==================================================================

Once you have the attached_document_id

you can use below query


SELECT fd.* FROM FND_ATTACHED_DOCUMENTS FAD, FND_DOCUMENTS FD
WHERE FAD.DOCUMENT_ID=FD.DOCUMENT_ID;

based on datatype_id in fnd_documents

you can join with any of

,APPLSYS.FND_LOBS
,APPLSYS.FND_DOCUMENTS_SHORT_TEXT
,APPLSYS.FND_DOCUMENTS_LONG_TEXT

tables.

How to download attachment stored in fnd_lobs table.

How to download attachment stored in fnd_lobs table

-        -          Open employee’s record and click on attachment icon.

-      Attach any new document under category as show below.

Now you can see the attachment symbol.

Attachment will be stored in fnd_lobs table.

below are queries to identify the attachment record.

select * from fnd_attached_documents

where entity_name='PER_PEOPLE_F'

and pk1_value=33579

order by creation_date desc;

select * from fnd_documents

where document_id=2349427;

select * from fnd_lobs

where file_id=2990785;

Now if you download the attachment through pl/sql procedure.

prerequisite 

- server directory -  where you want to download the file - generally database tier

- read/write access on the that directory.

- proper privileges on UTL_file packages

you can below procedure to download above attachment.

How to change current session language

How to change current session language in oracle

select * from per_business_groups;

output : no rows selected.

sometime some views will not return any data because of current session language.
Language install in your application is 'US', but what if your current session language is 'GB' or 'AR'.

sometimes your current session language depends on the tool that you are using or some default setup.

Generally it returns 'US'.
=====================================

select userenv('LANG') from dual;

output : US

=====================================

If it's not then you can your current session language by using alter session command.

eg. For AR

alter session set NLS_LANGUAGE='ARABIC';

eg. For GB

alter session set NLS_LANGUAGE='ENGLISH';

eg. For US

alter session set NLS_LANGUAGE='AMERICAN';

Set application message and token and retrieve it / Oracle application messages / FND Messages

Create a new application message as shown below.

You can set the message ,it's tokens, retrieve the value and then you can use it user hooks,form personalizations and other scripts.
