This chapter covers the following topics:
For information on installing Strategic Network Optimization on Microsoft Windows and UNIX, in a standalone environment that is not integrated with E-Business Suite (EBS), refer to the Oracle Strategic Network Optimization Installation Guide.
The procedures in this section are only required if you implement Strategic Network Optimization (SNO) with E-Business Suite.
The following patches are required for Oracle Process Manufacturing (OPM) users when implementing Strategic Network Optimization:
9319734:R12.GMP.B (with the following prerequisites)
8486861:R12.GMA.B (with the following prerequisites)
7587155:R12.INV.B
7627262:R12.INV.B
7015717:R12.GMP.B
In release 12.2, there are two files systems (FS1 and FS2) due to the new online patching tech stack. If you upgraded Value Chain Planning to 12.2.0 using 12.2.0 Rapid Install, perform the following procedure after the upgrade is complete:
Note: If you continue upgrade to 12.2.1, these actions are no longer needed. They are required to upgrade to 12.2.0, but not to 12.2.1 and higher.
Source to the FS2 file system on apps tier, and change directories to $MSC_TOP/bin.
Run the following commands:
$perl install_PS.pl $perl install_SNO.pl
Set the following Profile option settings after Strategic Network Optimization is installed:
Set "MSC: PS/SNO API Version" to 3.7 at Site Level.
Set "MSC: PS/SNO Data Store Path" to the value of $APPLCSF environment variable at Site Level. This variable is defined in "APPLSYS.env".
If Concurrent Tier and Web Tier are on different machines, set "MSC: PS/SNO Use DB for Integration Data" to "YES" .
If users want to download the xml files to the client machine for debugging purpose, set "MSC: PS/SNO Download XML Files" to "YES". The default value is "NO".
If users want to publish the output xml files from SNO to the client under data_store/plan_id path, set "MSC: SNO Publish on Client" to "YES". Setting the profile option to "NO" helps to improve SNO publish performance. The default value is "NO".
If you are using a Windows server for SNO integration, set the server system variables below. This is a one-time mandatory step.
Set SCP_ROOT_DRIVE to the drive where the Oracle product is installed (for example, C:).
Set SCP_MSC_TOP to the MSC_TOP value using forward slash (/).
C:/oracle/VIS/apps/apps_st/appl/msc/12.0.0
Restart the server to apply your environment variable changes.
Set "MSC: PS/SNO Data Store Path" using forward slash (/).
C:/u01/oracle/viscomn/admin
Review the following when implementing Strategic Network Optimization:
Uninstall Strategic Network Optimization application from your client machine and reinstall again through the Workbench. This step ensures that the latest version of Strategic Network Optimization is applied to client machines.
Strategic Network Optimization is English only. The EBS translations can be downloaded from My Oracle Support as they become available.
As part of your setup, ensure the Strategic Planner responsibility is assigned to the appropriate user.
Ensure that Organization security is enabled for Strategic Planner responsibility.
After applying software patch, restart the application server.
