Clear BNE Cache for WebADI Changes

It Sometime happens that WebAdi Changes doesn't reflect once migrated in controlled instances.

Here are the quick steps(Generally performed by DBA only).

1)- Pre-Requisite

• A user must have System Administrator responsibility.

• Login to your Application
• Once you are on home page, get the URL of application
• Example : https://XXTEST.abc.com
• Ask DBA for Port number, Though it is generally 443 or 8443 for secure hosts
• create new URL and hit this in new tab
• https://XXTEST.abc.com:443/OA_HTML/BneAdminServlet

Clear cache.

Oracle Form Personalization Modifying Record Group Query on LOV : frm-40502: oracle error: unable to read list of values

I had a requirement to modify LOV query for AR Receipt Form to restrict Customer for Specific Location.

Lov for Highlighted Field needs to be change

Step1:- Select Field that needs a Change in LOV, in this case it is Name, 

Go to                        Help --> Diagnostic --> Examine 

This will give you Exact Block_Name.Field_Name , In this case it is RGW_FOLDER.M_CUSTOMER_NAME

Step2: - We have to find out LOV Name mapped on the Name Field and corresponding Record group Query.

(Note - For following Step , make sure your Form Builder setup is completed. Copy resources, plsql and forms Folder from AU_TOP to your local and Add these folder in your Forms_Path.) 

Open FMB (ARXRWMAI.fmb) in your form builder, and search for M_CUSTOMER_NAME Field in RGW_FOLDER Block.

Check properties of this field and get LOV name. In our case it is "RGW_CUSTOMER_NAME_NOSKIP"

 

Now go to List of value section in the form and search for your LOV (RGW_CUSTOMER_NAME_NOSKIP) and get the Record Group name. In our case it is 'RGW_CUSTOMER_NAME'

Go to Record Group and Get the Query of this Record Group.

    select rtrim(substrb(party.party_name,1,50)) "party_name", 

               cust_acct.account_number "account_number", 

               party.jgzz_fiscal_code "jgzz_fiscal_code", 

               party.tax_reference "tax_reference", 

               cust_acct.cust_account_id "customer_id", 

               cust_acct.fob_point, 

               null "fob_point_meaning", 

               cust_acct.ship_via, 

               null "ship_via_meaning", 

               cust_acct.primary_salesrep_id, 

               null "primary_salesrep_name", 

               null "primary_salesrep_num" ,

               cust_acct.account_name account_description

        from hz_cust_accounts cust_acct,

                 hz_parties party, 

                 hz_customer_profiles cp 

        where cust_acct.cust_account_id = cp.cust_account_id (+)

                  and cust_acct.party_id = party.party_id 

                  and cp.site_use_id is null   

                  and (( (:ar_world.site_required_flag = 'Y' ) and

                    EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM HZ_CUST_ACCT_SITES 

                           WHERE CUST_ACCOUNT_ID = CUST_ACCT.CUST_ACCOUNT_ID 

                             )

                             )

              or :ar_world.site_required_flag = 'N')

Step3:- Now we have to use the Record Group query identified in last step and modify it, as per our business requirement using Form Personalization.

        

    Go to       Help-->Diagnostic--> Custom Code--> Personalize

A)- Add New Entry 

Seq: XX

Description: Modify Bill to Customer Name LOV 

Condition : WHEN-NEW-ITEM-INSTANCE

Trigger Object : RGW_FOLDER.M_CUSTOMER_NAME

Add New Entry

B) -Go to Actions

Seq:1 

Type: Builtin

Builtin Type :  Create Record Group From Query

Argument : Type your Modified Query

Group Name: XX_AR_GRP_NAME

Note : Sometime Query May give an Error like frm-40502: oracle error: unable to read list of values, 

Make Sure the Field that is mapped with your Field i.e. Party Name doesn't have any Alias in this Case

"select party.party_name,

       cust_acct.account_number "account_number",

  and cp.site_use_id is null   

  and (

                         hz_party_sites hps

                         ,hz_locations hl

                   WHERE CUST_ACCOUNT_ID = CUST_ACCT.CUST_ACCOUNT_ID 

                    AND hcsua.cust_acct_site_id = hcas.cust_acct_site_id

                                and hcas.party_site_id=hps.party_site_id

                                    AND hps.location_id = hl.location_id

                                 and hl.country = 'XX' -- Select a Particular Country Customer

                         and hcsua.site_use_code= 'BILL_TO'

                             )

         )"

C)- 2nd Action

   

     Seq 2: 

    

     Type: Property

     

    Object Type : LOV

 

    Target Object : Name of LOV identified in 2nd Step (RGW_CUSTOMER_NAME_NOSKIP) 

     

    Property Name: GROUP_NAME

    Value : XX_AR_GRP_NAME

 

Save You work Close the Form and try LOV, it should have been modified.

User Preferences Values

Sometimes, we need to Update/retrieve User Preferences values Setup at User level in our code/Specifically in User specific application logic building.

So here are few pointers , one ought to know while working with User references.

 --> User Preferences are nothing but the System Profiles (Default from Site Level), starting with 'ICX%'%

 If some one Updates his/her user presences from EBS Home Page, updated values automatically gets reflects in System profiles as well  at the User Level (Not on Site level). 

 --> Function to get These values,

SELECT FND_PROFILE.VALUE_SPECIFIC('ICX_DATE_FORMAT_MASK',<USER_ID>) FROM DUAL;

This function retrieves the value from profiles for a specific User , if their is no value found at user value it further goes down to site value level and fetch the value.

Below query also can be used to get the values , those are updated at User level.

SELECT

    VAL.PROFILE_OPTION_VALUE, OPT.PROFILE_OPTION_NAME,val.PROFILE_OPTION_ID

FROM

    APPLSYS.FND_PROFILE_OPTION_VALUES VAL,

    APPLSYS.FND_PROFILE_OPTIONS OPT,

    APPLSYS.FND_USER FUSER

WHERE

    VAL.PROFILE_OPTION_ID = OPT.PROFILE_OPTION_ID

    AND VAL.LEVEL_VALUE = FUSER.USER_ID

  --  AND OPT.PROFILE_OPTION_NAME LIKE 'ICX%'

    AND VAL.LEVEL_ID = 10004 -- USER LEVEL

    AND FUSER.USER_NAME = 'DEMOUSER';

Extend the existing translation (xlf) files for multiple languages

 

Sometime we need to extend/Enhance the existing Translation files in EBS Templates, here is the solution

 

Root cause : The issue with the translation of the report is because the trans unit block going in different language xlf files for new fields  of the report was different.

 

Solution : It’s a mandatory for translation to work that the trans unit id defined in the different language xlf files for the same fields or words  of the report needs to be same.

 

Below is the approach which needs to be followed for adding the new field in the existing xlfs  files :

1).Add the new element to  the rtf (taking example of the XX proforma report  XXCUST_AR_PROF_REPORT-01_en_US.rtf ).After saving the changes upload the rtf to its template XXCUST_AR_PROF_REPORT-01 .Thereafter, download the xlf file of the rtf you just uploaded by clicking export translations. (highlighted in yellow)

After clicking the export translation , it will ask to save/open the file .Save it.

 

2).Opening the above downloaded file , look for the new field you added. Copy the trans unit block for it and paste it in other xlfs present for that report.

Source is the field for which you need the translation to happen.

Target is the corresponding translated value for it.

Below is the screenshot from the  XXDON_AR_PROF_REPORT-01_en_US.xlf file( Saved in step 1).

Hope that helps!!!

DBC file path for J Developer

In the previous version of EBS (11.1....) , DBC file used to store in $FND_TOP/secure path under

"apps/apps_st/appl/fnd/12.0.0/secure."

Whereas in R12 version , location of DBC file changed to $FND_SECURE, this can be found under

"/appsDEV/inst/apps/DEV_rdcdxerpap01/appl/fnd/12.0.0/secure" Location
