Sometimes we have a requirement that the eclipse has to be started by a different java version. So in order to do that we have to do that we have to edit the configuration file in eclipse.

Step 1 :

Open eclipse config file eclipse.ini in your Eclipse folder.

• Add -vm yourPath\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe like in the screenshot below

end;

In this case we will just have 2 conditions and approvers groups with a condition of Amount.

If Amount >= 1 million then send to SH(Share holder approver) approver group

If Amount < 1 million then send notification 3 level approver group.

Creating Attribute

So for this we define a attribute and then we get the amount from our Query

select price_in_usd from xxdpc_penality_details_v where item_key = :transactionId

In the below picture the price_in_usd is the determining amount for our condition.

Creating Conditions

On condition creation we have to select the Attribute amount and then we will have the condition whether it is equal or less or greater and then we can have our amount.

Take the Approval type with the below option

Approver Groups

Define 2 seperate approver group and I have defined here a dynamic approver group

We can have a stacked users in one query in the below Query

select ‘person_id:’||agent_id from xxdpc_penality_pro where item_key = :transactionId

union

select ‘person_id:’||(agent_id+1) from xxdpc_penality_pro where item_key = :transactionId

union

select ‘person_id:’||(agent_id+2) from xxdpc_penality_pro where item_key = :transactionId

Rules

Define 2 rules for amount less than and amount greater than equal to

So in one rule

So we have attached Action type which consists of 3 level approver group and condition which is linked with attribute.

Create a another rule with the amount greater condition.

So to Test this we have to Test Workbench → Run real transaction test

So we have linked the transaction Id and from that we have taken the data from the table so I give a test data.

Now we will go with running test case so select Run Test Case

So we will now be able to see the approvers.

Script to resolve the below error in AME

ORA-20001: Oracle Approvals Management has found parallelization configuration details. The context in which ame_api has been invoked does not support parallelization.

update AME_CONFIG_VARS
set variable_value = ‘no’
where variable_name in (‘allowAllApproverTypes’,’allowAllItemClassRules’,’allowFyiNotifications’)
and sysdate < nvl(end_date,sysdate + 1)
and nvl(application_id,0) = 0;

To get the definition you have 3 options:

1. Connect to the instance via The Oracle Workflowbuilder Client
From the menu bar, choose File/Open
Downloading from the database:
· Click on Database
· Enter the following:
User GWYUID, eg apps
Password FNDNAM, eg.apps
Connect ORACLE_SID or TWO_TASK
Effective You can leave this null.

Then save the file on your desktop via File/Save As and upload it via Metalink

2. Log on to the system Administrator responsibility
Navigate to Concurrent Requests and submit the Workflow Definitions Loader with the following parameters:
Mode: Download
File: <directory path on the server><filename.wft>
e.g. /user/tmp/fa_accounts.wft
Item Type: FA Account Generator

ftp the wft file to your desktop

3. On the server in Unix go to $FND_TOP/bin, ie cd $FND_TOP/BIN
The download command to enter then at the OS prompt is as follows:

WFLOAD apps/<apps pwd> 0 Y DOWNLOAD <filename>.wft ITEMTYPE
e.g.:
WFLOAD -u apps/apps 0 Y DOWNLOAD /usr/tmp/fa_accounts.wft FAFLEXWF

Move the wft file to you desktop

Source :

Edit the file tmux.conf If it is a new Installation you will not have this file so create a new file in home directory by firing the below command

vi ~/.tmux.conf

Now enter the three lines for changing the default Ctrl-b to ` symbol as prefix key

unbind C-b

set-option -g prefix ‘`’

bind-key ‘`’ send-prefix

For this change to happen for all users write the config file to /etc folder so resulting your tmux file will be in /etc/tmux.conf

To programatically respond to a Notification use the below script replacing with the appropriate notification Id and status

begin

wf_notification.setattrtext ( nid => i.notification_id
, aname => ‘RESULT’
, avalue => ‘RETRY’ );
wf_notification.respond( nid => i.notification_id
, respond_comment =>’Approved from our end’
, responder =>fnd_profile.value (‘USERNAME’));

end

Below is script to Create attribute at run time in Oracle apps Workflow.

if ( funmode = ‘RESPOND’ OR funmode = ‘TIMEOUT’) then
create_item_attrib_if_notexist(itemtype=>p_item_type,
itemkey=>p_item_key,
aname=>’HR_CONTEXT_NID_ATTR’,
text_value=>null,
number_value=>wf_engine.context_nid,
date_value=>null);
end if;

If there is requirement that you have to send a notification to some users in a group you can use this AdHocRole concept so you can stitch a group of users and attach to one role.

In the below code wf_directory.CreateAdHocRole creates a new role and we loop the users and send it to wf_directory.AddUsersToAdHocRole so that users will b attached to the particular role

lc_adhoc_role3 := ‘DPC_MAITENANCE_SUPERVISOR’||itemkey;
wf_directory.CreateAdHocRole(       role_name                 => lc_adhoc_role3,
role_display_name         => lc_adhoc_role3);

for i in c1(‘DPC Maintenance Engineer’) loop
wf_directory.AddUsersToAdHocRole(   role_name                 => lc_adhoc_role3,
role_users                => i.USER_NAME
);
end loop;
wf_engine.setitemattrtext (itemtype   => itemtype,itemkey    => itemkey,aname      => ‘DPC_MAITENANCE_SUPERVISOR’,avalue     => lc_adhoc_role3);

Make sure the attribute type is ROLE instead of text and call the above line to assign the role programmatically

In fedora they have grouped packages according the needs like for an example if a person is interested in he has to download a distribution or he has to get a fedora lab of his choice for example Audio Editing or he can go for some other distro which has Audio Editing  tools and now he is also interested in security tools so he has to search all the tools and then he will install with audio editing tools. So to simplify this fedora provides group. So there are many groups users can get specialized tools in the groups.

Now type the below command to search the list of groups in fedora

$ dnf groups list

Now Install the needed group to your system by firing the below command

# dnf groups install “Security Lab”

Note: this command will not support the versions below fedora 21

Enjoy..

Usually we will find the java files in $JAVA_TOP but the xml files will not be in the $JAVA_TOP. The xml files will be in respective application top, for example im woking in SubLedger Accounting Application and the shortname is XLA and top is XLA_TOP so go to the top by

cd $XLA_TOP/mds/linesinquiry/webui/JeLinesInquiriesPG.xml

We can compare the values in Excel sheet using vlookup function

By the Below Formula

=VLOOKUP(E1,E1:F1,1,FALSE)

Here we the first parameter is the value to b compared

Second is the Range from which cell to which cell

Third parameter is that the column index number

Fourth when false(Searches for the exact match) when true just tries to find the range near

Some people feel that when writing a query in TOAD, it tries to give autosuggestion but it takes a long time so it will be helpful sometimes to get the suggestion off.

To turn off go to View –> Toad Options –> Code Assist and then disable the checkbox in the particular link as shown.

Most of the people find it useful to have shortcuts or auto complete  so it makes coding faster, particularly for typing select * from _(table_name)_. So to make your own autocomplete navigate in TOAD to

GOto View–> TOAD Options –> Behaviour –> AutoReplace Button

Now in the opened window add s and give select * from

Also you can view some of template by the below navigation

GOto View–> TOAD Options –> Behaviour –> Code Templates Button

I got a requirement to edit or create the privacy link, FAQ and other links in the Oracle Applications Login page

Below is the Procedure to do it.

Once you have the content change or convert the Documents from any Format(document) to HTML format
Now move the html file to server in the below path
cd $OA_HTML
Now test the file whether it is opening or not by the below url

http://xxabcde.fghij.com:8010/OA_HTML/Login_Page_Links/About%20us.html

Here in the below link the
xxabcde.fghij.com      => Refers to host name
8010                               => Refers to Port of the Server
OA_HTML                     => Path where the HTML file picks up(cd $OA_HTML)
Login_Page_Links/About%20us.html => folder and file path inside server

Now once the page is opening go to Functional Administrator Responsibility  and then give the below path
/oracle/apps/fnd/framework/webui/OAFooter

Now Edit the privacy link footer and Include the above link and click apply.
Now the link would be changed.

Here are the different key flexfields in Oracle EBS and related tables information to store KFF Data Information,

People Group Flexfield                                                                PAY_PEOPLE_GROUPS

Here are few important frequently asked questions on KFFs and DFFs useful for Oracle EBS Beginners and Developers,

Does Every Key Flexfield Always Have a Dedicated Table?

Yes. Every key flexfield has a table dedicated to store the unique combination for a group of fields. For the GL accounting key flexfield, there is a table named GL_CODE_COMBINATIONS. Another example is grades in Oracle Human Resources. An HR grade can be defined as a combination of, say, Clerk + Senior or Clerk + Junior. These combinations will be stored in the PER_GRADES table.

Do All the Tables That Are Used for Storing Key Flexfields have Columns Named SEGMENT1, SEGMENT2…SEGMENTX?

Yes. It is a standard practice used by Oracle to give generic names like SEGMENT1, SEGMENT2…SEGMENTX to these columns. These segment columns are generic columns so that each E-Business Suite customer can reference them by whatever name he or she likes and by giving the desired prompt name to the key flexfield segment.

Does Oracle Deliver Key Flexfields out of the Box?

Oracle delivers many KFFs out of the box, but you will have to configure their segments as per business needs. You can also create new KFFs in Oracle EBS.

What Are the Steps for Configuring a Key Flexfield?

Navigate to the Application Developer responsibility:

Flexfield >> Key >> Register

In this screen, you can get the title of the flexfield against a table name. Next, navigate to the KeyFlexfield segments screen (Flexfield | Key |Segments) and query using the flexfield title. In the KFF Segments screen, the desired segments can be configured in a manner similar to that for descriptive flexfields.

What Are Cross Validation Rules (CVRs)?

Cross validation rules (CVRs) are used to prevent the creation of invalid segment combinations. For example, a Location key flexfield can have two structures, say one for each country, the U.K. and the U.S. For the U.S. flexfield structure, you can define a cross validation rule that excludes COUNTY=NY and CITY=ABERDEEN. At the time of defining cross validation rules, you also specify the accompanying error message that the end user will receive if he or she uses the wrong combination of values in segments. Whenever any component of the Oracle EBS attempts to create a new segment combination, the flexfield engine checks all the cross validation rules against that KFF structure to ensure that the combination is valid. If the combination fails to pass a rule, the error message associated with that rule is displayed to the end user. CVRs are applied to all users in Oracle EBS, but they are not applied to existing combinations.
