    What happens when you login to Apps?

    Firstly and surely there is a URL for oracle applications that is structured possibly in below format, although it can vary from version of apps.
    http://machinename:portnumber/OA_HTML/US/ICXINDEX.htm
    http://machinename:portnumber /oa_servlets/AppsLogin

    When you join an Oracle Apps development team for an employer, you will first be given URL of the development environment.

    In any Oracle Apps implementation project (assuming it has gone live), there are minimum of three environments, each with different URL's and different database instances.

    These are:-
    ---------------
    Development environment
    Testing environment
    Production environment

    You will most probably, as a techie, be given url,username ad password of the development environment.

    What happens when you login(no advanced info here):-
    --------------------------------------
    A. Your login gets authenticated against a table named fnd_user for your username and password. The screen below is where username and password defined. This screen is called user definition screen. Only system administrators have access to this screen.

    B. As you can see above, this username xxpassi is attached to two responsibilities (this will be discussed in details in latter training lesson). It is this assignment to the responsibility that controls what a logged in person can do and can't do. In layman’s words, a responsibility is a group of menu.


    C. When you successfully login you will see below screens.

    This screen below will prompt you to change your password, to a value different than that assigned by System Administrator.








    Click on either of the above Responsibility Names, will initiate Oracle Apps( Note: You might be prompted to install jinitiator…..just keep clicking OK…OK for all Jinitiator messages). Effectively, what I mean to say is that you do not need to download jinitiator from anywhere; Oracle will do this automatically (provided your DBA’s got this cofig’ed) for you during your first logon attempt from the PC. Once your jInitiator gets installed








    Hurray, we have logged into apps.

    Some notes on advanced info (beginners may ignore this):
    Oracle internally uses a login named GUEST, prior to invoking validation of actual username. Some people regard this as a security threat, but it isn’t. Your DBA’s can change the “guest” password from its default value after installation.

    Oracle uses a DB User account named applsyspub to which it first connects during validation of LOGIN. This user account has very restricted privileges and has access to below objects (primarily for authentication purposes):-
    FND_APPLICATION
    FND_UNSUCCESSFUL_LOGINS
    FND_SESSIONS
    FND_PRODUCT_INSTALLATIONS
    FND_PRODUCT_GROUPS
    FND_MESSAGES
    FND_LANGUAGES_TL
    FND_APPLICATION_TL
    FND_APPLICATION_VL
    FND_LANGUAGES_VL
    FND_SIGNON
    FND_PUB_MESSAGE
    FND_WEBFILEPUB
    FND_DISCONNECTED
    FND_MESSAGE
    FND_SECURITY_PKG
    FND_LOOKUPS

    Hello,

    very interesting blog. I have a small question : what does it mean fnd from fnd_messages for example ?

     

    Blogger Anil Passi said ... (2:28 AM) : 

    Hi anonymous,

    FND_MESSAGES is a table where Oracle stores all the messages...for example...
    "Are you sure you wish to continue?"
    ...
    "Your Password has expired"...

    Each such message has a code.
    For example, FND_PASSWD_EXPIRED code has text "Your Password has expired" attached to it.

    Many a times you wish to change the text of the messages, for which Oracle delivers a screen to maintain message texts.

    Thanks,
    Anil Passi

    Hello Anil,

    thanks for the answer altough it is not what I was looking for. I was wondering where does it come from FND ? it is an abbreviation for what ?

    thanks,

     

    Blogger Anil Passi said ... (4:07 AM) : 

    Hi Florin,

    Now I understand your question fully.

    FND means Foundation. It means, this is the schema where all the foundation/"apps tech stack" tables are created.

    For example, following entities can be classified as Foundation to apps.1
    1. Apps Security related tables, to name a few FND_USER, FND_SECURITY_GROUPS etc...


    2. Apps validation related tables, like FND_FLEX_VALUES, FND_FLEX_VALIDATION_EVENTS

    3. All the workflow related tables...

    4. Concurrent manager related tables....

    Thanks
    Anil

     

    Blogger Anil Passi said ... (2:39 AM) : 

    Hi Kishore

    GUEST is a special user, albeit a nasty one.

    By default, its password is oracle.
    And not many clients change that password after their install.

    External Web facing SelfService pages (example forgot page connects to GUEST schema)...hopefully oracle would have fixed this...one of my clients regarded this as security threat to apps

    Hi Anil,

    I am very new for Apps. So,I am going to ask you few questions, which might be very easy/silly to u. But, pls explain me.

    1. Why do we need Apps in reality? Normally To develope a Form or Report in Apps, we need to do it in D2k and need to move them to Apps. Insted of that can't we develope the same project using Oracle & D2K only?

    2. Why do we need to create first Executable, next Conc Prog, next Resp, Requestgroup, user and SRS window to submit a concurrent program. Why do we need all to submit a single concurrent program. It's really wasting time to submit a very small report also. Can't I direcly run a report from one single window in Apps?

    Plese dont ignore, as I am confusing with all these doubts.

    Thanks and Rgds,

    Anonymous Anonymous said ... (5:25 AM) : 

    hi..

    answer the previous question

     

    Blogger Anil Passi said ... (5:41 AM) : 

    Hi Mahesh,

    In answer to your questions.....
    1. Why do we need Apps in reality?
    APPS is the database schema, where synonyms to all the objects exit[ragardless of the module]
    Effectively APPS provides a runtime environment.
    Leaving your development just on d2k will restrict the usage of what you develop just to your PC.


    2. Why do we need to create first Executable, next Conc Prog, next Resp, Requestgroup, user and SRS window to submit a concurrent program. Why do we need all to submit a single concurrent program. It's really wasting time to submit a very small report also. Can't I direcly run a report from one single window in Apps?
    You can run directly from a Single Window, which is named "Submit Request".
    The roles of various pieces are:-

    executable
    to find location of code on server to be executed
    but for pl/sql its always APPS schema

    request group
    these are attached to responsibilities
    say you have two resopnsibilities
    Payroll Clerk
    Payroll Manager
    Payroll manager responsibility in this case should have access to much more reports that Payroll Clerk
    Hence you will have two different request groups in this case.
    Each request group will have respective concurrent programs included into them

    thanks

    Really this site is very informative.I came to know about it from a friend.
    Well I am working in an IT firm as an oracle Apps Consultant in HRMS module.But i am totally new in this APPS field.
    Previously i was working as a Oracle D2k developer,I have also completed my OCP certification in developer track.So I have No idea about oracle Apps as such nor do i have taken any training.
    They have recruited me for support job in oracle apps and they will gradually move me to developement.
    So,i will like to ask you how should i plan my trainings so that i can quickly move to development.
    I have acess to oracle apps front end almost to all the responsibilities on development and test enviorment.
    So I can do any R&D i like.
    I just need your guidence.
    Like from where to start and what should be the next step.
    I will be really greatful to you.

    Blogger Anil Passi said ... (4:59 AM) : 

    Hi Anuj,

    If your client has 2 languages [Oracle Apps being used in both US- and germany-DE]
    n that case, if user logs in from US responsibility, then they should see descriptions in English, whereas person logging in from German responsibility must see the description in German language.

    Hence, in FND_APPLICATION_TL you will have 2 records[one for each language]

    Record 1....LANGUAGE:- DE
    Record 1....APPLICATION_NAME:-Oracle Kaufen
    Record 1....APPLICATION_ID:-10001 [assume]

    Record 2....LANGUAGE:- US
    Record 2....APPLICATION_NAME:-Oracle Purchasing
    Record 2....APPLICATION_ID:-10001 [assume]


    FND_APPLICATION will not store the Application Name.
    Hence it will simply store FND_APPLICATION = 10001


    FND_APPLICATION_VL is a view. It will look at applicable language for the current logged in user, and display the relevant description from either "Record 1" or "Record 2" depending upon whether user is logged in from "German Responsibility" or "US responsiblity".

    Thanks,
    Anil Passi

    I hope you ran the gathered statistics for the entire schema, so that cost boased optimizer can build the correct explain path.

    Try running the payroll with debug enaled. You will see where it is getting stuck.

    Alternaely, your DBA can enable trace of the currently running ongoing concurrent request. this will tell you where it is running slowly

    Blogger Anil Passi said ... (3:47 AM) : 

    Hi Maggi

    when you use srw.message, then that message appears in the log file of the concurrent request.

    As you would know, reports are submitted as concurrent programs in Oracle Apps. For debugging things like Report Triggers or Fast Formulas, you can induce messages using srw.message, and those messages then appear in the log file of the concurrent request.

    Thanks,
    Anil Passi

    Blogger Anil Passi said ... (10:28 PM) : 

    When you submit the concurrent program[report], after it completes, in the concurrent request monitor screen, there is a button labelled log. you need to click there to see the messages.

    This log file physically resides on the Server where the concurrent manager is running, which most probably will be on database tier. Go to directory $APPLCSF/$APPLLOG

    OK, if you are yet to start, then learn two things

    1. APPS Architecture Basics, and its development practices
    2. Get solid grip on SQL
    3. In tech field, learn Java,XML and WebsServices. This is where Oracle Fusion is heading towards

    Using knowledge of 2&3, practice the toolsets like jDeveloper.

    In future, most of the development tools in Fusion Apps will be integrated with jDeveloper

    Dear Anil,

    Great job. I am just learning Oracle Apps and my company specializes in Oracle ERP and related Supply chain products. I am basically a System Admin in-charge of IT, but my aim is to expand and there is unlimited scope in my company, but I need to start from scratch and there are not much training going on from scratch. Most the guys recruited in this have some manufacturing experience. Can you also please direct me to some audio-video resources on the internet. I have a metalink account,
    Thanks,
    Srinivas

    Hi Anil,
    I have a critical doubt in Forms.

    A message window is popped up for alerts and warnings which asks us for ok or Yes and No or cancel.

    1)The pop window does not allow us to do anything else other than pressing any of the buttons of the Pop up window.

    Question: How does the FND_Message (which generates the Pop up window) get to know whether any button on the pop up window is pressed or not .

    This is urgent .
    Please help .
    Thanks.

    is it possible to switch user within oracle application environment without logging out of the session, i am planning it as my GB project, can you raise some help on it.

    Thanks,

    Blogger Anil Passi said ... (8:23 AM) : 

    This is not recommended, because you will need to call fnd_global.initialize and also alter ICX_SESSIONS entry

    However, if in OA Framework, Look at methods in OAPageContext, there is a method to switch context programatically in controller

    Thanks

    Hi Anil,
    I just had a look at the dbc file of one of our instances. i could find the guest un/password over there. But while i try connecting to the database using sqlplus/toad using the tns entries with the uname/pword specified in the dbc file, it says that the uname and password is invalid. Are there any restrictions on the same?

    I am an Oracle Apps technical Consultant working for an IT company.

    However,Recently I sat for an Interview for one of the major Global Consulting Gaints where the interviewer gave me a reply that you are an Oracle Guy but not an Oracle Apps Guy.
    As such for the past two days I was anxious to know the difference of the two and am glad to hit upon your blog.

    Hi anil
    i have a question
    suppose we are creating some set of forms(oracle apps) and first form is like login form. in that form the user needs to give usercode , the usercode is not available in the database means it will ask to create a new user(like new customers in AR).
    when creating new user, the user will enter 4 fields of data which is more important and we dont want to display when we see the table in backend. i mean to say how to encript the data(not readable) from backend?.
    what are settings we need to do for that 4 fields while creating a oracle apps form.

    thanks

    hi anil,

    You have a wonderful site, helped me a lot in terms of understanding quiet a few fundamental question.
    I had small question which I would be gr8ful if you could address.
    I am working a oracle apps CRM functional consultant for the past 2 years now.
    I have developed my understanding of oracle apps only with the help of one on one sessions and a few user and implementation guides.
    I wanted to know is that what is the processed to be followed for getting a sound understanding of the application. I mean If I focus on CRM service side first what all published user/implementation guides should i go through in all to get full functional concepts of the same and what should be the order of the same ie do i read contract first or teleservice first.

    Keep the good work
