Publish Extensible Flexfield Attributes

Use the Publish Extensible Flexfield Attributes scheduled process to make your extensible flexfield available to various parts of Oracle Fusion Cloud Order Management, other set ups in Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications, and integrations.

When to Use

This scheduled process updates the rule dictionaries in business rules, constraints, business events, Oracle Integration Cloud Service, and the service mappings that you use for an integration. You can use it:

• After you set up your extensible flexfield and you need to publish it.
• When you change an existing extensible flexfield.
• When you copy setups between instances of order management and your instance includes an extensible flexfield.
• When you reference an extensible flexfield in a business rule. Run this scheduled process whether you use Visual Information Builder or Oracle Business Rules. This scheduled process updates the rule definitions. You must run it each time you set up a new or modify an existing extensible flexfield so you can view and use them in the rule editors.

Troubleshooting Information

• If the Category area of the Edit Extensible Flexfield page doesn't have any rows, then run the Publish Extensible Flexfield Attributes scheduled process.
• If you encounter an 500-Internal Server Error, then you must deploy your extensible flexfields. For details, see Set Up Extensible Flexfields in Order Management.
• If you click Additional Information on the order header or order line when creating a sales order in the Order Management work area, then encounter an error that's similar to ADF_FACES-60097. . . , then remove the space from the Code attribute, deploy, then publish the extensible flexfield. For details, see Determine Data Requirements and Consider Runtime Behavior.
• The scheduled process creates an output file that contains an XML payload. The payload contains the attributes for all the extensible flexfields that you create.
