Updates to the Job Creation Workflow

A new Jobs interface with dedicated tabs for creating different types of jobs—Import Export, App Maintenance, and Data Integration—is now available. As part of this change, the job-related options previously available in the Actions menu on the Applications Overview screen have been moved to the applicable Jobs tabs. The changes to the Actions menu are illustrated in the following image:

    • Data Integration to create a job to manage Data Integration tasks related to pipeline, integration, batch, and system maintenance.
  3. Click Create.

Rationale: These changes are part of the technological transition within the Cloud EPM environments. The updated listing pages, introduced in earlier releases, offered enhanced search capabilities and were widely adopted by our customers.

Where possible, Oracle provides a transition period for you to adapt to interface changes. In this case, the redesigned page structure requires a direct transition to updated navigation. As Oracle continues improving the interface, we aim to preserve familiar workflows wherever possible while making everyday tasks simpler and more efficient.

Business Benefit: This redesign categorizes jobs to streamline job creation.
