Background Processing in Oracle Learning

Several background learning processes handle data-intensive operations. You can run some of these processes on demand using various Learning actions. You schedule others depending on your earning environment.

Learning has four categories of background processing:

• Processes that Learning automatically schedules, such as rebuilding and optimizing indexes, having decided the best time to run them. We recommend that you keep our schedules for these processes. If you don't use the corresponding features, you can cancel these processes. If you later decide to use them, you need to reschedule the processes using our frequency.

  To see these processes, you need permissions that let you view processes submitted by others.

• Processes you manually schedule depending on your Learning environment. For example, when you integrate with external content providers, you need to load and sync their content. Configuration procedures for relevant learning objects include information about what processes to schedule and the recommended intervals.
• Processes that you can run as needed, such as reconciling learning rich media.
• Processes that run automatically when you perform certain learning actions. For example, on the Import External Content page, when you click Submit, the Import External Learning Content process starts running.

To manually schedule and run as needed, use the Scheduled Processes tool.
