Oracle Apps Interview Q/A - 2

Q1: Difference between customization, enhancement and implementation?

Ans: Customization: Customization is the developing of the forms, reports and SQL script from the beginning or changing the existing.

Enhancement:  Enhancement is the modification of forms & Other components according to client user requirement.

Implementation: Implementation is the testing of Applications.

Q2: What are the Types of Customizations?

Ans: There are two types of customizations.

          1). Customization by extensions

          2). Customizations by Modifications.

 Customization by extensions:  Customization by extension means developing new:

Component for existing Oracle applications and develop new application using the

Development feature of AOL (Application object Library).

Customization by extensions means Copying an Existing Oracle Application Component (Forms, Report, PL/SQL etc.) to a custom application directory and modifying the Copy.

Customizations by Modifications:  Modifying   existing oracle application Component to meet your specific Requirement.

Q3:  What are the most Common Types of Customization?

Ans:      TYPE 1:      # Changing Forms:

1)     . Changing Forms

Ans37: At midnight because traffic is less.

Qns38: Who is Holder of Alerts?

Ans38: Alert Manager.

Qns39: What is TOAD.

Ans39: Tool for managing database activity,

Qns40: What is Flexfield?

Ans40: Oracle Application uses Flexfield to capture information about

             Your organization. Flexfield have flexible structure for storing key information.

              Like Company, Cost Center, and Account. They also give u highly adaptable

               Structure for storing customized information in oracle Applications.

Qns41: What are the elements of Flex field?

Ans41:  1). Structure            2). Segment

              3). Segment value   4). Value set

Qns42: What do u means by structure?

Ans42:  Structure as the name implies defines how Flexfield is constructed. A Flex field    structure determines how many Segments it has, as well as how the segments are sequenced. Each structure is mapped to a structure ID Column in the database table for key Flexfield. Each Structure is mapped with context sensitive column in the database table for descriptive Flexfield.

Qns43:  What do u means by Segment?

Ans 43: Each Segment represents an element of your business structure

               Such as Employee, Cost Center, Account. A Flexfield can have

               Multiple Field. A segment is a single field with in a Flexfield.

Qns44: What do u means by Value set?

Ans 44: Value set identifies a list of valid value for the segment.

               Value set also governs the segment value’s length, its data type.

Qns45: What do u means by Segment value?

 Ans45:  Value for each segment of flex field.

Qns46: What is Key and Descriptive Flexfield.

Ans46: Key Flexfield: #unique identifier, storing key information

                                     # Used for entering and displaying key information.

                   For example Oracle General uses a key Flexfield called Accounting

                   Flexfield to uniquely identifies a general account.

             Descriptive Flexfield: # To Capture additional information.

                                                  # To provide expansion space on your form

                                                 With the help of []. [] Represents descriptive flexfield.

Qns47: Difference between Key and Descriptive Flexfield?

Ans47:

Key Flexfield	Descriptive Flefield
1. Unique Identifier	1.To capture extra information
2. Key Flexfield are stored in segment	2.Stored in attributes
3.For key flex field there are flex field Qualifier and segment Qualifier	3. Context-sensitive flex field is a feature  of DFF.(descriptive flex field)

Qns48: Difference between Flexfield Qualifier and Segment Qualifier.

Ans48:  Flexfield qualifier is used to identify a particular segment within a Key flexfield.

             While segment qualifier is used to capture value for any particular Segment.

Qns49:       What is Cross Validation Rule?

Ans 49: To prevent users from entering invalid combinations of segments Oracle General Ledger allows u to set up cross validation rule. There are two types of cross-validation

Rule element: include and exclude.   For example, to secure a balance sheet account to be associated with the balance sheet cost center or the corporate cost center only,U must include every possible combination then exclude the balance Sheet account range for the cost center.

                       

Qns50:    Purpose of Cross Validation rule.

Ans50:  u can use Cross Validation rule to perform certain validations in your            Accounting flex field. For example, u can use Cross Validation rule  To secure all balance sheet account to be associated only with the balance Sheet cost center, corporate cost center and profit and loss account to be associated with the specific cost center other than the corporate Center.

Qns51:  What are types of segment for Descriptive Flexfield.

Ans51: Two types

          1). Global segments

          2). Context-sensitive segment.

   Global Segment: global segment maps one to one to a database column.

                                DFF segment stored in ATTRIBUTE. Global segment always

                                Displayed in a descriptive flex field.

 Context-Sensitive Segment: Context sensitive segment can share a single database

Column because the context – sensitive will be                                               Mutually exclusive and will never overlap.

Qns52:  What is Key Flexfield in AP, AR, GL.

Ans52: Key Flexfield in GL: Accounting Flexfield.

            Accounting Flexfield is chart of account flex field.

            It is used for identifying an account combination.

            It must have a balancing segment, cost center segment, Natural account segment.

            Combination table in Acct. FF: GL_CODE_COMBINATION_ID.

            Structure column: chart_of_accounts_id.

            Maximum number of Segments: 30.

  

            Key flex field in AR: 1). Sales Tax Location Flexfield.

                                               2). Territory Flexfield

            Sales Tax Location Flexfield: to calculate sales tax.

            Combination table: AR_LOCATION_COMBINATION

            Max number of segment: 10

            Territory Flexfield: This is used to group territories according to company  needs

             Combination table: RA_TERRITORIES.

Qns53:  What is purpose of Token Field.

 Ans53: To define parameter name defined in oracle reports.

Qns54: What is Template form?

Ans54  Template form is the starting point for all development of new form.

             To organize PL/SQL code in the form so that it is easier to develop,

             Maintain and debug.

             Types Of handler: 1). Item handler

                                           2). Event handler

                                           3). Table handler.

             Item handler: An item handler is a PL/SQL Procedure.

                                   That encapsulates all of the code that acts upon an item.

             Event handler: An item handler is a PL/SQL Procedure.

                                   That encapsulates all of the code that acts upon an event.
