One of the Administrators indicated that even 10 minutes after staffing the Standard Manager, it is
still not running any requests, and the pending jobs are piling up in the queue. The administrator
has requested for your help.
You are looking at the Administer Concurrent Manager screen, and you notice the following:
For the Internal Manager the number of actual processes is 0, target processes is 0, and pending
requests is 1.
For the Standard Manager the number of actual processes is 0, target processes is 3, and
pending requests is 56.
For the Conflict Resolution Manager the number of actual processes is 0, target processes is 0,
and pending requests is 1.
Analyze the state of the concurrent managers and identify the solution for resolving this issue.
A.
TheInternal Manager is not running, it must be started before the request to
starttheStandardManager can be executed. Entertheoperating system and start the Internal
Manager.
B.
The Internal Manageris not running,it must be started before therequest to start the Standard
Managercan be executed. Place the cursor on the Internal Manager record andpress the
Restartbutton.
C.
The Conflict Resolution Manager is not running, it must be startbefore the request to start the
Standard Manager can be executed. Place the cursor on theConflictResolutionManager record
and press the Restart button.
Explanation:
You can start, shut down, or reset the concurrent managers at any time. Oracle
Applications provides an Internal Concurrent Manager that processes these commands. You can
issue commands either to individual managers, or, by altering the state of the Internal Concurrent
Manager, you can control every manager at once.
The Internal Concurrent Manager activates and deactivates individual managers
Note:
Occasionally, you may find that requests are stacking up in the concurrent managers with a status
of “pending”. This can be caused by any of these conditions:
1. The concurrent managers were brought down will a request was running.
2. The database was shutdown before shutting down the concurrent managers.
3. There is a shortage of RAM memory or CPU resources.
Note2: The concurrent managers in the Oracle e-Business suite serve several important
administrative functions. Foremost, the concurrent managers ensure that the applications are not
overwhelmed with requests, and the second areas of functions are the management of batch
processing and report generation.
Oracle e-Business suite has three important master Concurrent Managers:
* The Internal Concurrent Manager — The master manager is called the Internal Concurrent
Manager (ICM) because it controls the behavior of all of the other managers, and because the
ICM is the boss, it must be running before any other managers can be activated. The main
functions of the ICM are to start up and shutdown the individual concurrent managers, and reset
the other managers after one them has a failure.
* Standard Manager — Another important master Concurrent Manager is called the Standard
Manager (SM). The SM functions to run any reports and batch jobs that have not been defined to
run in any specific product manager. Examples of specific concurrent managers include the
Inventory Manager, CRP Inquiry Manager, and the Receivables Tax Manager.
* Conflict Resolution Manager — The Conflict Resolution Manager (CRM) functions to check
concurrent program definitions for incompatibility rules. However, the ICM can be configured to
take over the CRM’s job to resolve incompatibilities.
