General Oracle Applications Development

I'm not new to development, but rather new to development in an Oracle 11i environment. Regarding the API's available to epand upon the ERP, how do you distinguish between public and non-public API's?
My company is developing a custom order release process. The decision is not mine to make, I simply work on the project. I need to initiate a credit check and according to any source on metalink and anything else I can find, there is no public API for initiating credit checks. However, when I explore the packages in our ERP database I find a series of API's for doing credit checks, but none of which is documented anywhere. I guess Oracle considers these non-public API's? To those of you who have been doing 11i development is it taboo to use these non-documented API's? Are these API's prone to frequent changes, hence, Oracle makes them non public to discourage use. Or is it common to use these API's? I'd appreciate anyone's input. Thanks.

If it is public is in the documentation.
If it is not public you have to look for api's in the database. It is your risk if Oracle changes the code (not very common but possible).

  • Getting error while configuring WAS 7 Fix Pack 37 with Oracle Application Development Framework (Oracle JDeveloper 11.1.1.7.0)

    Hi,
    I have installed Oracle Unified Directory 11.1.2.2.0 and WebSphere Application Server 7 with Fix Pack 37.
    I am getting error while configuring WAS 7 Fix Pack 37 (7.0.0.37) with Oracle Application Development Framework (Oracle JDeveloper 11.1.1.7.0). While adding products to cell (Oracle Directory Services Manager for WebSphere - 11.1.2.2.0), I am getting below error:
    CFGFWK-64069: The following prerequisites were found to be missing: Oracle WebCenter Composer Extension - 11.1.1.0
    Also attached the screenshot of the error.
    Please help.
    Thanks,

    Hello,
    ODSM has the following dependencies apart from ADF (both components depend also on ADF):
    - UIShell (oracle.idm.uishell.war)
    - Webcenter Composer (oracle.webcenter.composer.war).
    Apparently the composer is missing.
    Important points to check when using ODSM with WAS:
    - To install and configure Oracle Fusion Middleware with IBM WebSphere, you must first install (but not configure) IBM WebSphere
    - You must install the Oracle Application Development Framework as the same user who installed Oracle Unified Directory.
    - appdev must be installed under the same ORACLE_HOME as OUD

  • Oracle Application Development Framework 11g Essentials

    Hi,
    I am planning to give Oracle Application Development Framework 11g Essentials exam but I could not find any Oracle Application Development Framework 11g Essentials certified.
    1) Is this exam has a worth?
    2) What is the importance of this exam?
    3) Why the number of Oracle Application Development Framework 11g Essentials certified is less, even ADF is getting popular?
    4) Should I have Practical experience of Oracle ADF mean everything that is part of exam?
    Thanks and Regards
    Nasir

    Hi,
    +1) Is this exam has a worth?+
    Its not an exam for the "ADF Essentials" edition but the essential ADF knowledge that is tested by this exam. Its the first part of a multipart certification

    +2) What is the importance of this exam?+
    As said, its the first in a series
    +3) Why the number of Oracle Application Development Framework 11g Essentials certified is less, even ADF is getting popular?+
    Less to what? Note that you can run your business on ADF without being certified. However, as a partner or consultant certification certainly is seen as a proof of your skill set
    +4) Should I have Practical experience of Oracle ADF mean everything that is part of exam?+
    Well, luck may be on your side and you could guess some correct answers. However. practical experience certainly is the better guarantee to pass the test

  • General oracle report development scenarios

    Hi
    I need to develop oracle reports as part of my assignment .
    I am looking for some report development examples or scenarios to generate reports using oracle 10g reports developer tool.
    Any site or link or any info would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Dave

    It is the tasks i am looking for that a report developer usually performsI'm not sure what you looking for. A report developer creates reports. Oracle Reports is just a tool for that task. It would be the same task as for a developer in Jasper Reports, BI Publisher, Cognos, Business Objects or any other reporting tool.
    Basically:
    Based on the requirements you design a layout and see what data you need. This is just the analysis phase, no programming here yet.
    For this data you create a data model (the queries). I prefer to create the queries as much as possible as database views, to keep the report itself as simple as possible.
    From this data model you create the layout model.

  • Oracle Application Development Framework

    Hi
    Am trying to run the ADFTutorialSetup (SRDEMO) using oracle 10g sql plus but am getting the message "unable to open file "c:\ADFTutorial10131\scripts\build.sql". Please just give me the privileges i use to run the script.
    I logged in sql plus using /as sysdba. I thought sysdba has all the privileges.
    Help Me Please

    Hi,
    the problem doesn't seem to be the user privileges but the access to the file. If nothing works, try copying the content to the clipboard and paste it into SQL Plus.
    Did you type the file path in ? If yes, try opening it through the sql plus file menu

  • Help me, why Oracle Application raised error:no such trigger.

    Dear friend,
    I have developed a form program in FORMs 6I, and it works in my ORACLE APPLICATIONS ,but after it is installed in another Server,it popup the error windown, it said : FRM-40700:No such trigger:menu_to_appcore.
    I don't know why, somebody told me ,the oracle application with different vesion will cause this problem, is it true?, if it's true, how can i avoid it if i have to use those triggers.
    Thanks a lot.
    regards,

    Willen,
    I suggest you review the Oracle Applications Developer's Guide (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25516_18/current/acrobat/115devg.pdf). More than likely, your form does not include one or more of the required libraries or other subclassed objects required for an Applications Form. I highly recommend you base any Custom Form on the provided TEMPLATE.fmb that comes with Apps. This will ensure you have all the required objects in your form and the library paths are neutral (no hard-coded file paths to the library - which could be the cause of your error).
    somebody told me ,the oracle application with different vesion will cause this problem,As to this statement, you need to contact your DBA or Apps Server admin to find out which version of Oracle Forms is installed on the Apps Server. Your development environment must match. For example, Forms 6i patchset 18 installed on the Apps Server, you should have Forms 6i patchset 18 installed on your workstation. It will work if your workstation has a lower version than the Apps Server, but you're asking for trouble if you have a newer version installed on your workstation.
    Hope this helps.

    P.S. The E-Bus Suite forum is the more appropriate forum for an Applications question. This forum is for non-EBS Forms development. :-)

    As an Oracle Applications Developer, your best friends are going to be the following docuements:
    <ul><li>Oracle Applications Developer's Guide </li>
    <li>Oracle Applications User Interface Standards for Forms-Based Products</li>
    <li>Oracle Application Framework Personalization Guide</li></UL>
    These and all of the other related EBS documents can be found in the Oracle Applications (EBS) Documentation Home and don't forget the Oracle eTRM Technical Reference, but you will need an Oracle Support contract to access this site.
    When you can't find your answer in these document sources, you can always ask for help in the E-Business Suite group of forums.

  • What does Application Development Runtime use oraInventory for?

    Hi everyone,
    I am very new to the ADF and JDeveloper toolset, so I apologize if this is a dumb question.
    I am working with Oracle BI Applications. In particular, there is a product called Spend Classification. Part of the setup is to install Oracle Application Development Runtime (http://download.oracle.com/otn/nt/middleware/11g/ofm_appdev_generic_11.1.1.2.0_disk1_1of1.zip).
    During the install for that product, we ran into an error, insuffcient privildges to the oraInventory folder.
    What does this software use the oraInventory folder for?
    -Joe

    The oracle installer uses the oraInventory directory to keep track of what software is installed on a machine
