Which is the most commonly used package in apps that uses Autonomous Transaction?
FND_LOG, this is used for debugging. This has a procedure named string, which does a commit.
Hence your debug messages are not lost in the event of rollback during unhandled exception.
What is one of the limitations of Forms Personalization?
You can not display interactive messages as you can using fnd_message
How to use Flexfields in reports ?
Ans : Most common way is to use FND user exits provided by oracle applications.
Other way is to directly use the DB views (TableName || ‘_KFV’ or ’_DFV’) created by apps, and use the concatenated_segments column which holds the concatenated segments of the key or descriptive flexfields.
What are Autonomous transactions ? Give a scenario where you have used Autonomous transaction in your reports ?
Ans: An autonomous transaction is an independent transaction started by another transaction, the main transaction. Autonomous transactions let you suspend the main transaction, do SQL operations, commit or roll back those operations, then resume the main transaction.
Once started, an autonomous transaction is fully independent. It shares no locks, resources, or commit-dependencies with the main transaction. So, you can log events, increment retry counters, and so on, even if the main transaction rolls back.
More important, autonomous transactions help you build modular, reusable software components. For example, stored procedures can start and finish autonomous transactions on their own. A calling application need not know about a procedure's autonomous operations, and the procedure need not know about the application's transaction context. That makes autonomous transactions less error-prone than regular transactions and easier to use.
Furthermore, autonomous transactions have all the functionality of regular transactions. They allow parallel queries, distributed processing, and all the transaction control statements including SET TRANSACTION.
Scenario : You can use autonomous transaction in your report for writing error messages in your database tables.

Ans: Record group are used with LOVs to hold sql query for your list of values. The record group can contain static data as well it can access data from database tables thru sql queries.

What is the use of cursors in PL/SQL ? What is REF Cursor ?

· Key-triggers
· Navigational-triggers
· Transaction-triggers

· Error-triggers
· Query based-triggers
What is the use of Temp tables in Interface programs ?
Ans : Temporary tables are used in Interface programs to hold the intermediate data. The data is loaded into temporary tables first and then, after validating through the PL/SQL programs, the data is loaded into the interface tables.
What are the steps to register concurrent programs in Apps ?
Ans : The steps to register concurrent programs in apps are as follows :
· Register the program as concurrent executable.

· Add the concurrent program to the request group of the responsibility
How to pass parameters to a report ? do you have to register them with AOL ?
Ans: You can define parameters in the define concurrent program form. There is no need to register the parameters with AOL. But you may have to register the value sets for those parameters.
Do you have to register feeder programs of interface to AOL ?
Ans : Yes ! you have to register the feeder programs as concurrent programs to Apps.
What are forms customization steps ?
Ans: The steps are as follows :
· Copy the template.fmb and Appstand.fmb from AU_TOP/forms/us.Put it in custom directory. The libraries (FNDSQF, APPCORE, APPDAYPK, GLOBE, CUSTOM, JE, JA, JL, VERT) are automatically attached .
· Create or open new Forms. Then customize.
· Save this Form in Corresponding Modules.
What is Key and Descriptive Flexfield.
Ans : Key Flexfield: #unique identifier, storing key information
# Used for entering and displaying key information.
For example Oracle General uses a key Flexfield called Accounting
Flexfield to uniquely identifies a general account.
Descriptive Flexfield: # To Capture additional information.
# to provide expansion space on your form
With the help of [] . [] Represents descriptive
Flexfield.
Difference between Key and Descriptive Flexfield?
Ans :
Key Flexfield | Descriptive Flefield |
| 1. Unique Identifier | 1.To capture extra information |
| 2. Key Flexfield are stored in segment | 2.Stored in attributes |
| 3.For key flexfield there are flexfield Qualifier and segment Qualifier | 3. Context-sensitive flexfield is a feature of DFF. (descriptive flexfield) |

APPCORE packages. Follow the documentation for the corresponding
APPCORE routines, but add a 2 to the package names.
