ubmitting Future Requests Via Package

nd_request.submit_requeststed Feb 26, 2014, 4:00 PM by Jay Tracewell [ updated Feb 26, 2014, 4:05 PM ]

ere are many blogs on using fnd_request.submit_request to create a concurrent job, but there aren't very many

w the package handles or expects the "start_date" parameter to be handled and Oracle's documentation is unc

ou create a procedure where you declare a date variable, populate it and call the package like is shown below:

declared_request_start_date DATE;

...

d_request_start_date := to_date ('02272014 2055', 'MMDDYYYY HH24MI') ;

...

n_request_id := fnd_request.submit_request(

pplication => 'WSH'

program => 'WSHPSRS'

,start_time => d_request_start_date

...

u will successfully create a concurrent request in your system, but the start of that concurrent request will be 2

-2014 at 00:00:00 - the d_request_start_date has failed to properly capture the time you assigned to this (20

e DATE variable only captures the date (no timestamp); timestamp is only captured for DATE datatypes when s

a table column.

_request.submit_request will, however, accept varchar text as input for start_date (the input parameter is dec

varchar) and will cast this as a date and time. Thus, if you send properly formatted text in this field, you'll rec

uest with both the date and time that you require. A full example of a working procedure is below that starts

uest on a specific day and time and repeats it every week at that time:
