Queaionire For Interviews

1. What is the Diff between APPS Schema and other Schemas?
Apps schema contains only Synonyms we can't create tables in apps schema,where as other schema s
contains tables, & all the objects. Here only we will create the tables and giving grants on created tables.
Almost all every time we will connect to apps schema only.
2. What is meant by Custom Top and what is the Purpose?
Custom Top is nothing but Customer Top, which is created for customer only. We can have multiple
custom tops based on client requirement. It is used to store developed & customized components.
Whenever oracle corp. applying patches it will over ride on all the modules except custom top. That’s
why we will use custom top.
3. What is the Significance of US Folder?
It is nothing but language specification by default it is in American language. We can have multiple
languages folders based on installed languages. From backend we can get it from
FND_LANGUAGES -- COL --INSTALLED_FLAG I,B,D
I--INSTALLED,
B--BASE,
D--DISABLE
select language_code,nls_language from fnd_languages where installed_flag like 'B'
4. Where did U find the Application short name and base path names?
select basepath,application_short_name from fnd_application from the backend. From the from end we
can get it Navigation Application Developer.-----> Application---->Register The application name we will
get from FND_APPLICATION_TL
5. Where can U find the release version from backend?

No.
8. Can we have custom schema when it is required?
yes, we can have custom schema, when we want to create a new table we required custom schema.
9.What is meant by concurrent Program?
It is nothing but Instance of the execution along with parameters & Incompatibles. Here Incompatibles
nothing but if we are submitting cc programs if anyone can be execute in those program, which
programs r not imp at this time we will mention those programs in incompatibles tab.
10.What are the steps we will follow to register Reports as Concurrent Program?
First develop the report & save it in local machine. upload into custom_top/12.0.0/reports/us/ go to
system administrator open executable form create executable by mentioning executable method as
reports ,executable as report name which was created. Go to cc program form create ccprogram by
attach executable name in executable section. Then attach this ccprogram to request group, Request
group to Responsibility.Responsibility to User.
11.What is meant by Request group?
It is nothing but collection of cc programs.
12.What is Application Top? What are the types and Purpose?
A) When we connect to the server we will find the top called application top. Under application top we
have
Product top.
Custom top
Product top is the default top built by the manufacturer. Custom top is used to select the Client for his
business purposes. Customizations are done with the Custom top.
13. What is US folder in the Custom Top?

16.What is Token?
a) Use to transfer values to report builder and it is not case sensitive.
17.Difference between FORM, Function and Menu?
a) A menu is a hierarchical arrangement of functions and menus. Each responsibility has a menu
assigned to it. A function is a part of an application that is registered under a unique name for the
purpose of assigning it to be including it from a menu.
18.Tell me something 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.
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’
insert Into table emp Fields terminated by “,” optionally enclosed by‘”’

21.FND USER EXITS:-
FND SRWINIT sets your profile option values, multiple organizations and allowsOracle Application Object
Library user exits to detect that they have been called by an Oracle Reports program.
FND SRWEXIT ensures that all the memory allocated for AOL user exits have been freed up properly.

p) Save and compile the form.
Place the .fmx in the server directory.
24.How does u customize the Reports?
a. Identify the Short name of the standard report in which module we haveto customize
Ex: - if u wants to customize in the AR module path is
Appl top\ar\11.5.0\reports\US\ .rdf
b. Open the .rdf file in Report builder and change the name of the module.
c. Open the data module and modify the query (what is client requirements)
assign the columns to the attributes.

d. Go to report wizard and select, what r the newly created columns.
e. Then Compile it. Then u will get a .rep file in the specified module. If it is
not in the specified directory then we have to put in the server directory.
f. Then Register in the AOL Concurrent Executable and
Concurrent Program.

25.FLEX FIELDS?
Used to capture the additional business information.
DFF
KFF
Additional Unique Info, Mandatory
Captured in attribute prefixed columns Segment prefixed
Not reported on standard reports Is reported on standard reports
To provide expansion space on your form Withthe help of [].
[] Represents descriptive Flex field.
FLEX FILED : DESCRIPTIVE : REGISTER Used for entering and displaying key information
For example Oracle General uses a key Flex field called Accounting Flex field to uniquely identify a
general account.
FLEX FILED : KEY : REGISTER
26.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, orderby, having, connect by,
start with cause of queries.
bind reference may not be referenced in FROM clause (or) in place ofreserved 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 pl/sql statements.
27.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 againstthem.
28.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.
29.What is Formula Column?
A formula column performs a user-defined computation on another column(s) data, including

placeholder columns.
30.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 additionalsummaries: first, last, standard deviation, variance.
31.What is TCA (Trading Community Architecture)?
Ans. Oracle Trading Community Architecture (TCA) is a data model that allows you to manage complex
information about the parties, or customers, who belong to your commercial community, including
organizations, locations, and the network of hierarchical relationships among them. This information is
maintained in the TCA Registry, which is the single source of trading community information for Oracle
E-Business Suite applications.
32.Difference between Application Developer and System Administrator?

33.What are Flex fields?
Ans.A Flex field is a customizable field that opens in a window from a regular Oracle Applications
window. Defining flex fields enables you to tailor Oracle Applications to your own business needs. By
using flex fields, you can:
(a) Structure certain identifiers required by oracle applications according to your own business
environment.
(b) Collect and display additional information for your business as needed.
Key Flex fields: You use key flex fields to define your own structure for many of the identifiers required
by Oracle Applications. Profile – ‘Flexfields:Open Key Window’ (FND_ID_FLEXS)
Descriptive Flex field: You use descriptive flex fields to gather additional information about your
business entities beyond the information required by Oracle Applications. Profile – Flex fields: Open
Descr Window’ (FND_DESCRIPTIVE_FLEXS)
34.Report registration process?
Ans.
1. Create the report using the report builder.
2. Place the report definition file in the module specific reports directory.
3. Create an executable for the report definition file.
4. Create a concurrent program to that executable.
5. Associate the concurrent program to a request group.
35.Define Request Group?
A request security group is the collection of requests, request sets, and concurrent programs that a user,
operating under a given responsibility, can select from the Submit Requests window.
36.Value Sets?
Oracle Application Object Library uses values, value sets and validation tables as important components
of key flex fields, descriptive flex fields, Flex Builder, and Standard Request Submission.
When you first define your flex fields, you choose how many segments you want to use and what order
you want them to appear. You also choose how you want to validate each of your segments. The
decisions you make affect how you define your value sets and your values.
You define your value sets first, either before or while you define your flex field
segment structures. You typically define your individual values only after your flex field has been
completely defined (and frozen and compiled). Depending on what type of value set you use, you may
not need to predefine individual values at all before you can use your flex field.
You can share value sets among segments in different flex fields, segments in
different structures of the same flex field, and even segments within the same flex field structure. You
can share value sets across key and descriptive flex fields. You can also use value sets for report
parameters for your reports that use the Standard Report Submission feature.
Navigation Path:
Login – Application Developer -> Application -> Validation -> Set
37.Value Validation Types?
Ans.
1. Dependant
2. Independent
3. None
4. Pair
5. Special
6. Table
7. Translate Independent
8. Translate Dependent
38.Incompatibility in report registration and Run Alone?
Identify programs that should not run simultaneously with your concurrent program because they might
interfere with its execution.
You can specify your program as being incompatible with itself.
Application: Although the default for this field is the application of your concurrent program, you can
enter any valid application name.
Name: The program name and application you specify must uniquely identify a
concurrent program. Your list displays the user-friendly name of the program, the short name, and the
description of the program.
Scope: Enter Set or Program Only to specify whether your concurrent program is zincompatible with this
program and all its child requests (Set)
or only with this program (Program Only).
Run Alone: Indicate whether your program should run alone relative to all other programs in the same
logical database. If the execution of your program
interferes with the execution of all other programs in the same logical database (in other words, if your
program is incompatible with all programs in itslogical database, including itself), it should run alone.
Oracle interview questions

1. What are the various types of Exceptions ?
User defined and Predefined Exceptions.
2.Can we define exceptions twice in same block ?
No.
3.What is the difference between a procedure and a function ?
Functions return a single variable by value where as procedures do not return any variable by value.
Rather they return multiple variables by passing variables by reference through their OUT parameter.
4.Can you have two functions with the same name in a PL/SQL block ?
Yes.
5.Can you have two stored functions with the same name ?
Yes.
6.Can you call a stored function in the constraint of a table ?
No.
7.What are the various types of parameter modes in a procedure ?
IN, OUT AND INOUT.
8.What is Over Loading and what are its restrictions ?

OverLoading means an object performing different functions depending upon the no. of parameters or
the data type of the parameters passed to it.
9.Can functions be overloaded ?
Yes.
10.Can 2 functions have same name & input parameters but differ only by return datatype
No.
11.What is Ref Cursor in Oracle ?
By using Ref cursor we can change the select statementdynamically at runtime which is available in the
cursordefinition based on some validation.For this we need todefine ref cursor type by using following
syntax.
type<type_name> is ref cursor return <return_type>;
here<type_name> is the name of the ref cursor and
<return_type> will be the return type of ref cursor it may
be %type/%rowtype/record type/plsql table type/nested table
type/varray type.
if<return_type> is mentioned we will called it as strong
ref cursor.
if<return_type> is not mentioned we will called it as weak
ref cursor.
after this we need to define ref cursor variable by usingthe following syntax.
v_variable_name ref_cursor_type_name;
then based on validations we can change the ref cursor
dynamically.
for example
------------------
declare
type ref_cur is ref cursor;
v_ref_cur ref_cur;
v_deptno emp.deptno%type;
begin
select deptno into v_deptno from emp where empno=7788;
if v_deptno=20 then
open v_ref_cur for select * from emp;
elsif v_deptno=30 then
open v_ref_cur for select * from dept;
else
open v_ref_cur for select * from salgrade;
end if;
end;
What Is a Collection?
A collection is an ordered group of elements, all of the same type. It is a general concept that
encompasses lists, arrays,and other familiar data types. Each element has a unique subscript that
determines its position in the collection.
PL/SQL offers these collection types:
Index-by tables, also known as associative arrays, let you look up elements using arbitrary numbers and
strings for subscript values.
(They are similar to hash tables in other programming languages.)
Nested tables hold an arbitrary number of elements. They use sequential numbers as subscripts. You
can define equivalent SQL types,
allowing nested tables to be stored in database tables and manipulated through SQL.
Varrays (short for variable-size arrays) hold a fixed number of elements (although you can change the
number of elements at runtime).
They use sequential numbers as subscripts. You can define equivalent SQL types, allowing varrays to be
stored in database tables.
They can be stored and retrieved through SQL, but with less flexibility than nested tables.

24. How to register a table and columns through back end
by using AD_DD package
- for registering a table
-
- AD_DD BPI doesn?t check for the existence of the registered table or column in the data base schema,
but only updates the required SQL tables.
- It should be ensured that, all the tables and columns registered exist actually and have the same
format as that defined using AD_DD API.
- Views need not be registered.
25. How to write to a file through concurrent program.
By using FND_FILE package and it can be used only for log and output files.
1. FND_FILE.PUT
- this is used to write text to a file with out a new line character
- Multilane calls to FND_FILE.PUT will produce consummated text.
Procedure FND_FILE.PUT (which IN Number, Buff IN varchar2);
- can be FND_FILE.LOG or FND_FILE.OUTPUT.
2. FND_FILE.PUT_LINE 11
- this procedure as used to write a line of text to a file followed by a new line character.
Procedure FND_FILE.PUT_LINE (which IN number, buff IN varchar2);
EX:- FND_FILE.PUT_LINE( FND_FILE.LOG, find_message_get);
3. FND_FILE.NEW_LINE
- this procedure is used to write line terminators to a file
procedure FND_FILE.NEW_LINE (which IN number LINES IN NATURAL:=1);
Ex:- to write two newline characters to a log file
Fnd_file.new_line (fnd_file.log,2);
4. FND_FILE.PUT_NAMES
- this procedure as used to set the temporary log file and output filenames and the temporary directory
to the user specified values.
- This should be called before calling my other FND_FILE procedure and only once per a session.

program in varchar2 default null,
description in varchar2 default null,
start-time in varchar2 default null,
sub_request in bookan default False,
argument1,
arguemnt2,
argument 100) return number;
If this is submitted from oracle forms, all the arguments ( 1 to 100 ) must be specified. 12
27. How to submit concurrent programs through OS
- From the operating system the utility .CONCSUB is used to submit is concurrent propgram.
- This is basically used to test a concurrent program .
- By using the WAIT token. The utility checks the request status every 60 seconds and returns the OS
prompt upon completion of the request.
- Concurrent manager doesnot abort, shutdown or start up until the concurrent request completes.
If the concurrent program is compatible with it self, it can be checked for data integrity and dead locks
by submitting it many times so that it runs concurrently with it self.
PL/SQL procedures can submit a request to run a program as a concurrent process by calling.
FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST.
Before submitting a request, the following functions also should be called optionally.
FND_REQUEST.SET_OPTIONS
FND_REQUEST.SET_REPEAT_OPTIONS
FND_REQUEST.SET_PRINT_OPTIONS
FND_REQUEST.SET_MODE
28. How to checks the request states
- A PL/SQL procedure can check the status of a concurrent request by calling.
FND_CONCURENT.GET_REQUEST_STATUS
FND_CONCURRENT.WAIT_FOR_REQUEST
- FND_CONCURRENT.GET_REQUEST_STATUS
- This function returns the status of a concurrent request
- If the request is already computed, it also returns the completion message.
- This function returns both user friendly (translatable) phase and status values as well as developer
phase and status vales that can drive program logic. 13
( request_id in out number,
application in varchar2 default null,
program in varchar2 default null,
phase out varchar2,
status out varchar,
dev_phase out varchar2,
dev_status out varchar2,
message out varchar2) return BOOLEAN;
- when application and program are specified, the request_id of the last request for the specified
program should be returned to request_id.
- Phase, and status values should be taken from
FND_LOOKUPS
dev_phase dev_status
pending normal, standby, scheduled, paused
running normal, waiting, resuming, terminating.
Complete normal, Error, warning, cancelled, terminated
Inactive disabled, on-hold, No-manager, supended
- FND_REQUEST.WAIT_FOR_REQUEST
- This function waits for request completion, then returns the request phase/status and completion
message to the caller.
- Goes to sleep between checks for request completion.
Syntax
( request_id in number default null,
interval in number default 60,
max_wait in numbe default 0, 14
phase out varchar2,
status out varchar2,
dev_phase out varchar2,
dev_status out varchar2,
message out varchar2) return BOOLEN;
FND_CONCURRENT.SET_COMPLETION_STATUS
- this function should be called from a concurrent program to set its completion states.
- This function returns TRUE on success, other wise FALSE.
ENT.SET_COMPLETION_STATUS
( status in varchar2,
message in varchar2) return BOOLEAN;
normal
status warning
Error
29. What is the reason for not getting any data when a multi org view is quired
- to get the data correctly, the xxx-ALL must be referenced and the ORG_ID value should be specified to
extract portioned data.
- Multiorg views are partitioned by using ORG_ID.
- So access through multiorg views will not return any roes, as the CLIENT_INFO Value is not set
- Use HR_OPERATING UNITS to identify the organization _id of the OU on which query is based.
- Use FND_CLIENT_INFO package to set the value in CLIENT INPO using set_org_contest.
- Execute fnd_client_info. Set_org_context („<org_id>?);
- Now qurying of multiorg views can be done. 15
30. How do you find that multiorg is installed
- multi organization architecture is meant to allow multiple companies or subsidiaries to store their
records with in a single data base.
- Multiple organization Architecture allows this by partitioning data through views in APPS schema.
- Implementation of Multi org generally includes more than one business group.
To know whether multiorg is existing or not
select multi_org_flag
form fnd_product_groups
- if the result is „Y? means the database is group for multiorg
31. what are Handlers

Handler is a group of packaged procedures which is used by Oracle Applications to organize .PL/SQL
code in forms.
- Handlers provide a way to centralize the code so that it becomes easier to develop, maintain and
debug.
- The packaged procedures available in a handler are called form the triggers by passing the name of the
trigger as an argument for the procedure to process.
Handlers are types :- 1) Item Handlers
2) Event Handlers
3) Table Handlers
4) Business Rules
- Handlers reside in program units in the form or in stored packed in the database.
32)Adding Table handler Logic
Coding logic for window and alternative region control.
Adding fin-windows and/or ROW-LOV?S and enable query-find.
Coding logic for item relations such as dependent fields.
Coding messages to use message dictionary. 16
Adding FF logic if required.
Adding choices to the special mence and logic to modify choices the default menu and tool bar behavior
is necessary.
Coding any other logic.
Creating a form function for the developed form and registering any sub functions.
Testing the form by it self.
Registering the form with AOL.
Adding the form function to a menu or creating custom mence.
Assigning the menu to the responsibility and assigning the responsibility to the user.
Testing the form within Oracle Applications.
33.what is the differnce between org_id and organization_id
org_id column tables are operating_unit tables,Organization_id tables are inventory Related tables.
34. What is a Data Group?
- A data group is a group of oracle applications and the Oracle ID’s of each application
- Oracle ID grants access privileges to tables in an Oracle Database
- Data group determines which Oracle Data base accounts a responsibilities forms, concurrent programs
and reports connect to.
35. What is a Responsibility?
- Responsibility defines Applications Privileges
- A responsibility is a level of authority in Oracle Applications that lets users only those Oracle
Applications functions and data appropriate to their roles in an organization.
- Each user has at list one or more responsibilities and several users can share the same responsibility 22
Each responsibility allows access to
- a specific application or a set of applications.
- A set of books
- A restricted list of windows that an user can navigate
- Reports in a specific application.
36. What are security Attributes
- Security Attributes are used by Oracle self service web Applications to allow rows of data to be visible
to specified users responsibilities based on the specific data contained in the row.
37. What is a Profile Option

- profile options are the set of changeable options that affects how the application looks and behaves.
- By setting profile options, the applications can be made to react in different ways for different users
depending on the specific user attributes.
38. What are steps involved in developing a flex field
- designing the table structure
- creating fields on the form (Visible/Hidden)
- calling appropriate routines
- registration of the flex field.
- Definition of the flex field.
<Flex fields / key/ Register>
<Flex fields/Descriptions / Register>
39. What is an application /Module

pl/sql.
FND_GLOBAL.APPS_INITIALIZE (user_id,resp_id, resp_appl_id)
42) What are the types of Concurrent Managers
3 MASTER CONCURRENT MANAGERS:
1. Internal Conccurent Manager (ICM): This is the one which monitors all other CMs
2. Standard Manager (SM) : This takes care of report running and batch jobs
3. Conflict Resolution Manager (CRM): checks concurrent program definitions for incompatability
checks.
We cannot delete a concurrent manager... but we can disable it... but it's not recommended.
43) multi org set up in pl/sql block
Begin dbms_application_info.set_client_info('ORG_ID');
end;
44. What is the relation between Responsibility, Menu and Request Group
Responsibility: - A responsibility is a set of authority in Oracle Apps that lets users access only that
functionality of the application appropriate to their roles.
Menu: - A menu is a hierarchical arrangement of functions and menus of functions that appears in the
Navigator. Each responsibility has a menu assigned to it.
Request Group: - it is a collection of reports or concurrent programs. A system Administrator defines

report groups in order to control user access to reports and concurrent programs. Only a system
administrator can create a request group.
45. What is a function, how to create one
A function is apart of an application’s functionality that is registered under a unique name for the
purpose of assigning to it to, or excluding it from, a menu (and by extension, responsibility). There are
several types of functions: - Form Functions, SubFunctions, and
Non-form functions. We often refer to a form function simply as a form.
46. What is meant by APPL_TOP
Environment variable
An operating System variable that describes an aspect of the environment in which your application
runs. For example, you can define an environment variable to specify a directory path. 26
$APPL_TOP: An environment variable that denotes the installation directory for Oracle Application
Object Library and your other Oracle applications. $APPL_TOP is usually one directory level above each
of the product directories (which are often referred to as $PROD_TOP or $PRODUCT_TOP or
$<prod>_TOP).
47. Explain briefly where are the Custom.pll, Forms, Reports, Sql Loader Control files, Shell Script source
code and executables files kept
Custom.pll - $AU_TOP/resource
Forms - $PROD_TOP/Forms/US
Reports - $PROD_TOP/Reports/US
SQL Control Files - $PROD_TOP/Bin
Shell Scripts - $PROD_TOP/Bin
48. When is Custom.pll used
Custom.pll is used while making new or customizing standard oracle forms in apps. It contains all the
forms libraries for apps.
49. What are profile options; at what levels can these be set
A user profile is a set of changeable options that affects the way the applications run. Oracle
Applications object Library establishes a value for each option in a user?s profile when the
User logs on or changes responsibility.
System Profile: - Profile option can be set for the user community.
User Profile: - Provide Oracle Apps with standard information which describes a user,
Application, Responsibility and site. At each profile level user profile options can be set.
50. How can you know the form (fmb) name when you open a form in Apps
Help
51. Where do you create a table and sequence in Apps Is it APPS schema
In custom schema and then grant privileges on it to APPS schema.
52. Where are Views and Procedures created 27
Views: - Views are to be created only in APPS.
Procedures: - In custom schema and the grant it to APPS schema.
53. How can you tell who last updated a particular row in a form
54. You have logged onto a Responsibility, how do you know what operating unit are you on
55) Can new profiles be created If so how
Yes. Application Developer.
56)How do you register a report Explain passing of parameters between a concurrent program
Definition and report
After developing the report (.rdf), FTP it to the UNIX server.
Define executable.
Define concurrent program and attach the executable.
Attach the concurrent program to a request group.
57) What is the approach to create a new form to be used in Oracle Apps
The TEMPLATE form is the required starting point of all development of new forms. Start
Developing each new form by copying the TEMPLATE.fmb file, located in
$AU_TOP/forms/US(or your language and platform equivalent), to local directory and
Rename it as appropriate.
58. Explain Value Set Difference between a Table Validated and Independent Value Set
A set of values against which Oracle Application Object Library validates values your end
users enter when running your program. You define your value set by specifying validation 28
rules, format constraints and other properties. For example, you could define a value set to
contain values that are character strings, validated from a table in your application. You can
Specify that oracle application Object Library use the same value set to validate different
Report parameters. You can also use value sets that you use in your flex fields to validate
Your report parameters.
59. How do you create a table validated value set dependent on another value set
Use :$FLEX$.<Value set name> in the where condition.
60. What is difference between a concurrent request and a concurrent request set
Concurrenct Request means containing only one concurrent program,Concurrent request set containing
list of concurrenct programs(group of programs)
61. What are the two mandatory parameters required for running a PL/SQL Procedure based concurrent
program
Errbuf, Retcode
62. How can you ensure that only one instance of a concurrent program runs
Check the "Run Alone" check box in Concurrent program registration window.
63. Within a PL/SQL procedure which API is to be used to extract a profile value
FND_PROFILE.GET
64. How do you set the operating unit context in a report
Begin
Dbms_application_info.set_client_info(<Organization_Id>);
End;
65. Can you submit a concurrent request from the operating system directly
Write a Shellscript.
Login to database
Run the function FND_REQUEST.Submit()
66. Explain how to generate a trace file for a pl/sql concurrent program for tuning
Check the?Enable Trace? check box in concurrent program registration window.
67. How do you “write” to the concurrent request Log and Output file
FND_FILE.PUT(FND_FILE.LOG or FND_FILE.OUTPUT, <Text>);
68. What is the difference between Operating Unit and Inventory Organization
Operating Unit :- An Organization that uses Oracle Cash management, Order management and Shipping
Execution, Oracle Payables, Oracle Purchasing, and Oracle Receivables. It may be a sales Office, a
division, or a dept. An operating unit is associated with a legal entity. Information is secured by
operating unit for these applications. Each user sees information only for their operating unit. To run
any of these applications, you choose a responsibility associated with an organization classified as an
operating unit.
An organization for which you track inventory transactions and balances, and/or an organization that
manufactures or distributes products. Examples, include (but are not limited to) manufacturing plants,
warehouses, distribution centers, and sales offices. The following applications secure information by
inventory organization: Oracle inventory, Bills of Material, Engineering, and Work in Process, Master
Scheduling/MRP, Capacity, and Purchasing receiving functions. To run any of these applications, you
must choose an organization that has been classified as an inventory organization.
69. What is Set of Books?
A financial reporting entity that uses a particular chart of accounts, functional currency,And accounting
calendar. Oracle General Ledger secures transaction information (such as journal entries and balances)
by set of books. When you use Oracle General Ledger, you choose a responsibility that specifies a set of
books. You then see information for that set of books only.
70. What is Item Validation Organization
The organization that contains your master list of items. You define it by setting the OM: Item Validation
Organization parameter. You must define all items and bills in your Item Validation Organization, but
you also need to maintain your items and bills in separate organizations if you want to ship them from
other warehouses.
71. Mention the table or views where Inventory Org, Items, Set of Books, GL Code Combinations,
Operating Unit, Location, Customers, Vendors, and Invoices are stored in Apps.
Inventory Org: - MTL_PARAMETERS/ORG_ORGANIZATION_DEFINITIONS
Items: - MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_B
Set of Books: - GL_SETS_OF_BOOKS
GL Code Combinations: - GL_CODE_COMBINATIONS
Operating Unit: - HR_ALL_OPERATING_UNITS
Location: - MTL_ITEM_LOCATIONS
Customers: - RA_CUSTOMERS
Vendors: - AP_SUPPLIER_CONTACTS_ALL
Invoices: - AP_INVOICES_ALL
72. What is the profile to be read to find out what Inventory Organization and Operating Unit are you on
(mfg_organization_id is the Inventory Org)

73)What is Inventory Master Organization
Items are defined in an Inventory Master Organization.
74)What is the difference between key flexfield and Descriptive flexfield
Key Flexfield is used to describe unique identifiers that will have a better meaning than using number
IDs. e.g a part number, a cost centre etc Desc Flex is used to just capture extra information. Key
Flexfields have qualifiers whereas Desc Flexfields do not. Desc Flexfields can have context sensitive
segments while Key flexfields cannot.
And one more differenct that KFF displays like text item but DFF displays like [ ] .
75)Which procedure should be called to enable a DFF in a form
FND_DESCR_FLEX.DEFINE (BLOCK => 'BLOCK_NAME' ,FIELD => 'FORM_FIELD_NAME'

,APPL_SHORT_NAME => 'APP_NAME' ,DESC_FLEX_NAME => 'DFF_NAME' );
76)Which procedure should be used to make the DFF read only at run time
FND_DESCR_FLEX.UPDATE_DEFINITION()
77)What is the difference between flexfield qualifier and segment qualifier
Flexfiled qualifier identifies segement in a flexfield and segment qualifier identifies value in a segment.
There are four types of flexfiled qualifier 1) Balancing segment qualifier 2) cost center 3) natural account
and 4) intercompnay
segemtn qualifier :- 1) allow budgeting 2) allow posting 3) account type 4) contral account and 5)
reconciliation flag
78)Where do concurrent request logfiles and output files go
The concurrent manager first looks for the environment variable $APPLCSF If this is set, it creates a path
using two other environment variables: $APPLLOG and $APPLOUT It places log files in
$APPLCSF/$APPLLOG Output files go in $APPLCSF/$APPLOUT So for example, if you have this
environment set: $APPLCSF = /u01/appl/common $APPLLOG = log $APPLOUT = out The concurrent
manager will place log files in /u01/appl/common/log, and output files in /u01/appl/common/out Note
that $APPLCSF must be a full, absolute path, and the other two are directory names. If $APPLCSF is not
set, it places the files under the product top of the application associated with the request. So for
example, a PO report would go under $PO_TOP/$APPLLOG and $PO_TOP/$APPLOUT Logfiles go to:
/u01/appl/po/9.0/log Output files to: /u01/appl/po/9.0/out Of course, all these directories must exist
and have the correct permissions. Note that all concurrent requests produce a log file, but not
necessarily an output file.
79)How do I check if Multi-org is installed
SELECT MULTI_ORG_FLAG FROM FND_PRODUCT_GROUPS
If MULTI_ORG_FLAG is set to 'Y', Then its Multi Org.
80)How do I find out what the currently installed release of Applications is /How do I find the name of a
form
We can also find out through Help > About Oracle Applications
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.

f. Shutdown and restart your Internal Concurrent Manager (ICM) so that the
concurrent manager will recognize the change to the environment that was
made to the APPLSYS.env and Registry.
96. How to get the data from the views in Multi_ORG views
A. Using the profiles and client info package.
Eg:
SELECT FROM po_headers – this is multi org view
If we can?t get the data with the above query then we have to write a procedure as shown below.
DECLARE
x NUMBER:=0; 39
BEGIN
x:=fnd_profile.value('org_id');
fnd_client_info.set_org_context (204);
END;
Compile and run the query once again.

97) What is Responsibility / Request Group
Ans: Responsibility is used for security reason like which Responsibility can do what type of jobs etc.
Set of Responsibility is attached with a Request group. When we attach the request group to a
concurrent program, that can be perform using all the Responsibilities those are attached with Request
group.
98) What is DFF
Ans: The Descriptive Flexi field is a field that we can customize to enter additional information for which
Oracle Apps product has not provided a field.
Ex. ATP program calculates for those warehouses where Inventory Org Type is DC or Warehouse in DFF
Attribute11 of MTL_PARAMETERS table.
99) What is Value Set
Ans: Value Sets define and store the valid items of data, which may be entered into a field.
Key Flexfields, Descriptive Flexfields and many standard fields use Value Sets.
Oracle already comes with hundreds of Value Sets.
We define additional Value Sets to support our own user-defined Key and Descriptive Flexfields
(although we may use any existing standard Value Sets if they suit our purpose).
In defining a new Value Set, we are defining the physical format of valid data, which can reside in that
Value Set.
Data in a Value Set can be of several types:
Independently loaded into a Value Set (through a standard form).
Resident in a table (to which we direct the Value Set definition).
There could be No Validation (any data can go into the field, but still subject to the formatting rules.)
Dependent on the value of data in a preceding Independent segment (loaded through a standard form).
Ex: For Supplies & Accessories CC in ATP, we define GEMS_GPO_ASSIGN_SET value set for the
assignment set associated with that OU.
100) What is multi-org
Ans: It is data security functionality in Oracle 10.6 and above. Applicable User responsibilities are
created and attached to specific Operating Unit. User can access the data that belongs to the Operating
unit they login under. 40
The benefit is it enables multiple operating units to use a single installation of various modules, while
keeping transaction data separate and secure by operating unit.
It has an effect on the following modules:
Order Entry
Receivable
Payable
Purchasing
Project Accounting
101) Can you explain the Organization structure
Ans:
a) Business Unit / Group : It represents the highest level in Organization structure and has no accounting
impact. It determines which employees will be available to Set Of Books and Operating Units.
Ex: Consolidated Enterprise / a major division / an operating company.
b) Set Of Books: It is a financial reporting entity that uses a particular
Chart of accounts,
Functional currency and
Accounting calendar.
It is the highest level with accounting significance. Document Sequencing (important in Europe) is at the
Set of Books level. Also Period open/close is at the Set of Books level.
A Set of Books is associated with only one Business Group. A Business Group may be assigned several
Sets of Books i.e Multiple sets of books can share the same business group if they share the same
business group attributes.
Base Table: apps.gl_sets_of_books
c) Legal Entity: A legal company for which you prepare fiscal or tax reports.
Each Legal Entity is associated with only one Set of Books. A Set of Books may have multiple Legal
Entities.
Base Table: apps.hr_legal_entities
d) Operating Unit: An organization that uses oracle order management, cash management, shipping
execution, payables, purchasing and receivables.
It may be a sales office, a division, or a department. Standard reports are at the Operating Unit level.
An operating unit is associated with a legal entity.
Base Table: apps.hr_operating_units
e) Inventory Organization : An organization for which you track inventory transactions and balances,
and/or an organization that manufactures or distributes products.
An Operating Unit may have multiple Inventory Organizations.
Ex: manufacturing plants, warehouses, distribution centers, and sales offices. 41
Base View: apps.org_organization_definitions
f) Subinventory: An inventory organization has a number of subinventories associated with it.
Base Table: apps.mtl_secondary_inventories (secondary_inventory_name = subinventory name)
g) Locator : These are the different locations in side a subinventory.
Base Table: apps.mtl_item_locations
105)What are the mandatory parameters in Concurrent program
Ans: errbuf and Retcode (In case pl/sql store procedure)
p_conc_request_id (In case Oracle Report, it is an user-parameter)

106)Why we use token field for Concurrent program
Ans: The Token is used as for binding purpose. The parameter value is passed to the .rdf/procedure
through this token. The input (user) parameter value passes to the report / stored procedure after
binding with this token. The concurrent program won?t get impact even the user parameter names get
changed, but got impacted when the token name changed.
107) What are the mandatory parameters in concurrent programs
Ans: errbuf
errcode.
108)Those are IN or OUT parameters.
Ans: Out Parameters
109)What is Request group
Ans: Responsibility is used for security reason like which Responsibility can do what type of jobs etc.
Set of Responsibility is attached with a Request group. When we attach the request group to a
concurrent program, that can be perform using all the Responsibilities those are attached with Request
group.
110)What is MultiOrg 42
unit they login under.
Order Entry
Receivable
Payable
Purchasing
Project Accounting
111)There is an Object type “Spawned” in concurrent program. What is the use
Ans: It is used for Proc C in executable field
112)How can we call a Report from Form in Apps
Thru concurrent prog
113) what are the setup we need to do before running into Oracle Apps.
Ans: Go to Oracle Apps > System Administraror (Responsibility) > Create a User using SSO > Add
responsibility
Switch to COE Dev Sys Administrator (Responsibility) > Add the Responsibility that is attached to the
newly created User > menue > exclude / include the function according to the requirement
114) What is multi_org
unit they login under.
Order Entry
Receivable
Payable
Purchasing
Project Accounting
115) What is the difference between po_headers & po_headers_all
Ans: Here comes the concept of multi_org. po_headers contains data that is irrespective of multi_org i.e
any supplier can view all the records. In case of po_headers_all 43
116) What is the basic requirement that we need to set before starting a form in Oracle Apps
Ans:
a) FTP the templet.fmb From $au_top/bin To Local m/c
b) Rename the templet.fmb as User defined name
c) Trigger Level Change: Pre_Form : app_window.set_window_position('BLK_ORG', 'FIRST_WINDOW'); --

1st Window Name
set_window_property('BLK_ORG',title,'Form name') -- 1st Window Name, caption
Block Level Change: Rename Default_block
Form Level Change: Property Panel > Navigation > First Navigation Data Block > (Set A Block Name)
Program Unit Level: App_custom > (set the 1st window name)
118) What is the API we use to see the message from log file
Ans:
When we use an API, it automatically stores the error message in a pl/sql table i.e creating a log of the
errors.
We can see those error messages thougt fnd_message_pub API
119)There is a check box called Use in SRS. What is its use

SRS stands for Standard Request Submit. We can execute concurrent program by directly passing
parameters. On checking this „Use In SRS? check box, we can independently use the concurrent
program.
120)Do you know Extension table
Ans: Unlike database table, it store outside the database like BFile (content store outside the DB but the
location store in DB like pointer). It contains metadata only. So no DML operation (except SELECT, Group
by, Order By) can possible.
121)Why do we call FND SRWINIT from Before Report Trigger
A. FND SRWINIT fetches concurrent request information and sets up the profile options. It must be
included if one is using any ORACLE APPLICATION OBJECT LIBRARY features in his report (such as
concurrent processing)
122)Why do we call FND SRWEXIT from After Report Trigger
A. FND SRWEXIT frees all the memory allocations done in other Oracle Applications user exits. It must be
included if one is using any ORACLE APPLICATION OBJECT LIBRARY features in his report (such as
concurrent processing)
123) why do we call FND FLEXSQL from the Before Report Trigger
A. One need to pass the concatenated segment values from the underlying code combinations table to
the user exit so that it can display appropriate data and derive any description and values from switched
value sets as needed. One gets this information by calling the AOL user exit FND FLEXSQL from the
before report Trigger. 44
124. If u call the user exit FND FLEXSQL with MODE = “ WHERE” from the Before Report Trigger. What
will it do
A. This user exit populates a lexical parameter that you specify with the appropriate SQL fragment at run
time. You include this lexical parameter in the WHERE clause of the report query. This user exit is called
once for each lexical to be changed.
125. If u call the user exit FND FLEXSQL with MODE = “ ORDER BY” from the Before Report Trigger. What
will it do
A. This user Exit populates the lexical parameter that one specifies with the appropriate SQL fragment at
run time. One includes this lexical parameter in the ORDER BY clause of the report query. This user exit
is called once for each lexical to be changed.
126. How can we display flexfield segment values, descriptions, and prompts on the report
A. Create a formula Column. Call the user exit FND FLEXIDVAL as the formula for this column. This user
exit automatically fetches more complicated information such as descriptions and prompts so that one
does not has to use complicated table joins to the flex field tables.
127. Name some options of the FND FLEXSQL user exit
A CODE, APP_SHORT_NAME, OUTPUT, MODE, DISPLAY, SHOWDEPSEG, NUM or MULTINUM,

TABLEALIAS, OPERATOR, OPERAND1, OPERAND2.
128. Describe CODE option of the FND FLEXSQL user exit
A. Specify the flex field code for the report (for example, GL#, MCAT).
129. Describe the APP_SHORT_NAME option of the FND FLEXSQL user exit
A. Specifies the short name of the application that owns the flex field (for example: SQLGL, INV)
130. Describe the OUTPUT option of the FND FLEXSQL user exit
A. Specify the name of the lexical parameter to store the SQl fragment. One uses this lexical later in the
report when defining the SQL statement that selects the flexfield values. the datatype of this parameter
should be character.
131. Describe the MODE option of the FND FLEXSQL user exit
A. Specify the mode to use to generate the SQL fragment .valid mode are :
SELECT: Retrieves all segments values in an internal (non- displayable format).
WHERE: Restrict the query by specifying constraints on flexfield columns. The fragment returned
includes the correct decode statement if one specifies MULTINUM. One must also specify an OPERATOR
and OPERANDS.
HAVING: Same calling procedures and functionality as WHERE.
ORDER BY: Order required information by flexfield columns. The fragment Orders your flexfield columns
and separates them with a comma. The fragment returned includes the correct decode statement, one
specifies in MULTINUM.
132. Describe the DISPLAY option of the FND FLEXSQL user exit
A. One uses the DISPLAY token with the MODE token .the DISPLAY parameter allows you to specify
segments that represent specified flexfield qualifiers or specified segments numbers , 45
where the segment numbers are the order in that the segments appear in the flexfield window, not the
segment number specified in the Define Key Segments form.
Eg. If your MODE is SELECT and you specify DISPLAY = “ALL” then the SELECT statement includes all the
segments of the flexfield. . Similarly, if your MODE is WHERE and you specify DISPLAY = “ALL”, then your
WHERE clause includes all segments.
133. Describe the SHOWDEPSEG option of the FND FLEXSQL user exit
A. SHOWDEPSEG = “N” disables automatic addition of depended upon segments to the order criteria.
The default is “Y”. This token is valid only for MODE = “ODER BY” In FLEXSQL.
134. Describe the NUM option of the FND FLEXSQL user exit
A. Specify the name or lexical or source column that contains the flexfield structure information. If the
flexfield uses just one structure, specify NUM only and use a lexical parameter to hold the value. If the
flexfield uses multiple structures, specify MULTINUM only and use a source column to hold the value.
The default value is 101.
135. Describe the TABLE ALIAS option of the FND FLEXSQL user exit
A. You use TABLE ALIAS if your SELECT joins to other flexfield tables or uses a self – join.
136. Describe the OPERATOR option of the FND FLEXSQL user exit
A. Specify an operator to use in the WHERE clause.
137. Describe the OPERAND1 option of the FND FLEXSQL user exit
A. Specify an operand to use in the WHERE clause,
138. Describe the OPERAND2 option of the FND FLEXSQL user exit
A. Specify a second operand to use with OPERATOR = “BETWEEN”
139. Where is FND FLEXIDVAL user exit used
A. Call this user exit to populate fields for display. You pass the key flex fields data retrieved by the query
into this user exit from the formula column. With this exit you can display values, descriptions and
prompts by passing appropriate token (any one of VALUE, DECRIPTION<APROMPT or LPROMPT).

164). Different Type of Value Sets. What is exactly Translatable independent and Translatable
Dependent Value Sets (Introduced in latest version of 11i).
Ans:- There are 8 types of Values Sets.
a. None (Non Validate at all) (Validation is Minimal)
b. Independent (Input must exist on previous defined list of values)
c. Dependent (Input is checked against a subset of values based on prior Value)
d. Table (Input is checked against a subset of values in an application table)
e. Special (advanced) (Value set uses a flexfield itself)
f. Pair (advanced) (Two Flexfields together specify a range of valid values)
g. Translatable Independent (Input must exist on previous defined list of values. Translated value can be
used)
h. Translatable Dependent. (Input is checked against a subset of values based on a prior value;
translated value can be used)
(Note:- When you first define your flexfields, you choose how many segments
You want to use and what order you want them to appear. You also
Choose how you want to validate each of your segments. The decisions
You make affect how you define your value sets and your values.)
165) How to run a concurrent program. What all concurrent programs u have
created.
Ans:- (Definition :- A concurrent program is an instance of an execution file, along with

parameter definitions and incompatibilities. Concurrent programs use concurrent program executables
to locate the correct execution file.)
Oracle Tool Concurrent Program A concurrent program written in
Oracle Reports, PL/SQL package procedures,
SQL Loader, SQL Plus, Host Scripting.
How to Run : Write a execution file and place in correct directory.
Establish executables in Oracle apps specify execution file and method.
Define Concurrent Program (Program, Parameters and Incompatibilities)
Call your Program (- Thu application form, from other concurrent program.
- OR through standard request submission, you must check the „USE in SRS check box? and register your
program parameters when you define your concurrent program. Add your program into the request
security group for your custom application.)
I have created reports through concurrent program, load(sql loader/pl-sql pkg-proc) the file through
concurrent program.
166) What is parameter in apps and from where u can create it.
Ans:- Parameters only using in report, you can create in defining the report in
apps (you can create the parameter there only).
167)What all are the tables used in the modules u have worked on.
In GL – I have worked on GL_JE_HEADERS(JOURNALS HEADER),GL_JE_LINES(JOURNAL LINES),

GL_JE_BACHES(JOURNAL BATCHES), GL_SET_OF_BOOK(SET_OF_BOOK_ID),
In PO- I have worked on PO_HEADER_ALL…..
168)What is Profile Explain different levels of Profile.

Ans:- A user profile is a set of changeable options that affects the way your
applications run. Oracle Application Object Library establishes a value
for each option in a user?s profile when the user logs on or changes 50
responsibility. Your user can change the value of profile options at any
time a) To create Profile Option. ( Profile Option can created by developer in application developer area)
b)set the value (Values of the profile option , who will have what value at various levels is set by
SYSADMIN). Oracle Application Object Library provides many options that. (Edit profile feature for every
user is available to set any value to allow the user).your users can set to alter the user interface of your
applications to satisfy their individual preferences.
Profile Option – set at run time like – User Related, responsibility, Sequence, Printer, Security.
Values in 4 Levels(HIEARCHY WISE) :-
A. USER
B. RESPONSIBILITY
C. APPLICATION
D. SITE
Application Developer create the profile.
System Administrator make profile option.
(NOTE:- If any change in value, it will active when you re-login or switch
to the responsibility.)
( Usage in the multi-tier, the profile is biggest impact)
169)How to restrict the data for a responsibility as per the ORG-ID
Ans:-Through Multi – Org(MO) u can restrict the data for a responsibility as per the ORG-ID. Only in GL-
Set of book Id you set the value to restrict the data for a responsibility.
170) What is Flexfield What is flexfield qualifier and what is segment qualifier
Ans:- A flexfield is made up a segments (Which are actually table columns). Each segment has a name
that can be assigned, and set of valid value.
Purpose and Application:-
Flexibility to implement code structure.
Flexibility to capture additional information.
Two Types of Flexfields in oracle apps.
1. Key Flexfields (KFF)
2. Descriptive Flexfields (DFF)
A key flexfield segment has a name you assign, and set of valid values you specify. Each value has a
meaning which can be specified.
Flexfield Qualifier:-A flexfield qualifier identifies a particular segment of a key flexfield..
Usually an application needs some method of identifying a particular
segment for some application purpose such as security or computations. However, since a key flexfield
can be customized so that segments appear in any order with any prompts, the application needs a
mechanism other than the segment name or segment order to
use for segment identification.
Segment Qualifier :- A segment qualifier identifies a particular type of value in a single
segment of a key flexfield.
In the Oracle Applications, only the. Accounting Flexfield uses segment qualifiers. You can think of a
segment qualifier as an ”identification tag” for a value. In the Accounting Flexfield, segment qualifiers
can identify the account type
171) Which flexfield qualifiers are mandatory
Ans:- "Balancing Segment" flexfield qualifier is mandatory.

172) Difference Between versions of Apps.(Front end & Database)
Ans:- In backend- Client server architecture (old)/ Three tire architecture
In font end- Client Server Application (old)/ Web Based application
173)What is MULTI-ORG and what is structure of multi-org.
Ans:- Use a single installation of any oracle applications product to support any number of organizations.
if those organizations use different set of books.
Support any number or legal entities with a single installation of oracle applications.
Secure access to data so that users can access only the information that is relevant to them.
Structure :- Business Unit
-HRMS(Employee)
-GL(Set of Books)(Currency, Calendar, Chart of Account)
Balancing Segment(You can do multiple balancing segment)
-Operating Units (Purchase, Selling, Fixed Asset, Payable,
Receivables)
-Inventory Organizations (Storing Items, Transaction Happening,
Ware Housing)
(Note:- Means if you maintaining GL(set of book id), If u have operating unit, if you
have inventory then its called MULTI-ORG)
174)What is difference between ORG_ID and ORGANIZATION_ID in Multi-Org.

At where we can set ORG_ID and ORGANIZATION_ID level it comes in the
structure.
Ans:-A Global Variable exists in the oracle database called CLIENT_INFO, which is 64 bytes long. The first
10 bytes are used to store the operating unit ID(or ORG_ID) for the multiple organization support
feature.
Multi-Org views are partitioned by ORG_ID. The ORG_ID value is stored in CLIENT_INFO variable.(It
comes in AP,PO,AR,OM level)
ORGANIZATION_ID – Its for Inventory, Mfg, & BOM.
175)ORG_ID can be set at master levels or transaction level.
Ans:- ORG_ID can be set at transaction Level.
176)Differnet type of execution methods in Conc.Progs. Explain Each Type.

b. PL/SQL Package Procedure - You can register your PL/SQL Package Procedure as executable file type is
oracle PL/SQL Package Procedure.
1. SQL Loader- You can register your SQL Loader SQL Loader is your executable file type.(for data
loading)
2. SQL Plus :- You can register your SQL script as SQL Plus executable type.
3. Host Scripting:- You can write down Unix Host scripting and register here.
177) What is difference between oracle schema and apps schema.
Ans:-Database Schema-
The APPS schema- is an ORACLE schema that has access to the
complete Oracle Applications data model. This schema is maintained
by Auto Install .
178)What are the objects APPS schema contain. 52
Ans:- The APPS schema contains synonyms to all tables and
sequences as well as all server–side code (stored procedures, views,
and database triggers).
For ERP applications, data partitioning is performed by database
views. These views reside in the APPS Oracle schema and derive the
appropriate operating unit context from an RDBMS variable.

most current flint60 are the standards to which everyone using flint60 must adhere.
1. How do I register a custom concurrent program
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, a C
program, a shell script etc. 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
180)How do I compile a custom C program
Spawned programs:
Step 1: Write the code Self-explanatory
Step 2: Compile the source You must use the makefile under $FND_TOP/usrxit Use: make -f
$FND_TOP/usrxit/Makefile program.o We do not support using any other makefile
Step 3: Link the program This part is a little tricky. You need to create a custom makefile for this step.
Use $FND_TOP/lib/sample.mk as a starting point. Copy this file to the lib directory under your
applications top directory. Rename it <short name>.mk (ie fnd.mk, gl.mk etc) Modify this file according
to the directions in it. Basically you need to 53
add a target and build commands for your executable. Next, use adrelink to link the executable: adrelink
force=y ranlib=y 'shortname programname'
Step 4: Register the program as in the above question
Immediate programs: Just don't do it.
181)How do I run a shell script as a concurrent program
1: Write the script and call it <name>.prog Place the script under the bin directory under your
applications top directory. For example, call the script CUSTOM.prog and place it under
$CUSTOM_TOP/bin
bin
2: Make a symbolic link from your script to $FND_TOP/bin/fndcpesr For example, if the script is called
CUSTOM.prog use this: ln -s $FND_TOP/bin/fndcpesr CUSTOM This link should be named the same as
your script without the .prog extension It should be in the same directory as the script.
3: Register a concurrent program as described above, using an execution method of 'Host' Use the name
of your script without the .prog extension as the name of the executable For the example above, you
would use CUSTOM CUSTOM
4: Your script will be passed at least 4 parameters, in $1 through $4 These will be: orauser/pwd, userid,
username, request_id Any other parameters you define will be passed in $5 and higher. Make sure your
script returns an exit status.
define will be passed in $5 and higher. Make sure your script returns an exit status.
5: If your script returns a failure exit status but the concurrent manager does not report the error (shows
it as still running normal) apply patch 442824

GL_JE_HEADERS(JOURNALS HEADER),GL_JE_LINES(JOURNAL LINES), GL_JE_BACHES(JOURNAL BATCHES),
GL_SET_OF_BOOK(SET_OF_BOOK_ID),
In PO- I have worked on PO_HEADER_ALL…..
226)What is Profile Explain different levels of Profile. Ans:- A user profile is a set of changeable options
that affects the way your
applications run. Oracle Application Object Library establishes a value

for each option in a user?s profile when the user logs on or changes
responsibility. Your user can change the value of profile options at any
time a) To create Profile Option. ( Profile Option can created by developer in application developer area)
b)set the value (Values of the profile option , who will have what value at various levels is set by
SYSADMIN). Oracle Application Object Library provides many options that. (Edit profile feature for every
user is available to set any value to allow the user).your users can set to alter the user interface of your
applications to satisfy their individual preferences. Profile Option – set at run time like – User Related,
responsibility, Sequence, Printer, Security.
61 Values in 4 Levels(HIEARCHY WISE) :- E. USER
F. RESPONSIBILITY
G. APPLICATION
H. SITE
Application Developer create the profile. System Administrator make profile option. (NOTE:- If any
change in value, it will active when you re-login or switch to the responsibility.)
( Usage in the multi-tier, the profile is biggest impact)
227)How to restrict the data for a responsibility as per the ORG-ID Ans:-Through Multi – Org(MO) u can
restrict the data for a responsibility as per the ORG-ID. Only in GL- Set of book Id you set the value to
restrict the data for a responsibility.
228) is Flexfield What is flexfield qualifier and what is segment qualifier Ans:- A flexfield is made up a
segments (Which are actually table columns). Each segment has a name that can be assigned, and set of
valid value.
Purpose and Application:-
Flexibility to implement code structure.
Flexibility to capture additional information.
Two Types of Flexfields in oracle apps.
1. Key Flexfields (KFF)
2. Descriptive Flexfields (DFF)

A key flexfield segment has a name you assign, and set of valid values you specify. Each value has a
meaning which can be specified. Flexfield Qualifier:-A flexfield qualifier identifies a particular segment of
a key flexfield.. Usually an application needs some method of identifying a particular
segment for some application purpose such as security or computations. However, since a key flexfield
can be customized so that segments appear in any order with any prompts, the application needs a
mechanism other than the segment name or segment order to
use for segment identification.
Segment Qualifier :- A segment qualifier identifies a particular type of value in a single segment of a key
flexfield.
In the Oracle Applications, only the. Accounting Flexfield uses segment qualifiers. You can think of a
segment qualifier as an identification tag for a value. In the Accounting Flexfield, segment qualifiers can
identify the account type
229)Which flexfield qualifiers are mandatory Ans:- „Balancing Segment? flex field qualifier is
mandatory.
230)Difference Between versions of Apps.(Front end & Database) Ans:- In backend- Client server
architecture (old)/ Three tire architecture

248)What are Flexfields
Ans. A Flexfield is a customizable field that opens in a window from a regular Oracle Applications
window. Defining flexfields enables you to tailor Oracle Applications to your own business needs. By
using flexfields, you can: (a) Structure certain identifiers required by oracle applications according to
your own business environment.
(b) Collect and display additional information for your business as needed.
Key Flexfields: You use key flexfields to define your own structure for many of the identifiers required by
Oracle Applications. Profile – „Flexfields:Open Key Window? (FND_ID_FLEXS)
Descriptive Flexfield: You use descriptive flexfields to gather additional information about your business
entities beyong the information required by Oracle Applications. Profile – Flexfields: Open Descr
Window? (FND_DESCRIPTIVE_FLEXS) 249) Request Set and where do you define it
Ans. Request sets allow you to submit multiple requests together using multiple execution path. A
request set is a collection of reports and /or programs that are grouped together. A stage is a
component of a request set used to group requests within the set. All of the requests in a given stage
are executed in parallel. Advantages of stages are the ability to execute several requests in parallel and
then move sequentially to the next stage.

FORMS QUESTIONAIRE:
Types of Triggers in Forms

1. Types of Triggers in Forms
Block-processing triggers: - Block processing triggers fire in response to events related to record
management in a block. E.g. When-Create-Record, When-Clear-Block, When-Database-Record,
When-Remove-Record
Interface event triggers: - Interface event triggers fire in response to events that occur in the form
interface. Some of these triggers, such as When-Button-Pressed, fire only in response to operator
input or manipulation. Others, like When-Window-Activated, can fire in response to both operator
input and programmatic control. E.g. When-Button-Pressed, When-Checkbox-Changed, Key- [all],
When-Radio-Changed, When-Timer-Expired, When-Window-Activated, When-Window-Resized
Master-detail triggers: - Form Builder generates master-detail triggers automatically when you
define a master-detail relation between blocks. The default master-detail triggers enforce
coordination between records in a detail block and the master record in a master block. Unless
you are developing your own custom block-coordination scheme, you do not need to define these
triggers yourself. Instead, simply create a relation object, and let Form Builder generate the
triggers required to manage coordination between the master and detail blocks in the relation.
E.g. On-Check-Delete-Master, On-Clear-Details, On-Populate-Details
Message-handling triggers: - Form Builder automatically issues appropriate error and

informational messages in response to runtime events. Message handling triggers fire in
response to these default messaging events. E.g. On-Error, On-Message
Navigational triggers: - Navigational triggers fire in response to navigational events. For instance,
when the operator clicks on a text item in another block, navigational events occur as Form
Builder moves the input focus from the current item to the target item. Navigational events occur
at different levels of the Form Builder object hierarchy (Form, Block, Record, Item). Navigational
triggers can be further sub-divided into two categories: Pre- and Post- triggers, and When-New-
Instance triggers. Pre- and Post- triggers fire as Form Builder navigates internally through
different levels of the object hierarchy. As you might expect, these triggers fire in response to
navigation initiated by an operator, such as pressing the [Next Item] key. However, be aware that
these triggers also fire in response to internal navigation that Form Builder performs during
default processing. To avoid unexpected results, you must consider such internal navigation
when you use these triggers. E.g. Pre-Form, Pre-Block, Pre-Text-Item, Post-Text-Item, Post-
Record, Post-Block, Post-Form
When-New-Instance triggers fire at the end of a navigational sequence that places the input focus
in a different item. Specifically, these triggers fire just after Form Builder moves the input focus to
a different item, when the form returns to a quiet state to wait for operator input. Unlike the Pre-
and Post- navigational triggers, the When-New-Instance triggers do not fire in response to internal
navigational events that occur during default form processing. E.g. When-New-Form-Instance,
When-New-Block-Instance, When-New-Record-Instance, When-New-Item-Instance
Query-time triggers: - Query-time triggers fire just before and just after the operator or the
application executes a query in a block. E.g. Pre-Query, Post-Query
Transactional triggers: - Transactional triggers fire in response to a wide variety of events that
occur as a form interacts with the data source. E.g. On-Delete, On-Insert, On-Lock, On-Logon, On-
Update, Post-Database-Commit, Post-Delete, Post-Forms-Commit, Post-Insert, Post-Update, Pre-
Commit, Pre-Delete, Pre-Insert, Pre-Update
Validation triggers: - Validation triggers fire when Form Builder validates data in an item or record.
Form Builder performs validation checks during navigation that occurs in response to operator
input, programmatic control, or default processing, such as a Commit operation. E.g. When-
Validate-Item, When-Validate-Record
2. Sequence of Trigger Fire while Committing
Ø KEY Commit
Ø Pre Commit
Ø Pre/On/Post Delete
Ø Pre/On/Post Update
Ø Pre/On/Post Insert
Ø On commit
Ø Post Database Commit
3. Master-Detail Relation (Triggers/Procedures/Properties)
On-Check-Delete-Master: - Fires when Form Builder attempts to delete a record

in a block that is a master block in a master-detail relation.
On-Clear-Details: - Fires when Form Builder needs to clear records in a block
that is a detail block in a master-detail relation because those records no longer
correspond to the current record in the master block.
On-Populate-Details: - Fires when Form Builder needs to fetch records into a block that is the
detail block in a master-detail relation so that detail records are synchronized with the current
record in the master block.
(i) Isolated: - Masters Can be deleted when Child is existing
Triggers: - On Populate details Block
On Clear Details Form
Procedure
Check Package Failure
Clear all master Detail
Query Master Detail
(ii) Non- Isolated: - Masters Cannot be deleted when Child is existing.
On Check Delete master Block
Procedure
Query Master Detail
(iii) Cascading: - Child Record Automatically Deleted when Masters is deleted.
Pre Delete Block
Procedure
Query Master Detail
4. Dynamically create LOV/List Item
You can also add list elements individually at runtime by using the ADD_LIST_ELEMENT built-in
subprogram, or you can populate the list from a record group at runtime using the
POPULATE_LIST built-in. If you populate the list from a record group, be sure that the record
group you are using to populate the list contains the relevant values before you call
POPULATE_LIST. If the record group is a static record group, it will already contain the
appropriate values. Otherwise, you should populate the group at runtime using one of the record
group subprograms.
5. Object Libraries (Use/Benefits)
The Object Library provides an easy method of reusing objects and enforcing standards across
the entire development organization.
Object Library can be used to:
1. Create, store, maintain, and distribute standard and reusable objects.

2. Rapidly create applications by dragging and dropping predefined objects to your form.
There are several advantages to using object libraries to develop applications:
1. Object libraries are automatically re-opened when you startup Form Builder, making your
reusable objects immediately accessible.
2. You can associate multiple object libraries with an application. For example, you can create an
object library specifically for corporate standards, and you can create an object library to satisfy
project-specific requirements.
3. Object libraries feature Smart Classes-- objects that you define as being the standard. You use
Smart Classes to convert objects to standard objects.
6. Key-next/Post-Text (Difference)
Post-Text–Item: Fires during the Leave the Item process for a text item. Specifically, this trigger
fires when the input focus moves from a text item to any other item.
Key-Next-Item: The key-next is fired as a result of the key action. Key next will not fire unless
there is a key event.
7. Call From/New Form/Open Form (Difference)
Call Form: Runs an indicated form while keeping the parent form active. Form Builder runs the
called form with the same Run form preferences as the parent form. When the called form is
exited Form Builder processing resumes in the calling form at the point from which you initiated
the call to CALL_FORM.
PROCEDURE CALL_FORM (formmodule_name VARCHAR2, display NUMBER, switch_menu
NUMBER, query_mode NUMBER, data_mode NUMBER, paramlist_name/id VARCHAR2);
New Form: Exits the current form and enters the indicated form. The calling form is terminated as
the parent form. If the calling form had been called by a higher form, Form Builder keeps the
higher call active and treats it as a call to the new form. Form Builder releases memory (such as
database cursors) that the terminated form was using.
Form Builder runs the new form with the same Runform options as the parent form. If the parent
form was a called form, Form Builder runs the new form with the same options as the parent form.
PROCEDURE NEW_FORM (formmodule_name VARCHAR2, rollback_mode NUMBER, query_mode
NUMBER, data_mode NUMBER, paramlist_name/id VARCHAR2);
Open Form: Opens the indicated form. Use OPEN_FORM to create multiple-form applications, that
is, applications that open more than one form at the same time.
PROCEDURE OPEN_FORM (form_name VARCHAR2, activate_mode NUMBER, session_mode
NUMBER, data_mode NUMBER, paramlist_id/name PARAMLIST);
8. Types of Canvases (Stacked/Content Difference)
(i) Content Canvas (Default Canvas) [A content canvas is the required on each window you create]
(ii) Stack Canvas [you can display more then one stack canvas in a window at the same time]
(iii) Tab Type Window [In Tab canvas that have tab pages and have one or more then tab page]
(iv) Toolbar Canvas [A toolbar canvas often is used to create Toolbar Windows. There are two
type of Toolbar window.
a. Horizontal Toolbar Canvas: - Horizontal Toolbar canvases are displayed at the top of the
window, Just Under the Main Menu Bar.
b. Vertical Toolbar Canvas: - While vertical Toolbar are displayed along the Left Edge of the
window.
9. Object Groups (Use)
An object group is a container for a group of objects. You define an object group when you want
to package related objects so you can copy or subclass them in another module.
Object groups provide a way to bundle objects into higher-level building blocks that can be used
in other parts of an application and in subsequent development projects. For example, you might
build an appointment scheduler in a form and then decide to make it available from other forms in
your applications. The scheduler would probably be built from several types of objects, including
a window and canvas, blocks, and items that display dates and appointments, and triggers that
contain the logic for scheduling and other functionality. If you packaged these objects into an
object group, you could then copy them to any number of other forms in one simple operation.
You can create object groups in form and menu modules. Once you create an object group, you
can add and remove objects to it as desired.
10. Various Block Co-ordination Properties
The various Block Coordination Properties are

a) Immediate
Default Setting. The Detail records are shown when the Master Record are shown.
b) Deffered with Auto Query
Oracle Forms defer fetching the detail records until the operator navigates to the detail block.
c) Deferred with No Auto Query
The operator must navigate to the detail block and explicitly execute a query
11. How to attach same LOV to multiple items
We can use the same LOV for 2 columns by passing the return values in global values and using
the global values in the code.
12. Report Level Triggers (Sequence)
· Before parameter form

· After parameter form
· Before Report
· Between Pages
· After Report
13. Static & Dynamic LOV
The static LOV contains the predetermined values while the dynamic LOV contains values that
come at run time
14. Format Triggers (What are they)
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.
15. Flex & Confine Mode in Reports

Confine mode:
a. Switched on by default; change via View® View Options® Layout...
b. It prevents operations which would cause a report not to work e.g. moving a field outside its
parent repeating frame
Flex mode:
Moves the object it’s enclosing objects and objects in their push path simultaneously to maintain
the same overall relationship in the report. E.g. if you try to move a field outside its repeating
frame, the Repeating Frame will grow to accommodate the field and so will any objects around the
repeating frame.
Only one object can be moved/resized at one time in flex mode - if you try more than one only one
whose control point is clicked on will be done, the other objects will be de-selected.
Objects can be moved/resized horizontally or vertically; not diagonally.
16. Matrix Reports (Matrix By Groups)
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.
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 with group report is a group above report with a separate matrix for each value of the
master group.
A nested matrix (crosstab) report is a matrix report in which at least one parent/child relationship
appears within the matrix grid.
The new Child Dimension property of the nested group enables you to eliminate empty rows
and/or columns in your single-query nested matrix.
Types of Matrix Reports

Simple Matrix Report:
Is a matrix with only two dimensions
Nested Matrix Report: Has multiple dimensions going across and/or down the page
Multi-Query Matrix with Break: Is similar to a nested matrix report in that it has more than two
dimensions. Does not display records that do not contain data
Matrix Break Reports: Contains a new matrix for each master record
17. Lexical & Bind Parameters in Reports
Lexical Parameters: 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 a PL/SQL statement. You can, however, use a bind
reference in PL/SQL to set the value of a parameter that is then referenced lexically in SQL. Look
at the example below.
You create a lexical reference by entering an ampersand (&) followed immediately by the column
or parameter name. A default definition is not provided for lexical references. Therefore, you must
do the following:
Ø Before you create your query, define a column or parameter in the data model for each lexical
reference in the query. For columns, you must enter Value if Null, and, for parameters, you must
enter Initial Value. Report Builder uses these values to validate a query with a lexical reference.
Ø Create your query containing lexical references.
Bind Parameters: Bind references (or bind variables) are used to replace a single value in SQL or
PL/SQL, such as a character string, number, or date. 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. Bind references may not be referenced in FROM clauses or in
place of reserved words or clauses.
You create a bind reference by entering a colon (:) followed immediately by the column or
parameter name. If you do not create a column or parameter before making a bind reference to it
in a SELECT statement, Report Builder will create a parameter for you by default.
18. Column Mode Property in Reports
The Column Mode property controls how Report Builder fetches and formats data for instances of
repeating frames. With Column Mode set to Yes, the next instance of a repeating frame can begin
formatting before the previous instance is completed. With Column Mode set to No, the next
instance cannot begin formatting before the previous instance is completed. Column Mode is
used mainly for master repeating frames or repeating frames that contain fields that may expand
vertically or horizontally (i.e., elasticity is Variable or Expand).
19. Diff b/w Package Spec & Body
Packages provide a method of encapsulating and storing related procedures, funtions and other
package constructs as a unit in the database. They offer increased functionality (for example,
global package variables can be declared and used by any procedure in the package). They also
improve performance (for example, all objects of the package are parsed, compiled, and loaded
into memory once).
Package specification contains declarations of public constructs where as the package body
contains definitions of all those public constructs and declarations & definitions of private
constructs.
20. P/L SQL Tables / Arrays
PL/SQL tables are declared in the declaration portion of the block. A table is a composite datatype
in PL/SQL. PL/SQL tables can have one column and a primary key neither of which can be named.
The column can be any scalar type but primary key should be a BINARY_INTEGER datatype.
Rules for PL/SQL Tables:
1. A loop must be used to insert values into a PL/SQL Table
2. You cannot use the Delete command to delete the contents of PL/SQL Table. You must assign
an empty table to the PL/SQL table being deleted.
21. Various Cursor Attributes
SQL%ROWCOUNT: Number of rows affected by most recent SQL statement.

SQL%FOUND: Boolean attribute that evaluates to TRUE if most recent SQL statement affects one
or more rows.
SQL%NOTFOUND: Boolean attribute that evaluates to TRUE if most recent SQL statement does
not affect any row.
SQL%ISOPEN: Always evaluates to FALSE because P/L SQL closes implicit cursors immediately
after they are executed.
22. Different Database Triggers
Database triggers are PL/SQL, Java, or C procedures that run implicitly whenever a table or view
is modified or when some user actions or database system actions occur. Database triggers can
be used in a variety of ways for managing your database. For example, they can automate data
generation, audit data modifications, enforce complex integrity constraints, and customize
complex security authorizations.
Row Triggers
A row trigger is fired each time the table is affected by the triggering statement.
For example, if an UPDATE statement updates multiple rows of a table, a row trigger is fired once
for each row affected by the UPDATE statement.
If a triggering statement affects no rows, a row trigger is not executed at all.
Row triggers are useful if the code in the trigger action depends on data provided by the
triggering statement or rows that are affected.
Statement Triggers
A statement trigger is fired once on behalf of the triggering statement, regardless of the number of
rows in the table that the triggering statement affects (even if no rows are affected).
For example, if a DELETE statement deletes several rows from a table, a statement-level DELETE
trigger is fired only once, regardless of how many rows are deleted from the table.
Statement triggers are useful if the code in the trigger action does not depend on the data
provided by the triggering statement or the rows affected.
For example, if a trigger makes a complex security check on the current time or user, or if a
trigger generates a single audit record based on the type of triggering statement, a statement
trigger is used.
BEFORE vs. AFTER Triggers

When defining a trigger, you can specify the trigger timing.
That is, you can specify whether the trigger action is to be executed before or after the triggering
statement.
BEFORE and AFTER apply to both statement and row triggers.
BEFORE Triggers BEFORE triggers execute the trigger action before the triggering statement.
This type of trigger is commonly used in the following situations:
BEFORE triggers are used when the trigger action should determine whether the triggering
statement should be allowed to complete. By using a BEFORE trigger for this purpose, you can
eliminate unnecessary processing of the triggering statement and its eventual rollback in cases
where an exception is raised in the trigger action.
BEFORE triggers are used to derive specific column values before completing a triggering
INSERT or UPDATE statement.
AFTER Triggers AFTER triggers execute the trigger action after the triggering statement is
executed. AFTER triggers are used in the following situations:
AFTER triggers are used when you want the triggering statement to complete before executing
the trigger action.
If a BEFORE trigger is already present, an AFTER trigger can perform different actions on the
same triggering statement.
Combinations
Using the options listed in the previous two sections, you can create four types of triggers:
BEFORE statement trigger Before executing the triggering statement, the trigger action is
executed.
BEFORE row trigger Before modifying each row affected by the triggering statement and before
checking appropriate integrity constraints, the trigger action is executed provided that the trigger
restriction was not violated.
AFTER statement trigger After executing the triggering statement and applying any deferred
integrity constraints, the trigger action is executed.
AFTER row trigger After modifying each row affected by the triggering statement and possibly
applying appropriate integrity constraints, the trigger action is executed for the current row
provided the trigger restriction was not violated. Unlike BEFORE row triggers, AFTER row triggers
lock rows.
New Database Triggers

Startup, Shutdown, Logon, Logoff, Alter, Create, Drop
23. List Item Types

Poplist: The poplist style list item appears initially as a single field (similar to a text item field).
When the end user selects the list icon, a list of available choices appears.
Tlist: The Tlist style list item appears as a rectangular box, which displays a fixed number of
values. When the Tlist contains values that cannot be displayed (due to the displayable area of the
item), a vertical scroll bar appears, allowing the end user to view and select undisplayed values.
Combo Box: The combo box style list item combines the features found in poplists and text items.
It displays fixed values and can accept a user-entered value.
