Adhoc Roles from backend.

Adhoc Roles in Oracle Applications

Adhoc roles can be created through PL/SQL from database or they can be created from applications using User Management Responsibility. If you use PL/SQL to create roles make sure you give all user names and role names in UPPER case to avoid some problems.

Script to Create a Adhoc Role

DECLARE

lv_role varchar2(100) := 'PHANI_DEMO_ROLE';

lv_role_desc varchar2(100) := ' PHANI_DESC_DEMO_ROLE';

wf_directory.CreateAdHocRole(lv_role,

lv_role_desc,

NULL,

NULL,

'Role Demo for phani users',

'MAILHTML',

NULL,

NULL,

'ACTIVE',

NULL);

dbms_output.put_line('Created Role' ||' '||lv_role);

End;

Script to Add user to already existing Adhoc Role

DECLARE

v_role_name varchar2(100);

v_user_name varchar2(100);

BEGIN

v_role_name := 'PHANI_DEMO_ROLE';

v_user_name := 'NAME3';

WF_DIRECTORY.AddUsersToAdHocRole(v_role_name, v_user_name);

--USER NAMES SHOULD BE in CAPS

END;

Script to Remove user from existing Adhoc Role

DECLARE

v_role_name varchar2(100);

v_user_name varchar2(100);

BEGIN

v_role_name := 'PHANI_DEMO_ROLE';

v_user_name := 'USER3';

WF_DIRECTORY.RemoveUsersFromAdHocRole(v_role_name, v_user_name);
