Using $PROFILES$ in Value Sets in Oracle: Saturday, December 01, 2012

Using $PROFILES$ in Value sets in Oracle allows limiting results to values associated with dynamic variables like person_id that are pre-loaded when a form is opened. For example, an employee's date of birth can be shown in a form field based on the person id loaded in $PROFILES$, similar to a table validated value set but with the WHERE clause modified to check for a match to the profile variable. The process involves creating a value set and editing the information to include a condition that the person_id equals the value passed in $PROFILES$.PER_PERSON_ID.

Using $PROFILES$ in Value sets in Oracle

6 commentsSATURDAY, DECEMBER 01, 2012

When we open a form, some values are pre-loaded in some dynamic variables like Person_id ,
organization_id, user_id etc.

We can use these values to limit the results.

Let me show you an example...its an easy one.

I will show employee date of birth in a form filed based on its Person id loaded in $PROFILES$.Value

It is same like creating a Table Validated value with a little change in WHERE CLAUSE

See: How to create Table Validated Value set

Lets create a value set.

Press "Edit Information"

WHERE SYSDATE BETWEEN EFFECTIVE_START_DATE AND EFFECTIVE_END_DATE


AND PERSON_ID = :$PROFILES$.PER_PERSON_ID ( Automatically passed)

After i attached the value set to a field, Here is the result.
