Q. Why I need two Concurrent Processing Nodes or in what scenarios PCP is
Used ?
Well If you are running GL Month end reports or taxation reports annually these reposrts
might take couple of days. Some of these requests are very resource intensive so you
can have one node running long running , resource intensive requests while other
processing your day to day short running requets.
another scenario is when your requests are very critical and you want high resilience
for your Concurrent Processing Node , you can configure PCP. So if node1 goes down
you still have CM node available processing your requests.
Q. Output & Logfiles for requests executed on source Instance not working on cloned Instance
Here is exact problem description - You cloned an Oracle Apps Instance from PRODBOX to another
box with Instance name say CLONEBOX on 1st of August. You can any CM
logs/output files after 1st of August only becuase these all are generated on
CLONEBOX itself, But unable to view the logs/output files which are prior to 1st
August. What will you do & where to check ?
Log , Output file path & location is stored in table FND_CONCURRENT_REQUESTS.
Check
select logfile_name, logfile_node_name, outfile_name, outfile_node_name from
fnd_concurrent_requests where request_id=&requestid ;
where requestid is id of request for which you are not able to see log or out files.
You should see output like
/u01/PRODBOX/log/l123456.req, host1,/u01/PRODBOX/out/o123456.out, host1
Update it according to your cloned Instance Variables.
