. If the request completes successfully, this function returns the concurrent re
quest ID; otherwise, it returns 0.
FND_REQUEST.SET_PRINT_OPTIONS
--> call before submitting a concurrent
request to set print options. Returns TRUE on successful completion, and FALSE o
therwise.
FND_REQUEST.SET_MODE
--> Call this function before ca
lling FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST from a database trigger.
FND_CONCURRENT.GET_REQUEST_STATUS
--> Returns the Status of a concurrent r
equest.
FND_CONCURRENT.WAIT_FOR_REQUEST
--> waits for the request completion, th
en returns the request phase/status and completion message to the caller.
FND_SUBMIT_SET.REQUEST_SET
FND_SUBMIT.SET_PRINT_OPTIONS
FND_SUBMIT.ADD_NOTIFICATION
FND_SUBMIT.SUBMIT_PROGRAM
--> Call this function for each
program (report) in the request set.
FND_SUBMIT.SUBMIT_SET
--> Call this function to submit
the request set which is set by using the SET_REQUEST_SET. If the request set s
ubmission is successful, this function returns the concurrent request ID; otherw
ise; it returns 0.
FND_USER_PKG.CREATEUSER
FND_USER_PKG.UPDATEUSER
FND_USER_PKG.ADDRESP
r
FND_USER_PKG.DELRESP
ser
FND_FILE
I/O API
FND_FILE.PUT
FND_FILE.PUT_LINE

--> Create Oracle FND User

--> Update Oracle FND User
--> Adding responsibility to use
--> End Date responsibility to u
--> PL/SQL File
-->
--> Use this procedure t

o write a line of text to a file. Use fnd_file.LOG as first param to write to CP

file.
FND_FILE.NEW_LINE
--> procedure to write l
ine terminators
FND_FILE.PUT_NAMES
--> Sets the temporary l
og and out filenames and the temp directory to the user-specified values. DIR mu
st be a directory to which the database can write.
FND_FILE.CLOSE
Following are the FND_PROFILE values that can be used in the PL/SQL code:
FND_PROFILE.VALUE('PROFILEOPTION');
FND_PROFILE.VALUE('MFG_ORGANIZATION_ID');
FND_PROFILE.VALUE('ORG_ID');
FND_PROFILE.VALUE('LOGIN_ID');
FND_PROFILE.VALUE('USER_ID');
FND_PROFILE.VALUE('USERNAME');
FND_PROFILE.VALUE('CONCURRENT_REQUEST_ID');
FND_PROFILE.VALUE('GL_SET_OF_BKS_ID');
FND_PROFILE.VALUE('SO_ORGANIZATION_ID');
FND_PROFILE.VALUE('APPL_SHRT_NAME');
FND_PROFILE.VALUE('RESP_NAME');
FND_PROFILE.VALUE('RESP_ID');
Following are the FND_GLOBAL values that can be used in the PL/SQL code:
FND_GLOBAL.USER_ID;
FND_GLOBAL.APPS_INTIALIZE;
FND_GLOBAL.LOGIN_ID;
FND_GLOBAL.CONC_LOGIN_ID;
FND_GLOBAL.PROG_APPL_ID;
FND_GLOBAL.CONC_PROGRAM_ID;
FND_GLOBAL.CONC_REQUEST_ID;
For example, I almost always use the following global variable assignments in my
package specification to use throughout the entire package body:
g_user_id
g_login_id
g_conc_req_id
g_org_id
g_sob_id

PLS_INTEGER

FND_GLOBAL.USER_ID;
FND_GLOBAL.LOGIN_ID;
FND_GLOBAL.CONC_REQUEST_ID;
FND_PROFILE.VALUE('ORG_ID');
FND_PROFILE.VALUE('GL_SET_OF_BKS_ID');

And initialize the application environment as follows:

v_resp_appl_id := FND_GLOBAL.RESP_APPL_ID;
v_resp_id
:= FND_GLOBAL.RESP_ID;
v_user_id
:= FND_GLOBAL.USER_ID;
FND_GLOBAL.APPS_INITIALIZE(v_user_id,v_resp_id, v_resp_appl_id);

FND_CONCURRENT.GET_REQUEST_STATUS
This API Returns the Status of a concurrent request. It also returns the complet
ion text if the request is already completed. The return type is Boolean (Return
s TRUE on successful retrieval of the information, FALSE otherwise).
function get_request_status(request_id
IN OUT NOCOPY number,
appl_shortname IN varchar2 default NULL,

program
phase
status
dev_phase
dev_status
message

OUT
OUT
OUT
OUT
OUT

IN varchar2 default NULL,

NOCOPY varchar2,
NOCOPY varchar2,
NOCOPY varchar2,
NOCOPY varchar2,
NOCOPY varchar2) return boolean;

The parameters are:

REQUEST_ID: Request ID of the program to be checked.
APPL_SHORTNAME: Short name of the application associated with the program. The d
efault is NULL.
PROGRAM: Short name of the concurrent program. The default is NULL.
PHASE: Request phase.
STATUS: Request status.
DEV_PHASE: Request phase as a string constant.
DEV_STATUS: Request status as a string constant.
MESSAGE: Request completion message.
FND_CONCURRENT.WAIT_FOR_REQUEST
This API waits for the request completion, then returns the request phase/status
and completion message to the caller. It goes to sleep between checks for the r
equest completion. The return type is Boolean (Returns TRUE on successful retrie
val of the information, FALSE otherwise).
function wait_for_request(request_id IN number default NULL,
interval IN number default 60,
max_wait IN number default 0,
phase
OUT NOCOPY varchar2,
status
OUT NOCOPY varchar2,
dev_phase OUT NOCOPY varchar2,
dev_status OUT NOCOPY varchar2,
message
OUT NOCOPY varchar2) return boolean;
The parameters are:
REQUEST_ID: Request ID of the request to wait on. The default is NULL.
INTERVAL: Number of seconds to wait between checks. The default is 60 seconds.
MAX_WAIT: Maximum number of seconds to wait for the request completion. The defa
ult is 00 seconds.
PHASE: User-friendly Request phase.
STATUS: User-friendly Request status.
DEV_PHASE: Request phase as a constant string.
DEV_STATUS: Request status as a constant string.
MESSAGE: Request completion message.
There are few other useful apis too.
FND_CONCURRENT.SET_COMPLETION_STATUS: Called from a concurrent request to set it
s completion status and message.
FND_CONCURRENT.GET_REQUEST_PRINT_OPTIONS: Returns the print options for a concur
rent request.
FND_CONCURRENT.GET_SUB_REQUESTS: Get all sub-requests for a given request id. Fo
r each sub-request it provides request_id, phase,status, developer phase , devel
oper status and completion text.
FND_CONCURRENT.Cancel_Request: It cancels a given Concurrent Request.
