Changing the look and feel of Oracle EBS environment from Backend:

We can do the same task from backend,where we have the requirement to do it frequently as below:

Step 1:Creat a sql file banner_colour_change.sql

banner_colour_change.sql
spool banner_colour_change.out
UPDATE fnd_profile_option_values fpv
SET fpv.PROFILE_OPTION_VALUE='TEAL'
WHERE fpv.PROFILE_OPTION_ID in ( SELECT t2.PROFILE_OPTION_ID
FROM FND_PROFILE_OPTIONS_TL t1,FND_PROFILE_OPTIONS t2
WHERE t1.USER_PROFILE_OPTION_NAME = 'Java Color Scheme'
AND t1.LANGUAGE = 'US' AND t2.PROFILE_OPTION_NAME = t1.PROFILE_OPTION_NAME);
commit;
spool off
exit

Step 2:Create a shell script as Apps_DBA_Scripts.sh

Apps_DBA_Scripts.sh
[ rafidba@node1 /home/rafidba/DBA_SCRIPTS ] vi Apps_DBA_Scripts.sh
.  $HOME/.bash_profile
sqlplus apps/apps_pass @/home/rafidba/DBA_SCRIPTS/banner_colour_change.sql

Step 3:Execute the Apps_DBA_Scripts.sh with nohup

nohup sh Apps_DBA_Scripts.sh>Apps_DBA_Scripts.out &


Step 4:Monitor and Validate the logs

tail -f Apps_DBA_Scripts.out 
less  Apps_DBA_Scripts.out 


Step 5:Check the colour by login to Oracle EBS page by opening form page

Now we can login to Oracle EBS Home Page and click any form page,the colour must have changed to TEAL.
