SYSADMIN and Application Developer Interview Q & A:

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.

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.


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 $_TOP).

Explain briefly where are the Custom.pll, Forms, Reports, Sql Loader Control files, Shell
     Script source code and executables files kept?
     Custom.pll - $AU_TOP/resource
     Forms       - $PROD_TOP/Forms/US
     Reports     - $PROD_TOP/Reports/US
     SQL Control Files - $PROD_TOP/Bin
     Shell Scripts - $PROD_TOP/Bin

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.

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.

Where do you create a table and sequence in Apps? Is it APPS schema?
       In custom schema and then grant privileges on it to APPS schema.
