Name of Product: Oracle Application Framework Release 12.2.4

Last Updated: 19-Sep-2014

This VPAT applies to only version 12.2.4. It does not apply to any versions of Oracle Application Framework after this.
This VPAT has been superseded by Oracle Application Framework Release 12.2.5

Oracle Application Framework (OA Framework) is an integrated platform for developing and deploying Oracle E-Business Suite HTML-based applications.

This VPAT only covers OA Framework runtime user interface components, user interface interactivity and functional administration pages.

For additional information, refer to My Oracle Support Knowledge documents and E-Business Suite documents:

  • Oracle Application Framework Developer's Guide, Document 1315485.1
  • Oracle Application Framework Profile Options, Document 1315510.1
  • Oracle Application Framework Release Notes for Release 12.2.4, Document 1676223.1
  • Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1 and 12.2 Release Content Documents,  Document 1302189.1
  • Oracle Application Framework Personalization Guide, Part No. E22031
  • Oracle E-Business Suite User's Guide, Part No. E22956

The following are known exceptions:

  • The Favorites, Navigator and Settings menus in the global header and Table Settings image need to be marked up as wai-aria buttons and menus with menu items. (Bugs 17214194, 18688497) 
  • Read-only checkboxes are images and need wai-aria checkbox role. (Bug 18978347)
  • Tab pages are links and need wai-aria tab role. (Bug 19501349)
  • The home page navigator tree needs to be a wai-aria tree view widget. (Bug 17214262)
This VPAT does not cover the following product areas:
  • Oracle JDeveloper with OA Extension (an Oracle E-Business Suite design-time extension) that makes up the integrated development environment (IDE) for OA Framework.
  • Inline Pop-Ups allows applications to update or display contextual information in a small pop-up window on top of an OA Framework page. This pop-up capability helps to minimize the number of Detail drilldown interactions a user has to make. The Inline Pop-Ups feature is disabled in both 'Standard' and 'Screen Reader Optimized' accessibility modes.  The user may drilldown to the detail to achieve the same functionality. (Bug 12583117)
  • The Look Ahead List of Values (LOV) has type-ahead search capabilities. When an end-user types in a few characters (generally at least three) into an LOV search field, all matching results for the characters are fetched and displayed inline to the LOV component in a Look Ahead LOV window. The Look Ahead LOV is disabled in 'Screen Reader Optimized' accessibility mode. The user may open the classic LOV modal window to search for and select a value and achieve the same functionality. (Bug 17656938)
  • The Inline Attachments pop-up window allows a user to add, edit, delete, or view attachments to a business entity on the same page as the base entity itself. The Inline Attachments feature is disabled in both 'Standard' and 'Screen Reader Optimized' accessibility modes.  The user may navigate to the Add and View attachments pages to achieve the same functionality. (Bug 8996793)
  • The Inline Date Picker is disabled in 'Screen Reader Optimized' accessibility mode. The date can be entered manually into the field without using the inline date picker. (Bug 3822637)
  • A Rich Content Container is a component designed to hold external content such as ADF Faces within an OA Framework page . The rich content may be embedded within an OA Framework page directly, or enclosed within an iFrame depending on the rich content source. The Rich Content Container does not pass an accessibility mode to the external application. (Bug 18888719)

For Web UI, the user needs to enable accessibility mode either from the Login page or Preferences page by choosing one of these values for the Accessibility poplist value:

  • ‘Screen Reader Optimized’
  • ‘Standard Accessibility’

Explanation of how the Login screen works:

  • The accessibility mode only needs to be set once by the user to a value other than 'None' if needed.  If a screen reader user forgets to set the mode to 'Screen Reader Optimized' then on the main navigator page, the screen reader will speak "The application is running in inaccessible mode. This can be changed from the preferences screen."
  • If on the Login page the user selects 'Standard Accessibility' or 'Screen Reader Optimized', a profile gets automatically set to that value which can be seen on the Preferences page.
  • If user selects 'None' on the Login page, the value on the Preferences page stays to whatever it was last set to.
  • The Login page itself runs as GUEST user and by default is set to 'Standard Accessibility' accessibility mode.  A System Administrator can set it to a different value such as 'Screen Reader Optimized' accessibility mode via the System Profiles page.

Please review the Oracle E-Business Suite Accessibility  white paper for more information.

1194.22(p) When a timed response is required, the user shall be alerted and given sufficient time to indicate more time is required. Product has been developed to conform to this standard subject to the remarks on the right.

Profile option 'ICX: Session Timeout' is used to enforce an inactivity time-out. If a user performs no Oracle E-Business Suite operation for a time period longer than the time-out value (specified in minutes), the user's session is disabled. The user is provided an opportunity to re-authenticate and re-enable a timed-out session. If re-authentication is successful, the session is re-enabled and no work is lost. Otherwise, Oracle E-Business Suite exits without saving pending work.

  • If this profile option to 0 or NULL, then user sessions will never time out due to inactivity.

Profile option 'ICX: Limit Time' is used  to specify the absolute maximum length of time (in hours) of any user session, active or inactive.

The 'User Session Limits' and 'Session Timeout Behavior' are documented in the Oracle E-Business Suite System Security Guide.

Note to 1194.22: The Board interprets paragraphs (a) through (k) of this section as consistent with the following priority 1 Checkpoints of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 (WCAG 1.0) (May 5 1999) published by the Web Accessibility Initiative of the World Wide Web Consortium: Paragraph (a) - 1.1, (b) - 1.4, (c) - 2.1, (d) - 6.1, (e) - 1.2, (f) - 9.1, (g) - 5.1, (h) - 5.2, (i) - 12.1, (j) - 7.1, (k) - 11.4.
