Learn ORACLE-EBS-DSLS with Real Code Examples
Updated Nov 27, 2025
Practical Examples
Auto-generating supplier import concurrent programs with validation and logging
Scaffolding AR invoice interfaces that map external CSVs to EBS APIs
Producing controlled flexfield definitions and value sets from configuration files
Generating wrapper packages that centralize FND user/notification logic
Creating repeatable environment provisioning scripts for sandbox EBS instances
Troubleshooting
Confirm that generated PL/SQL uses supported seeded APIs and correct grants
Validate AD/TXT manifests for missing entries or incorrect paths
Check concurrent manager logs and output files for runtime errors
Ensure flexfield/value set IDs map consistently between environments
Use a local test EBS instance or clone to reproduce issues before pushing to higher environments
Testing Guide
Unit-test generated PL/SQL logic with utPLSQL or similar frameworks
Mock seeded APIs to verify generated code paths without touching production data
Execute concurrent programs in isolated test instances and assert outputs
Validate AD patch creation and installation in a sandbox environment
Include integration tests that run through the end-to-end file-to-EBS flow
Deployment Options
AD patches for database and application-tier deployment
Middleware deployments (jar/ear) for Java adapters
Shell scripts or orchestration jobs for file movement and batch runs
Containerized generator tools in CI for reproducible builds
Use Oracle tools (opatch, adpatch) as appropriate for environment
Tools Ecosystem
Custom CLI generator tools (open-source or partner-built)
PL/SQL linters and static analysis tools
AD utilities for building and applying patches
CI/CD platforms (Jenkins/GitLab) for packaging and deployment
Local EBS sandbox or Oracle Cloud EBS test instances for validation
Integrations
Oracle seeded APIs (AP, AR, GL, INV, PO packages)
APPS schema PL/SQL packages and FND utilities
Concurrent Manager and Oracle Scheduler for job orchestration
Middleware (SOA, OIC, REST adapters) for external integrations
Data loader tools (SQL*Loader, external tables) and file-based interfaces
Productivity Tips
Start small: automate the most repetitive, error-prone tasks first
Keep generated code visible and auditable (do not hide it)
Version both DSL files and templates together
Integrate linters and tests into CI to catch issues early
Provide cookbook examples for common extension scenarios
Challenges
Keeping generated artifacts compatible across EBS patch levels
Ensuring generated code uses supported, documented APIs
Balancing generator convenience with the need for bespoke logic
Managing secrets and credentials securely in CI/CD
Convincing stakeholders to invest in DSL tooling and governance
