1 If BNE: Allow No Security Rule = Yes, then you dont need an associated function but if a function is associated then,

whatever the value of the profile, the function must be on the menu that you are accessing the Select Integrator page from. If BNE: Allow No Security Rule = No, then the integrator must be associated with a function on the menu that you are accessing the Select Integrator page from. If you dont conform to these rules then the following message appears on the Select Integrator page: You do not have permission to access this functionality Trying to add non-interface field to interface. Used ADI1.sql to create interface and default layout in 1 pass; then used Create Document/Web ADI Interface Columns Integrator to add the non-interface field; then used Define Layout to try to update existing default layout or even to create new layout; got Java nullpointer exception when then tried to run new integrator. However when integrator is created without at the same time creating the default layout, instead this step being left till after the non-interface field has been added to the interface then this error is not received.
From forums.oracle.com The WebADI caching can be very confusing. I made a little summary of what you can do to avoid caching problems like: "ORA-06508: PL/SQL: Could not Find Program Unit being Called in Custom Web ADI" or "SQL exception occurred during PL/SQL upload" A) clear cache with http://<machine>:<port>/OA_HTML/BneAdminServlet (Release 12) or http://usrnsterx013.terex.com:8008/oa_servlets/oracle.apps.bne.framework.BneAdminServlet (11i) Need to have System Administrator responsibility B) clear IE cache & restart C) clear the cache from the functional administrator responsibility D) Bounce the Apache server E) SQL command: Alter system flush shared_pool F) Download another WebADI spreadsheet (but you can re-use your old spreadsheet) G) log out and log back in EBS H) login at another computer and try it there ...or sometimes just wait for a while till it works again.

Strange behaviour. XXB has field inventory_item_id data_type 2 (char) with TABLE validation specified with id as inventory_item_id, meaning segment1. For several days this just didnt operate, then changed lov_type to POPLIST and got repeated java nullpointer errors. Left for few hours then found log had skipped from bne.log to bne2.log some days after profile was changed. Also XXB was now hanging and timing out. Removed POPLIST and added rownum<11 (had tried 101) to val_where. XXB then worked apparently for any external item number into the inventory_item_id field.
