Concurrent Program creation

What is Concurrent Program?
Any Program that can be separately constructed to be non-interactive could potentially be run as a standalone program in concurrent process. The process of creating a concurrent program is the same regardless of the execution method.

Creation of Concurrent Program: Executable & Definition

Step 1: Executable creation

Sysadmin Responsibility-> Concurrent -> Program->Executable
Short Name:
In the concurrent programs form, assign this name to a concurrent program to associate the concurrent program with the executable logic.

Application: The concurrent managers use the application to determine in which directory structure to look for your execution file.

Type of Execution Methods available:

A SQL script
A SQL*Loader program
Java program
Oracle Report
Pl/SQL program (or call it a stored procedure/package procedure)
Host script, like a Unix shell script
Pro*C/Spawned
Perl

Step 2: Concurrent Program Definition

Sysadmin Responsibility-> Concurrent ->Program->Define

Assign Parameters as required by the executable script developed.

Step 3: Attach the program to the Request Group of the Responsibility from which the program is required to run.

Sysadmin Responsibility-> Security-> Responsibility->Request

To find the Request Group go to Responsibility Definition form

Sysadmin Responsibility-> Security-> Responsibility->Define
