1.4 About E-Business Suite Components

As part of AXF configuration, solution integrators configure the following E-Business Suite components.

"PLL Modules"
"PL/SQL Procedures"
"AXF-Related Tables in E-Business Suite"

1.4.1 PLL Modules

In AXF, user interface .PLL extension modules are used to access workflow tasks and documents associated with business records.

The Custom.PLL module is slightly modified during installation to call AXF functions. It notifies AXF each time an E-Business Suite event occurs, allowing AXF to determine if it relates to AXF functionality. See "Compiling E-Business Suite Forms".

The AXF_Custom.PLL component performs the following functions:

Calls out to a web service to execute an AXF Command
Responds to the following AXF response commands:
- Open Browser
- Terminate Conversation
Renders menus to expose AXF functionality based on the E-Business Suite configuration database.

1.4.2 PL/SQL Procedures

The following PL/SQL procedures are provided. (In some cases, separate E-Business Suite release 11 and 12 versions are provided.) See "Configuring the E-Business Suite Database".

PL/SQL Procedure	Purpose
AXF_CREATE_TABLES_SYNONYM.sql	Creates the tables and synonyms used by AXF.
AXF_ADD_EBS_ATTACHMENT_PROC.sql	Creates a stored procedure that adds an attachment to a transaction in E-Business Suite.
AXF_SOAP_CALL_PROC.sql	Creates a stored procedure to make SOAP calls from PL/SQL.
AXF_APPS_INIT.sql	Required for EBS attachment.
AXF_EBS_PROPERTIES.sql	Populates the AFX_PROPERTIES table with security information for various E-Business Suite calls to AXF.

1.4.3 AXF-Related Tables in E-Business Suite

Configuring AXF for E-Business Suite requires configuring AXF-related tables in E-Business Suite. These tables are used to specify which screens are enabled to execute configured AXF commands. See "About the AXF Tables in E-Business Suite".

AXF-related E-Business Suite tables include the following:

AXF_CONFIGS Table
AXF_COMMANDS Table
AXF_COMMAND_PARAMETERS Table
AXF_PROPERTIES Table
