How to configure concurrent manager in a RAC environment?
Large clients commonly put the concurrent manager on a separate server now (in the middle tier) to reduce the load on the database server. The concurrent manager programs can be tied to a specific middle tier (e.g., you can have CMs running on more than one middle tier box). It is advisable to use specilize CM. CM middle tiers are set up to point to the appropriate database instance based on product module being used.
