oracle concepts for you: Create a Simple Search Page

Monday 23 June 2014

Create a Simple Search Page

After doing the initial setup we will now create a simple search page.

1> Create a database Connection EX: AKDEV
> Connections Navigator
> Connection > New Database Connection

> It will launch Create Database Connection Wizard
> Click on Next and give the Connection Name

> Provide the database access details and check 'Deploy Password'

> Provide connection details from dbc file

> Test the connection

       > Create a new workspace
          > Applications Navigator
          > Applications > New OA Workspace...

> Workspace name (Ex: AKOAWorkspace.jws)
Note: Directory name will be defaulted based on your JDEV_HOME environment variable setting

          > Provide the Project name and default package name
            (Ex: XXHWOAProject
                  : xxhw.oracle.apps..per.nic.schema.server -- please follow the naming convention)

> Choose the database connection created above

> Select appropriate dbc file.

> Provide the application user access details and application short name and responsibility key.
Note: Responsibility should be attached to the user.

> Done with Project wizard

> Update Project property
> Oracle Applications > Run Options > OaDeveloperMode and OADiagnostic

> Now we will create an Entity object to the project created
> New > Business Tier > ADF Business Components > Entity Objects

> Provide entity name (xxhwhrnicEO), package (xxhw.oracle.per.nic.schema) and
database Object (hw_custom.xxhw_hr_nic_data)

***Sometimes database schema name and schema object field is not enabled.
Do the following steps:
1. Before trying to create the EO, first open New > Business tier > ADF Business Components > Business Components from Tables.
2. Click OK and it will ask you to connect.
3. Connect and then cancel out of the wizard and try again.

> Next

> Make any column as primary key else by default it will make rowid as primary key

> Select Generate Java File under Entity Collection and Entity Object class
and Accessors, create method and Remove Method

> Lets create a View object (xxhwhrnicVO) in this wizard only in
package xxhw.oracle.apps.per.nic.server

> Done with EO

> Adding an Application Module (xxhwhrnicAM)
> Project > New > Business Tier > Application Module

Package as same as the VO xxhw.oracle.apps.per.nic.server

> Attach the above created VO to the AM

> Select Generate Java Class for AM Class and done with AM

>> We will create a search page now
> Project > New > Web Tier > OA Components > Page

> Page name (xxhwhrnicPG) under package (xxhr.oracle.apps.per.nic.webui)

> Change ID (PageLayoutRN) and AM definition (Above Created AM),
Window Title and Title (Ex: National Insurance Contribution) of the page

> Now add Query region and Result table
> Page > New > Region

> Change ID(QueryRN) Region Style(query) and Construction Mode(ResultsBasedSearch)

> Create New region using wizard to the QueryRN

> Select AM and VO

> Select region style as 'Table'

> Select appropriate columns from table

             > Change Prompt and style
                  >> Change style to messagestyledtext if you want to make the column
                        un-updatable, else messageTextInput

> Finish

> Make the changes for columns for search Allowed/sort allowed

> Now compile the page

> It may give error for who columns methods missing in EOImpl class like below

Error(17,14): class xxhw.oracle.apps.per.nic.schema.xxhwhrnicEOImpl should be declared abstract; it does not define method setLastUpdateLogin(oracle.jbo.domain.Number) of class oracle.apps.fnd.framework.server.OAEntityImpl

> Add below codes to EOImpl java file (xxhwhrnicEOImpl.java)

public void setLastUpdateLogin( oracle.jbo.domain.Number n ) {}
public void setLastUpdateDate( oracle.jbo.domain.Date n ) {}
