Provider synchronization scripts

Related topics
	Deprecated in Oracle9iAS Portal 9.0.2 due to the introduction of provider groups.

Oracle Portal 3.0 uses SNP background processes that synchronize provider data at specified regular intervals. The scripts consolidate routines that would otherwise be handled by multiple Oracle Portal programs running for each user process. There are two of these scripts: projbmng.sql and prormsyn.sql. SNP background processes execute job queues. You can schedule routines to be performed periodically using the job queue. To schedule a job, you submit it to the job queue and specify the frequency at which the job is to be run. You can also alter or delete jobs you have submitted. Use projbmng.sql to submit the synchronization job to the job queue and to the change the job interval. Note: For more information about SNP background processes, see Oracle8i Reference, Release 2 (8.1.6), Part Number A76961-01. Synchronization script name and description projbmng.sql Submits the Oracle Portal provider information synchronization job to the SNP job queue. Notes: If the job does not exist, run this script to submit the job. If the job already exists, run this script to change the interval in which this job is run. prormsyn.sql Removes the synchronization job from the SNP job queue.

Only an Oracle Portal schema owner can submit a provider synchronization script.
