How Cisco Workload Automation Adapter for Oracle E-Business Suite Works
Installed on the Oracle E-Business forms server, the adapter is used to create request sets of E-Business Suite
jobs. To help prevent errors, the adapter comes pre-configured with lists of requests and report sets. The
adapter automatically brings up Oracle forms used to request jobs and define parameters. Workload Automation
variables can be added so that once created, report forms do not need to be accessed repeatedly to enter new
parameters. If, for instance, a report must run weekly or monthly, the form retains these parameters.
Dependencies can also be set and managed, and priorities and queues can be allocated. Abnormal behavior is
reported in the scheduler console to enable user intervention.
By leveraging the Oracle native scheduler, Workload Automation can support all Oracle process types, including
Oracle reports, procedural language/structured query language (PL/SQL) stored procedures, Java stored
procedures, Java concurrent programs, and SQL*Plus. Because the familiar Oracle request form is used and
reports have the same names and syntax as they do in Oracle E-Business Suite, users can be scheduling
Oracle jobs in minutes. Workload Automation and Oracle work as one integrated solution, even supporting non-
Oracle users who can input Oracle processes and run native Oracle jobs using the same Workload Automation
interface across multiple systems and applications environments.
