I was think of the high recursive SQL counts... If this new process uses a
view, and has to parse it, be aware that the View definitions will not be
found in the shared pool and this may drive recursive (SYS) SQL calls to get
this information. If this connects to the APPS user rather than directly to
schema owner, the former would access it via the view in APPS while the
latter will not require a view (and possibly reduce recursive calls?)

Look at something like OAM (Oracle Applications Manager) that could have
been configured by your Apps SysAdmins - this will go against the AOL/FND
tables a large number of times depending on the frequency. Or some other
DBAs who has configured some other Gooey-Tool!

Yes - good one to check! [This underscores the need for a strict change
control procedure]

I would hold off changes to "_" parameters until you find out the cause of
the problem, as you may be hiding the actual debilitating change...

Best of luck!
