Setting Up Source Systems

This chapter covers the following topics:

Source System Setup Steps

Complete these steps to set up source systems:

  1. In the source EBS system, set up the profile option MTH: System Global Name.

    • The name is used as a service name when the OWB location is specified for the EBS system.

    • The name defined should be configured as a service name in EBS.

  2. In the Microsoft Excel template, update MTH_SYSTEMS_SETUP.csv with definitions for the source system.

    Configure MTH_SOURCE_LOCATION to populate the system identifier to be the same as the ones set up in the source system. Data collected from EBS is automatically stamped with the source system's identifier.

  3. Run the mapping MTH_SYSTEMS_SETUP_XS_ALL_MAP under the MTH Utilities folder to load source systems into Oracle Manufacturing Operations Center (MOC).

Source System Setup: Microsoft Excel Template
