CHILDMONITOR Statement—Specify Whether to Monitor the Children of Programs (Oracle E-Business Suite Jobs)

The CHILDMONITOR statement specifies whether the children of the Oracle Applications programs are monitored. Program children are programs that are released by the parent program.

Supported Job Types

This statement is optional for the following job types:

• Oracle E-Business Suite Copy Job
• Oracle E-Business Suite Request Set
• Oracle E-Business Suite Single Request

Syntax

This statement has the following format:

CHILDMONITOR Y|N

Y

Specifies that the children of the Oracle E-Business Suite programs are monitored.

N

Specifies that the children of the Oracle E-Business Suite programs are not monitored.

Notes:

• Up to five levels of children can be monitored for each job.
• Your agent administrator can specify a default setting for all Oracle E-Business Suite jobs by setting the oa.default.monChildren parameter in the agentparm.txt file of the agent.
• The CHILDMONITOR statement overrides the default setting specified in the oa.default.monChildren parameter in the agentparm.txt file of the agent.
• When monitoring children, include the MONITORDELAY statement in your job definition so the agent receives accurate information about the status of program children.
• When the CHILDMONITOR statement is defined in an Oracle E-Business Suite Request Set job, the setting is applied to all of the programs in the request set. You cannot specify a different setting for each program.
• The CHILDMONITOR statement is ignored when Y or N is omitted.

Example: Monitor the Children of a Program in an Oracle E-Business Suite Single Request Job

In this example, the children of the single request program are monitored. The agent checks the status of the program's children 60 seconds after the program completes.

Example: Monitor the Children of a Program in an Oracle E-Business Suite Copy Job

Suppose that you want to copy an existing single request defined on Oracle Applications. In this example, the job copies the single request with request ID 2255470 and overrides the user name and responsibility name. The children of the single request program are monitored 60 seconds after the program completes.
