• The commit size defaults to 500.
• Data will be migrated in the defined base language.

Run the Upgrade Product Management Data Scheduled Process

Tips And Considerations

• When you opt in to this feature, you must migrate history on existing changes to use the new format, or they will not be visible.
  • During the migration, rows may have missing data in certain columns, which depends on the availability of the data prior to the migration.

• The History table displays 25 rows per page, but you can use Query By Example to refine the history records or you can use Export to Excel to download all the rows.

• When you create or add an affected item to a change, a single row containing audit details is recorded in the history table.

• History is not tracked for:
  • Change attachments 
  • Affected object attachments
  • Supplier organization redlines

• You can import change history using the change FBDI template, and the application won't run any validations while importing the data.

• You must opt in to the feature Use Simplified Change Management Interface to use the new change history tab in the Product Information Management work area.
  • If you opt in to Use Simplified Change Management Interface after you have opted in to this feature for some time, you must run the Upgrade Product Management Data scheduled process to migrate change history in the Product Information Management work area.
• If the View Change History privilege isn't available in the Security Console, run the Import User and Role Application Security Data scheduled process to update the Oracle Fusion Applications Security tables. For more details, see: Schedule the Import User and Role Application Security Data Process
