INV Item Import Performance
Description:
Analytical report by item to predict performance of inventory item load background processes. If the number of items processed per second is decreasing with increasing total items processed, then the interface SQLs are most likely using a wrong nonselective index and should be corrected.
Parameters
Past Days, Min Total Item Count
Used tables
mtl_system_items_b, fnd_concurrent_requests, fnd_concurrent_programs_tl
Categories

FND Attached Documents, FND Concurrent Requests 11i
Dependencies
If you would like to try one of these Oracle EBS SQLs without having Blitz Report installed, note that some of the reports require functions from utility package xxen_util.

INV Item Import Performance - Case Study & Technical Analysis
Executive Summary
The INV Item Import Performance report is a technical diagnostic tool used by DBAs and Developers. It analyzes the throughput of the Item Import Interface (INCOIN) to identify performance degradation. If the “Items Processed Per Second” metric drops as the volume increases, it typically indicates a missing index or a non-selective index on the interface tables.
Business Use Cases
- Performance Tuning: Used during data migration or large catalog updates to ensure the system can handle the load.
- SLA Monitoring: Verifies that the nightly item feed from the PLM system is completing within the batch window.
- Root Cause Analysis: Helps pinpoint why the “Item Import” concurrent request is taking 5 hours instead of 5 minutes.
Technical Analysis
Core Tables
MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_INTERFACE: The interface table (implied source of the metrics).FND_CONCURRENT_REQUESTS: Used to track the start/end time and status of the import jobs.MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_B: The target table.
Key Joins & Logic
- Throughput Calculation:
Items Per Second=Total Items Processed/ (Request End Time-Request Start Time). - Trend Analysis: The report looks for a negative correlation between volume and speed.
Key Parameters
- Past Days: How far back to analyze the concurrent request history.
- Min Total Item Count: Filter out small test batches to focus on bulk loads.
Oracle E-Business Suite Reporting Library
We provide an open source Oracle EBS SQLs as a part of operational and project implementation support toolkits for rapid Excel reports generation.
Blitz Report™ is based on Oracle EBS forms technology, and hence requires minimal training. There are no data or performance limitations since the output files are created directly from the database without going through intermediate file formats such as XML.
Blitz Report can be used as BI Publisher and Oracle Discoverer replacement tool. Standard Oracle BI Publisher and Discoverer reports can also be imported into Blitz Report for immediate output to Excel. Typically, reports can be created and version tracked within hours instead of days. The concurrent request output automatically opens upon completion without the need for re-formatting.
The Filters, Columns, Rows and Values fields are used to create and deliver the data in pivot table format with full drill down to details.

The Excel template upload functionality in Blitz Report allows users to create their own layouts by uploading an Excel template with additional sheets and charts, automatically refreshed when the report runs again. This allows to create custom dashboards and more advanced visualizations of report data.

You can download and use Blitz Report free of charge for your first 30 reports.
The installation and implementation process usually takes less than 1 hour; you can refer to our installation and user guides for specific details.
If you would like to optimize your Oracle EBS implementation and or operational reporting you can visit www.enginatics.com to review great ideas and example usage in blog. Or why not try for yourself in our demo environment.
