We already know that OAF page can be launched from Oracle Applications PUI. We can also launch a web page or custom built html from Oracle Applications PUI. Below steps explains you on how to achieve the same.
Note: In 11i, we used to achieve this functionality by creating a FND function of type SSWA plsql function that opens a new window (Kiosk Mode) or SSWA plsql function. But from R12, these types should not be used. So we have to follow below procedure to launch a web page or custom html from Oracle Applications PUI.
1) Create an .htm file calling the external link, for instance "xxpage.htm".
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0; URL=http://google.com">
</head>
</html>
<html>
<body>
<b>Our custom page</b>
</body>
</html>
2) Put this file under $OA_HTML directory. Check the permissions of the file
3) Go to System Administrator responsibility
4) Define a new fnd function as follows
- Enter function name and user function name
- Function Type : 'JSP Interoperable with OA'
- HTML Call : xxpage.htm
5) Search for the FND menu where you want to add access to our custom html. Add the newly created function to the menu with a proper name(displays in the navigator).
6) Clear cache and launch the page from Navigator. It's inevitable to clear the cache or else it raises a security exception upon launching the page.
Please let me know if I miss any points. I am happy to add here if it's relevant.
