· Changing this value does not affect requests you have already submitted.

Concurrent:Sequential Requests

The internal name for this profile option is CONC_SINGLE_THREAD

· You can force your requests to run one at a time (sequentially) according to the requests’ start dates and times, or allow them to run concurrently,when their programs are compatible.

· Concurrent programs are incompatible if simultaneouslyaccessing the same database tables incorrectly affects the values each program retrieves.

· When concurrent programs are defined as incompatible with one another, they cannot run at the same time. “Yes” prevents your requests from running concurrently.

The Signon Password Hard to Guess profile option sets rules for choosing passwords to ensure that they will be ”hard to guess.” A password is considered hard–to–guess if it follows these rules:

· The password contains at least one letter and at least one number.

· The password does not contain the username.

· The password does not contain repeating characters.

Signon Password Length

The internal name for this profile option is SIGNON_PASSWORD_LENGTH

Signon Password Length sets the minimum length of an Applications signon password. If no value is entered the minimum length defaults to 5.

Signon Password No Reuse

The internal name for this profile option is SIGNON_PASSWORD_NO_REUSE

This profile option specifies the number of days that a user must wait before being allowed to reuse a password

Site Name

The internal name for this profile option is SITENAME

Site Name identifies an installation of Oracle Applications. The installation process sets this to ”No Site Name Specified”. You should set a value for ”Site Name” after installation. The Site Name appears in the title of the MDI window. If you want additional information on your installation to appear in the title, forexample, ”Test” or ”Production”, you can add that information here

Socket Listener Activated

The internal name for this profile option is SOCKET_LISTENER_ACTIVATED

This profile option is a flag that indicates whether the FormsClient Controller (Socket Listener) should be started by the signon form.

Socket Listener Port

The internal name for this profile option is SOCKET_LISTENER_PORT

This profile option defines the port number used by the Forms Client Controller. The default value for this profile option is ’6945’. Oracle Workflow uses this profile option. When a user chooses to launch a form from a Workflow notification, Oracle Workflow will look for the value of this profile option and launch the form in the specified port.

If the socket listener port is not set at user level, Oracle Workflow launches attached forms at the default port set for the site. However, if users have set different ports, Oracle Workflow launches the forms for each user at the specified port. By using different socket listener ports, two different users logged into Oracle Applications on the same machine can both launch attached forms at the same time without interference from each other.

The E–Business Suite Home page also uses the Socket Listener Port profile for launching forms from Framework HTML sessions. With this architecture, a user navigating through different forms/responsibilities in a Framework session will reuse the same Oracle Forms session instead of opening multiple ones. So a user will never have more than one Forms session open on his/her PC at any given time, for a given database.

It is possible to have multiple Oracle Forms sessions open where each is connected to a different database, but the Socket Listener Port profile must be set to a different value beforehand on each database. For example, set it to 6945 on database A, 6946 on database B, and 6947 on database C. This profile option must be set at the site level in advance of any users attempting to use this functionality, as it cannot be set on a per–user basis

Stored Procedure Log Directory

The internal name for this profile option is UTL_FILE_LOG

Specifying a log directory enables stored procedures used with the Oracle database to generate and store log files. You must also set this log directory in the init.ora file of the database.

Stored Procedure Output Directory

The internal name for this profile option is UTL_FILE_OUT.

Specifying a output directory enables stored procedures used with the Oracle database to generate and store output files. You must also set this output directory in the init.ora file of the database.

TCF: HOST

The internal name for this profile option is TCF:HOST

Together with the TCF:PORT profile, this profile identifies the network location of the TCF Server. The TCF Server supports various parts of the Oracle Applications UI by executing some of their associated server logic and providing access to the database. In most configurations, these profiles will be set by the TCF Server’s administrative utility ’ServerControl’ at the same time the TCF Server is started up. ServerControl will set these two profiles (TCF:HOST, TCF:PORT) at the site level. For particularly complex environments, it may be appropriate to direct different users to separate TCF Servers by setting these profiles to distinct values at the Application level. Consult the post installation instructions for details on TCF Server configuration options.

Two Task

The internal name for this profile option is TWO_TASK

TWO_TASK for the database. This profile is used in conjunction with the Gateway User ID profile to construct a connect string for use in creating dynamic URLs for the Web Server. This should be set to the SQL*NET. alias for the database.

Utilities: Diagnostics

The internal name for this profile option is DIAGNOSTICS

Utilities: Diagnostics determines whether a user can automatically use the Diagnostics features. If Utilities:Diagnostics is set to Yes, then users can automatically use these features. If Utilities:Diagnostics is set to No, then users must enter the password for the APPS schema to use the Diagnostics features.

Utilities:SQL Trace

SQL trace files can now be generated for individual concurrent programs. The trace can be enabled at the user level by setting the Profile Options in Oracle Application Object Library A – 49 profile ”Utilities:SQL Trace” to ”Yes”. This profile can be enabled for a user only by System Administrator so that it is not accidentally turned on and disk usage can be monitored.

Viewer: Application for HTML, PCL, PDF, Postscript, and Text

The internal names for these profile options are FS_MIME_HTML, FS_MIME_PCL, FS_MIME_PDF, FS_MIME_PS, and FS_MIME_TEXT.

These profile options determine the applications a user will use to view reports in the given output formats. For example, you could set Viewer: Application for Text to ’application/word’ to view a Text report in Microsoft Word.

Valid values are defined by the system administrator in the Viewer Options form.

Viewer:Default Font Size

The internal name for this profile option is FNDCPVWR_FONT_SIZE

Using this new profile option, you can set the default font size usedwhen you display report output in the Report Viewer. The valid values for this option are 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14.

Viewer: Text

The internal name for this profile option is EDITOR_CHAR

The Viewer: Text profile option allows you to send report output directly to a browser window rather than using the default Report Viewer. Enter ”Browser” in this profile option to enable this feature
