Applications Hidden Queries APP_FIND.QUERY_FIND( );

Question

Dear Applications Developers,
I had to access to a query onto a Form that Oracle as usual does not reveal the logic among the tables, what I found was this.
I wanted to grab a query that populates a form into a subform, is being done QUERY_FIND trigger, and I could only find this:
APP_FIND.QUERY_FIND('QOH_LOCATOR2', 'QOH_QF', 'QOH_QF');
In brief, this means that the trigger calls to the form, which Canvas is QOH_LOCATOR2, and the query to be called is stored in an native Oracle table, the name unknown as Oracle hid this in order not to reveal the logic of just a Flat SELECT INTO :attr1, :attr2, :attr3.
I solved this problem doing a POST-QUERY and without hammering my head on where to get this mysterious procedure called:
APP_FIND.QUERY_FIND, if someone has been in the same problem and have found the owner Schemas that owns this stored procedures I should be infinitely grateful.
What I found is this:
Native Enter Query and Execute Query that brings all the default data from a native oracle form, there is no obvious CURSOR that says SELECT ATTR1, ATTR2 from TABLE1, TABLE2 WHERE CONDITION1 AND CONDITION2; is not that simple you have to go down too much just to find out that there are "Secret procedures", indeed they do that, although you cannot see the logic. They are actually not being Wrapped in Binary, if you wanna mean that.
I looked them up in all APPS database trying to find this Source code and not a trace of them, so where are they stored????, if they are stored procedures, even they are not inside of the default packages from FORMS applications, such as DDE, ORA_FFM, etc.
I wanna figure out where is this code coming from.
One hint that I found as well:
All the queries are indexed via Form_id, Canvas_view and the correspondent Query that populates this form in specific, do someone also know those mysterious tables as well?????
Wise selection of making all the queries independent from the forms, being recalled outside by a table that maps to a form, canvas and a field or enter query, execute query mode ..., but Oracle does not share that wisdom, anyway!!!!!

Hi, shabir
Most Probably you are talking about EBS Suite. If then post at {forum:id=475}. Remember to close this thread.
