Conflict? What Conflict?

Sometimes you just have to RTFM - as in "Read the free manual". If you choose to do a Google search instead, chances are you'll be redirected to the free manual or a blog post that references the free manual. If you choose to do a search on My Oracle Support (I'm so used to calling it Metalink), you'll probably find a note that regurgitates contents from the free manual and/or makes a reference to the free manual. (Sometimes, as an added bonus, the same information is repeated in different free manuals). So, effectively, you end up Ring TFM!


Oracle eBusiness Suite comes with several seeded concurrent programs that have incompatibilities defined. The Conflict Resolution Manager (CRM) does it's thing to ensure that no conflicting programs run simultaneously. If you don't create your own conflict domains (a conflict domain is an abstract representation of the groupings used to partition your data), then you are limited to the seeded "Standard" conflict domain, which basically means that the incompatibility is global. However, to maximize the concurrency in a multiple organization environment, you can set up conflict domains for your operating units.
