Oracle Enterprise Asset Management Extensions for Oracle Endeca

This chapter covers the following topics:

Overview

You can use Oracle Enterprise Asset Management Extensions for Oracle Endeca to search and filter asset, work requests, work orders, and item information. Using the eAM Endeca dashboard pages, you can review and analyze data using key Performance Indicators (KPIs), performance evaluation metrics, charts, graphs, and tables.

You can search using eAM pages and Endeca Information Discovery (EID) design tools. These pages are hosted in an EID environment, and called from new container pages in EBS. In eAM, the following region and pages enable search functions using Endeca Information Discovery integration:

This chapter provides product-specific details required to integrate Endeca Information Discovery (EID) with Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1 V5 for the Oracle Enterprise Asset Management Extensions for Oracle Endeca application. This supplements the information provided in Installing Oracle E-Business Suite Extensions for Oracle Endeca, Release 12.1 V5 (Doc ID: 1683053.1). You must read this document and make note of the requirements before you begin your installation.

Oracle Enterprise Asset Management Extensions for Oracle Endeca Product Configuration

Setting Up Oracle Enterprise Asset Management Extensions for Oracle Endeca

The Oracle Enterprise Asset Management (eAM) application configuration and setup must be completed after the installation and common configurations are completed as described in Installing Oracle E-Business Suite Extensions for Oracle Endeca, Release 12.1 V5 (Doc ID: 1683053.1).

Setup and Configuration Steps

To set up Oracle Enterprise Asset Management Extensions for Oracle Endeca, you must complete the following steps:

  1. Set Access Control by assigning UMX roles and updating access grants.

  2. Load eAM data to the Endeca Data Store by running graphs provided by eAM.

  3. Schedule Setup for Full Endeca Refresh.

  4. Set Profile Options.

Access Control: Hide and Show EID Dashboards (User Interfaces) for Oracle Enterprise Asset Management (eAM)

As part of the Oracle E-Business Suite-EID integration for the Oracle Enterprise Asset Management (eAM) application, the following UMX Role is provided:

UMX Role Internal Code Name
EAM Endeca Access Role UMX|EAM_ENDECA_ ACCESS_ROLE

You must add the new UMX role 'EAM Endeca Access Role' (Internal Code Name: UMX|EAM_ENDECA_ ACCESS_ROLE) to enable Endeca menus for the Maintenance Super User responsibility (or any other custom responsibility which is using the same menu). You must assign this UMX role to the responsibility. When this UMX role is assigned to the eAM Information Portal, the Information Discovery tab appears.

If you want to use the Endeca-related role with more than one responsibility, then you must have an additional grant with a security context corresponding to each responsibility. You can add grants for a given role as a separate process instead of while you are adding the role to the responsibility.

Complete the following steps to enable Endeca Menus in Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS):

  1. Assign a UMX Role to the Responsibility.

  2. Update EAM_ENDECA_ACCESS_GRANT Grant.

For assigning UMX Roles and Grants, refer to Appendix C in Installing Oracle E-Business Suite Extensions for Oracle Endeca, Release 12.1 V5 (Doc ID: 1683053.1).

Loading eAM Data into the Endeca Data Store

Clover ETL within Endeca queries eAM Views and does a full data load to the eAM data store in Endeca. After the first data load, full data load or incremental data load can be performed periodically. Incremental data load will update all the records in Endeca eAM data store which were updated in EBS after the last load. After the data has been loaded in the eAM data store, it can be queried and shown in the eAM pages.

eAM Data Sources in eAM Data Store

Three data sources are defined in the eAM data store in Endeca and are used to query data for different pages in eAM. These data sources include:

Setting Up the Scheduler for Endeca Full Refresh

The initial data upload for Endeca Search is complete when the Full graph is run as described in Installing Oracle E-Business Suite Extensions for Oracle Endeca, Release 12.1 V5 (Doc ID: 1683053.1). Full refresh deletes all data from Endeca and repopulates it with a full data extract from the E-Business Suite system. For incremental refresh, you should determine how often the Endeca data should be refreshed from E-Business Suite depending on your organizational requirements.

To schedule ETL on the Integrator Server

  1. Login to Integrator server using your Clover login.

  2. Click the Scheduling tab.

  3. Select the New Schedule link.

  4. Enter a Description for the scheduler.

  5. Select Periodic as the Type.

  6. Select by interval as the Periodicity.

  7. Enter a start date and time in the Not active before date/time field.

  8. Enter an end date and time in the Not active after date/time field.

  9. Enter a value in the Interval (minutes) field.

  10. Ensure you select the Fire misfired event as soon as possible check box.

  11. Select Start a graph from the Task Type list.

  12. Select the graph for schedule to run. I.e. Full.grf/incremental.grf.

  13. Click Create to set the scheduler.

ETL Parameters for Enterprise Asset Management (eAM)

You can load data to the eAM data store by running graphs provided by eAM.

To load data to the eAM data store

  1. Using the URL for the EID Integrator Server, navigate to the Sandboxes page and expand the graph node under eAM.

  2. Graphs to load data include:

Profile Options for Enterprise Asset Management (eAM)

You must set the following profile options if you do not want to load all historical data. Oracle recommends that you load data for all years. If you do not set the following profile options, then all Work Order, Asset, and Work Request data will be loaded.

Profile Option Name Description
EAM : Endeca Work Order Data Load Start Date (mm/dd/yyyy) Loads all Work Orders created on and after the specified date to the Endeca Data Store.
EAM : Endeca Work Request Data Load Start Date (mm/dd/yyyy) Loads all Work Requests created on and after the specified date to the Endeca Data Store.
FND: Endeca Portal URL This profile acts as the gateway between EBS and Endeca to bring the Endeca pages from the Endeca Studio Portal Server.

Views and Joins for Enterprise Asset Management (eAM)

The following views are used by the ETL layer in Endeca to load eAM data to the Endeca data store:

View Name Purpose
EAM_EID_WORK_ORDERS_V Loads work order and asset data
EAM_EID_WORK_REQUESTS_V Loads work request data
EAM_EID_MATERIALS_V Loads material data

The following temporary views are used as part of parallel processing for use with flexfields and attachments.

View Name Purpose
EAM_EID_WO_PROCESS_TEMP Loads flexfield and attachments of work orders and assets.
EAM_EID_WR_PROCESS_TEMP Loads work request flexfield and attachment details.
EAM_EID_MAT_PROCESS_TEMP Loads flexfield and attachment details for materials in the Store (Materials) page.

Menus for Endeca Enterprise Asset Management (eAM)

Endeca Enterprise Asset Management (eAM) integration includes nine new user menu functions as follows:

User Function Name Function Name
EAM Endeca Home Page Destination EAM_ENDECA_HOME_DEST
EAM Endeca Asset Landing Page EAM_ENDECA_ASSET_LANDING_PAGE
