Oracle has introduced two new features in autoconfig. These two new features for sure gonna help to reduce the downtime of application for maintenance tasks.1.  AutoConfig: Parallel Run Option

The “Parallel Run” feature enables

AutoConfig to be executed simultaneously across multiple nodes of an Oracle

E-Business Suite instance. Certain AutoConfig configurations of one node depend

on the configurations of other nodes. When running in parallel mode, AutoConfig

uses dbms_locks so that the configuration of one node does not interfere with

the configuration of other nodes. During the instantiation (INST) phase,

locking is done at the script level. During the execution (EXEC) phase, locking

is done at the product_top level.

AutoConfig can be run in parallel mode on

the application tier with the following command:

perl $AD_TOP/bin/adconfig.pl contextfile=

[product=] –parallel

Where is the absolute path of the applicaton tier context file,

and is the short name of the product to be configured.

AutoConfig can be run in parallel mode on

the database tier with the following command:

perl $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/bin/adconfig.pl contextfile=

-parallel

Where is the absolute path of the database tier context file.

In parallel mode,

AutoConfig must be invoked with the “–parallel” option on all nodes of a multi-node

environment.

This feature can be obtained by applying following patch :

    7207440:

    TXK 12.0.4 Consolidated Patch 1 – only for R12

This feature is currently not available for

Oracle E-Business Suite 11i

2. AutoConfig: Profiler

This new feature provides a consolidated HTML report of an

AutoConfig run. The report displays a summarized view that lists all the

product tops, along with the total instantiation and execution time of the

templates within each product top. You can drill down further into this report

to view the following:

    Source and

    target location of each template

    Time

    consumed to instantiate/execute individual template scripts

    Execution

    report for each template script

AutoConfig can be run in profile mode on the application

tier with the following command:

$AD_TOP/bin/adconfig.pl contextfile=

[product=] –profile

Where is the absolute path to the application tier context file

and is the short name of the product to configure.

AutoConfig can be run in profile mode

on the database tier with the following command:

perl $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/bin/adconfig.pl contextfile= -profile

Where is the absolute path to the database tier context file.
