On Demand Alert vs Concurrent Program

Hi,
I am new to the e-Business Suite of tools and was wondering what the difference is between an Alert that you would define as "on demand" to run whenever the need arises, versus creating a concurrent program that you could create a request for whenever you need to run it? In general, when would an "on demand" alert be used versus a concurrent program? I'm asking because I have some SQL that I need executed every now and then (like once every 2-3 months) to spot check some numbers. I don't know if I should set this up as an On Demand alert or as a concurrent program. Would it be over-kill to create a concurrent program for this? Seems like more steps are necessary for concurrent programs.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Oracle Alert facilitates the flow of information within your organization by letting you create entities called alerts to monitor your business information and to notify you of the information you want.
Concurrent programs are executable file which you choose to run (or schedule) at certain time/date, but it does not notify you as Oracle Alert does.
You can find more details about Oracle Alert and Concurrent Programs in "Oracle Alert User's Guide" and "Oracle Applications System Administrator's Guide Documentation Set".

I believe the "Concurrent Manager" is a product supported in the "E-Business" forum.
Can a moderator move the question there? (with other questions on this product)
I assume this is not related the Java's concurrency library.

Shell i Register Alert as a concurrent program ?

Hi All,
I have requirement as below.
Need to create one alert by just passing any email account.
Create a concurrent program and call this alert
This concurrent program will be run manually.
where this concurrent program is going to store. i mean which table this information is getting stored.
please respond , bit urgent.
Thanks.

You can create SQLPlus concurrent request where you can call the request for ALECDC
Here is an example.
Replace application ID and Alert ID
REQUEST_ID := FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST(
               'ALR',
               'ALECDC',
               <alert name>,
               TO_CHAR(:REQUEST.START_DATE, APP_DATE.canonical_DT_mask),
               FALSE,
               TO_CHAR(<your_application_id>),
               TO_CHAR(<your alert id>),
               'P',

APP-ALR-04050 Alert was not able to submit concurrent program

Hi Friends,
Can someone please help me in solving the below issue?
I'm using Event alert for submitting a concurrent program based on insertion/updations on po_requisition_headers_all table. This alert is not working when I am creating a Purchase Requisition manually in Requisitions screen, it is not invoking the concurrent program. Check event alert is failing with the error 'APP-ALR-04050 Alert was not able to submit concurrent program'.
But when I am creating a PR using an interface then the alert is working fine and submitting program.
oracle version is R12.
Alert SQL query:
Select prh.segment1,
prh.org_id
into &p_in_pr_num,
&p_in_org_id
from po_requisition_headers_all prh
where prh.authorization_Status IN ('APPROVED','CANCELLED')
and prh.attribute_category = 'Sales Driven'
and prh.org_id = :ORG_ID
and orh.rowid = :ROWID
Kindy help me in resolving this issue. Thank you in advance.
Thanks

I never did anything in server recently. But it throws the "FS-CANT OPEN TEMPFILE" error in forms while running the concurrent program.
Please Help How to resolve this issue.

How do you schedule an on-demand Alert?

I have created an on-demand Alert which I would like to execute every 60mins, how can I schedule this using concurrent manager?
Thanks,
Manish

Thanks for pointing out that part of the Alert users guide.
I have set the following values:
Frequency: Every N Calendar Days
Days: 1
Start Time: 07:00:00
End Time : 20:00:00
Check Interval: 01:00:00
I interpret this as follows: Run this Alert every day, starting at 7am in the morning, every 1 hour, till 8pm at night.
After saving this, should I see a scheduled concurrent request? Because I don't see any and since I set it up today morning, I have not seen any alert checks in the Alert History form.
Thanks for your continued participation,
Manish

There are two ways to look at what error the PLSQLBLOB API is throwing.
1) Call your PLSQLBLOB API GNE_PO_CREATE_FILE_ATTACHMENT.Gne_Create_File_Attachment directly from a PLSQL block and verify that it returns the BLOB data successfully.
You could also call another WF API that in turn executes the PLSQLBLOB API internally. For example,
<pre>
declare
l_document blob;
l_doctype varchar2(240);
l_aname varchar2(90);
begin
dbms_lob.CreateTemporary(l_document, true, dbms_lob.Session);
-- 207046 - This is the notification id of your failed workflow
-- PO_REPORT - Document type attribute
-- 'text/html' - Content Type being generated for
Wf_Notification.GetAttrBLOB(207046, 'PO_REPORT', 'text/html', l_document, l_doctype, l_aname);
-- Print the size of the document here to verify it was fetched correctly
end;
</pre>
2) Turn on log for SYSADMIN user with following attributes.
Log Enabled = TRUE
Log Level = ERROR
Log Module = wf.plsql%
Restart the Workflow Deferred Agent Listener and Workflow Notification Deferred Agent Listener and run your workflow process. Search for log messages written for above context and you can identify the error at wf.plsql.WF_XML.GetAttachment module with message starting as "Error when getting BLOB attachment ->"
Hope this helps.

Error while running a concurrent program.

Hi All,
I have written a plsql procedure and registered it with apps. When i run the program it is giving
FDPSTP failed due to ORA-20100: File l0137058.tmp creation for FND_FILE failed.
You will find more information on the cause of the error in request log.
I am not able to find out what is the problem with this. When i remove the FND_FILE.PUT_LINE statement from my code and execute it is executing properly without errors. Please suggest me what might be the problem. Also please suggest me where i can find this .tmp file or where i can find the request log.
Thanks and Regards,
Mahesh

Mahesh,
On the instance where this concurrent program fails to run, please verify the following:
1) Make sure that APPLPTMP is set to a valid directory as shown above (Verify from the OS by issuing "echo $APPLPTMP" as applmgr user)
2) Make sure that both the applmgr user and the database user "oracle" have read/write permissions on $APPLPTMP
3) Make sure that APPLPTMP is the first entry in utl_file_dir (utl_file_dir is set in the init<SID>.ora file). To verify to what "utl_file_dir" is set:
SQL> connect / as sysdba
SQL> show parameter UTL_FILE_DIRPlease go through the first document referenced in my first reply (Note: 261693.1), it should be helpful.

I have created xml data definition and uploaded a rtf template. Then linked it to my concurrent program. But when i ran the concurrent program successfully all i get is the xml output. Upon closer inspection it shows that no template is uploaded. Yet in xml publisher it shows as uploaded.
so my question is: what can prevent a rtf template from attaching to a concurrent program?

If you and send the template, it would be helpful.
