How to Run Posting (GLPPOS), or other concurrent programs from the Command line?
You can run any GL program from the command line. Follow these steps:
1) Verify that you run this at a time when there are no incompatible Programs running. To find the incompatible programs:
Responsibility = System Administrator
GUI Navigation = Concurrent/Program/Define
Query on GLPPOS in the Short Name field.
Click on the Incompatibilities button.
2) Change the profile “Concurrent Hold Request” to Yes.
Responsibility = System Administrator
GUI Navigation = Profile/System
Query on the profile option ‘Concurrent Hold Requests’.
Set it to Yes at the User level and Save.
3) Select a journal batch for posting. The request will be put on hold.
Responsibility = General Ledger Super User
GUI Navigation = Journals/Post
4) Go to the Concurrent Requests form and get the parameters for the Posting concurrent process.
The parameters for posting are:
set of books id
chart of accounts id
posting_run_id
5) Run posting from the command line.
$GL_TOP/bin/GLPPOS <username/pwd> 0 Y <parameters> X 2> <File name>
Where: <username/pwd> : apps username and password
<parameters> : The parameters for the program, separated by spaces. For NULL parameters you need to specify closed double quotes (“”).
X : Indicates that you want to run the program in debug mode. This can be any character and is optional.
2> <File name> : Use this to redirect standard errors and output to a file. File name is the output file name it will create. It will be created in your current directory, if a full path is not specified. This is optional
but recommended.
Example:
If you go to the concurrent requests form and see in the Parameters field: 1,101,2546, you would enter the following command at the Unix prompt:
$GL_TOP/bin/GLPPOS <username/pwd> 0 Y 1 101 2546 X 2> <myfile.txt>
6) Change the profile option ‘Concurrent Hold Requests’ back to its original setting. Be sure to run the program from a directory for which you have write Privileges. That is where the log and out files will be created.
Also make sure that you are in the proper application environment.
Here is an example of the command and the output you will see.
$>$GL_TOP/bin/GLPPOS apps/apps 0 Y 8 50128 84 2 2> njpost2.out
DEBUG: started in debug_mode……
$> ls
L54536.log L54540.log O54536.out O54540.out njpost.out post.out
L54538.logL54542.log O54538.out O54542.out njpost2.out test
$> more njpost2.out
Log filename : L54542.log
Report filename : O54542.out
glpmai() fnd_user_id is -1
glpmai() fnd_user_name is ANONYMOUS
glpmai() req_id is 0
