This chapter covers the following topics:
This chapter provides implementation and setup information for users who have an earlier version of Oracle Install Base and are upgrading to this version. Because you are an upgrade user, the application automatically updates much of your current setup. Therefore you are required to consider only a subset of the setup steps required for a new user.
The following modules must be installed and set up for Install Base to work. Refer to the appropriate guides to install and set up these modules:
Oracle Inventory
Oracle Asset Tracking
Oracle Service Fulfillment Manager
Oracle Order Management
Oracle Purchasing (Optional)
Oracle Accounts Receivable
Oracle Work in Process (Optional)
Oracle Bills of Material
The following table provides a checklist of setup steps for upgrade users of Oracle Install Base. The entries for section reference in the table direct you to Implementation and Setup for New Users for detailed step descriptions.
After upgrading, you must run the concurrent program: Program to initiate operational status update. The program requires no parameters. Run this program after logging in with the Oracle Install Base Admin responsibility.
This program will populate the Operational Status field with the appropriate values. These values are used for Oracle Asset Tracking. If you are not using Oracle Asset Tracking or if the instance is not an asset, the value populated will be 'Not Used'. See Oracle Asset Tracking Public Package, Oracle Asset Tracking API, Oracle Asset Tracking Implementation Guide for information regarding the status codes.
