Launching Transaction Managers
The transaction managers execute the following processes: material transaction, demand reservation, move transaction, resource cost transaction, remote procedure call, and material cost transaction. These run at periodic intervals you specify until you delete them with the concurrent manager. They control the number of transaction workers, processing intervals, and number of transactions processed by each worker during each interval. For descriptions of the available managers see: Transaction Managers.
You must start the material cost transaction manager to cost material transactions. This manager processes costing of all material transactions. You must also start the move transaction manager so that assemblies received from an outside processing supplier can be moved to the next operation.
You do not have to launch these transaction managers if you decide to process all your transactions on-line and do not use the transaction interface.
The use of multiple transaction workers enables parallel processing of transactions. This is especially helpful when processing a large batch of transactions.
1. Select a transaction manager in the Interface Managers window.
2. Choose Launch Manager from the Special menu.
The Launch Inventory Managers window appears displaying the transaction manager you choose as the process to be submitted.
Note: If the transaction manager is already active, Oracle Inventory displays a warning before displaying the new window.
3. Select a resubmit level.
You can enter the start date and time to resubmit the transaction manager or an interval of time that the transaction manager polls the interface table for pending transactions.
To see your changes reflected in the Interface Managers window:
