Oracle EBS Submit Concurrent Program from Self-Service Application

Oracle EBS Submit Concurrent Program from Self-Service Application

The function FNDCPSRSSSWA essentially makes the HTML call:
OA.jsp?akRegionApplicationId=0&akRegionCode=FNDCPPROGRAMPAGE

After referencing the Oracle documentation (OA Framework Developers Guide – 394780.1) and tinkering on one of our test instances, turns out there are a number of options available to shorten the steps. You can actually do quite a bit:

– Set the program name to run by default (programApplName=application short name&programName=program short name)
– Set the program description by default (programDesc=text)
– Hide the step to select the program name (programRegion=Hide)
– Hide the Parameters step (parameterRegion=Hide)
– Hide the Schedule Step (scheduleRegion=Hide)
– Hide the Notifications Step (notifyRegion=Hide)
– Hide the Printing Step (printRegion=Hide)
– Set a Page title (pageTitle=text)
– Redirect the user to a specific page when hitting Cancel or Submitting the request. (requestURL=url)

Each one of these features is applied with a specific parameter (as specified in parentheses next to each feature) appended to the HTML call mentioned above. For example, to hide the Notify Step, the HTML call would be changed to look like the following:

OA.jsp?akRegionApplicationId=0&akRegionCode=FNDCPPROGRAMPAGE&notifyRegion=Hide

So, instead of modifying the seeded Oracle function, you have 2 options.

A. Create your own function and add the appropriate parameters
B. Just use the Destination URI option in Personalization instead of Destination Function to format the URL to navigate to when the button is pressed.

So the customer was able to change the URL to be:

OA.jsp?akRegionApplicationId=0&akRegionCode=FNDCPPROGRAMPAGE&programApplName=EAM
&programName=EAMWRREP&programRegion=Hide&scheduleRegion=Hide&notifyRegion=Hide
&printRegion=Hide

And voila, now when you click the button the steps are dramatically reduced.
