GOAL
Once I create a custom layout in WebADI, how do I add it so that it displays under Expenditure
Entry Using Microsoft Excel?
SOLUTION
Here are the steps to do this:
1. Create the custom layout.
2. Basically, you will need to assign the custom layout to a desired menu, so the first step is to
create and attach a function:
a) From System Admin responsibility - (N) Application/ Function.
b) Query Function PA_BNE% to get the seeded functions to use as examples to create the
custom function:
In particular, the Form tab - Parameters:
bne:page=BneCreateDoc&bne:viewer=BNE:EXCEL
%25&bne:reporting=N&bne:integrator=PA:PAXTTRXB&bne:layout=PA:TRANS_IMP_UNCO
STED_NON_LABOR&bne:content=PA:NONE2
The custom function should look something like this:
ne:page=BneCreateDoc&bne:viewer=BNE:EXCEL
%25&bne:reporting=N&bne:integrator=PA:PAXTTRXB&bne:layout=PA:MYCUSTOMLAYO
UT&bne:content=PA:NONE2
c) Once the custom function is created:
From System Admin responsibility - (N)Security/Responsibility/Define
Query the SSWA responsibility where you want to display the layout i.e. 'Projects Super User'
Note the Menu = Project Super User Responsibility Main Menu
d) From System Admin responsibility - (N) Application/Menu
Query User Menu Name - 'Project Super User Responsibility Main Menu'
Scroll down and see sub menu - 'Expenditure Entry Using Microsoft Excel'
Query User Menu Name - 'Expenditure Entry Using Microsoft Excel'
This is where you will assign the custom layout to be included in the menu.
e) Create a new line with Prompt and attach the function you created.

3. The custom layout should now appear under Expenditure Entry Using Microsoft Excel.
Security settings

A. Settings for Digitally Signed Spreadsheets:

If you want to use digital signatures in Oracle Web ADI, set the 'BNE Enable
Digital Signature profile option' to Yes. When this option is set, WebADI
affixes a digital signature to the spreadsheets you create.
B. Macro security level in Microsoft Excel that requires digital signatures:
For example:
For Microsoft Excel 2007:
-- Choose the Microsoft Office button, and then choose Excel Options. In the
Trust Center category, choose Trust Center Settings, and then the Macro
Settings category.
-- Select the Disable all macros except digitally signed macros option.
Note : If you do not enable the profile ('BNE Enable Digital Signature profile
option' ), Select the Disable all macros with notification option.
-- Select the Trust access to the VBA project object model option.
C. Microsoft Internet Explorer Settings :
-- From the Tools menu, select Internet Options and then select the Security
tab.
-- Select the zone in which you are working, such as Trusted Sites, and select
the Custom level button.
-- In the Downloads settings, select Enable for the File download option.
Additionally, if you use Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 or 8, select the following
scripting setting so that Oracle Web Applications Desktop Integrator can
complete the spreadsheet creation process.
-- From the Tools menu, select Internet Options and then select the Security
tab.
-- Select the zone in which you are working, such as Trusted Sites, and select
the Custom level button.
--In the Scripting settings, select Enable for the Allow status bar updates via
script option.

Note: System administrators can save the shortcut to a form function, and
attach the form function to a user's menu.
Create Document >Create your spreadsheet.
Working with Spreadsheets

A. Regions in the spreadsheet : You can toggle on and off of each region in
the spreadsheet namely - View Context , View header and View line
Note: In Microsoft Excel 2007, the Oracle menu is available from the Add-Ins
tab.
Note: If you create a digitally signed spreadsheet, it is recommended to work
without saving in order to preserve the signature.
B. Filtering on the line items : Oracle Web ADI enables you to turn on
Microsoft Excel filtering on the line items. This is useful when your
spreadsheet contains many rows of
data. To enable filters, from the Oracle menu select Filters, then Show Filters.
To turn filters off, from the Oracle menu select Filters, Hide Filters.
C. Multiple Worksheets : Your spreadsheet may contain multiple worksheets if
your product integrator is defined to generate multiple worksheets or if your
downloaded data exceeds 64,000
rows, multiple worksheets will be automatically created. If your spreadsheet
contains multiple worksheets, then at upload time you will be presented the
options of Upload or Upload All. Upload will upload only the current
worksheet. Upload All will upload all worksheets.
D .Adding Rows to a Spreadsheet : To add rows to an open spreadsheet
---Unprotect the spreadsheet: Select Tools, then Protection, then Unprotect
Sheet. Excel 2007 > Review -Unprotect Sheet
--Select a row in the lines section of the spreadsheet. Select Insert, then
Rows.
E. Uploading Data from Spreadsheets :
Choose Upload from the Oracle menu. The Upload Parameters window
appears. Select the desired parameters.
Note :Upload parameters depend on the integrator you select
All Rows : Select to upload all rows in your spreadsheet, regardless of
whether changes have been made.

Flagged Rows : Select to upload only those rows that are marked with a flag
character in the Upl column of your spreadsheet. WebADI displays a flag
character against a row that has changed.
F. Validate Before Upload :
Recommended. Validating prevents invalid data from being uploaded to
Oracle E-Business Suite. It is useful when you expect the import process to
be quite lengthy or when you plan to run it unattended, such as overnight.
G. Automatically Submit Import:
Select this option to automatically submit a processing request for the data
after upload.
This parameter is available when a post-processing procedure has been
setup for the integrator. A post-processing procedure may be a call to a
server-side procedure or a concurrent program to continue processing the
data in the E-Business Suite.
H. Start the upload process : After the upload process completes, the upload
window indicates whether or not the upload was successful.
I. Messages: WEBADI returns messages to the spreadsheet identifying all
rows containing invalid values. If the data in any rows are invalid, WEBADI
does not upload any of the data in the spreadsheet.
You must correct all errors to successfully upload the spreadsheet.
Any errors that occur during the upload of a multi-sheet workbook will also
be displayed in a Summary Worksheet. The Summary Worksheet enables you
to see all errors and link to them.
J. Monitoring Concurrent Requests :
Monitor concurrent requests from the spreadsheet If integrators starts a
concurrent program to import the data to Oracle E-Business Suite
To monitor concurrent requests from the spreadsheet, select the Oracle
menu, then Monitor. The Monitor Requests window displays the last 10
concurrent requests submitted by the current user.

How to Identify the code behind the LOVs in WEDADI layouts ?

LOVs on each field are same as the one used in the forms, for example
Projects LOV in forms also uses the PA_PROJECT_EXPEND_V also same in
WEBADI.
The information about the tables/views based on which the LOV is formed
can be obtained from the BNE_INTERFACE_COLS_B table which will be
populated by the pabneint.ldt.
In BNE_INTERFACE_COLS_B the following fields convey the information
regarding the LOV.
-- VAL_TYPE = 'TABLE' -- which means that validation and LOV is based on
table/view.
-- VAL_ID_COL -- column name from the table/view associated with the field.
-- VAL_MEAN_COL -- column which conveys extra user information about the
ID column.
-- VAL_DESC_COL -- column which contains the description of the ID column.
-- VAL_OBJ_NAME -- TABLE/VIEW which is being queried for values of this
field.
-- VAL_ADDL_W_C -- Additional WHERE clause.
Sample SQL > SELECT VAL_ID_COL, VAL_OBJ_NAME,VAL_ADDL_W_C FROM
BNE_INTERFACE_COLS_B
WHERE INTERFACE_CODE = 'TRANSACTION_INTERFACE'
AND INTERFACE_COL_NAME = 'NON_LABOR_RESOURCE_ORG_NAME';

Reference: Note 1077728.1

database schema is the skeleton structure that represents the logical view
of the entire database. It defines how the data is organized and how the
relations among them are associated. It formulates all the constraints that
are to be applied on the data.
A database schema defines its entities and the relationship among them. It
contains a descriptive detail of the database, which can be depicted by
means of schema diagrams. Its the database designers who design the
schema to help programmers understand the database and make it useful.

A database schema can be divided broadly into two categories

Physical Database Schema This schema pertains to the actual storage of

data and its form of storage like files, indices, etc. It defines how the data will be
stored in a secondary storage.

Logical Database Schema This schema defines all the logical constraints
that need to be applied on the data stored. It defines tables, views, and integrity
constraints.

Database Instance
It is important that we distinguish these two terms individually. Database
schema is the skeleton of database. It is designed when the database
doesn't exist at all. Once the database is operational, it is very difficult to
make any changes to it. A database schema does not contain any data or
information.

A database instance is a state of operational database with data at any

given time. It contains a snapshot of the database. Database instances tend
to change with time. A DBMS ensures that its every instance (state) is in a
valid state, by diligently following all the validations, constraints, and
conditions that the database designers have imposed.
