OAF: The program can't start because MSVCR71.dll is missing from your computer.

In one of my project, in one machine we were not able to open the Jdeveloper  (Version 10.1.3.5 - Patch 19170592 ) which we downloaded from the Metalink Note. This post is to help those who face this issue and don't know what to do to fix this.

OA Framework - How to Find the Correct Version of JDeveloper for OA Extensions to Use with E-Business Suite 11i or Release 12.x (Doc ID 416708.1)

After downloading p19170592_R12_GENERIC.zip, unzipped the contents into C:/oracle/Jdev10.1.3.5. After that when we tried to open the Jdeveloper using C:/oracle/Jdev10.1.3.5/jdevbin/jdev/bin/jdevW.exe, we were getting the below error.

"The program can't start because MSVCR71.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."



Fix:  You just need to copy the msvcr71.dll file from C:/oracle/Jdev10.1.3.5/jdevbin/jdk/bin to C:/oracle/Jdev10.1.3.5/jdevbin/jdev/bin.

After copying the file, Jdeveloper opened successfully.

Add the below where clause to the above query to find out all the valuesets which uses a specific value in the whereclause.

 and  ffvt.additional_where_clause like '%AJ%'; -- Replace the value with the string you want to search for.

Oracle Apps: PA_TASKS Hierarchy Query to get all the tasks in Project /Template in the correct order

The below query can be used to get the PA Tasks in a hierarchical order which belongs to a Project/Template which is defined in the Project Accounting Module.

Thanks to Sajeer Omar.

Replace the below hardcoded values before executing :
Project/Template ID

 select x.project_id  
       ,x.task_id  
       ,(lpad(' ',(wbs_level-1)*5,' ')||x.task_number) task_number  
       ,x.parent_task_id  
       ,x.top_task_id  
       ,x.wbs_level  
       ,sys_connect_by_path(x.task_id, '/')  
 from  pa_tasks x  
 where x.project_id = 1 -- Project/Template ID  
 connect by prior x.task_id = x.parent_task_id  
 start with x.parent_task_id is null  
 order by sys_connect_by_path(x.task_id, '/');

Oracle Apps: Sample Concurrent Program Shell script to call multiple SQL scripts

In one of my project, the client to wanted to have a Host Concurrent Program, which calls multiple sql statements. It was easy to create one shell script which calls multiple sql statements. But the client wanted the concurrent program to fail (complete in ERROR status), if any of the sql statements fail (not just the last one).

A sample code which we used in this scenario:
 #!/bin/ksh  
 
 #Do whatever you want here  
 echo Connecting to apps...  
 
 sql_output=`sqlplus -s /nolog <<EOF  
 
 connect apps/$PASSWORD  
 
 prompt getting sysdate value into a variable...  
 COLUMN today NOPRINT NEW_VALUE g_today  
 SELECT to_char(sysdate,'DD-MON-YYYY') today  
 FROM dual;  
 
 set serveroutput on size 1000000  
 
 prompt get the count from debug table...  
 select count(*) from xxaj_debug;  
 
 prompt truncate debug table...  
 truncate table xxaj_debug1;  
 
 prompt populate temporary table...  
 insert into xxaj_debug values (xxaj_seq.nextval, 'Anoop', sysdate);   
 
 update xxaj_debug  
 set msg = 'Anoop Johny';  
 
 COLUMN old_count NOPRINT NEW_VALUE g_old_count  
 select count(*) old_count from xxaj_debug;  
 delete from xxaj_debug;  
 
 EOF`  
 
 if [ `echo "$sql_output" | egrep 'ORA-[0-9]{5}:' | wc -l` -ne 0 ]   
 then   
 echo "$sql_output"   
 exit 1   
 else   
 echo "$sql_output"   
 exit 0  
 fi   
The above script with exit with status 0 if every sql statement is success.

Now if any of the statement fails, it will return with status 1.

In this case : 

Problem : The specified AM,  oracle.apps.xx.xxx.server.XXXXXXXAM, ( which was an AM associated with an external LOV region in the page) was substituted in the Application for another page. AM Substitution is like a site level Personalization as it applies to all the pages where the AM is referenced.

Solution : Remove the AM Substitution.

Note: In this specific case, we were able to replace the AM Substitution with just VO Substitution.

I have seen several cases, where AM Substitution is done, things start failing in the page. Especially, if there is a LOV in the page, you might get different types of errors which will be difficult to debug.
