Oracle Retail R13 silently released April 17

Hi,
At OAUG Collaborate08 conference in Denver it was announced that Oracle Retail would be released April 17 in a "silent release" - not too much media covering.
Indeed one can now find several R13 media packs at edelivery.oracle.com (licensing requirements of course apply there.)
I believe that a later release will receive more media coverage, I forgot whether that was about extended Fusion integration or about new features, or....
Four (patch) releases on R13 are announced to be released in 2008.
The list of applications for R13 currently includes
- RMS
- RSL
- RETL
- RDW
- Allocations
- SIM
- ReIM
- Oracle Retail Workspace (WebCenter)
- RIB (SeeBeyond replaced with Oracle JMS/AQ, TopLink, Stateless Session Beans and Message Driven Beans, OAS).
- RWMS
and several others.
All GUIs have been remodelled to the uniform SWAN UI standard.
It was said on Collaborate08 that this would be the Linux release, subsequent AIX, Solaris, HP-UX to follow this summer. I believe that not every software component in the stack differs significantly per OS.
The media sets that I downloaded include a full documentation set.
Please also see on MetaLink:
Overview Of Features And Enhancements Included In Release Version 12 And Assess Benefits Of Upgrading To Version 13
Doc ID: Note:465089.1 Type: REFERENCE
Last Revision Date: 30-OCT-2007
The documentation on http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/oracle_retail.html has yet not been extended with the R13 sets.
Nor have any patches been publicly published on MetaLink, though the release guide(s) do mention some known issues in the release(s). Some are being worked on, some patches are available on request.

Erik Ykema

Hi,
Just want to bring to your attention
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12462_01/merchandising/docset.html
in there is a pointer to "Data Conversion Operations Guide".
Highlevel this defines a series of more or less general staging tables for some entities, with corresponding batch programs that read the staging tables into the target RMS tables.
Entities like POs, Shipments, transfers etc. all are considered to be closed before migration, if I recall correctly.
Some entities are not in this DCOG and need custom treatment.
Also the following Metalink Notes may be of interest:
Note:563313.1
Note:725888.1
Also our System Integrator, Wipro Retail, has another approach, where they have a more or less reusable toolkit that is customized to the customer requirements and handles the whole lot.
I believe that on the Oracle Retail roadmap is a concept called 'scripted upgrades' which, according to the Oracle Retail Lifetime Support Policy (see PDF at oracle.com), should be available from R12 or R13 onwards, however I haven't seen it yet.

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.)

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.

Moderator Action:
This post has been moved from the Oracle Linux forum, to the Oracle Retail forum.
You don't have a Linux question. You have a question specific to the usage of your application that just happens to be running on Linux.
Please note that this Oracle Retail forum has just recently (April 2013) been moved from ACTIVE status to an ARCHIVED status. That suggests that forum assistance for this product is being retired.

Available Now: Oracle Database Lite 10g Release 1

The Oracle Database Lite development team is pleased to announce the availability of Oracle Database Lite 10g (10.0.0.0.0) for Windows 2000/XP, Solaris 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS/ES 2.1/3.0 platforms.
The Windows release is currently available from OTN at:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/lite/index.html
Oracle Database Lite 10g is a complete and integrated solution for rapid development and deployment of high impact, mission vital applications for mobile and lightweight embedded environments. Oracle Database Lite is an extension to Oracle Database 10g for enterprises wanting to increase productivity, reduce operational costs, and improve customer satisfaction.
Oracle Database Lite uses data synchronization to reliably and securely exchange data between a corporate Oracle Database and mobile workers. Oracle Database Lite also allows companies to deploy and manage users, mobile applications and devices from a remote central location. Oracle Database Lite provides the necessary framework enterprise customers need to extend their enterprise applications and data to the most popular mobile platforms: Palm OS, Linux, Microsoft Windows CE/PPC, and Microsoft Windows NT/2000/XP/UNIX.
The following is a partial list of new features for Oracle Database Lite 10g that will make your mobile deployment easier to manage, use, and develop. A complete list will be available for download/viewing soon.
Device Management
As the number of mobile devices in an enterprise increases, it becomes more important to have complete control of the devices. Oracle Database Lite Device Management is a complete infrastructure to monitor and manage Oracle Database Lite assets such as database files, software libraries, data, and application files on remote devices. Device management decreases the total cost of ownership and protects an enterprises intellectual property.
Single Oracle Lite Binary
The Oracle Database Lite 10g release contains a single set of Oracle Lite database kernel binaries for all languages, removing the necessity of having different binaries for each of the following languages: Korean, Traditional Chinese, simplified Chinese, Japanese, and US/European languages.
Shared Map
The shared map function greatly improves performance by reducing sync processing timeand enhances the scalability of shared publication items. Shared maps allow users to share record state information and reduce the size of the resulting replication map tables.
Offline Instantiation
Offline instantiation enables quick and easy setup of mobile devices for business applications. Mobile administrators are able to prepare, in batch mode, a client package, which includes the mobile client software and initial data for every mobile user. This procedure helps users avoid an expensive online synchronization processes as part of the first time mobile client setup procedure.
Synchronization Manager
The Synchronization Manager is a complete, web-based enterprise management application to manage and monitor synchronization. The Synchronization Manager allows administrators to manage the synchronization service, monitor and analyze sync performance, administer the configuration, trace synchronization history, display and browse synchronization publication and subscription information, and monitor MGP (Message Generator and Processor) performance.
Oracle Application Server Support
The Oracle Database Lite 10g Mobile Server now runs as a web application on Oracle Containers for Java (OC4J) the runtime of Oracle Application Server. If Oracle
Database Lite 10g is deployed in standalone mode, an embedded version of OC4J will be installed and used. Oracle Database Lite may also be installed against an existing instance of Oracle Application Server.
Seamless upgrade from Oracle9 i Lite 5.0.2
The Oracle Database Lite 10g Upgrade Assistant allows customers to easily upgrade from existing Oracle9 i Lite 5.0.2 installations. The Upgrade Assistant automatically converts existing application definitions to the new format, and copies all relevant files to the new installation. As many customers have deployed mission critical systems using Oracle9i Lite technology, the Upgrade Assistant has been designed to minimize system downtime.
Download
Oracle Database Lite 10g (10.0.0.0.0) for Windows can now be downloaded from the following location.

I am using Oracle 10g lite. Do you know if it supports silent installation.

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 Allocation(14.0) is not opening after installation.

Performance Testing Oracle Retail Demand Forecasting application

Hi All
Has anyone performance tested Oracle Retail Demand Forecasting application ( RDF ) using LoadRunner? If yes can you please give me the protocol used and steps followed for scripting ?
Thanks

What is your application release?Our Application Release is 12.1.3
How do you get the error?The error occurs during playback in which I am getting a "You are trying to access a page that is no longer active" error. In addition, it states "- The referring page may have come from a previous session. Please select Home to proceed."
Can you post an example of "most of the correlation that is being referenced throughout the internet seemed to contain NCA functions"?
This was the link I was referring to http://martinspier.co.uk/how-to-script-oracle-11i-apps-on-loadrunner. I don't have the current knowledge in the differences between 11i at the intricate level but it seemed like when I accessed our 11i environment, the login portion is also http/https protocol. From what I noticed though that some of the oracle forms (i.e. payments module) have been converted to Webforms. So I was thinking from a login testing standpoint, the use of this tutorial would still be applicable. However, I just checked the Test Starter Kit Information Center (Note 239746.1) that Steven Chan provided and have downloaded their sample login script for 12.0.4. It seemed that they used the same multi NCA, WEB protocol but login information captured seemed to be capturing http requests only.
Thanks in advance Hussein and for anyone else who can chime in on this task. Any information would be greatly appreciated as I understand am new to not only Loadrunner but Oracle Financial Applications as well.

Nikolai

Oracle Retail 13 - Performance issues when open, save, approving worksheets

Hi Guys,
Recently we started facing performance issues when we started working with Oracle Retail 13 worksheets from within the java GUI at clients desktops.
We run Oracle Retail 13.1 powered by Oracle Database 11g R1 and AS 10g in latest release.
Issues:
- Opening, saving, approving worksheets with approx 9 thousands of items takes up to 15 minutes.
- Time for smaller worksheets is also around 10 minutes just to open a worksheet
- Also just to open multiple worksheets takes "ages" up to 10-15 minuts
Questions:
- Is it expected performance for such worksheets?
- What is your experience with Oracle Retail 13 in terms of performance while working with worksheets - how much time does it normally take to open edit save a worksheet?
- What are the average expected times for such operations?
Any feedback and hints would be much appreciated.
Cheers!!

Hi,
I guess you mean Order/Buyer worksheets?
This is not normal, should be quicker, matter of seconds to at most a minute.
Database side tuning is where I would look for clues.
And the obvious question: remember any changes to anything that may have caused the issue? Are the table and index statistics freshly gathered?
Best regards, Erik Ykema

How to Setup SSL on Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1..2)

Hi All,
Can anybody tell me How to setup the SSL on Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2).
I have all the required documents like
1. Oracle Application Server Portal Server Configuration Guide.
2. Oracle Application Server Web Cache Configuration Guide.
3. Oracle Application Server SSO Administration Guide.
I tried to follow all this documents but still i am not able to set SSL for Oracle Portal Server.

The Portal Configuration Guide, available on OTN at http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/appserver1012.html does provide some very specific information on how to set up OracleAS Portal.
Section 6.3.2.1 Configuring SSL for OracleAS Portal describes various configurations, such as:
SSL to OracleAS Single Sign-On
SSL to OracleAS Web Cache
SSL Throughout OracleAS Portal
External SSL with Non-SSL Within Oracle Application Server
For larger enterprise configurations, you can refer to the Enterprise Deployment Guide.
Can you give a bit more background on what you are trying to set up? Which scenario, what sort of hardware, software versions, and so on.
Regards,
Pete

Error while installing Oracle Cluster Ready Services Release 1 (10.1.0.2)

Hi all,
I am trying for RAC 10gR1 (10.1.0.2) using two machines with Windows 2000 Server. For this I need to install Oracle Cluster Ready Services Release 1 (10.1.0.2).
Machine details are as follows:-
Node 1:
Computer Name:     RAC1
Windows 2000 IP Configuration
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection 2: (Used for Public Interface)
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.65
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection: (Used for Private Interface between the two nodes)
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 10.10.10.11
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :
Node 2:
     Computer Name:     RAC2
Windows 2000 IP Configuration
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection 2: (Used for Public Interface)
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.181

Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :
I have made following entries in Hosts file of both the machines:-
192.168.1.65     RAC1
192.168.1.181     RAC2
10.10.10.11     RAC01-PRIV
10.10.10.12     RAC02-PRIV
192.168.1.201     RAC01-VIP
192.168.1.202     RAC02-VIP
I have completed all the pre-installation steps, i.e. configuring the disk for storage, and both the machine are communicating each other through there Private and Public interfaces. Now the problem appears when I am installing Oracle Cluster Ready Services, at the end of Installation following message appears and the auto configuration steps fails.
================================================================================================================
