OAF customization r12.OAF Customization steps

We do customizations in the Standard Application when we have some specific Requirment that could not be achievable through the Standard Functionality so we do changes in the Standard Prewritten code of Oracle application to meet our Custom Requirment but Oracle does not recommend and the support the Customizations in Oracle R12 so when ever it applies patch or new application versions comes this customization automatically replaces by the Standard functionality and also if any issue occur in the Oracle Application and you have done some customizations in it then its too difficult to take support from Oracle on this because its against the Rule of Oracle to make changes in its standard code. But in r12, oracle has provided a new feature to his customers to allowing changes in the standard Functionality of Oracle application by some extent in the OAF pages.

 

In OAF , we can do changes in the standard Functionality with the help of Extensions. Oracle has given OAF extensions feature by which we can changes the Layout and functionality of the Standard OAF page in some extent. This is an great feature by which we can make the changes in the Standard OAF pages and also these changes are supported by Oracle.
