Oracle Applications, on the other hand, does not treat a request set as a whole. It assigns each request within the request
set an individual request ID number. The request ID number assigned by Oracle to the first request of a request set is
displayed in the Ext ID column (External ID) of the Job Activity pane. The ID numbers of each individual request are listed
on the Oracle Apps tab of the Job Detail dialog of the job.

To achieve control over individual requests and to assign dependencies to a single request within a request set, break
down the request set into separate requests for each job and organize the single requests into a job group in Scheduler.

Multi-Organization Access (MOAC)
Multi-Org or multiple organization access (MOAC) is the ability to access multiple operating units from a single
application responsibility.
application responsibility.
In Release 11i, you had to enter or process data for multiple operating units; you had to login to different responsibilities
because each responsibility could only access one operating unit. For example, if you were managing Payables for
Sweden, Norway, and Finland, you needed to define three different responsibilities. In Release 12, you can create a
Security Profile and assign as many operating units as you required. You can tie that security profile to a single
responsibility using a profile option called MO: Security Profile. For example, you can assign the security profile to the
EMEA Payables responsibility to allow that responsibility to process invoices across all three operating units.

The CWA Oracle Applications Adapter supports multiple organization access for Oracle Application Server R12 and later.

Terms to Know
Application
– Group of modules that perform a particular enterprise func- tion, such as Accounts Receivable,
Accounts Payable, General Ledger, etc.
Concurrent Manager
– Concurrent processing facility that monitors and runs your requests/processes/reports
without tying up the users terminal.
Concurrent Process
– Task that is in process in the concurrent manager. Each time you submit a task to the
concurrent manager, then a concurrent process is created to run that task. Many concurrent processes can be
running simultaneously without tying up the users terminal or requiring user intervention.
running simultaneously without tying up the users terminal or requiring user intervention.
Concurrent Queue
– The list of concurrent requests that are in the concurrent manager awaiting processing. The
concurrent manager can be set up to have multiple concurrent queues, each queue having its own list of concurrent
requests waiting for processing. Each Concurrent Request can be setup to run in specific queues or in any queue,
then the Concurrent Manager assigns the request to a Concurrent Queue accordingly.

Concurrent Request
– A request to run a process/report/job in the Concurrent Manager. Once a Concurrent
Request is submitted to the Concurrent Manager, then the Concurrent Manager takes over the processing of the
request without any intervention from the user or tying up the users terminal.

Internal Concurrent Manager (ICM)
– The ICM oversees all of the other worker concurrent managers and
assigns requests to the appropriate concurrent manager. The ICM monitors the health of the other concurrent
managers, restarting them if necessary, and follows the status of requests that run on the other worker concurrent
managers.

List of Values
– List of valid values available for a particular parameter in Oracle Applications.
Module
– Programs and/or procedures that implement a particular business function within an application, such as
forms/screens, reports, concurrent programs and subroutines.
