PL/SQL Script to Create an Executable from backend

Executable_from_Application

We need to use FND_PROGRAM.EXECUTABLE api to create an executable from backend database, below is the sample script.

Creating the Executable from backed:

View from front end application:

Executable_from_Application

  1. The above script inserts data into FND_EXECUTABLES and FND_EXECUTABLES_TL tables
  2. Execute the below query to find out different Execution Methods
     SELECT MEANING "Execution_Method"
       FROM fnd_lookup_values
      WHERE lookup_type = 'CP_EXECUTION_METHOD_CODE'
    AND enabled_flag    = 'Y';
