Supplier Open Interface Errors

Question

I created an supplier interface in plsql. Want I want to do is kick off the following concurrent programs from pl/sql using fnd_request.submit_request
Supplier Open Interface Import
Supplier Sites Open Interface Import
Now when I run the pl/sql without the call to the fnd_submit, then run the concurrent programs through the app in Payables Manager, it works fine. BUT when I add the fnd_submit call, it executes fine but there is a weird error dealing with reports. Now this seems like some kind of privilege thing maybe?
Below is my call to FND_SUBMIT and also my initialize. Also is the error. Ideas on what is up?
Maybe it is because the code is in a custom schema and not under apps??
APPS.fnd_global.apps_initialize(user_id =>'0'
,resp_id =>'50517'
,resp_appl_id =>'200');
v_header_req := APPS.FND_REQUEST.submit_request( application => 'SQLAP',
program => 'APXSUIMP');
v_site_req := APPS.FND_REQUEST.submit_request( application => 'SQLAP',
program => 'APXSSIMP');

Hello Jason,
We have done somewhat the same, I see you dont add any arguments in the submit request call.
Maybe all below is already known, maybe it helps you to find just what is wrong in your case.
We did it this way:
l_id := fnd_request.submit_request( application => 'SQLAP'
+, program => p_name+
+, description => null+
+, start_time => null+
+, sub_request => null--fnd_global.conc_request_id+
+, argument1 => 'APXSUIMP'+
+, argument2 => 'ALL'+
+, argument3 => 1000+
+, argument4 => 'N'+
+, argument5 => 'N'+
+);+
After this we immediately execute a commit (as this will trigger the request start).
After that we also wait for the request to finish by doing the following:
if fnd_concurrent.wait_for_request
+( l_request_id+
+, 2 --interval+
+, 0 --max_wait+
+, l_phase --phase+
+, l_status --status+
+, l_dev_phase --dev_phase+
+, l_dev_status --dev_status+
+, l_message )+
then ...
Hope this helps,
Mark
