Copyright © 2007, Oracle. All rights reserved.1 - 2

Objectives

At the end of this module, you should be able

to do the following:

• Report on configuration information for an installed Oracle Applications system

• Identify the version of Oracle Applications files

• Determine long-running scripts and potential problem areas when running AD utilities that utilize parallel workers


Module Overview

This module consists of the following topics:

• Running AD Configuration

• Using AD File Identification

• Running the AD Job Timing report

• Reducing system downtime


AD Configuration

AD Configuration:

• Is a SQL script (adutconf.sql)

• Is located in AD_TOP/sql

• Reports standard information about the installed configuration of Oracle Applications

• Generates a file called adutconf.lst in the current working directory


Running AD Configuration

UNIX:

Windows:

$ cd $APPL_TOP/admin/<SID>/out $ sqlplus <APPS username>/<APPS password> \ @$AD_TOP/sql/adutconf.sql

C:\> cd %APPL_TOP%\admin\<SID>\out C:\> sqlplus <APPS username>/<APPS password> \ @%AD_TOP%\sql\adutconf.sql


AD Configuration

This utility provides information about the installed configuration of Oracle Applications

The information includes:

• SQL*Plus PAUSE and NEWPAGE settings

• Rollback segment information

• Information about the product group

• Whether Multi-Org is configured

• List of operating units


AD Configuration

The information includes (cont.):

• List of registered products

• Information on all registered schemas

• Information about all registered products, including shared and dependent products

• Status of localization modules

• The base language and other installed languages

• NLS init.ora settings


AD File Identification

Use this utility to identify the version and translation level of Oracle Applications files.


AD File Identification (adident)

To run the AD File Identification utility:

UNIX:

Windows:

$ adident Header <file 1> [ <file 2> ... ]

C:\> adident Header <file 1> [ <file 2> ... ]


AD File Identification

$ adident Header $FND_TOP/lib/wfload.o \ $FND_TOP/lib/libfnd.a

wfload.o:wfload.oc 120.0

libfnd.a:fdacon.lc 120.0fdatat.lc 120.0fdastr.lc 120.0fdaupd.lc 120.0fdahmi.lc 120.0fdacv.lc 120.0fdfutl.lc 120.4....


AD Job Timing Report

• The AD Utilities, including AutoPatch, and AD Administration, improve performance of certain tasks by running them in parallel

• The utilities that run parallel workers produce an AD Job Timing Report

• The AD Job Timing Report contains detailed information for all tasks run in parallel



The AD Job Timing Report contains the following information:

• Jobs run successfully on the first try

• Failed jobs that were deferred and then run successfully

• Failed jobs that were restarted and then run successfully

• Failed jobs that were skipped

• Time-consuming jobs



Usage:

• AD utilities, by default, have the timing feature enabled

• Each session is assigned a session ID that is displayed at the beginning of the log file

• A report named adt<session_id>.lst is automatically generated at the end of the AD utility session. The report is available in the APPL_TOP/admin/<SID>/out directory

• To generate a report for AD sessions before the utility completes, you can use the script AD_TOP/admin/sql/adtimrpt.sql and provide the session identifier as a parameter


Running the AD Job Timing Report

UNIX:

Windows:

$ cd $APPL_TOP/admin/<SID>/out $ sqlplus <APPS username>/<APPS password> \ @$AD_TOP/sql/adtimrpt.sql <session_id> <OUTPUT FILE>

C:\> cd %APPL_TOP%\admin\<SID>\out C:\> sqlplus <APPS username>/<APPS password> \ @%AD_TOP%\sql\adtimrpt.sql <session_id> <OUTPUT FILE>


Reducing Critical System Downtime

The AD Job Timing Report provides you with detailed information about your test maintenance sessions

You can use it to:

• Determine long-running scripts and potential problem areas

• Find solutions to decrease the time of long-running scripts– Solutions may already be documented on OracleMetaLink

• Repeat test maintenance sessions and monitor the AD Job Timing Report to determine other areas where performance can be enhanced


Module Summary

In this module, you should have learned how to do the following:

• Report on configuration information for an installed Oracle Applications system

• Identify the version of Oracle Applications files

• Determine long-running scripts and potential problem areas when running AD utilities that utilize parallel workers


Module Discussion

• In what types of situations might AD Configuration be useful?

• How can the AD Job Timing Report assist you in reducing system downtime?


Module Practice

• Running AD Configuration

• Reviewing the AD Job Timing Report
