We all know the we can refer system profiles by using FND_PROFILE.VALUE(profile_ name).

There are already existing system profiles. We can also define and set up profiles not provided by Oracle, for example: FTP_TO_TARGET_SERVER_NAME. In thi s case, we can refer it in PL/SQL by FND_PROFILE.VALUE('FTP_TO_TARGET_SERVER_NAM E'). The below are the steps to define user profiles. 1) Log in as Application Developer responsibility, click on hen the form opened, input all necessary information. Name: FTP_TO_TARGET_SERVER_NAME Application: XX User Profile Name: Target Server Name for FTP Hierarchy Type: Security Hierarchy Type Access Level: Check site and Application. 2) Switch to System Administrator responsibility Menu: Profile -> System Search for Profile: Target%FTP% on site level, the defined profile will be showe d in the opened System Profile Values' Window. ( Profile Option Name' will be User P rofile Name defined in step 1). 3) Set up the value for this profile in this window, then you can refer it by us ing FND_PROFILE.VALUE('FTP_TO_TARGET_SERVER_NAME'). Note: FND_PROFILE.VALUE(Target Server Name for FTP'). To avoid confusion, you ca n give the same name for Name and User Profile Name is step one. This voids us to hard code the server path in the code. We can set up the differ ent values in test and production environment without code change. Profile' from menu. w
