View Concurrent Request privileges

From: "Bill Keenan" bkeenan@goodegg.com
Subject: Sysadmin View Concurrent Request privileges

Hi,

I am in 11.02, under my own Id, with Sysadmin responsibility, and would like to view all users' concurrent requests. I am unable to do so, unless I specify the User or other criteria in the Find screen of "View My Requests". The older versions allowed you to view requests under Sysadmin, which would view all users' requests.

Can anyone tell me if this is still possible, and what I need to do to see what users are running out there?

Thank you, Bill

Concurrent Managers stalling

Subject: Concurrent Managers

After a spate of patching in the last couple of weeks our concurrent managers are 'Stalling' i.e. the managers are all active however no transactions are being processed. This happens on an adhoc basis and the following error is encountered

APP-01227 AFPCSQ encountered an ORACLE error.

Has anyone experienced the same.....

Our details are;
database 7.3.2.3.14
applications 10.7 on NT

From what I can deduce, this routine maintains process ids, etc in fnd_concurrent_processes. It grabs them from the server while things run and then updates the table.

You could try doing the following.

Shutdown your conc. manager.

1) Update fnd_concurrent_queues
set running_processes0;

2) Delete from fnd-concurrent_processes;

Re-start the conc. managers again.

Org_id for concurrent requests

From: "Mike Brown" mbrown@glenraven.com
Subject: org_id for concurrent requests

Does anyone have a clue about how to find the org_id that a concurrent request is being run for? I am trying to get an estimate of the load that each of our orgs is putting on the server, so I need a generic way of finding this information.

Thanks

Subject: Re: org_id for concurrent requests

Hi Michael

Here is the Solution to your query.

After execution of the Concurrent request. Do the following :-

1. Go to Help-Tools-Examine.
2. It will show you a block. Click on the List button aside the Field "Field".
3. It will show you all the fields in that block.
4. Find out the field name ORG_ID in that list and if it there, double click on it.
5. It will show you the value of the ORG_ID used in that request.
6. If the ORG_ID field is not there, Search it in other blocks.

I will try to find out other solution also if I can and let you know.

Enjoy.

Creating Dynamic Parameters for Concurrent Requests

Date: Wed, 16 Jun 1999 19:57:34 -0700
From: Michael Blunck michael.blunck@aris.com
Subject: Creating Dynamic Parameters for Concurrent Requests

Without using a product like AutoSys, has anyone ever created a parameter for a concurrent request that was dynamic. To me dynamic would mean that if you scheduled this concurrent request to be resubmitted everyday could a parameter, with a value of 'SELECT sysdate from dual', be the current system date that the concurrent request was run. Currently this parameter will work for single submissions of the process, but when it is resubmitted the parameter remains as it was at the time of the original submission.

Thanks in advance,

Setup New FND_USERS via back-end

From: "James H. Lui" jlui@intelligencia.com
Subject: Setup New FND_USERS via back-end.

Are there any useful scripts anyone knows of to populate the FND_USER table based upon an pre-existing employee table (which is already feeding PER_PEOPLE_F, so each one already has a valid PERSON_ID and a 8 character unique short-name).

Particularly noisome has been the encryption calls for the ENCRYPTED_FOUNDATION_PASSWORD and ENCRYPTED_USER_PASSWORD columns in FND_USER.

Anyone have an insight as to how the functions get called?

Is your 10.7 SC? According to Oracle Support, "tool tips" on the toolbar are not possible in an NCA environment. This is due to the Web technology. The entire toolbar would have to mapped to a grid. This is what I was told by Oracle, as I had logged a TAR for this a few months ago.

we're on oracle apps 10.7 sc. oracle 7.3.4, I have to a apply patches p,q,r on oracle a/r. What would you'll recommend ,apply them all at once and test or apply them one at a time and test?

From: Nanda Kishore nkishore@csac.com

The patch sets are cumulative. So, the patch set 'R' has all the fixes included in 'P' and 'Q' and a little more. So, you just need to apply the latest patch set only.

Good luc,

From: Mahesh_Sookram@gallup.com
Subject: RE: applying patches

My question as far as the patches go is why not directly test and apply patchset R and forget about P and Q; I thought they were supposed to be cumulative patchsets. We have recently upgraded from 7.3.3.5.1 to 7.3.4.4.0 on HP-UX 10.20, with core dumps associated with relinking Apps executables. Seems to happen at the end when the adrelink program is line-wrapping the log file for readability. We have also gotten ora-error 12547: TNS lost contact which have caused server-side sql programs to fail. Oracle support helped us create a sqlnet.ora file with the following contents and the TNS problem seemed to go away. I think it is the AUTOMATIC_IPC = OFF in the sqlnet.ora file that helped us. (You would definitely want to try this on test before production.)

The $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/sqlnet.ora file:

AUTOMATIC_IPC = OFF
TRACE_LEVEL_CLIENT = OFF
NAMES.DIR_PATH = (TNSNAMES)
SQLNET.EXPIRE_TIME=0

Thanks, Mahesh

From: "Gow, Tony" GOWA@tc.gc.ca
Subject: RE: applying patches

My understanding from Oracle was that Patchset P was cumulative but that Patchset Q was NOT in that it only contained fixes and was not a complete module replacement. I am not sure if they have reverted back to the cumulative model for Patchset R but that should be verified before determinig your strategy for applying patches. In terms of applying the patch, this will amke a difference. If cumulative, just apply 'R' and test. If non-cumulative, you could devise a patch strategy where you apply, test, apply, test etc.. It is the only way you will know for sure which Patch caused the problem. It all depends on the level of risk you and your system owners are willing to assume. 990-9177

I am getting the error message when i am trying to do this: "ORA-06550: line 1, column 7: PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments"

The above procedure does not have any parameters and is running fine in Sql*Plus prompt.

TNS Lisener Problem on Host Machine

I hope you have an experience with the following error message:

An error occurred while attempting to establish an application file server connection with the node host name. There may be a network configuration problem, or the TNS listener on node host name may not be running.

I was trying to view a report or log of the Concurrent Manager form and got the error message above; however, I was able to print these reports.

I appreciate your responses.

It sounds as if you do not have your Report Review agent configured in your TNSnames.ora and listener.ora files. You need to set up a "pseudo" instance in these files for the FNDFS executable. This is the file that allows on line viewing. You actually have to set this up like you would set up a DB instance.

If you look in the installation guide it sould help you out. I know its in chapter 4 for R11 installations. Not sure of 10.7.

Hope this helps,

Subject: Re: TNS Lisener Problem on Host Machine

We too have experienced the problem below and here's what we have found...

If you were able to view the reports at one time, and now you get this error message, check the files (server) below for any recent changes:

listener.ora
tnsnames.ora
sqlnet.ora
hosts

If none of the above files have changed, and the FNDFS entry is correctly entered, check the tnsnames and hosts file on the client.

The last time we had the problem (just this past week), we were unable to find what was causing the problem so we called Oracle. They suggested rebooting the box (UNIX AIX box) and it actually worked.

I'm not sure why it worked...but it must have flushed something out...

We are on 10.7SC Prod16.1 RDBMS 7.3.3.5 using Winframe to deploy the application.

Good Luck!!

Hi,

We found out the problem with the client-side configuration (win.ini) NT file. We changed back from ORA_CONFIG=T:\FINPROD\ORAWIN\oracle.ini to ORA_CONFIG=T:\ORAWIN\oracle.ini. After that, we are able to review the on-line reports. We spent two weeks of trying to solve the problem.

Thanks for your time to respond my request via email messages.
