Is it possible to submit a concurrent program through self service res

Question

Hi Gurus,
I have a requirement in which when a user logs in and concurrent program run which basically generates online payslip for an employee.Is it possible to submit the concurrent program with the required parameters through the employee self service responsibility?
I would also like to know if the print option could be made available to see the respective payslips after viewing the output through the self service responsibility screen?
Please post your ideas.
Many thanks

Hi
Many thanks for the reply.I am quite new to Oaf so could you please elaborate on the steps required to build the above mentioned requirement?
My understanding is that
We need build a custom controller having submitRequest() method in the ConcurrentRequest class containing the required parameters by using the code below :
*//Sample Code*
public int submitRequest(
String ProgramApplication ,
String ProgramName ,
String ProgramDescription ,
String StartTime,
boolean SubRequest,
Vector Parameters ) throws RequestSubmissionException
ProgramApplication -Application Short name of application under which the program is registered.
ProgramName - Concurrent Program Name for which the request has to be submitted
ProgramDescription - Concurrent Program Description
StartTime - Time at which the request has to start running.
SubRequest - Set to TRUE if the request is submitted from another running request and has to be treated as a sub request.
Parameters - Parameters of the concurrent Request
Here is the example for calling a concurrent program from a OA framework page.
import oracle.apps.fnd.cp.request.ConcurrentRequest;
import oracle.apps.fnd.framework.server.OADBTransaction;
public int submitCPRequest(Number headerId) {
try {
OADBTransaction tx = (OADBTransaction)getDBTransaction();
java.sql.Connection pConncection = tx.getJdbcConnection();
ConcurrentRequest cr = new ConcurrentRequest(pConncection);
String applnName = "PO"; //Application that contains the concurrent program
String cpName = "POXXXX"; //Concurrent program name
String cpDesc = "Concurrent Program Description"; // concurrent Program description
// Pass the Arguments using vector
// Here i have added my parameter headerId to the vector and passed the vector to the concurrent program
Vector cpArgs = new Vector();
cpArgs.addElement(headerId.stringValue());
// Calling the Concurrent Program
int requestId = cr.submitRequest(applnName, cpName, cpDesc, null, false, cpArgs);
tx.commit();
return requestId;
} catch (RequestSubmissionException e) {
OAException oe = new OAException(e.getMessage());
oe.setApplicationModule(this);
throw oe;
Please add on if there is something which is missed out
