Difference between Bind and Lexical parameters?BIND VARIABLE :
are used to replace a single value in sql, pl/sql bind variable may be used to replace expressions in select, where, group, order by, having, connect by, start with cause of queries.
bind reference may not be referenced in FROM clause (or) in place of reserved words or clauses.
LEXICAL REFERENCE:
you can use lexical reference to replace the clauses appearing AFTER select,
from, group by, having, connect by, start with. you can’t make lexical reference in a pl/sql statmetns.
update clause:
1) use explicit locking to deny access for the duration of a transaction
2) lock the rows before update or delete
Ex : select …….
From…….
For update[ of column ref] [no_wait]where current of clause?
1) use cursor to update or delete the current row
Where current of <>
What is the package?
Group logically related pl/sql types, items and subprograms.
1. package specification
2. package bodyAdvantages of a package:A. Modularity
B. Easier Application Design
C.Information HidingOverloadingYou cannot overload:
•Two subprograms if their formal parameters differ only in name or parameter mode. (datatype and their
total number is same).
•Two subprograms if their formal parameters differ only in datatype and the different datatypes are in the
same family (number and decimal belong to the same family)
•Two subprograms if their formal parameters differ only in subtype and the different subtypes are based
on types in the same family (VARCHAR and STRING are subtypes of VARCHAR2)
•Two functions that differ only in return type, even if the types are in different families.
What are triggers?
triggers are similar to procedures, in that they are the named pl/sql blocks with declarative,executable and exception-handling sections, how ever a procedure is executed explicitly from another block via a procedure call, which can also pass arguments.
A trigger is executed implicitly when ever a particular event task places. And is nothing but a event.
The triggering event is a DML (insert, update, delete) operations on a data base table
fires whenever a data event(such as DML) or system event(such as login or shutdown) occurs on a schema or databaseTrigger timing :
1) before
2) after
3) instead of ( this is used for views)
events :
1) insert
2)update
3) deleteTrigger type :
1) statement level
2) row level.Firing sequence of database triggers
1. before statement trigger
2. before row trigger
3. after row trigger
4. after statement trigger
LOCKS?
Is to reduce concurrency1) share lock
it allows the other users for only reading not to insert2) exclusive lock
only one user can have the privileges of insert or
others can only read.3) update lock
multiple user can read, update deleteLock levels :1) table level 2) table space 3) data base level.
What are ad-hoc reports?
Ans.: Ad-hoc Report is made to meet one-time reporting needs. Concerned with or formed for a particular purpose. For example, ad hoc tax codes or an ad hoc database query
AOL features in OM
Order Management uses the following AOL features
Document Sequences - Order Entry used Order Number Sources for order
numbering. It let you define sequences that were used to automatically
number Orders and Returns. You assigned an Order Number source to an
Order Type.
Order Management uses the following AOL features
Document Sequences - Order Entry used Order Number Sources for order
numbering. It let you define sequences that were used to automatically
number Orders and Returns. You assigned an Order Number source to an
Order Type.
Order Management uses the AOL Document Sequences feature to meet
Order Numbering requirements. This lets you number Order and Returns
using Manual, Automatic or Gapless sequences.You can define Document Sequences using the AOL Define Document Sequences form. When you define an Order Transaction Type, the application automatically creates a Document Sequence Category of the same name. You can assign a pre-defined sequence to one or more Document Sequence Categories, using the AOL Sequence Assignments
form. When an Order is created, Order Management calls AOL Document
Sequence APIs to number the Order.
Attachments - In Order Entry you could define Notes and addition rules regarding when they were attached to an Order or Line. You had to manually choose to add the eligible Notes to the Order or Line. You could also define how the Notes were printed on various Reports. Database triggers were used to duplicate Note definition data in AOL.
Order Management drives off the AOL Attachment functionality enabling you to attach images and web pages (in addition to short or long text). It also offers multi-lingual Document capability. Attachment definition and usage data is stored only in AOL. Automatic Addition rule definitions are stored in Order Management (OE_ATTACHMENT_RULES,OE_ATTACHMENT_RULE_ELEMENTS).
In addition to the attributes
(Customer, Ship-to, Invoice-to, Order Type, Item, PO #) that were previously available, you can now define rules based on the Order Category,Line Category and Line Type.

What is Order Import and What are the Setup's involved in Order Import?
A) Order Import is an open interface that consists of open interface tables and a set of API’s. It imports New, updated, or changed sales orders from other applications such as Legacy systems. Order Import features include validations, Defaulting, Processing Constraints checks, Applying and releasing of order holds, scheduling of shipments, then ultimately inserting, updating or deleting orders from the OM base tables. Order management checks all the data during the import process to ensure its validity with OM. Valid Transactions are then converted into orders with lines, reservations ,price adjustments, and sales credits in the OM base tables.
B) Setups:
· Setup every aspect of order management that we want to use with imported orders, including customers, pricing, items, and bills.
· Define and enable the order import sources using the order import source window.

5)What are the Process Constraints?
A. Process Constraints prevent users from adding updating, deleting, splitting lines and canceling order or return information beyond certain points in the order cycle. Oracle has provided certain process constraints which prevent data integrity violations.
Process constraints are defined for entities and attributes. Entities include regions on the sales order window such as order, line, order price adjustments, line price adjustments, order sales credits and line sales credits. Attributes include individual fields (of a particular entity) such as warehouse, shit to location, or agreement.
6) What are different types of Holds?
1)GSA(General Services Administration) Violation Hold(Ensures that specific customers always get better pricing for example Govt. Customers)2)Credit Checking Hold( Used for credit checking feature Ex: Credit Limit)3)Configurator Validation Hold ( Cause: If we invalidate a configuration after booking)
7)What is Document Sequence?A) Document sequence is defined to automatically generate numbers for your orders or returns as you enter them. Single / multiple document sequences can be defined for different order types.
Document sequences can be defined as three types Automatic (Does not ensure that the numbers are contiguous), Gapless (Ensures that the numbering is contiguous), Manual Numbering. Order Management validates that the number specified is unique for order type.
8) What are Defaulting Rules?
A) A defaulting rule is a value that OM automatically places in an order field of the sales order window. Defaulting rules reduce the amount of information one must enter. A defaulting rule is a collection of defaulting sources for objects and their attributes.
It involves the following steps
· Defaulting Conditions - Conditions for Defaulting
· Sequence – Priority for search
· Source – Entity ,Attribute, Value
· Defaulting source/Value10. When an order cannot be cancelled?
A) An order cannot be cancelled if,
· It has been closed
· It has already been cancelled

13. What are primary and secondary price lists?
A) Every order is associated to a price list as each item on the order ought to have a price. A price list is contains basic list information and one or more pricing lines, pricing attributes, qualifiers, and secondary price lists. The price list that is primarily associated to an order is termed as Primary price list.
The pricing engine uses a Secondary Price list if it cannot determine the price of the item ordered in the Primary price list.14. What is pick slip? Types?
A) It is an internal shipping document that pickers use to locate items to ship for an order.
· Standard Pick Slip – Each order will have its own pick slip with in each picking batch.
· Consolidated Pickslip – Pick slip will have all the orders released in the each picking batch.15. What is packing slip?
A) It is an external shipping document that accompanies the shipment itemizing the contents of the shipment.16. What are picking rules?
A) Picking rules define the sources and prioritization of sub inventories, lots, revisions and locators when the item is pick released by order management. They are user defined set of rules to define the priorities order management must use when picking items from finished goods inventory to ship to a customer.
17. Where do you find the order status column?
A) In the base tables, Order Status is maintained both at the header and line level. The field that maintains the Order status is FLOW_STATUS_CODE. This field is available in both the OE_ORDER_HEADERS_ALL and OE_ORDER_LINES_ALL.18. When the order import program is run it validates and the errors occurred can be seen in?A) Responsibility: Order Management Super UserNavigation: Order, Returns > Import Orders > Corrections
