Preparation of your PC/jDeveloper Environment for OA Framework

Step 2 Run the page [click link below]
Transfer the components from server and run the page in jDeveloper

Takes long long time to run from JDeveloper
written by kishore Ryali , March 17, 2008

Hi Anil
I've been facing this issue since i started learning on OAF with HelloWorld.
When I run from JDeveloper, a single page takes long long time(20 to 30 mins) to open up.
I use VPN to connect to my client server, and Embedded OC4J setting is "localhost". I included my IP in proxy server settings also.

Due to this problem, I feel testing on the server doing FTP the class files and running XMLImporter takes less time. Could you please suggest me what might be wrong?

Thanks
Kishore Ryali

Hi Anil
Another question...
I guess u r using JDeveloper 10g in the video. Once u created OA Project, How did u get the packages mycompany.oracle.apps,oracle.apps.fnd,oracle.apps.icx into ur project?

I had to manually add those packages in JDeveloper 9i, to complete this session.

Hi Kishore,

You are right, running OA Framework pages, even something as simple as hello world will take over 10minutes when using VPN.
You should be in the pysical Local Area Network of the server hosting apps.

Your second question, 10g will create those packages for you.
In case of jDev9i, you haveto use File/Open menu to first open the page that you wish to run.

Thanks,
Anil Passi

MO_GLOBAL.INIT issue
written by firenze , April 03, 2008

Hello Anil-
I have followed the demo to the fullest and was able to run the page in demo without a hitch. However, I have encountered an issue while running a page belonging to iSupplier.

Here are the details :

environment -> R12 RUP4
IDE -> Jdev 10.1.3.3

Page I am trying to run -> oracle.apps.pos.supplier.webui.OrgnaizationPG.xml

Runtime connection details specific to OA ->
user -> BIRGIT
application -> POS
(isupplier)
Responsibility key -> ISUPPLIER_PORTAL_RESP_DE
(iSupplier Portal germany)

HEre is the error message:

## Detail 0 ##
JBO-30003: The application pool (boston.bitek.localR12XBIT1524oracle.apps.pos.supplier.server.ByrSuppAM) failed to checkout an application module due to the following exception:
oracle.jbo.JboException: JBO-29000: Unexpected exception caught: oracle.apps.fnd.framework.OAException, msg=Application: FND, Message Name: FND_GENERIC_MESSAGE.

I have verified the profile option "MO: Operating unit" and is having the right value as (Vision Germany). Would appreciate any pointers to resolve the issue.

Hi

You are referencing Enterprise Asset Management files are runtime, hence the error.
Please FTP all files from $EAM_TOP/mds into myprojects/oracle/apps/eam

Unexpected error..
written by Joselfmp , November 25, 2008

Hi Anil,
I've followed your two videos and I think I've just did the same as you, but for responsibility SELF_SERVICE_PURCHASING_5 (iProcurement) but, when I try to run the NOnCatalogRequest.xml , it appears an error page saying:

"Error Page
You have encountered an unexpected error. Please contact the System Administrator for assistance. "

It seems to try to connect to apps environment but.. without success... Any ideas?

Thanks,

XML files to project directory
written by Joselfmp , November 25, 2008

Hi again Anil,
when you say "In the above tutorials, I haven't copied across the xml files from $JAVA_TOP to jDevHome/myprojects.You will have to do that step, in order to extend any BC4J component"
I've seen that in ICX_TOP/mds folders structure the xml files are the same as the ones of $JAVA_TOP... so... which xml file did you mean?
I'm able to execute this example, but... there's something strange: When I click on ShoppingHomePG.xml (Applications Navigator) and It shows below the .xml structure, It appears disabled all the tree under MyReqsTable. Is it normal? I don't suppose so.. because.. if we want to follow another of your examples to exnted the VO and add a SupplierName we need to have it enable ...
Let me know please. Thanks a lot.
Jose.

Getting error while estending iSupplier page PosAsnMainPG.xml
written by Sukalyan Ghatak , May 06, 2009

Hi Anil,

I am trying to extend the standard iSupplier page PosAsnMainPG. I downloaded the JAVA_TOP/oracle/apps/pos and POS_TOP/mds as per videos above. I am using jDev9i. When I open the page it throws error: Invalid value "/oracle/apps/pos/inquiry/webui/PosAttachFooter" for property "Extends" on component "/oracle/apps/pos/asn/webui/PosAsnMainPG.PosContentFooter". Component "/oracle/apps/pos/inquiry/webui/PosAttachFooter" cannot be referenced from "/oracle/apps/pos/asn/webui/PosAsnMainPG.PosContentFooter" because it violates scope restrictions.

What do I need to do for this?
Also, the page goes in error when I run it.
What all do I need to do to make it run standalone in desktop?

Regards
Sukalyan
