Difference between request set and request group in oracle apps

In this post , We will be discuss about Difference between request set and request group in oracle apps. Both Request set and the request group have relation with Concurrent programs but both works differently in oracle apps.As we can say , Request group helps to put more control or user access/Security in oracle apps where as request set is the combination of concurrent program. Here below we will describe the Difference between request set and request group in oracle apps.

What is Request Set in Oracle Apps 

Request set is the collection of multiple concurrent program in oracle apps. If we want to run the collection of concurrent program in particular sequences every time , then we combine these concurrent programs under one request set. Using Request set , we don't need to run the each concurrent programs but we only need to execute the single request set. 

What is Request Group in Oracle Apps 

Request group helps to put the execution control on the Concurrent Programs and the Request Set. Request Group we do assign to Oracle Responsibilities and in request group , We do assign concurrent program and the request set. what ever the concurrent program and the request set we have assigned to request group , that responsibility can execute only those concurrent program and the request set. 

Request group in oracle apps, helps to provide and maintain the access control for concurrent requests. Without request group, we cannot access any report or concurrent request, or request set in oracle apps. We know that, we do access the concurrent programs as a concurrent request in oracle apps but to get the access on concurrent requests, We need to attach the concurrent requests with Request group and then in the end need to attach the request group with Oracle responsibility.

Steps to create the Request Group in Oracle apps.

Step1:- For Example , we only want to give the access of Trial Balance report for One Responsibility so for this , I am creating this below Request Group.

Security è Responsibility è Request

Enter the name of the Request Group ‘ XX_TRIAL_REPORT’

Select the application ‘General Ledger’

In Requests , select the Type ‘Program’ and Select the Concurrent Program ‘Trial Balance’. If you want to provide some other reports access then you need to create a new line in the requests and select the another concurrent program.

Save the details and the Request Group has been created.

Step2:- In this step , We will attach the Newly created request group in above step to Oracle responsibility.

Go To Security è Responsibility è Define.

Step 4:- As highlighted below , We have select the request group under the responsibility to provide the access to run the ‘Trial Balance’ report to this Responsibility.

Further , We will attach or assign this responsibility to User.
