Using Multiple Manifests

You may want to deploy or sideload multiple manifests for different purposes.

For example:

  • You may want to deploy a subset of Oracle Smart View for Office (Mac and Browser) functionality to your users while, at the same time, sideload a manifest containing new features that you plan to test and then deploy.
  • Users may need to create multiple-grid sheets containing grids based on Planning and Financial Consolidation and Close data sources.
  • Your users require the Smart View interface in more than 10 localized languages. Due a limit of 10 languages per manifest file, you must spread the languages across multiple manifest files.

You may deploy or sideload multiple manifests:

  1. From the same cloud data source for the same business process
  2. From the same cloud data source for different business processes
  3. From different cloud data sources for the same business process
  4. From different cloud data sources for the different business processes

Generally, deploying or sideloading multiple manifest files is as simple as repeating the deployment or sideloading procedures. However, if you plan to work with multiple manifests based on the same business process, described in numbers 1 and 3 above, an extra step required where you must redefine the <Id> element within the XML file in order to differentiate the manifests.
