After upgrade to ORA 19c, app engine that ran in under 3 min in 12c is now running indefinitely.
We have a custom app engine (PT 8.57) that used to run in under 3 min in ORA 12c and now that our hosting vendor upgraded to 19c, the program never ends.
Vendor has recommended that we add the following statement to the app engine:
alter session set optimizer_mode=RULE;
I was also told: The Rule based optimizer has been deprecated and is not used by any of the delivered PeopleSoft functionality. But since this is a customization, it was recommended that we incorporate this in the custom code.
We have concerns about adding this to our code.
Does anyone have any thoughts on disadvantages/issues that may arise from adding such statement to the app engine?
