Hi,

What you are refering to is Registering/Defining Concurrent Programs. The basic
steps involved developing and using a concurrent programs could be summarised as
...(Please note that many of the steps below are huge steps, you could find out
more about them from AOL manuals. Almost each of these steps will require
further clarification and exploration in manuals..)

1.Develop the concurrent program. It could be a sql or pl/sql script or a call
to stored function/procedure/package etc. It could be another Oracle Tools like
Oracle Reports.(2.5 is the current one.).

In the following steps log in Application (found) as System Administrater.

2.Copy the appropriate executable code in the custom directory. Depending upon
the kind of program, the executable will go under $CUSTOM_TOP/sql or
$CUSTOM_TOP/srw or $CUSTOM_TOP/install/sql etc....
3.Use the navigation path /Navigate/Concurrent/Program/Executable to
register/define the concurrent program executable.(Under Character mode
applications)
4.Use the navigation path /Navigate/Concurrent/Program/Define to register/define
the concurrent program (Under Character mode applications)
5.While defining the Concurrent program itself(step 4 above), you could define
input parameters. You can validate the parameters by using value sets.
6.Add the this concurrent program to a report security group. I forgot the
navigation path. But it could be /Navigate/security/Report/Group or something
similar.
7.Now you are ready to go to appropriate responsibility and test your program.

Trick is to browse thru the Topical essays and then try out various forms and
functionality.

I have not given any navigation for value set related stuff. Basically you need
to find out a.how to define a value set and how to define values and how to
define Quick Codes.

I think this is as much as you can get via e-mail.

Thanks...
