Configuring Parallel Concurrent Processing PCP in Oracle Apps (EBS) 12.2

Configuring Parallel Concurrent Processing PCP in EBS 12.2.x

I am sharing steps to configure Parallel Concurrent Processing PCP in an EBS 12.2 environments.

Steps:

1. Edit the applications context file via Oracle Applications Manager, and set the value of the variable APPLDCP to ON.

Set the value of s_appldcp to ON for both Nodes (funebsapp1 & funebsapp2) on both RUN & PATCH file system context files.

funebsapp1 & funebsapp2 : on Run File System

[applmgr ~]$ grep APPLDCP $CONTEXT_FILE

funebsapp1 & funebsapp2 : on Patch File System

[applmgr ~]$ grep APPLDCP $CONTEXT_FILE

2. Execute AutoConfig by running the following command on all concurrent processing nodes:

[applmgr@funebsapp2 ~]$ echo $FILE_EDITION

Run

[applmgr@funebsapp2 ~]$ adautocfg.sh

funebsapp1:

[applmgr@funebsapp1 appl]$ echo $FILE_EDITION

Run

[applmgr@funebsapp1 appl]$ adautocfg.sh

3. Check the tnsnames.ora and listener.ora configuration files, located in $INST_TOP/ora/10.1.2/network/admin. Ensure that the required FNDSM and FNDFS entries are present for all other concurrent nodes.

Edit the tnsnames.ora file on both funebsapp1 & funebsapp2 Application nodes.

[applmgr ~]$ cd $TNS_ADMIN

[applmgr ~]$ vi tnsnames.ora

[applmgr ~]$ vi listener.ora”

4. Restart the Applications listener processes on BOTH application tier node.

[applmgr ~]$ cd $ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME

[applmgr ~]$ adalnctl.sh stop

[applmgr ~]$ adalnctl.sh start

5. Log on to Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 using the SYSADMIN account, and choose the System Administrator Responsibility.

Navigate to the Install > Nodes screen, and ensure that each node is registered.

6. Verify that the Internal Monitor for each node is defined properly, with correct primary node specification, and work shift details. For example, Internal Monitor: Host1 must have primary node as host1. Also ensure that the Internal Monitor manager is activated: this can be done from Concurrent > Manager > Administrator.

7. Set the $APPLCSF environment variable on all the Concurrent Processing nodes to point to a log directory on a shared file system.

[applmgr@funebsapp1 scripts]$ echo $APPLCSF

/u02/erptest/fs_ne/inst/erptest_funebsapp1/logs/appl/conc

8. Set the $APPLPTMP environment variable on all the CP nodes to the value of the shared directory path on the 19c DB RAC node servers. Set the value of APPLPTMP correctly on both Application tier nodes in the CONTEXT_FILE, then restart the database once.

[oraebs@funebsdb1 19cHome]$ srvctl stop database -d BEE

[oraebs@funebsdb1 19cHome]$ srvctl start database -d BEE

9. Run AUTOCONFIG on both application tier nodes (first on node 2 then on node 1) on the RUN file system.

[applmgr ~]$ echo $FILE_EDITION

run

[applmgr ~]$ adautocfg.sh

10. Set profile option 'Concurrent: PCP Instance Check' to OFF if database instance-sensitive failover is not required. By setting it to 'ON', a concurrent manager will fail over to a secondary Application tier node if the database instance to which it is connected becomes unavailable for some reason.

11. Set Up Transaction Managers

Shut down the application services (servers) on all nodes
Shut down all the database instances cleanly in the Oracle RAC environment, using the command:

[oraebs@funebsdb1 appsutil]$ srvctl stop database -d BEE
[oraebs@funebsdb1 appsutil]$ srvctl start database -d BEE

Add following parameter as below (funebsdb1 and funebsdb2)

_lm_global_posts=TRUE
_immediate_commit_propagation=TRUE

[oraebs@funebsdb1 ~]$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/
[oraebs@funebsdb1 dbs]$ vi vision1_funebsdb1_ifile.ora

Start the instances on all database nodes, one by one.

[oraebs@funebsdb1 dbs]$ srvctl start database -d BEE

Start up the application services (servers) on all nodes.

Log on to Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 using the SYSADMIN account, and choose the System Administrator responsibility. Navigate to Profile > System, change the profile option ‘Concurrent: TM Transport Type' to ‘QUEUE', and verify that the transaction manager works across the Oracle RAC instance.

Navigate to Concurrent > Manager > Define screen, and set up the primary and secondary node names for transaction managers.

Restart the concurrent managers. (both Tier)

If any of the transaction managers are in deactivated status, activate them from Concurrent > Manager > Administrator.

12. Set Up Load Balancing on Concurrent Processing Nodes

1.Edit the applications context file through the Oracle Applications Manager interface, and set the value of Concurrent Manager TWO_TASK (s_cp_twotask) to the load balancing alias (<service_name>_balance>).

2. Execute AutoConfig by running $INST_TOP/admin/scripts/adautocfg.sh on all concurrent nodes.
