Review Patch Documentation

When you install the application for the first time, you install either a base release (for example, 15.0) or a later patch release (for example, 15.0.1). If you are installing the base release and additional patch releases, read the documentation for all releases that have occurred since the base release before you begin installation. Documentation for patch releases can contain critical information related to the base release, as well as information about code changes since the base release.


Improved Process for Oracle Retail Documentation Corrections

To more quickly address critical corrections to Oracle Retail documentation content, Oracle Retail documentation may be republished whenever a critical correction is needed. For critical corrections, the republication of an Oracle Retail document may at times not be attached to a numbered software release; instead, the Oracle Retail document will simply be replaced on the Oracle Technology Network Web site, or, in the case of Data Models, to the applicable My Oracle Support Documentation container where they reside.

This process will prevent delays in making critical corrections available to customers. For the customer, it means that before you begin installation, you must verify that you have the most recent version of the Oracle Retail documentation set. Oracle Retail documentation is available on the Oracle Technology Network at the following URL:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/documentation/oracle-retail-100266.html

 

An updated version of the applicable Oracle Retail document is indicated by Oracle part number, as well as print date (month and year). An updated version uses the same part number, with a higher-numbered suffix. For example, part number E123456-02 is an updated version of a document with part number E123456-01.

If a more recent version of a document is available, that version supersedes all previous versions.

Oracle Retail Documentation on the Oracle Technology Network

Oracle Retail product documentation is available on the following web site:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/documentation/oracle-retail-100266.html

(Data Model documents are not available through Oracle Technology Network. You can obtain them through My Oracle Support.)

From SIM to a Warehouse Management System

For returns to the warehouse using the RIB, SIM sends outbound ASN data to facilitate the communication of store-to-warehouse shipment data to a warehouse management system.

From a Warehouse Management System to SIM

The following warehouse management system data is published through the RIB for SIM subscription:

Outbound advance shipping notice (ASN) data converted to inbound ASN data to facilitate warehouse-to-store shipments, the warehouse management system provides SIM outbound ASN data. ASNs are associated with shipments and include information such as to and from locations, container quantities, and so on. Note that outbound ASN data is converted to inbound ASN data by the RIB for SIM’s subscription purposes. The data is the same, but the format is slightly different. The conversion takes place so that ASN inbound data can be the same among applications.

SIM subscribes to the following information from a warehouse management system:


When a warehouse delivery originates in a warehouse management system, a Stock Order Status message is sent to both SIM and RMS with the creation. If the warehouse updates the quantity on the transfer prior to shipping it, SIM subscribes directly to the stock order status message from a warehouse management system and updates the transfer accordingly with an increase or decrease.

From Oracle Retail Xstore Point of Service to SIM

When Xstore Point of Service is deployed with SIM, it integrates with SIM via web services.

From ReSA to SIM

Sales Audit system (ReSA) provides only the modified transactions to SIM for any delta updates.

From the Merchandising System to SIM

The following merchandising system data is published through the RIB for SIM subscription:

§  PO data

SIM allows the user to receive against direct store delivery (DSD)-related PO data. DSD occurs when the supplier drops off merchandise directly in the retailer’s store.

§  External store orders

SIM is able to create purchase orders directly in RMS through the SIM GUI.

§  Item data (sellable and non-sellable items)

SIM processes only transaction-level items (SKUs) and below (such as UPC), so there is no interface for parent (or style) level items. See the RMS documentation for more information about its three-level item structure. In addition to approved items records, the item data includes including header information, item/supplier, and item/supp/country details. Merchandise hierarchy data is an attribute of the item data to which SIM subscribes.

§  Location data (updated store and warehouse location information)

§  Item-location data

SIM uses this data for ordering parameters (for example, allowing the user to determine whether an item is a store order type item).

§  Diff data

§  Supplier and supplier address data

§  Transfer request data

Corporate users can move inventory across stores using RMS transfer requests.

§  Return requests

The merchandise system sends return requests from a store to a warehouse (RTW) and/or to a vendor (RTV). The store itself ships the goods.


From SIM to the Merchandising System

§  The following SIM data is published using the RIB for the subscription of the merchandising system:

§  Receipt data

By sending the receipt data, SIM notifies the merchandising system of what SIM received. Types of receipt data are related to the following:

       Transfers

       Existing (merchandising system) POs associated with DSDs

       New POs associated with DSDs

       Merchandising system (such as RMS) purchase orders

§  RTV and RTW data

SIM notifies the merchandising system about returns to vendors and returns to warehouses.

§  Return to warehouse data

SIM uses ASN out data to notify the merchandising system about returns to warehouses.

§  Store ordering data

SIM sends this data to communicate a request for inventory of a particular item. The merchandising system can use this data to calculate a store order replenishment type item’s recommended order quantity (ROQ).

§  Stock count schedule data

The merchandising system uses this data to help maintain the synchronicity of the inventory levels in SIM and the merchandising system. Once the merchandising system has the stock count schedule data, SIM and the merchandising system perform a separate snapshot. These are not performed at the same time, but rather are controlled separately. RMS has a batch program that takes the snapshot and SIM requires the user to take the snapshot. The store does a physical count and uploads the results, and the merchandising system compares the discrepancies.

§  Price change request data

A SIM user is able to request price changes, along with effective dates, from the price management system.

From SIM to the Merchandising System Using the Stock Upload Module in the Merchandising System

§  Stock count results

Once a stock count is authorized and completed, SIM creates a flat file and stages it to a directory. Using the flat file generated by SIM, the merchandising system’s stock upload module retrieves and uploads the physical stock count data. The merchandising system uses this data to help maintain the synchronicity of the inventory levels in SIM and the merchandising system.

From SIM to the Reporting System

§  Data for reports

SIM has the ability to produce reports that retailers can customize to reflect the unique requirements of their business. To facilitate reporting functionality, the report tool used by SIM is Oracle BI Publisher.

From SIM to a Price Management System

§  Request for approval of price change data

Regular, clearance, and simple fixed price promotion price change data are sent to a price management system. The price management system performs a conflict check and returns a validation status (successful or not successful). If the validation was successful, the price change is returned immediately to SIM and persisted.

From a Price Management System to SIM

§  Price change data

A price management system sends price change data to SIM. This type of price change data can originate at a corporate level or at the store level.

SIM Integration – Technical

This chapter is divided into the following four sections that address SIM’s methods of integration:

§  Web Service-based Integration

§  File-based Integration

§  RIB-based Integration

Each section includes information concerning the architecture of the integration method and the data that is being passed back and forth. For additional functional descriptions of the dataflow, see Chapter 2, “SIM Integration – Functional”.

§  For more information about message families and message type names and the XML schema documents that describe the XML messages, see "Appendix: Subscription and Publishing Designs".

Note

When deployed with rest of Oracle Retail product suite (for example, Warehouse management system, Oracle Retail Merchandise suite), implementers may need to administer different sequence number ranges for integrated products.

For specific information about the request and response processing associated with the following services, see the latest Message Families and Types Report, which is part of Oracle Retail Integration documentation.

File-based Integration

Currently SIM has the following file-based integrations:

§  Sales & Customer order data: SIM imports sales data through flat file from POS.

§  Third Party Stock Count: SIM import third party stock count file.

§  Direct Exchange (DEX) and Network Exchange (NEX) Receiving.

§  Price Bulk Processing: SIM imports pricing files from a price management system and updates the price information of the items.

Web Service-based Integration

SIM receives enterprise payloads through the web service APIs in much the same manner as payloads are received through RIB integration. For additional documentation on the implementation of web services, please reference.

Basic design principles for web services:

§  In case the web service does not return any information (0-list), the external system needs to understand that this is a valid response that indicates no item, transaction or queried information was retrieved. This would be an example of doing a lookup in which the search criteria inputted did not find any results.


§  The web service will apply system options, but assumes that all user input validation has been performed in the new third party client if the system options results in a prompt for the user. In case the system option is a fixed restriction and the input fails the fixed restriction then the web service will return an error. For example:

       Shipping inventory when inventory is less than 0, can be overwritten by the user in SIM. The web service will assume that the third party app did prompt the user, or as a business practice always allows this.

       Adding a non-ranged item on the other hand, requires user input and the allowance of a system option. If the system option does allow it, the web service will not check, assuming the user agreed. If the system option does not allow it, SIM will block that transaction.

       Allowing Receiver Unit Adjustment are dependent on a period of time. If the RUA comes in to SIM after that period of time through the web service, a rejection will be returned.

§  The error return key will be a key; this key should be translated into the correct language and verbiage by the external system. SIM will not do this translation or provide English verbiage for the encountered web service error.

§  If a Boolean is the data type that is interfaced to SIM, and no value is provided, the default will always be False.

RIB-based Integration

SIM can integrate with other Retail products (such as a merchandising system, a price management system, and a warehouse management system) through Oracle Retail Integration Bus (RIB). RIB utilizes publish and subscribe (pub/sub) messaging paradigm with some guarantee of delivery for a message. In a pub/sub messaging system, an adapter publishes a message to the integration bus that is then forwarded to one or more subscribers. The publishing adapter does not know, nor care, how many subscribers are waiting for the message, what types of adapters the subscribers are, what the subscribers current states are (running/down), or where the subscribers are located. Delivering the message to all subscribing adapters is the responsibility of the integration bus.

See the Oracle Retail Integration Bus Operations Guide and other RIB-related documentation for additional information.

For more information about message families and message type names and the XML schema documents that describe the XML messages, see "Appendix: Subscription and Publishing Designs".

Figure: SIM/RIB Integration Diagram


The XML Message Format

The XML message format is defined by XML schema document. See “Message Family and Message Types” in the Oracle Retail Integration Bus Implementation Guide for additional information.

Figure: Data Across the RIB in XML Format

SIM Message Subscription Processing

The SIM application subscribes to the JMS topics published by other Oracle Retail applications published to RIB JMS. For each J2EE-based integrated Oracle Retail application (such SIM, a price management system, and so forth), RIB and its corresponding RIB-<app> component are running on the application server to handle the publishing and subscribing messages through RIB.

On a subscribe operation, the MDB is responsible for taking the XML message from the JMS and calling the appropriate RIB binding code for processing each XML message.

The RIB Binding code is responsible for calling the Subscribing Java application, the corresponding Injector class in the subscribing J2EE application is specified in injectors.xml file. The subscribing application component applies the application specific business logic and injected into the application. If an exception is returned from the subscribing application, the transaction is rolled back and the XML message is sent to the RIB Error Hospital. RIB application utilizes a container-managed transaction and both the JMS and database resources are included in a two-phase commit XA compliant transaction.

See the Oracle Retail Integration Bus Operations Guide and other RIB-related documentation for additional information on message subscription process.

RIB Message Publication Processing

SIM publishes message (payload) to RIB’s JMS through RIB-SIM component, and RIB Binding subsystem converts the payload object into an XML string. The object on the Binding subsystem is put into a RIB envelope called RibMessage. The data within RibMessage eventually becomes a message on the RIB. A Publisher class in the Binding subsystem is called to write the data to the RIB’s JMS queue. On a regular basis, the RIB engages in polling the JMS queue, searching for the existence of a message. A publishable message that appears on the JMS queue is processed.

See the Oracle Retail Integration Bus Operations Guide and other RIB-related documentation for additional information.

RIB Hospital

The RIB Hospital is a set of Java classes and database tables located within the SIM application but owned by the RIB. The RIB Hospital is designed to segregate and trigger re-processing for messages that had some error with their initial processing. The intent is to provide a means to halt processing for messages that cause errors while allowing continued processing for the good messages. The RIB Hospital references tables within SIM (for example, RIB_MESSAGE, RIB_MESSAGE_FAILURE, RIB_MESSAGE_ROUTING_INFO). For more information about the RIB Hospital, see the latest RIB Technical Architecture Guide, RIB Operations Guide, or RIB Hospital Administration online help.

SIM Decoupled from the Oracle Retail Integration Bus (RIB)

SIM has always been designed to interoperate with a merchandising system. By default, SIM has only worked with the Oracle Retail Merchandising System (RMS), because of the SIM dependency on the Oracle Retail Integration Bus (RIB).

SIM 14.0 is decoupled from RIB. Because SIM does not require RIB, SIM can be deployed with merchandising systems of other vendors.

SIM Standalone Integration

What is meant by stand-alone integration? The message flow now looks like the following, for both inbound and outbound messages:

§  Inbound:

External App  Inject  Consume  SIM

§  Outbound:

External App   Publish   Stage   SIM

The following figure provides more information:

Figure: SIM RIB Decoupling Framework Overview

Other attributes of standalone integration include:

Decoupled Code

The core code is now isolated and insulated from integration points. The integration code (int-common, int-rib, int-services, ext-services) for various external systems is now modularized.

Decoupled Message Processing

§  Inbound and outbound messages are staged prior to being processed.

§  Asynchronous processing (formerly synchronized with an external system) to allow SIM to function even when external system is not available.

The following list defines some important terms in the standalone integration:

§  Stager – The sim code can only stage messages rather than publish them

§  Publisher – Takes outbound messages from the staging table and publishes them to an external system

§  Injector – Takes inbound messages from an external system and injects them into the staging table

§  Consumer – Takes inbound messages from the staging table and consumes them in SIM

§  Data Exchange Object (DEO) – Defines the message data held inside a staged message


Stager

The sim-core code can only stage messages rather than publish them.

 

1.      SIM code looks up the appropriate SimMessageStager and calls stage():

ASNOutReturnStager

 

2.      SimMessageStager maps business objects to DEO:

Shipment   ASNOutDEO

 

3.      SimMessageStager persists DEO to MPS_STAGED_MESSAGE table.

 

Note: Messages will be published asynchronously by worker threads at a later time (usually within seconds).

Publisher

The polling timers handle staged messages in an abstract way.

 

1.      Worker type threads look up the appropriate SimMessageHandler and call handleMessage()

PublishHandler

 

2.      PublishHandler looks up the appropriate SimMessagePublisher and calls publish()

SimRibPublisher

Note: Messages successfully processed will be deleted from the STAGED_MESSAGE table by running PurgeStagedMessage.sh at a later time (up to customer, usually daily).

Performance impact if PurgeStagedMessage.sh isn't run frequently. It is also recommended to re-index after the purge script is run.

Injector

 

1.      RIB-SIM makes a remote EJB call to SIM to inject a message:

ApplicationMessageInjector

 

2.      SIM looks up the appropriate Injector and calls inject():

SimMessageRibInjector

 

3.      Injector maps Payload to a DEO with SimMessageMapperUtil:

ASNInDesc     ASNInDEO)

 


4.      Injector persists DEO to MPS_STAGED_MESSAGE table.

Note: Messages will be consumed asynchronously by the worker threads at a later time (usually within seconds).

Consumer

 

1.      Worker type threads look up the appropriate SimMessageHandler and call handleMessage():

ConsumeHandler

 

2.      ConsumeHandler looks up the appropriate SimMessageConsumer and calls consume():

ASNInConsumer

 

3.      Messages are marked as PROCESSED=Y in the MPS_STAGED_MESSAGE table (or their MESSAGE_ERROR and RETRY_COUNT is modified).

Note: Messages successfully processed will be deleted from the MPS_STAGED_MESSAGE table by running PurgeStagedMessage.sh at a later time (usually within seconds).

Staged Messages

Staged messages are processed by threads within the app server, spawned using an EJB polling timer framework.

Multiple background threads process staged messages concurrently and asynchronously. Messages are grouped and processed by message_family (and business_id, if present).

Admin screens are built into the SIM client to allow management of worker types (timers) and staged messages.

The idea of decoupling SIM from any external system relies on the idea of messages being stored in a table on the database. This way, the data becomes detached from the external system (in both directions, inbound and outbound). The MPS_STAGED_MESSAGE holds staged messages. The table looks like the following:

Table: Staged Messages

Messages

ID

STORE_ID

BUSINESS_ID

MESSAGE_DESCRIPTION

MESSAGE_TYPE

MESSAGE_FAMILY

INBOUND (this flag is either Y or N to denote if the message is inbound)

RETRY_COUNT (number of times the record has been retried)

PROCESSED (this flag is either Y or N to denote if this message has been processed)

DELETED (this flag is either Y or N to denote if this message has been deleted)

CREATE_DATE_TIME

UPDATE_DATE_TIME

MESSAGE_DATA (CLOB)

MESSAGE_ERROR (the reason why it failed)

JOB_ID

 


Messages are either inbound or outbound, and are processed by multiple threads:

Inbound

An external system injects messages into the staging table that are later consumed by SIM.

Note: A staged message can be in one of three states:

PENDING – A staged message that has a
RETRY_COUNT = 0.

RETRY – A staged message that has a RETRY_COUNT > 0 and less than the worker type MSG_MAX_RETRIES.

FAILED – A staged message that has a RETRY_COUNT >= the worker type MSG_MAX_RETRIES.

Outbound

SIM stages messages into the staging table that later get published to an external system.

Outbound messages are handled in a generic way by SIM and then later are picked up and published by a specific piece of code written to integrate with some external system. Inbound messages are handled by some specific piece of code written to get messages from an external system and transformed and persisted to the staging table in a generic way.

One or more recurring threads that can run on the server side are needed to process these messages. To avoid bottlenecks with just one thread, a configurable sized thread pool is implemented.

J2EE 1.4 introduced the concept of a timer service, which enables developers to create a program that can schedule a business process to occur at a predetermined time or at a regular interval. The EJB container manages the timer service to allow EJB methods to register a call back at a scheduled time or regular interval; EJB timers provide facilities to schedule predetermined tasks and activities. Using stateless beans (MpsWorkerBean) timers were created to be used in J2EE Containers that will process the staged messages. The EJB container provides the timer service, which is the infrastructure for the registration and callbacks of timers, and provides the methods for creating and canceling the timers, as well as wrapping everything in transactions.

Inbound messages are not guaranteed to be processed in the order they were injected (due inherently to multi-threaded asynchronous processing). Order can be guaranteed by an external application by populating the BUSINESS_ID field within the message, but this only holds true for messages in the same family. Messages in the same family with the same BUSINESS_ID are processed in the order they were injected. There is no way to guarantee message order between families (for example, Item, ItemLoc, and so forth). Messages in the same family with the same BUSINESS_ID can block subsequent messages if an earlier message is in RETRY or FAIL state (this is in order to guarantee ordering).

A worker-type represents a recurring unit of work and associated attributes to aid in the selection of the staged messages upon which each worker type should act.

The MPS_WORKER_TYPE table looks like the following:


 

Table: MPS_Worker_Type Table

Messages

ID

MESSAGE_FAMILY

INBOUND

ENABLED

RETRY_LIMIT

RETRY_DELAY_SECS

RETRY_DELAY_MAX_SECS

RETRY_DELAY_FACTOR

RETRY_DELAY_RANDOM

PURGE_PROCESSED

 

The idea behind each record in this table is that each {“message family”} coupling uniquely identifies one worker type. For example, there is a row in the MPS_WORKER_TYPE table for {ASNOut, Outbound}. That worker type class will act on outbound messages in the ASNOut family. The MPS_WORKER_TYPE table is populated during data seeding and should rarely have any INSERT/DELETE against it. There will be many updates to records in this table.

§  MpsCoordinatorBean: The managing thread that has a simple job: it queries the MPS_WORKER_TYPE table every five seconds and looks for any polling timers that need to be fired. If MpsCoordinatorBean finds any, it immediately spawns or schedules a WorkerTypeBean to fire. The following criteria are used to determine if a worker is ready to fire:

§  Check if the worker is enabled (turned on)

§  Check if the worker is expired (reached/exceeded sleep timeout)

§  Check if the worker is not locked (not currently running)

If these conditions are met, the last job of the coordinator is to query for all staged messages.


Integration Transaction Boundaries

Global transactions (XA) were formerly between core SIM and the external integration point. This meant that a publish would cause a blocking call on the SIM GUI until the external system accepted delivery.

With the staging table in place, SIM can do a simple drop (stage) of a message into the staged message table (for increased performance of the SIM GUI) without blocking.

Global transactions are limited to interaction between the integration point: SIM-INT module and the external system.

Application Server Settings

The Oracle Application Server needs to have the executor.concurrent.tasks setting increased to support the number of concurrent threads it can handle. This value must be enough to handle all the threads that could theoretically be firing at any given time. This can be done by setting the system property value on the command line when starting OC4J. Example:

    -Dexecutor.concurrent.tasks=150

 

The default value for Oracle Application Server is 8. More information on setting Java system property values can be found here:

    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/tooldocs/windows/java.html

Note: Transaction timeout of the application server must be set sufficiently high depending on settings for the quantity for each thread. For example, if you choose to process 5000 messages on one thread, the timeout must be set much higher than if you were to set 5000 messages over 25 threads since each thread will be using its own transaction and will have a smaller chunk of work to accomplish, therefore less time per thread to complete.

SIM MPS Worker Configuration

Configuration for the worker framework can be done in the server.cfg file. The following is an example excerpt:

# This corresponds to a row in the message processing system

# configuration table

  MPS_CONFIG_ID=1

 

This value is the ID into the MPS_CONFIG table. The row specified by the ID contains all the configurations for worker types.


The MPS_CONFIG table looks like the following:

Table: MPS_CONFIG table

ID

ID: DeNote the node which these settings are for.

ENABLED: Enable or disable the entire message processing system.

MAX_THREADS: The maximum number of concurrent workers that may be running.

QUEUE_MAX_SIZE: The maximum number of messages a single worker may process during one execution.

QUEUE_MAX_AGE_SECS: The maximum number of times a message may be retired before it is considered failed.

INC_THREADS: The number of workers the coordinator may start per frefresh.

REFRESH_RATE_SECS: The amount of time the coordinator sleeps in seconds before checking the status of messages and workers in the system.

 

Staged Message Admin Screen

Messages are in one of three states:

§  PENDING

§  RETRY

§  FAILED

The staged message screen can be used to RESET or DELETE messages, but more frequently it is used to fix a FAILED message by directly manipulating the invalid data in the XML. This is done by filtering for the specific staged message you are looking for (or across all staged message) and double-clicking on any row. This opens a dialog that enables you to see the error message and edit the data in XML format.

Known Issues and Reminders

§  Make sure the worker type is turned on.

§  Make sure the QUEUE_MAX_AGE_SECS value (in MPS_CONFIG) is set high enough so messages are given a chance to retry (default is 180).

§  Make sure there are no staged messages that exist in RETRY or FAILED state that are holding up other associated messages.

§  If the messages are outbound, verify the RIB is up and running. The sim.log shows many stack traces and error messages similar to Check that the RIB is up and running or Unable to connect to the rib.

The following background info might be helpful:

When a worker fires, it queries for a certain number of messages to process defined by a calculation of configuration values (MAX_THREADS and QUEUE_MAX_SIZE). The query only chooses PENDING messages with this exclusion:

Exclude all staged messages where MESSAGE_FAMILY = X and BUSINESS_ID = Y if there exists one or more messages with the same family and direction that are in RETRY or FAILED state.

 

There exists a retry timer that processes the messages that are in a RETRY state, but it too has a query to only choose RETRY messages with this exclusion:

 

Exclude all staged messages where MESSAGE_FAMILY = X and BUSINESS_ID = Y if there exists one or more messages with the same family and direction that are in FAILED state.

 

The only difference between the regular worker and the retry worker is that the retry worker processes messages one at a time, each having its own transaction. The regular worker processes messages in one transaction: if one transaction fails, all transactions fail, which equates to all messages getting an incremented retry count.

Database Considerations

Rebuilding the indexes on the MPS_STAGED_MESSAGE table each day is recommended. This must be coordinated to run after the daily purge batch script that removes already processed or deleted messages from the table.

The DBA does the following, either with an SQL script or using dynamic SQL in a PL/SQL module:

 

1.      Reset the high-water mark for the table and rebuild the index(es)

2.      ALTER TABLE mps_staged_message ENABLE ROW MOVEMENT

3.      ALTER TABLE mps_staged_message SHRINK SPACE CASCADE

4.      ALTER TABLE mps_staged_message DISABLE ROW MOVEMENT

5.      Gather the table statistics

6.      Call DBMS_STATS.GATHER_TABLE_STATS(tabname => staged_message, ESTIMATE_PERCENT => dbms_stats.auto_sample_size, CASCADE => 'true')

The high-water reset requires the mps_staged_message table to exist in a tablespace with automatic segment space management (ASSM), which is already recommended for the required tablespaces. Regardless, if this table is in an existing tablespace or whether it will have its own that is separate from the normal tablespaces, the tablespace needs ASSM (which is the default).

For more information about recommendations for the required tablespaces, see the Oracle Retail Store Inventory Management Installation Guide.

Subscribers Mapping Table

The following table lists the message family and message type name and the XML schema documents that describe the XML message. A common SimMessageRibInjector class intercepts all messages, which is responsible to stage the message into SIM. This staged message is then later consumed into SIM. For additional information, see the Oracle Retail Integration Bus Operations Guide and other RIB documentation.

Appendix: Oracle Retail Xstore Point of Service to Oracle Retail Store Inventory Management

The following section describes the integration between Oracle Retail Xstore Point of Service to Oracle Retail Store Inventory Management.

As of V 15.0, Xstore Point of Service system integrates with SIM via following Web services.

With direct web service update, SIM Inventory will be up-to-date very close to real time. Every transaction that takes place at Xstore is posted to ORSIM using a web service and since this service is a blocking call, the information is quickly staged and the transaction released so that POS can continue immediately. Processing of the transactions takes place in SIM almost immediately after releasing the web service call.

Inventory Inquiry

Oracle Retail XStore Point of Service can request inventory information for a single store or for a group of stores. The operator can request inventory numbers of an item in the home store or for a specific store. Item inquiry can search on one item at a time. The reply from Oracle Retail Store Inventory Management contains item, location and inventory information.

The Xstore to ORSIM integration is intended to provide integration for Oracle Retail Xstore Point of Service to interact with the ORSIM application in order to retrieve inventory information. The Xstore client can see real-time inventory from the ORSIM system.

This functionality is provided by SIM’s web service: StoreInventory.

Xstore uses following operations defined in the service:

§  lookupAvailableInventory: Retrieves inventory availability information for multiple items and multiple stores. Only transaction-level items are processed.

§  lookupInventoryInStore: Retrieves the inventory information for several items at several stores.

See the web service documentation for specific details about web services.

UIN Inquiry

Oracle XSTORE can request UIN details from Oracle Retail Store Inventory Management System.

The reply from Oracle Retail Store Inventory Management contains item and UIN status information for the UIN value across multiple items.

This functionality is provided by SIM’s web service: StoreInventoryUin

XSTORE uses following operation defined in the service:

§  readUINDetail: Retrieves details about a UIN in store inventory. This may return UIN information across multiple items.

See the web service documentation for specific details about web services.

POS Transaction

The date for a sale transaction is stored in the POS_TRANSACTION table. Each PosTransaction record represents a single item sale (not the customer level transaction). Each item is processed and handled individually. There are a three basic pieces of data that need to be covered in further depth.

TRANTYPE

Tran type defines what type of transaction took place at the Point of Service. This is stored in the POS_TRANSACTION.TYPE column in the database. Values are:

1 - Sale

2 - Return

3 - Void Sale

4 - Void Return

5 - Cancel Reservation (order)

6 - New (order)

8 - Fulfill (order)

STATUS

Status defines the state of the transaction in processing. This is stored in the POS_TRANSACTION.PROCESSING_STATUS column in the database. Values are:

0 - NEW

1 - PROCESSED

2 - FAILED

3 - RETRY

4 - REVERTED

REASON

The external sale transaction may include a reason code. This value is stored in POS_TRANSACTION.REASON and is used to determine the disposition of the item quantities associated with the transaction.

Direct transaction updates in SIM support the item disposition for return/void transactions based on the reason code mapping in SIM.

Point-of-Service maps the SIM reason codes, and the reason code is sent to SIM in the web service message for the return and post void transactions. These are SIM inventory adjustment reason codes mapped to the item disposition. Based on the disposition mapped to the reason code, SIM moves the inventory buckets accordingly.

For Void of Sale, if the web service returns the reason code, and the Enable Item Disposition in the Transaction Updates store parameter is set to yes, then the system updates the inventory bucket based on the disposition mapped to that reason code. If there is no reason code sent, the SOH is incremented.

If the reason code received is invalid or mapped incorrectly, the system writes an error log and continues to process the transaction.


Note: Point-of-Service must capture and publish the reason codes for the return/void transactions to SIM in the web service call.

This web services only allows 5,000 overall POSTrnItms(s) in a single call, though they may be distributed between any numbers of actual PosTrn transactions. The web service performs basic validation, converts the payload into a POSTransaction data record in ORSIM and stores the information to be processed later.

The transaction-id sent by Xstore to SIM  is a combination of a transaction sequence number and register id.

§  Web Service: POSTransaction

§  Web Service Operation: processPOSTransaction

§  Web Service Payload: POSTrn (containing PosTrnItm)

See the web service documentation for specific details about web services.

ReSA Sales Audit Updates to ORSIM through Batch Process

ReSA may integrate sales audit information to ORSIM through a file-based batch job. Audit information represents only a small fraction of the original sale transactions that were updated or “audited”. All the transactions of a ReSA audit file must belong to the same store. The batch job will perform basic validation, converts the payload into a POSTransaction data record in ORSIM and stores the information to be processed later. While converting the payload into a POSTransaction data record, the batch job will combine transaction number and register number to form a transaction id in ORSIM See batch documentation for specific details.

§  Batch: RetailSaleAuditImport.sh

Figure: Sales Information Flow to SIM

Untitled Diagram (4)

Regardless of the method of import, real-time web service call, or ReSA batch file, the information is converted into an ORSIM POS-transaction data record and stored in the POS_TRANSACTION database table without being processed. A sales processing request record is then written to the MPS_STAGED_MESSAGE database table to trigger asynchronous processing. The following diagram shows the flow of importing information. A configurable timer will trigger a read of processing requests on the STAGED_MESSAGE table. ORSIM will them pick up all the sales transactions associated with the request and process them.

B

Appendix: Subscription and Publishing Designs

Messages are either inbound or outbound:

§  Inbound: An external system injects messages into the staging table that later get consumed by SIM.

§  Outbound: SIM stages messages into the staging table that later get published to an external system.

The messages that are considered outbound are handled in a generic way by SIM and then later are picked up and published by a specific piece of code written to integrate with some external system. Similarly, inbound messages are handled by some specific piece of code written to get messages from an external system and transformed and persisted to the staging table in a generic way.

§  Data Exchange Object (DEO): An object that encapsulates outbound and inbound data internally to SIM. This object is passed between sim and sim-int-* ).

§  Stager: A class which takes the SIM outbound data (for example, business objects) and wraps them in the specific DEO and then persists the information to the Staging table (as a StagedMessage object).

§  Publisher: A class which takes the outbound staging records (DEO) then converts and publishes them to an external system (for example, RIB). Any given implementation of this object would reside in the respective sim-int-* implementation.

§  Injector: A class which takes inbound data (such as Payload) and injects it into the staging table by mapping the data from the Payload into a DEO and then finally persisting it as a StagedMessage.

§  Consumer: A class which processes SIM inbound staging records by consuming staging records and persisting into SIM transactional tables.

Note

SIM DataExchangeObject (DEO) versus RIB Payload

SIM DEO is similar to a RIB payload in that it is a wrapper for a representation of data

RIB payloads are meant to be externally shared between RIB and other systems that integrate with RIB.

SIM DEO is an internal representation of a functional chunk of data that only SIM needs and is only changed internally from the core component to SIM integration components.

 

For more information, see Chapter 3, "SIM Integration – Technical".


Subscribers

Oracle Retail Stores Inventory Management subscribes to the JMS topics published by other Oracle Retail applications published to RIB JMS. For each J2EE-based integrated Oracle Retail application (such as SIM), RIB and its corresponding RIB-<app> component are running on the application server (for example, Oracle Application Server) to handle the publishing and subscribing messages through RIB.

A common SimMessageRibInjector class intercepts all messages, which is responsible to convert external message payload (for example, RIB Payload) into SIM Data Exchange Object (DEO) and stage the message into SIM. This staged message is then later consumed into SIM. For additional information, see the Oracle Retail Integration Bus Operations Guide and other RIB documentation.

Note

Mapping between message types and SIM injectors occurs in injectors.xml.

The SimMessageRibInjector API is the same for all incoming messages: inject(messageType, businessId, payload).

Publishers

Oracle Retail Stores Inventory Management publishes messages (payload) to RIB JMS through the RIB-SIM component, and RIB Binding subsystem converts the payload object into an XML string. The object on the Binding subsystem is put into a RIB envelope called RibMessage. The data within RibMessage eventually becomes a message on the RIB. A Publisher class in the Binding subsystem is called to write the data to the RIB’s JMS queue. On a regular basis, the RIB engages in polling the JMS queue, searching for the existence of a message. A publishable message that appears on the JMS queue is processed.

For additional information, see the Oracle Retail Integration Bus Operations Guide and other RIB documentation.
