Tutorials Oracle Apps
Oracle Applications and custom applications that integrate with Oracle Applications rely on having their components arranged in a predictable structure. This includes particular directory structures where you place reports, forms, programs and other objects, as well as environment variables and application names that allow Oracle Application Object Library to find your application components.
An application, such as Oracle General Ledger or Oracle Inventory, is a functional grouping of forms, programs, menus, libraries, reports, and other objects. Custom applications group together site–specific components such as custom menus, forms, or concurrent programs.
When oracle applications are installed, a directory with instance name would be created. All the snapshots are taken with instance name as ‘PROD’. Oracle application will have the parent directory as ‘apps’ and then a directory with name prod. Under that there would be five directories namely prodcomn, proddata, proddb, prodora,prodappl.
Figure1-Applications Directory Structure
Prodappl directory contains one directory for each application within oracle applications. The screen shot above shows the directory structure starting from ‘apps’ directory.
Each application directory will have directories shown in following screen shot.

1. Define an environment variable that translates to your application’ basepath.
e.g If we are defining new application with base path as IDC_TOP and short name as IDC_DEV then there should be an entry in env file as IDC_TOP=/apps/prod/prodappl/IDC_DEV
2. Set up a directory structure for your application.
We need to create the standard subdirectories to be used by forms, reports and sql files under each application directory.
e.g. under IDC_DEV directory we need to have following subdirectories.
Figure3 IDC_TOP Directory structure
Following directories should exist under admin directory.

| Excellent Article |
| U HAVE DONE A EXCELLENT WORK. |
| Very Helpful for selflearning :) |
| it is very helpfull. Thank u all for this site |
| Can you give me some articles about using manual user_exit on forms??? |

BASEPATH is used by Oracle Application to determine the location of the base directory in the OS which correspond to the application. eg. Application: Receivables BASEPATH: AR_TOP This tells the application to consider AR_TOP for referring all the objects related to Receivables. |

hi, i have a big confusion on how this Application Navigator Portlet is built, with the responsibilities, menus, etc. ill be please if someone could on this, the above article is alos good..... |
| what is the path of env file in linux to setup basepath when registering a custom application. |
| gives simple idea on oracle apps |
| Great! thnx for ur information. |
