Setups Required to See Downtime Alerts

Get some setups in place before you get to see downtime alerts for resources in supply plans.

To see downtime predictions for the resources and their instances in Supply Planning, enable sync of the manufacturing plant with Oracle Production Monitoring, part of the Oracle Fusion Cloud IoT Intelligent Applications. Also, create an application for Production Monitoring server and enable settings to show predictions and anomalies on Planning Advisor for supply plans.
  • Set up an application for Production Monitoring server.
  • Sync a manufacturing plant with Production Monitoring.
  • Enable alerts from Production Monitoring to see the predictions and anomalies for supply plans.

Set Up an Application for Production Monitoring

Provide the Production Monitoring server details to connect and get the product monitoring events through Manage Setup Content. For example, here’s how you can set up the server application:

  1. In Setup and Maintenance, click tasks icon and select Manage Setup Content. On the Manage Setup Content page, click Manage Integration of Additional Applications.
  2. On the Create Application Integration page, create an application and provide the following connection details:
    1. Application Name: Production Monitoring.
    2. Full URL: Use the following format:https://hostname

      Here, hostname is the host name of your Production Monitoring instance. For example: https://xyz.oraclecloud.com

    3. Partner Name: Production Monitoring.
    4. Security Policy: Select a security policy.
    5. User Name: Specify the user name for connecting to your Production Monitoring.
    6. Password: Specify the password for connecting to your Production Monitoring.
      Note: If you change the password for connecting to your Production Monitoring instance in future, then you must update the password in Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Chain Planning.
  3. Click Save and Close to save the application integration entry.

Enable Syncing a Manufacturing Plant with Production Monitoring

Enable your manufacturing plant for real time synchronization with Production Monitoring. If this is enabled for the first time, a factory is automatically created in Production Monitoring.

The parameter, Oracle SCM Organizations Mapping under Manufacturing Cloud Service integration settings in Oracle IoT, influences how manufacturing plants are organized within Production Monitoring. If you select One to One option, IoT server creates an independent IoT organization for each manufacturing plant. If you select Many to One option, entities from all manufacturing plants go into one IoT Organization. For more details, see the Integrate Oracle Fusion Cloud Manufacturing with Production Monitoring topic in the Using Oracle Internet of Things Production Monitoring Cloud Service guide.

Here's how the parameter is enabled:
  1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, go here:
    • Offering: Manufacturing and Supply Chain Materials Management
    • Functional Area: Manufacturing Master Data
    • Task: Manage Plant Parameters
    Note: This task is enabled for organizations in which resource instances are set up.
  2. On the Manage Plant Parameters page, select the Enable synchronization to IoT Production Monitoring check box.
  3. Click Save and Close.

Show Alerts from Production Monitoring on Planning Advisor

Select the advanced supply plan options to include alerts and show anomalies from Production Monitoring. Here’s how you do:

  1. From home page, navigate to Supply Chain Planning > Supply Planning.
  2. Open a plan.
  3. On a plan, click Actions and select Edit Plan Options.
  4. On the Edit Plan Options UI, go to the Supply tab.
  5. Click Select Advanced Options.
  6. On the Supply Advanced Options UI, in the General tab, select these options:
    1. Include alerts from IoT Production Monitoring: This enables a plan to get predictions from Production Monitoring. These alerts provide information of current and predicted machine health to improve factory uptime.

      On selecting this, Planning Advisor appears on the banner of a plan. The predictions detected and synced from Production Monitoring are shown on Planning Advisor.

    2. Show anomalies: This check box is enabled only when Include alerts from Production Monitoring is selected. Selecting this check box gets anomalies from Production Monitoring.
  7. Click Done.

In addition to this, schedule the Retrieve Production Monitoring Alerts scheduled process to show the alerts in real time.
