MONITORDELAY Statement—Define the Time to Wait Before Checking the Status of Children Programs

The MONITORDELAY statement defines the number of seconds to wait after an Oracle Applications program completes before monitoring its children.

Note: When monitoring children, we recommend that you include this statement in your job definition to ensure the agent receives accurate information about the status of program children.

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:

MONITORDELAY seconds

seconds

Defines the number of seconds to wait after an Oracle E-Business Suite program completes before monitoring its children.

Limits: Up to six numeric digits

Example: 60

Notes:

• Your agent administrator can specify a default setting for all Oracle E-Business Suite jobs by setting the oa.default.monChildrenDelay parameter in the agent's agentparm.txt file.
• The MONITORDELAY statement overrides the default setting specified in the oa.default.monChildrenDelay parameter in the agent's agentparm.txt.
• The MONITORDELAY statement automatically monitors children, so you do not need to specify CHILDMONITOR Y. Even CHILDMONITOR N is overridden by the MONITORDELAY statement.
• When the MONITORDELAY 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.

Example: Delay Checking of Children Status in an Oracle E-Business Suite Single Request Job

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

Example: Delay Checking of Children Status 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.
