Transaction Managers

Transaction Managers

The transaction managers execute the following processes:

·        Material Transaction:The material transaction manager immediately executes a material transaction after you save your changes in a transaction window. By starting the transaction manager, you can determine how to execute transactions: immediately through immediate concurrent request submissions, or through periodic concurrent request submissions. You define this transaction mode for individual transaction windows in the Personal Profile Values window.

·        Demand Reservation

·        Move Transaction:The move transaction manager processes move transactions in Oracle Work in Process and move transactions you import from devices such as portable bar code readers or your custom data entry forms using the Open Move Transaction Interface.You must start the move transaction manager so that assemblies received from an outside processing supplier can be moved to the next operation

·        Resource Cost Transaction:The resource cost transaction manager processes resource transactions in Oracle Work in Process and resource transactions you import from barcode readers, payroll systems, time cards, routing sheets, and custom data entry forms using the Open Resource Transaction Interface.

·        Material Cost Transaction:You must start the material cost transaction manager to cost material transactions. This manager processes costing of all material transactions.

The transaction managers run until you cancel the corresponding concurrent request. They control the number of transaction workers, processing intervals, and number of transactions processed by each worker during each interval.

You do not have to launch these transaction managers if you decide to process all your transactions on-line and do not use the transaction interface.

The use of multiple transaction workers enables parallel processing of transactions. This is especially helpful when processing a large batch of transactions.
