Now We need to goto our OAF Page Controller. 

Under OAF Controller , We need to write this below code under the Process From Request Method.

super.processFormRequest(pageContext, webBean);
   
    OAApplicationModule am = pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean);

HashMap vhashMap = new HashMap(1);
vhashMap .put("ParamName1", "Test Value");

oapagecontext.setForwardURL("OA.jsp?page=/oracle/apps/ap/oie/webui/HomePG",

                                      null,
                                      OAWebBeanConstants.KEEP_MENU_CONTEXT,
                                      null, vhashMap , true,
                                      OAWebBeanConstants.ADD_BREAD_CRUMB_NO,
                                      OAWebBeanConstants.IGNORE_MESSAGES);

In the Destination OAF Page , If we want to retrieve this parameter in processRequest() via:

super.processRequest(pageContext, webBean);
   

  OAApplicationModule am = pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean);

oapagecontext.getParameter("ParamName1");
