OA Framework - Getting started in R12

In this audio-video tutorial you will see how to download the right version of jDeveloper for R12.1 instance and will also learn how to run your first OA Framework Page from jDeveloper for R12.1.1 version. This video will get you started with OA Framework Development in Release R12. Following this, in next few articles, I will show a demonstration of taking this to the next steps, i.e. extending Self Service HRMS, iExpenses, Project Management etc.

The steps in brief are listed below, you will see these in the audio-visual link too

1. Login to Metalink

2. Search for "Correct version of jDeveloper in EBusiness Suite"

3. Download the patch zip file

4. Copy this zip file to c:\dev\oaf\r1211

5. Unzip the zip file downloaded

6. Set your JDEV_USER_HOME to c:\dev\oaf\r1211\jdevhome\jdev

7. FTP the dbc file from server location $FND_SECURE and place that into c:\dev\oaf\r1211\jdevhome\jdev\dbc_files\secure

8. Open the Tutorials.zip file

9. Rebuild the project

10. Run the HomePG.xml Page. This page is delivered by Oracle in the sample Tutorials that come bundled with OAF JDeveloper.

In the next article, you will see how to run the Self Service HRMS pages from JDeveloper

Have you guys implemented SSO?
If so, please set profile option "Applications SSO Login Types" to LOCAL or BOTH and then try after terminating oc4j in Jdev

Alternately, given that you are running std tutorial page, your login/password combi or login/resp key/resp application short name combi could be incorrect

dbc file purpose
written by Pp , June 01, 2010

Hi Anil,

This is a good presentation for OAF beginners. I've a doubt here. What is this .dbc file for? I've downloaded this jdeveloper for a practice. I don't have any access to any instances. How do I proceed in this case?

No SSO has been implemented. I tried with both LOCAL and BOTH profile options for "Applications SSO Login Types" but still same result. I have reinstalled JDeveloper again & connected with another environment but still same error.This is url get generated http://192.168.253.49:8988/OA_HTML/runregion.jsp on running HomePG.xml. IP add***s is of my own PC
Do you think it can be anything to do with firewall or something ?

Hi Dinesh Chauhan,
There is the issue with newly relased jdeveloper patch for 12.1. We have raised an SR with Oracle and they have responded back saying : Set profile "Sign-On:Notification" to "No" at site level, which resl**es the issue.

Hi Anil,

Thanks for making such a great site for all of us.

I have a couple of questions that'd l**e to ask.

1. Can I use Jdeveloper 11g to do this getting started tutorial or it is recommended to use jdev 10g?
2. Am I correct to assume the tutorial.zip is in the Patch 8431482 package?

Thank you in advance and have a great one

For 1, you must use JDeveloper 10g for OAF
For 2, in that patch you will find that tutorial.zip is already extracted in myprofiles. However there is no harm in re-extracting the same

Thanks
Anil

Hi Anil,

Hope everything goes well for you.

it'd be great if you can spend a minute or two of your valuable time to look at my questions below.

1. In ..oracleappsndramework oolbox utorialwebuiHomePageCO.java there is a line 'String yahooText = pageContext.getMessage("AK", "FWK_TBX_T_VISIT_YAHOO", null);' and since I'm new in OA Framework, I was wondering where does the system get the value from? is it from one of the JDR tables?
2. Which tutorials that you highly recommend for me to read if I were to create a new OA Page?

I look forward to receiving your reply.

Many Thanks!

Hi Anil,

To make thing a bit clear, for question 1, let's assume there's a case where I want to change the value (label) of 'Visit Yahoo!' under 'Ancillary Content' on top right corner to something else.

Best regards,

Developer
written by Jyotsna Fulay , March 08, 2011

Hi Anil:
we are upgrading to R 12.1.3 apps, I downloaded jdeveloper patch 9879989 ( 10.1.3.3.0), ran the HelowWorld page sucessfully from Toolbox tutorial, everything seems fine. However, whenI create a new OA Workspace and Project, with test.oracle.apps.appshortname.subcomponent directory/package structure, all the objects from Toolbox tutorial show up in the new project. I cleared my pc java cache, browser cache, moved all the Tutorial files to a backup directory, deleted everything under System folder, nothing seem to work. What I am missing? Any help will be greatly appreciated.Thanks.
Jyotsna.
