The Database Resource Manager introduced in Oracle8i is used to allocate and manage resources among database users and applications.
Resource consumer groups and resource plans provide a method for specifying how to partition processing resources among different users. A resource consumer group defines a set of users who have similar resource usage requirements. An overall resource plan specifies how resources are distributed among the different resource consumer groups.
Oracle E-Business Suite allows the system administrator to assign individual Oracle E-Business Suite users to resource consumer groups. In addition, concurrent programs and concurrent managers can be assigned to resource consumer groups.
Note: These resource consumer groups apply to CPU resources only.
