Oracle Apps Interview Questions Part - 6

81)Why does Help->Tools->Examine ask for a password

Navigate to the Update System Profile Screen.
(\ navigate profile system) 32
- Select Level: Site
- Query up Utilities:Diagnostics in the User Profile Options Zone.
If the profile option Utilities:Diagnostics is set to NO, people with access to the Utilities Menu must enter the password for the ORACLE ID of the current responsibility to use Examine. If set to Yes, a password will not be required.

utl_smtp.helo(v_mailconn,v_host_ip);
utl_smtp.mail(v_mailconn,v_from_email_id);
utl_smtp.rcpt(v_mailconn,v_to_email_tab(v_addr_cnt));
v_message := v_message || 'To: ' || v_to_email_tab(v_addr_cnt) || '>' || crlf;
utl_smtp.data(v_mailconn,v_message); -- calling mail procedure
utl_smtp.quit(v_mailconn);

86)How do u call a mail program from Shell program

Ans. for file in `find . -name " .com ~$5" -print |cut -c3-120`
do
echo $file
frm=`echo $file | cut -d'~' -f1`
tom=`echo $file | cut -d'~' -f2 | sed 's/,/ /g'`
echo $frm
echo $tom
echo "Sending mail to $tom"
mailx -r "$frm" -s 'Order Shipment Confirmation' "$tom" < "$file"
rc=$
if [ $rc != 0 ]
then
echo 'invalid file name'
fi 34
rm -f "$file"
rc=$
if [ $rc != 0 ]
then
echo 'invalid file name'
fi
done

87)How do submit a concurrent program from PL/SQL

Ans. apps.fnd_global.apps_initialize
(user_id => p_user_id
,resp_id => p_resp_id
,resp_appl_id => p_resp_appl_id)
;
 / p_error_message := p_error_message ||'Calling Receiving transaction processor'||chr(10);
v_request_id := apps.fnd_request.submit_request
('PO'
,'RVCTP'
,NULL
,NULL
,FALSE
,'BATCH'
,p_batch_id
);
dbms_output.put_line('request id is :'||v_request_id); COMMIT;
p_error_message := p_error_message ||'Receiving Transaction Processing Request id :'||v_request_id ||chr(10) ;
IF (v_request_id > 0) THEN
v_complete := FND_CONCURRENT.wait_for_request ( request_id => v_request_id
, interval => 10
, max_wait => 0
, phase => v_phase
, status => v_status
, dev_phase => v_dev_phase 35
, dev_status => v_dev_status
, message => v_message);

88)How do u register a concurrent program from PL/SQL

Ans. apps.fnd_program.executable_exists -> To check if executable file exists

apps.fnd_program.executable -> To make executable file
fnd_program.program_exists -> To check if program is defined
apps.fnd_program.register -> To register/define the program
apps.fnd_program.parameter -> To add parameters
apps.fnd_program.request_group -> To add to a request group

89)How do u initialize an API

Ans. apps.gems_public_apis_pkg.fnd_apps_initialize

And U can get the parameters from the following script ->
SELECT DISTINCT f5.user_id
, f4.responsibility_name responsibility_name
, f4.responsibility_id responsibility_id
--INTO
--v_user_id
--, v_responsibility_name
--, v_responsibility_id

, apps.fnd_profile_options f1
, apps.fnd_profile_option_values f2
, apps.fnd_responsibility f3
, apps.fnd_responsibility_tl f4
WHERE SYSDATE BETWEEN f6.start_date AND NVL(f6.end_date,SYSDATE)
AND f5.user_id = f6.user_id
AND UPPER(f5.user_name) like '%GLOBALPARTS%'
AND f6.responsibility_id = f4.responsibility_id
AND f2.profile_option_value = TO_CHAR(13) -- Putting the ORG ID Value
AND f2.profile_option_id = f1.profile_option_id
AND f1.profile_option_name = 'ORG_ID'
AND f3.application_id = 201
