How to Define Custom Key Flexfield (KFF) in R12

I will explain how to create a custom KFF. Here I’m using XXCUST_KFF_DEMO table to capture the KFF code combinations.

Following steps needs to perform to create custom KFF.

1) Register the XXCUST_KFF_DEMO table.

Click here to see the code.

Verify the table has created successfully.

Navigation: Application Developer > Application > Database > Table

2) Register the Key Flexfield.

Navigation : Application Developer > Flexfield > Key Flexfields

3) Define the structure and segments.

Navigation:  Application Developer > Flexfield > Key Flexfield Segments

Click on Segments button.

Save the created Information.Check the Allow Dynamic Inserts check box if you want to create the combination from the KFF display window. Once you complete all the changes, check the Freeze Flexfield Definition check box.

4) Create a sequence XXCUST_KFF_DEMO_S.
CREATE SEQUENCE XXCUST_KFF_DEMO_S INCREMENT BY 1 START WITH 1 MAXVALUE 999999999 CYCLE NOCACHE;
5) create KFF item through OAF Page.

Here I am using a page based on table XXCUST_KFF_TRN.

CREATE TABLE xxcust_kff_trn
(
	NAME			     VARCHAR2(100),
	CCID			     NUMBER,
	CREATED_BY		     NUMBER,
	CREATION_DATE		     DATE,
	LAST_UPDATE_DATE             DATE,         
	LAST_UPDATED_BY              NUMBER,   
	LAST_UPDATE_LOGIN            NUMBER
);

You can see the output below.

R12 – java.sql.SQLException: Invalid column type in OAF

Issue:
When we are using view object (VO) in OA Framework it’s possible that you will run in to the problem java.sql.SQLException: Invalid column type, especially if it’s an LOV VO. When you click on the LOV torch for the first time it is working fine. But whenever when we click on the GO button in the LOV Region it gives an error.

Solution:
What we need to is, change the Binding Style from Oracle Named to Oracle Positional in the View Object declaration. The framework is adding a where clause to the query using bind variables that are typed :n, this is why you need to set Oracle Positional. Now save it run again, then it will solve this issue.

VO Binding Style

How to Find Duplicate Row in OAF Page?

How to Find Duplicate Row in OAF Page?

In this article, I have explained how to stop user to enter duplicate rows in OAF Page table region or advanced table region. This validation helps the users not to enter any duplicate record into system. Below method should be created in AM (Application Module) and it can be referred from CO.

Below method is used to compare rows from same VO Object with different VO instance. (mainVO and Subvo).

public void XXDuplicateVendorCharges() {

  OAViewObject mainVO =
  getXXVendorChargesEOVO1();
  OAViewObject Subvo =
  getXXVendorChargesEOVO1();

  for (Row row = mainVO.first(); row != null; row = mainVO.next()) {
    Number mainVOVendorChargesId = (Number)row.getAttribute("VendorChargesId");
    String mainChrgType = (String)row.getAttribute("VendorChargeType");

    for (Row row1 = Subvo.first(); row1 != null;
      row1 = Subvo.next()) {
      Number SubvoVendorChargesId = (Number)row1.getAttribute("VendorChargesId");
      String SubChrgType = (String)row1.getAttribute("VendorChargeType");

      if (!(mainVOVendorChargesId.equals(SubvoVendorChargesId))) {
        if ((mainChrgType).equals(SubChrgType)) {
          //Subvo.remove(); //remove the Child VO
          //getTransaction().commit(); // This performs the actual delete.
          throw new OAException("Duplicate row exists in Vendor Charges, select only unique Vendor Charge Type.",
                                        OAException.ERROR);
        }
      }
    } //SubVO
  } //MainVO
  mainVO.first();
  Subvo.clearCache();
}

Another Method to check duplicate from DB Object like below.

public void XXDuplicateVendorCharges() {

    OAViewObject VendorHdrVO = getXXVendorHeaderEOVO1();
    Row VendorHdrRow = VendorHdrVO.getCurrentRow();

    try {
        if (VendorHdrRow != null) {
            VendorHdrId = (Number)VendorHdrVO.getAttribute("VendorHdrId");
        }
    } catch (Exception exec) {
        throw new OAException("Error: " + exec, OAException.ERROR);
    }

    OAViewObject mainVO =  getXXVendorChargesEOVO1(); 
    XXVendorChargesEOVOImpl Subvo = 
        (XXVendorChargesEOVOImpl)this.findViewObject("getXXVendorChargesEOVO2"); //Child VO for duplicate checking
        
    if (Subvo == null) {
        Subvo = (XXVendorChargesEOVOImpl)this.createViewObject("getXXVendorChargesEOVO2", 
                                                                   "xxerp.oracle.apps.po.customapp.server.XXVendorChargesEOVO");
    }
    Subvo.clearCache();

    if (!(Subvo.isPreparedForExecution())) {
        Subvo.setWhereClause(null);
        Subvo.setWhereClause("VENDOR_HDR_ID= " + "'" + VendorHdrId + "'");
        Subvo.executeQuery();
    }


    for (Row row = mainVO.first(); row != null; row = mainVO.next()) {
        Number mainVOVendorChargesId = 
            (Number)row.getAttribute("VendorChargesId");
        String mainChrgType = (String)row.getAttribute("VendorChargeType");
       
        for (Row row1 = clonevo.first(); row1 != null; 
             row1 = Subvo.next()) {
            Number SubvoVendorChargesId = 
                (Number)row1.getAttribute("VendorChargesId");
            String SubChrgType = (String)row1.getAttribute("VendorChargeType");

            if (!(mainVOVendorChargesId.equals(SubvoVendorChargesId))) {
                if ((mainChrgType).equals(SubChrgType)) {
                    //Subvo.remove(); //remove the Child VO
                    //getTransaction().commit(); // This performs the actual delete.
                    throw new OAException("Duplicate row exists in Vendor Charges, select only unique Vendor Charge Type.", 
                                          OAException.ERROR);
                }
            }
        } //Subvo
    } //MainVO
    mainVO.first();
    Subvo.remove();
}

How to Enable Personalization link for OAF Pages using Profile Options

To Access OAF Personalization in Oracle Apps, we need to set the values of following profiles options to enable Personalization Page link in OAF Pages. You can enable these profile options at all levels (Function, Site, Responsibility, User)


These four profile options are mandatory for working on OAF personalization in apps. To Assign these Profile Options, we need to go to System Administrator or Functional Administrator Responsibility.

Navigation:
System Administrator -> Profile -> System
Functional Administrator -> Core Services -> Profiles

Profile Name
Profile Value
FND: Diagnostics
Yes
Personalize Self-Service Defn
Yes
FND: Personalization Region Link Enabled
Yes / Minimal
Disable Self-Service Personal
No

Meanings:

1. FND: Diagnostics
Setting the FND: Diagnostics (FND_DIAGNOSTICS) profile option to “Yes” will enable the diagnostics global button to be rendered on the screen.

2. Personalize Self-Service Defn
Set the value to Yes to allow ‘Personalize’ link to appear at the right top of the OAF page.

3. FND: Personalization Region Link Enabled
It renders the “Personalize  Region” links above each  region in a page. Each link  takes you first to the Choose Personalization Context page, then to the Page Hierarchy Personalization page with focus on the region node from which  you selected the “Personalize  Region” link.

Two Options
Set the value to Yes to display all the personalization links above each OAF page region.
Set the value to Minimal to display key regional links.

4. Disable Self-Service Personal
Set the value to No will enable all OAF personalizations on all pages at all levels (Function, Site, Responsibility, User)
