Important Features of Enterprise Scheduling Services in Oracle Fusion Applications

-------------------------------------------------------------------
This blog post contains few points which I learnt through my experience while working in Fusion Apps Customization.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
ESS(Enterprise Scheduling Services) is one of the Key technology used in Oracle Fusion Apps, which is a scheduling system similar to the Concurrent Request and Concurrent Manager in Oracle E-Business Suite.

ESS consist of 2 parts:

• ESS Job and
• ESS Job Sets 

There are various types of ESS Jobs, like 

1. PlSql JobType
2. Java JobType
3. C JobType and many more

We can execute the ESS Jobs using a Webservice call to essService or by calling through a DB procedure in ESS Metadatastore.

 

The Metadata Repository Schema for ESS jobs is FUSION_ORA_ESS and the main base tables for checking ESS Job Status is REQUEST_HISTORY.

 
Please help with suggestions over the post. I am planning to add one more post with few more details over ESS Job Creation using JDeveloper and Deployments.
