Using the Requests Window
You can use the Requests window to view a list of all submitted concurrent requests, check whether your request has run, change aspects of a request's processing options, diagnose errors, or find the position of your request in the queues of available concurrent managers.
You can navigate to the Requests window using the Navigate window. Different Oracle Applications products use different menu paths in the Navigate window to access the Requests windows.
Suggestion: Refer to the Menu Paths appendix of your application's user's guide to learn how to access this window from your application.
Attention: If your system administrator sets the profile option Concurrent:Report Access Level to "User," the Requests window displays the concurrent requests for the current user. If your system administrator sets the profile option to "Responsibility," the Requests window displays the concurrent requests for the current responsibility in addition to requests for the current user.
To use the Find Requests window:
1. Upon initial navigation to the Requests window, you are directed to the Find Requests window.
Use the Find Requests window to specify the types of requests you want to see. You can choose to view your completed requests, your requests in progress, or all of your requests by selecting the appropriate option group.
In addition, you can look for a particular request using the Specific Requests option group. Use the find criteria fields as you would for any other find window to specify as many or as few details as you need to locate the desired request information.
Note: You can use the Specific Requests region to view requests that you did not submit by entering a requestor other than yourself or using wildcards such as the "%" to query all requests.
Note: Depending on the value of the profile option Concurrent: Report Access Level, some concurrent requests may not be shown.
Note: Although you can list all submitted concurrent requests, you can generally only view detail, report output, and request log file information for your own concurrent requests. However, if the user profile Concurrent:Report Access Level is set to Responsibility, you can review the details of all requests submitted for the current responsibility and username.
2. Use the Order By poplist to specify the order in which you want your requests displayed.
To use the Requests window:
1. Move your cursor to the record that represents the request you want to examine in detail.
Each record shows you the the request ID, request name, phase and status of the request, as well as the parameters used by the request. If the request is part of a request set, the request ID for the parent request is provided in the Parent column.
From the Requests window you can Cancel a request or put it on hold if the status of the Request is pending. If the status is completed, you can view the output or the logs generated by the request. Lastly you can always review the details of the request submission.
2. Choose View Details...
