Importing Oracle Applications Request Sets

You import request sets to schedule them from within Redwood Server directly. The process definition parameters have constraints to allow you to easily select the appropriate username and responsibility, for example.

The following process definitions can be used to import Oracle Applications request sets:

• System_OraApps_RequestSetImport
• System_OraApps_RequestSetMultipleImport

Renaming Process Definitions

The imported process definitions are named after the application short name and the request set to be run. In previous releases, you were not able to rename Oracle Applications process definitions in Redwood Server as the application/request set combination were derived from the name of the process definition. You can identify these legacy process definitions by the contents of the Source field on the Definition tab of the process definition editor.

Process definitions that cannot be renamed have the following in the Source field:

SUBMIT

Process definitions that can be renamed have the following in the Source field:

SUBMIT
APPL_SHORT_NAME=<application_short_name>
APPL_PROG_NAME=<request_set_name>

For example, the DownloadPatches (FNDRSSUB1623) request set that belongs to application Applications DBA (AD) would have the following source:

SUBMIT
APPL_SHORT_NAME=AD
APPL_PROG_NAME=FNDRSSUB1623

Both syntaxes are allowed. You re-import the request sets that use the old syntax to update the process definitions to use the new syntax.
