Script : Generate SQL using a script which will produce the source code for a function /view /package via Metadata

By Zafar

As an Oracle developer, many times we want to quickly check the code of a given function/view/package or a package body to see the current code in the database may be as an output of a given SQL.

Take example of an object AP_INVOICES_PKG where we want to check the output 

SELECT    'select dbms_metadata.get_ddl('''

       || object_type

       || ''','''

       || object_name

       || ''') from dual;'

  FROM all_objects

 WHERE object_name = 'AP_INVOICES_PKG'

       AND object_type NOT IN ('PACKAGE BODY');

The above SQL will give an output as below

select dbms_metadata.get_ddl('PACKAGE','AP_INVOICES_PKG') from dual;

And when we run this SQL , we will get an output which is nothing but the code for package spec and package body for ap_invoices_pkg.

In Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS), managing the performance and scheduling of concurrent programs is crucial to ensuring efficient processing and optimal resource usage. One of the features available to help manage this is the "Run Alone" flag. This setting allows administrators to control how a specific concurrent program is executed, especially when running alongside other programs. In this blog, we’ll explore what the "Run Alone" flag does, why it’s important, and best practices for its use. What is the "Run Alone" Flag? The "Run Alone" flag is a setting available in the Concurrent Program definition in Oracle EBS. When this flag is enabled, it restricts the concurrent program from running alongside other concurrent programs on the same concurrent manager. In essence, it tells Oracle EBS that this program must run exclusively, with no other concurrent requests processed until it completes. How to Set the "Run Alone" Flag You can enabl...
