How to Trace a file in Oracle Apps

-



The main use of enabling trace for a concurrent program comes during performance tuning.
By examining a trace file, we come to know which query/queries is/are taking the longest
time to execute, there by letting us to concentrate on tuning them in order to improve the
overall performance of the program.
The following is an illustration of how to Enable and View a trace file for a Concurrent     Program.

  • Navigation: Application Developer–>Concurrent–>Program

    • Check the Enable Trace Check box. After that go to that particular Responsibility and run the Concurrent Program.


  • Check that the Concurrent Program has been completed successfully.




  • The trace file by default is post fixed with oracle Process_id which helps us to identify which trace file belongs to which concurrent request. The below SQL Query returns the process_id of the concurrent request:

Select oracle_process_id from fnd_concurrent_requests where request_id=’2768335′
(This query displays Process Id)



  • The path to the trace file can be found by using the below query:

SELECT * FROM V$PARAMETER WHERE NAME=’user_dump_dest’
(This Query displays the path of trace file)


  • The Trace File generated will not be in the readable format. We have to use TKPROF utility to convert the file into a readable format.


  • Run the below tkprof command at the command prompt.
TKPROF < Trace File_Name.trc> <Output_File_Name.out> SORT=fchela

A readable file will be generated from the original trace file which can be further
analyzed to improve the performance. This file has the information about the
parsing, execution and fetch times of various queries used in the program.

Difference between ATO and PTO in oracle apps

Difference between ATO and PTO in oracle apps 1) MAKE TO ORDER: This is based on Customer specification, you make the product and supply it to them. This is applicable for Engineering items or any Product which you can make based on Customer order Example: Engineering Items 2) ASSEMBLE TO ORDER: This is you have items in parts and it needs to be assembled according to customer requirements For example you have Laptop coming with standard configuration of 160GB Hard disk and 1 GB RAM. But there are customer orders coming in asking for 200GB Hard Disk and 2 GB RAM and if you can assemble them to suit Customer Requirement 3) CONFIGURE TO ORDER: This is Configuring the Product itself to suit Customer requirements Example. The Thread Manufacturing unit Machineries are configured. I have seen Laxmi Machine Works in INDIA which manufactures textile Machineries configure the machineries based on No.of spindles 4) PICK TO ORDER: This is same as Computer Example in ATO. But the  difference is

Sub Ledger Accounting SLA (Complete Functional Information)

SubLegder Accounting in R12 SLA Part -1 In these article, we will explore the very basics of SLA and why it exists. Firstly, what exactly does SLA do? SLA is a module which now sits between the SubLedgers like AP/AR etc and the General Ledger. Have a look at this diagram below.  As you will notice, SLA can act as a mediator between the subledgers and Oracle General Ledger. Before we progress, some terminologies of R12 must be revisited. In 11i we had set of books, and in R12 we call them Ledgers. Likewise in R12 we also have secondary ledgers and reporting ledgers. Hence from 11i perspective think of Ledger as Set of Books. As for Subledger, a Subledger is nothing but a module like AP/AR/PO/Inventory etc. In the diagram below, the second scenario is explained whereby let's say that payables module generates a charge account segment combination for an invoice distribution line as A.B.C.D. In such case, if SLA module is not customized, then the very same A.B.C.D
