  • Concurrent Procedure/Program/Process - A scheduled process that runs a DB stored procedure (Mainly Package)
  • Concurrent Report - A scheduled process running an Oracle report (*.rdf )
  • Discoverer Reports – including folders, functions, documents.  Custom folders not covered
  • Fast Formulas
  • Flexfields -  Value sets are analyzed, but defaulting rules are not analyzed
  • Forms -> *.fmb files, custom.pll, personalizations
  • Framework -> *.xml is covered.  *.class is covered for Patches, but not covered for Upgrades  *.css, *.jsp and *.java (Java files) are not covered. Framework personalizations are not covered.

  • MOD_PLSQL
  • Packages
  • Procedures
  • Profile options
  • Reports -> *.rdf files.  We analyze all of the RDF including the data model queries and the PLSQL triggers that exist in the reports

  • Triggers
  • Value Sets
  • Views & Materialized Views

For FMB, RDF, PLL, and all host scripts:
  • The source code file location is critical
  • Panaya only analyzes these code objects when they are registered correctly in the Apps Developer, and the source code appears in the custom TOP folder for the registered custom application module. 
  • Panaya does not analyze unregistered custom objects for these object types.
  • Panaya does not analyze custom objects if they appear in a folder other than the custom TOP folder designated in the Apps Developer registration
