CPADMIN is a&nbsp;menu-based utility that wraps multiple existing utilities for concurrent&nbsp;processes and allows you to work on several concurrent process-related tasks&nbsp;under a single menu.<\/p>\n<p>Newly released and user-friendly, CPADMIN is the replacement for the&nbsp;<strong>cmclean.sql<\/strong>&nbsp;script in EBS Release 12. This blog explores some features of&nbsp;CPADMIN and shows you how to use it to execute multiple tasks with a single&nbsp;command.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tasks handled by CPADMIN<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You can use CPADMIN for the following tasks:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>View manager status<\/strong>: This shows the status of all the managers. You can view all running concurrent manager (CM) statuses (with or without process IDs). The same status information is shown in the <strong>Administer Concurrent Managers&nbsp;<\/strong>form and on the Oracle Access Manager (OAM) <strong>Concurrent Managers<\/strong>&nbsp;page.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Clean concurrent processing tables<\/strong>: Helps clear concurrent processing (CP) tables and ensures CP tables are cleaned and reset for Internal Concurrent Manager (ICM) startup.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Set manager diagnostics<\/strong>: Sets CM diagnostics and lets you turn diagnostics on and off for specific managers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Control a manager or service<\/strong>: Sends a control request to a manager or service and starts, stops, or verifies an individual CM.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rebuild concurrent manager views<\/strong>: Rebuilds the CM views for&nbsp;<strong>Fnd\\_Concurrent\\_Worker\\_Requests<\/strong>&nbsp;and <strong>Fnd\\_Concurrent\\_CRM\\_Requests<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Analyze concurrent requests<\/strong>: &nbsp;Analyzes concurrent requests and prints out the details. This task was added in Oracle EBS 12.2.x.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Move request files<\/strong>: Changes the request log and output file locations. This task was added in Oracle EBS 12.2.x.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Steps to use CPADMIN<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Use the following steps to use the CPADMIN command-line utility to perform maintenance tasks:<\/p>\n<p><strong>NOTE:&nbsp;<\/strong>Screenshots are taken from Oracle EBS version 12.1.3.<\/p>\n<p>1. Set the environment.<\/p>\n<p>2. Run CPADMIN by executing the following command from any directory:<br \/>\n&nbsp; &nbsp;<em> &nbsp; &nbsp; $FND_TOP\/bin\/cpadmin.sh<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; The following screen displays:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/blog_article_images\/26514-body-Picture1_31.png\" alt=\"cpadmin pic 1\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>&nbsp;&lt;ol start=3&gt;<br \/>\n&nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;li&gt;Enter &lt;b&gt;1&lt;\/b&gt; to display the &lt;b&gt;Administer Concurrent Managers&lt;\/b&gt; menu,<br \/>\n&nbsp; &nbsp; as shown in the following image:&lt;\/li&gt;<br \/>\n&lt;\/ol&gt;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/blog_article_images\/26514-body-Picture2_20.png\" alt=\"cpadmin pic 2\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>&lt;ol start=4&gt;<br \/>\n&nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;li&gt;Choose the tasks to perform.

For Oracle EBS 12.2.x, this feature is already&nbsp;enabled.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>CPADMIN is an interesting tool that consolidates different CP management&nbsp;functions into a single menu-based tool. It is simple to use, and you can run&nbsp;it in PuTTY\u00ae to monitor the CM status and start or stop the manager from the&nbsp;backend. You don\u2019t need to open an application URL to monitor a CM or to start&nbsp;or stop the manager. With this tool, you can execute multiple tasks with a single&nbsp;command. CPADMIN replaces <strong>cmclean.sql<\/strong>, so use CPADMIN to perform&nbsp;that function. You can do multiple CP-related tasks from the backend, which you&nbsp;previously could not perform.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Introduction to CPADMIN<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":7843,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","nid":"26514","content_type":"blog","created_by":"10130","authored_on":"2024-01-18T14:55:28+00:00","field_article_industries":"","tag_category":"Technical","field_blog_author_text":"by Santosh Kumar, Oracle Applications Database Administrator, Rackspace Technology","seo_description":"Discover CPADMIN, a utility for simplifying concurrent processing tasks in Oracle E-Business Suite.
