Hi Ankit,

by chance is this problem happening when you run the Create Accounting Sub 
Ledger accounting jobs?

If you are a new implementation of EBS depending on your transaction volume you 
may find that the Sub Ledger Accounting tables (and underlying partitions) grow 
fairly quickly - and depending on the nature of the business transactions you 
will notice that the rows in the partitioned XLA tables may vary largely 
depending on the nature of the transactions in the various subledgers (AP, AR, 
INV etc etc).

To get around this I would suggest a couple of things:

1. Keep an eye out for the XLA rollup patches. The most recent financials 
rollups were released around March. There were a number of fixes post 12.1.3 
around performance in Subledger Accounting.
2. Maintain current statistics on the XLA segments. If you are a new 
implementation then you may need to look at running a gather stats on a regular 
basis if the XLA tables are growing rapidly (this also applies to an upgraded 
R12 environment from 11i etc as the XLA tables are populated as part of the 
upgrade driver).
3. Investigate the option of maintaining a longer period of AWR information. We 
have had a couple of occurrences on customer sites where performance problems 
in the create accounting jobs only popped up at month end due to the nature of 
the business process cycle. The easiest way to resolve these issues was to 
compare the current plan to the good plan from the previous month then lock in 
the previous months execution plan with a SQL baseline.

You might also want to check if MOS Note # 1465689.1 is relevant to your 
environment as well.

Regards,

Mark
