Register PL SQL stored procedure in

Oracle Apps
Register PL SQL stored procedure in Oracle Apps:
You have a PL/SQL procedure in your database and you want the user to be able to execute it
from Oracle Apps front end. To do so, we have to register the procedure in Oracle Apps. Now lets
see how to do that.
Steps to register a PL/SQL program:
1. Create procedure
2. Create Executable
3. Create Program
4. Add this program to the required request group
1. Create Procedure:
Lets create a procedure that will take input as Item name and returns the respective Item ID.
If you want to register a procedure, the procedure should be created with the two below
mandatory parameters:
errbuf : For printing out the error messages.
retcode: return 0 for successful execution
return 1 to end the concurrent program in warning
return 2 to end the concurrent program in error
Below is the code snippet of the procedure. Compile the same by connecting to the database as
APPS user.
1 PROCEDURE erps21_conc_prog(
2 errbuf OUT VARCHAR2,
3 retcode OUT VARCHAR2,
4 v_name VARCHAR2 )
5 IS
6 v_item_id VARCHAR2(100);
7 BEGIN
8 SELECT inventory_item_id
9 INTO v_item_id
10 FROM mtl_system_items_b
11 WHERE segment1 = v_name
12 AND rownum =1;
13 fnd_file.put_line(fnd_file.output, 'Parameter received:' || v_item_id);
14 EXCEPTION
15 WHEN OTHERS THEN
16 RETCODE := 2;
17 errbuf := 'Entered EXCEPTION block';
18 END;

We can also use API fnd_concurrent.set_completion_Status to set the concurrent program

status.
2. Create Executable:
Navigation: System Administrator / Application Developer responsibility > Concurrent >
Executable
Enter the below details and save.
a.Executable: Enter any meaningful name
b.Short Name: This should be unique and used for internal purposes
c.Application: Specify under which application you want to register this Concurrent Program,
normally all customizations will be registered under custom application.
d.Description: Description
e.Execution Method: Choose PL/SQL Stored Procedure since we want to register a procedure
f.Execution File Name: Enter the procedure name. You dont need to specify any parameters of
procedure here. If your procedure is encapsulated within a package, then executable file name
should be entered as <package name>.<procedure name>

3. Create Program:
Navigation: System Administrator/Application Developer responsibility > Concurrent > Program
Enter the below details and save the work.
a.Program: User Understandable Program Name
b.Short Name: This should be a unique name and for system reference
c.Application: Enter the application under which you want to register this concurrent program
d.Executable Name: Enter the Executable Short Name created in Step 2.
e.Method: This will be populated automatically from Executable Definition
f.Output Format: Select the format of the output you want
g.Output Style: Select A4 to print on A4 Paper
h.Printer: You can default any printer or you can enter while submitting concurrent program.
i.Enable Trace: Check this if you want to enable trace on this program. This is normally for
debugging performance issues.
j.Use in SRS: Check this box if you want the users to be able run this program from Submit
Request window.

Click on Parameters button to define the parameters for your concurrent program.
Enter the below details and save the work.
a.Seq: Its always better to enter sequences in multiple of 5 or 10 so that you can insert any
additional parameters if you want later in between.
b.Parameter: Enter a name for the parameter.
c.Description: You can see this description while submitting the concurrent program.

d.Value set: Enter a valid value set name. You can use the standard value sets provided as well.
e.Default Type and Value: These fields are optional. They are to be used when you want to
default any particular value for a parameter.
Current Date : Will be used to pass the Sysdate as default value
Current Time : Will be used to pass the Systime as default value
Constant
Segment

: Will be used to pass the constant number or date or string as default value
: will be used to get the Previous parameter value as default to the next parameter

SQL Statement: We can pass the SELECT statement result as default value
Profile : This will be used to pass the user profile value as default like userid
,username,respid,respname and so on.
Required CheckBox : This will be used to make the parameter as mandatory or optional
f.Prompt: This is the actual parameter name displayed while submitting the concurrent program
g.Token: This should be used only when you are registering a report.This is used to link this
parameter to the parameter defined in actual report file(.rdf)
h.Enabled CheckBox: will be used to enable or disable the parameter
i. Display CheckBox: will be used to hide or display the parameter

4.Assign to Request Group:

Say you want this program to be accessible to Inventory responsibility.
First find out the request group of this responsibility.
Navigation: System Administrator Responsibility > Security > Responsibility > Define

Navigation: System Administrator Responsibility > Security > Responsibility > Request
Query for the Request Group obtained above.

Now place the cursor under Requests section and click on ADD icon in the Menu.
Enter the below details and save the work.
1. Type: Enter Program if this is a concurrent program. Enter Set if this is a request set.

2. Name: Enter the concurrent program /set name.

XML Publisher Registration Steps

1)Develop the Report(.rdf) Only DataModel
2)Save the report and Compoile it.
3)Move the the .rdf into custom Top like CUS_TOP\11.5.0\Reports\US

.rdf File registration :

=========================

4)Create Executeable

====>Pass the Executeable Name :xxxxx

====>Short Name

:xxxxx

====>Application name

:xxxxx

=====>Execution method

:oracle reports

=====>Execution file name

:your .rdf file name

5) create Concurrent Program

Output = XML
6)create Request Group and attached to Concurrent program
7) Attach u r request group to based on client given

Responsibility

go to file---> switch responsility----> select what ever ur add responsibility

Go to view--->request ---> SRS
8)submit ur cp and refresh it we will get output.
9) save your output as .xml format.
10)Copy the Concurrent Program Short name
11)Open the Ms-WOrd document Design the Layout
include the follwing Tool Bar options called Form and Templete builder
13)Define the Table and Specify the Titles and Labels whatever we would like to print
====>If we want to Develop through wizard go to Template builder=>data->load XML Data
====> Template Builder=>Insert=>Table/form=>wizard
====>file=>save=>save Rich text format
14)Include 'Text Form Field' Double CLick => Add Help Text button enter the following
syntax
<?for-each:G_USER_ID?> : Here G_USER_ID is Group name from .rdf Data Model
Note: It means Indirectley Repeating Frame starting
15)Define the Fields which we would like to display
Include 'Text Form Field' Double CLick => Add Help Text button enter the following
syntax
<?Column Name>?
Note: Define all the fields like this
16)We have to close the Repeating Frame (For each Loop)
Include 'Text Form Field' Double CLick => Add Help Text button enter the following
syntax
<?end for-each?>
17)Save the document in .rtf(Rich Text File format)
19)Load the .xml file data and generate the Output in pdf Format

Data=>Load XMl Data=>Load the .xml File=>Once Data is Loaded succesfully

20)Generate the Preview as per this Preview=>PDF

1)Develop the .rdf file and .rtf file

2)Register both .rdf and .rtf file
.rdf File registration :
=========================
1)Move the .rdf file into CUS_TOP\11.5.0\Reports\US
2)Create Execuiteable
Concurrent Program Output = XML
Request Group
Responsibility
User
SRS
3)Copy the Concurrent Program Short name
.rtf File Regitration:
=======================
1)Goto the XML Publisher Administrator Responsibility
2)Select Data Definations form
Enter Data Defination Name = Enter Any Name
Code
= Concurrent Program Short Name
Application
= Any application
startdate
= Current Date
3)Copy the DataDefination name we have to add this to the Templete
4)Open the Templete Form
Enter Templete Name : Any Name
DataDefination
: enter data defination whatever we have created
Code
: Concurrent Program Short Name
Type
: rtf
application
: any Application
File
: Upload the .rtf file
Laguage
: English
Territory
: United States
5)Select Apply button
After register the .rtf file submit concurrent Program from SRS window system will
automatically pick the .rtf file and generates the Output.
If we want to customze the .rtf file we have to download by using templete , Customize then
upload the .rtf templete
