AME FUNCTIONAL
This blog is to provide the steps to Provide AME admin User rights to an USER and to setup an Approval management Engine in Oracle Applications. This mainly deals with the defining of business processes for governing the approval transactions in Oracle Applications. This Document involves Steps to grant AME privileges to a user and to set up AME to transform business cases of an organization into approval routing rules for a particular transaction in oracle Applications.
AME (Approval Management Engine) is a self service Application which defines business process that governs Approval process. AME transforms unique business cases into approval routing rules for a particular transaction in oracle Applications. AME enables user to define business rules in order to govern the approval management in Oracle Application where AME is integrated. AME is also tightly integrated with Workflows
In order to set up an AME user should have some privileges and rights to access AME.
Steps to Provide AME admin rights to a USER:-
1) Log in to Oracle Applications as SYSADMIN user.
1) Select “User Management” Responsibility – “Roles & Role Inheritance” Function from the Menu
Creating Data Grants to assign to Approvals Management Roles
2) Select “All Roles and Groups” in Type and type “Approvals%” in Name and click the “Go” button (you can leave the Code and Application fields blank)
3) Click the “Update” pencil icon for the first row returned
Role = Approvals Management Administrator
Code = FND_RESP|PER|AME_ADMIN_USER_RESP|STANDARD
4) Click the “Create Grant” button
5) Click the “Save and proceed” button if prompted
6) Fill out the Define Grant form as follows:
Name - “Approvals Management Administrator Grant”
Description – “Data Grant to Approvals Management Administrator Responsibility”
Responsibility – “Approvals Management Administrator”
Object – “AME Transaction Types”
7) Click the “Next” button
Ensure Data Context Type = “All Rows” and click the “Next” button
8) Enter “AME Calling Applications” in the Set field, or select it from the LOV returned by the flashlight icon. Click the “Next” button.
9) Review the Grant definition and click the “Finish” button.
Click the “OK” button
Click the “Apply” button
10) Repeat Steps 3 through 11, with the following differences:
Step 3 – Update the second row returned from search where:
Role = Approvals Management Business Analyst
Code = FND_RESP|PER|AME_BUS_USER_RESP|STANDARD
Step 6 -Name - “Approvals Management Business Analyst Grant”
Description – “Data Grant to Approvals Management Business Analyst Responsibility”
Responsibility – “Approvals Management Business Analyst”
Object – “AME Transaction Types” (same Object)
11) Assigning Roles to Users
User Management -> Users link
Enter User Name in the “User Name” field and click “Go” button
12) Verify correct User is returned from Search, and click the “Update” pencil icon for that user
13) Click the “Assign Roles” button
14) Enter “Approval%” as search criteria for Roles and click “Go” button. Approvals Management Roles will be returned All Roles have been assigned to this user for implementation purposes in this example, even though not all roles are required.
15) Enter a “Justification” (required) and review / update “Active From” date for each Role that was assigned, and click the “Apply” button.
Repeat steps 12 through 16 for each User to be assigned access to Approvals Management.
Steps to set up an AME
The different components of AME are as follows:
– Transaction Types: Describes the type of transaction for which business cases (rules) and approval routings will be based. Transaction types can be:
• Seeded Transaction Types-Transaction types for common transactions that occur in Oracle Applications Modules. For ex: Payables Invoice Approval, Internal Requisition Approval etc.
• Custom Transaction Types-New transaction types created in order to integrate custom applications with AME
– Attributes: Business variables that represent the value of a data element of a given transaction
– Conditions: Used to evaluate the value of attributes in a particular transaction
– Actions: Describe the nature of what should be done in AME if a particular condition and rule is satisfied by a transaction.
– Action Types: Action types are groupings of actions that have a similar functionality
– Rules: the component that is evaluated to determine the approval path the transaction Needs to follow when submitted for Approval
User need to set up all these components in order to set up an AME.
1) Login oracle Application with User having AME admin rights
2) Select “Approval management Administrator” Responsibility – “Administrator dashboard” Function from the Menu
4) Create Attribute (Business variables that represent the value of a data element of a given transaction).
Press CREATE button for creating Attributes.
Select the Appropriate Expression as per the requirement and press Apply button

username/password[@connect_string]. Ifconnect_string is omitted, it is taken in
a platform-specific manner from the environmentusing the name TWO_TASK.< 0 Y
>: Concurrent program flags.<mode>: UPLOAD or DOWNLOAD. UPLOAD causes
the datafile to be uploaded to the database. DOWNLOAD causes the loader to
fetch rows and write them to the datafile.<configfile>: The configuration
file to use (usually with a suffix of .lct, but not enforced or supplied by the
loader).<datafile>: The data file to write (usually with a suffix of
.ldt, but not enforced or supplied by the loader). If the data file already
exists, it will be overwritten.<entity>: The entity(ies) to upload or
download. When uploading, always upload all entities, so specify a
"-" to upload all entities.< [param] >: Zero or more additional
parameters are used to provide bind values in the access SQL (both UPLOAD and
DOWNLOAD). Each parameter is in the form NAME=VALUE. NAME should not conflict
with an attribute name for the entities being loaded. Note: Objects enclosed in
[ ] are optional and may be used for more precise download or upload.Some

Capturing custom LOG messages for your Program UnitsHere
is the best practice to capture you custom log messages from your custom
Program Units (Interfaces, Reports
etc.). This helps to debug your code when the issue comes
*************************************************************
1. Create a profile with default value 'N'2. Put debug statement in the
program units based on profile value
IF fnd_profile.value('Custom Profile') = 'Y' THEN FND_FILE.PUT_LINE(FND_FILE.LOG,'Debug
Level 1');==> Pl/Sql Program units (Interface etc.) SRW.MESSAGE(1,'Debug Level 1')==>
For Reports END IF;3. When you want to
debug, Run the program by setting the profile value 'Y' *************************************************************
Query to find the Request Group of a Concurrent Program-
Run the following query to find the Request Group of a Concurrent Program.-
Provide Concurrent Program executable name for the following query
*************************************************************
SELECT fa.application_short_name,
frg.request_group_name,
fe.execution_file_name,
fe.executable_name FROM
fnd_request_group_units frgu,
fnd_concurrent_programs fcp,
fnd_request_groups frg,
fnd_executables fe,
fnd_application fa WHERE
frgu.request_unit_id = fcp.concurrent_program_id AND frgu.request_group_id =
frg.request_group_id AND
fe.executable_id = fcp.executable_id
AND FRG.application_id = fa.application_id AND fe.executable_name =
'&CP_EXEC_NAME'; Note:A Concurrent Program can be attached to a multiple
Request Groups. So, if the query returns more than one row do NOT get confused
*************************************************************
Query to find all Responsibilities added to a User -
Oracle AppsProvide User Name to the following query. It will show all the
responsibilities added to that user
*************************************************************
SELECT fu.user_name, fr.responsibility_name, furg.start_date, furg.end_date FROM fnd_user_resp_groups_direct furg, fnd_user fu, fnd_responsibility_tl fr WHERE
upper(fu.user_name) = upper('&user_name') AND furg.user_id = fu.user_id AND furg.responsibility_id =

Oracle Discoverer EUL Tables & DescriptionEUL Tables
Information
*************************************************************
EUL4_BASTable gives list of Business AreasEUL4_OBJSTable gives all folders
in the EULEUL4_KEY_CONSTable gives all Folder Joins details.- Key_Obj_ID points
to parent folder,- FK_Obj_ID_Remote points to child folderEUL4_EXPRESSIONSTable
gives all Items that are in the EUL- IT_Obj_ID is not null AND join to a row in
EUL4_Objs you have a Folder Item.They are listed as Exp_Type of 'CO' or
'CI'.COs are database object items.CIs are created items (like date hierarchy
items, complex folder items, etc).EUL4_OBJSTable gives details about the types
of objects- Obj_Type tells you Standard (SOBJ) from Complex (COBJ)
folders.EUL_USERSTable gives user details.EUL4_ACCESS_PRIVSTable to use to get
the list of Discoverer users that was granted access to the User
Edition.Basically, when a user has been granted privileges one row per
privilege is inserted into this table. - The column called AP_EU_ID contains
the ID of the user.- The column GP_APP_ID is the one that tells you what
privilege a user has
*************************************************************
Query to find all Oracle Discoverer Reports/WorkbooksRun
the following sequence of queries in APPS schema to find all Discoverer
Reports/Workbooks that exist in the system
*************************************************************
Query1:
Run the following query to know the name of tableSELECT
owner,table_name FROM all_tables WHERE
owner = 'EUL4_US' AND table_name LIKE
'%DOCUMENT%';Generally the above query returns table_name as 'EUL4_DOCUMENTS'
Meaning, all the discoverer report/Workbook names are stored in this tableQuery
2: Run the following query to see all reportsSELECT DOC_ID, DOC_NAME, DOC_DEVELOPER_KEY, DOC_CREATED_BY FROM EUL4_US.EUL4_DOCUMENTS;Note:If the First
Query is not returning any data then try the following query and manually find
the table name. SELECT
owner,table_name FROM all_tables WHERE table_name LIKE '%EUL%DOCUMENT%';
You have to modify the 2nd query in this case with the new OWNER.TABLE_NAME
