Product Overview
The Oracle Retail Macro Space Planning family consists of two products:
n Oracle Retail Macro Space Management (MSM)
n Oracle Retail In-Store Space Collaboration (ISSC)
MSM is an integrated program that allows users to carry out highly sophisticated store planning, fixturing, and merchandising operations. It also allows them to measure retail performance using Key Performance Indicators and Reports. MSM is designed to work on a local area network (LAN) and is typically located at corporate head office.
ISSC is optional depending on the user’s preference and licensing options. If installed, MSM must also be installed. ISSC has an extension called ISSC Mobile that allows changes to floor plans and planograms to be viewed in store.
Database Version
The installed version of MSM must be compatible with the current version of the Macro Space Planning database. This release of MSM is compatible with database version 14.1.1 - the schema of which has been modified as a result of the changes made to functionality.
AutoCAD Version

Note The Planner and Fixture Studio modules in MSM require the use of Autodesk AutoCAD software. Before installing these applications, you must purchase and install Autodesk AutoCAD. Oracle does not ship the Autodesk AutoCAD licenses along with these products. You must purchase the Autodesk AutoCAD license directly from Autodesk or the recognized resellers. |
This release of MSM is compatible with the following AutoCAD versions:
n AutoCAD 2013
n AutoCAD 2014

|
Defect Number |
Summary |
|
12887705 |
Floor plans must be scaled in the required viewport using AutoCAD commands when using title blocks. |
|
12901362 |
If there are multiple revisions (versions) of a planogram in the database, all versions will simultaneously be visible in the Find dialog box. An unhandled error will result if any but the latest version of the planogram is selected for placement in the floor plan. |
|
12911301 |
The Update Title blocks option on the Pre-processing tab of the immediate Floor Plan Publish dialog must be used in conjunction with one or more of the other options. |
|
12930615 |
Block parameters for the copy of the block held in Fixture Studio must be changed using the AutoCAD block edit (BEDIT) command rather than using the Normalize Blocks command |
|
13064846 |
Blocks being used in gondolas must follow a naming convention. The Gondola Part Mapping dialog should not be used, |
|
13363561 |
If a block has Parts assigned in Fixture Studio, an error will result when an attempt is made to delete the block using the Purge command in the Administration module. The workaround is to manually delete the pertinent entries for the assigned parts in Fixture Studio prior to using the Purge command. |
|
13970109 |
If using the 'Import New Version of Drawing' functionality in Store Manager and the file name of the drawing matches another drawing in the revision, the drawing with the matching name will be replaced, and not the selected target file. |
|
14731461 |
It is not possible to use the zoom to planogram feature in Planner. |
|
15984755 |
The Find dialog box in the Print Planogram functionality errors if columns are hidden. The workaround is not to have hidden columns. |
|
16273783 |
The Fixture Adjacency, Face Plane and Aisle Adjacency Calculations will not run from the Calculations menu in the Merchandiser module. The workaround is to run these from the Calculations menu in the Planner module or use the Automated Calculations module. |
|
16290697 |
Gondola definition dimensions must be created in Fixture Studio in the order that the gondola part names are to be constructed so that the correct fixtures are used. |
|
16869929 |
File UDAs will not save date type attributes without a value set. A work around is to set a default date such as 31st December 2099. |
|
16923823 |
Mandatory Store User Defined Attributes are not enforced. |
|
19725103 |
Gondola definition dimensions must be created in Fixture Studio in the order that the gondola part names are to be constructed so that the correct fixtures are used. |

|
20000626 |
Zone annotation must be updated manually after modifying a zone boundary. |
|
20574932 |
Using middle (vertical) text style justification can position text inconsistently when the text wraps on to more than one line. Use top justification instead. |
