This appendix describes the concurrent programs in Oracle Contracts.
This appendix covers the following topics:
The tables in the following sections list the concurrent programs for Contract Terms Library, Contract Expert, and Repository.
For Oracle E-Business concurrent programs, the Restart Mode attribute indicates how a program can be restarted in case of system failure.
The Restart Mode can be one of four values:
Resumable: This program can be automatically restarted and can resume its processing at the point where it left off before the system failure.
Restartable: This program can be automatically restarted but will go back to the beginning of its processing.
Manual: An administrator must perform manual steps to restart this program.
Unknown: It is unknown whether this program can be restarted automatically or not. This value is the initial default setting.
Important: The Restart Mode for Oracle-provided programs should not be modified. If it were to be modified, the value may be overwritten without warning by future Oracle EBS software updates.
For more information about the Restart Mode, see the Oracle E-Business Suite Setup Guide.
For the following concurrent programs that are shipped with the Restart mode configured as Manual, administrators must restart the concurrent program post system failure.
Import Repository Contracts
Contracts Status Change by Contract
Contract Expert: Synchronize Templates
Contracts Auto Renewal
Renew a Single Contract
Caution: To initiate the child programs you must run the main program.
The following table lists the new concurrent programs for Contract Terms Library.

| Oracle Contracts Purge Routines | OKCPURGE | Use this program to purge data that is used in the application. Currently, purge of the following data is allowed through this program:
|
| Purge Repository Contracts | OKCREPPURGECP | Use this program to purge the repository contracts for a specific time period with any one or a combination of the following status: terminated, expired, rejected, or canceled. The mandatory parameters are: Operating Unit, Start Date, and End Date. |
The following table lists the concurrent programs for Contract Expert.
| Concurrent Program | Technical Name | Description |

| Contract Expert: Disable Rules | OKC_XPRT_DISABLE_RULES | Use this program to manually disable rules when the Automatic Rule Disabling concurrent program fails due to system or functional errors. |
| Contract Expert: Synchronize Templates | OKC_XPRT_REBUILD_TEMPLATES | Use this program to synchronize Question Prompt information (users can update the question prompt in Contract Expert) in the Contract Expert setup. |
The following table lists the concurrent programs for Repository.
