This process help to bring down Concurrent Manager quickly and the pending jobs are preserved for running after the maintenance is complete.


1) Create table apps.conc_req_on_hold as select * from fnd_Concurrent_requests where PHASE_CODE='P' and hold_flag='N';
2) select count(*) from apps.conc_req_on_hold
3) update fnd_Concurrent_requests set hold_flag='Y' where PHASE_CODE='P' and hold_flag='N' and request_id in (select request_id from apps.conc_req_on_hold);

NOTE: You have to commit if select & update are same number of records. Otherwise rollback and try again till the numbers are same

4) Commit;

To Release hold on Concurrent Requests patching, run the below sql :

5) update fnd_Concurrent_requests set hold_flag='N' where request_id in (select request_id from apps.conc_req_on_hold);
