• FND_LOG, this is used for debugging.
• This has a procedure named string, which does a commit.
• Hence your debug messages are not lost in the event of rollback during unhandled exception.

• Most common way is to use FND user exits provided by oracle applications.
• Other way is to directly use the DB views (TableName  || ‘_KFV’ or ’_DFV’) created by apps, and use the concatenated_segments column which holds the concatenated segments of the key or descriptive flexfields.

• An autonomous transaction is an independent transaction started by another transaction.
• Autonomous transactions let you suspend the main transaction, do SQL operations, commit or roll back those operations, then resume the main transaction.

• Record group are used with LOVs to hold sql query for your list of values.
• The record group can contain static data as well it can access data from database tables through SQL queries.

• An Oracle Applications field made up of segments.
• Each segment has an assigned name and a set of valid values.
• Oracle Applications uses flexfields to capture information about your organization.

There are five report trigger :

• Before Report
• After Report
• Before Parameter Form    
• After Parameter Form
• Between Pages

The Firing sequence for report triggers is

 Before Parameter Form > After Parameter Form > Before Report > Between Pages > After Report

The steps are as follows :

1. Design your report in Oracle Report Developer
2. Generate the executable file of the report as .rdf.
3. Move the executable as well as source file to the appropriate product’s folder.
4. Register the report as concurrent executable.
5. Define the concurrent program for the executable registered.
6. Add the concurrent program to the request group of the responsibility.

Triggers are used in forms for event handling.

You can write PL/SQL code in triggers to respond to a particular event occurred in your forms like when user presses a button or when he commits the form.

The different type of triggers available in forms are :

• Key-triggers
• Navigational-triggers
• Transaction-triggers
• Message-triggers
• Error-triggers
• Query based-triggers

• Temporary tables are used in Interface programs to hold the intermediate data.
• The data is loaded into temporary tables first and then, after validating through the PL/SQL programs, the data is loaded into the interface tables.

• You can define parameters in the define concurrent program form.
• There is no need to register the parameters with AOL. But you may have to register the value sets for those parameters.

The steps are as follows :

• Copy the template.fmb and Appstand.fmb from AU_TOP/forms/us.
• Put it in custom directory.
• The libraries (FNDSQF, APPCORE, APPDAYPK, GLOBE, CUSTOM, JE, JA, JL, VERT) are automatically attached .
• CREATE OR OPEN NEW FORMS.
• Now, Customize.
