger. What willit do? A. This user exit populates a lexical parameter that you specify with the appropriate SQL fragment at runtime. You include this lexical parameter in the WHERE clause of the report query. This user exit is calledonce for each lexical to be changed. 125. If u call the user exit FND FLEXSQL with MODE = ORDER Y from the efore Report Trigger. What

will it do? A. This user Exit populates the lexical parameter that one specifies with the appropriate SQL fragment atrun time. One includes this lexical parameter in the ORDER BY clause of the report query. This user exit iscalled once for each lexical to be changed. 126. How can we display flexfield segment values, descriptions, and prompts on the report? A. Create a formula Column. Call the user exit FND FLEXIDVAL as the formula for this column. This userexit automatically fetches more complicated information such as descriptions and prompts so that one doesnot has to use complicated table joins to the flex field tables. 127. Name some options of the FND FLEXSQL user exit A CODE, APP_SHORT_NAME, OUTPUT, MODE, DISPLAY, SHOWDEPSEG, NUM or MULTINUM,TABLEALIAS, OPERATOR, OPERAND1, OPERAND2. 128. Describe CODE option of the FND FLEXSQL user exit A. Specify the flex field code for the report (for example, GL#, MCAT). 129. Describe the APP_SHORT_NAME option of the FND FLEXSQL user exit A. Specifies the short name of the application that owns the flex field (for example: SQLGL, INV) 130. Describe the OUTPUT option of the FND FLEXSQL user exit A. Specify the name of the lexical parameter to store the SQl fragment. One uses this lexical later in thereport when defining the SQL statement that selects the flexfield values. the datatype of this parametershould be character. 131. Describe the MODE option of the FND FLEXSQL user exit A. Specify the mode to use to generate the SQL fragment . valid mode are : SELECT: Retrieves all segments values in an internal (non- displayable format).

WHERE: Restrict the query by specifying constraints on flexfield columns. The fragment returned includesthe correct decode statement if one specifies MULTINUM. One must also specify an OPERATOR andOPERANDS. HAVING: Same calling procedures and functionality as WHERE. ORDER BY: Order required information by flexfield columns. The fragment Orders your flexfield columnsand separates them with a comma. The fragment returned includes the correct decode statement, onespecifies in MULTINUM. 132. Describe the DISPLAY option of the FND FLEXSQL user exit A. One uses the DISPLAY token with the MODE token . the DISPLAY parameter allows you to specifysegments that represent specified flexfield qualifiers or specified segments numbers , 45


45/79

where the segment numbers are the order in that the segments appear in the flexfield window, not thesegment number specified in the Define Key Segments form. Eg. If your MODE is SELECT and you specify DISPLAY = ALL then the SELECT statement includes all thesegments of the flexfield. . Similarly, if your MODE is WHERE and you specify DISPLAY = ALL, then your

WHERE clause includes all segments. 133. Describe the SHOWDEPSEG option of the FND FLEXSQL user exit

A. SHOWDEPSEG = N disables automatic addition of depended upon segments to the order criteria. Thedefault is Y. This token is valid only for MODE = ODER BY In FLEXSQL. 134. Describe the NUM option of the FND FLEXSQL user exit A. Specify the name or lexical or source column that contains the flexfield structure information. If theflexfield uses just one structure, specify NUM only and use a lexical parameter to hold the value. If theflexfield uses multiple structures, specify MULTINUM only and use a source column to hold the value. Thedefault value is 101. 135. Describe the TABLE ALIAS option of the FND FLEXSQL user exit A. You use TABLE ALIAS if your SELECT joins to other flexfield tables or uses a self join. 136. Describe the OPERATOR option of the FND FLEXSQL user exit A. Specify an operator to use in the WHERE clause. 137.Describe the OPERAND1 option of the FND FLEXSQL user exit A. Specify an operand to use in the WHERE clause, 138.Describe the OPERAND2 option of the FND FLEXSQL user exit A. Specify a second operand to use with OPERATOR = BETWEEN 139. Where is FND FLEXIDVAL user exit used A. Call this user exit to populate fields for display. You pass the key flex fields data retrieved by the queryinto this user exit from the formula column. With this exit you can display values, descriptions and promptsby passing appropriate token (any one of VALUE, DECRIPTION

AR_ADJUSTMENTS_ALL 164). Different Type of Value Sets. What is exactly Translatable independent and Translatable DependentValue Sets (Introduced in latest version of 11i). Ans:- There are 8 types of Values Sets. a. None (Non Validate at all) (Validation is Minimal) b. Independent (Input must exist on previous defined list of values)

c. Dependent (Input is checked against a subset of values based on prior Value) d. Table (Input is checked against a subset of values in an application table) e. Special (advanced) (Value set uses a flexfield itself) f. Pair (advanced) (Two Flexfields together specify a range of valid values) g. Translatable Independent (Input must exist on previous defined list of values. Translated value can beused) h. Translatable Dependent. (Input is checked against a subset of values based on a prior value; translated

value can be used) (Note:- When you first define your flexfields, you choose how many segments

You want to use and what order you want them to appear. You also Choose how you want to validate each of your segments. The decisions

You make affect how you define your value sets and your values.) 165) How to run a concurrent program. What all concurrent programs u have created. Ans:- (Definition :- A concurrent program is an instance of an execution file , along with parameter definitions and incompatibilities. Concurrent programs use concurrent program executables tolocate the correct execution file.) Oracle Tool Concurrent Program * A concurrent program written in Oracle Reports, PL/SQL package procedures, SQL*Loader, SQL*Plus, Host Scripting. How to Run : * Write a execution file and place in correct directory. Establish executables in Oracle apps specify execution file and method. Define Concurrent Program (Program, Parameters and Incompatibilities) Call your Program (- Thu application form, from other concurrent program. - OR through standard request submission, you must check the USE in SRS check box

and register your

program parameters when you define your concurrent program. Add your program into the request securitygroup for your custom application.) I have created reports through concurrent program, load(sql*loader/pl-sql pkg-proc) the file throughconcurrent program. 166) What is parameter in apps and from where u can create it. Ans:- Parameters only using in report, you can create in defining the report in apps (you can create the parameter there only). 167)What all are the tables used in the modules u have worked on. *In GL I have worked on GL_JE_HEADERS(JOURNALS HEADER),GL_JE_LINES(JOURNAL LINES),GL_JE_BACHES(JOURNAL BATCHES), GL_SET_OF_BOOK(SET_OF_BOOK_ID), *In PO- I have worked on PO_HEADER_ALL.. 168)What is Profile? Explain different levels of Profile. Ans:- A user profile is a set of changeable options that affects the way your

applications run. Oracle Application Object Library establishes a value for each option in a user

s profile when the user logs on or changes 50


50/79

responsibility. Your user can change the value of profile options at any time a) To create Profile Option. ( Profile Option can created by developer in application developer area )b)set the value ( Values of the profile option , who will have what value at various levels is set bySYSADMIN).Oracle Application Object Library provides many options that. ( Edit profile feature for everyuser is available to set any value to allow the user). your users can set to alter the user interface of yourapplications to satisfy their individual preferences.

Profile Option set at run time like User Related, responsibility, Sequence, Printer, Security. Values in 4 Levels(HIEARCHY WISE) :- A. USER B. RESPONSIBILITY C. APPLICATION D. SITE Application Developer create the profile. System Administrator make profile option. (NOTE:- If any change in value, it will active when you re-login or switch to the responsibility.) ( Usage in the multi-tier, the profile is biggest impact) 169)How to restrict the data for a responsibility as per the ORG-ID Ans:-Through Multi Org(MO) u can restrict the data for a responsibility as per the ORG-ID. Only in GL-Set of book Id you set the value to restrict the data for a responsibility. 170) What is Flexfield? What is flexfield qualifier and what is segment qualifier? Ans:- A flexfield is made up a segments (Which are actually table columns). Each segment has a name thatcan be assigned, and set of valid value. Purpose and Application:- * Flexibility to implement code structure. * Flexibility to capture additional information. Two Types of Flexfields in oracle apps. 1. Key Flexfields (KFF) 2. Descriptive Flexfields (DFF)

A key flexfield segment has a name you assign, and set of valid values you specify. Each value has a meaning

which can be specified.

Flexfield Qualifier:-A flexfield qualifier identifies a particular segment of a key flexfield.. Usually an application needs some method of identifying a particular segment for some application purpose such as security or computations. However, since a key flexfield canbe customized so that segments appear in any order with any prompts, the application needs a mechanismother than the segment name or segment order to use for segment identification. Segment Qualifier :- A segment qualifier identifies a particular type of value in a single segment of a key flexfield. In the Oracle Applications, only the. Accounting Flexfield uses segment qualifiers. You can think of a segmentqualifier as an identification tag for a value. In the Accounting Flexfield, segment qualifiers can identify theaccount type 171) Which flexfield qualifiers are mandatory?

Ans:- Balancing Segment

flexfield qualifier is mandatory. 51

172) Difference Between versions of Apps.(Front end Database) Ans:- In backend- Client server architecture (old)/ Three tire architecture In font end- Client Server Application (old)/ Web Based application 173)What is MULTI-ORG and what is structure of multi-org. Ans:- Use a single installation of any oracle applications product to support any number of organizations. ifthose organizations use different set of books.

Support any number or legal entities with a single installation of oracle applications. Secure access to data so that users can access only the information that is relevant to them. Structure :- Business Unit -HRMS(Employee) -GL(Set of Books)(Currency, Calendar, Chart of Account) | Balancing Segment(You can do multiple balancing segment) -Operating Units (Purchase, Selling, Fixed Asset, Payable, Receivables) -Inventory Organizations (Storing Items, Transaction Happening,

Ware Housing) (Note:- Means if you maintaining GL(set of book id), If u have operating unit, if you have inventory then its called MULTI-ORG) 174)What is difference between ORG_ID and ORGANIZATION_ID in Multi-Org. At where we can set ORG_ID and ORGANIZATION_ID level it comes in the structure. Ans:-A Global Variable exists in the oracle database called CLIENT_INFO, which is 64 bytes long. The first 10bytes are used to store the operating unit ID(or ORG_ID) for the multiple organization support feature. Multi-Org views are partitioned by ORG_ID. The ORG_ID value is stored in CLIENT_INFO variable.(It comesin AP,PO,AR,OM level) ORGANIZATION_ID Its for Inventory, Mfg, & BOM. 15.Q.What are the default types of parameters. What is the use of each one of it. Ans:-****** 175)ORG_ID can be set at master levels or transaction level. Ans:- ORG_ID can be set at transaction Level. 176)Differnet type of execution methods in Conc.Progs. Explain Each Type. Ans:- a.Oracle Reports- You can register your report as executable file type is oracle reports. b. PL/SQL Package Procedure - You can register your PL/SQL Package Procedure as executable file type isoracle PL/SQL Package Procedure. 1. SQL Loader- You can register your SQL Loader SQL Loader is your executable file type.(for data loading) 2. SQL*Plus :- You can register your SQL script as SQL*Plus executable type. 3. Host Scripting:- You can write down Unix Host scripting and register here.

177) What is difference between oracle schema and apps schema. Ans:-Database Schema- The APPS schema- is an ORACLE schema that has access to the complete Oracle Applications data model. This schema is maintained by Auto Install .

178)What are the objects APPS schema contain. 52


52/79

Ans:- The APPS schema contains synonyms to all tables and sequences as well as all server side code (stored procedures, views, and database triggers). For ERP applications, data partitioning is performed by database

views. These views reside in the APPS Oracle schema and derive the appropriate operating unit context from an RDBMS variable.

179)When will a New version of flint60 be released? flint60 is a developer/development tool. Since flint60 can change at any time, the most current flint60 willalways obsolete all prior releases. In other words, the development standards implemented in the mostcurrent flint60 are the standards to which everyone using flint60 must adhere. 1. How do I register a custom concurrent program?

Step 1: Register a concurrent program executable Navigate to the Define Executable form (AOL Referencemanual pg 9-84) This determines the type of program being run, ie an Oracle Report, a C program, a shellscript etc. Fill in the executable name, application and execution method. For the Execution File, fill in justthe filename. The concurrent manager will look in the appropriate directory under the application's topdirectory. For spawned programs, the file must be in the bin directory, for Oracle Reports the rdf file mustbe in the srw directory. For PLSQL concurrent programs, put the name of the stored procedure. Step 2: Define the concurrent program Navigate to the Define Concurrent Program form (AOL Referencemanual pg 9-87) This form links a concurrent program to the executable you just defined, as well as definesthe programs parameters, incompatibilities, and other options. Enter the concurrent program name,application, short name and description. Check Standard Submission if you want to be able to submit thisprogram from the Standard Report Submission form. Enter the name of the executable you defined and anyreport information if necessary. Also define any parameters your program needs here and anyincompatibilities. Step 3: Add the concurrent program to a Report Group First you will need to find the name of the ReportGroup to use. Go to Security->Responsibility and query the responsibility you want to run the program with.It should show a Report Group name. Query this name in Security->Responsibility->Report Add your newprogram to the list of available programs. Now when you go to submit a request with this responsibility, you

will be able to submit your custom program 180)How do I compile a custom C program? Spawned programs: Step 1: Write the code Self-explanatory Step 2: Compile the source You must use the makefile under $FND_TOP/usrxit Use: make -f$FND_TOP/usrxit/Makefile program.o We do not support using any other makefile Step 3: Link the program This part is a little tricky. You need to create a custom makefile for this step. Use$FND_TOP/lib/sample.mk as a starting point. Copy this file to the lib directory under your applications topdirectory. Rename it .mk (ie fnd.mk, gl.mk etc) Modify this file according to the directions in it.Basically you need to 53


53/79

add a target and build commands for your executable. Next, use adrelink to link the executable: adrelinkforce=y ranlib=y "shortname programname" " Step 4: Register the program as in the above question Immediate programs: Just don't do it. 181)How do I run a shell script as a concurrent program? 1: Write the script and call it .prog Place the script under the bin directory under your applications

top directory. For example, call the script CUSTOM.prog and place it under $CUSTOM_TOP/bin bin 2: Make a symbolic link from your script to $FND_TOP/bin/fndcpesr For example, if the script is calledCUSTOM.prog use this: ln -s $FND_TOP/bin/fndcpesr CUSTOM This link should be named the same as yourscript without the .prog extension It should be in the same directory as the script. 3: Register a concurrent program as described above, using an execution method of 'Host' Use the name of

your script without the .prog extension as the name of the executable For the example above, you would useCUSTOM CUSTOM 4: Your script will be passed at least 4 parameters, in $1 through $4 These will be: orauser/pwd, userid,username, request_id Any other parameters you define will be passed in $5 and higher. Make sure yourscript returns an exit status. define will be passed in $5 and higher. Make sure your script returns an exit status. 5: If your script returns a failure exit status but the concurrent manager does not report the error (shows itas still running normal) apply patch 442824 182)How will u register RDF file and run it? Tell the Sequence? Steps a. Save the copy of ur reports in rdf file in ur local directory. b. Transfer or copy the rdf file to cus_top under reports directory through ftp. C. Then go concurrent program under executable menu where u define executable file and program name d. Then go to define the program name (which ur executable file name ) and check the srs box and definethe parameter and give the parameter name in token e. Attach the program(request to ur responsibility ) d run the program and view the out put is srs through ur responsibility

What are different types of value sets ? 183)What is translatable Independent Dependent ? The value set used to support the multilingual value set. 185))How do I submit a concurrent request from PL/SQL? ans : using fnd_request.submit_request . begin

v_request_id := fnd_request.submit_request(applicationshortname, concurrentprogramshortname, description, paramers) end 54


54/79

commit; if v_request_id > 0 then dbms_output.put_line('Successfully submitted') else dbms_output.put_line('Not Submitted'); end;

note : to submit a conc program from UNIX/shell scrip we use CONSUB 186) How do I cancel a running concurrent request? Navigate to the Concurrent Request Summary form Select a request The Sysadmin responsibility can cancelor hold any running request 187) What is the difference between organization id and org_id ? Organization_id stores inventory organization id ( like 204 for M1) Org_id stores the OU id corresponding to a operating unit . 188) What is the difference between conversion and interfaces ? conversion means one time activity interface means periodic activity example:- to transfer the data old version to new version it is called conversionto transfer the data fromstaging table to interface table it is called interface , it is process on every day or every hour ........ 189) What are the different types of value sets and also explain each briefly ? Different types of Value sets are, 1) Independent - This Value set contains list of values which does not depends on any other value 2) Dependant- It contains values which depends on any one of the Independant value 3) Pair- combines 2 flex field together to specify range of valid values 4) Special- Uses only 1 flex field structure to specify values 5) Table- This Value set contains list of values from 1 or more than 1 table columns 6) Translatable Dependant - Same as Dependant value set, only translated values are present 7) Translatable Independant - Same as Independant value set, only translated values are present 190) How do you register a table and columns in Oracle Apps> To register the table and columns in AOL the navigation is: Open Appliaction Developer---> Appliaction--->Database--->table.(In table mention the table name(which you want to register), user tablename,columns,user column name). The table & columns which you are going to register should be present in

your module specific schema 195) What can we find TEMPLATE.FMB file ? $AU_TOP/forms/US Template.fmb file can be found in AU_TOP resource directory. This file contains all the Commoncharacterstics all the forms. And also Contains Diffrent libraries. likeCUSTOM.pll,APPCORE,APPCOREE2,FNDSQF, JE,JL,JA,VERT,GLOBE etc..
