Generate Applications Files Tasks

Objectives At the end of this module, you should be able to do the following: Describe AD Administration View log files List file generation tasks you can perform with AD Administration Generate message, form, report and product jar files

Module Overview This module consists of the following topics: Describe AD Administration Perform preliminary steps Respond to prompts Describe the Generate Applications Files menu tasks

AD Administration AD Administration is divided into the following categories: File generation tasks File system maintenance tasks Database maintenance tasks Database entities compilation and reloading tasks These tasks are performed by: Database administrators System administrators Technical specialists

Preliminary Tasks AD Administration preliminary tasks include: Logging on as applmgr Running the environment file Verifying that $ORACLE_HOME is set properly Verifying that $TWO_TASK identifies the correct database Ensuring that $ORACLE_HOME/bin and $AD_TOP/bin are in your PATH Shutting down concurrent managers when relinking certain files or performing certain database tasks Ensuring there is sufficient temporary disk space

AD Administration Prompts AD Administration asks you for: The correct APPL_TOP The name of the log file Your preference on whether to notify you by email if an error occurs during parallel worker execution The batchsize or default number of rows to process and commit during certain SQL operations The correct Oracle Applications database The password for the SYSTEM schema The password for the APPLSYS schema

AD Administration Log Files $APPL_TOP admin <SID> log adadmin.log

AD Administration Log Files If an error occurs or if you are unsure of messages returned by AD Administration, review the main AD Administration log file adadmin.log This log file is located in the $APPL_TOP/admin/<SID>/log directory If errors exist in the main log file, check the appropriate log file listed in the next slide to determine the cause of the error

AD Administration Log Files In addition to the main AD Administration log file, other log files include: adrelink.log - stores information on relinking tasks adworkXXX.log - these are the worker log files where XXX is the number of the worker (for example, 007) For database and generation tasks run in parallel, check these log files for details

AD Administration Main Menu AD Administration Main Menu ----------------------------------------------- 1. Generate Applications Files menu 2. Maintain Applications Files menu 3. Compile/Reload Applications Database Entities menu 4. Maintain Applications Database Entities menu 5. Change Maintenance Mode 6. Exit AD Administration

Generate Applications Files Menu Generate Applications Files ----------------------------------------------------- 1. Generate message files 2. Generate form files 3. Generate report files 4. Generate product jar files 5. Return to Main Menu

Generate Message Files Generate Applications Files ----------------------------------------------------- 1. Generate message files 2. Generate form files 3. Generate report files 4. Generate product jar files 5. Return to Main Menu

Generate Message Files This task generates message binary files (extension .msb) from Oracle Application Object Library tables Oracle Applications uses the message binary files to display messages

Generate Message Files Do you want to generate Oracle Message files using this character set [Yes] ? Enter list of products ('all' for all products) [all] : QA CS CE ... Setting up environment... Generating message files... Creating the AD_UTIL_PARAMS table... ... There are now 33 jobs remaining (current phase=admin):0 running, 33 ready to run and 0 waiting. .. Starting worker processes. Worker process 1 started. .. AD Worker version: 12.0.0 AD Worker started at: Wed Jul 11 2007 03:28:05 ..

Generate Form Files Generate Applications Files ----------------------------------------------------- 1. Generate message files 2. Generate form files 3. Generate report files 4. Generate product jar files 5. Return to Main Menu

Generate Form Files This task generates binary Oracle Forms files (extension .fmx) for all installed languages from the form definition files (extension .fmb) Oracle Applications uses the binary form files to display data entry forms Perform this task whenever you have issues with a form or set of forms

Generate Form Files When generating forms, AD Administration: Prompts for the number of parallel workers Displays the current character set (from NLS_LANG) Asks whether you want to generate Oracle Forms objects in this character set Asks whether you want to regenerate Oracle Forms PL/SQL library files Asks whether you want to regenerate Oracle Forms menu files

Generate Form Files AD Administration also: Asks whether you want to regenerate Oracle Forms executable files Asks for which products to generate Oracle Forms objects Asks whether you want to generate specific forms objects for each selected product

Generate Form Files If you did not choose to generate all forms objects, it displays a list of Oracle Forms objects and allows you to select specific objects It then generates all selected Oracle Forms objects for all selected products in parallel

Generate Form Files Your current character set is ‘WE8ISO8859P1’. . . . Do you want to regenerate Oracle Forms executable files [Yes] ? Enter list of products (‘all’ for all products) [all]: Generate specific form objects for each selected product [No] ? reading product form information... Selecting Oracle Forms PL/SQL library files and menu files to generate... Selecting library and menu files for Applications Object Library...

Generate Report Files Generate Applications Files ----------------------------------------------------- 1. Generate message files 2. Generate form files 3. Generate report files 4. Generate product jar files 5. Return to Main Menu

Generate Report Files This task generates the binary Oracle Reports report files (extension .rdf) for all installed languages. It performs the following actions: Displays the current character set (from NLS_LANG) Asks whether you want to generate Oracle Reports objects using the current character set Asks whether you want to regenerate Oracle Reports PL/SQL library files Asks whether you want to regenerate Oracle Reports executable files Asks for which products you want to generate Oracle Reports objects

Generate Report Files This task performs the following actions: It asks whether you want to generate specific Oracle Reports objects for each selected product If you did not choose to generate all Oracle Reports objects, it displays the list of Oracle Reports objects and allows you to select specific objects Generates all selected Oracle Reports objects for all selected products

Generate Product JAR Files Generate Applications Files ----------------------------------------------------- 1. Generate message files 2. Generate form files 3. Generate report files 4. Generate product jar files 5. Return to Main Menu

Generate Product JAR Files This task: Generates product JAR files under $JAVA_TOP and copies them to $APPL_TOP Copies Oracle Forms registry file (Registry.dat) from $ORACLE_HOME/forms/java to $JAVA_TOP/oracle/forms/registry Signs JAR files, if on the Web server Recreates appsborg.zip and appsborg2.zip under $APPL_TOP and $JAVA_TOP

Module Summary In this module, you should have learned how to do the following: Describe AD Administration View log files Generate message, form, report, and product jar files

Module Discussion Describe the features of AD Administration Describe the flexibility of the generate files options

Module Practice Starting AD Administration Generating forms files
