Note: Data groups are no longer supported. This section is provided for reference only.
Use this window to define data groups. A data group is a list of Oracle E-Business Suite and the ORACLE usernames assigned to each application.
If a custom application is developed with Oracle Application Object Library, it may be assigned an ORACLE username, registered with Oracle E-Business Suite, and included in a data group.
An ORACLE username allows access to an application's tables in an ORACLE database. All data groups automatically include an entry for Application Object Library.
A concurrent manager running reports or programs under Oracle E-Business Suite refers to a data group to identify the ORACLE username it uses to access an application's tables in the database.
Transaction managers running synchronous programs can only run programs submitted from responsibilities assigned the same data group as the transaction manager. If you create custom data groups, you should create new transaction managers for the applications that use transaction managers. Consult your product documentation to determine if your application uses transaction managers.
Each responsibility within Oracle E-Business Suite is assigned a data group.
During the installation or upgrading of Oracle E-Business Suite, a standard data group is defined, pairing each installed application with an ORACLE username (note: a standard data group is defined for each set of books). You cannot change or delete the predefined values for Application or ORACLE username in a Standard data group. However, you may:
Modify the Tool ORACLE username and description associated with an Application-ORACLE username pair.
Add new Application-ORACLE username pairs to the group.
Create a new data group, or modify an existing data group.
You cannot change or delete the predefined values for Application or ORACLE username in a Standard data group. However, you may modify the Tool ORACLE username and description, or add new Application-ORACLE username pairs to a Standard group.
A data group is uniquely identified by its name. You cannot create a data group with a name already in use.
Once saved, data group names cannot be edited.
Pair applications with ORACLE usernames.
When you copy a data group, each application, its assigned ORACLE username, and, if present, its Tool ORACLE username and description, appear in this zone automatically. All data groups automatically include an entry for Application Object Library.
Within each data group, an application can be listed only one time.
Select the ORACLE ID you want to assign to an application. An application uses an ORACLE ID to access tables in the database. Each ORACLE ID allows access to a predefined set of tables in the database.
Use this button to copy an existing data group, then add or delete application-ORACLE username pairs to create a new data group.
