Oracle General Ledge/Posting Single Ledger program takes too long

Posted on by Osama Mustafa in Database
After suffering about 6 hours of tuning EBS R12 on Customer Side , Since Posting not not working , but status on Concurrent Is Running and hang in some where .

Cause

This is Bug 9707317.

Posting Performance issue caused by Rule Hint being hard coded in the glsasi.lpc file.

The program uses the “/*+ rule */” hint, but it should be using “/*+ CHOOSE */” or none, which is shown in the tkprof’d trace file explain plan.

Also the wrong index is being used, it is using GL_ACCOUNT_HIERARCHIES_01 when it should be using the GL.GL_ACCOUNT_HIERARCHIES_U2 index.

Solution

To implement the solution, please execute the following steps:

1. Download and review the readme and pre-requisites for the relevant patch.

For 12.0.x patch 9707317:R12.GL.A
For 12.1.x patch 9707317:R12.GL.B

Note: If a password is required to download the patch, please open a service request to get the proper password.

2. Ensure that you have taken a backup of your system before applying the recommended patch.

3. Apply the patch in a test environment.

4. Confirm the following file versions:

For 12.0 Patch 9707317:R12.GL.A

src/post glpmai.opc 120.21.12000000.2
src/summary glsasi.lpc 120.3.12000000.2

For 12.1 Patch 9707317:R12.GL.B

src/post glpmai.opc 120.24.12010000.1
src/summary glsasi.lpc 120.3.12010000.1
You can use the commands like the following:
strings -a $XX_TOP/filename |grep ‘$Header’

5. Retest the issue.

6. Migrate the solution as appropriate to other environments.

Enjoy

Speeding up Oracle Applications/Payroll processing

Posted on by Osama Mustafa in Application 
% sqlplus apps/apps

To retrieve the current value of ‘THREADS’ parameter:

SQL> select parameter_value
from pay_action_parameters
where parameter_name = 'THREADS';
To set the value for the number of payroll threads:

SQL> update pay_action_parameters
set parameter_value = <number_of_threads>
where parameter_name = ‘THREADS’;

SQL> commit;

 
if you don't have thread value use the below sql :
 
SQL> insert into PAY_ACTION_PARAMETERS values ('THREADS', 'XXXX');
SQL>commit;
