Integration with External Systems

Innovation Management integrates with systems such as Agile PLM, and Product Development, through business objects like view objects, application modules and web services.

You can perform the following tasks by integrating target systems:

• Associate issues to Ideas

  Relate issues to Concepts which are improving the product

  Relate Issues or Ideas to Requirements to drive created or improved designs

• Create Items in Product Development from Concept Components

  Search and use an existing Item to create a Concept

  Associate Requirements to Agile Items (map requirements that were used to build the eventual product)

  Map attributes from Agile PLM Item to Concept Component

  Associate Agile PLM objects with Oracle PLM objects as version-specific relationships

• Allow Proposals to be related to or drive projects in Agile PPM

  See status of Projects within Proposal

  See key attributes of Project within Proposal

  Integrate actual cost and resources from Agile PLM Project into the Proposal

  Check how Proposal is progressing against Projected cost and resources

Refer to the Oracle Product Value Chain Cloud Implementing Innovation Management and Product Development Guide for detailed information on the integration processes.

Note: If you're integrating Innovation Management to Agile PLM (9.3.4 or later), you also require WebLogic Suite or WebLogic Suite for Oracle Applications.

Multiple Systems

You can configure multiple target systems during setup, but you can activate only one system at any time. It isn't advisable to change the target systems after you create links to them.

Automatic Authentication

Single Sign-On (SSO) enables automatic sign in to the external system from Innovation Management.

For information on configuring SSO, contact your administrator.
