Oracle Reports

1. What is a Lexical Parameter?

Lexical parameters are used to substitute multiple values at runtime and are identified by a preceding ‘&’. Lexicals can consist of as little a one line where clause to an entire select statement

Lexical Parameters are used to execute query dynamically.

Example: An example of a lexical parameter usage in a select statement is as follows

Select * from emp, deptno

&where.

In the properties of the 'where' user parameter, make sure that the data type of the 'where' user parameter is set as character. If you know the maximum length that your where clause is going be, you can set the width of the where parameter to be slightly greater than that number. Otherwise, set it to some number like 100.

If your lexical parameter ('where') width is not enough to hold the where condition assigned to it, you will receive one of the following errors depending on your Reports version.

REP-0450 - Unhandled exception,

and ORA-6502- PL/SQL numeric or value error.

REP-1401 - Fatal PL/SQL error in afterptrigger

and ORA-6502-PL/SQL numeric or value error.

2. What is a Bind Variable?

Bind parameters are used to substitute single value at runtime for evaluation and are identified by a preceding ‘:’. An example of a bind parameter in a select statement is provided below, where :P_EMP is the bind parameter reference.

Select ename,empno

From emp

Where empno= :P_EMP

These are used as tokens while registering concurrent program.

3. Difference between lexical and bind variable?

Bind references are used to replace a single value in SQL or PL/SQL. Specifically, bind references may be used to replace expressions in SELECT, WHERE, GROUP BY, ORDER BY, HAVING,CONNECT BY, and START WITH clauses of queries. Binds may not be referenced in the FROM clause. An example is:

SELECT ORDID,TOTAL

FROM ORD

WHERE CUSTID = :CUST

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 cannot make lexical references in PL/SQL. Before you reference a lexical parameter in a query you must have predefined the parameter and given it an initial value. An example is:

SELECT ORDID, TOTAL

FROM &ATABLE

4. How many types of Triggers are there and what are they? Tell their sequence of execution.

Report triggers execute PL/SQL functions at specific times during the execution and formatting of your report. Using the conditional processing capabilities of PL/SQL for these triggers, you can do things such as customize the formatting of your report, perform initialization tasks, and access the database. To create or modify a report trigger, use Report Triggers in the Object Navigator. Report triggers must explicitly return TRUE or FALSE. Report Builder has five global report triggers (you cannot create new global report triggers):

Before Parameter Form trigger

After Parameter Form trigger

Before Report trigger

Between Pages trigger

After Report trigger

Before Report trigger and After Report trigger should be declared compulsory. In the Before Report trigger we declare the srw.user_exit(‘ fnd srwinit’) user exist and in the After Report trigger srw.user_exit (‘fnd srwexit’)

The sequence/order of events when a report is executed is as follows:

Before Parameter Form trigger is fired.
1 Runtime Parameter Form appears (if not suppressed).

2 After Parameter Form trigger is fired (unless the user cancels from the Runtime Parameter
Form).

3 Report is "compiled."

4 Queries are parsed.

5 Before Report trigger is fired.

6 SET TRANSACTION READONLY is executed (if specified via the READONLY argument
or setting).

7 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 being formatted.) 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.

8 COMMIT is executed (if READONLY is specified) to end the transaction.

9 After Report trigger is fired.

10 COMMIT/ROLLBACK/NOACTION is executed based on what was specified via the
ONSUCCESS argument or setting.

Cautions
=========
1. In steps 4 through 9, avoid DDL statements that would modify the tables on which the
report is based. Step 3 takes a snapshot of the tables and the snapshot must remain valid
throughout the execution of the report. In steps 7 through 9, avoid DML statements that
would modify the contents of the tables on which the report is based. Queries may be
executed in any order, which makes DML statements unreliable (unless performed on tables
not used by the report).

2. If you specify READONLY, you should avoid DDL altogether. When you execute a DDL
statement (e.g., via SRW.DO_SQL or a user exit), a COMMIT is automatically issued. If you
are using READONLY, this will prematurely end the transaction begun by SET
TRANSACTION READONLY.

Report trigger restrictions
=============================
1. If you are sending your report output to the Runtime Previewer or Live Previewer, you

should note that some or all of the report triggers may be fired before you see the report
output. For example, suppose that you use SRW.MESSAGE to issue a message in the
Between Pages trigger when a condition is met. If there are forward references in the report
(e.g., a total number of pages displayed before the last page), Report Builder may have to
format ahead to compute the forward references. Hence, even though you have not yet seen
a page, it may already have been formatted and the trigger fired.

2. In report triggers, you can use the values of report-level columns and parameters. For
example, you might need to use the value of a parameter called COUNT1 in a condition
(e.g., IF :COUNT1 = 10). Note, though, that you cannot reference any page-dependent columns (i.e., a column with a Reset At of Page) or columns that rely on page-dependent columns.

3. In the Before and After Parameter Form, and Before and After Report triggers, you can set
the values of parameters (e.g., give them a value in an assignment statement, :COUNT1 =
15). In the Before and After Report triggers, you can also set the values of report-level,
placeholder columns.

4. In the Between Pages trigger, you cannot set the values of any data model objects. Note also
that the use of PL/SQL global variables to indirectly set the values of columns or parameters
is not recommended. If you do this, you may get unpredictable results.

5. If you run a report from Report Builder Runtime (i.e., not the command line or
SRW.RUN_REPORT), you should commit database changes you make in the Before
Parameter Form, After Parameter Form, and Validation triggers before the report runs.
When running in this way, these triggers will share the parent process’ database connection.
When the report is actually executed, however, it will establish its own database connection.

6. A lexical reference cannot be used to create additional bind variables after the After
Parameter Form trigger fires. For example, suppose you have a query like the following
(note that the WHERE clause is replaced by a lexical reference):
SELECT ENAME, SAL FROM EMP
&where_clause
If the value of the WHERE_CLAUSE parameter contains a reference to a bind variable, you
must specify the value in the After Parameter Form trigger or earlier. You would get an
error if you supplied the following value for the parameter in the Before Report trigger. If
you supplied this same value in the After Parameter Form trigger, the report would run.
WHERE SAL = :new_bind

5. What is a Format Trigger?

Format triggers are PL/SQL functions executed before the object is formatted. The trigger can be used to dynamically change the formatting attributes of the object. The function must return a Boolean value (TRUE or FALSE). Depending on whether the function returns TRUE or FALSE, the current instance of the object is included or excluded from the report output. You can access format triggers from the Object Navigator, the Property Palette, or the PL/SQL Editor.

A format trigger is a PL/SQL function executed before an object is formatted. A trigger can be used to dynamically change the formatting attributes of the object.

6. What is Anchoring?

It is a feature thru which we can control the position of the boiler plate or data fields in layout.

Anchors are used to determine the vertical and horizontal positioning of a child object relative to its parent. The end of the anchor with a symbol is attached to the parent object.

When you create a default layout, Reports will create some of its own implicit anchors. These are not visible. There may be occasions when you want to create your own explicit anchors to force objects to be positioned together or to conditionally specify when the object prints.

You create an explicit anchor as follows:

1. Select the Anchor tool in the Layout Tool Palette.

2. Click on an edge of the Child object.

3. Move the cursor to the edge of the Parent object and double click to fix the anchor.

You can position the anchor at any distance down the edge of the object. The distance is a percentage of the total length of the edge. You can adjust this position in the anchor property sheet.

Examples of using explicit anchors:

ANCHORING BOILERPLATE TO A FRAME

--------------------------------

You may want to display some boiler plate to the right of, and half way down a vertical list of records.

In this case, you would create an anchor from the child boilerplate to the parent, group or repeating frame. Ensure the parent end point is 50% down the right edge of the frame.

ANCHORING CONDITIONAL OBJECTS

----------------------------

To adjust the position of a layout object if the anchoring parent does not display, you can define your explicit anchor as collapsible either horizontally or vertically. The child layout object then collapses, to suppress additional spacing, if the parent object does not print.

An example of where you might use this would be on Mailing Labels.

Mailing Labels often include optional fields to allow variable number of lines in an address. You may want to suppress the fields that are null, so that the address in the labels does not have gaps between the lines.

For example:

f_name

f_address1

f_address2

f_address3

f_address4

where f_address2 is an optional field.

1. Select f_address2 in the layout editor and go into the property sheet.

2. In Reports V2.5, under the general layout tab, click on the Format Trigger

Edit button to create the following format trigger.

In other versions of Reports, under advanced layout, click on the Format

Trigger to create the following format trigger.

FUNCTION f_address2 RETURN BOOLEAN IS

BEGIN

IF :address2 IS NULL THEN

RETURN (FALSE);

ELSE

RETURN (TRUE);

END IF;

END;

3. Then create an anchor from f_address3 (the field below) upto to f_address2 (the optional field). In the anchor properties place a check in the collapse vertically check box.

4. Create another anchor, this time from f_address4 to f_address3, again setting it to collapse vertically. This process needs to be done for all the fields below the optional field to avoid any unwanted spaces.

7. What is Frame and Repeating Frame?

Frames are used to surround other objects and protect them from being overwritten or pushed by other objects. For example, a frame might be used to surround all objects owned by a group, to surround column headings, or to surround summaries.

Repeating frames are place holders for records. Repeating frames print once for each record of a group and control record-level formatting. Reports will generate one repeating frame for each group when you create a default layout.

Reports will place containers of columns inside of the frames. Each repeating frame retrieves only one row in its fetch cycle for any one repetition. Until it is constrained by another frame, it will repeat itself until the while loop condition can no longer be satisfied.

We give group in data model as source to repeating frame.

8. What are Confined Mode and Flex Mode?

Confined mode allows objects to be locked into the place in the layout. Objects are maintained within their containers.

CONFINE mode is not for a specific object, but applies to all objects on the layout when it is enabled (locked).When it is turned off (unlocked), you are allowed to move an object outside its surrounding frame. When it is turned on (locked), you are unable to move an object outside its surrounding frame. This is to prevent unnecessary 'Frequency Errors'.

Flex mode preserves the layout structure while allowing expanding and shrinking of the layout.

FLEX mode, when enabled, allows surrounding frames to grow as an object is resized or moved. Only one object at a time can be moved either vertically or horizontally, not diagonally.

9. What are User Exits?

You build user exits when you want to pass control from Report Builder to a program you have written, which performs some function, and then returns control to Report Builder.

You can write the following types of user exits:

* ORACLE Precompiler user exits

* OCI (ORACLE Call Interface) user exits

* Non-ORACLE user exits.

User exits can perform the following tasks:

* Perform complex data manipulation

* Pass data to Report Builder from operating system text files

* Manipulate LONG RAW data

* Support PL/SQL blocks

* Control real time devices, such as a printer or a robot

You can use user exits for other tasks, such as mathematical processing.

However, it is recommended that you perform such tasks with PL/SQL within Report Builder itself.

Ex: FNDSRWINIT, FNDSRWEXIT.

10. How do I Register a Custom Report?

               Step 1: Register a concurrent program executable

Navigate to the Define Executable form (AOL Reference manual pg 9-84)

This determines the type of program being run,ie an Oracle Report. Fill in the executable name, application and execution method. For the Execution File, fill in just the filename. The concurrent manager will look in the appropriate directory under the application's top directory.

For spawned programs, the file must be in the bin directory, for Oracle Reports the rdf file must be in the srw directory.

For PLSQL concurrent programs, put the name of the stored procedure.

Step 2: Define the concurrent program

Navigate to the Define Concurrent Program form (AOL Reference manual pg 9-87)

This form links a concurrent program to the executable you just defined, as well as defines the programs parameters, incompatibilities, and other options.

Enter the concurrent program name, application, short name and description. Check Standard Submission if you want to be able to submit this program from the Standard Report Submission form.

Enter the name of the executable you defined and any report information if necessary. Also define any parameters your program needs here and any incompatibilities.

Step 3: Add the concurrent program to a Report Group

First you will need to find the name of the Report Group to use.

Go to Security->Responsibility and query the responsibility you want to run the program with.

It should show a Report Group name. Query this name in Security->Responsibility->Report

Add your new program to the list of available programs. Now when you go to submit a request with this responsibility, you will be able to submit your custom program.

11. What is a Token?

Token is used to attach a bindvariable to a report parameter while registering the report as concurrent program.

12. What is the use of ‘Send to Back’ and ‘Bring to Front’?

To change the order in which objects are layered on top of each other.

Send to Back to move the object behind all other objects.

Bring to Front to move the object in front of all other objects.

13. If 2^nd parameter value is based on 1^st parameter then how do u declare it?

Let v2 be the value set definition of 2^nd parameter and v1 be the value set definition for the first parameter then

In the value set definition of v2 = value $FLEX$.v1

14. What are Summary Column, Place holder Column, and Formula Column?

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.

A placeholder is a column for which you set the data type and value in PL/SQL that you define. You can set the value of a placeholder column in the following places. A place holder column stores a value which we can refer in the layout.

A formula column performs a user-defined computation on another column(s) data, including placeholder columns. Formula columns should not be used to set values for parameters.

15. How do u hide fields in a Report?

Ans: Using the Format Trigger we can hide the fields.

/* Suppose that you are building a master/detail report

** and, if no detail records are retrieved for a master

** record, you do not want the boilerplate labels to

** appear. To do this, you first create a summary

** column called MYCOUNT with a Function of Count in

** the source group of the master repeating frame.

** In the format trigger for the group frame that

** surrounds the detail repeating frame and its labels,

** you enter the following:

function my_formtrig return BOOLEAN is

begin

if :mycount = 0 then

return (false);

else

return (true);

end if;

end;

16. What kinds of reports u have worked on?

17. Name Custom Reports and…--------------------------------------

18. How many types of Report formats we have?

Custom Reports and Standard reports

19. What is the minimum number of groups required for a Matrix type report?

To create a matrix report, you need at least four groups: one group must be a cross-product group, two of the groups must be within the cross-product group to furnish the "labels," and at least one group must provide the information to fill the cells. The groups can belong to a single query or to multiple queries.

A matrix (cross tab) report contains one row of labels, one column of labels, and information in a grid format that is related to the row and column labels. A distinguishing feature of matrix reports is that the number of columns is not known until the data is fetched from the database.

20. What is the difference between Bitmap and Character based reports? Explain in detail.

Bitmap vs. Character-Mode Report Design

Here is an example to help explain how Oracle Reports are designed and printed in both the 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. Postscript is a universal printer language and any postscript printer is able to interpret your different design instructions.

In Oracle Reports Designer, character mode, the APPLICATIONS STANDARDS EQUIRE the report to be designed in ONE FONT/ ONE CHARACTER SIZE. Character mode reports generate ASCII output. In ASCII you cannot dynamically change the font and character size. The standard is in effect so a report prints as identically as possible from both conventional and postscript printers.

Bitmap vs. Character-Mode Report Printing

These sequences contrast the two printing environments. In postscript, "C" can be in a different 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 could also be bold, for example.

SRW driver

(for bold, underline,

page break escape sequences)

21. What Printer Styles are used for? Did you develop any printer styles?

Srw.driver

22. How do you fix a performance problem in a Report?

Check Report main query and fine tune it.

Create indexes on columns used in where condition (eliminate full table scan)

Enable Trace(set trace on in before report and set trace off in after report)

Before Report:

srw.do_sql('alter session set sql_trace=true');

After Report:

srw.do_sql('alter session set sql_trace=false');

Trace file will be generated at location:

select value from v$parameter

where name = 'user_dump_dest';

To better see execution plans in a trace file, you need to format the

generated trace file with tkprof statement.

23. What is the significance of p_conc_request_id?

P_conc_request_id is declared as the user parameter for reports which will get org specific data. P_conc_request_id datatype is character and length is 15.

24. How to call a stored procedure in the report? What is the use of that?

Package.prcedure

25. The differences between forms 4.5 and forms 6i?

26. How do you set ORG_ID in a SQL*Plus session?

Call the Below Anonymous pl/sql block.

BEGIN

fnd_client_info.set_org_context(‘204');

END;

exec dbms_application_info.set_client_info(‘org_id’);

27. The differences between reports 2.5 and 6i?

28. While registering a report and a pl/sql block we pass some parameters, for any pl/sql block we pass two additional parameters. Can u list them?

p_errorcode and p_errorbuffer as out parameters in main procedure.

It requires 2 IN parameters for a PL/SQL procedure that's registered as a concurrent program in Apps. They are

1. errcode IN VARCHAR2

2. errbuff IN VARCHAR2

29. How we can call from form to form, form to report?

Calling a Form from another Form: FND_EXECUTE(…);

NOTE: The calling and called Forms must be registered with Applications.

Calling a Report from a Form: FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST(…);

NOTE: This method can be used to call any concurrent program.

30. What are logical page and physical page?

In the Runtime Previewer, you can scroll though a single page of report output, page through the entire report, and split the screen to view different sections of the same report concurrently.

A physical page (or panel) is the size of a page that will be output by your printer. A logical page is the size of one page of your actual report (it can be any number of physical pages wide or long). The Runtime Previewer displays the logical pages of your report output, one at a time.

31. Why is ref cursor is used in the reports?

Dynamic cursor

32. When we create a report we use the tables, there is some difference when we use the multi-org tables and ordinary tables, can u tell the difference?

Set p_conc_request_id for org specific tables.

33. What is a template and what is its use. We have predefined template and we can define user-defined template. Can u tell why we use the user-defined template?

34. I moved this field into that repeating frame, but I’m still getting a” frequency below its group” error?

35. I must put a repeating frame around these fields. How do I do this easily?

36. I switched the page size to 11 x 8.5, but the printer still prints in Portrait?

37. We have 2 different databases, and each system has 2 tables. Know there is a link provided between them. The client want a report to be developed based on the 4 tables that r there in the 2 different databases. The solution must be efficient?

Use database links

Submit concurrent request from back end (Solved)

2019-08-20T19:32:00.003+05:00

Submit concurrent request (Solved)

Or

How to submit concurrent request in Oracle from backend or frontend?

There are two parts of this question:

Submit concurrent request from backend.

and

Submit concurrent request from Oracle form.

If we talk about its first part which is

Submit concurrent request from backend

Submit concurrent request from pl/sql

I assume you know how to submit any request from front end if you don’t know you should read second part first otherwise keep reading.

We have to login into the oracle applications, navigate to respective responsibility and finally submit the concurrent program for its execution. (As illustrated in second part)

But challenge arise when we have to submit a concurrent program from an integrated development environment like Toad and SQL Developer.

Here comes the solution.

Firstly we need to initialize the apps environment to submit a concurrent request from back-end.

We will use the built-in function (APPS_INITIALIZE ) to initialize the apps environment and the syntax is:

APPS.FND_GLOBAL.APPS_INITIALIZE(user_id,

responsibility_id,

application_responsibility_id

);

Now challenge comes from where we can have all these IDs?

We can extract these values from backend by using following tables

we can extract the values from the Oracle Application menu i.e.

Help > Diagnostic > Examine >

Select “$PROFILES$” in “Block Field” and select required field in “Field” and you can have your required value in “Value” section. As illustrated below:

submit concurrent request in Oracle from backend or frontend?

These can be queried from following tables:

SELECT user_id

FROM fnd_user

WHERE user_name like 'ALI' --(or write your username here instead of ALI)

SELECT responsibility_id, application_id

FROM fnd_responsibility_tl

WHERE responsibility_name like 'System Administration' --(replace ‘System Administration’ --with your target responsibility)

SELECT application_short_name

FROM fnd_application

WHERE application_id = (write application id here which you extracted from above )

Now, after initializing the apps environment, execute the API,

APPS.FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST();

function FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST

( application, ---- IN varchar2 default NULL

program, ----IN varchar2 default NULL

description, ----IN varchar2 default NULL

start_time, ----IN varchar2 default NULL

sub_request, ----IN boolean default FALSE

argument1,

argument2, ..., argument99,

argument100); ---- this function will return number

application: application short name in which your concurrent program is registered

as illustrated below

unable to submit concurrent program from backend

submit concurrent program from backend

Run Concurrent Request from back-end

SELECT application_short_name

FROM fnd_application

WHERE application_id = 0----(write application id here which you extracted from above )

Input arguments:

Program: Concurrent Program Short name

Description: It is optional. If you want to add any particular description you can use this.

start_time: time at which the program should start executing (optional)

sub_request: ‘TRUE’, if the program is being submitted from any other program otherwise ‘False’

argument1, argument2, ...argument99, argument100

Parameters for the concurrent program in sequence if any required

Example:

Declare

v_req_id number;

begin

APPS.FND_GLOBAL.APPS_INITIALIZE(1, --user_id,

20, --responsibility_id,

1) --application_responsibility_id

dbms_output.put_line('Initialized ' || v_req_id); ----better to add this at every step while working

v_req_id:= APPS.FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST(

'FND', ---- application short name IN varchar2 default NULL

'FNDSCURS', ----CONCURRENT program NAME IN varchar2 default NULL,

Null, ----description IN varchar2 default NULL,

sysdate, ----start_time IN varchar2 default NULL,

FALSE); ----sub_request IN boolean default FALSE

dbms_output.put_line('Request Submitted and Request Id is: ' || v_req_id);

Commit;

dbms_output.put_line('Commit Executed.');

if v_req_id >0 then

dbms_output.put_line('Request submitted Successfully and Request ID is: ' || v_req_id);

else

dbms_output.put_line('Request submission Failed. ' || v_req_id ||' and sqlerrm: ' || sqlerrm);

end if;

exception when others then

dbms_output.put_line('Error while submitting Concurrent Request');

end;

After writing it (let us try in Toad) first start the DBMS output and then select the whole script and press “F9”. And then again press “Refresh” button in DMS output and check what messages are shown there.

as shwon below:

Run Concurrent Request from Toad

left most round button is to start debuging after that select your code and hit "F9" button and then refresh and messages will be shown.

at the end of first part of this question let me describe other possible form of this question, so that maximum people can reach to the solution (I will really appreciate your patience if it bothers you)

unable to submit concurrent program from backend

submit concurrent program through backend

submit a concurrent request from backend

how to submit concurrent request from backend

submit concurrent program from backend in r12

submit concurrent program from backend in oracle apps

pl/sql script to submit a concurrent request from backend

submitting the concurrent request from backend

submit concurrent request from oracle form

oracle submit concurrent request from pl sql

how to submit concurrent request from oracle forms

submit concurrent request from pl/sql

If we talk about its second part which is

Submit concurrent request from Oracle form.

Solution:

You need to login in Oracle Application and then switch to respective responsibility.

Rest of procedure I am illustrating beneath for your ease because you know

“A picture speaks louder than words”

RUN Oracle concurrent request from back end

This request does not have any parameter to define so press "OK".

RUN Oracle concurrent request from back end

finally to view the output press "View Output" button.

At the end let me describe other possible form of this question, so that maximum people can reach to the solution (I will really appreciate your patience if it bothers you)

Oracle Apps Technical Interview Questions and Answers

2014-01-15T16:03:00.000+05:00

Oracle Apps Technical Interview Questions/Answers

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 multi-tables loads.

i) conventional

--The conventional path loader essentially loads the data by using standard ‘insert’ statement.

ii) direct

-- the direct path loader (direct = true) by possess of logic involved with that, and loads directly in to the oracle data files.

Example:-

My data.csv file

1001, “scott tiger”,1000,40

1002,”gvreddy”,2345,50

Load data

Infile ‘c:\data\mydata.csv’

Into table emp

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 = <Directory name>

Example:-

--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

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.

14) How to send additional customer and address information through customer interface

Here is where attribute columns are used.

* Additional Customer data can be populated in

RA_CUSTOMERS_INTERFACE_ALL.customer_attribute1 to 15

This will go into RA_CUSTOMERS.attribute1 to 15

* Additional address information can be populated in

RA_CUSTOMERS_INTERFACE_ALL.address_attribute1 to 15

This will go into RA_ADDRESSES_ALL.attribute1 to 15

And so on.

15) 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.

16) 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

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.

17) 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 )

18) Does Customer Interface import salesperson data?

No, Refer Enhancement Bug: 147495

19) Customer Interface process can be used for updating the customer information How does the UPDATE work?

Current functionality of Customer Interface is to update all the data. You cannot run Customer Interface to update only changed data. (Refer Bug: 879121 for the intended functionality)

20) What are some of the important fields that Customer Interface does not load?

Not all fields in RA_CUSTOMERS are being loaded by the interface.

c. customer status : must be ‘A’ for active or ‘I’ for inactive

HZ_PARTIES_STATUS

d. bank account num or bank account currency code :

if the bank a/c already exist do not enter a value

if the bank a/c does not exist you must enter a value

e. bank a/c name : it must exist in AP_BANK_ACCOUNTS or if it does not exist values must exist for BANK_A/C_CURRENCY_CODE

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

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.

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?

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

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

...

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:

n You can use this procedure to issue user-defined error messages from stored sub programs.

n You can report errors to your applications and avoid returning unhandled exceptions.

Raise_Application_Error(error_number,message[,{true/false}]

Error number è 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?

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?

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

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

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;

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

PROCEDURE calc_rating(. . .); -- forward declaration

PROCEDURE award_bonus(. . .)

IS -- subprograms defined

BEGIN -- in alphabetical order

calc_rating(. . .);

. . .

END;

PROCEDURE calc_rating(. . .)

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

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
The data dictionary contains source code in the user_triggers.	Data dictionary contains source code in user_source
Implicitly invoked	Explicitly invoked
Commit, save point and rollback are not allowed(TCL)	Those are allowed

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?

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 adminàsecurityàdefine

Securityàuseràdefine

61) What are different execution methods of executabls?

FlexRpt The execution file is wrnitten using the FlexReport API.

FlexSql The execution file is written using the FlexSql API.

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 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

Unable to find Inventory Organization on Organization Assignment Form

I was sucked tomorrow, when I was performing Oracle Inventory module setup and was try to define Master item. Problem we were facing was we were unable to find our Inventory Organization on Organization Assignment form. Only choice there was Master Organization.

Form Name: Inventory > Items > Master Items (INVIDITM.fmb)

Solution: After a lot of search on Metalink and Google, I was unable to resolve this issue. At the end of the day I found the basic mistake in definition of Child Inventory Organization. At Organization Parameter form there is field 'Item Master Organization', I was providing there my child inventory Organization name. Replaced that with master inventory organization. Issue was resolved.

Part 2: Adding new fields to the R12 Payment Funds Disbursement XML file

IBY_FD_EXTRACT_EXT_PUB is a standard PL/SQL package that is used to extend (i.e. add additional tags to) the XML file generated during a R12 Oracle Payments ‘Payment Process Request’:

This XML file is then used as the data source for the XML Publisher cheque or electronic file presentation layout.

To understand how to use IBY_FD_EXTRACT_EXT_PUB, we have to understand the structure of the XML file created by the Payments process request.

There are 4 main levels to the file. These are:
Top Level: Outbound Payment Instruction
This is the top level of the XML File and there is one Outbound Payment Instruction per Payment process request.

Level 2: Outbound Payment:
This is the Payment Level i.e. an individual cheque or BACS payment amount to a supplier. There can be multiple Outbound Payments per Outbound Payment Instruction.

Level 3: Document Payable:
Details the documents (i.e. invoices) being paid. There can be multiple Document Payable tags per Outbound Payment

Level 4: Document Payable Line:
This level details the invoice line. There can be multiple Document Payable Line tags per Document Payable.

Additional XML tags can be added at each of these 4 levels by coding different PL/SQL functions in IBY_FD_EXTRACT_EXT_PUB.
The following table lists the functions you need to modify to add additional tags to each level of the XML file:

XML File Level	IBY_FD_EXTRACT_EXT_PUB Function To Modify	Example of Parameter Usage
OutboundPaymentInstruction	Get_Ins_Ext_Agg(p_payment_instruction_id IN NUMBER)	SELECT * FROM iby_pay_instructions_all WHERE payment_instruction_id = p_payment_instruction_id;
OutboundPayment	Get_Pmt_Ext_Agg(p_payment_id IN NUMBER)	SELECT * FROM iby_payments_all ipa WHERE ipa.payment_id = p_payment_id;
DocumentPayable	Get_Doc_Ext_Agg(p_document_payable_id IN NUMBER)	SELECT * FROM iby_docs_payable_all dp WHERE dp.document_payable_id = P_document_payable_id;
DocumentPayableLine	Get_Docline_Ext_Agg(p_document_payable_id IN NUMBER, p_line_number IN NUMBER)
PaymentProcessProfile	Get_Ppr_Ext_Agg(p_payment_service_request_id IN NUMBER)	SELECT * FROM iby_pay_service_requests WHERE payment_service_request_id = p_payment_service_request_id;

Code Example:

FUNCTION Get_Doc_Ext_Agg(p_document_payable_id IN NUMBER)

RETURN XMLTYPE

l_ins_ext_agg XMLTYPE;

CURSOR l_ins_ext_csr (p_document_payable_id IN NUMBER) IS

SELECT XMLConcat(

XMLElement("Extend",

XMLElement("DocSequenceValue", ai.DOC_SEQUENCE_VALUE)

)

FROM iby_docs_payable_all dp,ap_invoices_all ai

WHERE dp.calling_app_doc_unique_ref2 = ai.invoice_id

AND dp.document_payable_id = p_document_payable_id;

BEGIN

OPEN l_ins_ext_csr (p_document_payable_id);

FETCH l_ins_ext_csr INTO l_ins_ext_agg;

CLOSE l_ins_ext_csr;

RETURN l_ins_ext_agg;

END Get_Doc_Ext_Agg;

The chosen installation conflicts with software already installed

2012-11-28T11:59:00.000+05:00

The chosen installation conflicts with software already installed

This Sunday when I was trying to install Oracle 11g Database I was facing following problem while installing the database.

[INS-32025] The chosen installation conflicts with software already installed in the given Oracle home

INS-32025 The chosen installation conflicts with software already installed

This error occurs because I have already installed the Oracle 11g Database and later I have remove the Oracle 11g Database and restored my registry. But when I again try to install the database, installer found any traces of previous installation somehow and show the error.

Solution:

I have just change the dbhome_1 to dbhome_2 and problem solved. :)

Reason:

Installer found the entry of dbhome_1 from anywhere in my system and when again I tried to installed the same home installer showed the error. So I just change the home name.

Suppose:

If you install this and later you uninstall the db then next time when you will try to install the Oracle 11g Database you will have to use the "dbhome_3". Hope you got the point. :)

INS-32025 The chosen installation conflicts with software already installed

file not found em.ear oracle 11g

2012-11-27T10:23:00.000+05:00

file not found em.ear oracle 11g

This Sunday I was trying to install Oracle 11g Database but at 60% it showed error:

file not found em.ear oracle 11g

"Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Installer

file not found

d:\app\Administrator\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\oc4j\j2eoc4j_applications\applications\em.ear"

When we download Oracle 11g Database it contains 2 files win32_11gR2_database_1of2.zip and win32_11gR2_database_2of2.zip.

What I was doing wrong is, I just unzipped the first file and assumed it automatically will extract the second one too but actually it won't. That is why I was getting this error.

I have googled a lot and found the solution:

Solution:

Extract first file ( win32_11gR2_database_1of2.zip) and then second (win32_11gR2_database_2of2.zip) too. win32_11gR2_database_2of2.zip automatically placed its files in Components directory if you still facing this error then extract the 2nd file (win32_11gR2_database_2of2.zip) and place the extracted folders (oracle.ctx, oracle.rdbms.install.seeddb, oracle.sysman.console.db) into database\stage\Components.

I am confident it will solve your problem.

If you still facing the problem then please comment below.

Oracle/PLSQL: ORA-01843 Error

2012-11-15T16:55:00.002+05:00

Oracle/PLSQL: ORA-01843 Error

Today when I was developing Oracle Form in Oracle Form Builder I got the error

"Oracle/PLSQL: ORA-01843 Error" when I googled this error I found the following solution on www.techonthenet.com

Actually I was assigning the string value to date type column as illustrated below:

Oracle/PLSQL: ORA-01843 Error

:MS_HEADER.CREATION_DATE := '11/15/2012 15:03:34';

but it should be as follows:

:MS_HEADER.CREATION_DATE := to_date('11/15/2012 15:03:34','mm/dd/rrrr hh24:mi:ss');

solution is below:

Oracle/PLSQL: ORA-01843 Error

Error Message

ORA-01843: not a valid month

Cause of Error

You entered a date, but the month portion of the date was not a valid month.

Resolution

The option(s) to resolve this Oracle error are:

Re-enter the date value using either a MONTH format mask.

The valid values for month are:

January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December.

Or you could use the MON format mask and use one of the following values:

Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec.

If all else fails, you may want to consider using the to_date function and specifying the date format mask.

Solution
-----------
- Terminate some processes (preferably ones that are using a lot of virtual memory)
- Add swap space to your system. The method for adding swap space to a system varies
between UNIX variants: consult your operating system documentation or vendor for details.
You can use the commands listed below for adding, deleting, and monitoring the system swap areas for the associated operating system:

SUN Solaris                       #/usr/sbin/swap -l
HP 9000 Series HP-UX     # /etc/swapinfo
Digital UNIX                      % /usr/sbin/swapon -s
IBM RS/6000 AIX            % /etc/lsps -a
Note 17094.1 TECH: Unix Virtual Memory, Paging & Swapping explained
Note 69083.1 Common UNIX Commands Available on Most UNIX Platforms

13) Solaris 10 installation is missing some packages and patches
Note 554628.1 Running Test Form on Fresh Installation of Application Server on Solaris 10 Gives Error: FRM-92101

14) Using RUN_REPORT_OBJECT on SolarisNote 846950.1 Forms 10g RUN_REPORT_OBJECT Fails With FRM-92101 / FRM-93000 on Solaris

15) EXECUTE_QUERY or Scrolling on Solaris

2012-11-08T09:52:00.002+05:00

app-ar-294571 the period cannot be closed due to some unprocessed accounting events or untransferred journal entries

When I try to close AR periods I was facing following errors.

app-ar-294571 the period cannot be closed due to some unprocessed accounting events or untransferred journal entries

Solution can be find from the Oracle Note: 1479975.1

I am pasting Note detail below but it is highly recomended to check this note from support.oracle.com for updated version (if any).

Create Accounting APP-AR-294571 : The Period Cannot Be Closed Due to Some Unprocessed Accounting Events or Untransferred Journal Entries [ID 1479975.1]

In this Document

Symptoms

Cause

Solution

Applies to:

Oracle Receivables - Version 12.0.0 to 12.2 [Release 12.0 to 12.2]
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Symptoms

Attempting to run Create Accounting and receive the following error:
APP-AR-294571 : The PERIOD cannot be closed due to some unprocessed accounting events or un-transferred journal entries.

Cause

Found that Un-Approved Adjustments were present.
Adjustments are not Approved or Rejected. Two adjustments were in Pending status and need to be processed by users.
In Release 12, Pending adjustments have to be processed.

Solution

Run the following to find the offending Entries.

select     et.source_id_int_1, et.entity_code, et.entity_id,
    ev.event_id, ev.entity_id, ev.event_type_code,
    ev.event_status_code, ev.event_date,
     et.SECURITY_ID_INT_1, et.ledger_id, et.transaction_number
from    XLA.XLA_TRANSACTION_ENTITIES et,
    XLA.XLA_EVENTS ev
where    ev.event_date between to_date('&startdate', 'dd-mon-yyyy') AND
        to_date('&enddate', 'dd-mon-yyyy')
and    ev.event_status_code not in ('P','N')
and     ev.application_id = 222
and     et.entity_id = ev.entity_id;

Check the following Things for the Adjustment in question
1. Status is in W (Pending) or R (Rejected)
2. Event Status Code for Pendng (W) or N for (Rejected). These statuses then need to be resolved.
Pending Adjustments (W) need to be processed by Users.

Responsibility: Receivables Manager
Navigation: Control > Adjustments > Approve Adjustments
Process the adjustments and run Create Accounting with the period open in AR and GL in question
