Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) is a comprehensive suite of integrated business applications designed to automate and streamline various business processes. It includes modules for financials, supply chain, human resources, and more, providing a unified platform for enterprise resource planning (ERP).
When working with Oracle Forms within EBS, you might encounter the error message: FRM-40735: ON-ERROR trigger raised unhandled exception. This error typically appears when an unexpected condition occurs in a form, and the system is unable to handle it gracefully.
Users may notice that certain forms fail to execute as expected, resulting in abrupt termination or unexpected behavior. The error message is displayed, indicating an issue with error handling in the form.
The FRM-40735 error is associated with the ON-ERROR trigger in Oracle Forms. This trigger is designed to capture and manage exceptions that occur during form execution. However, if the trigger is not properly implemented, exceptions may go unhandled, leading to this error message.
The error code FRM-40735 signifies that an exception was raised within the ON-ERROR trigger, but there was no mechanism in place to handle it. This can occur due to missing or incomplete error handling logic in the form's trigger.
To address the FRM-40735 error, follow these steps to implement robust error handling in your Oracle Forms:
Open the form in Oracle Forms Builder and navigate to the ON-ERROR trigger. Examine the existing code to identify any missing or incomplete error handling logic. Ensure that the trigger is designed to capture and manage all potential exceptions.
Enhance the ON-ERROR trigger by adding comprehensive error handling logic. Use PL/SQL constructs such as EXCEPTION blocks to manage different types of exceptions. For example:
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
-- Log the error
MESSAGE('An unexpected error occurred: ' || SQLERRM);
RAISE FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE;
After implementing the changes, test the form thoroughly to ensure that exceptions are handled gracefully. Trigger various scenarios that could lead to exceptions and verify that the ON-ERROR trigger captures and manages them appropriately.
