Creating and Managing Publication Maps

Hi, everyone. Today, I will be going over creating and managing Publication Maps. In this new feature, users will be able to create and manage publication maps through the Redwood Experience. This feature benefits your business by publishing your data in a more streamlined and efficient manner. You can also change the data that is sent to your spoke systems. The ingesting systems can now receive a subset of the deltas based on the previous publication.

This feature allows you to create and manage Publication Maps to map items and its related entities from Product Information Management with your spoke system attributes. I will now be going into the demo for this feature.

In this update, users will be able to leverage the Redwood Experience to create and manage Publication Maps. Publication Maps are used to map spoke attributes with master data attributes from the Product Information Management system. To launch the Publication Maps page, you can use the Manage Publication Maps task from the Product Information Management work area.

On this page, you can create search, edit, or duplicate Publication Maps. Let's go ahead and create one now. To create a new Publication Map, click the Add button. This will open a side drawer panel, where you can specify the name, description, output file type, and status for the Publication Map. You can also add a CSV data file as well.

Once the required information has been filled out, click the Create button on the bottom of the drawer panel. This will create the Publication Map and close the drawer. On this page, you can specify the mapping between the Oracle Product Hub attributes and target spoke system to which the data will be published. You can also edit the Publication Map description, output file type, and status in the Map Details section.

To configure the business rules for the Create Publication Maps drawer, select the Settings and Actions button on the top right corner of your screen. From here, click on Edit Page and Visual Builder Studio under Administration. This page shows the business rules for the Publication Maps. The side panel drawer shows that on this particular page, you can only configure business rules. No page properties or behaviors of the page can be modified.

To configure the business rules of the Create Publication Maps drawer, I'll go ahead and click on Configure Fields and Regions. This page outlines all the rules that have already been configured. The Built-in Rules section shows which rules have been seated.

Under Built-in Rules, I see that there are two seated rules created. This rule makes the delimiter visible and required. It also defaults the value of the delimiter to a comma when the output file type for the Publication Map has been selected as text. The next seated view shows the default settings for Fields and Regions. This default rule also does not have any conditions.

Let me go ahead and select the Publication Map I created. The side panel shows the same Configure Fields and Regions button as before, but it also shows the new page properties that I can change. The page properties are shown when the Publication Map has been selected to be on edit mode.

The first two page properties are to enable guided journeys. The next two page properties are for controlling the behavior of the fields on the header.

Today, I went through the basic functions of creating Publication Maps and gave you an introduction of the new feature. For more details, you can consult the help documentation. This is the end of the demo. Thank you so much for watching.
