Is there any software to read the code?.
Thank you,

I haven't been able to see the code of a spawned program, but I have had some success in looking for SQL statements, etc in spawned programs, as these are typically stored in text strings in the original source code. I use the Unix strings command, as in the following example (which is not a concurrent program,but is a compiled executable):
strings -a $FND_TOP/bin/FNDLIBR | grep -i fnd_file_private
While I can only guess at the logic of how it does it, this shows that FNDLIBR calls several of the procedures in the FND_FILE_PRIVATE package.
It really depends on what you are trying to find out - to get all of the database work performed by a spawned concurrent program, it is simpler to just enable tracing on the program and run a request. If you are looking for code logic (as in, in what case does FNDLIBR call fnd_file_private.outfile_get), as Shiv has said, about all you have to rely on is the documentation. Unfortunately, the documentation is not normally at that detailed a level.
