Profile Options Oracle Apps R12

Use of the API FND_PROFILE
It is used to perform various actions related to profile values through PL/SQL. Some of the important ones are listed below

1. FND_PROFILE.GET(‘Name of the Profile’, variable name);
Example
SELECT fnd_profile.value('PROFILEOPTION')
      ,fnd_profile.value('MFG_ORGANIZATION_ID')
      ,fnd_profile.value('ORG_ID')
      ,fnd_profile.value('LOGIN_ID')
      ,fnd_profile.value('USER_ID')
      ,fnd_profile.value('USERNAME')
      ,fnd_profile.value('CONCURRENT_REQUEST_ID')
      ,fnd_profile.value('GL_SET_OF_BKS_ID')
      ,fnd_profile.value('SO_ORGANIZATION_ID')
      ,fnd_profile.value('APPL_SHRT_NAME')
      ,fnd_profile.value('RESP_NAME')
      ,fnd_profile.value('RESP_ID')
  FROM DUAL;


2. variable name := FND_PROFILE.VALUE(‘Name of the profile’);
3. FND_PROFILE.PUT(‘Name of the profile’, value of the profile);

Example
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON;
DECLARE
   v_conc_login_id      NUMBER;
BEGIN
   FND_PROFILE.put ('CONC_LOGIN_ID',1425);
   fnd_profile.get ('CONC_LOGIN_ID', v_conc_login_id);
   DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line (v_conc_login_id);
END;
Output:
1425
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed

The 1st and 2nd are same but, the only difference is FND_PROFILE.GET is the procedure and FND_PROFILE.VALUE is the function so, it return a value. 

Apart from the above procedures we have another important one named FND_PROFILE .SAVE used to set the profile values from backend. A detail regarding this API is available in another article.





Changing Profile options from Backend

The table fnd_profile_options_tl, profile options names are kept.  Now find the corresponding the Profile option name for which you need to update from backend. For this example I took my favorite “ORG_ID”
SELECT profile_option_name
  FROM fnd_profile_options_tl
 WHERE user_profile_option_name LIKE 'MO%'

It returns more than one row but i can make out that "ORG_ID" is the PROFILE_OPTION_NAME for MO: Operating Unit. Now I need to know the Org_ID of the Org whose value is to be set in MO: Operating Unit. SO I use the simple select as below
SELECT organization_id, NAME
  FROM hr_all_organization_units;

From the organization name I find the one which will be the default Operating Unit, and I note the ID. In my case the ID for my default Operating Unit is 286. Now with the code below I set the profile option value using fnd_profile.save.
DECLARE
   stat   BOOLEAN;
BEGIN
   DBMS_OUTPUT.DISABLE;
   DBMS_OUTPUT.ENABLE (100000);
   stat := fnd_profile.SAVE ('ORG_ID', 286, 'SITE');
   IF stat
   THEN
      DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line ('Stat = TRUE - profile updated');
   ELSE
      DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line ('Stat = FALSE - profile NOT updated');
   END IF;
   COMMIT;
END;
