In Oracle E-Business Suite profile options can be set on several levels:
  • Site
  • Application
  • Responsibility
  • Server
  • Server with Responsibility
  • Organization
  • User

When needed one and the same profile option can be assigned to different levels. For example, when you implement Global Security Profiles to create access control on Operation Units – every responsibility for an Operating Unit may need a setting for profile options MO: Security Profile and HR: Security Profile. In the form which is used to set profile options all those different responsibilities can’t be seen at once.

In that case I use the SQL statement below to quickly provide me a list of the values of a profile option for all levels.  


The profile option name (column profile_option_name from table applsys.fnd_profile_options) can be found within the definition of the profile itself through responsibility Application Developer – menu Profile.


Here’s the SQL to provide you the values on all levels of a specific profile.

    SUBSTR(pot.user_profile_option_name,1,60) NAME_IN_FORMS,
