SYSADMIN and Application Developer

1.    What is the relation between Responsibility, Menu and Request Group?
Responsibility: - A responsibility is a set of authority in Oracle Apps that lets users access only that functionality of the application appropriate to their roles.

Menu: - A menu is a hierarchical arrangement of functions and menus of functions that appears in the Navigator. Each responsibility has a menu assigned to it.

Request Group: - it is a collection of reports or concurrent programs. A system Administrator defines report groups in order to control user access to reports and concurrent programs. Only a system administrator can create a request group.
 
  1. What is a function, how to create one?
A function is apart of an application’s functionality that is registered under a unique name for the purpose of assigning to it to, or excluding it from, a menu (and by extension, responsibility). There are several types of functions: - Form Functions, SubFunctions, and
Non-form functions. We often refer to a form function simply as a form.


  1. What is meant by APPL_TOP?
Environment variable
An operating System variable that describes an aspect of the environment in which your application runs. For example, you can define an environment variable to specify a directory path.
$APPL_TOP: An environment variable that denotes the installation directory for Oracle Application Object Library and your other Oracle applications. $APPL_TOP is usually one directory level above each of the product directories (which are often referred to as $PROD_TOP or $PRODUCT_TOP or $<prod>_TOP).

     Forms       - $PROD_TOP/Forms/US
     Reports     - $PROD_TOP/Reports/US
     SQL Control Files - $PROD_TOP/Bin

  1. When is Custom.pll used?
Custom.pll is used while making new or customizing standard oracle forms in apps. It contains all the forms libraries for apps.

  1. What are profile options; at what levels can these be set?

     A user profile is a set of changeable options that affects the way the applications run. Oracle
     Applications object Library establishes a value for each option in a user’s profile when the
     User logs on or changes responsibility.
     System Profile: - Profile option can be set for the user community.
     User Profile: - Provide Oracle Apps with standard information which describes a user,
     Application, Responsibility and site. At each profile level user profile options can be set.
