Automatically Refresh Transaction Statuses

The Refresh Transaction Administrator Console Transaction Status scheduled process automatically runs every hour. It refreshes the statuses on the Transaction Manager: Transactions page in the Transaction Console work area.

Hourly is the recommended frequency, and it should be enough, especially since you can just refresh using the Refresh icons on the page. But if you really need to, say due to an extraordinary volume of transactions, you can submit the process to run on a more frequent schedule.

• Be careful if you do this, because you are adding load to the queue of all scheduled processes. Consider if that potential performance impact is really warranted.
• If your manually submitted process has any scheduled runs that overlap with the automatic hourly ones, your process would run instead of the automatic one.
• The automatic process still runs whenever there’s no overlap with your process.
• The time it takes for the process to finish depends on the volume of transactions, but it usually ends in minutes. So if it’s taking hours or longer, something is most likely wrong.

To run this scheduled process, you need a custom job role that has the Perform HCM Approval Transaction Actions (PER_PERFORM_APPROVAL_TRANSACTION_ACTIONS_PRIV) privilege. If you can access transactions on the Transaction Manager: Transactions page, you already have this privilege.
