The Oracle Outsourced Manufacturing For Discrete Industries Plus application configuration and setup must be completed after the installation and common configurations are completed as described in Installing Oracle E-Business Suite Information Discovery, Release 12.1 V7 (Doc ID: 2165363.1).
To set up Oracle Outsourced Manufacturing for Discrete Industries Plus, you must complete the following steps:
Set Access Control by assigning UMX roles and updating access grants.
Load Outsourced Manufacturing (Subcontracting) data to the Endeca Data Domain by running graphs provided by Subcontracting.
As part of the Oracle E-Business Suite-EID integration for the Oracle Outsourced Manufacturing For Discrete Industries Plus application, the following UMX Role is provided:
UMX Role | Internal Code Name |
---|---|
Subcontracting Endeca Access Role | UMX|JMF_SHIKYU_ENDECA_ACCESS_ROLE |
You must add the new UMX role 'Subcontracting Endeca Access Role' (Internal Code Name: UMX|JMF_SHIKYU_ENDECA_ACCESS_ROLE) to enable Endeca menus for the Subcontracting 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 Subcontracting Super User responsibility, the Endeca Search page 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.
Permission Set | Internal Code Name |
---|---|
Subcontracting Endeca Permission Set | JMF_SHIKYU_ENDECA_ACCESS_PS |
Complete the following steps to enable Endeca Menus in Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS):
Assign a UMX Role to the Responsibility.
Update JMF_SHIKYU_ENDECA_ACCESS_GRANT Grant.
For assigning UMX Roles and Grants, refer to Appendix C in Installing Oracle E-Business Suite Information Discovery, Release 12.1 V7 (Doc ID: 2165363.1).
Clover ETL within Endeca queries Subcontracting Views and does a full data load to the Subcontracting data domain 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 Subcontracting data domain which were updated in EBS after the last load. After the data has been loaded in the data domain, it can be queried and shown in the Subcontracting pages.
Subcontracting Data Sources in the Subcontracting Data Domain
The following data source is defined in the Subcontracting data domain in Endeca and is used to query data for Subcontracting page. The data source includes:
jmf - This data source queries data for the Subcontracting page.
The initial data upload for Endeca Search is complete when the Full graph is run as described in Installing Oracle E-Business Suite Information Discovery, Release 12.1 V7 (Doc ID: 2165363.1). 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.

You can load data to the JMF data domain by running graphs provided by Subcontracting.
To load data to the JMF data domain
Using the URL for the EID Integrator Server, navigate to the Sandboxes page and expand the graph node under Subcontracting.
Graphs to load data include:
FullLoadConfig.grf: This graph loads all Subcontracting data.
Note: Data deleted in EBS (Subcontracting) will not be removed from Endeca by running Incremental Graph. You must run Full.grf graph to remove all the data from Endeca and reload everything.
IncrementalLoadConfig.grf: This graph loads changed Subcontracting data.
Note: If you are loading data for the first time, then run FullLoadConfig.grf only. You can run other graphs according to your requirements. Run IncrementalLoadConfig.grf periodically. You can set up this graph from the Scheduling tab.
The following views are used by the ETL layer in Endeca to load Subcontracting data to the Endeca data domain:
View Name | Purpose |
---|---|
JMF_EID_SUBCONDET_V | Loads subcontracting order and replenishments data. |
JMF_EID_SUBCONADJ_V | Loads adjustments data. |
