Oracle Apps: How to set Profile Option Value from backend

In this post, I will just post a sample code to set a profile option value from the backend.

This is the sample screen shot of the Profile Option Definition.
Navigation :- Application Developer --> Profile --> System

To set the profile option value, use the below code.

 declare  
   lb_return boolean;  
 begin  
   -- To set the Profile value at site level  
   lb_return := fnd_profile.SAVE ('XXAJ_TEST', 'S', 'SITE');
  
   --To set the Profile value at user Level -- UserName:-348019  
   lb_return := fnd_profile.SAVE ('XXAJ_TEST', 'U', 'USER',146356);
  
   --To set the Profile value at user Level -- Application Name :-General Ledger  
   lb_return := fnd_profile.SAVE ('XXAJ_TEST', 'A', 'APPL',101);
  
   --To set the Profile value at user Level -- Responsibility Name :-General Ledger  
   lb_return := fnd_profile.SAVE ('XXAJ_TEST', 'R', 'RESP', 20434, 101);
  
   --Commit the changes  
   commit;
  
 end;  

After executing the above code:

SAVE procedure:

   /*  
   ** save  
   **  Saves the value of a profile option permanently to the database, at any  
   **  level using the FND_PROFILE_OPTION_VALUES_PKG. This routine can be used  
   **  at runtime or during patching. This routine will not actually commit  
   **  the changes; the caller must commit.  
   **  
   **  ('SITE', 'APPL', 'RESP', 'USER', 'SERVER', 'ORG', or 'SERVRESP').  
   **  
   **  Examples of use:  
   **    FND_PROFILE.SAVE('P_NAME', 'P_VAL', 'SITE');  
   **    FND_PROFILE.SAVE('P_NAME', 'P_VAL', 'APPL', 321532);  
   **    FND_PROFILE.SAVE('P_NAME', 'P_VAL', 'RESP', 321532, 345234);  
   **    FND_PROFILE.SAVE('P_NAME', 'P_VAL', 'USER', 123321);  
   **    FND_PROFILE.SAVE('P_NAME', 'SERVER', 25);  
   **    FND_PROFILE.SAVE('P_NAME', 'ORG', 204);  
   **    FND_PROFILE.SAVE('P_NAME', 'SERVRESP', 321532, 345234, 25);  
   **    FND_PROFILE.SAVE('P_NAME', 'SERVRESP', 321532, 345234, -1);  
   **    FND_PROFILE.SAVE('P_NAME', 'SERVRESP', -1, -1, 25);  
   **  
   **  Arguments/Parameters:  
   **    profileName    - Profile name you are setting  
   **    profileValue   - Profile value you are setting  
   **    levelName     - Level that you're setting at:  
   **              'SITE','APPL','RESP','USER', etc.  
   **    levelValue    - context value used for setting profile option  
   **              value, e.g. user_id for 'USER' level. This does  
   **              not apply to 'SITE' level.  
   **    levelValueAppId  - applies to 'RESP' and 'SERVRESP' levels, i.e.  
   **              the Resp Application_Id.  
   **    levelValue2    - 2nd context value used for setting profile  
   **              option value. This applies to the 'SERVRESP'  
   **              hierarchy.  
   **  
   ** RETURNS: TRUE if successful, FALSE if failure.
