Report Registration and add it to request group

Overview:

• Develop a report to register as a concurrent program
• Create Executable: Link it to Report file(.rdf) created
• Create Concurrent Program: Link to it executable defined in previous step
• Enter Parameters and link Value Sets
• Assign the registered Concurrent Program to a request group

Creating Executable:

Navigation: Login into Oracle Applications –> Go to Application Developer Responsibility –> Concurrent –> Executable

Here we will register oracle report as a concurrent program

FIELDS:

• Executable: This is User Understandable Name
• Short Name: This is Unique and for system reference
• Application: Under which application you want to register this Conc. Program
• Description: Description
• Execution Method: Based on this field, your file has to be placed in respective directory or database.
• Execution File Name: This is the actual Report file name. If you register a PL/SQL Procedure in a package you have to give the packagename.procedure. You don’t need to specify any parameters in procedure here.

Action: Save

Create Concurrent Program:

Navigation: Application Developer –> Concurrent –> Program

FIELDS:

• Program: User Understandable Program Name
• Short Name: This should be unique name and for system reference
• Application: Enter the application under which you want to register this conc.prog
• Executable Name: Enter the User Understandable Executable Name
• Method: This will be populated automatically from Executable Definition
• Output Format: Select the format of the output you want
• Output Style: Select A4 to print on A4 Paper
• Printer: You can default any printer or you can enter while submitting concurrent program.

DEFINE PARAMETERS AND VALUE SETS

Navigation: click on Parameters button in above screen

FIELDS:

• Seq: It’s always better to enter sequences in multiple of 5 or 10. So that you can insert any additional parameters if you want later in middle.
• Parameter: Name the Parameter Field. This is for system reference
• Description: You can see this description while submitting the conc.prog.
• Value set: “15 Characters” is the standard value set for Character input parameters
• Default Type: This field is not mandatory. If you want to default any particular value to save time while submitting the concurrent program you can do so here.

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     : Will be used to pass the constant number or date or string as default value
Segment      : 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
• Enabled  CheckBox: will be used to enable or disable the parameter
• Display  CheckBox: will be used to hide or display the parameter
• Prompt: This is the actual message displayed while submitting the conc.prog
• Token: This is used to link this parameter to the parameter defined in actual report file(.rdf)

Action: Save

Assign this Concurrent Program to a request group:

Navigation: Switch to “System Administrator” Responsibility –> Security –> Responsibility –> Request

Action: Open/Double click

Action: Press F11

Action: CTRL+F11

Action: Select the First record in the “Requests” and then File > New

Action: Enter Your User Readable Name of your concurrent program
