Scheduling concurrent program in Oracle Apps R12

How to scheduling concurrent program in Oracle AppsR12.

Many times you may want to run a concurrent program at a specific time on some specific days of a week. Remembering the schedule and submitting the programs manually may not be feasible all the times. Oracle E- Business suite conveniently let’s you schedule a program to run on a specified time and date. When you schedule, the program will automatically be kicked off at the specified time.
Now let us see how we schedule a concurrent program in Oracle Apps.

1. Go to the respective responsibility where the concurrent program to be scheduled exists. Then go to View > Requests and click on “Submit a New Request”

Sch1

2. Select “Single Request” and click on OK button

Sch2

3. Enter the concurrent program name to be scheduled and the respective parameters and click on Schedule button.


 4. This will open up the Schedule window.

Sch4

5. Schedule options: The below are the available scheduling options, we will see what they mean.

(i) As Soon as Possible: Selecting this option will kick off the concurrent program immediately.

(ii) Once: Selecting this option lets you specify at what time and date you want to kick off the concurrent program. The concurrent program will be submitted only once at the specified time and date.

Sch5

(iii) Periodically: Lets you schedule the program at the specified interval like once a month/week/day/hour/minute.

Sch6

Description of the fields and their importance:

Start At: Enter the date and time when you want to start the schedule

End At: Enter the end date for the schedule. Leaving this blank will run indefinitely.

Re-run every: Specify the interval you want to run like for example – every 1 day or every 2 months.

Apply the interval: How do you want to apply the interval from the start of the prior run or from the completion of the prior run.

Increment date parameters each run: Use this when one of the parameters for your program is a date.
If you check this, the date parameter will be incremented for each run.
If not checked, the date given in the parameter will not increment, it will remain the same as entered while scheduling for every run.

Apply a Saved Schedule: If more than one program has to be scheduled in a similar fashion, instead of entering the schedule details for each and every program, you can save the schedule and apply the same schedule for the remaining programs.

(iv) On Specific Days: Use this if you want to run the program for example on 5th day of every month or on Tuesday of every week,. This option lets you choose on what days of every month you want to run a program.

Sch7

6. Once you specify the interval/frequency you want the program to run, click on OK button. (I have set it to run once a day at 2:00 P.M starting from 23-Feb-2014 till 26-Feb-2014 as seen in the below screenshot)

Sch8

7. Click on Submit button.



 8. Upon querying for the request in the requests window, you see our program with status scheduled. When it’s time, the program will be executed.





This is how you schedule a program to run at a specified frequency or interval.

9. At any point of time, if you need to change the schedule, you can select the scheduled request and click on View Details button.





Then click on Schedule button. Here you can change the schedule as per your wish.

Sch12

10. If you wish to cancel a scheduled request, select the request in the Requests window and click on Cancel Request in Requests window.




This will prevent the program from running. If you see the below screenshot, status is cancelled.

Edit the /etc/fstab file and add an entry for the new drive. For my example,

[root@sujeet~]# vi /etc/fstab

/dev/sdc1   /disk1     ext3    defaults        1 1

save it.

[root@sujeet ~]# mount /disk1

chkdsk command

How to Check Disk from the Command Line to Find and Fix Errors?

You can run Check Disk from the command line or within other utilities. At a command prompt, you can test the integrity of the G drive by typing the following command: 
 

chkdsk G:


To find and repair errors that are found in the G drive, use the following command:

chkdsk /f G: 


Note that Check Disk can’t repair volumes that are in use. If the volume is in use, Check Disk displays a prompt that asks if you want to schedule the volume to be checked the next time you restart the system. Click Yes to schedule this.

The complete syntax for Check Disk is this:

chkdsk [volume[[path]filename]]] [/F] [/V] [/R] [/X] [/I] [/C] [/L[:size]] 


The options and switches for Check Disk are used as follows:
Volume Sets the volume to work with.
filename FAT/FAT32 only: Specifies files to check for fragmentation.
/F Fixes errors on the disk.
/V On FAT/FAT32, this displays the full path and name of every file on the disk. On NTFS, this displays cleanup messages, if any.
/R Locates bad sectors and recovers readable information (implies /F).
/L:size NTFS only. Changes the log file size.
/X Forces the volume to dismount first if necessary (implies /F).
/I NTFS only. Performs a minimum check of index entries.
/C NTFS only. Skips checking of cycles within the folder structure.

Starting and Stopping NFS

Starting and Stopping NFS

To run an NFS server, the portmap service must be running. To verify that portmap is
active, type the following command as root:

[root@sujeet ~]# /sbin/service portmap status

If the portmap service is running, then the nfs service can be started.
To start an NFS server, as root type:

[root@sujeet ~]# /sbin/service nfs start

To stop the server, as root type:

[root@sujeet ~]# /sbin/service nfs stop

The restart option is a shorthand way of stopping and then starting NFS.
This is the most efficient way to make configuration changes take effect after
editing the configuration file for NFS.

To restart the server, as root type:


[root@sujeet ~]# /sbin/service nfs restart

The condrestart (conditional restart) option only starts nfs if it is currently running.
 This option is useful for scripts, because it does not start the daemon if it is not
 running.

To conditionally restart the server, as root type:
[root@sujeet ~]# /sbin/service nfs condrestart

To reload the NFS server configuration file without restarting the service,
 as root type
:

[root@sujeet ~]# /sbin/service nfs reload

By default, the nfs service does not start automatically at boot time.
To configure the NFS to start up at boot time, use an initscript utility,

such as /sbin/chkconfig, /sbin/ntsysv, or the Services Configuration Tool program.

Oracle database upgrade 11.2.0.3 to 12.1.0

Upgrade Path for Oracle Database to Oracle 12c Release 1 (12.1)

Minimum version of the database that can be directly upgraded to Oracle 12c Release 1 (12.1)

Source DatabaseTarget Database
10.2.0.5 12.1.x
11.1.0.7 12.1.x
11.2.0.2 or higher 12.1.x

The following database versions will require an indirect upgrade path:

Source DatabaseIntermediate Upgrade Path for Target DatabaseTarget Database
11.2.0.1 ----> 11.2.0.2 or higher ----> 12.1.x
11.1.0.6 ----> 11.1.0.7 or 11.2.0.2 or higher ----> 12.1.x
10.2.0.4 (or earlier) ---->  10.2.0.5 or later direct upgrade version ----> 12.1.x
10.1.0.5 (or earlier) ----> 10.2.0.5 or later direct upgrade version ----> 12.1.x
9.2.0.8 (or earlier) ---->   9.2.0.8 --> 11.2.0.2 or higher ----> 12.1.x

 For example:
  •  If you are upgrading from 11.2.0.1 or 11.1.0.6, then you must first upgrade to Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2.0.2).
  •  If you are upgrading from 10.2.0.2, 10.2.0.3, 10.2.0.4, or 10.1.0.5, then you must first upgrade to 10.2.0.5 or later.
  •  For release 9.2.0.8, you must first upgrade to an intermediate Oracle Database release, as follows: 9.2.0.8 -> 11.2.0.2 or 11.2.0.3 -> 12.1

To locate the patch-id of a patch-set refer to:
Note 438049.1 : How To Find RDBMS patchsets on My Oracle Support
Note 753736.1 : Quick Reference to Patchset Patch Numbers

Upgrading Oracle Database 11.2.0.3 to 12.1.0 steps

 

There are different ways of upgrading to the latest release of Oracle database and Oracle provides multiple methods to upgrade. Few are listed below:
  • Database Upgrade Assistant (DBUA)
  • Manual Upgrade
  • Transportable Tablespaces
  • Datapump export/import
  • Oracle Streams
  • Oracle GoldenGate
I chose DBUA to upgrade my test database as it was the simplest and quickest of all. Below are the database environment details prior to upgrade:
