This section provides information about configuring certain Oracle Financial Services applications for application multiprocessing through the Process Tuning User Interface.

Note: The Process Tuning User Interface is available for definition ONLY for a User who has a role mapping of Administrator or Auditor. The Auditor role mapped user has READ-ONLY access to the Process Tuning UI.

Both the Asset Liability Management (ALM) and Funds Transfer Pricing (FTP) applications involve processing large quantities of data and the goal of all customers is to reduce processing time so they have more time to focus on the analysis of the results. Generally, the process execution window is closely related to the volume of data it operates on, underlying metadata definitions, in-memory calculations, processing individual calculation elements/selections (for example, transfer pricing method, propagation, account-level cash flows, financial elements), and so on. To achieve optimal performance, application Process Tuning allows application administrators to specify thenumber of concurrent subprocesses to launch for each application process that is initiated and also allows users to define how to slice the data for each subprocess. This process is described in the following sections.

The following are the basic guidelines,that must be considered to achieve optimal performance.
