Selected Sales and Operations Planning Bug Fixes in This Update

This update includes some bug fixes that can change the way Oracle Sales and Operations Planning works. This isn't a full list of all the bug fixes in this update. This list includes the bug fixes that can cause a noticeable change in application behavior.

Export Data in Format Specified in a Planning Table

In Update 24A, we introduced the Export Data in Format Specified in a Planning Table feature. This feature lets you export tables to Microsoft Excel while retaining the original table layout. With this feature, you can export tables that you weren’t previously able to open because they exceeded the 250,000 cell limitation. You can invoke this feature in the following ways:

• Use the Actions drop-down button in an open plan.
• Use the Actions menu on the Manage Plans page of the selected plan.
• Run the Export Data in Table Format scheduled process with a Plan and Table Name selected.

After this feature was introduced, we discovered that exporting tables with more than 2 million cells could cause an out-of-memory issue and, in some cases cause a server to stop functioning or operating correctly. To protect against this, we are introducing a limitation in Update 24B that will prevent the export of a table that contains more than 2 million cells. It’s possible that you successfully exported a table that exceeded this limitation in Update 24A. If so, this will no longer be possible in Update 24B and later releases.
