System Profile Options

This appendix covers the following topics:

Before You Begin

Before making Oracle Forms settings, ensure that all Oracle Applications server processes are up and running. In particular, if you stopped concurrent managers before applying Oracle Applications patchsets, restart them now by changing to $COMMON_TOP/admin/scripts, and executing adcmctl.sh<APPS username?Apps password>start.

Setting Profile Options

Use the following procedure to set a profile option.

Prerequisites

None.

Steps

  1. Log in to Oracle Forms as a System Administrator and navigate to Functions > Profile > System.

  2. In the Find System Profile Values window, check the level(s) at which you want to set the profile option. The available levels are listed below:

    • Site: Indicates that profiles are set at the site level. This site level setting affects the entire database.

    • Application: If you select this level, choose the application from the Application LOV for which you want to set the profile option.

    • Responsibility: If you select this level, choose the responsibility from the Responsibility LOV for which you want to set the profile option.

    • User: If you select this level, choose the user from the User LOV for whom you want to set the profile option.

  3. In the Profile field, enter the profile name, such as PV: Item Validation Organization, or a wildcard search criterion such as PV%.

  4. Click Find.

    The System Profile Values form opens with the results of your search.

  5. Verify or set the profile option(s) at the levels that you selected.
