Title: RE: Concurrent Manager





But every time I open an ITar, Support freaks because we have ours configured with the managers on the middle tier (Windows might be the issue, but that isn't usually when they balk) and not on the database tier...

and if you do a 2 tier install (at least as of 11.5.5) it assumes you want the CM on the database tier...

You are absolutely correct for Apps 11.0.x and before. And I'm not saying
that some performance is not lost due to network latency for some ConcMgr
programs.


But it ain't as bad as it used to be, because of the steady migration away
from chatty PRO*C and Reports code to more network-friendly stored
procedures.


At this point, you have to decide where to take your lumps: in
manageability by bucking the suggested configuration, or in ConcMgr
performance...

 Hemant,
 
 That configuration was usual for Apps 11.0.x and prior, but with 11i it is
 strongly recommended to take the default configuration and leave the ConcMgr
 on the apps-tier instread of the db-tier.
 
 Two major reasons:
 
 * The gains in manageability (especially upgrades) far outweigh the
 incremental (possible) loss in performance. For tuning, tune the SQL, don¹t
 assume its network. For example, upgrading the db-tier is now a snap, as
 compared to performing such an upgrade for 10.7 or 11.0.x...
 
 * There is not as much network back-and-forth in 11i batch programs and
 reports as there used to be. Enormous numbers of stored procedures and
 packages are now being used, making the ConcMgr programs much less ³chatty².
 By way of example, I recently performed a ³utlirp.sql² run as part of an
 RDBMS upgrade for Oracle Financials 11.0.3 (from 8.0.5 to 8.1.7) and about
 30,000 compiled objects were invalidated and then recompiled. In contrast,
 I recently also performed the same ³utlirp.sql² for an 11.5.8 Financials
 upgrade (from 8.1.7 to 9.2.0) and just under 200,000 compiled objects where
 invalidated then recompiled.
 
 Again, everything is a trade-off. You might incur some loss due to network
 latency, but is network latency the biggest problem to pay attention to?
 
 Just another example of how the only constant is change...

Hi ,
In Oracle Apps why concurrent manager and report 
server 
should be indatabase tier when other 
application servers 
are in application tier.?

Thx



RE: Concurrent Manager

2003-10-09 Thread April Wells



Not sure why you would necessarily want the reports server on the 
database tier... Concurrent managers wake up periodically (like 60 or 90 
seconds), query their tables to see if there are any jobs to run... run them if 
there are and then go back to sleep. If they are all on the same tier, the 
throughput is faster, and there is no network overhead. The more 
concurrent jobs that you have, the more that this has the potential to become an 
issue.

Also, the database maintains the status of the concurrent managers (are 
they up, is it their work shift, are they sleeping...) and if the communication 
gets off (for example if you shut down the database, then something happens on 
the CM tier (Windows is good at things weirding out with the CM) to shut down 
the managers, then bring up the database... the database thinks the managers are 
up, they aren't, then sometimes when you try to start the managers, they won't 
because the database thinks they already are... and you have to run CMCLEAN to 
make the database forget the old status.

WE have our concurrent managers on the apps tier, and are working towards 
migrating them to the database tier because performance is so 
horrendous.
