-- Gather schema statistics for CBO
Release 12 employs cost-based optimization, which examines FND table statistics to determine the most
efficient access paths and join
methods for executing SQL statements. These statistics are gathered by the FND_STATS process, which
you initiate by running the
Gather Schema Statistics concurrent program.
From your Release 11i APPL_TOP, complete the following steps:
1. Log in to Oracle Applications with the System Administrator responsibility.
2. Navigate to the Submit Request window (Request > Run).
3. Submit the Gather Statistics program. (Schema)
