As we all know there are two mandatory parameters that need to be pased for all the procedures called
1.ERRBUFF
2.RETCODE..

Based on the business process if there is any undefined exeception occured while running concurrent program, we can end the concurrent program with Error/Warning.

Define ERRBUFF as the first parameter and Retcode as the second one. Mention the OUT variable type.

CREATE PROCEDURE PROCEDURE_NAME (errbuf  OUT VARCHAR2,
                                 retcode OUT VARCHAR2)

The retcode has three values returned by the concurrent manager
0–Success
1–Success & warning
2–Error

we can set the concurrent program to any of the three status by using these values in the retcode parameter

Example:
========

BEGIN
…..
EXCEPTION
     WHEN OTHERS THEN
        FND_FILE.PUT_LINE(FND_FILE.LOG,’Unhandled exception occurred in package. ErrMsg: ‘||SQLERRM);
        retcode=’2′;
END;

Even you can use fnd_concurrent.set_completion_Status to send the concurrent program to more status than success,error and warning.

Recently i got a requirement to create request and attach all the standard reports of GL to these request groups. It seems a lot tedious task to do manually. So i developed this script to copy the request group content to other request groups.

This is very useful if you have to create multiple request groups and attach reports to all.

Some times we don’t have the access to add the responsibility to the user using the the Create User form. So for this Oracle is having one API fnd_user_pkg.addresp which can do the job without using the Create User Form.

Sometimes while working on a support projects, we used to have access to the read only responsibilities ,or though we have given the access to the super users initially, but those accesses might have revoked after system went live. But in test environment, we may require those accesses back so as to fix the bugs or to test the functionality.
The removing of end date from a responsibility which is already assigned to a user, can be done using fnd_user_resp_groups_api API.

Sample Procedure for removing end date from Responsibilities given to Users:
