User Profiles in Oracle Assets
During your implementation, you set a value for each user profile option in Oracle Assets to specify how Oracle Assets controls access to and processes data.
You may also have additional user profile options on your system that are specific to applications other than Oracle Assets.
Generally, your system administrator sets and updates profile values. The Oracle Applications System Administration Reference Manual contains more information on profile options, including the internal names of each Oracle Assets profile option.
Oracle Assets allows you to govern the behavior of many of your forms using user profile options. Your system administrator sets many of these user profile option values for you at the Application, Responsibility, or User Level. The values that you enter for these options at the user level supersede the preset values that you system administrator has entered for you for these options.
Overview Of User Profile Options
This section lists each user profile option in Oracle Assets. For each user profile option, it gives a brief overview of how Oracle Assets uses that user profile, and tells you which level to use to set or update it.
Account Generator:Purge Runtime Data
Setting this profile option to Yes ensures that the Oracle Workflow data used to generate accounting flexfield code combinations using the Account Generator is purged after the Account Generator has completed.
This profile option should always be set to Yes unless you are debugging the Account Generator. It is recommended to set it to No temporarily at the User level. Running the Account Generator with this profile option set to No fills up the workflow tables and slows performance.
Users can see and update this profile option.
This profile option is visible and updatable at all levels.
FA: Archive Table Sizing Factor
Controls the space allotted for the temporary tables created when you archive and purge a book. The sizing factor specifies how many kilobytes of storage to reserve for the initial extent. The default value is 100 kilobytes. You can update this option if you are archiving a large number of records for a fiscal year.
This profile option is visible to the System Administrator and updatable at the application and responsibility levels. It is visible to, but not updatable by, the user.
FA: Cache Sizing Factor
Controls the amount of database information retained in concurrent program for performance improvement. The range is 0 to 5, and the default value is 5; you do not need to update this option.
This profile option is visible to the System Administrator and updatable at the application and responsibility levels. It is visible to, but not updatable by, the user.
FA: Large Rollback Segment Name
Indicates the name of the rollback segment for Oracle Assets to use for programs that require large rollback space, such as Depreciation. If you do not specify a large rollback segment, Oracle Assets uses the first available rollback segment.
This profile option is visible to the System Administrator and updatable at the application and responsibility levels. It is visible to, but not updatable by, the user.
FA: Number of Parallel Requests
Controls the number of requests you run in parallel for those Oracle Assets programs that can run in parallel. For example, use this profile option to run parallel depreciation processes. When you run the process, Oracle Assets spawns a parent process with several child processes. Note that the Parent ID number is identical to that of the Request ID in the View Concurrent Requests form.
Enter a number between 1 and 20 to specify the maximum number of parallel requests you want to allow. The parent process is not included in this number.
This profile option is visible to the System Administrator and updatable at the application and responsibility levels. It is visible to, but not updatable by, the user.
FA: Print Debug
Indicates whether debug tracing messages are printed in concurrent program log files. This profile option is used by Support as a tool to identify a problem with the code.
| Yes
| Enables printing of debug messages
|
| No
| Disables printing of debug messages
|
| (No Value)
| Equivalent to No
|
This profile option is visible to the System Administrator and updatable at the application, responsibility, and user levels.
FA: Print Timing Diagnostics
Indicates whether timing diagnostic messages are printed in concurrent program log files. This profile option is used by Support as a tool to identify a problem with the code.
| Yes
| Enables printing of timing information
|
| No
| Disables printing of timing information
|
| (No Value)
| Equivalent to No
|
This profile option is visible to the System Administrator and updatable at the application, responsibility, and user levels.
