 Compile APPS Schema

• For one reason or another you may have invalid objects

within your APPS schema
• When this occurs, running the Compile APPS schema task
spawns parallel workers to compile invalid database
objects in the APPS schema
• The output from the Validate APPS schema task
mentioned earlier will provide you with a list of invalid
objects
• You may perform this task with multiple workers

 Compile APPS Schema: When do you Run?

This task is most effective if run:

• When custom packages are moved to the APPS schema
and need to be compiled
• During the upgrade process

 Compile Menu Information

• This option compiles menu data structures

• Run this task:
– After uploading menu entries
– If Compile Security concurrent requests submitted from the
Menus form (after changing menu entries) fail
• AD Administration asks if you want to force compilation of
all menus
– If you choose the default of No, only menus with changes are
compiled
– If you enter Yes, all menus are compiled (this is generally not
needed)

 Compile Flexfield Data Option

Compile/Reload Applications Database Entities

-----------------------------------------------------
1. Compile APPS schema
2. Compile menu information

4. Reload JAR files to database
5. Return to Main Menu

 Compile Flexfield Data in Oracle AOL Tables

This task:
• Compiles flexfield data structures in Oracle Application
Object Library (AOL) tables
• Is not generally required, as flexfields automatically
compile the first time they are accessed
• Can be run:
– To avoid the one-time (minimal) performance impact on first
access
– To validate that flexfield data have no referential integrity
issues
• May also need to be run if specified by a patch README

 Compile Flexfield Data: Example

Enter your choice [5] : 3

Deleting existing compiled flexfield information.
Compiling all application flexfields.

Done.
Review the messages above, then press [Return] to

4. Reload JAR files to database
5. Return to Main Menu

 Reload JAR Files to Database

• This option runs the loadjava utility to reload all appropriate

Oracle E-Business Suite JAR files into the database
• Use this option if all Oracle E-Business Suite Java classes
have been removed from your database
– This can happen if your database becomes corrupt and the
database Java Virtual Machine is reloaded
