Oracle E-Business Suite R12 Core Development and Extension Cookbook

Chapter 2. Oracle Forms

In this chapter, we will cover:

  • Using forms builder for E-Business Suite

  • Installing the database objects

  • Getting started with forms

  • Creating a master block and container objects

  • Modifying the template code

Introduction

The E-Business Suite (EBS) user interface developed with Oracle Forms Builder is known as the Professional User Interface. The core modules have all been built using this development tool. However, the user interface for new modules is now developed using JDeveloper and is known as the Self Service User Interface.

Introduction

The E-Business Suite (EBS) user interface developed with Oracle Forms Builder is known as the Professional User Interface. The core modules have all been built using this development tool. However, the user interface for new modules is now developed using JDeveloper and is known as the Self Service User Interface.

Oracle provides a TEMPLATE form to get us started with developing forms. It has some referenced objects that allow us to develop forms in a consistent manner using the same standards and look and feel as all of the other forms within EBS. The referenced objects contain property classes and visual attributes, the standard toolbar, and the standard calendar. It also comes with code already written in triggers and program units. These help us to provide hooks to events that occur at runtime. This in turn ensures that any forms developed using the TEMPLATE.fmb conforms to Oracle standards and behaviors. Also, it makes it much easier for developers knowing that forms...

Using forms builder for E-Business Suite

We are going to briefly look at forms builder before we start developing a new form. E-Business Suite does not use some features of the forms developer IDE such as alerts or reports. There are also some functions in EBS that replace some of the standard Oracle Forms built-ins. We will look at some of these in the coming chapters. Let's start by looking at the interface and discussing the features that need to be highlighted before we get started. The following screenshot shows us the forms developer once we have opened the TEMPLATE form:

We will discuss the IDE and the features available before we get going:

  1. 1. Module: We need to change its properties from TEMPLATE to the name of our form. The name must be the same as the name of the form. We always need to set the property class (Subclass Information) to MODULE. We also need to set the Console Window and the First Navigable Block properties.

  2. 2. Triggers: The form level Triggers come with some code...

Installing the database objects

Create the database objects for this chapter before you start by using a script provided called 4842_02_01.sh. We are going to create a table, a view, and a synonym for the new block we will create. We will also create a package that will handle all of the database transactions such as insert, update, and delete. Finally, we will create a sequence that will be used to generate a unique number for new records. The following recipe provides details of how to run the script.

How to do it...

To create the database objects required for this chapter, perform the following tasks:

  1. 1. Create a local directory c:\packt\scripts\ch2 where the scripts are downloaded and extracted to.

  2. 2. Open Putty and connect to the application tier user.

  3. 3. Create a new directory on the application tier under $XXHR_TOP/install using the following commands:

    cd $XXHR_TOP/install
mkdir ch2

  4. 4. Navigate to the new directory cd ch2 using the following command:

    cd ch2

  5. 5. Open WinSCP and FTP the...

Getting started with forms

In this recipe, we are going to look at getting everything started so that we can build forms to be used in E-Business Suite. We are going to be using Oracle Forms Builder version 10g and we are also going to be using WinSCP.

In this recipe, we are going to perform the following tasks:

  • Installing Oracle Developer Suite

  • Creating the forms builder desktop shortcut

  • Adding a TNS names entry

  • Setting runtime parameters in the environment file

  • FTP forms and libraries

  • Opening the TEMPLATE form

  • Renaming the TEMPLATE form

Installing Oracle Developer Suite

We need to install Oracle Developer Suite on our local PCs. We can develop the forms locally but will need to transfer the forms over to the application server and compile them there to run the form in the application. We will look at deploying and testing the forms later on but for now we will install the development tool.

How to do it...

To install the Oracle Developer Suite, perform the following steps:

  1. 1. Create three directories...

Creating a master block and container objects

In this recipe, we are going to start on the basics of a master detail form. There are several tasks that we will need to do:

  • Creating a block using the block wizard

  • Setting the block properties

  • Setting the item properties

  • Setting the canvas properties

  • Setting the window properties

  • Setting the module properties

  • Creating a dummy item

  • Removing unwanted objects

  • Renaming prompts

  • Resizing the viewport

We have already created two views to base our form on at the beginning of this chapter. The views are called XXHR_PERMGR_DETAILS_V and XXHR_PERSON_DETAILS_V. It is always better to base the block on a view, especially for more complex blocks that use multiple tables. There are several reasons for this; for example, it will reduce network traffic and we will not need to write PRE and POST trigger code for non-database fields.

Creating a block using the block wizard

We will first create the master block for the societies form using the block wizard.

How to do it....

Modifying the template code

In this recipe, we are going to modify the code in the TEMPLATE.fmb form. There are certain triggers that need to be modified when creating a new form. The shell is there, we just need to modify the code to make the form function properly. We need to modify code in the following objects:

  • Modifying the PRE-FORM trigger

  • Modifying the WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE trigger

  • Modifying the APP_CUSTOM procedure

Modifying the PRE-FORM trigger

The PRE-FORM trigger stores version information about the form and it also dictates the first window of the form.

How to do it...

To modify the PRE-FORM trigger, perform the following tasks:

  1. 1. Navigate to the form level PRE-FORM trigger and open it.

  2. 2. Make the following changes to the FND_STANDARD.FORM_INFO parameters:

    • Change the $Revision: number to 120.1 (change this each time a new version of the form is released)

    • Change the $Date: to the current date

    • Change the $Author: to your current username

  3. 3. Change the first parameter in the call to the...

Adding a detail block to a form

We are now ready to create a detail block to our form. The detail block is going to store information relating to societies the employee belongs to. The block is a detail block to the PERMGR_DTLS block we have already created. The foreign key is the PERSON_ID. In this recipe, we are going to perform the following tasks:

  • Creating a lookup

  • Creating a detail block

  • Setting the block properties

  • Setting the item properties

  • Creating a relationship between the master and detail blocks

  • Adding a record indicator to the block

Note

The following recipe assumes that you have created a custom schema called XXHR. If you do not have a custom schema, follow the recipe in Chapter 6, Utilities called Creating a custom schema. We have registered the custom application in Chapter 1, Creating Concurrent Programs but we need to create the directory structure on the applications tier. This is where we need to put our custom form.

We have already created a table called XXHR_PER_SOCIETIES...

Adding insert, update, and delete events

Now that we have created the forms objects, it is time to start adding some code. We need to add code to perform inserts, updates, and deletes. As we have based the form on views, we need to trigger the events and then we need to write code to call database procedures to transact data. There are four triggers we need to create on each block where we need to perform transactions. In this example, the only block where we want to do any transactions is the PER_SOCIETIES block. When we insert data, we will also need to increment a sequence number for the SOCIETY_ID column. We will need to perform the following tasks to trigger and code database transactions within our form:

  • Creating a program unit package specification

  • Creating a program unit package body

  • Creating ON-INSERT, ON-UPDATE, ON-DELETE, and ON-LOCK triggers

  • Creating PRE-INSERT and PRE-UPDATE triggers to set the WHO columns

We have created a sequence as we need to generate a unique SOCIETY_ID before...

Deploying forms

Now we have created the form, we should test it. We cannot run the form locally on our PC, so we need to transfer it to the application tier and compile it. We also need to register the form and create a function for it. Then we can add the function to a menu. In this recipe, we are going to perform the following tasks:

  • Registering a form

  • Creating a function that calls a form

  • Adding a form to a menu

  • FTP the form to the application tier

  • Compiling a form

  • Testing a form

Registering a form

Before we can run the form, it needs to be registered in the application.

How to do it...

To register the form, perform the following tasks:

  1. 1. Log in to Oracle and select the Application Developer responsibility.

  2. 2. Navigate to Application | Form and the Forms window will open.

  3. 3. Add a record with the following data:

    Item name

    Item value

    Form

    XXHRSOCC

    Application

    XXHR Custom Application

    User Form Name

    Clubs and Societies Form

    Description

    Clubs and Societies Form

    • The screen should...

Adding buttons, list, and checkbox items

Now that we have created the form and it is running, we want to add some buttons and change the types of fields that we have created in the form. In this recipe, we are going to perform the following tasks:

  • Adding OK and Cancel buttons

  • Modifying the layout

  • Adding triggers to the buttons

  • Creating an LOV for the society name field

  • Configuring the date fields

  • Creating a list item

  • Creating a checkbox item

  • Testing the form

Adding OK and Cancel buttons

We are going to add two buttons. We will add an OK button which will save and exit the form. We will also add a Cancel button which will exit the form without performing any validation. We are going to add the buttons to the PERMGR_DTLS block.

How to do it...

To add buttons to our form, perform the following tasks:

  1. 1. In the forms developer, navigate to Data Blocks | PERMGR_DTLS | Items.

  2. 2. Click on the + button twice to add two new items.

  3. 3. Set the following properties of the first item:

    • Name: OK_BTN

    • Subclass Information...

Adding a query screen to a form

As part of the TEMPLATE form, we get a standard mechanism to create a query screen. This usually is the first screen that is present when the form opens if no data is passed to the form via parameters. This allows the user to search for specific records. In our form, we want to create a query form that allows us to search for an employee. We want the user to be able to search by their name or their employee number. There are a number of steps required to implement a QUERY_FIND window. In this recipe, we are going to perform the following tasks:

  • Adding code to the WHEN-NEW-FORMS-INSTANCE trigger

  • Copying the QUERY_FIND object group

  • Setting the block, canvas, and window properties

  • Editing the button triggers on the QUERY_FIND block

  • Creating items in the query block

  • Resizing the objects on the canvas

  • Creating a PRE-QUERY trigger

  • Creating a QUERY_FIND trigger

Adding code to the WHEN-NEW-FORMS-INSTANCE trigger

Firstly, we are going to add some code to the WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE...

Passing parameters to a form

We can pass parameters to a form to pass data that can help us to perform actions based upon that data. In this case, we want to add a parameter which passes in the PERSON_ID. If the parameter is populated with a value, we do not want to call the query screen. In this recipe, we are going to perform the following tasks:

  • Creating a parameter

  • Bypassing the query find screen

  • Testing the form

  • Testing the form with the PERSON_ID parameter passed in

Creating a parameter

We are now going to create a parameter in our form so that we can pass PERSON_ID into the form. This will allow us to call the form from another form and automatically query back an employee record.

How to do it...

To create a parameter, perform the following tasks:

  1. 1. Navigate to Parameters in the Object Navigator.

  2. 2. Set the following parameter properties:

    • Name: P_PERSON_ID

    • Parameter Data Type: Number

How it works...

We can add as many parameters as we want in our form. They can be used to pass information...

The author has thoroughly reproduced his experience and knowledge in the book.I must say that this book is a must have for the beginners.Though some important notes like OAF and BI Publisher are missing,the author mentions that he will cover it in the second book.I really appreciate you (Andy Penver) especially since I had a very tough time to get a hold on Oracle R12 fundamentals from a developer's point of view.There are a lot of materials on the internet but most of them are unstructured and you have to google again and again to get to the correct point.This book has a lot of diagrams with proper explanations and steps to configure them.Once again a heartily thanks to Andy Penver.I will be eagerly waiting for your second book :D

Good information. Some areas need more examples (or screenshots) and explanations. I recommend it as alearning tool. You will still need the complete reference books if you want more detailed explanations of certain areas or subjects.

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
