Chapter 1: What’s New in This Release

Chapter2-1

This chapter contains information on new product features for Extensibility Pack 3.7 of Oracle Agile Product Lifecycle Management for Process.

Chapter2-1

What’s New in This Release?

This extensibility pack was focused on creating reports that leverage our new hierarchy denormalization service. You can now quickly see across an entire specification hierarchy reviewing suppliers, supporting documentation and even quality issues.

 

The following items are included in this release:

 

Where Used Reports

New Where Used reports have been created. These reports are more robust and feature rich than the current core where used control. They include all specification associations like associated specifications, alternate inputs and master specifications. 

 

The following reports are now available:

 

 


 

Where Used – Parents lists all parent specifications where a specific specification was used.   Quickly see how many hierarchies are affected by a single raw material. This report respects all application security, so if a user doesn’t have read access to a specification they will not see that specification listed.

 

 

 


 

Where Used – Parents and Children lists all parents and their children where a specific specification is used. However due to performance concerns this report does not respect application security so a user can see the existence of a specification even if they don’t have full read access to it.  

 

 

 

For more information see the Agile Product Lifecycle Management for Process Reporting Guide


Supporting Document Review Report

The supporting document review report allows you to quickly see all supporting documents within a specification hierarchy including supplier documents stored in SCRM. For example, when you are on a finished good you can quickly review all SCRM supplier documents without leaving the trade specification.

 

 

For more information see the Agile Product Lifecycle Management for Process Reporting Guide


Supplier Review Report

The supplier review report allows a user to quickly see all suppliers involved within a specification hierarchy.  You can quickly see all of the suppliers involved, their status, when their next scheduled audit date is and even if they have quality issues reported against them. 

 

 

For more information see the Agile Product Lifecycle Management for Process Reporting Guide


Open Issues by Hierarchy

The open issues by hierarchy report allows a user to quickly see all outstanding and historical PQM issues associated with a specification hierarchy.  

 

 

For more information see the Agile Product Lifecycle Management for Process Reporting Guide

 

IMPORTANT: Hierarchy Denormalization Service is required for these reports. You can learn more about this service in the Agile Product Lifecycle Management for Process Hierarchy Denormalization User Guide.


Attachments Web Service

The AttachmentService web services provide operations to get attachment files and rich texts of GSM specifications, and SCRM companies, facilities, and sourcing approvals.

 

AttachmentService is different from previous web services in that it takes advantage of WCF RESTful Service framework in .NET 3.5. Unlike SOAP-based web services, RESTful services are called directly by HTTP requests and the results are returned as HTTP responses.

 

The following operations are supported by AttachmentService:

 

 

See the Agile Product Lifecycle Management for Process Web Services Guide for details.
