11)What is the significance of FND_INSTALL_PROCESSES and AD_DEFERRED_JOBS tables?
Ans: FND_INSTALL_PROCESSES and AD_DEFERRED_JOBS tables are created and Dropped during the 'adadmin' and 'adpatch' sessions.
Both AD utilities (adpatch/adadmin) access the same tables to store the workers details, so both FND_INSTALL_PROCESSES and
AD_DEFERRED_JOBS tables need to be dropped from the failed adpatch session ,so that adadmin/adpatch session can run successfully next time.
