Oracle(r) Applications Maintenance Utilities Release 11i (11.5.10.2) Part No. B19300-01 Using Parallel Processing-> Managers =============================================================== FND_INSTALL_PROCESS =============================================================== The manager assigns each worker a unique ID and inserts a row for each worker in the FND_INSTALL_PROCESSES table. It creates this table to serve as a staging area for job information, and as a way to communicate with the worker. Communication is accomplished using two columns: CONTROL_CODE and STATUS. The manager updates the table with a subset of the list of jobs, one job per worker. For example, if there are five workers, then the table holds five jobs (even though there may be 100 or more jobs involved in the complete action). The manager starts the workers and uses the CONTROL_CODE and STATUS columns to assign tasks. It polls these two columns continuously, looking for updates from the workers. As a worker finishes its assignment, the manager updates each row with the next task in the list, and leaves another message for the worker. Once all jobs are complete, the manager tells the workers to shut down, and then drops the FND_INSTALL_PROCESSES table (after it is sure all workers have actually shut down). =============================================================== AD_DEFERRED_JOBS =============================================================== The deferred job feature uses the AD_DEFERRED_JOBS table. This table is created when the FND_INSTALL_PROCESSES table is created, and is dropped when the FND_INSTALL_PROCESSES table is dropped. =============================================================== Jurijs On 8/23/07, k srinivas wrote: > Hi DBAs.. > > The dynamic tables FND_INSTALL_PROCESS and AD_DEFERRED_JOBS are created > when d driver is executed.. > Correct me if I am incorrect?? > > What information these tables hold..Can anybody elaborate on this.. > > Thanks in advance > Sreenivash. -- Yury +371 29268222 (+2 GMT) ============================================ http://otn.oracle.com/ocm/jvelikanovs.html Atul Kumar Site Dedicated to Apps DBA's Forum Dedicated to Apps DBA's
