Overview

This manual contains a detailed listing of application messages that appear across the Oracle Applications product families. This manual includes shared messages that appear in Oracle Financials, Oracle Public Sector Financials, Oracle Manufacturing, Oracle Human Resources, and Oracle Application Object Library.

Shared Oracle Applications messages include messages in the message number range APP-0001 to APP-1999. In addition, you can find messages for each application product in this manual.

To help you understand messages that Oracle Applications display, each message description includes, where appropriate, the probable cause of the problem and the actions you can take to solve the problem.

How This Manual Is Organized

This manual contains messages in the range APP-0001 to APP-48999. Use these messages to help diagnose and solve application problems.

Messages that are specific to particular applications in the Oracle Financials, Oracle Public Sector Financials, Oracle Human Resources, Oracle Manufacturing, and Oracle Application Object Library are clustered in message number ranges. For product-specific messages, refer to the message ranges listed on the Ranges page.

Attention: Oracle Application Object Library messages are shared across all Oracle Applications

Messages from Other Oracle Products

Some messages you may encounter in Oracle Applications products are generated by Oracle tools and products other than Oracle Applications. These messages use prefixes other than APP.

Use the manual appropriate to the Oracle product whose prefix appears in the message. For example, the Oracle7 Server product uses the prefix ORA. For ORA messages, such as "ORA-00018: maximum number of sessions exceeded", you would refer to the ORACLE7 Server Messages and Codes Manual to determine how to fix the problem.

Notational Convention

Throughout this manual you will see terms prefaced by an ampersand, such as &Routine Name. When Oracle Applications displays a message online, Oracle Applications replaces these terms prefaced by an ampersand with the actual text the term represents. The actual text depends on the conditions that cause Oracle Applications to display the message. For example the message "APP-0021 There is no &Level level help available" becomes "APP-0021 There is no field help available" when you try to use \ Field Help for a field that has no help.

Searching

You can search for messages by number.

  1. Press the Search button
  2. Enter the message number you wish to find. Do NOT enter the APP- prefix. Enter just the number portion, such as 3046.
  3. Press [Return] or click the OK button

If the message number you requested is not in the system, you will not recieve an error. The system will open the correct number range (such as the 3,000 range) and look for the specified number there. If the number is not found, you will either be left at the top or the bottom of the file, depending on the browser you are using.
