1) To open Concurrent Program Executable:

Navigate: System Administrator  Concurrent Program Executable.

GE Patni Internal
Executable
Enter a name for your concurrent program executable. In the Concurrent Programs
window, you assign this name to a concurrent program to associate your concurrent
program with your executable logic.
Short Name
Enter a short name for your concurrent program executable.
Application
The concurrent managers use the application to determine in which directory structure
to look for your execution file.
Execution Method
The execution method cannot be changed once the concurrent program executable has
been assigned to one or more concurrent programs in the Concurrent Programs window.

The possible execution methods are:

1. Host The execution file is a host script.
2. Oracle Reports The execution file is an Oracle Reports file.
3. PL/SQL Stored Procedure The execution file is a stored procedure.
4. SQL*Loader The execution file is a SQL script.
5. SQL*Plus The execution file is a SQL*Plus script.
6. Spawned The execution file is a C or Pro*C program.
7. Immediate The execution file is a program written to run as a subroutine of
the concurrent manager. We recommend against defining new
immediate concurrent programs, and suggest you use either a
PL/SQL Stored Procedure or a Spawned C Program instead.
8. Request Set Stage Function PL/SQL Stored Function that can be used to
calculate the completion statuses of request set stages.

Execution File Name

Enter the operating system name of your execution file. Some operating systems are
case sensitive, so the name entered here should match the file name exactly. Do not
include spaces or periods (.) in the execution file name, unless the execution method
is PL/SQL stored procedure or Request Set Stage Function. The maximum size of an
execution file name is 60 characters.

Subroutine Name
Enter the name of your C or Pro*C program subroutine here. Do not use spaces or
periods (.) in this field. Only immediate programs or spawned programs using the
Unified C API use the subroutine field. We recommend against defining new
immediate concurrent programs, and suggest you use either a PL/SQL Stored
Procedure or a Spawned C Program instead.

Stage Function Parameters

The Stage Function Parameters button opens a window that allows you to enter
parameters for the Request Set Stage Function. This button is only enabled when
you select Request Set Stage Function as your Execution Method.

2) To open Concurrent Program:
Navigate: System Administrator  Concurrent Program  Define.

Concurrent Programs Block

GE Patni Internal
 The combination of application name plus program name uniquely identifies your
concurrent program.
Program
You see this longer, more descriptive name when you view your requests in the
Requests window. If this concurrent program runs through Standard Request
Submission, you see this name in the Submit Requests window when you run this
program.
Short Name
Enter a brief name that Oracle Applications can use to associate your concurrent
program with a concurrent program executable.
Application
The program’s application determines what ORACLE username your program runs in
and where to place the log and output files.
Enabled
Indicate whether users should be able to submit requests to run this program and
the concurrent managers should be able to run your program.
Disabled programs do not show up in users’ lists, and do not appear in any
concurrent manager queues. You cannot delete a concurrent program because its
information helps to provide an audit trail.

Executable
Executable: Name
Select the concurrent program executable that can run your program. You define the
executable using the Concurrent Program Executables window. You can define
multiple concurrent programs using the same concurrent program executable.

Executable: Name
Select the concurrent program executable that can run your program. You define the
executable using the Concurrent Program Executables window. You can define
multiple concurrent programs using the same concurrent program executable.

Priority
You can assign this program its own priority. The concurrent managers process
requests for this program at the priority you assign here. If you do not assign a
priority, the user’s profile option Concurrent: Priority sets the request’s priority at
submission time.

Request
Type
If you want to associate your program with a predefined request type, enter the
name of the request type here. The request type can limit which concurrent
managers can run your concurrent program.

Incrementor
For use by Oracle Applications internal developers only. The incrementor function is
shown here.

MLS Function
The MLS function, if any, used by the program. The Multilingual Concurrent Request
feature allows a user to submit a request once to be run multiple times, each time in
a different language. If this program utilizes this feature the MLS function determines
which installed languages are needed for the request.

Use in SRS
Check this box to indicate that users can submit a request to run this program from
a Standard Request Submission window.

GE Patni Internal
 Allow Disabled Values
If you check the Use in SRS box, you can also check this box to allow a user to enter
disabled or outdated values as parameter values. Many value sets use special table
columns that indicate whether a particular value is enabled (using ENABLED_FLAG,
START_DATE_ACTIVE, and END_DATE_ACTIVE columns). These value sets normally
allow you to query disabled or outdated values but not enter them in new data. For
Standard Request Submission, this means that a user would not normally be allowed
to enter disabled values as report parameter values when submitting a report, even
if the report is a query–only type report.

Run Alone
Indicate whether your program should run alone relative to all other programs in the
same logical database. If the execution of your program interferes with the execution
of all other programs in the same logical database (in other words, if your program is
incompatible with all programs in its logical database, including itself), it should run
alone. You can enter any specific incompatible programs in the Incompatible
Programs windows.

Enable Trace
Turns on SQL tracing when program runs.

Restart on System Failure

Use this option to indicate that this concurrent program should automatically be
restarted when the concurrent manager is restored after a system failure.

NLS Compliant
This box is checked if the program allows for a user to submit a request of this
program that will reflect a language and territory that are different from the
language and territory that the users are operating in.

Output
Format
Select the output format from the following:
 HTML
 PCL (HP’s Printer Control Language)
 PDF
 XML
 PS (Post Script)
 Text
Save
Indicate whether to automatically save the output from this program to an operating
system file when it is run. This value becomes the default for all requests submitted
for this program. The output of programs with Save set to No is deleted after
printing. If this is a Standard Request Submission program, users can override this
value from the Submit Requests window.

Print
Enter Yes or No to indicate whether to allow the concurrent managers to print your
program’s output to a printer. If you enter No, your concurrent program’s output is
never sent to the printer.

Columns / Rows
Enter the minimum column and row length for this program’s report output. Oracle
Applications uses this information to determine which print styles can accommodate
your report.

Style
GE Patni Internal
 The print style you select depends on your system and printer setup. Print styles
include like:
 132 columns and 66 lines (Landscape)
 180 columns and 66 lines (Landwide)
 80 columns and 66 lines (Portrait)
 132 columns and 62 lines (A4)
Your list is limited to those styles that meet your program’s columns and row length
requirements.

Style Required
If your program requires a specific print style (for example, a check writing report),
use this check box to enforce that print style.

Printer
If you want to restrict your program’s output to a single printer, enter the name of
the printer to which you want to send your output. If your program has minimum or
maximum columns or rows defined, your list of values is limited to those printers
that can support your program’s requirements. Users cannot override your choice of
printer from the Submit Requests or Requests windows.

Concurrent Programs Buttons

request and report information. You can elect to copy the incompatibility and
parameter details as well.
