SQL CONCEPTS

Structured Query Language(SQL) is the standard language designed to access

relational databases. SQL is pronounced either as the word Sequel or as the letters SQL.

SQL uses simple syntax that is easy to learn and use there are five types of SQL

statements given below.

Query Statements: Allow you to retrieve the rows stored in the database tables. You

write a query using the SQL SELECT statement.

Data Manipulation Language (DML) Statements: Allows you to modify the contents

of the tables. There are three DML statements.

INSERT - Allows you to Insert row(s) into the Table.

UPDATE - Allows you to change a Row.

DELETE - Allows you delete the rows from the Table.

Data Definition Language (DDL): Allows you to define the Data structures, such as

tables that make up a database. There are five basic types of DDL statements.

CREATE – Allows you to Create Database structure.

Ex: Create Table – Used to create a Table in the Database.

Create User – Used to create the database user.

ALTER – Allows you to modify a database structure.

DROP – Allows you to remove a database structure.

RENAME – Allows you to change the name of the table. TRUNCATE – Allows you to delete the entire contents of the table.

Transaction Control (TC) Statements: Allows you to permanently record the changes

made to rows stored in a table or undo the changes. There are three TC Statements.

COMMIT – Allows you to permanently record the changes made to the rows.

ROLLBACK – Allows you to undo the changes made to the rows.

SAVEPOINT – Allows you to set a SAVEPOINT to which you can rollback changes

you made.

Data Control Language (DCL): Allows you to change the permissions on the database

structures. There are two DCL statements.

GRANT – Allows you to give another user access to your database structures,

such as tables.

REVOKE – Allows you to prevent another user from accessing to your database

structures, such as tables.




2 22 2

Tables: Table is a database object which holds the data and contains one or more

columns associated with its datatypes

Creating a Table: we use the create table statement to create a table. The simple

syntax for the creation of table.

Syntax: CREATE Table table_name

(column_name type [CONSTRAINT constraint_def DEFAULT default_exp],

column_name type [CONSTRAINT constraint_def DEFAULT default_exp],

column_name type [CONSTRAINT constraint_def DEFAULT default_exp]…

)

[ON COMMIT {DELETE | PRESERVE} ROWS]

TABLESPACE tab_space;

Ex: SQL> Create table hariha_0016(ename varchar2(10),

Eno number unique);

Table Created.Altering a Table: we can alter the table using the alter statement. The alter table

statement perform such tasks given below.

Add, modify, or drop a column.

Add or drop a constraint.

Enable or Disable a constraint.

Ex: SQL> Alter table hariha_0016

Add address varchar2(10);

Modifying a Column:


Modify address varchar2(20);

Dropping a Column:


Drop address;

Renaming a Table: If we want to change the name of the table then we use this

RENAME statement.

Ex: SQL> Rename table hariha_0016

To

Hariha_0015;

Truncating a Table: If we want to delete all the rows existing in the table then we use

the TRUNCATE Statement.

Ex: SQL> Truncate table hariha_0015;

Dropping a Table: If we want to drop the total structure along with the records existing

in the table we use this DROP statement.

Ex: SQL> Drop table hariha_0015;




3 33 3

Views: A view is basically a predefined query on one or more tables. Retrieving

information from the view is done in the same manner as retrieving from the table.

Creating a View: by using the create view statement we can create a view.

Syntax: Create [Or Replace]

View view_name

[(allias_name[,allias_name….])]

AS subquery

[WITH {CHECK OPTION | READ ONLY} CONSTRAINT

Constraint_name];

Ex: SQL> Create view medha_0016_view AS

Select ename, eno, address from

Hariha_0016;

View Created.

Performing an Insert using a View: we can also perform DML operations using theviews. Given below is the example for that.

Ex: SQL> Insert into medha_0016_view(

Ename, eno, address) Values (HARIHA, 0016, HYD);

1 Row Created.

Modifying a View: we can modify the view using the REPLACE. If there any view

existing with that name then it was modified with the current one.

Ex: SQL> Create or Replace

view medha_0016_view

ASSelect a.ename, a.eno, a.address, b.city from

Hariha_0016 a, hariha_0011 b

Where a.eno = b.eno;

Dropping a View: when want to drop the view we use this statement. Only the view

will be dropped from the database the table was not effected.

Ex: SQL> Drop view hariha_0016_view;

Sequence: A sequence is a database item that generates a sequence of integers. We

create the sequence using the CREATE SEQUENCE statement.

Syntax: Create Sequence Sequence_name[Start with Start_num]

[Increment by increment_num]

[ {MAXVALUE max_num | NOMAXVALUE} ]

[ {MINVALUE min_num | NOMINVALUE} ]

[ {CYCLE | NOCYCLE} ]

[ {ORDER | NOORDER} ];




4444

Ex: SQL> Create Sequence medha_seq_0016

Start with 100 Increment by 1;

Sequence Created.

Using the Sequence:

Ex: SQL> Select medha_seq_0016.currval ”Currval”,

medha_seq_0016.nextval “Nextval”

From

Dual;

Output: Currval Nextval--------- ----------

101 101

Modifying the Sequence: If we want to modify the sequence by using the ALTER

SEQUENCE we can do that.

Ex: SQL> Alter Sequence medha_seq_0016

Start with 1000 Increment by 2;

Sequence Altered.

Dropping a Sequence: If we want to drop the sequence then we use this DROP

STATEMENT.

Ex: SQL> Drop Sequence medha_seq_0016;

Sequence Dropped.

Explain Plan: Explain plan gives the execution plan of the statement. PLAN_TABLE isnecessary for explain plan.

If there is no PLAN_TABLE in your system then go with UTLXPLAN.SQL from the

SQL Prompt.

Syntax:SQL> Explain plan

Set statement_id = ‘hariha_0016’

[into PLAN_TABLE ]

for

select * from scott.emp

where empno = 7369;

Plan Explained.

In TOAD(Tools for Oracle Application Design) write the SQL statement and press

CTRL+E then it automatically shows the explain plan. It is the simple way to get the

explain plan instead of writing the explain plan in SQL.




5 55 5

SQL Trace: SQL Trace gives a wide range of information & statistics that used to tune a

group of SQL operations. We do the Sequel Trace at three levels.

1. SQL2. Reports3. Forms

Trace the Sequel Statements. How much time it was taking, how many rows it was

fetching, all the information was given from SQL Trace.

Steps for generating Trace file:

Enable the Trace.

Run the DML statements.

Disable the Trace.

Get the Trace file.

Convert the Trace File to Readable Format.

The Trace file was generated with he extension .TRC. Oracle has give specified

directory for trace files. To get the path use the query below.

EX: SQL> Select value fromV$PARAMETERWhere name = ‘USER_DUMP_DEST’;

To get the name of the Trace file also we have to use the Query.

SQL> Select c.value || ‘\ORA’ || TO_CHAR(a.spid, ‘FM00000’) || ‘.TRC’

From

V$PROCESS a,

V$SESSION b,

V$PARAMETER c

Where

a.addr = b.paddr

and b.ausid = userenv(‘sessionid’)

and c.name = ‘USER_DUMP_DEST’;

TKPROF: Copy the trace file, which was generated earlier, and paste it in your custom

directory.

Syntax: CMD> TKPROF d:\siri_0016.trc siri_0016.txt

The Hariha_0016.txt was created in the same drive where the Trace file was located.

Ex: --Query to Print the Cumulative Salary of the Employee table order by DEPTNO

SQL> Select deptno, ename, sal, sum(sal) over(partition by

deptno order by deptno, ename) “CUM_SAL”

from

scott.emp;

PL/SQL CONCEPTS

Oracle added a procedural programming language known, as PL/SQL (Procedural

Language/SQL). PL/SQL is a third generation language and contains the standard

programming constructs.

Anonymous Block: An Unnamed block which will not store any where in the database is

know as Anonymous block.

Block Structure: PL/SQL programs are divided up into structures known as blocks, with

each block containing the PL/SQL and SQL statements. The syntax for the structure is

given below.

Syntax: [DECLARE

Variable declaration

Begin

Executable_statements

[Exception

Exception_handling_statements]

End;

Ex: SQL> SET SERVEROUT ON;SQL> Declare

v_1 number;v_2 number;v_3 number;

Beginv_1:=&v_1;

v_2:=&v_2;v_3:=&v_3;if v_1 < v_2 and v_1 < v_3 then

dbms_output.put_line('1st is small');elsif v_2 < v_3 then

dbms_output.put_line('2nd is small');else

dbms_output.put_line('3rd is small');end if;

ExceptionWhen zero_divide then

DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(‘Division by ZERO’);End;

O/p: It will ask for the three input values and will display the smallest number in that.

Difference between PL/SQL and SQL: In PL/SQL there is no buffer to hold the values

so we pass into variables. Here in SQL there is buffer to hold the data temporarily.

Ex: SQL> Select ename from emp where is empno = 7788;SQL> Declare

V_name varchar2(10);BeginSelect ename into v_name from emp where empno = 7788;End;




7 77 7

Cursors: Cursor is a private SQL area provided by the oracle engine. It is mainly used to

retrieve the data from more than one column. There are two types of cursors they are

given below.

Implicit Cursors

Explicit Cursors

Implicit Cursors: Implicit cursor raises implicitly when we use INSERT, UPDATE,

DELETE and SELECT..INTO statements. Because the Implicit cursor is opened and closed

by the PL/SQL engine.

Ex: SQL> declarev_edata emp%ROWTYPE;begin

select * into v_edata from emp where empno=7788;if sql%notfound then

dbms_output.put_line('Record Not Found');else

dbms_output.put_line('Record Found');

end if;end;

Processing Explicit Cursors: The four PL/SQL steps necessary for explicit cursor

processing are as follows.

Declare the cursor.

Open the cursor for a Query.

Fetch the results into PL/SQL variables.

Close the Cursor.

Declaration of Cursor: The declaration of the cursor is associated with the select

statement. The syntax for the cursor is given below.Syntax: CURSOR cursor_name IS select_statement;

Ex: -- To print the Cumulative SAL of the Employee table order by empno SQL>declare

v_sal number;v_dno number;l_count number;cursor test_cursor is select * from scott.emp order by empno;

beginv_sal:=0;v_dno:=0;for i in test_cursorloop

if(i.deptno!=v_dno) thenv_sal:= 0;

end if;v_sal:=v_sal+i.sal;dbms_output.put_line('Ename: ' || i.ename||' Sal: '|| i.sal || '_Cum_sal: '|| v_sal || 'Deptno: ' || i.deptno);l_count:=test_cursor%rowcount;

end loop;dbms_output.put_line(l_count||' Row(s) Fetched by the Cursor');

end test_cursor;




8 88 8

Cursor Attributes: There are four cursors available in PL/SQL that can be applied to

cursors. Those are given below.

%FOUND %NOTFOUND %ISOPEN %ROWCOUNT

%FOUND: %FOUND is a Boolean attribute. It returns TRUE if the previous FETCH

returned a row and FALSE if it didn’t.

%NOTFOUND: %NOTFOUND is also a Boolean attribute. It returns FALSE if the

previous FETCH returned a row and TRUE if it didn’t. It behaves opposite to the

%FOUND.

%ISOPEN: %ISOPEN is a Boolean attribute. It returns TRUE if the associated cursor is

open other wise it will return FALSE.

%ROWCOUNT: %ROWCOUNT is a Numeric attribute. It returns number of rows

returned by the cursor so far.Declaring, Opening Fetching and Closing the Cursor:

Ex: SQL> declarev_eno number;v_ename varchar2(20);l_count number;cursor razia_cursor is select empno,ename from scott.emp;begin

open razia_cursor;loop

fetch razia_cursor into v_eno, v_ename;exit when razia_cursor%notfound;l_count:=razia_cursor%rowcount;

dbms_output.put_line('Ename: ' || v_ename||' ENUM: '|| v_eno);end loop;close razia_cursor;dbms_output.put_line(l_count||' Row(s) Fetched by the Cursor');

end;

Ex: SQL> -- Example to print the odd rows in the Table EMP declaren number;l_count number;cursor razia_cursor is select empno,ename,rownum from scott.emp;begin

for i in razia_cursorloop

n:=mod(i.rownum,2);if (n>0) then

dbms_output.put_line('Empno: ' || i.empno||' NAME: '|| i.ename||'ROWNUM: '|| i.Rownum);

end if;l_count:=razia_cursor%rowcount;

end loop;dbms_output.put_line(l_count||' Number of Row(s) Fetched by the Cursor');

end razia_cursor;

Exceptions: An Exception is a error handling statement. It is used when ever our

program terminates abnormally by using the exception we can execute the program

from abnormal termination to normal termination. There are mainly two types of

exceptions they are given below.

Predefined Exceptions.

User defined Exceptions.

Predefined Exceptions: Oracle has predefined several exceptions that correspond to

the most common oracle errors. Some predefined exceptions are given below.

LOGIN_DENIEDNO_DATA_FOUNDZERO_DIVIDETOO_MANY_ROWSSTORAGE_ERRORROWTYPE_MISMATCHINVALID_CURSORCURSOR_ALREADY_OPEN

Ex: SQL> declarecursor test_cursor is select e.ename, d.deptno,d. dname from scott.emp e, scott.dept dwhere e.deptno=20 and d.dname='RESEARCH';begin

for i in test_cursorloop

dbms_output.put_line(i.ename || ' ' || i.deptno ||' '|| i.dname);end loop;exception

when no_data_found thendbms_output.put_line('NO DATA FOUND EXCEPTION RAISED');

when others then

dbms_output.put_line(' An Error Raised ' || sqlerrm);end test_cursor;

User Defined Exceptions: A user defined exception is an error defined by the

programmer. User defined exceptions are declared in the declarative section of the

PL/SQL block just like variables.

Syntax: DECLAREE_myexception EXCEPTION;

Ex: SQL> create or replace procedure razia_proc(v_sal in number) asv_sl number;razia_excep exception;

beginif(v_sal >= 5000)thenraise razia_excep;elseselect sal into v_sl from emp order by deptno;end if;exceptionwhen razia_excep thendbms_output.put_line( 'YOU HAVE PERFORMED AN ILLEGAL OPERATION');

end razia_proc;




10 10 10 10

Procedures: Procedures are also known as subprograms. Given below is the syntax for

the creation of the procedure.

Syntax: CREATE [OR REPLACE] PROCEDURE procedure_name

[(argument [{IN | OUT | IN OUT}] type,

…

[(argument [{IN | OUT | IN OUT}] type) ] {IS | AS}

BEGIN

procedure_body

END procedure_name;

Ex: SQL> create or replace procedure razia_proc asv_sal number;cursor razia_cursor is select * from emp order by deptno;begin

v_sal := &v_s;for i in razia_cursor

loopif(i.sal > v_sal) thendbms_output.put_line( 'Employee Name: ' || i.ename);

end if;end loop;exceptionwhen others thendbms_output.put_line( 'YOU HAVE PERFORMED AN ILLEGAL OPERATION');dbms_output.put_line( 'THE PROGRAM MAY TERMINATE NOW');

end razia_proc;Execution: exec razia_proc;

Passing IN Parameter to the Procedures:Ex: SQL> create or replace procedure kanthi_proc(p_inpar in number) as

v_name varchar2(30);beginselect ename into v_name from emp where empno=p_inpar;dbms_output.put_line( 'Employee Name: ' || v_name);exceptionwhen others then

dbms_output.put_line( 'YOU HAVE PERFORMED ILLEGAL OPERATION');end kanthi_proc;

Using IN and OUT parameters to Procedures:

Ex: SQL> create or replace procedureshabbir_proc(p_outpar out varchar2,p_inpar in number) asbegin

select ename into p_outpar from emp where empno=p_inpar;

end;--To Catch the Output variable out side the procedure in the SQL

declarev_name varchar2(20);v_num number;begin

mypro(v_name,&v_num);dbms_output.put_line( 'Employee Name: ' || v_name);

end shabbir_proc;




11111111

Functions: Function is similar to a procedure except that a function must return a value

to the statement from which it is called. The syntax for creating a function is given

below.

Syntax: SQL> CREATE [OR REPLACE] FUNCTION function_name

[(parameter_name[IN | OUT | IN OUT] type [,….])]

RETURN type;

{IS | AS}

BEGIN

Function_body

END function_name;

Ex: create or replace function haritha_func(p_empno number)

return varchar2 is

v_ename varchar2(20);

v_sal number;begin

select ename,sal into v_ename, v_sal from emp where empno=p_empno;

if v_sal>=6000 then

return 'TRUE';

else

return 'FALSE';

end if;

end haritha_func;

Execution: SQL> select haritha_func(7788) from dual;Ex: SQL> create or replace function haritha_fun(p_radius number)

return number as

v_pi number := 3.141;

v_area number;

begin

v_area := v_pi * POWER(p_radius,2);

return v_area;

end haritha_fun;

Execution: SQL> select haritha_fun(7) from dual;Dropping Function and Procedure: When we want to drop the function or procedure

then we use this DROP statement the syntax for the DROP is given below.

Syntax for Dropping Function:

DROP FUNCTION function_name;

Syntax for Dropping Procedure:

DROP PROCEDURE procedure_name;

Packages: Package is declarative part of the functions and procedures which are stored

in that package. There are two blocks in defining a package.

Package Specification

Package body

Package Specification: The package specification contains information about the

contents of the package. It does not contain code for any subprograms.

Syntax: CREATE [OR REPLACE] PACKAGE package_name {IS | AS}

Type_definition |

Procedure_specification |

Function_specification |

Variable_declaration |

Exception_declaration |

Cursor_declaration |

Pragma_declarationEND [package_name];

Package Body: The package body is separate data dictionary object from the package

header. It cannot be successfully compiled unless the package header is already been

successfully compiled.

Syntax: CREATE [OR REPLACE] PACKAGE BODY package_name {IS | AS}

….

BEGIN

Initialization_code;

Triggers: A Trigger is a procedure that will fire automatically by the database. When a

specified DML statement is run against the specified table. Triggers are useful for doing

things like advanced auditing of changes made to a column values in a table. The syntax

for creating the trigger is given below.

Syntax: CREATE [OR REPLACE] TRIGGER trigger_name

{BEFORE | AFTER | INSTEAD OF} trigger_event

ON table_name

[FOR EACH ROW [WHEN trigger_condition]]

BEGIN

Trigger_body;

END;

Ex: This example is when we insert into a table t1 then the same data has to be inserted

into the table t2. For that we require two tables of one same column.

SQL> CREATE TABLE t1(

Eno number);

SQL> CREATE TABLE t2(

Eno number,

Ins_date date);

SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER razia_trigger

BEFORE INSERT ON TABLE t1

FOR EACH ROW

BEGIN

INSERT INTO TABLE t2

VALUES(:new.eno,sysdate);

END;

Note: For every insert operation on t1 it will insert the eno col values to t2 along with the current

sysdate in the other column.

Disabling and Enabling Trigger: We can stop the trigger from firing by disabling the

trigger by using the ALTER TRIGGER statement. The syntax for enabling the trigger and

disabling the trigger is given below.

Syntax: ALTER TRIGGER trigger_name DISABLE;

ALTER TRIGGER trigger_name ENABLE;

Dropping a Trigger: If we want to drop the trigger from the database then we have to

use DROP TRIGGER statement. The syntax for dropping the trigger is given below.

Syntax: DROP TRIGGER trigger_name;

Phases in Aim Methodology:

1. Definition Phase

2. Operational Analysis Phase

3. Solution Design Phase

4. Build Phase

5. Transition Phase

6. Production Phase

1.

Definition Phase: Here the functional consultants prepare the sample structure

(Blue Print) for the real business by gathering the information.

2. Operational Analysis phase: In this the functional consultant prepare BR100

(Business Requirement).

3. Solution Design Phase: here the functional consultant will prepare MD50 by using

BR100. MD50 is the functional document.

4. Build Phase: here the technical consultant converts MD50 to MD70. MD70 is the

technical document. Then the technical consultant prepare the final object and go

with testing, i.e. Unit Testing.

5. Transition Phase: here SIT(System Integration Testing) and UAT(User

Acceptance Testing) is done. Functional consultant does SIT. After this the

functional consultant will train the user in oracle apps product and user does UAT.

If it is satisfied by the user, it is sign off and product will be given to the user.

6. Production phase: loading the project in the client place. Where the server of

oracle apps in the client place.

Introduction: The Oracle Applications is an ERP , which was developed by the

Oracle Corp and was used by the several companies to utilize several resources

contained with them.

Business Flow of Oracle Applications:

Oracle Applications is designed for the Financial and Manufacturing clients. The

categories in the modules are given below.

Financial Modules: Account Payables, Account Receivables, General Ledger and Fixed

Assets.

Manufacturing Modules: Purchasing, Inventory, Bill Of Materials, Work in Progress and

Order Management.

In HRMS we maintain all the details of the employee as well as the organization details.

Module: It is a collection of forms and reports which are related to particular business

process.

Purchase order module has the forms and reports which are related to the purchasing

business process. It contains nearly 50,000 tables they are accessed by only purchase

order module.




16 16 16 16

Oracle Applications Database Structure:

Schema: Schema is a place in database which contains the database objects like tables,

indexes, sequences, views and synonyms.

In oracle applications database we have individual schemas for each module

application. These schemas contain the database objects of only that particular module.

When we connect any database schema we can access only that schema database

objects. We can’t access other database objects. For data integrity purpose the oracle

has deigned one more schema called Apps schema which contains only synonyms and

this schema have the rights to access any other module database objects.

Note: Apps Schema will not contain the tables it contain only synonyms.

Projects in Oracle Applications:

Implementation Projects: Implementation means we will develop the forms,

reports from the scratch. In this project we will be work in the areas of the forms,

reports, interface, customizations and interfaces.

Customization Projects: In this we customize some standard reports. Migration / Up gradation Projects: This will be moving from the Old version to the

New version.

Support / Maintenance Projects: Solving the issues which are raised by the end

user while entering the data.

Post Implementation Projects: This will be done at free of cost. It’s a real time

testing.




17 17 17 17

Types of Docs in Oracle Apps:

MD 050 -- Module design by the functional consultant.

MD 070 -- Technical Document designed by the technical consultant.

MD 020 -- Technical document designed by the functional document.

MD 0120 -- Migration and user training document by the technical consultant.

CV 040 -- Conversion of the functional document by the functional consultant.

CV 060 -- Conversion of the technical document by the technical consultant.

Note: Conversion means moving the data from the legacy system to the apps system.

Oracle Apps File Architecture:

We will have Linux/Unix server for oracle apps we will be connecting to the server

by using the FTP/TOAD/FILEZILLA/WINSEP3

File Architecture:

The Server first top will be application top “ Appl-top” we can change the name

according to the client wish. Under that we have the product top. Each module has go it

individual top.




18 18 18 18

Note: We will move the (download/upload) forms and reports from the local machine to the server

always in binary mode. We save any information only on the server not in the local machine.

Entering the Oracle Applications: First it will prompt for the username and passwordand then click on the connect button then it will give us responsibilities form. Select towhich responsibility you want to login then you will enter to the oracle applications.

We get the screen as given below when we enter into the system administratorresponsibility.




19 19 19 19

User Creation: Connect to the oracle applications 11i as we shown above and enter intothe system administrator responsibility. The navigation to create the user isSecurity User Define. The window is given below. Enter the username, passwordand assign responsibilities what ever you want and save the user will be created.

Note: when ever we login next time we can enter the user name and password that what wecreated now.

Steps to Register a Report:

1. Develop the report in 6i according to the client requirements.

2. Transfer the object from the local system to the server and placing that in theappropriate directory.

3.

Creating the executable and set the execution method as oracle reports as we areregistering the report. Set the executable file name as the object name which wemodified or developed.

4. Create the concurrent program and set the executable to the concurrent program.If your program has any parameters then go with the parameters button andsubmit the parameter tokens.

5. Set the concurrent program to the request group and the request group to theresponsibilities.

6. User having that responsibility will only can run that request or submit therequest of the report.

Note: Every form contains 3 types of fields those are

1.

Yellow Colored fields --- Mandatory. With out entering these mandatory fields we

can’t save the form.

2. Green Colored fields --- Read only.

3. White Colored fields --- Optional.

4. Blue colored indicates the form in the query mode. We enter into the query mode by

pressing F11 and enter data which was already saved to retrieve the record press

CTRL+F11.




20 20 20 20

Creating the Concurrent Program Executable: Before we start the registration

process we have to create a report according to the client requirements and place the

report in the appropriate directory (Custom top). The navigation for this form is

Concurrent Program Executable. The given below is the executable window.

Window help:

Executable: Set the executable name as we like here we entered the name as per the

program.

Short Name: Set the short name of the executable as related to the executable because

we have to remember them.

Application: Select the Appropriate Application from the list of applications here we

selected the Oracle Receivables because we saved our report (valueset.RDF ) in the AR

(Receivables) folder only.




21212121

Description: This field is not a mandatory field if we want to describe the concurrent

program executable we use this field.

Execution Method: There are eleven execution methods we can choose what ever we

want as per the requirements. Those are stated below.

Host:

The execution file is a host script. When ever we have an UNIX scripting

programs then we use this execution method.

Immediate: The execution file is a program written to run as a subroutine of the

concurrent manager. We recommend against defining new immediate concurrent

programs, and suggest you use either a PL/SQL Stored Procedure or a Spawned C

Program instead.

Java Stored Procedure: The execution file is a Java stored procedure.

Java Concurrent Program: The execution file is a program written in Java.

Multi Language Function: The execution file is a function (MLS function) that supports

running concurrent programs in multiple languages.

Oracle Reports: The execution file is an Oracle Reports file. To register a report which

we done in report6i we use this method.

PL/SQL Stored Procedure: The execution file is a PL/SQL stored procedure.

Spawned: The execution file is a C or Pro*C program.

SQL * Loader: The execution file is a SQL script.

SQL * Plus: The execution file is a SQL*Plus script.

Note:

1.

According to the requirement of the user and the type of the report we created

the execution method will depend.

Execution File Name: We have to set the executable filename as our report name. Here

we create the report name as valueset so; we set the name as valueset.

Subroutine Name: Only immediate programs or spawned programs using the Unified C

API use the subroutine field.

Staging function Parameters (Button): The Stage Function Parameters button opens a

window that allows you to enter parameters for the Request Set Stage Function. This

button is only enabled when you select Request Set Stage Function as your Execution

Method.

After entering all the fields save the form and go to the Concurrent Programs Form. The

Navigation for this is Concurrent Program Define.




22 22 22 22

Window Help:

Program: Enter the Program name as we like it is not standard we gave here as

cs_value_prg as per our program.

Enabled (Check Box): Disabled programs do not show up in users' lists, and do not

appear in any concurrent manager queues. You cannot delete a concurrent program

because its information helps to provide an audit trail.

Short Name: The short name is also like the short name in the executable form. We

have to give the name as per the program name.

Application Name: Select the application name as Oracle Receivables. We have to select

the application as what we select in the Executable form.

Description: This field is not a mandatory field if we want to describe the concurrent

program we use this field.

Executable:Name: Set the executable name as the short name of the executable which we give in

the previous Executable form.

Method: when we enter the executable name there in the name field it was automatically

set which we saved in the executable form.

Priority: you can assign this program it own priority. The concurrent managers process

requests for this program at the priority you assign here.




23 23 23 23

Request:

Type: If you want to associate your program with a predefined request type, enter the

name of the request type here.

Incrementor: For use by Oracle Applications internal developers only. The Incrementor

function is shown here.

MLS Function: The Multilingual Concurrent Request feature allows a user to submit a

request once to be run multiple times, each time in a different language. If this program

utilizes this feature the MLS function determines which installed languages are needed

for the request

Use in SRS (Check Box): Check this box to indicate that users can submit a request to

run this program from a Standard Request Submission window.

Run Alone (Check Box): If you check the Use in SRS box, you can also check this box to

allow a user to enter disabled or outdated values as parameter values.

Enable Trace (Check Box): Turns on SQL tracing when program runs. Allow Disabled Values (Check Box): If you check the Use in SRS box, you can also check

this box to allow a user to enter disabled or outdated values as parameter values.

Restart on system failure Run Alone (Check Box): Use this option to indicate that this

concurrent program should automatically be restarted when the concurrent manager is

restored after a system failure.

NLS Complaint (Check Box): This box is checked if the program allows for a user to

submit a request of this program that will reflect a language and territory that are

different from the language and territory that the users are operating in.

Output:

Format: There are several formats as per the requirements in the report we use this

format here we use the TEXT format.

Save (Check Box): Indicate whether to automatically save the output from this program

to an operating system file when it is run. This value becomes the default for all requests

submitted for this program.

Print (Check Box): If you enter No, your concurrent program's output is never sent to

the printer.

Columns/Rows: Enter the minimum column and row length for this program's report

output. Oracle Applications uses this information to determine which print styles can

accommodate your report.

Style: There are several styles which we can use A4, Landscape, BACS and other styles.

Style Required (Check Box): If your program requires a specific print style (for example,

a check writing report), use this check box to enforce that print style.

Printer: If you want to restrict your program's output to a single printer, enter the name

of the printer to which you want to send your output.




24242424

Buttons:

Copy to (Button): Create another concurrent program using the same executable,

request and report information as the current program. You can optionally copy the

incompatibility and parameter details information as well.

Session Control (Button): Use this window to specify options for the database session of

the concurrent program when it is executed.

Incompatibilities (Button): Identify programs that should not run simultaneously with

your concurrent program because they might interfere with its execution. You can

specify your program as being incompatible with itself.

Parameters (Button): If there are any parameters for our report then we go with the

parameters button. We get the window called parameters when we go with the button.

Note: The window help of the Parameter window will be given in the next steps.

Setting the Concurrent Program to the Request Group: To set the concurrent

program to the request group we have to go to the responsibilities screen. The

navigation is Security Responsibility Define. Then we get the window as shown

below.

Note: Here if we want we can create new responsibility or we can use the existing one. Here we

use the existing one retrieved the existing responsibility name using query mode (F11) as we

discussed earlier.

Now copy the request group name and go to the navigationSecurity Responsibility Request. Then Request Groups window will be openedas shown below. By entering the query mode we have to paste the Request Group nameat the Group field and press CTRL+F11. This form is case sensitive. After that click onnew button and enter the concurrent program name at the name column and go withsave button.




25 25 25 25

Submitting the Request: Now switch to the appropriate responsibility then only wecan run the request. Here as per our example we have to enter into theReceivable Vision Operations. After enter into the responsibility go with the navigation.Menu View Requests then we get the window find request go withSubmit a New Request button. It will prompt for the Single Request or Request Set . Asour program is the single we go with the Single option. After that we get anotherwindow.




26 26 26 26

Enter the concurrent program name at the name field and go with the submit button.

Then we get another window as shown below.

To view the outputs of your program then go with the output button. To view any error

messages you go with the View log button.




27 27 27 27

Process to Register a PL/SQL Stored Procedure: This is the PL/SQL StoredProcedure using the Table Valuesets.

Creating the Procedure:

EX:

SQL> create or replace procedure chaitu_proc(errbuf out varchar2,

retcode out varchar2, p_dno in number, p_dname in varchar2)as

cursor test_cursor is select e.ename, d.deptno, d.dname from scott.emp e,scott.dept d where e.deptno=p_dno and d.dname=p_dname;

beginfor i in test_cursor

loop

dbms_output.put_line(i.ename || ' ' || i.deptno ||' '|| i.dname);end loop;

end chaitu_proc;

Procedure Created.

Note: Here we have to use fnd_file.put_line to view the output in Oracle apps, because

dbms_output.put_line will not work in Oracle AppsHere in the Procedure there are two mandatory out parameters those are errbuf and retcode.

Errbuf: Used to write the error message to log or request file.

Retcode: if the RETCODE is set to 0 - Then concurrent program will Completed NORMAL.1 - Then concurrent program will Completed WARNINGS.2 - Then concurrent program will Completed ERROR.

Creating the Concurrent Program Executable: Before we start the registrationprocess we have to create a package or Procedure according to the client requirements.The navigation for this form is Concurrent Program Executable. The given belowis the Navigator window.




28 28 28 28

When we go with the above navigation the Executable form will be open then we have

to enter the mandatory fields.

Executable: Set the executable name as we like here we entered the name as per the

program.

Short Name: Set the short name of the executable as related to the executable because

we have to remember them.

Application: Select the application name from the list of applications here we selected

the Oracle Receivables as per our requirements.

Description: This field is not a mandatory field if we want to describe the program we

use this field.

Execution Method: We have to select the PL/SQL Stored Procedure as execution method

to register the myproc1 procedure.

Execution File Name: We have to set the executable filename as procedure name. Here

we our procedure name is mrproc1 so; we set the name as myproc1.

After entering all the fields save the form and go to the Concurrent Programs Form.

The Navigation for this is Concurrent Program Define.




29 29 29 29

Enter all the mandatory fields and save the form.

Program: Enter the Program name as we like it is not standard we gave here as

cs_value_prg as per our program.

Short Name: The short name is also like the short name in the executable form. We

have to give the name as per the program name.

Application Name: Select the application name as Oracle Receivables. We have to select

the application as what we select in the Executable form.

Executable Name: Set the executable name as the short name of the executable which

we give in the previous Executable form.

Format: There are several formats as per the requirements in the report we use this

format here we use the TEXT format.

Style: There are several styles which we can use A4, Landscape, BACS and other styles.

Here we are having the two parameters go with Parameters button in the Screen. The

Concurrent Program Parameters window will show below.




30 30 30 30

Note: There is no token required where we are working with the PL/SQL STORED PROCEDURE andobserve that the token field in the above window is grayed it won’t allow any values into that field.

Window Help:

Seq: Choose the sequence numbers that specify the order in which your programreceives parameter values from the concurrent manager.

Parameter: We enter the parameter name that we are passing. Same was passed to theprompt when we press tab.

Description: This is the optional field to describe the input parameter.

Enabled (Check Box): Disabled parameters do not display at request submission timeand are not passed to your execution file.

Validation:

Valueset: Enter the name of the value set you want your parameter to use for validation.You can only select from independent, table, and non-validated value sets. As per ourexample we defined two valuesets for two parameters and set the two valuesetsrespectively.

Default Type: If you want to set a default value for this parameter, identify the type of value you need.

Required (Check Box): If the program executable file requires an argument, you shouldrequire it for your concurrent program.

Enable Security (Check Box): If the value set for this parameter does not allow securityrules, then this field is display only. Otherwise you can elect to apply any security rulesdefined for this value set to affect your parameter list.

Display:

Display Size: Enter the field length in characters for this parameter. The user sees andfills in the field in the Parameters window of the Submit Requests window.

Concatenated Description Size: Enter the display length in characters for the parameter

value description. The user sees the parameter value in the Parameter Description field

Table Registration in APPS:

1. Create a table .

Ex: Sql> Crete table wip_item(ITEM VARCHAR2(15),ITEMDESCRIPTION VARCHAR2(100),ITEMCOST NUMBER(8),CATEGORYK VARCHAR2(100),CREATION_DATE DATE,CREATED_BY NUMBER(7),LAST_UPDATE_DATE DATE,LAST_UPDATED_BY NUMBER(7),ATTRIBUTE_CAT VARCHAR2(100),ATTRIBUTE1 VARCHAR2(100),ATTRIBUTE2 VARCHAR2(100),ATTRIBUTE3 VARCHAR2(100),ATTRIBUTE4 VARCHAR2(100),ATTRIBUTE5 VARCHAR2(100));

2. If you are in different user for Ex: scott/tiger then you have to grant permission to

APPS.

Ex: Grant all on wip_item to apps;

3. Connect apps/apps@PROD.

4. Create synonym for the table which we are going to register in APPS.

Ex: Create public synonym wip_item for wip.wip_item.

5. Registering the table by using AD_DD Package

Syntax: Exec AD_DD.REGISTER_TABLE(p_appl_short_name,p_tab_name, --table namep_tab_type,

p_next_extent, -- Enter the initial and next extent sizes in kilobytes for yourtable. You must enter values greater than 0.p_pct_free,--free storage.p_pct_used);-- used storage.

EXEC AD_DD.REGISTER_TABLE('WIP','WIP_ITEM','T',8,10,90);

Registering the Columns:

Syntax: EXEC AD_DD.REGISTER_COLUMN p_appl_short_name, p_tab_name, p_col_name, p_col_seq,

p_col_type, p_col_width, p_nullable, p_translate, p_precision default null, p_scale default null);




40 40 40 40

Ex:

EXEC AD_DD.REGISTER_COLUMN('WIP','WIP_ITEM','ITEM',1,'VARCHAR2',15,'N','Y');

EXEC AD_DD.REGISTER_COLUMN('WIP','WIP_ITEM','ITEMDESCRIPTION',2,'VARCHAR2',100,'N','Y');

EXEC AD_DD.REGISTER_COLUMN('WIP','WIP_ITEM','ITEMCOST',3,'NUMBER',8,'N','Y');

EXEC AD_DD.REGISTER_COLUMN('WIP','WIP_ITEM','CATEGORYK',4,'VARCHAR2',100,'N','Y');

EXEC AD_DD.REGISTER_COLUMN('WIP','WIP_ITEM','CREATION_DATE',5,'DATE',11,'N','Y');

EXEC AD_DD.REGISTER_COLUMN('WIP','WIP_ITEM','CREATED_BY',6,'NUMBER',7,'N','Y');

EXEC AD_DD.REGISTER_COLUMN('WIP','WIP_ITEM','LAST_UPDATE_DATE',7,'DATE',11,'N','Y');

EXEC AD_DD.REGISTER_COLUMN('WIP','WIP_ITEM','LAST_UPDATED_BY',8,'NUMBER',7,'N','Y');

EXEC AD_DD.REGISTER_COLUMN('WIP','WIP_ITEM','ATTRIBUTE_CAT',9,'VARCHAR2',100,'N','Y');

EXEC AD_DD.REGISTER_COLUMN('WIP','WIP_ITEM','ATTRIBUTE1',10,'VARCHAR2',100,'N','Y');





6. Check in APPS go to Application Developer Responsibility

Application Database Table

Then we will get Tables Screen as Shown below and press F11 then enter the

table_name and press CTRL+F11 then we will get the data as shown below.




41414141

Valuesets: Valueset is nothing but the list of values with validation. We will be using the

valuesets whenever the concurrent programs have parameters and while defining the

flex fields we attach this flex fields. The given below are the types of valuesets.

None

IndependentDependentTableTranslatable DependentTranslatable IndependentSpecial and Pair.

None: It is used whenever we want to apply some format condition like max.length,

numbers, and capital letters so on. There wont be any list of values in none valueset.

Independent: This valueset is used whenever we want to show some hard coded values

to the end user that time we will create. Navigation to get the Valueset screen in

Application Validation Set

After that go with the Navigation Application Validation Values then we will get

the screen given below. Enter the valueset name, which we created earlier.




43 43 43 43

Window Help:

Value Set Name: Define your own value set name.

Format Type: Select the appropriate datatype that what we are passing as parameterthrough this valueset. This field is mandatory.

Maximum Size: Enter the maximum size of the parameter that what we are passing tothe report. This field is mandatory.

Validation Type: Select validation type as Table and go with the edit information button.then the Validation table information window will be open. Enter the mandatory fields asrequired.

Now go with the edit information button then we get the Validation Table Informationwindow will appear as shown below.

Table Name: Here we can enter the table name or we can write a query. Query must bewritten in braces only.

Ex: (select distinct (empno) from scott.emp)

Value: Enter the column name which we want to display in the parameter window.

Meaning: Meaning is to provide the additional information along with the list of values.

ID: To column is used to pass a value to the parameter. The scenario of using this id will

be if we want to pass a value to the parameter, which is associated with, the list of

values select by the user.

Where/Order By: To incorporate any filters in the list of values we can do that in where

clause and order by is used to sort the list of values in ascending or descending order.

Additional Columns: when we want to display any other Additional columns in the

output form we use this. We use these two as per the requirements.

Syntax: Column name “ Alias Name” (Width)




44444444

Note: When we are working with table valueset only the edit information button is active. For

other valuesets it is not active.

Using $FLEX$: $FLEX$ is used to hold the data which was selected by the previous

valueset for that we have to define another table valueset with different name as per the

above process. In the new valuset we used the $FLEX$ as given below screen.

Note:

Whenever you assign the valueset to any concurrent program then you are not allowed to

modify the valueset. We have to remove from the valueset from the concurrent program

to modify the valueset, which was already created.

For more information you go to the example given below with detailed explanation of table

valueset.

When ever we select the validation type as table then the edit information button in the

valuesets window will be enabled. It will be disabled for the other valuesets only for the

table valueset.

Translatable Dependent & Translatable Independent: These two valuesets are

used whenever you are working with multi-lingual implementation.

Special: Special valueset is used for display flexfields data as parameter values.

Pair: This valueset is used to display parameters in pairs.

EX: Date from & Date To…etc. (To specify a range in pair we use such type of valuesets).

Working with User Exits in Reports 6i: User Exits are 3GL programs used to transfer

the control from the report builder to Oracle Applications or any and it will perform some

actions and return to the report builder. There are five types of user exits those are

given below.

FND SRWINIT

FND SRWEXIT

FND FORMAT_CURRENCY

FND FLEXSQL

FND FLEXIDVAL

FND SRWINIT: Used to write in before report trigger. It is used to fetch the concurrent

request information and also used to set the profile options.

FND SRWEXIT: We will write this in after report trigger. Used to free the memory which

has been allocated by the other user exits

FND FORMAT_CURRENCY: This is used to convert amounts or currency from one

currency to other currency values and also used to display currency amounts in formats.

EX: SRW.USER_EXIT(‘FND FORMAT_CURRENCY’,

Code = ‘currency_code’,

Display_width=’15’,

Amount = ‘:cf_feb’,

Display = ‘:cd_feb’);

Return (:cd_feb);

FND FLEXSQL: This is used to get the data from flex fields. We will use in formula

columns.

FND FLEXIDVAL: This is used to get the data from flex fields. We will use them in

formula columns.

Note:

1. We use the User Exits in the Report triggers like before report , after report , before

parameter form, after parameter form.

2. We have to create a mandatory parameter called P_CONC_REQUEST_ID when we work

with FND SRWINIT , FND SRWEXIT .

3. The user exits are case sensitive we have to write them in capital letters only otherwisethey will raise an error.




46 46 46 46

Designing the Report: Create a new report manually. Go to data model and click on

the SQL Query then a dialog box SQL Query Statement will open write your query in

that.

Data Model:

Ex:

SELECT E.EMPNO,E.ENAME,E.SAL,D.DNAME FROMSCOTT.EMP E,SCOTT.DEPT DWHERED.DEPTNO=E.DEPTNO order by e.deptno

Layout Model: Now go to the layout model and design your report view as per therequirements. See here in the below diagram we created P_CONC_REQUEST_ID in theuser parameters.




47 47 47 47

Report Triggers: Report triggers execute PL/SQL functions at specific times during theexecution and formatting of your report. The types of report triggers are given below.

Before Parameter Form: If we want to pass any initial values to the parameter we usethis trigger.

After Parameter Form: This trigger will fire after the entering the parameter values. To

validate the parameters and use to populate the lexical parameters, we use this trigger.

Before Report: In oracle 11i we use this trigger to initialize profile values.

Between Pages: This trigger is used to format the output and fires once per each pageexcept for the first page.

After Report: This trigger is used to free the memory or drop the temporary objects thatare created in the begining of the report or to send the output as mail.

Note:

1. In the report triggers we cant use any SQL statements directly there is package called

srw (Standard Report Writer) using this we can write any SQL statements.

Syntax: srw.do_sql(‘create sequence myseqIncrement by 1

Start with 1’);

2. To display any message box in the triggers or at any stage in reports6i we use another

procedure in srw package.

Syntax: srw.message(1001,’Hai this is a Simple Message from CHAITU’);

Go to the before report trigger and use the FND SRWINIT which is used to fetch theconcurrent request information and also to set the profile options.




48 48 48 48

Ex: Code in the before report trigger

function BeforeReport return boolean isbegin

SRW.USER_EXIT('FND SRWINIT');

return (TRUE);end;

After writing the code then click on the compile button if there is no error then we willget the successfully compiled message at the down right corner.

Now go after report trigger and write the code as given below and compile it aftersuccessfully completion then close the window.

EX:function AfterReport return boolean isbegin

SRW.USER_EXIT('FND SRWEXIT');SRW.message(100,'P_CONC_ID: '||:P_CONC_REQUEST_ID);

return (TRUE);end;

Note: Now our report is ready, save it and register the report in the oracle applications. Thenwe will get the output as given below.

Output Window:




49 49 49 49

Profiles: Profiles are the changeable options which affect the way application runs. Toget these profiles we use three API’s those are given below.

1. FND_PROFILE.GET(‘Name of the Profile’, variable name);

2. variable name := FND_PROFILE.VALUE(‘Name of the profile’);

3. FND_PROFILE.SET(‘Name of the profile’, value of the profile);

The 1st and 2nd are same but, the only difference is FND_PROFILE.GET is the

procedure and FND_PROFILE.VALUE is the function so, it return a value. The Profile

values will be set in different levels those are given below.

Site

Application

Responsibility

User

Server

Organization

Site: This field displays the current value, if set, for all users at the installation site.

Application: This field displays the current value, if set, for all users working under

responsibilities owned by the application identified in the Find Profile Values block.

Responsibility: This field displays the current value, if set, for all users working under the

responsibility identified in the Find Profile Values block.

User: This field displays the current value, if set, for the application user identified in the

Find Profile Values block.

Profile: Enter the name of the profile option whose values you wish to display. You may

search for profile options using character strings and the wildcard symbol (%). For

example, to find all the profile options prefixed by "Concurrent:” you could enter

"Conc%" and press the Find button.

The navigation to get the system profile values information is Profile System.




50 50 50 50

The profiles are of two types those are given below.

1. System Profile and

2. User Profile.

The above given window is the System Profile window and the user profile window isgiven below and the navigation is Profile Personal.

Note: To view personal profiles enter into the query mode and enter the profile name which wehave already then we get profile value details.

Some important Profiles:

ORG_ID

MFG_ORGANIZATION_ID

GL_SET_OF_BKS_ID

USER_ID

RESP_ID

RESP_APPL_ID

Note: To get the RESP_ID or RESP_APPL_ID…. Go with the following navigation.

Menu Help Diagnostics Examine. Then it will prompt for the oracle password,

enter that then we get the Examine and Variable Values window as shown below.

In the same way we can get the ORG_ID, RESP_APPL_ID, USER_ID…., by entering

what ever we want at the Field column in the above Examine window.

API’s To Register Concurrent Program:

FND_PROGRAM.EXECUTABLE: To Create executable and set the appropriate executionmethodSyntax:

FND_PROGRAM.EXECUTABLE(EXECUTABLE, APPLICATION, DESCRIPTION,EXECUTION_METHOD, EXECUTION_FILE_NAME);

FND_PROGRAM.REGISTER: To create concurrent programSyntax:

FND_PROGRAM.REGISTER(PROGRAM, APPLICATION, ENABLED, SHORT_NAME,DESCRIPTION,….);

FND_PROGRAM.PARAMETERS: To set the parameter and to pass appropriate tokensthrough the concurrent programSyntax:

FND_PROGRAM.PARAMETER(PARAMETERNAME, VAlUESET, TOKEN, PROMPT,SIZE);

FND_PROGRAM.REQUEST_GROUP: To set the parameter and to pass appropriate

tokens through the concurrent programSyntax:

FND_PROGRAM.REQUEST_GROUP(REQUEST_GROUP_NAME, APPLICATION,CODE, DESCRIPTION,..);

FND_GLOBAL_APPS_INITIALIZE: When ever we are working with profiles in PL/SQL

and submitting through the SQL we need to use this API the syntax for this API is given

below.

Syntax: FND_GLOBAL_APPS_INITIALIZE(user_id, resp_id, resp_appl_id,

[Security_group_id, server_id]);

Note: In this FND_GLOBAL_APPS_INITIALIZE the parameters user_id… and others we have to get

them manually from apps the process we discussed above see. The navigation is

Menu Help Diagnostics Examine.

EX: Declarei number;

beginFND_GLOBAL_APPS_INITIALIZE(1007899,20420,1);

i:=FND_PROFILE.VALUE(‘ORG_ID’);dbms_output.put_line(‘Operation ID: ‘|| i);

end;

O/p: Operation ID: 204

FND_CLIENT_INFO.SET_ORG_CONTEXT: This is the API used to set the ORG_ID

value from the backend, so that system will retrieve the data from the database which is

related to mention the organization.

Syntax: BeginFND_CLIENT_INFO.SET_ORG_CONTEXT(ORG_ID);

end;

EX: BeginFND_CLIENT_INFO.SET_ORG_CONTEXT(204);

end;




52 52 52 52

FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST: When ever we want to submit the request to the

apps through the SQL we use this API . The syntax and a simple example were given

below.

Syntax: FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST(

Application,

we have to pass the short name of the application concurrent Program in which we registered (Ex: Oracle Receivables = AR).

Program, Pass the short name of the concurrent program

Description, description of the concurrent program

Start-time, start time of the concurrent program

Sub-request, if there any other request, pass true other wise false.

Arg-1,

- - These arg1 to arg100 are used to pass the parameters to the

concurrent program.

Arg100); Totally FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST API is having the 105 parameters.

EX: Declare

id number;

begin

FND_GLOBAL_APPS_INITIALIZE(1007899,20420,1);

Id:=FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST(‘AR’,CSPROC,NULL, NULL, FALSE, 20, RESEARCH);

dbms_output.put_line(‘Request ID:’ || id);

commit;

end;

O/P: Request ID: 2725363

FND_FILE.PUT_LINE: This API is used to send messages to output file or log file while

we are working with PL/SQL Stored procedures

For sending messages to output file we use this syntax

Syntax: FND_FILE.PUT_LINE(FND_FILE.OUTPUT,’OUTPUT MESSAGE’);

For sending messages to log file we use this syntax

Syntax: FND_FILE.PUT_LINE(FND_FILE.LOG,’LOG MESSAGE’);

Difference between ORG_ID & ORGANIZATION_ID: ORG_ID will come underoperating unit in Multiorg. ORGANIZATION_ID will come under inventory organization.

ORG_ID is used to distinguish the data of different business organizations.

ORGANIZATION_ID is used to identify the items belongs to which inventory organization

it has assigned.




53 53 53 53

MULTI ORGANIZATION (MULTIORG): Multiorg is nothing but under single oracle

application implementation maintaining multiple organizations and multiple set of books.

We will have Multiorg tables (table which is ending with _ALL). When ever we enter the

data, which will be stored in the Multiorg tables only.

Ex: OE_ORDER_HEADERS_ALL

OE_ORDER_LINES_ALL

OE_ORDER_HOLDS_ALL

PO_HEADER_ALL

PO_LINES_ALL

Multiorg Structure:

Business Groups: The business groups represent the highest level in the organization

structure like major divisions etc. business group secures human resources information

for example when we request a list of employees we can see the employees assign to

the business groups.

Set of books: It is a financial reporting entity uses a particular chart of accounts

functional currency and accounting calendar. Oracle GL secures transaction information

like general entries balances by set of books. When we assign to the oracle GL

responsibilities there will be a set of books assignment. We can see the information for

that set of book only. The navigation in that responsibility is

Setup Financials Books Define.




54545454

Legal Entities: It is a legal company for which we prepare physical or tax reports. We

will assign tax identifiers and other legal information.

Operating Units: It is one of the organizations where exactly company is being sales,

purchasing payments and receiving and so on. It may be sales office or a division or a

department. At operating unit level PO, AP, AR, OM modules will be implemented.

Inventory Organization: It is an organization where we are going to maintain

manufacturing information and items information. It captures inventory transactions,

balances. Oracle inventory , WIP , BOM will be implemented at inventory organization

level.

Sub Inventory: Sub inventory is nothing but stocks or goudons or warehouses, which

will be define under inventory organization.

Locators: Stock Locators is nothing but the specific location inside the sub inventory

where we will place the item.

Note:

• When ever we write a statement like SELECT * FROM OE_ORDER_HEADERS then

it shows “NO ROWS RETURN ” as an output.

• When ever we are working with the Multiorg views if we want to get the data

from those views we have to set the ORG_ID of which Operating unit it is belongs

by using the API (FND_CLIENT_INFO.SET_ORG_CONTEXT(ORG_ID)). Then we

get the required information from the view.

• We found the list of ORG_ID’s in the HR_OPERATING_UNITS.

• To find the system is in Multiorg or not the query is

EX: SELECT MULTI_ORG_FLAG FROM FND_PRODUCT_GROUPS;

O/p: Y If it is a Multiorg system otherwise it is N.




56 56 56 56

INTERFACES:

It is nothing but a program; it will be used to transfer the data from flat file to data

base table or from data base table to flat file. Two types of interfaces given below.

1. Outbound Interface

2. Inbound Interface

Outbound Interface: it will be used to transfer the data from oracle apps base table to

legacy system flat file. We will develop a concurrent program, which is pl/sql procedure.

Inside of that we will use UTL_FILE package to generate the flat file.

UTL_FILE: it is one of the pl/sql package, which will be used to transfer the data from

oracle data base table to flat files or from flat files to oracle data base tables. But we will

use sql loader to transfer data from flat file to data base tables .

By using following 3 functions we will generate flat file

1. Declare the file pointer to find out file location.

UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;

2. To open or create file.

UTL_FILE.FOPEN(‘PATH’,’FILENAME’,’W’);

3. To transfer data into file

UTL_FILE.PUT_LINE(FILE POINTER, COLUMN NAME);

4. To close file

UTL_FILE.FCLOSE(FILE POINTER);

STEPS:

1. Develop the pl/sql program.

2. Define the cursor to get the data from the data base tables.

3. Open the cursor and open the file by using UTL_FILE package.

4. Transfer the data from cursor variable into flat files by using UTL_FILE.

5. Close the file by using UTL_FILE package.

6. Register the program as concurrent program.

7. This program is scheduled at SRS window.

Ex: Create or replace procedure inventoryout (errbuf out varchar2,Retcode out varchar2) as

Cursor cur_inv is select inventory_item_id,organization_id,segment1,description from mtl_system_items_b;Outpointer utl_file.file_type;

BeginOutpointer:=utl_file.fopen('c:\temp','inventoryflat.txt','w');

-- To get the path:-- Select value from V$parameter where name like ‘utl_file_dir’;

For c in cur_inv




57 57 57 57

loopUtl_file.put_line(outpointer,c.inventory_item_id||'-'||c.organization_id||'-'||

c.segment1 ||'-'||c.description);end loop;utl_file.fclose(Outpointer);exceptionwhen others thenfnd_file.put_line(fnd_file.log,'error while generating flat file');

end inventoryout;

UTL_FILE EXCEPTIONS:

1. UTL_FILE.INVALID_OPERATION

2. UTL_FILE.INVALID_PATH

3. UTL_FILE.INVALID_MODE

4. UTL_FILE.INVALID_FILEHANDLE

5. UTL_FILE.READ_ERROR

6.

UTL_FILE.INTERNAL_ERROR

INIT.ORA: This file contains the accessible directories list.

Inbound Interface or Conversion: it will be used to upload the data from legacy

system flat file to oracle apps base table. For this we will use SQL LOADER program and

pl/sql program.

Ex: -- To load data from flat file to Tables using SQLLDR

-- Writing the Control File CS_CTL.CTL

LOAD DATAINFILE ‘C:\CHAITU_CS.CSV’

BADFILE ‘CS_BAD.DAT’ -- Naming the BAD FILE

DISFILE ‘CS_DISC.DAT’ -- Naming the DISCARD FILE

INSERT INTO TABLE CS_0016

FIELDS TERMINATED BY ‘,’

TRAILING NULCOLS

(

COL1,

COL2,COL3

)

-- SQLLDR SYNTAX

CMD> SQLLDR APPS/APPS@PROD CONTROL = CS_CTL




58 58 58 58

SQL Loader: This is a CUI (Character User Interface) Tool, which is used to load data

from flat files to tables. We have to feed control file to the SQL Loader this control file

contains information about the flat file and into which table needs to be loaded.

Syntax:

LOAD DATAINFILE <FILENAME>

[INSERT / REPLACE / TRUNCATE / APPEND]

INTO TABLE <TABLENAME>

FIELDS TERMINATED BY ‘ , ’

OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED ‘ “ ‘

TRIALING NULLCOLLS

WHERE ---[CONDITION]

Filler Clause: The filler clause is used to skip one column data in the flat file.

Ex: -- Example using all functions in the control file

-- Create a Table ABC with 4 cols

Create table ABC(Col1 number,

Col2 varchar2(10)

Col3 number,

Col4 varchar2(10),

Col5 varchar2(10),

Col6 date);

-- Table Created

-- Create the Control File with the name mycontrol.ctl

LOAD DATA

INFILE ‘C:\NEW.CSV’

INSERT

INTO TABLE ABC

(COL1, Sequencename.nextval, getting the sequence number

COL2, “upper(:col2)”

COL3, constant ‘ABC’ it fills the each row with the constant value

COL4, NULLIF COL4= ‘EX’

if there is no value then it is filled with theCOL5, FILLER, to skip the column

COL6, “to-date(:col4, ‘dd-mm-yyyy’)); to print the date.

After completion of the control file save it as .ctl extension and to execute the control file

go to the command prompt in UNIX or WINDOWS use the following syntax.




59 59 59 59

Syntax:

Prompt> SQLLDR USERNAME/PASSWORD@HOSTNAME

CONTROL = CONTROL FILE NAME

[DIRECT = TRUE / FALSE [DEFAULT]

SKIP = NUMBER

ROWS = NUMBER

ERRORS = NUMBER]

Ex: -- Executing the control file mycontrol.ctl

--Prompt> SQLLDR USERNAME/PASSWORD@HOSTNAME

CONTROL = mycontrol.ctl

In the execution there are more options, which are stated below. And those options

we give after the CONTROL in the SQLLDR are optional according to our requirement we

will use them.

Conventional Path: It is the default path which will create insert statements and it will

insert data into table method is very slow. Here the auto commit will be carried for every

64 records.

Direct Path: This will be used when ever the volume of data is high. It will make the

entire data into set of blocks and it will create one insert statement for each block and

insert data into tables. This method is very fast also parallel loading will be working while

working with direct path. By default it will be false.

Skip: Used to skip the rows from flat file while loading the data into tables.

Rows: In conventional path the commit will happen for every 64 records by default if we

want to make it to 1000 EX: ROWS = 1000

Errors: This indicates that how many no of errors can be tolerated while loading data

into tables. The default value is 50.

As a part of the execution the SQLLDR creates three files according to the output type

those are given below.

1. Bad File: Which will be created whenever there are records, which are rejected

while inserting into the table from the flat file?

2. Discard File: It will be created whenever there are records which are not

satisfying the filtering criteria specified in the where clause of the control file.

3. Log File: This file contains the complete information of data it will be created at

all times when ever we fire SQLLDR.




60 60 60 60

Conversion: Conversion is a preimplementation load which will transfer the data from

the legacy system to the oracle apps system. After the completion of load we will drop

all the objects which we have used for the conversion.

Conversion Process:

1.

We will get the flat file to convert, based on the flat file we will generate the

temporary file and by using SQLLDR we transfer data from flat file to temporary

table.

2. Create staging table, which is replica of interface table provided by oracle.

3. Develop a package which have different program units for validation and moving to

interface tables

4. Run the validation procedure to validate the data which has been loaded into

staging table. Use extra cols in a staging table ERRFLAG and MESSAGETEXT that

are used to identify valid and invalid records with respective error messages.

5.

We transfer the successful records into interface table and change the ERRFLAG

status from V(Validated) to M(Moved)

• ERRFLAG E ERROR

• ERRFLAG V VALIDATED

• ERRFLAG M MOVED

6. As we are working with open interface we will run the import program provided by

oracle used to pull the data from interface table and load into base table.

7. If any records got failed while importing these will exist under oracle defined errors

tables.

Conversion Process (Brief ):

1. Based on the flat file provided write the control file to transfer the data into staging

tables.

2. Validate the data that has been loaded into staging tables.

3. Insert the validated records into interface tables.

4. This is an open interface we run the import program to import the data into base

tables.

Interface: Interface is a post implementation load which will be helpful to import the

data after golive.

EX: ARLOCKBOX interface

The object that we have developed for this interface will be registered in the oracle

applications.




61616161

Types of Interfaces: There are two types of interfaces.

1. Open Interface.

2. Custom Interface.

Open Interface: Open interface is nothing but it provides interface tables and import

programs to import data into base tables.

Customer Interface: Whenever oracle has not provided any import programs or API to

import data into base tables we call it as a custom interface.

Interface Process:

1. Based on the flat file w e will develop the control file and insert the data into

staging table.

Note: Place the control file in the bin directory of your custom application directory.

2.

Register that in oracle 11i applications by taking execution method as

SQL * LOADER we develop the packages which will be having procedures like

validate the staging table, moving the validated data to the interface tables, run

import program after that register that package in oracle 11i applications

Note: While transferring the data into base tables we pass three extra cols those are given

below.

Process_flag (Number)

Transaction_type (Varchar2)

Set_process_id

Process_flag: To check the status of the row which we fetched into the table. We pass

different values that indicate the status of the row those are given below.

1 To be process

2 Import Success

3 Error

4 Validation Under Process

7 Validation Successful.

Transaction_type: This is used to identify which transaction was done those are CREATE,

UDATE.

Set_process_id: It is used to split the no. of records to use memory correctly without

getting any SGA MEMORY error.

Note: We can’t load more than one organization records at a time. First we have to load the

master organization and then child organization.




62 62 62 62

Item Conversion:

1. We transfer the data from flat file to the staging table.

2. Validate the data, which has been loaded into the staging table.

Check the ITEM_NUMBER is existing or not.

Check whether the ORG_CODE is existing or not.

Description should not be NULL

Template name should be validated from MTL_ITEM_TEMPLATES table.

Validate the PLANNERS_CODE from MTL_PLANNERS table.

Validate the HAZARDS_CLASS from PO_HAZARD_CLASSES table.

3. After doing the above validation if the record got successfully validated we will set

the record status to ‘V’ else ‘E’ with appropriate error message.

4. Transfer the validated data from staging to interface table.

(MTL_SYSTEMS_INTERFACE).

5. As we are working with open interface we will run the standard concurrent program

to import the data from interface table to base table. Before running this import

program we have to set the organization to which we are loading the items. The

program will ask for six parameters. The navigation is Import Import Items in

the Inventory responsibility.

All Organizations: If we go with YES it will load the same item into all organizations else

it will load into a specific organization.




63 63 63 63

Validate Items: If this is YES then import program revalidate the data existing in the

interface table.

Process Items: If this is YES after validation it will load the validated records into

MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_B table.

Delete Processed Rows: If this is yes the successfully imported records will be deleted

from the interface table.

Process Set(NULL for ALL): This is the only parameter which is not mandatory. What

ever value will be provided compared with the SET_PROCESS_ID column in the

MTL_SYSTEMS_ITEM_INTERFACE table. The main purpose of this table is to make or

spread the data into batch which makes import easy. If we provide NULL for the

irrespective of SET_PROCESS_ID then it will pull all the records for the process.

Create or Update Items: If it is 1 it will check the records in the interface table whose

transaction type is CREATE and pull those records for import. If we provide 2 it means

we are trying to UPDATE the existing items. So it will pull the records whose transaction

type is UPDATE .

After the submission of the request and when it got completed to identify the load

status of records check with the PROCESS_FLAG column in the

MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_INTERFACE . We discuss the different status of the process

flag in the above discussion.

General Errors:

The general error that occur when we are dealing with the Item Conversions that

is Master-Child Conflict this error will occur when ever we are trying to load

child org with out loading to the master.

Items cannot have pick the components = “YES” when ever the MRP planning

method is not defined.

Note:

To find the records which got erroredout and their proper messages oracle provided

MTL_INTERFACE_ERRORS table. The join between this interface table and error table is

TRANSACTION_ID.

To set the master items to the child organizations also then we have to go with the

Master Items then retrieve the item and go with the Organization Assignment button on

the top left side.

Item Categories:

1. Convert the data from flat file to staging table.

2. Validate the data which has been loaded into staging.

Validate the ITEM_NUMBER whether it exists or not from

MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_B table.

Validate the organization from ORG_ORGANIZATION_DEFINITIONS

Validate the CATEGORY_SET from MTL_CATEGORY_SETS_B and

MTL_CATEGORY_SET_TL.

Validate the CATEGORY_CODE from MTL_ITEM_CATEGORIES_INTERFACE

table.

3. As we are working with open interface we have to run this import

ITEM_CATEGORY_ASSIGNMENTS program to import assignment data from

interface table (MTL_ITEM_CATEGORIES).

Transaction Types:

Create: Create used to create new item category assignment.

Delete: Delete used to delete the default category assignments.

Update: This is a new transaction type come up with the 11.5.10 version of oracle

applications. Instead of delete or create the new assignments we can update default

category value or category code.

Note: The validation process for the item categories script was given below as the step by step

process.

Customer Items: Customer items are the items how the customer will identify our

items.

Items Relationship: Item relationship which is used to maintain some relationships

with item, with relationship types, with related substitute and service.

Item Attachments:

Flat file contains the data like item_number, organization_id, document_category,

datatype, sequence, attachment.

Validations:

Validate the Item is exists with respective organization or not.

Validate the document category from FND_DOCUMENT_CATEGORIES_TL.

Validate the datatype from FND_DOCUMENT_DATATYPES.

Validate the Sequence which should not be NULL

As there are no interface tables we will load the validated data to the base tables

directly. For that we have to write the procedure.

Order to Cash Flow with Order Management and

Process Inventory

Entering and managing orders is performed in Order Management. Shipping Execution

allows you to plan and confirm your shipments. Inventory to satisfy your order

requirements is allocated and picked in Process Inventory.

The following diagram illustrates the components of the Order Management for Process

flow and is described in the following steps. Note that this is a sample flow and can be

modified.

1. Sales orders are entered and booked through Order Management. Reserving the

order creates a high-level allocation in Process Inventory.

2. Before an order can be picked and shipped, it must be pick released . The Pick

Release process can invoke automatic inventory allocation and creates a process

move order.

3. Process move orders allow you to manually assign available Process Inventory to

a move order or pick from a list of available lots. Lines that have been

automatically allocated may be viewed and edited. Once an order line is allocated

(detailed), it is pick confirmed.

4. Deliveries and trips are created in Shipping Execution. Containers can also be

used.

5. Once you have verified the allocation of inventory to an order, it needs to be Pick

Confirmed. This step can be automated or done through the process move orders

form in Process Inventory. After the pick confirm, allocated inventory is marked

as staged.

6. Ship confirm is the final process in Shipping Execution which records the actual

shipped amounts and creates backorders, if necessary. At the completion of ship

confirm, on hand inventory is decremented for the shipped quantity.

7. Auto Invoicing allows billing of confirmed shipments. This process can be setup to

run automatically upon shipment of an order or be invoked manually. Invoicing

and cash receipt are handled within Oracle Receivables.8. The final step in the process is the running of the subsidiary ledger update to

create the entries for Inventory and Cost of Goods Sold.

TCA – Trading Community Architecture

Parties are entities, of type Person, Organization, or Group, that can enter into businessrelationships.

A relationship represents the way two entities interact with each other, based on the role

that each entity takes with respect to the other. For example, the employmentrelationship between a person and an organization is defined by the role of the person asthe employee and the organization as the employer.

Relation ship type

Each relationship phrase and role pair belongs to a relationship type, which categorizesthe types of relationships that you can create.

Relationship Group

Relationship groups are used to determine which relationship roles and phrases aredisplayed in specific application user interfaces. Groups can also be used to categorizeroles and phrases for other functional uses.

TCA RegistryThe TCA Registry is the central repository of party and other information for all Oracleapplications. The party information includes details about organizations and people, therelationships among the parties, and the places where the parties do business.

Hz_parties –

Party_id -- This table mainly stores the party_id, party_number,Party_type(Person/Organization) and the name(First Name/Last Name andParty_name(first-last name together)) of the party/customer. The first name or lastname should be given to create a party.

Hz_cust_accounts/Hz_cust_accounts_all –

This has mainly the party_id and Cust_account_id -- (called as Customer_id)

Account_number -- (called as Customer_number)(The hz_cust_accounts_all(till version 11.5.9), is not populating the org_id column. Sothis table is anyway meaning less for these versions. Not sure though there is a set uprelated to it which can enable this field.)

This table can have multiple records pertaining to one party_id. This meansa party can have multiple accounts. Ie; ,we can have multiple cust_account_ids createdfor a single party in hz_cust_account table. And also under each cust_account_id we canhave multiple addresses,

To create another customer_account(differenct cust_account_id), select the customerwith the Name from the standard customer creation search screen,(Take care not toselect the customer from LOV, since it directly selects thecust_account_id/account_number and once you press OK, you get only that

cust_account_id/account number and not all the customer accounts. So enter manuallythe customer name, press OK and this takes you to the screen,




132 132 132 132

Select the top most records. Here we can see 4 records. 1st is the Main Line, which needsto be selected for creating new customer accounts for this customer. We can see thatthere are 2 different customer numbers(account number, in this screen cust_account_idswon’t be shown) here(1441, and 1442). 1442 is repeating because that account ishaving 2 different sites(address sites).

Hz_cust_acct_sites_all –

HZ_CUST_ACCT_SITES_ALL stores information about customer sites. One customeraccount can have multiple sites. The physical address is maintained in HZ_LOCATIONS.

Gives you all the sites or address defined pertaining to an account.

(although the cust_account_id is same, the org_id's might be different.)[ If the records are related to an order, you can take the ship_to_org_id, which isnothing but the cust_account_id related to the Bill_to address and link it with the table,hz_cust_accounts (using cust_account_id) and then link it with the cust_account_id of hz_cust_acct_sites_all table like this,

FROM OE_ORDER_HEADERS_ALL OH,HZ_CUST_ACCOUNTS HCA,HZ_CUST_ACCT_SITES_ALL HCAS,hz_cust_site_uses_all HCSUWHERE OH.SOLD_TO_ORG_ID = HCA.CUST_ACCOUNT_IDAND HCA.CUST_ACCOUNT_ID = HCAS.CUST_ACCOUNT_IDAND HCAS. CUST_ACCT_SITE_ID = HCSU.CUST_ACCT_SITE_ID

AND HCAS.BILL_TO_FLAG = ‘P’

Hz_cust_site_uses_all --HZ_CUST_SITE_USES_ALL stores information about site uses or business purposes. Asingle customer site can have multiple site uses, such as bill to or ship to, and each siteuse is stored as a record in this table.

Link this table with hz_cust_account_site_all with the field, CUST_ACCT_SITE_ID. Hereis where the and each address can have one(only one primary) Bill_to or Ship_toaddress. The primary bill_to, ship_to will be the ones which are normally used for ‘siteuse’ level transactions. For one cust_account_id with different addresses,(see it in




133 133 133 133

hz_cust_acct_sites_all table for these different address lines), we can make only onebill_to or ship_to as primary.

If we get multiple records pertaining to an account, for a Bill_to, check for the field,BILL_TO_FLAG = 'P' (Means primary). IF we have multiple address/site for a particularcust_account_id, Only one bill_to address can be 'P', under a cust_account_id, althoughwe can define multiple bill_to addresses(Note : one address/site can have only one

bill_to)and all the transactions through the system will be done with the primary bill_toaddress.

Hz_contact_points –

This table stores the contact details of the customer. The contact details are storedagainst a site, if owner_table_name is equated against the hz_party_sites table. If it isequated against the hz_parties then the contacts are against the customer not againstthe customer site.

If a contact point is created against a customer site(address).

1. Difference between DCL and DML commands?

DCL commands will commit implicitly where in DML commands we have to

commit explicitly.

2. Table, Rowid, Rownum

Table is a database object, which is having more than one column associated withits data type.Rowid is the unique binary address of the row in a table

Rownum it is a temporary number in a memory and was assigned to each row

selected by the statement.

3. Pseudo-Columns

Columns that are not created explicitly by the user and can be used explicitly in

queries. The pseudo-Columns are rowid, rownum, currval, nextval, sysdate, and

level

4. What is a View?

View is Virtual Table, which hold the data at runtime

5. Difference between ordinary view and complex view?

Simple views can be modified easily and these cant hold the data where as

complex views cant be modified directly and complex view can hold the data to

modify a complex view we have to use INSTEAD OF TRIGGERS.

6. Forced view

Creating a view on a table, which is not there in the database.

7. Inline view

Inline view is basically a subquery with an alias that you can use like a view

inside a SQL statement.

11. What is Constraint? Different Constraints?

Constraints are representators of the columns to enforce data entity and

consistency. UNIQUE, NOT NULL, Primary key, foreign key, Check.

12. Difference between Primary key and Unique + Not Null constraints?

Unique + Not Null is a combination of two constraints and we can use more than

one Unique + Not Null in any table. Primary Key is a single constraint we can use

only one time for a table. It can be a referential key for any column in any table.

13. What is NULL?

Default Value.

14. Dual Table

It is a one row, one column table with value X.

15. Difference between Truncate and Delete?

Truncate will delete all the rows from the table with out any condition. It will

commit automatically when it fires Where delete will delete all or specified rowsbased upon the condition here we have to commit explicitly.

16. Difference between Char and Varchar2?

Varchar2 is similar to char but can store available number of characters and while

querying the table varchar2 will trims the extra spaces and fetches the rows that

exactly match the criteria.

17. Difference between LOB and LONG data types?

The maximum size of an LOB is 4GB. It will support random access to data where

in LONG maximum size is 2GB. It will support sequential access to data.

18. Single Row functions: It will work on single row and give result for all the rows.Ex: to_char, to_date etc.

19. Group Functions: It will work on group of rows in a table and gives a single row

result. Ex: Sum(), Avg(), min(), max().. Etc.

20. String Handling Functions?

Instr – it returns the position of the string where it occur according to theparameters.Instrb – instr and instrb returns same but in the form of bytes.Substr – It returns the portion of a string depending on the parameters from and

to.

Substrb – Substr and Substrb returns the same thing but Substrb returns in theform of bytes

21. Sign: Sign is a function it will take numbers, as inputs and it will give

i. 1 for positive integer

ii. -1 for negative integer

iii. 0 for ZERO

SQL> Select sign(-1234) from dual; O/P: -1




142 142 142 142

22. Differences between UNION and UNION ALL?

Union: The values of the first query are returned with the values of the second

query eliminating the duplicates.

Union All: The values of the first query are returned with the values of the second

query including the duplicates.

23. Difference between NVL and NVL2 functions?

NVL is used to fill a NULL value to known value. NVL2 will identify the NULL

values and Filled values it returns exp3 if it is null otherwise it returns exp2. We

have to pass 3 parameters for NVL2 and 2 parameters for NVL.

24. How can we compare range of values with out using the CASE?

By using Decode with in Decode.

25. Can we Decode with in a Decode?

YES

26. Decode and Case Difference?

Case compares a Range of values and Decode will work as if else statement.

27. Difference between Replace and Translate?

Replace is used to replace the whole string and we can pass null values in

replace. Translate is used to translate character-by-character here we have to

pass the three parameters.

28. Difference between where and having clause?

Where used to specify condition and used to restrict the data. Having used to

specify the condition on grouped results and used to filter the data.

29. Difference between IN and EXISTS clause?

EXISTS gives the status of the inner query. If the inner query is success then it

returns true other wise it returns false and IN will compare the list of values.

30. Difference between subquery and correlated subquery?

Query with in a query is subquery. Inner query will executes first and based on

the result the outer query will be displayed. Correlated subquery outer query will

executes first and then inner query will be executed.

31. What is EXPLAIN PLAN? Syntax?

Explain plan gives the execution plan of the statement. For using this explain plan

we have the plan_table in the database.

Syntax: SQL> Explain plan

Set statemet_id = ‘xyx’

[Into plan_table]

for

DML STATEMENTS;




143 143 143 143

32. SQL TRACE Definition, Process and Query to get the Trace file path?

SQL trace gives the wide range of information and statistics that used to tune a

group of SQL operations. To get the trace file we have to follow some steps

Enable the Trace.

Run DML statements.

Disable the Trace.

Convert the Trace file into readable format using the TKPROF.

Trace file Path: SQL> select value from v$parameter

Where

Name = ‘user_dump_dest’;33. PL/SQL Block structure?

DECLARE

Variable declarations;

BEGIN

Statements;

Exception

Exception block;

END;

34. Anonymous Block?

It is a PL/SQL block with no name and set of statements and cannot be stored in

the database.

35. Procedure and Function Differences?

The procedure may or may not return a value. It will return the values by its own

name and function must and should return a value and it will return values with

function name.

36. Package procedure and Procedure differences?

The package procedure is faster than the ordinary procedure because if we call

the package in a procedure it will load into the SGA memory and then it starts

functioning. The ordinary procedures use this SGA memory at runtime only.

37. Global Variable?

Declaring the variable in the package specification is the Global variable.

38. Triggers and Procedures differences?

Triggers is a database object which will fire implicitly when the event occur and

TCL command will not work in the triggers by using the PRAGMA AUTONOMOUS

TRANSACTION only we can use the TCL commands in triggers.

Procedure is a database object where we have to raise explicitly and TCL

commands will work in the Procedures.




144144144144

39. Dynamic SQL?

If we want to do DML and DDL operations in the PL/SQL block we use this

dynamic SQL. Two types are there in the Dynamic SQL

DBMS_SQL

Execute immediate

40. Difference between DBMS_SQL and execute immediate?

DBMS_SQL is slower process when compare to execute immediate because in the

DBMS_SQL we have to open, parse, fetch and execute to do the DML operations.

It is the version of 7.3.

Execute immediate is earlier version 9i it is a one step process used to execute

fastly.

41. Define a Cursor, Types and its attributes?

Cursor is a private SQL area provided by the oracle engine its main use is to fetch

more than one row. Implicit

Explicit

Implicit cursor rises whenever we use DML statements in the PL/SQL block. User

does not have control over it

Explicit cursor used to process select statement, which is used to retrieve more

than one row. We have to open, fetch, close the cursor manually. User has

control over it.

Cursor Attributes:

%ROWCOUNT – It returns the integer that how many rows that previous fetchreturns.

%FOUND – It returns TRUE if the previous fetch returns a row otherwise FALSE.

%NOTFOUND – It returns FALSE if the previous fetch returns a row otherwise

TRUE.

%ISOPEN – It returns TRUE if the named cursor is open otherwise FALSE.

42. PL/SQL Tables

It is an object type table and is used to hold the data at runtime and the size of

the PL/TABLE is dynamic.

43. VARRAYS and PL/SQL Table Differences?VARRAYS size is fixed and PL/SQL table size is dynamic.

44. Difference between PL/SQL table and Cursor?

Cursor will not use index to fetch the fifth row it has to fetch all the five rows to

give the fifth row.

Cursor will not work on multiple tables.




145 145 145 145

PL/SQL table will use the index. By using the index we can directly fetch whatever

row we want in the table

PL/SQL table can work on multiple tables.

45. What is Pragma?

Pragma is a precompiler directive, which directs the compiler before compilation

of the program.

46. Pragma Autonomous Transaction

Used to split the whole transaction into two parts parent and child, which run

parallely and both have the relation ship

Ex: ITEM ATTCHMENTS CONVERSION

47. Pragma Exception_Init?

Used to associate a user-defined exception with oracle-defined error.

Ex: Bank Account Min Balance

48. Raise_Application_Error?It is used to create our own error messages, which can be more descriptive than

named exceptions.

Syn: RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR (error_number, error_message,

[Keep_errors]);

Where error_number is between –20,000 and –20,999, error_message is

the text associated with this error, and keep_errors is a Boolean value.

49. Mutating Error, Mutating table?

It will occur whenever we try to do DML operations on a table, which is effected

by a trigger. The table, which is affected by trigger, is known as Mutating Error. 50. Difference between Package Procedure and Procedure?

Whenever we create a procedure in the package it will compile at that time. When

we call it will execute directly. Where in the ordinary procedure each and every

time it compiles and execute. The main difference is package procedure better in

performance.

guidelines for optimal performance

About 10,000 records per bacth is ideal, it is suggested to keep the batch

size small.

6. Why does customer interface error out if there is mismatch inaddress information?

Because the code validates against these mismatches. arplscin.sql and arplbcin.sql It

validates the address being inserted or updated with respect to the tax location flexfeild

structure. For each row being inserted or updated in RA_CUSTOMERS_INTERFACE, and

that has not already been marked in error, the set_location_ccid function is called to

return either an existing ccid for the address entered or to create a new entry in

AR_LOCATION_VALUES for this new address. The RA_CUSTOMERS_INTERFACE record

is then updated with the value of the ccid returned.

7. How do you send records at customer level profile and address/sitelevel profile?

For every customer record in RA_CUSTOMERS_INTERFACE_ALL, insert two records in

table RA_CUSTOMER_PROFILES_INT_ALL. (Refer Note: 1070800.6 )

39) Difference between Bind and Lexical parameters?

BIND VARIABLE:

-- are used to replace a single value in sql, pl/sql-- bind variable may be used to replace expressions in select, where, group, order

by, having, connect by, start with cause of queries.-- bind reference may not be referenced in FROM clause (or) in place of

reserved words or clauses.

LEXICAL REFERENCE:-- You can use lexical reference to replace the clauses appearing AFTER select,

from, group by, having, connect by, start with.-- You can’t make lexical reference in pl/sql statements.

40) Matrix Report: Simple, Group above, Nested

Simple Matrix Report: 4 groups1. Cross Product Group2. Row and Column Group3. Cell Group




178 178 178 178

4. Cell column is the source of a cross product summary thatbecomes the cell content.

Frames: 1. Repeating frame for rows(down direction)2. Repeating frame for columns(Across )3. Matrix object the intersection of the two repeating frames

41) what is Flex mode and Confine mode?

Confine mode

On: child objects cannot be moved outside their enclosing parent objects.Off: child objects can be moved outside their enclosing parent objects.

Flex mode:

On: parent borders "stretch" when child objects are moved against them.Off: parent borders remain fixed when child objects are moved against

them.

42) What is Place holder Columns?

A placeholder is a column is an empty container at design time. The placeholder can

hold a value at run time has been calculated and placed in to It by pl/sql code fromanther object.You can set the value of a placeholder column is in a Before Report trigger.

Store a Temporary value for future reference. EX. Store the current max salary asrecords are retrieved.

43) What is Formula Column?A formula column performs a user-defined computation on another column(s) data,

including placeholder columns.

44) What is Summary columns?A summary column performs a computation on another column's data. Using the

Report Wizard or Data Wizard, you can create the following summaries: sum, average,count, minimum, maximum, % total. You can also create a summary column manuallyin the Data Model view, and use the Property Palette to create the following additionalsummaries: first, last, standard deviation, variance.

45) What is cursor?

A Cursor is a pointer, which works on active set, I.e. which points to only one row at

a time in the context area’s ACTIVE SET. A cursor is a construct of pl/sql, used to

process multiple rows using a pl/sql block.

46) Types of cursors?1) Implicit: declared for all DML and pl/sql statements. By default it selects

one row only.2) Explicit: Declared and named by the programmer. Use explicit cursor to

individually process each row returned by a multiplestatements, is called ACTIVE SET. Allows the programmer tomanually control explicit cursor in the Pl/sql block

a) declare: create a named sql areab) Open: identify the active set.c) Fetch: load the current row in to variables.d) Close: release the active set.

CURSOR ATTRIBUTESa) %is open: evaluates to true if the cursor is open.b) %not found: evaluates to true if the most recent fetch does not return a row




179 179 179 179

c) %found: evaluates to true if the most recent fetch returns a row.d) %row count: evaluates to the total number of rows returned to far.

Example for cursor:1) Declare

Vno emp.empno%type;Vname emp.ename %type;

Cursor emp_cursor isSelect empno,ename

From emp;BeginOpen cursor;For I in 1..10 loop

Fetch emp_cursor into vno,vname;Dbms_output.putline(to_char(vno) ||’ ‘||vname);

End if;End;

2) BeginOpen emp_cursor;

Loop

Fetch when emp_cursor % rowcount >10 orEmp_curor % not found;

Bdms_output_put_line(to_char(vno)||’ ‘|| vname);End loop;

Close emp_cursor;End;

CURSOR FOR LOOP

A) cursor for loop is a short cut to process explicit cursors

B) it has higher performance

C) cursor for loop requires only the declaration of the cursor, remaining things like

opening, fetching and close are automatically take by the cursor for loop

Example:

1) Declare

Cursor emp_cursor is

Select empno,ename

From emp;

Begin

For emp_record in emp_cursor loop

Dbms_output.putline(emp_record.empno);

Dbms_output.putline(emp_record.ename)

End loop

End;

Can we create a cursor without declaring it?

Yes – by using cursor for loop using subqueries.

BEGIN




180 180 180 180

FOR emp_record IN ( SELECT empno, enameFROM emp) LOOP

-- implicit open and implicit fetch occurIF emp_record.empno = 7839 THEN...

END LOOP; -- implicit close occursEND;

a) for update clause:1) use explicit locking to deny access for the duration of a transaction2) lock the rows before update or delete

Ex : select …….From…….

For update[ of column ref] [no_wait]

b) where current of clause?1) use cursor to update or delete the current row

Where current of < column ref>

47) Attribute data types?1) %type 2) %row type.

48) Exception Handling?Is a mechanism provided by pl/sql to detect runtime errors and process them with

out halting the program abnormally

1) pre-defined2) user-defined.

PRE-DEFINED:

1) cursor_already_open--------attempted to open an already open cursor.2) Dup_val_on_index --------attempted to insert a duplicate values.3) Invalid_cursor -------- illegal cursor operation occurred.4) Invalid_number -------- conversion of character string to number fails.

5)

Login_denied ---------loging on to oracle with an invalid user nameand password.

6) program_error -------- pl/sql has an internal problem.7) storage_error -------- pl/sql ran out of memory or memory is

corrupted.8) to_many_row ---------single row select returned more than one row.9) value_error -------- arithmetic,conversion,truncation or size

constraint error occurred.10) zero_devided -------- attempted to divided by zero.

USER-DEFINED:

Declare : name the exceptionRaise : explicitly raise the exception by using the raise statements

Reference: exception handing section.

The Raise_Application_Error_Procedure:

You can use this procedure to issue user-defined error messages from stored subprograms.

You can report errors to your applications and avoid returning unhandledexceptions.Raise_Application_Error(error_number,message[,{true/false}]

Error number between -20000 to -20999




181181181181

pragma exception_init?It tells the compiler to associate an exception with an oracle error. To get an error

message of a specific oracle error.Ex: pragma exception_init(exception name, oracle error number)

Example for Exceptions?

1) Check the record is exist or not?Declare

E emp% rowtypeBegin

e.empno := &empno;select * into e from emp where empno =e.empno;Dbms_output.putline(‘empno’ || e.empno);

ExceptionWhen no_data_found thenDbms_output.putline(e.empno ||’doest exist’);

End;

2) User defined exceptions?

Define p_dept_desc =’gvreddy’ Define p_dept_number =1236

DeclareE_invalid_dept exception;

BeginUpdate departmentsSet dept_name=’&p_dept_desc’ Where dept_id =’&p_dept_number’;

If sql% not found thenRaise e_invalid_departments;

End if;Commit;

Exception

When e_invalid_departments thenDbms_output.putline(‘no such dept’);

End;49) What is REF Cursor?

To execute a multi-row query, oracle opens an unnamed work area that stores

processing information, to access the information, an explicit, which names the work

area or, a cursor variable, which points to the work area.

where as a cursor always refers to the same query work area, a cursor variable can

refer to a different work areas, cursor variable area like ‘c’ or ‘pascal’ pointers, which

hold the memory location(address) of some object instead of the object itself.

So, declaring a cursor variable creates a pointers, not an object.

50) Can u define exceptions twice in same block?No

51) Can you have two functions with the same name in a pl/sql block?Yes

52) Can you have two stored functions with in the same name?Yes

53) Can function be overload?Yes




182 182 182 182

54) What is the maximum number of statements that can be specified in atrigger statement?

One.55) Stored procedure?

Stored procedure is a sequence of statements that perform specific function.

56) What is procedure?

---- is a named pl/sql block to perform a specific task.

---- A procedure may have DML statements.

---- It may or may not return a value.

---- Procedure can return more than one value.

Example for procedure

1) To accept the year as a parameter and list emp belong to the year?

Create or replaceProcedure empy(y number) is

Cursor emp_cursor is

Select * from emp where to_char(hiredate,’yyyy’)=’y’;Emp_record emp%rowtype;Begin

For emp_record in emp_cursor loopPrint (emp_record.empno);

Print (emp_record.ename);Print (emp_record.sal);

End loop;End;

Output :var empx number;Begin

:empx := ‘1234’;End;Exec empy(:empx);Print empy;

57) What is function?

---- is a named pl/sql block to perform a specific task, is mainly used for calculation

purpose.

---- A function is called as part of an exception.

---- Every function should return a value

Example for function

Create or replaceFunction get_sal(p_id in emp.emp_no% type)

Return numberIs

v_sal emp.sal%type :=0;Begin

Select salary into v_salaryFrom emp Where emp_no = p_id;

Return v_salaryEnd get_sal;

End;




183 183 183 183

Output :var g_sal number;Exec :g_sal := get_sal(99);Print g_salary;

58) Can functions be overloaded ?

Yes.

59) Can 2 functions have same name & input parameters but differ only by

return datatype

No.

60) What is the package?

---- Group logically related pl/sql types, items and subprograms.

1) package specification

2) package body

Advantages of a package:

• Modularity• Easier Application Design• Information Hiding• Overloading

You cannot overload:•Two subprograms if their formal parameters differ only in name or parameter mode.(datatype and their total number is same).•Two subprograms if their formal parameters differ only in datatype and the differentdatatypes are in the same family (number and decimal belong to the same family)•Two subprograms if their formal parameters differ only in subtype and the differentsubtypes are based on types in the same family (VARCHAR and STRING are subtypesof VARCHAR2)

•Two functions that differ only in return type, even if the types are in differentfamilies.

61) What is FORWARD DECLARATION in Packages?

PL/SQL allows for a special subprogram declaration called a forward declaration. Itconsists of the subprogram specification in the package body terminated by asemicolon. You can use forward declarations to do the following:• Define subprograms in logical or alphabetical order.• Define mutually recursive subprograms.(both calling each other).• Group subprograms in a package

Example of forward Declaration:

CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY forward_packISPROCEDURE calc_rating(. . .); -- forward declarationPROCEDURE award_bonus(. . .)IS -- subprograms definedBEGIN -- in alphabetical ordercalc_rating(. . .);. . .END;

PROCEDURE calc_rating(. . .)IS




184184184184

BEGIN. . .END;

END forward_pack;

62) What are triggers?

---- triggers are similar to procedures, in that they are the named pl/sql blocks withdeclarative, executable and exception-handling sections, how ever a procedure isexecuted explicitly from another block via a procedure call, which can also passarguments.---- A trigger is executed implicitly when ever a particular event task places. And is

nothing but a event.---- The triggering event is a DML (insert, update, delete) operations on a data base

table----- fires whenever a data event(such as DML) or system event(such as loginor shutdown) occurs on a schema or databaseTrigger timing : 1) before

2) after3) instead of ( this is used for views)

Triggering events : 1) insert2)update3) delete

Trigger type : 1) statement level3) row level.

Firing sequence of database triggers

1) before statement trigger2) before row trigger3) after row trigger4) after statement trigger

Ex: - 1) Create or replace trigger secure_emp

BeforeInsert on emp

BeginIf (to_char(sysdate,’dy’) in(‘sat’,’sun’)) or

To_char(sysdate,’hh24:mi’)Not between ’08:00’ and ’18:00’)

Then raise_application_error(-20500,’u can insert in the office timings’)End if;End;Ex :- 2) write a program to all transitions with name smith?

Create or replaceTrigger trigger_nameBefore insert or update or delete

On empFor each rowWhen (old.ename =’smith’ or

New.ename =’smith’)Begin

Raise_application_error(-20003,’smith’);End;




185 185 185 185

63) Difference between triggers and procedures?

Defined with create trigger Defined with create procedure

The data dictionary contains sourcecode in the user_triggers.

Data dictionary contains source codein user_source

Implicitly invoked Explicitly invokedCommit, save point and rollback are notallowed(TCL)

Those are allowed

64) LOCKS?

-- Is to reduce concurrency1) share lock

---it allows the other users for only reading not to insert or update or delete.2) exclusive lock

--- only one user can have the privileges of insert or update and delete of particular object

--- others can only read.3) update lock

----multiple user can read, update deleteLock levels :

1) table level 2) table space 3) data base level.65) What is template?

a) The TEMPLATE form is the required starting point for all development of newForms.

b) The TEMPLATE form includes platform–independent attachments of severalLibraries.

APPSCORE :- It contains package and procedures that are required of all forms tosupport the MENUS ,TOOLBARS.

APPSDAYPK :- It contains packages that control the oracle applications CALENDERFEATURES.

FNDSQF :- it contains packages and procedures for MESSAGE DICTONARY, FLEXFIELDS, PROFILES AND CONCURRENT PROCESSING.

CUSTOM :- it allows extension of oracle applications forms with out modification of

oracle application code, you can use the custom library for customization such as zoom ( such as moving to another form and querying up specific records)

66) What are ad-hoc reports?Ans.: Ad-hoc Report is made to meet one-time reporting needs. Concerned with or

formed for a

particular purpose. For example, ad hoc tax codes or an ad hoc database query

67) What is responsibility?Is collection of menus, request security groups and data groups

Menus: collection of forms is nothing but menus

Request security groups: collection of programs.

Data groups: is a group of modules to be made accessible by the user through

Responsibility System adminsecuritydefine.

Securityuserdefine.

68) What are different execution methods of executables?

FlexRpt The execution file is wrnitten using the FlexReport API.

FlexSql The execution file is written using the FlexSql API.




186 186 186 186

Host The execution file is a host script.

Oracle Reports The execution file is an Oracle Reports file.

PL/SQL Stored Procedure The execution file is a stored procedure.

SQL*Loader The execution file is a SQL script.

SQL*Plus The execution file is a SQL*Plus script.

SQL*Report The execution file is a SQL*Report script.

Spawned The execution file is a C or Pro*C program.

Immediate The execution file is a program written to run as a subroutineof the concurrent manager. We recommend against definingnew immediate concurrent programs, and suggest you useeither a PL/SQL Stored Procedure or a Spawned C Programinstead.

Composite Datatypes :– PL/SQL TABLES– PL/SQL RECORDS

- Nested TABLE

-

VARRAY

69) What is the sequence of functions – group by,having,orderby in a selectstatements ?

Select…..Group by…Having…Orderby..

2. What is TCA (Trading Community Architecture)?Ans. Oracle Trading Community Architecture (TCA) is a data model that allows you tomanage complex information about the parties, or customers, who belong to yourcommercial community, including organizations, locations, and the network of hierarchical relationships among them. This information is maintained in the TCARegistry, which is the single source of trading community information forOracle E-Business Suite applications.

3. Difference between Application Developer and System Administrator?Ans.

Role of Technical Consultant:a. Designing New Forms, Programs and Reportsb. Forms and Reports customizationc. Developing Interfacesd. Developing PL/SQL stored procedurese. Workflow automations

Role of System Administrator:a. Define Logon Usersb. Define New/Custom Responsibility

Role of an Apps DBA:a. Installing of Applicationb. Upgradationc. Migrationd. Patchese. Routing maintenance of QAf. Cloning of OA

4. What are Flexfields?Ans. A Flexfield is a customizable field that opens in a window from a regular OracleApplications window. Defining flexfields enables you to tailor Oracle Applications to yourown business needs. By using flexfields, you can:

(a) Structure certain identifiers required by oracle applications according to your ownbusiness environment.

(b) Collect and display additional information for your business as needed.Key Flexfields: You use key flexfields to define your own structure for many of theidentifiers required by Oracle Applications. Profile – ‘Flexfields:Open Key Window’ (FND_ID_FLEXS)




188 188 188 188

Descriptive Flexfield: You use descriptive flexfields to gather additional information aboutyour business entities beyong the information required by Oracle Applications. Profile –Flexfields: Open Descr Window’ (FND_DESCRIPTIVE_FLEXS)

5. Report registration process?Ans.

1. Create the report using the report builder.2.

Place the report definition file in the module specific reports directory.

3. Create an executable for the report definition file.4. Create a concurrent program to that executable.5. Associate the concurrent program to a request group.

6. User exits in Reports?Ans. USER EXITS are used in Oracle APPS to access user profile values and perform propercalculation.Ex. of Other AOL User exits available in Reports are given below.

FND SRWINIT - This is a User Exit which sets your profile option values and allows OracleAOL user exits to detect that they have been called by oracle repots. Can be used inBEFORE-REPORT Trigger.

FND_SRWEXIT - This user exit ensures that all the memory allocated forAOL user exits has been freed up properly. Can be used in AFTER- REPORT Trigger

FND FORMAT_CURRENCY - To format the currency amount dynamicallydepending upon the precision of the actual currency value, standard precision, usersprofile values and location (country) of the site.

FND FLEXSQL - This user exits allows you to use Flex fields in ReportsFND FLEXIDVAL - This user exits allows you to use Flex fields in Reports

7. Request Set and Where do you define it ?Ans. Request sets allow you to submit multiple requests together using multipleexecution path. A request set is a collection of reports and /or programs that aregrouped together.

A stage is a component of a request set used to group requests within the set. All of therequests in a given stage are executed in parallel. Advantages of stages are the ability toexecute several requests in parallel and then move sequentially to the next stage.Responsibility: System AdministratorNav: Concurrent -> Set

7(A). Define Request Group?Ans. A request security group is the collection of requests, request sets, and concurrentprograms that a user, operating under a given responsibility, can select from the SubmitRequests window.

8. Registration of PL/SQL with parameters?Ans.

1. Create the procedure in the module specific schema.2. Create a public synonym for that procedure in the Apps schema.3. Create the executable for that procedure.4. Create a concurrent program.5. Attach the concurrent program to that procedure.

Note: There are two mandatory parameters 1. Errbuf 2. Retcode. Any parameterwhich are to be passed should be succeeded with these two parameters and have to beregistered. When calling the procedure, these two parameters are not mentioned.




189 189 189 189

9. How many groups in Matrix Report?Ans. The minimum of groups required for a matrix report are 4.

10. Lexical Parameters and Bind Parameters?Ans.

Lexical references are placeholders for text that you embed in a SELECT statement. You

can use lexical references to replace the clauses appearing after SELECT, FROM, WHERE,GROUP BY, ORDER BY, HAVING, CONNECT BY, and START WITH. You create a lexicalreference by entering an ampersand (&) followed immediately by the column orparameter name.

Bind references (or bind variables) are used to replace a single value in SQL or PL/SQL,such as a character string, number, or date. Specifically, bind references may be usedto replace expressions in SELECT, WHERE, GROUP BY, ORDER BY, HAVING, CONNECTBY, and START WITH clauses of queries. Bind references may not be referenced inFROM clauses or in place of reserved words or clauses. You create a bind reference byentering a colon (:) followed immediately by the column or parameter name.

11. Value Sets?Ans. Oracle Application Object Library uses values, value sets and validation tables asimportant components of key flexfields, descriptive flexfields, FlexBuilder, and Standard

Request Submission.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 tovalidate each of your segments. The decisions you make affect how you define yourvalue sets and your values.

You define your value sets first, either before or while you define your flexfieldsegment structures. You typically define your individual values only after your flexfieldhas been completely defined (and frozen and compiled). Depending on what type of value set you use, you may not need to predefine individual values at all before you canuse your flexfield.

You can share value sets among segments in different flexfields, segments indifferent structures of the same flexfield, and even segments within the same flexfieldstructure. You can share value sets across key and descriptive flexfields. You can also

use value sets for report parameters for your reports that use the Standard ReportSubmission feature.

12. Incompatibility in report registration and Run Alone?

Ans. Identify programs that should not run simultaneously with your concurrentprogram because they might interfere with its execution. You can specify your programas being incompatible with itself.

Application: Although the default for this field is the application of your concurrentprogram, you can enter any valid application name.

Name: The program name and application you specify must uniquely identify aconcurrent program. Your list displays the user-friendly name of the program, the shortname, and the description of the program.

Scope: Enter Set or Program Only to specify whether your concurrent program isincompatible with this program and all its child requests (Set) or only with this program(Program Only).

Run Alone: Indicate whether your program should run alone relative to all otherprograms in the same logical database. If the execution of your program interferes withthe execution of all other programs in the same logical database (in other words, if yourprogram is incompatible with all programs in its logical database, including itself), itshould run alone.

15. Customer Interface?

Ans. Use Customer Interface to import and validate current or historical customerinformation from other systems into Receivables. Once customer information is importedinto Oracle Receivables, you can use Customer Interface to import additional data forthat customer (such as additional contacts or addresses) and to update existinginformation. You can also manually update and enter new information using theCustomer windows.The following diagram shows how customer information is imported into the OracleReceivables tables.

16. Multi Org?Ans.

Business Group (each one own Set of Books)

Legal Entity (Post to a Set of Books)

Operating Units

Inventory Organizations

Manufacturing Modules (Order Entry, Purchasing, MRP etc.)

Financial Modules

17. What are Profiles?Ans. A user profile is a set of changeable options that affect the way your applicationlooks and behaves. As System Administrator, you control how Oracle Applicationsoperate by setting user profile options to the values you want. You can set user profileoptions at four different levels: site, application, responsibility, and user. Your settings

affect users as soon as they sign on or change responsibility.Navigation Path:

Login – System Administrator -> Profile -> System

Examples:Signon Password Hard to Guess

Signon Password Length

Set of Books Name

Flexfields: Autoskip

18. Employee Details?Ans. Enter employee records. Either your Human Resources department entersemployee information in the People window (if HRMS is installed), or the appropriate

department enters employee information in the Enter Person window. To ensure thatPayables can create a supplier record during Invoice Import, the following arerequirements for each employee record:

• the employee name is unique• reimbursement address for either Home or Office exists• address lines 1-3 for the home address do not exceed 35 characters• City/State/Country does not exceed 25 characters• Zip Code for the home address does not exceed 20 characters

19. What is the Multi Org and what is it used for?Ans. Multi Org or Multiple Organizations Architecture allows multiple operating units andtheir relationships to be defined within a single installation of Oracle Applications. Thiskeeps each operating unit's transaction data separate and secure. Use the followingquery to determine if Muli Org is intalled: “select multi_org_flag from

fnd_product_groups;”

20. AR Invoice Tables?Ans. When you enter an invoice either through the Transaction window or through theAutoInvoice program, Receivables uses the following tables to store your invoiceinformation:

RA_CUSTOMER_TRXRA_CUSTOMER_TRX_LINESRA_CUST_TRX_LINE_GL_DISTAR_PAYMENT_SCHEDULES

21. Bitmap Report?Ans. Bitmapped reports are output as PostScript files. The PostScript file is a set of instructions telling the printer exactly what to print and how to print it. To get alandscape report, the Post Script file must be generated as landscape. If you want alandscape bitmapped report, specify this either in the Reports Designer or in theexecution options of your concurrent program. When printing bitmapped reports, a printstyle is still needed to determine the printer driver used. To avoid confusion, create aspecial print style for bitmapped reports and make that the required style for allbitmapped reports in the Define Concurrent Programs form.

22. Difference between character and bitmap report?Ans.Bitmap vs. Character-Mode Report Design

Here is an example to help explain how Oracle Reports are designed and printed in boththe bitmap and character-mode environments.

Assume you wish to print "Cc" where "C" is a different font and a larger point size than"c" and is in boldface type (where "c" is not).

In Oracle Reports Designer, bitmap mode, you can make "C" bold and in a different font

and point size than "c". This is because you are generating postscript output. Postscriptis a universal printer language and any postscript printer is able to interpret yourdifferent design instructions.

In Oracle Reports Designer, character mode, the APPLICATIONS STANDARDS REQUIREthe report to be designed in ONE FONT/ ONE CHARACTER SIZE. Character modereports generate ASCII output. In ASCII you cannot dynamically change the font andcharacter size. The standard is in effect so a report prints as identically as possible fromboth conventional and postscript printers.

Bitmap vs. Character-Mode Report Printing

These sequences contrast the two printing environments. In postscript, "C" can be in adifferent font and point size than "c". Both or either could also be bold, for example.

In ASCII, "C" must be in the same font and character size as "c". Both or either couldalso be bold, for example.

23. What is difference between .rdf and .rep?Ans. Report definition file <report name>.rdf

Report runfile <report name>.rep

24. Module related Flex fields?Ans.

Key Flexfields Descriptive Flex fieldsGeneral Ledger - Accounting Flex field Daily RatesAssets - Asset Category Flexfield Bonus RatesReceivables - Sales Tax Location Credit History Information

Territory Flex field

25. Difference between Global segments and Context-Sensitive segments?Ans. Gobal Segments: Global segments are segments that appear regardless of context.Columns used for global segments cannot hold an context-sensitive segments.

Context-Sensitive segments: Context-Sensitive segments occur depending on thecontext.26. Data conversion Vendor data effected tables?Ans.

1. PO_VENDORS2. PO_VENDOR_SITES_ALL3. PO_VENDOR_CONTACTS

29. Report Triggers?Ans.

1. BEFORE PARAMETER FORM

2. AFTER PARAMETER FORM

3. BEFORE REPORT

4. BETWEEN PAGES

5. AFTER REPORT

The order of events when a report is executed is as follows:

1 Before Parameter Form trigger is fired.2 Runtime Parameter Form appears (if not suppressed).3 After Parameter Form trigger is fired (unless the user cancels from the Runtime

Parameter Form).4 Report is "compiled."5 Queries are parsed.6 Before Report trigger is fired.7 SET TRANSACTION READONLY is executed (if specified via the READONLY

argument or setting).8 The report is executed and the Between Pages trigger fires for each page except

the last one. (Note that data can be fetched at any time while the report is beingformatted.) COMMITs can occur during this time due to any of the following--user exit with DDL, SRW.DO_SQL with DDL, or if ONFAILURE=COMMIT, and the

report fails.9 COMMIT is executed (if READONLY is specified) to end the transaction.10 After Report trigger is fired.11 COMMIT/ROLLBACK/NOACTION is executed based on what was specified via the

ONSUCCESS argument or setting.

30. Define Alerts in Apps?Ans. Oracle Alerts are used to monitor unusual or critical activity within a designateddatabase. The flexibility of ALERTS allows a database administrator the ability tomonitor activities from tablespace sizing to activities associated with particularapplications (i.e. AP, GL, FA).Alerts can be created to monitor a process in the database and to notify a specificindividual of the status of the process. There are 2 types of alerts: Event Alerts andPeriodic Alerts

a) EVENT ALERTS are triggered when an event or change is made to a table in thedatabase.

b) PERIODIC ALERTS are activated on a scheduled basis to monitor database activities orchanges.

31. Steps to Create a Bit Map Report?Ans.

1.Build the query2.Draw the layout3. Close the Layout Editor window. Under Data Model, open up the 'SystemParameters'

4.Right Click on 'MODE' and select 'Properties' Enter 'BITMAP' as the 'Initial Value'and click OK. Save the report - call it 'first.rdf'.5. Copy the report file in the appropriate directory.6. Set the FORMAT to POSTSCRIPT and style as A4. in the concurrent program.

32. What is Token and used for?Ans.

Token in Concurrent Program creation : For a parameter in an Oracle Reports program,the keyword or parameter appears here. The value is case insensitive. For other types of programs, you can skip this field.

Procedure:Defines an error token and substitutes it with a value. Calls to TOKEN ( ) and RAISE ( )raise predefined errors for Oracle Workflow that are stored in the WF_RESOURCES table.The error messages contain tokens that need to be replaced with relevant values whenthe error message is raised. This is an alternative to raising PL/SQL standard exceptionsor custom-defined exceptions.Syntax procedure TOKEN

(token_name in varchar2,

token_value in varchar2);

33. Difference between function and procedure?Ans. Procedures and functions consists of set of PL/SQL statements that are groupedtogether as a unit of solve a specific problem or perform set of related tasks.

Procedures do not return values which functions return one One Value.

Packages: Packages provide a method of encapsulating and storing related procedures,functions, variables and other package contents.34. Form registration setps?Ans.

1. Create the form using the form builder.2. Generate the executable code (.fmx)

3.

Place the .fmb file in AU_TOP forms directory4. Place the .fmx file in Module specific top forms directory.5. Register the form with AOL6. Associate a form function for the form7. Attach the form function to a menu

39. Form and Non-Form function?Ans.Form (Form Function): A form function (form) invokes an Oracle Forms form. Formfunctions have the unique property that you may navigate to them using the Navigatewindow.

Subfunction (Non-Form Function): A non-form function (subfunction) is a securable

subset of a form's functionality: in other words, a function executed from within a form.Statement Printing AR Source files : ARXGSP internally calling ARXSGPO
