The Oracle Retail Data Extractor (ORDE) application enables customers to extract data from Oracle Retail Merchandising System (RMS) for Oracle Retail Insights (RI) consumption.

Oracle Retail Analytics (RA) was converted from being an on-premise application to a cloud based service offering named Oracle Retail Insights Cloud Services (RI). Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) mappings for extracting data from Oracle Retail Merchandising System (RMS) called as SDE Mappings (Source Dependent Extracts) were removed because RMS is an on-premise product and could not be sourced directly from the cloud.
