Oracle EBS 11i:Creating a simple search/result page in OAF

In this post we will see how to create a simple search/result OAF page. I have taken a simple supplier search/result page as an example.

Pre-requisites for this video:

• JDeveloper 9i with OA Extension
• You have the EO / VO / AM (BC4J components) ready for the OAF page -refer my last video on how to create these.
  

I have used Oracle JDeveloper 9i with OA extension as the IDE. (refer my previous post on how to install and set up JDeveloper 9i with OA extension)

Check out the following video about how to create a simple search/result page in OAF,

OAF:Creating EO / VO / AM

As part of creating an OAF page using Oracle application framework using JDeveloper 9i, in this post we will see how to create

• Entity Object (EO)
  
• View Object (VO)
• Application Module (AM)

These are the pre-requisites for creating a page in OAF.

Pre-requisites for this video tutorial are,

• JDeveloper 9i with OA Extension (I have used for Oracle application ver 11.5.10.2CU) - Refer my previous video for the installation of the same.

Check out following video.

Oracle JDeveloper 9i / 10g with OA Extension installation

Client OS: Windows XP / 2000 / Windows 7
JDeveloper version: JDeveloper 9i / 10g

First get the OA Framework version in your Oracle apps environment using below URL,

http://your_apps_url:port_number/OA_HTML/OAInfo.jsp

replace "your_apps_url" with your APPS URL, PORT_NUMBER with your APPS port number

This will give you info about your OA framework version with some other details about your environment.

Then go to following Oracle metalink note ID:787209.1
This would give you the right patch number to download.

Follow the video to install JDeveloper 9i. This would also work for JDeveloper 10g.
