has no arguments.
FND_CONCURRENT.AF_ROLLBACK
Summary
|
function
FND_CONCURRENT.AF_ROLLBACK;
|
Description
|
FND_CONCURRENT.AF_ROLLBACK
is used by concurrent programs that use a particular rollback segment. This
rollback segment must be defined in the Define Concurrent Program form.
|
FND_CONCURRENT.AF_ROLLBACK
executes the
ROLLBACK
command for the specified rollback segment.
FND_CONCURRENT.AF_ROLLBACK
has no arguments.
FND_CONCURRENT.GET_REQUEST_STATUS (Client or
Server)

return
boolean;
|
Description
Arguments (input)
|
Returns
the status of a concurrent request. If the request has already completed,
also returns a completion message.
FND_CONCURRENT.GET_REQUEST_STATUS
returns
both
"user-friendly" (i.e., translatable) phase and status values, as
well as "developer" phase and status values that can drive program
logic.
|
request_id
|
The
request ID of the program to be checked.
|
application
|
Short
name of the application associated with the concurrent program. This
parameter is necessary only when the request_id is not specified.
|
program
Arguments (output)
|
Short
name of the concurrent program (not the executable). This parameter is
necessary only when the request_id is not
specified. When application and program are provided, the request ID of
the last request for this program is returned in request_id.
|
phase
|
The
user-friendly request phase from FND_LOOKUPS.
|
status
|
The
user-friendly request status from FND_LOOKUPS.
|
dev_phase
|
The
request phase as a constant string that can be used for program logic
comparisons.
|
dev_status
|
The
request status as a constant string that can be used for program logic
comparisons.
|
message
|
The
completion message supplied if the request has completed.
|
Example
call_status
boolean; rphase varchar2(80); rstatus varchar2(80); dphase varchar2(30); dstatus varchar2(30); message varchar2(240);
call_status :=
FND_CONCURRENT.GET_REQUEST_STATUS(<Request_ID>,
'', '',
rphase,rstatus,dphase,dstatus,
message); end;
In the above example,
rphase and rstatusreceive the same phase and status values as are displayed on
the Concurrent Requests form. The completion text of a completed request
returns in a message.
Any developer who
wishes to control the flow of a program based on a request's outcome should use
the following values to compare the request's phase and status.
Possible values for
dev_phase and dev_status are listed and described in the following table:

FND_FILE: PL/SQL File I/O
The FND_FILE package
contains procedures to write text to log and output files. These procedures are
supported in all types of concurrent programs.
For testing and
debugging, you can use the procedures FND_FILE.PUT_NAMES and FND_FILE.CLOSE.
Note that these two procedures should not be called from a concurrent program.
FND_FILE supports a
maximum buffer line size of 32K for both log and output files.
Important:
This
package is not designed for generic PL/SQL text I/O, but rather only for
writing to request log and output files.
See: PL/SQL File I/O
Processing, page 17-2
FND_FILE.PUT
Summary
|
procedure
FND_FILE.PUT
(which
IN NUMBER, buff IN VARCHAR2);
|
Description
Arguments (input)
|
Use
this procedure to write text to a file (without a new line character).
Multiple calls to FND_FILE.PUT will produce
concatenated
text. Typically used with
FND_FILE.NEW_LINE.
|
which
|
Log
file or output file. Use either FND_FILE.LOG or FND_FILE.OUTPUT.
|
buff
|
Text
to write.
|
FND_FILE.PUT_LINE
Summary
|
procedure
FND_FILE.PUT_LINE
(which IN NUMBER, buff IN VARCHAR2);
|
Description
Arguments (input)
|
Use
this procedure to write a line of text to a file (followed by a new line
character). You will use this utility most often.
|
which
|
Log
file or output file. Use either FND_FILE.LOG or FND_FILE.OUTPUT.
|
buff
|
Text
to write.
|
Example
Using Message
Dictionary to retrieve a message already set up on the server and putting it in
the log file (allows the log file to contain a translated message):
FND_FILE.PUT_LINE(
FND_FILE.LOG, fnd_message.get );
Putting a line of text
in the log file directly (message cannot be translated because it is hardcoded
in English; not recommended):
fnd_file.put_line(FND_FILE.LOG,'Warning:
Employee '||
l_log_employee_name||' ('|| l_log_employee_num
|| ') does not
have a manager.');
FND_FILE.NEW_LINE
Summary
|
procedure
FND_FILE.NEW_LINE
(which IN NUMBER,
LINES
IN NATURAL := 1);
|
Description
Arguments (input)
|
Use
this procedure to write line terminators (new line characters) to a file.
|
which
|
Log
file or output file. Use either FND_FILE.LOG or FND_FILE.OUTPUT.
|
lines
|
Number
of line terminators to write.
|
Example
To write two new line
characters:
fnd_file.new_line(FND_FILE.LOG,2);
FND_FILE.PUT_NAMES
Summary
|
procedure
FND_FILE.PUT_NAMES
(p_log IN VARCHAR2, p_out IN VARCHAR2, (p_dir IN VARCHAR2);
|
Description
|
Sets the temporary log and out filenames and the temp
|
directory to the
user-specified values. DIR must be a directory to which the database can write.
FND_FILE.PUT_NAMES
should be called before calling any other FND_FILE function, and only once per
session.
Important:
FND_FILE.PUT_NAMES
is meant for testing and debugging from SQL*Plus; it does nothing if called
from a concurrent program.
BEGIN
fnd_file.put_names('test.log', 'test.out',
'/local/db/8.0.4/db-temp-dir/');
fnd_file.put_line(fnd_file.output,'Called
stored
procedure');
/* Some logic here... */
fnd_file.put_line(fnd_file.output, 'Reached
point A');
/* More logic, etc... */ fnd_file.close; END;
Arguments (input)
|
|
p_log
|
Temporary
log filename.
|
p_out
|
Temporary output filename.
|
p_dir
|
Temporary directory name.
|
Example
BEGIN
fnd_file.put_names('test.log', 'test.out',
'/local/db/8.0.4/db-temp-dir/');
fnd_file.put_line(fnd_file.output,'Called
stored
procedure');
/* Some logic here... */
fnd_file.put_line(fnd_file.output, 'Reached
point A');
/* More logic, etc... */ fnd_file.close; END;
FND_FILE.CLOSE
Summary procedure FND_FILE.CLOSE;
Description Use this procedure to
close open files.
Important:
Use
FND_FILE.CLOSE only in command lines sessions.
FND_FILE.CLOSE should
not be called from a concurrent program.
Example
BEGIN
fnd_file.put_names('test.log', 'test.out',
'/local/db/8.0.4/db-temp-dir/'); fnd_file.put_line(fnd_file.output,'Called
stored
procedure');
/* Some logic here... */
fnd_file.put_line(fnd_file.output, 'Reached
point A');
/* More logic, etc... */ fnd_file.close; END;
Error Handling
The FND_FILE package
can raise one exception, FND_FILE.UTL_FILE_ERROR, which is raised to indicate
an UTL_FILE error condition. Specifically, the procedures
FND_FILE.PUT,
FND_FILE.PUT_LINE and FND_FILE.NEW_LINE can raise
FND_FILE.UTL_FILE_ERROR
if there is an error. In addition to this package exception, FND_FILE can also
raise predefined PL/SQL exceptions such as NO_DATA_FOUND or VALUE_ERROR.
FND_FILE will raise a
UTL_FILE_ERROR if it is not able to open or write to a temporary file. It is up
to the concurrent program to error out or complete normally, after the
FND_FILE.UTL_FILE_ERROR exception is raised. FND_FILE keeps the translated
message in the message stack before raising the UTL_FILE_ERROR exception.
Developers can get the message for FND_FILE errors and use it as a Request
Completion text. It is up to the caller to get the message from the message
stack by using the FND_MESSAGE routine within an exception handler.
The concurrent manager
will keep all the temporary file creation errors in the request log file.
FND_PROGRAM: Concurrent Program Loaders
The FND_PROGRAM
package includes procedures for creating concurrent program executables,
concurrent programs with parameters and incompatibility rules, request sets,
and request groups. The FND_PROGRAM package also contains functions you can use
to check for the existence of concurrent programs, executables, parameters, and
incompatibility rules.
The arguments passed
to the procedures correspond to the fields in the Oracle
Application Object
Library forms, with minor exceptions. In general, first enter the parameters to
these procedures into the forms for validation and debugging.
If an error is
detected, ORA-06501: PL/SQL: internal error is raised. The error message can be
retrieved by a call to the function fnd_program.message().
Some errors are not
trapped by the package, notably "duplicate value on index".
Note that an exception
is raised if bad foreign key information is provided. For example,
delete_program() does not fail if the program does not exist, but does fail if
given a bad application name.

function
FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST
(application IN varchar2 default NULL, program IN varchar2 default NULL,
description IN varchar2 default
NULL, start_time IN varchar2
default NULL, sub_request IN
boolean default FALSE
argument1,
argument2, ..., argument99,
argument100) return number;
|
Description
|
Submits a concurrent request for processing by a
|
concurrent manager. If
the request completes successfully, this function returns the concurrent
request ID; otherwise, it returns 0.
The
FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST function returns
the concurrent request
ID upon successful completion. It is then up to the caller to issue a commit to
complete the request submission.
Your code should
retrieve and handle the error message generated if there is a submission
problem (the concurrent request ID returned is 0). Use FND_MESSAGE.RETRIEVE and
FND_MESSAGE.ERROR to retrieve and display the error (if the request is
submitted from the client side). See: Overview of Message Dictionary, page 12-1
You must call
FND_REQUEST.SET_MODE before calling FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST from a database
trigger.
If
FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST fails from anywhere but a database trigger, database
changes are rolled back up to the point of the function call.
After a call to the
FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST function, all setup parameters are reset to their
default values.
Important:
FND_REQUEST
must know information about the user and responsibility from which the request
is submitted. Therefore, this function only works from concurrent programs or
forms within Oracle Applications.
Arguments
(input)
application Short name of the
application associated with the
concurrent
request to be submitted.
program Short name of the
concurrent program (not the executable)
for which the request
should be submitted.
description Description of the
request that is displayed in the Concurrent Requests form (Optional.)
start_time Time at which the
request should start running, formatted as HH24:MI or HH24:MI:SS (Optional.)
sub_request Set to TRUE if the
request is submitted from another request and should be treated as a
sub-request.
This parameter can be
used if you are submitting requests from within a PL/SQL stored procedure
concurrent program.
argument1...100 Arguments for the
concurrent request; up to 100 arguments are permitted. If submitted from Oracle
Forms, you must specify all 100 arguments.
FND_REQUEST.SET_MODE (Server)
Summary function FND_REQUEST.SET_MODE
(db_trigger IN boolean) return boolean;
Description Call this function
before calling
FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST
from a database trigger.
Note that a failure in
the database trigger call of FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST does not roll back
changes. Arguments (input) db_trigger Set
to TRUE if request is submitted from a database trigger.

FND_REQUEST_INFO and Multiple Language
Support (MLS)
FND_REQUEST_INFO APIs
can be used in multi-language support functions (MLS functions) to get
information for a request.
A multi-language
support function is a function that supports running concurrent programs in
multiple languages. A user can submit a single request for a concurrent program
and have that program run several times, each time in a different language. An
MLS function determines the language(s) in which a request should run.
To enable this
functionality, a developer creates an MLS function as a stored function in the
database. When called, the function determines which languages are to be used
for the concurrent program's data set and returns the list of language codes as
a comma-delimited string. The string is then used by the concurrent manager to
submit child requests for the concurrent program for each target language.
The MLS function can
use the FND_REQUEST_INFO APIs to retrieve the concurrent program application
short name, the concurrent program short name, and the concurrent request
parameters if needed.
The developer
registers the MLS function in the Concurrent Program Executable form, and then
associates the registered MLS function with a concurrent program in the
Concurrent Programs form.

FND_REQUEST_INFO.GET_PARAMETER
Summary
|
function
GET_PARAMETER
(param_num IN NUMBER) return varchar2;
|
Description
|
This function returns the concurrent request's
parameter
|
value for a given
parameter number. The function will return the value as varchar2.
Arguments
(input)
param_num The number of the
parameter of the request's concurrent program.
Example MLS Function
Suppose you have a
concurrent program that will send each employee a report of his or her
available vacation days. Assume that the concurrent program will accept a range
of employee numbers as parameters. The employees all want to receive the
vacation days report in their preferred language. Without an MLS function, the
user who submits this concurrent program has to guess at all the preferred
languages for the given range of employee numbers and select those languages
while submitting the request. Selecting all installed languages might be a
waste of resources, because output may not be required in all installed
languages.
Assume you have an
employees table (emp) with the following columns:
emp_no number(15),
...
preferred_lang_code varchar2(4), ...
Your concurrent
program has two parameters for the range of employee numbers: parameter 1 is
the starting emp_no and parameter 2 is the ending emp_no.
This MLS function
could be used for other concurrent programs that have the same parameters for
starting and ending employee numbers.
Example
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION
EMPLOYEE_LANG_FUNCTION RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
language_string varchar2(240); start_value varchar2(240); end_value varchar2(240);
CURSOR language_cursor (starting number,
ending number) IS
SELECT DISTINCT(preferred_lang_code)
language_code
FROM
emp
WHERE emp_no BETWEEN starting AND ending
AND
preferred_lang_code IS NOT NULL;
BEGIN
-- Initialize the language string language_string := null;
-- Get parameter values for starting and
-- ending EMP_NO
start_value :=
FND_REQUEST_INFO.GET_PARAMETER(1); end_value
:= FND_REQUEST_INFO.GET_PARAMETER(2);
FOR languages IN language_cursor(
to_number(start_value), to_number(end_value))
LOOP
IF( language_string IS NULL ) THEN
language_string :=
languages.language_code;
ELSE
language_string := language_string
|| ',' ||
languages.language_code;
END IF;
END LOOP;
RETURN (language_string);
END EMPLOYEE_LANG_FUNCTION;
FND_SET: Request Set Loaders
The FND_SET package
includes procedures for creating concurrent program request sets, adding
programs to a request set, deleting programs from a request set. and defining
parameters for request sets.
The arguments passed
to the procedures correspond to the fields in the Oracle Application Object
Library forms, with minor exceptions. In general, first enter the parameters to
these procedures into the forms for validation and debugging.
If an error is detected,
ORA-06501: PL/SQL: internal error is raised. The error message can be retrieved
by a call to the function fnd_program.message().
Some errors are not
trapped by the package, notably "duplicate value on index".
Note that an exception
is raised if bad foreign key information is provided. For example,
delete_program() does not fail if the program does not exist, but does fail if
given a bad application name.
