9. Q: What are the steps involved in adding a custom program to Oracle Applications?a) Develop a concurrent program or report.b) Identify the corresponding executable and register it with the application.c) Create a concurrent program and its parameters.d) Add a concurrent program to a request set.

10.Q: How do you register a printer? To add a new printer, go to Install Printer Register.11.Q: What is a Flexfield? How many types of Flexfields exist? A Flexfield is a field made

up of segments. Each segment has an assigned name and a list of valid values. Two typesof Flexfields exist: Key Flexfields and Descriptive Flexfields (DFFs).

12.Q: What is a Key Flexfield? A Key Flexfield is a unique identifier that is made up ofmeaningful segments to identify GL account numbers and item numbers. KeyFlexfields are usually stored in SEGMENT1...SEGMENTn database columns.

Some examples would be Item No 34H-AFR-223-112.G and GL Account No:100-00-1000-324-11100.

For an example GL Account, segments could be identified as Organization, Cost Center,Account, Product, Product Line.

13.Q: What are the Key Flexfields in Oracle Applications? The following table lists someof the Key Flexfields available in Oracle Applications.

14.Q: What is a Descriptive Flex Field? A DFF lets you define the custom fields into OracleApplication forms without customizing the program code. DFFs in forms are representedby a "beer mug" field (a single space field enclosed by brackets) that looks like thefollowing symbol: [ ]. They are usually stored in ATTRIBUTE1...ATTRIBUTEn

database columns. DFFs can also be used to accept report parameters.

15.Q: What types of segments can be set up for DFFs? Global or context-sensitive.16.Q: What is a value set? A value set is a list of values validated against segments. You

can create a value set and assign it to a Flexfield segment.

17.Q: How many validation types are there? Six validation types exist:none, dependent,independent, table, special, and pair.

18.Q: What are the required and optional steps for setting up Flexfields? The requiredsteps are as follows: define the value sets, define the structures, and define the values, ifneeded. The optional steps are as follows: define the security rules, define the cross-validation rules, and define the shorthand aliases, if necessary.

19.Q: Can you define cross-validation rules for DFFs? No, you cannot. You can only definethem for Key Flexfields.

20.Q: Can a value set be shared between Flexfields? Yes, value sets can be shared betweenFlexfields.

21.Q: Can a value set be shared within a Flexfield structure? No, value sets cannot beshared between segments within a Flexfield as long as they do not carry the same type ofinformation. For example, date information can be shared between segments within aFlexfield.

22.Q: What are the advanced validation options? Three types of advanced validationoptions are available. $PROFILES$, which references the current value of a profileoption. An example would be $PROFILES$.profile_option_name. Block.field, whichreferences the block field. $FLEX$, which refers to the current value of a previously


19/31

used value set. An example would be $FLEX$.value_set_name (cascadingdependencies).

23.Q: What is the next step after defining the segments for Flexfields? Freezing andcompiling the structure.

24.Q: What are the steps required to set up value security rules? Make sure security isenabled, define rules for the value set, and assign rules to the user's responsibility.

25.Q: What is Oracle Alert? Oracle Alert is an exception reporting system. It keeps youinformed on an as-needed basis. It also communicates with other users through e-mailregarding exception messages.

26.Q: How many types of alerts are there? Two types of alerts exist: Periodic Alerts andEvent Alerts. Periodic Alerts fire at a time interval, and Event Alerts are fired by databasetable changes.

27.Q: What are Quick Codes? Quick Codes, also known as Quickpicks, are standard sets ofuser-defined values. Lookup is a combination of a code and a description. The lookuptables are generally populated by the scripts located in /install/odf directory.

28.Q: What is an Open Interface in Oracle Applications? Open Interface, also known asthe Application Programmer Interface (API), is a process whereby the OracleApplications are linked with external or legacy systems. Open Interface works as atemporary staging area to load the external information into Oracle Applications tables.Once the data is validated, it sends the information to the permanent tables. Rejectedtransactions can be corrected and resubmitted.

29.Q: Which schema has complete access to the Oracle Applications data model? TheAPPS schema. AutoInstall automatically sets the FNDNAM environment variable to thename of the APPS schema.

30.Q: What is the top directory in Oracle Applications? $APPL_TOP.31.Q: What is a product top directory? It starts with the product shortname and is suffixed

with TOP, such as TOP. For example, General Ledger's top directory is GL_TOP.

32.Q: What are the log and output directory names for a product group? The productgroup environment file sets the APPLLOG variable to log and APPLOUT to out. For

example, the output directory for General Ledger is $GL_TOP/$APPLOUT. For log, it is$GL_TOP/_$APPLLOG.

33.Q: What data dictionary tables do you use to obtain detailed informationregarding? You can write a query by joining the FND_TABLE and FND__COLUMNStables. FND_INDEXES and FND_INDEX_COLUMNS tables are part of the datadictionary. All the FND_ table names are self-explanatory.


20/31

34.Q: What are the primary underlying tables for concurrentprocessing? FND_CONCURRENT_PROGRAMS,FND_CONCURRENT__REQUESTS, FND_CONCURRENT_PROCESSES, andFND_CONCURRENT_QUEUES tables.

35.Q: What are the primary underlying tables forFlexfields? FND_DESCR_FLEX_CONTEXTS,FND_FLEX_VALIDATION__RULES, FND_FLEX_VALUE_SETS, FND_ID_FLEXS,FND_ID__FLEX_SEGMENTS, and FND_ID_FLEX_STRUCTURES tables.

36.Q: What is the primary underlying table for AOL QuickCodes? FND_LOOKUPS table.37.Q: What is the application dummy table used by a form block? FND_DUAL table.38.Q: What is the main underlying table for Profile Options? FND_PROFILE_OPTIONS table.39.Q: What are the main prerequisites for creating a custom application or

responsibility? Set up a directory structure for a custom application, and define anenvironment variable that translates to your application base path.

40.Q: What are the WHO columns? WHO columns are used to track the changes to yourdata in the application tables. WHO columns exist in all Oracle Applications standardtables. The following five are considered WHO columns:

Column NameCREATED_BYCREATION_DATELAST_UPDATED_BYLAST_UPDATE_DATELAST_UPDATE_LOGIN

41.Q: Do I need to have WHO column information in custom forms? Yes. It is stronglyrecommended to add WHO columns to the custom tables and call standard API,FND_STANDARD.SET_WHO in PRE-INSERT, and PRE-UPDATE triggers in eachblock of the form. Also, specify these fields as hidden in each block of the form.

42.Q: What are the additional WHO columns used for concurrent programs? Concurrentprograms use all the following WHO inncluding the following four.

Column NamePROGRAM_APPLICATION_IDPROGRAM_IDPROGRAM_UPDATE_DATE


21/31

43.Q: Can you disable the WHO columns' information in a form block? Yes. You candisable HELP -> ABOUT THIS RECORD information within a block. Call the followingprocedures in a block level WHEN-NEW-BLOCK-INSTANCE

Trigger:app_standard.event('WHEN-NEW-BLOCK-INSTANCE');app_standard.enable('ABOUT','PROPERTY_OFF');

44.Q: How do you register your custom tables in PL/SQL? You can use AD_DD package toregister custom tables in PL/SQL.

45.Q: How do you define the passing arguments in SQL/PLUS and PL/SQL concurrentprograms? You must name your passing arguments as &1, &2, &3 and so on.

46.Q: How do you call your custom reports from a form? You can call your customOracle reports in a form using the FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST procedure.

47.Q: What is a template form? A template form is a starting point for the development ofcustom forms. Copy the Template.fmb file from $AU_TOP/forms/US directory to yourlocal directory and rename it.

48.Q: Which libraries are attached to the template form? The following main libraries aredirectly attached to the template form. APPCORE contains packages and procedures forstandard menus, toolbars, and so on. APPDAYPK contains a calendar package. FNDSQFcontains packages and procedures for Flexfields, concurrent processing, profiles, and amessage dictionary.

49.Q: What is a calendar? A calendar is an object that lets you select the date and time. It isautomatically included in the template form. A Calendar package example would becalendar.show.

50.Q: Which template form triggers require some modifications? The ACCEPT,FOLDER_RETURN_ACTION, KEY-DUPREC, KEY-MENU, KEYCLRFRM, ON-ERROR, KEY-LISTVAL, POST-FORM, PRE-FORM, QUERY_FIND, WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE,

WHEN-NEW-BLOCK-INSTANCE, WHEN-NEWRECORD-INSTANCE, and WHEN-NEW-ITEM-INSTANCE triggers.

51.Q: Which template form triggers cannot be modified? The CLOSE_WINDOW,EXPORT, FOLDER_ACTION, KEY-COMMIT, KEY-EDIT, KEY-EXIT, KEY-HELP,


22/31

LASTRECORD, WHEN-WINDOW-CLOSED, WHENFORM-NAVIGATE, and ZOOMtriggers.

52.Q: What are the main template files for Pro*C concurrent programs? The maintemplate files are EXMAIN.c and EXPROG.c .

53.Q: What is the Oracle-recommended application short name for extensions? Oraclerecommends an application short name begin with XX. As an example, extensions toOracle Purchasing would be XXPO.

54.Q: Where do you maintain the list of your custom programs? All custom programsshould be listed in the applcust.txt file. This file is located in the $APPL_TOP/admindirectory. When you apply the patches, Oracle Applications uses this file forinformational purposes.

55.Q: What are the steps involved in modifying an existing form? First, you identify theexisting file and then you copy the file to a custom application directory, making sure torename it. You then make the necessary modifications, generate the form, and documentit in the custom program list using applcust.txt file.

56.Q: Where do you maintain database customizations? You can maintain all your tablechanges by creating a new schema. You can use your custom application short name(such as XXPO) as your Oracle schema name for easy identification. The new schemamust be registered in the Oracle AOL.

57.Q: Can you create extensions to Oracle Applications without modifying the standardform code? Yes. This can be done using the CUSTOM library, which is an Oracle Forms

PL/SQL library. You can integrate your custom code directly with Oracle Applicationswithout making changes to your Oracle Applications forms code. The CUSTOM libraryis located in the $AU_TOP/res/plsql directory. Once you write the code, you compile andgenerate the CUSTOM procedures to make your changes.


23/31

58.Q: When do you use the CUSTOM library? You can use the CUSTOM library in avariety of cases. You can use it to incorporate Zoom logic, logic for generic events, logicfor product-specific events, and to add entries for the special menu.

59..60. What is the Diff between APPS Schema and other Schemas?

Apps schema contains only Synonyms we can't create tables in apps schema, whereas other schemas contains tables, & all the objects. Here only we will create thetables and giving grants on created tables. Almost all every time we will connect toapps schema only.

A summary column performs a computation on another column's data. Using theReport Wizard or Data Wizard, you can create the following summaries: sum,

average, count, minimum, maximum, % total. You can also create a summarycolumn manually in the Data Model view, and use the Property Palette to create thefollowing additionalsummaries: first, last, standard deviation, variance.

Ans. Oracle Trading Community Architecture (TCA) is a data model that allows youto manage complex information about the parties, or customers, who belong to yourcommercial community, including organizations, locations, and the network ofhierarchical relationships among them. This information is maintained in the TCARegistry, which is the single source of trading community information for Oracle E-

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.

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 theSubmit Requests window.

Ans.Oracle Application Object Library uses values, value sets and validation tables asimportant components of key flex fields, descriptive flex fields, Flex Builder, andStandard Request Submission.When you first define your flex fields, you choose how many segments you want touse 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 flex fieldsegment structures. You typically define your individual values only after your flex

field has been completely defined (and frozen and compiled). Depending on whattype of value set you use, you may not need to predefine individual values at allbefore you can use your flex field.You can share value sets among segments in different flex fields, segments indifferent structures of the same flex field, and even segments within the same flexfield structure. You can share value sets across key and descriptive flex fields. Youcan also use value sets for report parameters for your reports that use the StandardReport Submission feature.Navigation Path:

Ans.Identify programs that should not run simultaneously with your concurrent programbecause they might interfere with its execution. You can specify your program asbeing 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, theshort name, and the description of the program.Scope: Enter Set or Program Only to specify whether your concurrent program iszincompatible with this program and all its child requests (Set) or only with thisprogram (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 interfereswith the execution of all other programs in the same logical database (in otherwords, if your program is incompatible with all programs in its logical database,including itself), it should run alone.
