Oracle Middleware 1Z0-151 Questions & Answers

• Question 1:

  Which three are valid ways to populate a display item?

  A. initial Value property

  B. User input

  C. When-Button-Pressed trigger

  D. Calculation

  E. Executing a query

  Correct Answer: ACD

  C: You can use the attachable PL/SQL libraries to implement a flexible message function formessages that

  are displayed programmatically by the built-in routines MESSAGE orCHANGE_ALERT_MESSAGE, or by

  assigning a message to a display item from a triggeror procedure.

  D: Creating Calculated Items

  Change the Item Type to Display Item.

  Set the Calculation Mode property to Formula.

  Set the Formula property to the required formula.

  Incorrect answers:

  B: Display items and text items are fairly similar and share many of the same properties. The biggest difference between the two is that a user can navigate to a text item and change its value. This is not possible with a display item. As its name implies, it merely displays information.

  Note: Display items do not allow any user interaction - they merely display data and never accept cursor focus.

  Use a display item for the following situations:

  *

  Null-canvas fields

  *

  Context fields

  *

  Fields that act as titles or prompts

• Question 2:

  An LOV must be displayed several times in your form; therefore, good performance when displaying LOV is essential. In a When-New-Form-instance trigger, you want to save the ID of the LOV in a global variable so that you can use it in any code to display the LOV.

  Which built-in would you use to get the ID of the LOV?

  A. SHOW_LOV

  B. FIND_LOV

  C. GET_ITEM_PROPERTY

  D. GET_LOV_PROPERTY

  E. GET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY

  Correct Answer: B

  Referencing Objects by Internal ID Finding the object ID:

  lov_id := FIND_LOV('my_lov')

• Question 3:

  You must be careful when coding a When-Button-Pressed trigger, because it does not accept restricted built-ins.

  A. True

  B. False

  Correct Answer: B

  The When-Button-Pressed trigger:

  *

  Fires when the operator clicks a button

  *

  Accepts restricted and unrestricted built-ins

  *

  Is used to provide convenient navigation, and to display LOVs and many other frequently used functions

• Question 4:

  The Orders form, you want to enable users to use Microsoft Excel to create and print an invoice for the customer. The file should be created on the user's computer so that it can be printed with the local printer.

  Which WebUtil package would you use to implement this requirement?

  A. CLIENT_GET_FILE_NAME

  B. CLIENT_HOST

  C. CLIENT_OLE2

  D. CLIENT_TEXT_IO

  E. CLIENT_Win_API

  F. WEBUTIL_FILE

  G. WEBUTIL_UTIL

  Correct Answer: C

  Note: Performing OLE Automation on the Client You can use any OLE2 package on the client by prefixing it with CLIENT_. You can see the list of the OLE2 package procedures and functions in the Forms Builder ObjectNavigator under the Built-in Packages node.

  Note 2: With WebUtil, you can do the following on the clientmachine: open a file dialog box, read and write image or text files, execute operating system commands, perform OLE automation, and obtain information about the client machine

• Question 5:

  When users enter address information, you want them to be able to select the state from a static list of values. You have not used a list of states before, and there is no database table that contains state information.

  What is the first step in creating such a list of values as quickly as possible?

  A. invoke the LOV wizard.

  B. Create a new record group that is based on a SQL query.

  C. Create a new static record group.

  D. Create a list item instead; a list of values is not appropriate for a static list.

  Correct Answer: A

  ow to create LOV in Oracle forms?

  List of Values(LOV) are used either when a selected list is too long and hence would not be appropriate for a drop down, but needs a search form to select the value.

  Steps to create LOV functionality:

  *

  Click on the LOV icon in the object navigator and choose a manual/automatic wizard. This will create a record group.

  *

  Open a search form in the Dialog Page

  *

  Select values inside this form.

  *

  Return selected values to the original page.

• Question 6:

  View the Exhibit.

  

  What four facts can you determine by examining the Object Navigator?

  A. The Orders block is a detail block.

  B. The Order_Items block is a detail block.

  C. An order can be deleted only if it has no order items.

  D. If an order is deleted, all of its order items are deleted.

  E. You cannot delete order items without deleting the order.

  F. You can delete an order without deleting its order items.

  G. The Orders block is a master block.

  H. The Order_Items block is a master block.

  I. If you delete an order item, all of its associated inventory items are deleted.

  J. The inventories block is a master block.

  Correct Answer: BCDG

  B: Order_Items is a detail block.

  C (not F): A master block record cannot be deleted if there are corresponding detail block records.

  D: To delete an order, all the corresponding order items must be deleted, for example through an ONCHECK-DELETE-MASTER trigger.

  G: The Orders block is a master block.

  Incorrect answers:

  E: Order_items can very well be deleted without deleting the corresponding order.

  J: There are no triggers for INVENTORIES.

  Either Master or Detail Triggers would have been created if it was either a Master or Detail block.

  Note: Master/Detail Triggers: Oracle Forms generates master/detail triggers automatically when a master/detail relation is defined between blocks. The default master/detail triggers enforce coordination between records in a detail block and the master record in a master block. Unless developing custom block- coordination schemes, you do not need to define these triggers.

  *

  On-Check-Delete-Master Fires when Oracle Forms attempts to delete a record in a block that is a master block in a master/detail relation.

  *

  On-Clear-Details Fires when Oracle Forms needs to clear records in a block that is a detail block in a master/detail relation because those records no longer correspond to the current record in the master block.

  *

  On-Populate-Details Fires when Oracle Forms needs to fetch records into a block that is the detail block in a master/detail relation so that detail records are synchronized with the current record in the master block.

• Question 7:

  Customers log in to your Orders application by using their customer ID, which is saved as a global variable. When the Orders form first comes up, you want it to be populated with the customer's orders, and you do not want customers to be able to query for another customer's orders.

  You code the following triggers:

  When-New Form instance on the Orders form:

  GO_BLOCK('orders'); EXECUTE_QUERY;

  You also have a button in the Control block labeled Query Orders with a When-Button Pressed trigger that has the same code as the When New-Form instance trigger. To test the form, you run it and log in a Customer 104. When you click Query Orders, all orders are shown, not just those for Customer 104.

  What is the best way to correct this issue to ensure that the customer can never query another customer's orders?

  A. Delete the Key-Exeqry trigger and add the its first line after the call to GO_BLOCK in the When-NewForm-instance trigger.

  B. Change the last line of the When-Button-Pressed code to: DO_KEY ('EXECUTE_QUERY');

  C. Delete the Key-Exqry trigger and put its code in an On-Select trigger.

  D. Delete the Key-Exqry trigger and put its code in a Pre-Query trigger.

  Correct Answer: B

  Note: EXECUTE_QUERY procedure Clears the current block, opens a query, and fetches anumber of selected records. If there are changes tocommit, Forms Builder prompts the operator to committhem before continuing EXECUTE-QUERYprocessing

• Question 8:

  View the Exhibit.

  

  You are creating a menu for use with several forms. You create the structure of the menu in the Menu Editor.

  As shown in the Object Navigator in the Exhibit, which objects are menu items?

  A. MENU3 only

  B. ITEM6 only

  C. MENU3, ITEM4, ITEM5, ITEM5_MENU, and ITEMG

  D. ITEM4, ITEM5, and ITEM6 only

  E. ITEM4 and ITEM5 only

  F. ITEM 4 and ITEM6 only

  G. ITEM5 and ITEM only

  H. MENU3 and ITEM5_MENU only

  Correct Answer: D

  MENU3 and ITEM5_MENU are menus.

• Question 9:

  Which three statements are true about the PL/SQL Packages panel in the Forms debugger?

  A. You can select an option button to view server packages.

  B. You can view packages only while the runtime process executes PL/SQL.

  C. You can view the values of variables that are defined in the package specification.

  D. You ran select an option button to view the packages that have not yet been instantiated.

  Correct Answer: ABC

  PL/SQL Packages Panel: This panel is used only to browse and examine the PL/SQL packages which are been instantiated while executing the form.

• Question 10:

  The Orders form, whose properties have not been changed from the default, has two non-base table text items to display the sales representative's first and last names.

  You want to ensure that entries made in these Items correspond to an existing employee, so you write a When-Validate-Item trigger for the Sales_Rep_First_Name text item:

  SELECT LAST_NAME Into :last_name FROM employees WHERE first_name = :first_name; EXCEPTION WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN MESSAGE ('There is no sales rep by this name');

  When you test the form and enter a first name that does not exist in the database, the message that you specified appears, but the cursor goes to the Sales_Rep_Last_Name item. You want the cursor to remain in the Sales_Rep__First Name item until a correct first name is entered.

  Also, as you continue to test the form, at times, the cursor does not leave the Sales_Rep_First_Name item after you enter a name, but no error message appears.

  Which two things can you do to correct these problems?

  A. Add the code to handle the FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE exception.

  B. Raise the FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE exception.

  C. Add code to handle the TOO_MANY_ROWS exception.

  D. Raise the TOO_MANY_ROWS exception.

  E. Code an On-Error trigger.

  F. Code an On-Message trigger.

  G. Write a When-Validate-Item trigger for the Sales_Rep_Last_Name item.

  H. Move the code to a form-level When-Validate-Item trigger.

  I. Change the form's validation Unit property to Record.

  Correct Answer: AC

  A: FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE Exception Triggers fail only when one of the following occurs: *An unhandled exception *When you request the trigger to fail by raising the built-in exception FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE This exception is defined and handled by Forms Builder, beyond the visible trigger text that youwrite. You can raise this exception:

  * In the executable part of a trigger, to skip remaining actions and fail the trigger *In an exception handler, to fail the trigger after your own exception-handling actions havebeen obeyedIn either case, Forms Builder has its own exception handler for FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE , which fails the trigger but does not cause an unhandled exception. This means that you can fail the trigger in a controlled manner.

  C: When you use SELECT in a PL/SQL block, it's important to make sure that exactly one row will always be returned by your query. If more than one row is returned, the TOO_MANY_ROWS exception occurs.

  Note 1_ When-Validate-Item fires when Forms validates an item.

  Note 2: The scope of a trigger is determined by its position in the formobject hierarchy--that is, thetype of

  object under which you create the trigger. There are three possible levels that answer the"What

  Level?"question in the slide graphic:·

  Form level:

  The trigger belongs to the form and can fire due to events across the entireform.· Block level: The trigger belongs to a block and can fire only when this block is the currentblock.· Item level: The trigger belongs to an individual item and can fire only when this item isthe current item
