Oracle app’s technical document 1) What is ERP? Architecture of apps?

A packaged business software system that lets a company automate and integrate the majority of its business processes; share common data and practices across the enterprise; [and] produce and access information in a real-time environment. 2) Tell me some thing about SQL-LOADER. Sql * loader is a bulk loader utility used for moving data from external files into the oracle database. Sql * loader supports various load formats, selective loading, and multitables loads. 1) conventional --The conventional path loader essentially loads the data by using standard ‘insert’ statement. 2) direct -- the direct path loader (direct = true) by possess of logic involved with that, and loads directly in to the oracle data files. EX:My data.csv file 1001, “scott tiger”,1000,40 1002,”gvreddy”,2345,50

Load data Infile ‘c:\data\mydata.csv’ Into table emp 1

Sanjay Challagundla ………….. [email protected]

Fields terminated by “,” optionally enclosed by ‘”’ (empno, empname,sal,deptno) >sqlldr scott/tiger@vis control=loader.ctl log= gvlog.log bad=gvbad.bad discard=gvdis.dsc . 3) how do u dump data from pl/sql block to flat files? Using utl_file package, we can dump data from pl/sql block to flat file. PRE-REQUIREMENTS for UTL_FILE is specify the accessible directories for the UTL_FILE function in the initialization file (INIT.ORA) Using the UTL_FILE_DIR parameters. Ex: UTL_FILE_DIR = EX:--remember to update INITSID.ORA, --utl_file_dir = ‘c:\oradata’ Declare Fp utl_file.file_type; Begin Fp := utl_file.fopen(c:\oradata’,tab1.txt’,’w’); Utl_file.putf(fp,’%s %s \n ‘text field’, 55); Utl_file.fclose(fp); End;

4) What is SET-OF-BOOKS? Collection of Chat of Accounts and Currency and Calendars is called SOB 4.1 ) How to compile a form in R12. $>frmcmp_batch FORM_name.fmb userid=APPS/APPS output_file=/d02/oracle/VIS12/apps/apps_st/appl/XXXXX/12.0.0 /forms/US/FORM_name.fmx module_type=form compile_all=special

4.2) How to compile a form in R11i. 1) Login to the Forms server node as applmgr and set the applications environment (this is important). 2) Change directory to $AU_TOP/forms/US (even this is important).

2

Sanjay Challagundla ………….. [email protected] 3) Use the “f60gen” command to generate the fmx files for the fmb files. $ f60gen module=.fmb userid=apps/ output_file=/forms/US/.fmx “f60gen” is for Unix. On Windows the command is ifcmp60.exe

Qns: Where do I pick the fmb files delivered by oracle? Ans: These are picked from $AU_TOP/forms/uso

5) What is the interface? Interface Table is a table which is used as medium for transfer of data between two systems. 6) What is invoice? Send you a request for payment 7) What is INBOUND and OUT BOUND? (Different types of interfaces) Inbound Interface: For inbound interfaces, where these products are the destination, interface tables as well as supporting validation, processing, and maintenance programs are provided.

Outbound Interface: For outbound interfaces, where these products are the source, database views are provided and the destination application should provide the validation, processing, and maintenance programs 8) Tell me what r the Base tables in the AR? hz_parties

(party_id)

(store info about org, groups and people)

HZ_PARTIES stores information about parties such as organizations, people, and groups, including the identifying address information for the party.

hz_cust_accounts (cust_account_id)

3

Sanjay Challagundla ………….. [email protected] HZ_CUST_ACCOUNTS stores information about customer relationships. If a party becomes a customer, information about the customer account is stored in this table. You can establish multiplecustomer relationships with a single party, so each party can have multiple customer account records in this table.

hz_cust_acct_sites_all (cust_acct_site_id) HZ_CUST_ACCT_SITES_ALL stores information about customer sites.One customer account can have multiple sites. The address is maintained in HZ_LOCATIONS.

hz_cust_site_uses_all (site_use_id) HZ_CUST_SITE_USES_ALL stores information about site uses or business purposes. A single customer site can have multiple site uses, such as bill to or ship to, and each site use is stored as a record in this table.

hz_party_sites (party_site_id) HZ_PARTY_SITES stores information about the relationship between Parties and Locations. The same party can have multiple party sites.Physical addresses are stored in HZ_LOCATIONS.

hz_locations (location_id) HZ_LOCATIONS stores information about physical locations.

hz_Person_Profiles (person_profile_id) HZ_PERSON_PROFILES stores detail information about people.

hz_Organization_Profiles (organization_profile_id) HZ_ORGANIZATION_PROFILES stores credit rating, financial statistics, socioeconomic and corporate linkage information for business sites. The primary key for this table is ORGANIZATION_PROFILE_ID.

9) What r the table’s interface tables in the customer interface tables? 1) Ra_customers_interface_all This table stores customer, address, and business purpose information. You do not have to enter values in this table if you do not want to import customers, addresses, or business purposes. ADDRESS1 through 4 Enter the address for your customer in these four columns. You can enter up to four lines of an address. Validation:

4

Sanjay Challagundla ………….. [email protected] If you enter a value in ORIG_SYSTEM_ADDRESS_REF, you must enter a value in ADDRESS1. For multiple rows with the same address reference, insert values in address 1–4. Destination:

HZ_LOCATIONS.ADDRESS1, HZ_LOCATIONS.ADDRESS2, HZ_LOCATIONS.ADDRESS3, HZ_LOCATIONS.ADDRESS4

2) Ra_customer_profile_int_all A customer level profile must exist in A_CUSTOMER_PROFILES_INTERFACE for new customers and each bill–to business purpose.

What should be the batch size (number of customer records) general 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 in address 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 flexfield structure. For each row being inserted or updated in 7

Sanjay Challagundla ………….. [email protected]

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/site level profile? For every customer record in RA_CUSTOMERS_INTERFACE_ALL, insert two records in table RA_CUSTOMER_PROFILES_INT_ALL. (Refer Note: 1070800.6 ) 9. Does Customer Interface import salesperson data? No, Refer Enhancement Bug: 147495 11. Customer Interface process can be used for updating the customer information How does the UPDATE work?

19

Sanjay Challagundla ………….. [email protected]

37) 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 a pl/sql statmetns. 38) Matrix Report: Simple, Group above, Nested Simple Matrix Report : 4 groups 1.Cross Product Group 2. Row and Column Group 3. Cell Group 4. Cell column is the source of a cross product summary that becomes 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 39) 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.

40) 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 from anther 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 as records are retrieved. 20

Sanjay Challagundla ………….. [email protected]

23) What is Formula Column? A formula column performs a user-defined computation on another column(s) data, including placeholder columns. 24) 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 manually in the Data Model view, and use the Property Palette to create the following additional summaries: first, last, standard deviation, variance. 50) 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. 28) 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 Multiple statements, is called ACTIVE SET. Allows the programmer to manually control explicit cursor in the Pl/sql block a) declare: create a named sql area b) Open: identify the active set. c) Fetch: load the current row in to variables. d) Close: release the active set. CURSOR ATTRIBUTES a) %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 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 is

21

Sanjay Challagundla ………….. [email protected] Select empno,ename From emp; Begin Open cursor; For I in 1..10 loop Fetch emp_cursor into vno,vname; Dbms_output.putline(to_char(vno) ||’ ‘||vname); End if; E nd; 2)

Begin Open emp_cursor; Loop Fetch when emp_cursor % rowcount >10 or Emp_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 FOR emp_record IN ( SELECT empno, ename FROM emp) LOOP -- implicit open and implicit fetch occur IF emp_record.empno = 7839 THEN

22

Sanjay Challagundla ………….. [email protected] ... END LOOP; -- implicit close occurs END;

a) for update clause: 1) use explicit locking to deny access for the duration of a transaction 2) 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> 29) Attribute data types? 1) %type 2) %row type. 30) Exception Handilings? Is a mechanism provided by pl/sql to detect runtime errors and process them with out halting the program abnormally 1) pre-defined 2) 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 name and 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 exception Raise : 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 sub programs.  You can report errors to your applications and avoid returning unhandled exceptions. Raise_Application_Error(error_number,message[,{true/false}] Error number  between -20000 to -20999 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% rowtype Begin e.empno := &empno; select * into e from emp where empno =e.empno; Dbms_output.putline(‘empno’ || e.empno); Exception When no_data_found then Dbms_output.putline(e.empno ||’doest exist’); End;

2) User defined exceptions? Define p_dept_desc =’gvreddy’ Define p_dept_number =1236 Declare E_invalid_dept exception; Begin Update departments Set dept_name=’&p_dept_desc’ Where dept_id =’&p_dept_number’; If sql% not found then Raise e_invalid_departments; End if; Commit; Exception When e_invalid_departments then Dbms_output.putline(‘no such dept’); End;

52) what is REF Cursor?

24

Sanjay Challagundla ………….. [email protected]

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. 32) Can u define exceptions twice in same block? No 33) Can you have two functions with the same name in a pl/sql block? Yes 34) Can you have two stored functions with in the same name? Yes 35) Can function be overload? Yes 36) What is the maximum number of statements that can be specified in a trigger statement? One. 32) Stored procedure? Stored procedure is a sequence of statements that perform specific function. 53) 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 replace Procedure empy(y number) is 25

Sanjay Challagundla ………….. [email protected]

Cursor emp_cursor is Select * from emp where to_char(hiredate,’yyyy’)=’y’; Emp_record emp%rowtype; Begin For emp_record in emp_cursor loop Print (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; 54) 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 replace Function get_sal(p_id in emp.emp_no% type) Return number Is v_sal emp.sal%type :=0; Begin Select salary into v_salary From emp Where emp_no = p_id; Return v_salary End get_sal; End; Output : var g_sal number; Exec :g_sal := get_sal(99); Print g_salary; 26

Sanjay Challagundla ………….. [email protected] 9.Can functions be overloaded ? Yes. 10.Can 2 functions have same name & input parameters but differ only by return datatype No.

55) 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 different datatypes 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 different subtypes are based on types in the same family (VARCHAR and STRING are subtypes of VARCHAR2) •Two functions that differ only in return type, even if the types are in different families. 56) What is FORWARD DECLARATION in Packages? PL/SQL allows for a special subprogram declaration called a forward declaration. It consists of the subprogram specification in the package body terminated by a semicolon. 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_pack IS PROCEDURE calc_rating(. . .); -- forward declaration 27

Sanjay Challagundla ………….. [email protected] PROCEDURE award_bonus(. . .) IS -- subprograms defined BEGIN -- in alphabetical order calc_rating(. . .); ... END; PROCEDURE calc_rating(. . .) IS BEGIN ... END; END forward_pack;

56) What are triggers? ---- triggers are similar to procedures, in that they are the named pl/sql blocks with declarative, executable and exception-handling sections, how ever a procedure is executed explicitly from another block via a procedure call, which can also pass arguments. ---- 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 login or shutdown) occurs on a schema or database Trigger timing : 1) before 2) after 3) instead of ( this is used for views) Triggering events : 1) insert 2)update 3) delete Trigger type : 1) statement level 28

Sanjay Challagundla ………….. [email protected]

2) row level. Firing sequence of database triggers 1) before statement trigger 2) before row trigger 3) after row trigger 4) after statement trigger Ex: 1)

Create or replace trigger secure_emp Before Insert on emp

Begin If (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 replace Trigger trigger_name Before insert or update or delete On emp For each row When (old.ename =’smith’ or New.ename =’smith’) Begin Raise_application_error(-20003,’smith’); End; 57) Difference between triggers and procedures? Defined with create trigger

Defined with create procedure

29

Sanjay Challagundla ………….. [email protected]

The data dictionary contains source

Data dictionary contains source code

code in the user_triggers.

in user_source

Implicitly invoked

Explicitly invoked

Commit, save point and rollback are

Those are allowed

not allowed(TCL) 58) LOCKS? -- Is to reduce concurrency 1) 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 delete Lock levels : 1) table level 2) table space 3) data base level.

58) What is template? a) The TEMPLATE form is the required starting point for all development of new Forms. b) The TEMPLATE form includes platform–independent attachments of several Libraries. APPSCORE :- It contains package and procedures that are required of all forms to support the MENUS ,TOOLBARS. APPSDAYPK :- It contains packages that control the oracle applications CALENDER FEATURES. FNDSQF :- it contains packages and procedures for MESSAGE DICTONARY, FLEX FIELDS, 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) 59)

What are ad-hoc reports?

30

Sanjay Challagundla ………….. [email protected] 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

60) 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 adminsecuritydefine Securityuserdefine 61) What are different execution methods of executabls? FlexRpt FlexSql Host Oracle Reports PL/SQL Stored Procedure SQL*Loader SQL*Plus SQL*Report Spawned Immediate

The execution file is wrnitten using the FlexReport API. The execution file is written using the FlexSql API. The execution file is a host script. The execution file is an Oracle Reports file. The execution file is a stored procedure. The execution file is a SQL script. The execution file is a SQL*Plus script. The execution file is a SQL*Report script. The execution file is a C or Pro*C program. 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.

Composite Datatypes : – PL/SQL TABLES – PL/SQL RECORDS - Nested TABLE - VARRAY

What is the sequence of functions – group by,having,orderby in a select statements ? Select….. Group by… Having… Orderby..

Difference between User and Super User? User : login user or front end user Super user : it has full access of particular module

ANIL PASSI QUESTIONS

Question: How will you migrate Oracle General Ledger Currencies and Sets of Books Definitions fromone environment to another without reKeying? Will you use FNDLOAD? Answer: FNDLOAD can not be used in the scenario. You can use migrator available in "Oracle iSetup" Responsibility Question: This is a very tough one, almost impossible to answer, but yet I will ask. Which Form in Oracle Applications has most number of Form Functions? Answer: "Run Reports". And why not, the Form Function for this screen has a parameter to which we pass name of the "Request Group", hence securing the list of Concurrent Programs that are visible in "Run Request" Form. Just so that you know, there are over 600 form functions for "Run Reports" Question: Which responsibility do you need to extract Self Service Personalizations? Answer:Functional Administrator Question: Can you list any one single limitation of Forms Personalization feature that was delivered with 11.5.10 Answer:You can not implement interactive messages, i.e. a message will give multiple options for Response. The best you can get from Forms Personalization to do is popup up Message with OK option. Question: You have just created two concurrent programs namely "XX PO Prog1" & "XX PO Prog2". Now you wish to create a menu for Concurrent Request submission such that only these two Concurrent Programs are visible from that Run Request menu. Please explain the steps to implement this? Answer: a) Define a request group, lets say with name "XX_PO_PROGS" b) Add these two concurrent programs to the request group "XX_PO_PROGS" c) Define a new Form Function that is attached to Form "Run Reports" d) In the parameter field of Form Function screen, enter REQUEST_GROUP_CODE="XX_PO_PROGS" REQUEST_GROUP_APPL_SHORT_NAME="XXPO" TITLE="XXPO:XX_PO_PROGS" e) Attach this form function to the desired menu.

Question: Does Oracle 10g support rule based optimization? Answer: The official stance is that RBO is no longer supported by 10g.

Question: Does oracle support partitioning of tables in Oracle Apps?

32

Sanjay Challagundla ………….. [email protected] Answer: Yes, Oracle does support partitioning of tables in Oracle Applications. There are several implementations that partition on GL_BALANCES. However your client must buy licenses to if they desire to partition tables. To avoid the cost of licensing you may suggest the clients may decide to permanently close their older GL Periods, such that historical records can be archived. Note: Before running the archival process the second time, you must clear down the archive table GL_ARCHIVE_BALANCES (don’t forget to export archive data to a tape).

Question: What will be your partitioning strategy on GL_BALANCES? Your views please? Answer: This really depends upon how many periods are regularly reported upon, how many periods are left open etc. You can then decide to partition on period_name, or period ranges, or on the status of the GL Period. Question: Does Oracle support running of gather stats on SYS schema in Oracle Apps? Answer: If your Oracle Applications instance is on 10g, then you can decide to run stats for SYS schema. This can be done by exec dbms_stats.gather_schema_stats('SYS'); Alternately using command dbms_stats.gather_schema_stats('SYS',cascade=>TRUE,degree=>20); I will prefer the former with default values. If you wish to delete the stats for SYS use exec dbms_stats.delete_schema_stats('SYS'); You can schedule a dbms_job for running stats for SYS schema. Question: Can you use concurrent program "Gather Schema Statistics" to gather stats on sys schema in oracle apps? Answer: No, "Gather Schema Statistics" has no parameters for SYS schema. Please use dbms_job. Question: Which table is used to provide drill down from Oracle GL into sub-ledger? Answer: GL_IMPORT_REFERENCES

Question: What is the significance of profile option “Node Trust Level” in Oracle Apps. Answer: If this profile option is set to a value of external against a server, then it signifies that the specific mid-tier is External i.e. it will be exposed to the www. In other words this server is not within the firewall of your client. The idea behind this profile option is to flag such middle-tier so that special restrictions can be applied against its security, which means a very restricted set of responsibilities will be available from such Middle-Tier. Question: What is the significance of profile option “Responsibility Trust Level”. Answer: In order to make a responsibility accessible from an external web tier, you must set profile option “Responsibility Trust Level” at responsibility level to “External”. Only those responsibilities that have this profile option against them will be accessible from External Middle tiers. Question: What else can you suggest to restrict the access to screens from external web tiers? Answer: You may use URL filtering within Apache. Question: What is the role of Document Manager in Oracle Purchasing? Answer: POXCON is an immediate concurrent program. It receives pipe signal from the application when a request is made for approval/reservations/receipts. Question: How to debug a document manager in Oracle Apps? Answer: Document manger runs within the concurrent manager in Oracle Applications. When an application uses a Document Manager, it sends a pipe signal which is picked up by the document manager. There are two mechanisms by which to trace the document manager 1. Set the debugging on by using profile option STEP 1. Set profile option "Concurrent:Debug Flags" to TCTM1 This profile should only generate debugs when set at Site level(I think, as I have only tried site), because Document Manager runs in a different session. STEP 2. Bounce the Document Managers STEP 3. Retry the Workflow to generate debugs. STEP 4. Reset profile option "Concurrent:Debug Flags" to blank STEP 5. have a look at debug information in table fnd_concurrent_debug_info

33

Sanjay Challagundla ………….. [email protected]

2. Enable tracing for the document managers This can be done by setting profile option “Initialization SQL Statement – Custom” against your username before reproducing the issue. The value of this profile will be set so as to enable trace using event 10046, level 12.

Question: You have written a Java Concurrent Program in Oracle Apps. You want to modify the CLASSPATH such that new class CLASSPATH is effective just for this program. Answer: In the options field of the concurrent program you can enter something similar to below. -cp :/home/xxvisiondev/XXDEVDB/comn/java/appsborg.zip:/home/xxvisiondev/XXDEVDB/comn/java

Question: How will you open a bc4j package in jdeveloper? Answer: Oracle ships a file named server.xml with each bc4j package. You will need to ftp that file alongside other bc4j objects(VO’s, EO’s, AM, Classes etc). Opening the server.xml will load the complete package starting from AM(application module). This is a mandatory step when building Extensions to framework. Question: In OA Framework Self-Service screen, you wish to disable a tab. How will you do it? Answer: Generally speaking, the tabs on a OA Framework page are nothing but the SubMenus. By entering menu exclusion against the responsibility, you can remove the tab from self service page. Question: In self service, you wish to change the background color and the foreground text of the OA Framework screens to meet your corporate standards. How will you do it? Answer: You will need to do the below steps a….Go to Mid Tier, and open $OA_HTML/cabo/styles/custom.xss b…Enter below text( change colours as needed) #000066 #0000FF c… cd $OA_HTML/cabo/styles/cache d…Take a backup of all the css files. e…Delete all the files of following pattern oracle-desktop*.css The idea here is to delete the cache. Next time when you logon to Oracle Apps Self Service, the Framework will rebuild the css file if found missing for your browser. Question: Can you extend and substitue a root AM ( Application Module) in OA Framework using JDeveloper. Answer: You can extend the AM in jDeveloper, but it doesn’t work( at least it didn’t work in 11.5.9). I am hopeful that Oracle will deliver a solution to this in the future.

34

Sanjay Challagundla ………….. [email protected] Question: In a workflow notification, you have a free text response field where the user enters the Vendor Number for the new vendor. You want to validate the value entered in the notification response field upon the submission of a response. How will you do it? Answer: You will need to attach a post notification function to the Workflow Notification. The PL/SQL code will look similar to below:The below code will display an error in the notification when user attempts to create a Duplicate Vendor Number. PROCEDURE validate_response_from_notif ( itemtype IN VARCHAR2 ,itemkey IN VARCHAR2 ,actid IN NUMBER ,funcmode IN VARCHAR2 ,RESULT IN OUT VARCHAR2 ) IS l_nid NUMBER; l_activity_result_code VARCHAR2(200); v_newly_entered_vendor_num VARCHAR2(50); CURSOR c_get_response_for_new_vendor IS SELECT wl.lookup_code FROM wf_notification_attributes wna ,wf_notifications wn ,wf_message_attributes_vl wma ,wf_lookups wl WHERE wna.notification_id = l_nid AND wna.notification_id = wn.notification_id AND wn.message_name = wma.message_name AND wn.message_type = wma.message_type AND wna.NAME = wma.NAME AND wma.SUBTYPE = 'RESPOND' AND wma.format = wl.lookup_type AND wna.text_value = wl.lookup_code AND wma.TYPE = 'LOOKUP' AND decode(wma.NAME, 'RESULT', 'RESULT', 'NORESULT') = 'RESULT'; BEGIN IF (funcmode IN ('RESPOND')) THEN l_nid := wf_engine.context_nid; OPEN c_get_response_for_new_vendor; FETCH c_get_response_for_new_vendor INTO l_activity_result_code; CLOSE c_get_response_for_new_vendor; v_newly_entered_vendor_num := wf_notification.getattrtext(l_nid,'NEWLY_ENTERED_VENDOR_NUM_4_PO'); IF l_activity_result_code = 'NEW_VENDOR'

Sanjay Challagundla ………….. [email protected] AND does_vendor_exist(p_vendor => v_newly_entered_vendor_num) THEN RESULT := 'ERROR: VendorNumber you entered already exists'; RETURN; END IF; END IF; EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN RESULT := SQLERRM; END validate_response_from_notif; Question: How to make concurrent program end with warning? Answer: If the concurrent program is of type PL/SQL, you can assign a value of 1 to the “retcode” OUT Parameter. For a Java Concurrent program, use the code similar to below ReqCompletion lRC; //get handle on request completion object for reporting status lRC = pCpContext.getReqCompletion(); lRC.setCompletion(ReqCompletion.WARNING, "WARNING"); Question: How do you link a Host type concurrent program to Concurrent Manager? Answer: Assuming your executable script is LOADPO.prog, then use the commands below cd $XXPO_TOP/bin ln -s $FND_TOP/bin/fndcpesr $XXPO_TOP/bin/LOADPO Question: How do you know if a specific Oracle patch has been applied in apps to your environment. Answer: Use table ad_bugs, in which column bug_number is the patch number. SELECT bug_number ,to_char(creation_date, 'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') dated FROM apps.ad_bugs WHERE bug_number = TRIM('&bug_number') ; Question: How do you send a particular Oracle Apps Workflow Activity/Function within a workflow process into background mode. Answer: If cost of the workflow activity is greater than 50, then the workflow activity will be processed in background mode only, and it won’t be processed in online mode. Question: What are the various ways to kick-off a workflow Answer: You can eiter use wf_engine.start_process or you can attach a runnable process such ghat it subscribes to a workflow event.

36

Sanjay Challagundla ………….. [email protected]

Question: When starting (kicking off) an oracle workflow process, how do you ensure that it happens in a background mode? --a)if initiating the process using start_process, do the below wf_engine.threshold := -1; wf_engine.createprocess(l_itemtype ,l_itemkey ,''); wf_engine.startprocess(l_itemtype, l_itemkey) --B) When initiating the workflow process through an event subscription, set the Execution Condition Phase to be equal to or above 100 for it to be executed by background process. Question: On 10g, how will you use awr? Answer: By running below scripts. These are both the same scripts, but with differing parameters. $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/awrrpt.sql $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/awrrpti.sql Question : How will you configure Apache to run in Debug mode, specifically usefull when debugging iProcurement ( prior to 11.5.10). Answer: After 11.5.10, FND Logging can be used for debugging Oracle iProcurement. Prior to 11.5.10 ----STEPS IN A NUTSHELL----cd $ORACLE_HOME/../iAS/Apache vi $ORACLE_HOME/../iAS/Apache/Jserv/etc/ssp_init.txt DebugOutput=/home//ora9/iAS/Apache/Apache/logs/debug.log DebugLevel=5 DebugSwitch=ON vi $ORACLE_HOME/../iAS/Apache/Jserv/etc/jserv.conf ApJServLogLevel debug vi $ORACLE_HOME/../iAS/Apache/Jserv/etc/jserv.properties log=true Question: How will you add a new column to a List Of Values ( LOV ) in Oracle Applications Framework? Can this be done without customization? Answer: Yes, this can be done without customization, i.e. by using OA Framework Extension coupled with Personalization. Implement the following Steps :a) Extend the VO ( View Object ), to implement the new SQL required to support the LOV. b) Substitute the base VO, by using jpximport [ similar to as explained in Link ]

37

Sanjay Challagundla ………….. [email protected] c) Personalize the LOV Region, by clicking on Add New Item. While adding the new Item, you will cross reference the newly added column to VO. Question: Can you do fnd_request.submit_request from SQL Plus in Oracle? Answer: You will need to initialize the global variables first using fnd_global.initialize DECLARE v_session_id INTEGER := userenv('sessionid') ; BEGIN fnd_global.initialize ( SESSION_ID => v_session_id ,USER_ID => ,RESP_ID => ,RESP_APPL_ID => ,SECURITY_GROUP_ID => 0 ,SITE_ID => NULL ,LOGIN_ID => 3115003--Any number here ,CONC_LOGIN_ID => NULL ,PROG_APPL_ID => NULL ,CONC_PROGRAM_ID => NULL ,CONC_REQUEST_ID => NULL ,CONC_PRIORITY_REQUEST => NULL ); commit ; END ; / Optionally you may use fnd_global.apps_initialize, which internally calls fnd_global.initialize fnd_global.apps_initialize(user_id => :user_id, resp_id => :resp_id, resp_appl_id => :resp_appl_id, security_group_id => :security_group_id, server_id => :server_id); By doing the above, your global variables upon which Concurrent Managers depend upon will be populated. This will be equivalent to logging into Oracle Apps and submitting the concurrent request from a responsibility. Question: You are told that the certain steps in the Oracle Apps Form/Screen are running slow, and you are asked to tune it. How do you go about it. Answer: First thing to do is to enable trace. Preferably, enable the trace with Bind Variables. This can be done by selecting menu Help/Diagnostics/Trace/”Trace With Binds and Wait” Internally Oracle Forms issues a statement similar to below:alter session set events='10046 trace name context forever, level 12' ;

Enable Trace with Bind Variables in Apps

38

Sanjay Challagundla ………….. [email protected]

This will enable the trace with Bind Variable values being shown in the trace file. The screen in Oracle Apps will also provide the name of the trace file which is located in directly identified by select value from v$parameter where name like '%us%r%dump%' Doing a tkprof with explain plan option, reviewing plans and stats in trace file can help identify the slow performing SQL.

Question: What is the difference between running Gather Stats and “Program – Optimizer[RGOPTM]” in Oracle General Ledger? Answer: “Gather Stats” will simply gather the stats against existing tables, indexes etc. However Gather Stats does not create any new indexes. But “Program – Optimizer[RGOPTM]” can create indexes on GL_CODE_COMBINATIONS, provided accounting segment has the indexed flag enabled, Question: You have written a piece of code in POR_CUSTOM_PKG for Oracle iProcurement, but its not taking any effect? What may be the reason? Answer: Depending upon which procedure in POR_CUSTOM_PKG has been programmed, one or more of the below profile options must be set to Yes POR: Enable Req Header Customization POR: Enable Requisition Line Customization POR: Enable Req Distribution Customization Question: What is the key benefit of punching out to suppliers catalogs rather than loading their catalogs locally in Oracle iProcurement? Answer: Punchout has several advantages like, Catalogs don’t need to be loaded locally saves space on your system. You can get up-to-date list of catalogs by punching out and also you get the benefit of up-todate pricing information on vendor items.

Question: Does oracle have a test environment on exchange? Answer: http://testexchange.oracle.com

Question: Does Oracle Grants use its own schema or does it uses Oracle Project Accounting schema? Answer: Although Oracle Grants has its own schema i.e. GMS, it reuses many of the tables with in Oracle Projects Schema like PA_PROJECTS_ALL, PA_EXPENDITURE_ITEMS_ALL, PA_EXPENDITURE_TYPES etc. Question: How to make an Oracle Report Type concurrent program produce an excel friendly output? Answer: Comma can be concatenated between the column values, however a better option is to create tab delimited file, as it takes care of commas within the string. For this, use SQL similar to below in the report select 'a' || chr(9) || 'b' from dual;

Question: What are the settings needed for printing bitmap reports? Answer: Get your DBA to configure two files i.e. uiprint.txt & default.ppd For details, refer to Metalink Note 189708.1

Question: For a PL/SQL based concurrent program do you have to issue a commit at the end? Answer: The concurrent program runs within its own new session. In APPS, the default database setting enforces a commit at the end of each session. Hence no explicit COMMIT is required.

Question: What is the best way to add debugging to the code in apps? Answer: Use fnd_log.string , i.e. FND Logging. Behind the scenes Oracles FND Logging uses autonomous transaction to insert records in a table named fnd_log_messages. For example DECLARE BEGIN fnd_log.STRING(log_level => fnd_log.level_statement

39

Sanjay Challagundla ………….. [email protected] ,module => 'xxxx ' || 'pkg/procedurename ' ,message => 'your debug message here');

END ; Three profile options effecting FND Logging are FND: Debug Log Mode FND: Debug Log Enabled FND: Debug Log Module

Question: If you wish to trigger of an update or insert in bespoke table or take some action in response to a TCA record being created or modified, how would you do it? Will you write a database triggers on TCA Tables? Answer: There are various pre-defined Events that are invoked from the Oracle TCA API’s. TCA was Oracle’s first initiative towards a fully API based approach, which means the screen and the processes all use the same set of APIs for doing same task. In order to take an action when these events occur, you can subscribe a custom PL/SQL procedure or a Custom Workflow to these events. Some of the important TCA events are listed below:oracle.apps.ar.hz.ContactPoint.update oracle.apps.ar.hz.CustAccount.create oracle.apps.ar.hz.CustAccount.update oracle.apps.ar.hz.CustAcctSite.create oracle.apps.ar.hz.CustAcctSite.update oracle.apps.ar.hz.CustAcctSiteUse.create oracle.apps.ar.hz.CustAcctSiteUse.update oracle.apps.ar.hz.Location.create oracle.apps.ar.hz.Location.update oracle.apps.ar.hz.Organization.create oracle.apps.ar.hz.Organization.update oracle.apps.ar.hz.PartySite.create oracle.apps.ar.hz.PartySite.update oracle.apps.ar.hz.PartySiteUse.create oracle.apps.ar.hz.PartySiteUse.update oracle.apps.ar.hz.Person.create oracle.apps.ar.hz.Person.update

Question: In Oracle OA Framework, is the MDS page/document definition stored in database or in the file system? Answer: The MDS document details are loaded into database, in the following sets of tables. JDR_ATTRIBUTES JDR_ATTRIBUTES_TRANS JDR_COMPONENTS JDR_PATHS The Document is loaded via XMLImporter, as detailed in XMLImporter Article

Question: In a Oracle Report data group, you have a “data link” between two queries. How do you ensure that the data link is made Outer Joined? Answer: The data link is an Outer Join by default.

Question: How does substitution work in OA Framework? What are the benefits of using Substitution in OA Framework? Answer: Based on the user that has logged into OA Framework, MDS defines the context of the logged in user. Based upon this logged in context, all applicable personalization are applied by MDS. Given that substitutions are loaded as site level personalizations, MDS applies the substituted BC4J objects along with the personalizations. The above listed steps occur as soon as Root Application module has been loaded. The benefit of using Substitution is to extend the OA Framework without customization of the underlying code. This is of great help during Upgrades. Entity Objects and Validation Objects can be substituted. I think Root AM’s can’t be substituted given that substitution kicks off after Root AM gets loaded. Question: In OA Framework, once your application has been extended by substitutions, is it possible to revert back to remove those substitutions? Answer: yes, by setting profile option “Disable Self-Service Personal%” to Yes, keeping in mind that all your personalizations will get disabled by this profile option. This profile is also very useful when debugging your OA Framework based application in the event of some error. By disabling the

40

Sanjay Challagundla ………….. [email protected] personalization via profile, you can isolate the error, i.e. is being caused by your extension/substitution code or by Oracle’s standard functionality. Question: How can you import invoices into Oracle Receivables? Answer: You can either use AutoInvoice by populating tables RA_INTERFACE_LINES_ALL, RA_INTERFACE_DISTRIBUTIONS_ALL & RA_INTERFACE_SALESCREDITS_ALL. Alternately you may decide to use API ar_invoice_api_pub.create_single_invoice for Receivables Invoice Import. Question: How do you setup a context sensitive flexfield Answer: Note: I will publish a white paper to sho step by step approach. But for the purpose of your interview, a brief explanation is…a)Create a reference field, b) Use that reference field in “Context Field” section of DFF Segment screen c) For each possible value of the context field, you will need to create one record in section “Context Field Value” ( beneath the global data elements). Question: Does Oracle iProcurement use same tables as Oracle Purchasing? Answer: Yes, iProcurement uses the same set of requisition tables as are used by Core Purchasing. Question: What is the name of the schema for tables in tca Answer: AR (at least till 11.5.10, not sure about 11.5.10). Question: Are suppliers a part of TCA? Answer: Unfortunately not yet. However, Release 12 will be merging Suppliers into TCA. Question: What is the link between order management and purchasing Answer: Internal Requisitions get translated into Internal Sales Orders. Question: How would you know if the purchase order XML has been transmitted to vendor, looking at the tables. Answer: The XML delivery status can be found from a table named ecx_oxta_logmsg. Use the query below SELECT edoc.document_number ,decode(eol.result_code, 1000, 'Success', 'Failure') AS status ,eol.result_text FROM ecx_oxta_logmsg eol ,ecx_doclogs edoc ,ecx_outbound_logs eog WHERE edoc.msgid = eol.sender_message_id AND eog.out_msgid = edoc.msgid ORDER BY edoc.document_number Question: You have done forms personalization, now how will you move it from one environment to another? Answer: Use FNDLOAD. For examples visit FNDLOAD Article Question: What are the key benefits of forms personalization over custom.pll? Answer: -->Multiple users can develop forms personalization at any given point in time. -->It is fairly easy to enable and disable forms personalizations. -->A programmer is not required to do simple things such as hide/disable fields or buttons. -->Provides more visibility on customizations to the screen. Question: Tell me some limitations of forms personalization when compared to CUSTOM.pll? Answer: -->Can't create record group queries, hence can’t implement LOV Query changes. -->Can't make things interactive, i.e. can’t have a message box that gives multiple choices for example Proceed or Stop etc.

Question: Give me one example where apps uses partitioning? Answer: WF_LOCAL_ROLES

41

Sanjay Challagundla ………….. [email protected] Question: Give me one example of securing attributes in iProcurement. Answer: You can define Realm to bundle suppliers into a Category. Such realm can then be assigned to the User using Define User Screen. Security Attribute ICX_POR_REALM_ID can be used. By doing so, the user will only be made visible those Punchout suppliers that belong to the realm against their securing attributes. Question: Can you send blob attachments via workflow notifications? Answer: Yes, you can send BLOB Attachments. For details on how to do this, refer to link for BLOG atachments to notifications

E-mail| Print |PDF

Which is the most commonly used package in apps that uses Autonomous Transaction? FND_LOG, this is used for debugging. This has a procedure named string, which does a commit. Hence your debug messages are not lost in the event of rollback during unhandled exception.

What is one of the limitations of Forms Personalization? You can not display interactive messages as you can using fnd_message

How to use Flexfields in reports ?

42

Sanjay Challagundla ………….. [email protected] Ans : Most common way is to use FND user exits provided by oracle applications. Other way is to directly use the DB views (TableName || ‘_KFV’ or ’_DFV’) created by apps, and use the concatenated_segments column which holds the concatenated segments of the key or descriptive flexfields.

What are Autonomous transactions ? Give a scenario where you have used Autonomous transaction in your reports ? Ans: An autonomous transaction is an independent transaction started by another transaction, the main transaction. Autonomous transactions let you suspend the main transaction, do SQL operations, commit or roll back those operations, then resume the main transaction. Once started, an autonomous transaction is fully independent. It shares no locks, resources, or commit-dependencies with the main transaction. So, you can log events, increment retry counters, and so on, even if the main transaction rolls back.

More important, autonomous transactions help you build modular, reusable software components. For example, stored procedures can start and finish autonomous transactions on their own. A calling application need not know about a procedure's autonomous operations, and the procedure need not know about the application's transaction context. That makes autonomous transactions less error-prone than regular transactions and easier to use.

43

Sanjay Challagundla ………….. [email protected] Furthermore, autonomous transactions have all the functionality of regular transactions. They allow parallel queries, distributed processing, and all the transaction control statements including SET TRANSACTION.

Scenario : You can use autonomous transaction in your report for writing error messages in your database tables.

What is record group ? Ans: Record group are used with LOVs to hold sql query for your list of values. The record group can contain static data as well it can access data from database tables thru sql queries.

What is a FlexField ? What are Descriptive and Key Flexfields ? Ans: An Oracle Applications field made up of segments. Each segment has an assigned name and a set of valid values. Oracle Applications uses flexfields to capture information about your organization.

44

Sanjay Challagundla ………….. [email protected] What are different report triggers and what is their firing sequence ? Ans. : There are five report trigger : •

Before Report

•

After Report

•

Before Parameter Form

•

After Parameter Form

•

Between Pages

The Firing sequence for report triggers is Before Parameter Form – After Parameter Form – Before Report – Between Pages – After Report.

What is the use of cursors in PL/SQL ? What is REF Cursor ? Ans. : The cursor are used to handle multiple row query in PL/SQL. Oracle uses implicit cursors to handle all it’s queries. Oracle uses unnamed memory spaces to store data used in implicit cursors, with REF cursors you can define a cursor variable which will point to that memory space and can be used like pointers in our 3GLs.

45

Sanjay Challagundla ………….. [email protected] How to attach reports in Oracle Applications ? Ans: The steps are as follows : •

Design your report in D2K

•

Generate the executable file of the report as

.rdf. •

Move the executable as well as source file to

the appropriate product’s folder. •

Register the report as concurrent executable.

•

Define the concurrent program for the

executable registered. •

Add the concurrent program to the request

group of the responsibility.

What is the use of triggers in Forms ? Ans : Triggers are used in forms for event handling. You can write PL/SQL code in triggers to respond to a particular event occurred in your forms like when user presses a button or when he commits the form. The different type of triggers available in forms are : •

Key-triggers

•

Navigational-triggers

46

Sanjay Challagundla ………….. [email protected] •

Transaction-triggers

•

Message-triggers

•

Error-triggers

•

Query based-triggers

What is the use of Temp tables in Interface programs ? Ans : Temporary tables are used in Interface programs to hold the intermediate data. The data is loaded into temporary tables first and then, after validating through the PL/SQL programs, the data is loaded into the interface tables.

What are the steps to register concurrent programs in Apps ? Ans : The steps to register concurrent programs in apps are as follows : •

Register the program as concurrent

executable. •

Define the concurrent program for the

executable registered. •

Add the concurrent program to the request

group of the responsibility

How to pass parameters to a report ? do you have to register them with AOL ? Ans: You can define parameters in the define concurrent program form. There is no need to register the parameters with AOL. But you may have to register the value sets for those parameters.

Do you have to register feeder programs of interface to AOL ? Ans : Yes ! you have to register the feeder programs as concurrent programs to Apps.

What are forms customization steps ? Ans: The steps are as follows : •

Copy the template.fmb and Appstand.fmb

from AU_TOP/forms/us.Put it in custom directory. The libraries (FNDSQF, APPCORE, APPDAYPK, GLOBE, CUSTOM, JE, JA, JL, VERT) are automatically attached .

•

Create or

open new Forms. Then customize.

•

Save this Form in Corresponding Modules.

What is Key and Descriptive Flexfield. Ans : Key Flexfield: #unique identifier, storing key information # Used for entering and displaying key information. For example Oracle General uses a key Flexfield called Accounting Flexfield to uniquely identifies a general account.

Descriptive Flexfield: # To Capture additional information. # to provide expansion space on your form With the help of [] . [] Represents descriptive Flexfield. Difference between Key and Descriptive Flexfield? Ans :

Key Flexfield

Descriptive Flefield

1. Unique Identifier

1.To capture extra information

2. Key Flexfield are stored in segment

2.Stored in attributes

3.For key flexfield there are flexfield
