SOX Compliance for Oracle Retail

Is oracle retail SOX ( Sarbanes and Oxley) compliance? Under what conditions of implementation will oracle retail ( primarily RMS) be SOX compliant?

Great question. Curious to learn the answer.

  • 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 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.)
    Regards, Erik

    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.

    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

  • Security solution with Identity server for SOX compliance

    Hi all,
    Has anybody used Identity Server as security solution to achieve SOX compliance? i want to know general view, opinions , experiance of ppl while implementing such solution.
    Just a little background of SOX: It is Created by US Congress in the wake of corporate scandals like Enron in 2001 and 2002.it is an attempts to tighten controls over corporate financial reporting and transparency.
    I am basically interested in implementing security solutions using Identity server for SOX compliance. Section 404 of this act deals with internal controls, which essentially requires organizations to provide following facilities -
    1. User Identification, authorization and access
    2. User control of user accounts
    3. Central identification and access rights/permissions management
    4. Violation and security activity report
    Has anybody developed such solution? What are your general experiance, problems , issues etc? Please share your view....

    Just too quick to draw conclusion: See below FAQ
    If you are not in the same AS container, let me know. Jerry
    Copy from J2EE agent FAQ
    Question - Is it possible to install a J2EE 2.1agent and Identity Server on the same instance of the application server ?
    Installing the IS60SP1/IS61 server and J2EE 2.1 policy agent on the sameninstance of Application server is not a supported configuration. We do support the 21 J2EE agent and IS installed on different instances of the application server. So, users can install theJ2EE 2.1 agent on a one instance of the application server and install IS on a different instance of the apps server.

  • Oracle SOX patches for SAP platform

    Oracle has released many sox patches to implement.
    We would like know whether these patches can be installed for oracle databases in SAP.
    SAP has given note 1137346 for 10.2.0.4 with all other patches but not outlined the sox patches.
    Can any one clarify?

    I'd open an OSS call.
    Those Oracle patches may conflict with SAP patches.

  • Oracle Retail standard file format for batches - specification needed

    Is there any accurate specification of Oracle Retail standard file format for batches, such as EdiUpcat.pc (possibly with examples)?
    I am trying to produce a file with supplier cost changes for Cost Change Batch (ediupcat.pc).
    In "Operations Guide - Batch Overviews and Designs - Volume 1" I found some brief description, though it is not clear to me
    1) what should I do with empty values (obviously, pad with appropriate number of spaces?)
    2) What if some string value has less characters than specified? Should I left-pad or right-pad?
    3) What does Number(12,4) means? How many characters exactly? 17? Why then values in some fields are multiplied by 10000 (so that to obtain integer value) while in others they go in Number(12,4) notation?

    Hi Roman,
    I am glad to be of help.
    Try to see it like this:
    A number 20 is of char-length 20 in a flatfile, and the value is what it is 1:1.
    A number 12,4 is of char-length 12 in a flatfile, but needs to be divided by 10^4 (10000) to get its real value.
    Indeed there is a funny asymmetry in the documentation how the decimals are handled - but we needed to read carefully already anyhow... :)
    I always like to construct a file by hand in an editor (vi, whatever) and then run it through the program, and check the errors in the error file.
    Good luck and best regards,
    Erik

    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.

  • Configuring Weblogic's jDriver for Oracle to use in distributed transactions

              Here is some errata to the instructions at "Configuring XA JDBC drivers" section of the online beta documentation:
              http://www.weblogic.com/docs60/adminguide/managetx.html#1041268
              The sample JDBC connection pool using Weblogic jDriver for Oracle should be:
              <JDBCConnectionPool
              Name="fundsXferAppPool"
              Targets="myserver"
              URL="jdbc:weblogic:oracle:localdb"
              DriverName="weblogic.jdbc.oci.xa.XADataSource"
              InitialCapacity="0"
              MaxCapacity="5"
              CapacityIncrement="1"
              Properties="user=scott;password=tiger;server=localdb;rmid=0"
              />
              <JDBCTxDataSource
              Name="fundsXferDataSource"
              Targets="myserver,server1"
              JNDIName="myapp.fundsXfer"
              PoolName="fundsXferAppPool"
              />
              Here is an example of an additional XA connection pool for a second database instance:
              <JDBCConnectionPool
              Name="fundsXferAppPool2"
              Targets="myserver"
              URL="jdbc:weblogic:oracle:localdb2"
              DriverName="weblogic.jdbc.oci.xa.XADataSource"
              InitialCapacity="0"
              MaxCapacity="5"
              CapacityIncrement="1"
              Properties="user=scott;password=tiger;server=localdb2;rmid=1"
              />
              <JDBCTxDataSource
              Name="fundsXferDataSource2"
              Targets="myserver,server1"
              JNDIName="myapp.fundsXfer2"
              PoolName="fundsXferAppPool2"
              />
              Please note the different "rmid" values for the 2 different database instances. Note also that the above sample only applies for Beta 1. Instructions may change in the future for Beta 2.
              Also, all the names of the data source properties shown in "Table 8-2 Data Source Properties for WebLogic jDriver for Oracle" should start with lower case.
              The Beta 1 online documentation will soon be updated to reflect the above. Our apologies for any inconvenience caused.
