This chapter covers the following topics:
This chapter provides implementation and setup information for users who have an earlier version of Oracle Installed 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.
Important: For customers who are upgrading to Release 12.2.5 and above, you will use the Interface Install Base Lines Concurrent Program to communicate transactional updates from Oracle Inventory to Oracle Installed Base.
The following modules must be installed and set up for Installed Base to work. Refer to the appropriate guides to install and set up these modules:
Oracle Inventory
Oracle Asset Tracking
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 Installed Base.
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 Installed Base Administrator 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.
