Oracle no longer supports BRM multidatabase systems. Instead, it recommends using BRM multischema systems based on an Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC) system.
Therefore, the multidatabase information in the account synchronization chapters in BRM Installation Guide was replaced with multischema information.
This section describes the documentation updates in BRM 7.5 Patch Set 4.
Oracle no longer supports BRM multidatabase systems. Instead, it recommends using BRM multischema systems based on an Oracle RAC system.
Therefore, the multidatabase information in all BRM 7.5 documents except BRM Upgrade Guide and the account synchronization chapters in BRM Installation Guide was replaced with multischema information. In particular, the following have been updated to support multischema systems:
"Installing a Multischema System" in BRM Installation Guide
"Managing a Multischema System" in BRM System Administrator's Guide
This section describes the documentation updates in BRM 7.5 Patch Set 3.
In the BRM 7.5 documentation, the discussions about changing service status in BRM Managing Customers and the Customer Center Help do not include the following information:
Before changing the status of a service that uses the default life cycle in a plan with options, note the following:
For standalone services:
Closing a required service closes all the services in the plan.
Inactivating a required service inactivates only that service.
Closing or inactivating an optional service closes or inactivates only that service.
For services in subscription groups:
Closing a required subscription or member service closes all the services in the plan.
Inactivating a required subscription service inactivates all its member services.
Inactivating a required member service inactivates only that member service.
Closing or inactivating an optional member service closes or inactivates only that member service.
Note:
The effects of changing the status of a service in a standard plan have not changed. See BRM Managing Customers and the Customer Center Help for more information.BRM Developer's Guide and the Storable Class Editor Help include incorrect information about custom field IDs.
Table 9-1 lists the field ID ranges for Oracle-only use and for customer use:
Starting with Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2), Oracle does not include any 32-bit client binaries in its 64-bit client software. If you use utilities (such as pin_rel) that require lib32 in their library paths, you must explicitly install the Oracle 32-bit client software and configure the Oracle libraries for Rated Event (RE) Loader accordingly.
See the discussion about configuring Oracle libraries for RE Loader in BRM Configuring Pipeline Rating and Discounting for information about configuring the Oracle 32-bit client for RE Loader.
