In Oracle Apps if you run a concurrent request and check the output (if the output is in text format)/log file then the file will be displayed in the default viewer of Oracle. This can be changed so that the content is displayed in the default web browser of the local computer.
For example, execute a concurrent program that gives TEXT output
Click on View Output button
The request output is displayed in the Oracle form viewer. Now click on Tools > Copy File
You will see the output in the browser
If you instead wanted to view the output directly in the web browser then you need to check the following setup.
Setup
Responsibility: System Administrator
Navigation: Install > Viewer Options
Note the value of Description field for File Format = Text and Mime Type = text/plain
Navigation: Profile > System
Query for “Viewer: %“
Click on Find button.
You can see that the Profile Option Name = Viewer: Text does not have any value set. Assign the value, Browser for this profile option.
Save the form and log out of Oracle apps.
Test the change
Log back into Oracle and open the SRS form to see the concurrent request
Click on View Output button
Now you will see that the output opens directly in the web browser.
Cheers!
