Overview

The concurrent program OKS_RENCON belongs to the OKS – Service Contracts module of Oracle E-Business Suite and is presented to users under the name Service Contracts Renewal Consolidation. As its title indicates, the program is designed to consolidate renewal activity within the service contracts lifecycle. In service contract operations, multiple renewal lines, opportunities, or candidate contracts frequently accumulate against a parent contract or a service agreement. The Renewal Consolidation program groups and reconciles these renewal elements so that downstream renewal processing, pricing, and quoting operate against a unified, deduplicated set of renewal records rather than fragmented entries.

The documented ETRM metadata records this program with Enabled: No. This status is significant. A disabled concurrent program cannot be submitted or scheduled from the standard request submission flow until it is explicitly enabled by an administrator. Organizations running ETRM on Oracle EBS 12.1.1 or 12.2.2 should therefore verify the enabled flag before expecting renewal consolidation to run as part of any batch or request set.

Execution Details

The ETRM documentation specifies the following execution metadata for OKS_RENCON:

  • Execution Method: PL/SQL Stored Procedure
  • Argument Method: Standard
  • Executable: OKSRENCON
  • Execution Filename: OKS_RENCON_PVT.SUB
  • Subroutine Name: (not specified in the documented metadata)

Because the execution method is a PL/SQL Stored Procedure, the program invokes packaged PL/SQL logic at runtime rather than a report or host script. The execution filename OKS_RENCON_PVT.SUB points to the OKS private package that encapsulates the consolidation logic. The Standard argument method indicates that parameters are passed to the procedure in the conventional positional manner defined by the executable registration.

How to Run

Users submit OKS_RENCON through the standard Submit Request (SRS) window in Oracle EBS, typically navigating from the Service Contracts responsibility. The program appears by its user-facing name, Service Contracts Renewal Consolidation. No specific parameters are documented in the ETRM excerpt; with the Standard argument method, any parameters defined on the concurrent program's parameter form are expected to be entered at submission time. In the absence of documented parameter definitions, the safest guidance is to review the actual parameter form in the target instance before scheduling. Administrators must first confirm the program is enabled, then add it to a request set or schedule it according to the desired consolidation frequency.

Related Objects

As a Service Contracts renewal utility, OKS_RENCON is associated with the OKS renewal schema objects, including the OKS service contract and renewal interface tables and the OKS public APIs used for contract and renewal maintenance. It is commonly referenced alongside other OKS renewal-related concurrent programs and request sets that drive the renewal lifecycle. Because the documented metadata does not enumerate specific interface tables, implementers should trace dependencies through the OKS_RENCON_PVT package to confirm the exact tables and APIs involved in a given release level (12.1.1 or 12.2.2).
