This document provides steps to create an Oracle Application Framework (OAF) search page with ADF Business Components. It describes how to create an application module, entity objects for EMP and DEPT tables, an association object joining the tables, a view object with a SQL query, and a page with search and results regions. It also covers implementing entity object methods and adding an attachment feature to the results table.

2. Set the below values for the Workspace. Workspace Properties: Name Apps88Search.jws New OA Project Checked
3. The workspace is created under the default location which is <JDEV_USER_HOME>/myprojects.
4. A new OA Project is created automatically. Set the below values: Project Properties: Name Apps88SearchProject Default Package apps88.oracle.apps.fnd.search
5. Click Next and select the database connection and test.
11. Click Next and then set the below properties for the Run time connection. Run Time Connection Details: DBC File Name - <J DEV_USER_HOME>\dbc_files\secure\<DBSC File Name>.dbc UserName Operations Password welcome Application Short Name FND Responsibility Key - APPLI CATI ON_DEVELOPER
12. Click Finish. Save your work and in the Application Navigator you will be seeing a workspace and a project inside that.

19. Click Add and select only the apps88 folder and click Ok. This step will make sure that only the apps88 package will be available in the project
20. In the Application Navigator you will notice only the apps88 package.
21. Right click on the project and select New. Select Business Tier ADF Business Components Entity Object.
22. Set the below values for the EO: EO Properties: Name EmployeeEO Package apps88.oracle.apps.fnd.search.server Schema Object EMP
23. Click Next.
24. All the attributes from the EMP table will be displayed. The EO should always contain the entire attributes from the table. Set the primary key for at least one column.
25. Click Next. 26. In the Java methods check the Create, Delete and Validation methods
27. Click Next and Finish.
28. Right click on apps88.oracle.apps.fnd.search.server and select New Entity Object.

30. All attributes in the Dept table will be displayed.
31. Click Next.
33. Click Next and Finish.
34. Right click on apps88.oracle.apps.schema.server and select New Association.
35. An Association Object is created here in order to join the Emp and Dept table so that we get the Department Name as well in the details.
36. Set the below values: AO Properties: Name EmpToDeptAO Package apps88.oracle.apps.fnd.search.server
37. Click Next and select the below values: Cardinality - * to 0..1 Source Attribute Deptno(EmployeeEO) Destination Attribute Deptno ( DepartmentEO)
38. Click Add and then Next and Finish
40. Right click on apps88.oracle.apps.search.server and select new View Object.
41. Set the below values: VO Properties: Name EmpDetailsVO Package apps88.oracle.apps.search.server
42. Click Next. Select the EmployeeEO and DepartmentEO and shuttle it to the right side. Set the Association for DepartmentEO as EmpToDeptAO.DepartmemtEO1. Check the Updatable.
43. Click Next.
44. From the EmployeeEO select Empno, Ename,Sal,Job, Hiredate,Comm and from DepartmentEO select Dname,Loc and Deptno.

to your table, and import them into the EO you have created.
