Question:
What makes up the added value in OR MerchandiseAnalytics over ORDW?
Both offer extraction layer, staging layer, datamart layer, aggregate layer, OBIEE + prebuilt reports.
I want to know how the fact extraction layer on ORMS etc. is done using ODI. Unfortunately I see no CDC/Streams approach, that we have chosen to use for our extensions to the ORDW datamodel. Is the extraction logic more or less a rebuild of the good old Pro*C DWI programs?
Some points:
- More products have been connected to ORMA, additional to RMS: ReIM, ReSA, ORMFP, ORPM.
- ORMA has had an technology update for the ETL, from OR-only's custom RETL to the more general Oracle ODI (formerly Sunopsis).
- Is it the promised/future integration of one set of conformed dimension reused and shared over all other to-be OR analytics products? (Like Marketing, Planning, Supply Chain, Stores).
- ORMA offers 'Dashboards' - may be straightforward to make in RDW-OBIEE?
- ORMA offers multiple timeviews, where base RDW only offers AsWas (SCD2) - bsiness users may appreciate the AsIs view, and PIT.
Cherio,
Erik

According to the RMS13.2 release notes (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12448_01/rms/pdf/rms_rfm_br/132/rms-132-rn.pdf), RETL and all RETL based interfaces to ORDW are desupported from 13.2!
“Discontinued Support for Oracle Retail Data Warehouse (RDW) Interfaces
A new analytical application is in development. Because of this strategic decision, support for interface between Oracle Retail applications and Oracle Retail Data Warehouse has been discontinued for Oracle Retail 13.2 releases. Oracle Retail Extract, Transform, and Load (RETL) extract scripts for RDW are not supported for use with Oracle Retail 13.2 applications and databases.”
That makes things a lot clearer!

Re: Oracle Retail Merchandise Analytics released

Hi,
I just started with Oracle Retail Analytics User guide document (ra133_ug.pdf) . While perusing the reports category in Merchandising Analytics, Inventory Scorecard ,Inventory Alert and type of the report is “Current Location Weeks of supply warning”(page no:51).
Whether it is pointing the number of quantities in the X axis graph or the weeks involved?
It is showing as weeks but numbers displayed are huge.
Could you please clarify?
Thanks
Sankar.

Hi Elmar,
I have checked the packages and the XFree86-libs-4.3.99 is not installed. I guess I will have to install it.
Now your question about oracle user. I am not sure if you have performed any SAP MDM installation with ORACLE RDBMS but the installation guide is totally different than the normal SAP inst guides. Indeed someone needs to install separately SAP MDM and ORACLE and in my installation I do not install NetWeaver since it is not mandatory for the testing phase of the project. You can have a look at the guide (it is very poor -no reference to ORACLE details):
https://websmp105.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700000271882007E
So the official ORACLE inst gudie says to install the ORACLE software with the oracle user.
Rgds,
Louka

Replacing Oracle OFA with Enterprise Planning and Budget or Hyperion

I'm looking at replacing OFA with EPB. Does this option still exist or has Oracle
phased it out?

Hi,
Oracle Hyperion Planning is the way forward and is the budgeting and planning tool of choice for Oracle.
So if you are going to make an investment I would go for Hyperion Planning.
Cheers

Oracle Retail Products Installation and Implementation

Can individual modules like Oracle Retail Allocation be used as standalone Products, without installing Oracle RMS?
The following point is mentioned in the Oracle® Retail Merchandising Implementation Guide Release 13.2.4 E28940-01
"RMS owns virtually all of the information that Oracle Retail Allocation needs to operate and the information that Oracle Retail Allocation provides is of primary interest/use for RMS. As a result Oracle Retail Allocation has limited interaction with other Oracle Retail Merchandising Operations Management applications. For Oracle Retail Merchandising
Operations Management applications that Oracle Retail Allocation does interact with it is managed through direct reads from Oracle Retail Merchandising Operations Management application tables, direct calls to Oracle Retail Merchandising Operations Management packages, and Oracle Retail Allocation packages based on Oracle Retail Merchandising Operations Management application tables."
So, for implementing Oracle Retail Allocation, is Oracle RMS mandatory?

My understanding is yes.
The text you provided indicates that Allocations does not directly communicate with other modules, such as SIM, but instead does so via RMS. When you install RMS without Alloc, you actually get a lot of the database tables & DB package code for Alloc. This gives some indication as to the level of dependency that Alloc has on having RMS installed.

Oracle Retail and Siebel Customer Order Management

Looking into a solution to handle Franchisee ordering.
Customer currently has Oracle retail to handle supplier purchase orders and PeopleSoft to handle the accounts payable. They currently have a custom built tool to handle franchisees.
Would Siebel Customer Order Management interface well with Oracle Retail, in terms of merchandising and supplier purchase order consolidation? Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks.

Not being able to answer all of your questions, however if I do understand ok your question re. 'standalone', there should be no need for setting up EBS if you already have Oracle Retail RMS/RPM - there is a direct, standard, feed from RPM to ORPOS. You may like to check the Oracle Retail merchandising integration guide, it does have a chapter on RMS/RPM - ORPOS/BO/CO integration.
Best regards,
Erik

Oracle Retail Analytics

Hi,
i would like to setup the Standard reports of Oracle Retail Analytics in OBIEE
can anyone explain, how do i get the data from RMS(Oracle retail merchandising system) to Retail Analytics,
and the sequence of batch files needs to be executed for populating the Retail Analytics tables.
how can i get to know the mapping between RMS to Retail Analytics.
Regards,
Prasanthi

Hi Prasanthi,
RA uses ODI jobs to extract data from RMS. There are 3 stages/sequences of batches need to be executed to get the data into RA DB.
You can refer to RA documents ( Operation guide, data model ). Operation guide will give information about SDE's and SDE batches are used to extract data from RMS side.
To load the complete data from RMS to RA, users has to perform the below:
run SDE batches -> SIL batches -> PLP batches.
Thanks,
Savitha

Oracle Retail 13.1 released

As can be seen on http://edelivery.oracle.com , the installers and documentation of Oracle Retail 13.1 have been released.
This was also announced for June 2009 by Duncan Angove on CrossTalk.
No press release I have been able to locate yet. On Metalink the search term "13.1 release value proposition retail" delivers about 10 documents describing the key product enhancements.
The release notes in the installers have of course more detail.
There seem to be quite a number of important new features out there - both functonal and technical (RIB has been dramatically enhanced in the AIA/SOA direction!)
Who provides the first overview of this exciting new release?
(And what I like to know is of what 13.0.x release the 13.1 has been drawn from.)

When to prefer Financial Plan Vs Form base budgets? Adv and Dis-advantage?

Hello Experts,
Can any one explain me the difference between Oracle projects financial plan vs oracle projects form based budgets?
What is advantages of each of them and when to provide preference over each other?
is it possible to use both of them simltaneously?
Does forecasting functionality available in both of them?
Need insight on this
Thanks
will Really appreciate ur response.
Thanks

Hi
Form based budgets are the only supported budgets for Budgetary Control and integration of project budget with GL budget.
If you are not using those functions, there is no advantage for the form based budget.
With financial plan you can load budgets using Web ADI.
You can use more robust resource lists.
You can use multi currency amounts
You can generate budgets and forecasts based on various sources like workplans, actuals, commitments and any customized logic using client extension.
You can report on financial plans using the HTML project performance reporting.
You can rollup budgets and forecasts amounts on a program.
Summarizations are done immediately and you don't need to run a batch process.

Is a JSP Tag Library providing Oracle Financial look and feel available

We are going to use Oracle Financial as part of our future application.
That is why other parts of it (which we plan to develop using JDeveloper)
have to have the same Look and Feel.
Is a JSP Tag Library that provides Oracle Financial Look and Feel available?

Oracle Applications use BC4J, UIX, and JDeveloper.
The UIX framework implements the Oracle "Browser Look And Feel" (BLAF) that our Oracle Applications self-service applications use.
The UIX JSP tag library lets JSP developers do the same.

I purchased a Maxx at FULL retail price (out of contract) to keep my unlimited data. An unauthorized/illegal change was made to the plan and all VZW could do was offer me $20 in credit.

As the title says:
I purchased a Droid Maxx at full retail price (approximately $540) to keep my grandfathered unlimited data. An unauthorized/illegal change was made by my younger sister (who is not an account manager and stole the information from my mom) to the plan and I was not notified within the 14-day closing period to revert the changes. For the record, both my mom and I are account managers, my younger sister is not.
I went in to my account (and changed all the information) and found out that when changes are made to the account online, you have to send an authorization text to one of the phones--however, you can send this authorization to ANY of the phones on the plan, so my sister sent it to hers (instead of an account managers).
So, the only reason I found out about this change to my plan was via a text message telling me I was "approaching max data," which of course should not happen with unlimited data. My younger sister did not tell anyone she made the changes.
When I found out about two (nearly three) weeks ago, I called Verizon to open a ticket about it. They did, said they would call/text me back a few days later--they didn't. One week later I made another phone call to see what the status on that ticket was--the rep said that the other rep was supposed to call me, but didn't, and so he pushed the ticket again. Lo and behold, another week later, still no response from VZW about the ticket. So I called again only to find out that the request to revert the data plan back to unlimited had been denied.
I spoke with that representative for nearly 40 minutes and all she could offer was some unwanted advice about what to do about my sister's behavior or that "I'm so sorry that someone would do that." I told her I wasn't looking for consolation, but for a compromise on either getting my unlimited data back, or refunding the difference between contract and full-retail price of the phone. I threatened to leave VZW because of this and all she could offer was a measly $20 credit.
I have filed a BBB complaint against Verizon Wireless for this issue as an illegal change that goes unnoticed past the 14-day closing period should be addressed in a more urgent manner.
I have also reached out on Reddit and Twitter, because obviously calling the VZW support does nothing to alleviate my situation. I am very dissatisfied with how VZW is handling an illegal and fraudulent change on my account that has shafted me out of 500 dollars.

You seam to be focusing your anger at Verizon and not your sister. Verizon followed the rules and required IDs and passwords to access the wireless account. You and/or your mother are supposed to safeguard that information. Your sister has committed the felony by stealing your mothers identity for personal gain.
You say "I am very dissatisfied with how VZW is handling an illegal and fraudulent change on my account that has shafted me out of 500 dollars.' My question to you is who made the illegal and fraudulent change to your account? Verizon or your sister? Keeping in mind your sister had all the correct IDs and passwords,
I'm sure if you went to Verizon and wanted to make some changes to your account, and you had the correct IDs and passwords, you would be upset and angry if they put you through the 3rd degree because they thought you were committing fraud.
Good luck to you, (seriously) whatever happens,
