Release Notes

Release 16.0.103

E88934-01

August 2017

This document highlights the major changes for the 16.0.x releases of Oracle Retail Data Extractor.


Note:

The non-sequential version number of this Oracle Retail application is intentional.

Overview

Oracle Retail Data Extractor (ORDE) provides data extraction capabilities for sourcing data from various Oracle Retail application data sources into a flat file format that facilitates loading into the Oracle Retail Insights family of analytic applications.

The primary characteristics of the Oracle Retail Data Extractor are:

  • Source Integration Solution: The Retail Data Extractor provides data integration with source applications such as Oracle Retail Merchandising Foundation Cloud Service.

  • Performant ETL Code: The Retail Data Extractor data processing tool, Oracle Data Integrator (ODI), offers high performance for the database batch processes on an Oracle database.

  • Extensibility: The Retail Data Extractor ETL code can be customized and extended for client-specific needs.

Oracle Retail Cloud Services and Business Agility

Oracle Retail Cloud Service is hosted in the Oracle Cloud with the security features inherent to Oracle technology and a robust data center classification, providing significant uptime. The Oracle Cloud team is responsible for installing, monitoring, patching, and upgrading retail software.

Included in the service is continuous technical support, access to software feature enhancements, hardware upgrades, and disaster recovery. The Cloud Service model helps to free customer IT resources from the need to perform these tasks, giving retailers greater business agility to respond to changing technologies and to perform more value-added tasks focused on business processes and innovation.

Oracle Retail Software Cloud Service is acquired exclusively through a subscription service (SaaS) model. This shifts funding from a capital investment in software to an operational expense. Subscription-based pricing for retail applications offers flexibility and cost effectiveness.

Functional Enahancements

Item Season Phase Functionality

The interface has been enhanced to extract the Item-Season-Phase relationship from RMS. Previously this was limited to Item-Season relationships.

Configurable End of Record Delimiter for Data Interfaces

RDE has been enhanced to utilize a configurable end-of-record delimiter to indicate the end of the record. This can be configured as one of the application parameters (carriage return is the default value). The job to construct sql*loader source flat files should be able to handle the configurable end-of-record parameter in order to construct correct flat files.

    • Current unavailable inventory by status code is written to INV_STATUS_QTY.QTY

    • Daily rollups of all unavailable inventory are written to ITEM_LOC_SOH.NON_SELLABLE_QTY

  • This data will be extracted from RMS via newly added Retail Data Extractor programs.
