Export Function Not Working

Steps to reconfigure exporting in Oracle Applications:

1. Set System Profile Options ‘Export: Mime type’ to ‘text/tab-separated-values’

2. Setup your browser and Windows Explorer with this new mime type (if using Internet Explorer) :

– start Windows Explorer
– choose menu Tools => Folder Options…
– click on ‘File Types’ tab
– click on ‘New’ button to add a new type: File Extension: tsv
– click on ‘Advanced’ button and complete with: Associated File Type:
‘Microsoft Office Excel Comma Separated File’ (select it from the list)
– enable ‘Automatic prompting for file downloads’ option from Internet
Explorer: menu Tools => Internet Options… Security tab => click on ‘Custom Level’ button => ‘Downloads’ section

Next, run the “Rebuild Help Search Index” concurrent program as follows:

1. Log into PROD
2. Choose the System Administrator responsibility
3. Navigate to Requests > Run
4. Choose “Single Request” and press “OK”
5. In the Name field choose the process “Rebuild Help Search Index”
6. A box with parameters will popup – leave the defaults and press “OK”
7. Press “Submit” to run the report
8. To view the progress of the process navigate to Requests > View and find all requests.

2.  When shutting down the concurrent manager are there any FNDLIBR processes still running at the OS level?   If so, do a kill -9 on them.  Then restart the concurrent manager.

Tried this, but CM stopped successfully with no need to kill FNDLIBR.

3.  Rebuild the concurrent manager views.  As applmgr run the following from the OS:

This is non-destructive.

Concurrent Manager views can be rebuild by running the following command at the command line:

Ensure that concurrent manager is shutdown.

FNDLIBR FND FNDCPBWV apps/apps SYSADMIN 'System Administrator' SYSADMIN

Restart the concurrent manager.
