------------
If I stopped the concurrent manager, then where and how I can see that concurrent manager is stoped or not??
Answers:
--------
I think We can also check the status of that service of that particular concurrent manager(OracleConcMgr)
there u will find the Status as Stopped.
Actually u may not have access for the services (these services will be running in the server) only DBA can access those services
this job can be done by DBA`s
As a DBA the status of concurrent manager can be seen by giving the following line in the commandline
ps -ef|grep FNDLIBR
when u perform this,
if u see a single line as output the status of concurrent manager is stop
if u see a more than one line as output the status of concurrent manager is running
&
AFCONSTAT.SQL BY RUNNING THIS SCRIPT ALSO WHICH IS IN AD_TOP/SQL WE CAN KNOW THE STATUS

How to register tables and columns in AOL?
Answers:
--------
To register the table and columns in AOL the navigation is:
Open Appliaction Developer---> Appliaction--->Database--->table.(In table mention the table name(which you want to register), user table name,columns,user column name).
The table & columns which you are going to register should be present in your module specific schema.
No Sandeep we cant register a table or its column like that. the window you hav mentioned doesnt allow us to enter nething. we can just see all the registered tables and their columns here.
one way which i know to register a table and their columns is thru backend .
eg.SQL> EXEC AD_DD.REGISTER_TABLE (?SQLGL?, ?EXAM?,?T?)
where SQLGL is aplication short name and EXAM is the table name and T stands for Transaction Data
SQL> EXEC AD_DD.REGISTER_COLUMN (?SQLGL?, ?EXAM?,?SNO?, 1, ?NUMBER?, 5, ?N?, ?Y?);
?EXAM? ? Table Name
?SNO? ? Column Name
1- Sequence one or column one
?NUMBER?- Number Data type
5-Size
?N? ? Null able
?Y? ? Translate (Y/N)
46.Question :

What are User Exits ?
Answers:
--------
A user exit is a C subroutine written by you and called by Oracle Forms to do special-purpose processing. You can embed SQL statements and PL/SQL blocks in your user exit, then precompile it as you would a host program.
When called by an Oracle Forms V3 trigger, the user exit runs, then returns a status code to Oracle Forms. Your exit can display messages on the Oracle Forms status line, get and set field values, do high-speed computations and table lookups, and manipulate Oracle data.
To incorporate a user exit into a form, you take the following steps:
Write the user exit in Pro*C.
Precompile the source code.
Compile the. c file from step 2.
Use the GENXTB utility to create a database table, IAPXTB.
Use the GENXTB form in SQL*Forms to insert your user exit information into the table.
Use the GENXTB utility to read the information from the table and create an IAPXIT source code module. Then compile the source code module.
Create a new SQL*Forms executable by linking the standard SQL*Forms modules, your user exit object, and the IAPXIT object created in step 6.
In the form, define a trigger to call the user exit
Instruct operators to use the new IAP when running the form. This is unnecessary if the new IAP replaces the standard one.
user exists a program that is written and linked report builder
it's 5 types
1.before parameter
2.after parameter
3 before report trigger
4.after report trigger
5.between pages
&
User Exit :
-----------
User_Exit is a facility given in reports, to transfer the execution of report from report builder to the 3GL.
1.SRW.USER_EXIT('FND SRWINIT');
It will capture profile values of the user when the report is executed from SRS window.
FND SRWINIt User_Exit will be called from Before Report Trigger.
2. SRW.User_Exit('FND SRWEXIT');
It will be called from After Report Trigger which frees the memory occupied by the parameters of the report.
Below User_Exit are used to capture the data which stored in segments of the tables. one user exit is used to capture the segment data and another is used to populate the data.
3. SRW.User_Exit('FND FLEXSQL
CODE = " "
NUM = " "
Appl_Short_Name=" "
Output=" "
Mode= " "
Display = " "');
Used for the Key Flex Fields and stored in the Before Report Trigger.
4. SRW.User_Exit('FND FLEXIDVAL
CODE = " "
NUM = " "
Appl_Short_Name=" "
DATA=" "
Value= " "
Mode= " "
Display = " "');
is used for the Key flex fields this user_exit is written in the Formula column.

What are the diiferent types of Value sets and expalin them briefly which value set will use when?
Answers:
--------
There r six diffrent types of Value sets available in Oracle Apps.
1)Independent.
2)Dependent.
3)Table.
4)Special.
5)Pair.
6)None.
There are eight(8) diffrent types of Value sets available in Oracle Apps.
1)Independent value set : If user set of values need to be populated to a perticular parameter then we can use Independent value set.
2)Dependent value set : It always dependent upon independent value set only.
3)Table value set : It will get the values from the database objects (such as table or view).
4)Special value set : It is used for Flex Fields.
5)Pair value set : To give maximum value and minimum value to the value set.
6)None Value set: If parameter value has to enter by end user.
7)Translated Independent value Set : It translate values into different languages for an independent value set.
8)Translated Dependent Value Set : It Translate values into different languages for an dependent value set.
64.Question :
-------------
Can Any body explain me how to use the following user_exits in apps reports which have flex fields as display/query columns.
FND FLEXSQL
FND FLEXIDVAL
Answers:
--------
FND FLEXSQL - This user exits allows you to use Flex fields in Reports
Call this user exit to create a SQL fragment usable by your report to tailor your SELECT
statement that retrieves flexfield values. This fragment allows you to SELECT flexfield
values or to create a WHERE, ORDER BY, GROUP BY, or HAVING clause to limit or
sort the flexfield values returned by your SELECT statement. You call this user exit once
for each fragment you need for your select statement. You define all flexfield columns in
your report as type CHARACTER even though your table may use NUMBER or DATE or
some other datatype.
Syntax:
FND FLEXSQL
CODE=? flexfield code?
APPL_SHORT_NAME=? application short name?
OUTPUT=?: output lexical parameter name?
MODE=?{ SELECT | WHERE | HAVING | ORDER BY}?
[DISPLAY=?{ALL | flexfield qualifier | segment number}?]
[SHOWDEPSEG=?{Y | N}?]
[NUM=?: structure defining lexical? |
MULTINUM=?{Y | N}?]
[TABLEALIAS=? code combination table alias?]
[OPERATOR=?{ = | < | > | <= | >= | != | ?||?|
BETWEEN | QBE}?]
[OPERAND1=?: input parameter or value?]
[OPERAND2=?: input parameter or value?]
e.g-
SRW.USER_EXIT('FND FLEXSQL CODE="MSTK" NUM=":P_STRUCT_NUM" DISPLAY="ALL"
APPL_SHORT_NAME="INV" OUTPUT=":P_ITEM_FLEXDATA" MODE="SELECT" TABLEALIAS="msi"');
FND FLEXIDVAL - This user exits allows you to use Flex fields in Reports
Call this user exit to populate fields for display. You pass the key flexfields data retrieved
by the query into this exit from the formula column. With this exit you display values,
descriptions and prompts by passing appropriate token (any one of VALUE,
DESCRIPTION, APROMPT or LPROMPT).
Syntax:
FND FLEXIDVAL
CODE=? flexfield code?
APPL_SHORT_NAME=? application short name?
DATA=?: source column name?
[NUM=?: structure defining source column/lexical?]
[DISPLAY=?{ALL| flexfield qualifier| segment number}?]
[IDISPLAY=?{ALL| flexfield qualifier| segmentnumber}?]
[SHOWDEPSEG=?{Y | N}?]
[VALUE=?: output column name?]
[DESCRIPTION=?: output column name?]
[APROMPT=?: output column name?]
[LPROMPT=?: output column name?]
[PADDED_VALUE=?: output column name?]
[SECURITY=?: column name?]
These two user exits are used for the Key Flex field reporting. Where you have to capture and print the date which stored in the segments of the table.
FND FLEXSQL is used to capture the data from segments.
FND FLEXIDVAL is used to populate the captured segment values.
If you want to use these user exits then we have follow below steps :
1. Create 3 Variables
Name DataType Initial value
P_CONC_REQUEST_ID Number(20) --
P_Struct_Num Number(20) --
P_Flex_Data Char(6000) (Segment1||' '||Segment2......||Segmentn)
2. In Before Report Trigger
SRW.Reference(:P_Struct_Num);
SRW.User_Exit('FND SRWINIT');
SRW.User_Exit('FND FLEXSQL
CODE="GL#"
NUM=":P_Struct_Num"
Appl_short_Name="SQLGL"
Output=":P_Flex_Data"
Mode = "Select"
Display ="All"');
compile and close.
3. In After Report Trigger
SRW.USER_EXIT('FND SRWEXIT');
compile and close.
4. Go to Data Model in Report Builder
selet Last_update_date,&P_Flex_Data C_Flexdata from gl_code_combinations
where chart_of_accounts_id=:P_Struct_Num
5. got to Data model create layout using wizard.
6. Create a formula column with CF_Data datatype char(6000)
In that formula column
SRW.REFERENCE(:P_Struct_Num);
SRW.REFERENCE(:C_Flexdata);
SRW.USER_EXIT('FND FLEXIDVAL
CODE="GL#"
NUM=":P_Struct_Num"
Appl_short_Name="SQLGL"
Date=":C_Flexdata"
Value = ":CF_Data"
Mode = "Select"
Display ="All"');
return (:CF_Data);
compile and close.
7. Register the report in the applications and run it.

-------------
I am new to this forum and also to Oracle HRMS. I have 5 questions:
a. Can someone please tell me what is the date tracked option and how to use it?
b. Can I delete an employee from a table?
c. What is the difference between APIs and DataPumps?
d. What are user hooks?
e. Can we see the time stamp also with the "from" and "to" dates?
Would appreciate quick answers!!!
Answers:
--------
1. DateTrack adds the dimension of time to an application?s database.
The value of a DateTracked record depends on the date from which
you are viewing the data. For example, querying an employee?s annual
salary with an effective date of 12?JUL?1992 might give a different
value than a query with an effective date of 01?DEC?1992. However,
the application and the user see the employee?s pay as a single record.
For more information to how to use it look at this document available in Oracle web site
Implementing Oracle HRMS (US)
1) Date Track option in oracle Hrms used to see the history of the employee and also set the future dated tasks to the employees in the system.
date track tables are always ends with _f and columns of date track are effective_start_date and effective_end_date
2)No you cannot delete an employee from the system once the payroll has been run for the employee
3)Api are mostly used for the designing the interfaces for data migration
Data pump:-
4)User Hooks are used for the validations. with the user hooks u can do validation on the Jsp page as well as the Form.

Please tell me the difference between Conversions and Interfaces.
Answers:
--------
Conversion is to bring the data from other (non-OraApps) system to Oracle-Application system. This is one time activity (bring account details, transactions, orders, receipts and so on). So conversion itself is a project.
Interfaces are Concurrent PRograms/Program sets (pl/sql, pro*C, unix scripts, executables) . Interfaces are basically of two types (Oracle supplied (vanila programs eg:Autoinvoice in AR) and created by developer).
Hope this clarifies the concepts.
CONVERSION :-
IT IS A PROGRAM
->IT IS ONE TIME DATA TRANSFER
->WE WILL BE KNOWING THE VOLUME OF THE FLAT FILE
->NO NEED KNOW ALL EXCEPTIONS
->THIS IS USED IN UPGRADING,MIGRATION PROJECTS
INTERFACE:-
IT IS A PROGRAM TO TRANSFER THE DATA FROM ONE LOCATION TO ANOTHER
LOCATION
->IT IS SCHEDULED CONCURRENT PROCESS TO EXECUTED MULTIPLE TIMES
->WE WILL NOT BE KNOWING FLAT FILE VOLUME
->WE NEED TO HANDLE ALL EXPECTED EXCEPTIONS
->USED IN ENCHANCEMENT,CUSTOMIZATION PROJECTS

I want to know what is the column link between OM and AR and also the link between AR and GL?
Answers:
--------
Column link between OM and AR, You have customer_id in AR table and
sales_to_org_id in OM.using these mentioned columns we can link.
the order_number in oe_headers_iface_all is to be linked with interface_header_attribute1 in ra_customer_trx_all from here link customer_trx_line_id to customer_trx_line_id in ra_customer_trx_lines_all
&
There is no column in the OM(OE_ORDER_HEADERS_ALL) and Interface table also. I hope that is SOLD_TO_ORG_ID instead of SALES_TO_ORG_ID.
&
link between OM and AR
order_number in OE_ORDER_HEADERS_ALL
and
interface_header_attribute1 in RA_CUSTOMER_TRX_ALL
link between AR and GL
trx_number in RA_CUSTOMER_TRX_ALL
and
reference2 in GL_JE_LINES
&
link between oe_order_headers_all and ra_customer_transactions_all
&
The links between OM and AR are
(1) OM(so_headers_all(customer_id))=AR(ra_customers(customer_id))
The link between GL and AR
(2)GL(gl_code_combinations(code_combination_id))=AR(ra_cust_trx_line_gl_dist_all(code_combination_id))

What is Data Migration and what is Conversion?
Whats the difference between both.
Answers:
--------
Data Migration is upgrading from one version to another version fro e.g. from 11.5.9 to 11.5.10.. Data Conversion is receiving data from a legacy system or receiving data from another module ( e.g. PA), validating it and converting it to ur our the target module using the standard import program.
Migration Means Upgrading the data from lower version to Higher version like 10.7 to 11i.
Integration Means Passing the Data from Higher Versionof oracle database to lowerversion of oracle database like 10g(Application R12 or 11i) database to 8i Database(Application 10.7).
Implementation Means we are introducing first time oracle database in client system.
Generally implementation projects we are using conversions.
&
Migration:Changing from legacy system into Oracle apps
Conversion:Converting the format from Oracle 11.5.9 to Oracle 11.5.10
&
Data Migration is upgrade the data old version to new version. like 11.5.0 to 12.01.1
and conversion is transfer the data from one instance to another instance

If I stopped the concurrent manager, then where and how I can see that concurrent manager is stoped or not??
Answers:
--------
I think We can also check the status of that service of that particular concurrent manager(OracleConcMgr)
there u will find the Status as Stopped.
Actually u may not have access for the services (these services will be running in the server) only DBA can access those services
this job can be done by DBA`s
As a DBA the status of concurrent manager can be seen by giving the following line in the commandline
ps -ef|grep FNDLIBR
when u perform this,
if u see a single line as output the status of concurrent manager is stop
if u see a more than one line as output the status of concurrent manager is running
&
AFCONSTAT.SQL BY RUNNING THIS SCRIPT ALSO WHICH IS IN AD_TOP/SQL WE CAN KNOW THE STATUS

How to register tables and columns in AOL?
Answers:
--------
To register the table and columns in AOL the navigation is:
Open Appliaction Developer---> Appliaction--->Database--->table.(In table mention the table name(which you want to register), user table name,columns,user column name).
The table & columns which you are going to register should be present in your module specific schema.
No Sandeep we cant register a table or its column like that. the window you hav mentioned doesnt allow us to enter nething. we can just see all the registered tables and their columns here.
one way which i know to register a table and their columns is thru backend .
eg.SQL> EXEC AD_DD.REGISTER_TABLE (?SQLGL?, ?EXAM?,?T?)
where SQLGL is aplication short name and EXAM is the table name and T stands for Transaction Data
SQL> EXEC AD_DD.REGISTER_COLUMN (?SQLGL?, ?EXAM?,?SNO?, 1, ?NUMBER?, 5, ?N?, ?Y?);
?EXAM? ? Table Name
?SNO? ? Column Name
1- Sequence one or column one
?NUMBER?- Number Data type
5-Size
?N? ? Null able
?Y? ? Translate (Y/N)

What are User Exits ?
Answers:
--------
A user exit is a C subroutine written by you and called by Oracle Forms to do special-purpose processing. You can embed SQL statements and PL/SQL blocks in your user exit, then precompile it as you would a host program.
When called by an Oracle Forms V3 trigger, the user exit runs, then returns a status code to Oracle Forms. Your exit can display messages on the Oracle Forms status line, get and set field values, do high-speed computations and table lookups, and manipulate Oracle data.
To incorporate a user exit into a form, you take the following steps:
Write the user exit in Pro*C.
Precompile the source code.
Compile the. c file from step 2.
Use the GENXTB utility to create a database table, IAPXTB.
Use the GENXTB form in SQL*Forms to insert your user exit information into the table.
Use the GENXTB utility to read the information from the table and create an IAPXIT source code module. Then compile the source code module.
Create a new SQL*Forms executable by linking the standard SQL*Forms modules, your user exit object, and the IAPXIT object created in step 6.
In the form, define a trigger to call the user exit
Instruct operators to use the new IAP when running the form. This is unnecessary if the new IAP replaces the standard one.
user exists a program that is written and linked report builder
it's 5 types
1.before parameter
2.after parameter
3 before report trigger
4.after report trigger
5.between pages
&
User Exit :
-----------
User_Exit is a facility given in reports, to transfer the execution of report from report builder to the 3GL.
1.SRW.USER_EXIT('FND SRWINIT');
It will capture profile values of the user when the report is executed from SRS window.
FND SRWINIt User_Exit will be called from Before Report Trigger.
2. SRW.User_Exit('FND SRWEXIT');
It will be called from After Report Trigger which frees the memory occupied by the parameters of the report.
Below User_Exit are used to capture the data which stored in segments of the tables. one user exit is used to capture the segment data and another is used to populate the data.
3. SRW.User_Exit('FND FLEXSQL
CODE = " "
NUM = " "
Appl_Short_Name=" "
Output=" "
Mode= " "
Display = " "');
Used for the Key Flex Fields and stored in the Before Report Trigger.
4. SRW.User_Exit('FND FLEXIDVAL
CODE = " "
NUM = " "
Appl_Short_Name=" "
DATA=" "
Value= " "
Mode= " "
Display = " "');
is used for the Key flex fields this user_exit is written in the Formula column.

What is the use of CUSTOM Library in Oracle Apps?
Answers:
--------
Custom library or custom.pll give the programmer a flexibility to add code on allowed custom events . As custom .pll is general for all the forms that open in application , you have to specify in you code , the exact form name , block name , item name and event name where the code should execute.
However not all the events are supported in custom .pll but you can very control the behaviour of object and add logic to some extent with the help of custom .pll coding. For more information please refere Oracle Applications Developers Reference Manual

What is FlexField?
Answers:
--------
Flexfiled is nothing but a Flexable data,
Oracle Application uses Flexfield to capture information about Your organization.
Like Company,
Cost Center,
Account.
They r two types of FlexFields :
They r:
1.Key Flexfield:collection of Atributtes
Discriptive Flex Fild:collection of Segments
Flexfields are special type of text fields which is internally mapped to a set of segments or attributes depending on the type of flexfield. This mapping is defined by the customer as per his requirement.
There are two types of flex fields. One is Key flex field which stores the combination of the segments in a seperate unique column and another contains the structure.For example code_combination_id and chart of accounts in gl_code_combinations table. Descriptive flex field does not contain any storage column for storing combinations. Instead descriptive flex field contains a context column which stores context information.

To use a lexical parameter in the query of your data model, prefix it with a '&' (ampersand)
example SELECT ename FROM emp WHERE &lp_lexical_val
The value of p_lexical_val may be set in the code in a trigger, etc., as follows:
:lp_lexical_val := 'empno = 1111';
or
:lp_lexical_val := 'empno = '||:p_input_val;

64.Question :
-------------
Can Any body explain me how to use the following user_exits in apps reports which have flex fields as display/query columns.
FND FLEXSQL
FND FLEXIDVAL
Answers:
--------
FND FLEXSQL - This user exits allows you to use Flex fields in Reports
Call this user exit to create a SQL fragment usable by your report to tailor your SELECT
statement that retrieves flexfield values. This fragment allows you to SELECT flexfield
values or to create a WHERE, ORDER BY, GROUP BY, or HAVING clause to limit or
sort the flexfield values returned by your SELECT statement. You call this user exit once
for each fragment you need for your select statement. You define all flexfield columns in
your report as type CHARACTER even though your table may use NUMBER or DATE or
some other datatype.
Syntax:
FND FLEXSQL
CODE=? flexfield code?
APPL_SHORT_NAME=? application short name?
OUTPUT=?: output lexical parameter name?
MODE=?{ SELECT | WHERE | HAVING | ORDER BY}?
[DISPLAY=?{ALL | flexfield qualifier | segment number}?]
[SHOWDEPSEG=?{Y | N}?]
[NUM=?: structure defining lexical? |
MULTINUM=?{Y | N}?]
[TABLEALIAS=? code combination table alias?]
[OPERATOR=?{ = | < | > | <= | >= | != | ?||?|
BETWEEN | QBE}?]
[OPERAND1=?: input parameter or value?]
[OPERAND2=?: input parameter or value?]
e.g-
SRW.USER_EXIT('FND FLEXSQL CODE="MSTK" NUM=":P_STRUCT_NUM" DISPLAY="ALL"
APPL_SHORT_NAME="INV" OUTPUT=":P_ITEM_FLEXDATA" MODE="SELECT" TABLEALIAS="msi"');
FND FLEXIDVAL - This user exits allows you to use Flex fields in Reports
Call this user exit to populate fields for display. You pass the key flexfields data retrieved
by the query into this exit from the formula column. With this exit you display values,
descriptions and prompts by passing appropriate token (any one of VALUE,
DESCRIPTION, APROMPT or LPROMPT).
Syntax:
FND FLEXIDVAL
CODE=? flexfield code?
APPL_SHORT_NAME=? application short name?
DATA=?: source column name?
[NUM=?: structure defining source column/lexical?]
[DISPLAY=?{ALL| flexfield qualifier| segment number}?]
[IDISPLAY=?{ALL| flexfield qualifier| segmentnumber}?]
[SHOWDEPSEG=?{Y | N}?]
[VALUE=?: output column name?]
[DESCRIPTION=?: output column name?]
[APROMPT=?: output column name?]
[LPROMPT=?: output column name?]
[PADDED_VALUE=?: output column name?]
[SECURITY=?: column name?]
These two user exits are used for the Key Flex field reporting. Where you have to capture and print the date which stored in the segments of the table.
FND FLEXSQL is used to capture the data from segments.
FND FLEXIDVAL is used to populate the captured segment values.
If you want to use these user exits then we have follow below steps :
1. Create 3 Variables
Name DataType Initial value
P_CONC_REQUEST_ID Number(20) --
P_Struct_Num Number(20) --
P_Flex_Data Char(6000) (Segment1||' '||Segment2......||Segmentn)
2. In Before Report Trigger
SRW.Reference(:P_Struct_Num);
SRW.User_Exit('FND SRWINIT');
SRW.User_Exit('FND FLEXSQL
CODE="GL#"
NUM=":P_Struct_Num"
Appl_short_Name="SQLGL"
Output=":P_Flex_Data"
Mode = "Select"
Display ="All"');
compile and close.
3. In After Report Trigger
SRW.USER_EXIT('FND SRWEXIT');
compile and close.
4. Go to Data Model in Report Builder
selet Last_update_date,&P_Flex_Data C_Flexdata from gl_code_combinations
where chart_of_accounts_id=:P_Struct_Num
5. got to Data model create layout using wizard.
6. Create a formula column with CF_Data datatype char(6000)
In that formula column
SRW.REFERENCE(:P_Struct_Num);
SRW.REFERENCE(:C_Flexdata);
SRW.USER_EXIT('FND FLEXIDVAL
CODE="GL#"
NUM=":P_Struct_Num"
Appl_short_Name="SQLGL"
Date=":C_Flexdata"
Value = ":CF_Data"
Mode = "Select"
Display ="All"');
return (:CF_Data);
compile and close.
7. Register the report in the applications and run it.

I am new to this forum and also to Oracle HRMS. I have 5 questions:
a. Can someone please tell me what is the date tracked option and how to use it?
b. Can I delete an employee from a table?
c. What is the difference between APIs and DataPumps?
d. What are user hooks?
e. Can we see the time stamp also with the "from" and "to" dates?
Would appreciate quick answers!!!
Answers:
--------
1. DateTrack adds the dimension of time to an application?s database.
The value of a DateTracked record depends on the date from which
you are viewing the data. For example, querying an employee?s annual
salary with an effective date of 12?JUL?1992 might give a different
value than a query with an effective date of 01?DEC?1992. However,
the application and the user see the employee?s pay as a single record.
For more information to how to use it look at this document available in Oracle web site
Implementing Oracle HRMS (US)
1) Date Track option in oracle Hrms used to see the history of the employee and also set the future dated tasks to the employees in the system.
date track tables are always ends with _f and columns of date track are effective_start_date and effective_end_date
2)No you cannot delete an employee from the system once the payroll has been run for the employee
3)Api are mostly used for the designing the interfaces for data migration
Data pump:-
4)User Hooks are used for the validations. with the user hooks u can do validation on the Jsp page as well as the Form.

Please tell me the difference between Conversions and Interfaces.
Answers:
--------
Conversion is to bring the data from other (non-OraApps) system to Oracle-Application system. This is one time activity (bring account details, transactions, orders, receipts and so on). So conversion itself is a project.
Interfaces are Concurrent PRograms/Program sets (pl/sql, pro*C, unix scripts, executables) . Interfaces are basically of two types (Oracle supplied (vanila programs eg:Autoinvoice in AR) and created by developer).
Hope this clarifies the concepts.
CONVERSION :-
IT IS A PROGRAM
->IT IS ONE TIME DATA TRANSFER
->WE WILL BE KNOWING THE VOLUME OF THE FLAT FILE
->NO NEED KNOW ALL EXCEPTIONS
->THIS IS USED IN UPGRADING,MIGRATION PROJECTS
INTERFACE:-
IT IS A PROGRAM TO TRANSFER THE DATA FROM ONE LOCATION TO ANOTHER
LOCATION
->IT IS SCHEDULED CONCURRENT PROCESS TO EXECUTED MULTIPLE TIMES
->WE WILL NOT BE KNOWING FLAT FILE VOLUME
->WE NEED TO HANDLE ALL EXPECTED EXCEPTIONS
->USED IN ENCHANCEMENT,CUSTOMIZATION PROJECTS

link between OM and AR
order_number in OE_ORDER_HEADERS_ALL
and
interface_header_attribute1 in RA_CUSTOMER_TRX_ALL
link between AR and GL
trx_number in RA_CUSTOMER_TRX_ALL
and

What is Data Migration and what is Conversion?
Whats the difference between both.
Answers:
--------
Data Migration is upgrading from one version to another version fro e.g. from 11.5.9 to 11.5.10.. Data Conversion is receiving data from a legacy system or receiving data from another module ( e.g. PA), validating it and converting it to ur our the target module using the standard import program.
Migration Means Upgrading the data from lower version to Higher version like 10.7 to 11i.
Integration Means Passing the Data from Higher Versionof oracle database to lowerversion of oracle database like 10g(Application R12 or 11i) database to 8i Database(Application 10.7).
Implementation Means we are introducing first time oracle database in client system.
Generally implementation projects we are using conversions.
&
Migration:Changing from legacy system into Oracle apps
Conversion:Converting the format from Oracle 11.5.9 to Oracle 11.5.10
&
Data Migration is upgrade the data old version to new version. like 11.5.0 to 12.01.1
and conversion is transfer the data from one instance to another instance
