Schedule the concurrent program

Now we are going to schedule the concurrent program to run on a daily basis for two days.

How to do it...

To schedule the concurrent program do the following:

1. Log in to Oracle with the XXEBS Extending e-Business Suite responsibility.
2. Navigate to Submit Requests and submit a single request.
3. Select the XXHR First Concurrent Program concurrent program and leave the Run Date and Organization parameters set to their default values and click on OK:
   
4. Now click on the Schedule button. The screen dynamically changes when you click on each item of the Run the Job radio group.
5. Click Periodically.
6. Set Re-Run to every 1 Day(s).
7. Enter an End At value 2 days from the current date.
8. Check the Increment date parameters each run.

The steps are shown in the following screenshot:

1. Click on OK and the window will close.
2. Click on the Submit button and when prompted to submit a new request select No and the form will close down.
3. Navigate to View Requests and click on the Find button (to find all requests).
4. You should see that the concurrent program we just submitted has submitted two requests. The first will be set to run immediately and the second concurrent program is Pending with a status of Scheduled, as shown in the following screenshot:

You will notice that the date in the Parameters field has automatically been incremented because we checked the Increment date parameters each run checkbox.

How it works...

We have now scheduled our concurrent program for two days and the program will run automatically unless it is cancelled before the last run has completed.
