Enable and Set Up Redwood Pages

Redwood is Oracle’s next-generation user experience. Redwood brings state-of-the-art, consumer-grade user experiences to the sophisticated enterprise scenarios that Oracle enables. Many of the application pages and task flows have been re-created in Redwood to improve the user experience and, in some cases, to introduce enhanced capabilities, such as improved search.

Enable Redwood Pages

Most pages will be enabled by using a profile option to turn them “on” or “off.” Many, though not all, of the Redwood-related profile options are “turned off” by default. You can decide whether, and when, to enable those Redwood pages in your enterprise’s implementation. At some point, each Redwood page will be “turned on” by default.

Note that not all Redwood pages are controlled by profile options. Some are controlled by opting in to features in the Offerings or Setup and Maintenance work areas. But in most cases, if an existing application page is re-created in Redwood, that page is controlled by a profile option. Additional details may be found in the What’s New guides for maintenance for each release, as well as in additional sections in this guide if specific setup is required.

Redwood pages that include a search and results region may use the Oracle Search Cloud Service (OSCS). Therefore, in addition to enabling the profile and ensuring you have the right privileges, you must perform the initial ingest of the object data into its corresponding index. If this step is not completed, the pages won't display any data.

Redwood Pages in Maintenance

Redwood Page or Feature	Link to the Topic
Asset Information Page	Manage your installed base assets using either the legacy Manage Assets page or the Redwood page Asset Information Management. See the How You Use Smart Search to Search For and View Assets in the New Assets UI topic to know more.
Maintenance Supervision	You can manage your maintenance work orders using either the existing Manage Maintenance Work Orders page or the Redwood page, Maintenance Supervision. To enable Maintenance Supervision for supervisors, go through the Manage Work Using Maintenance Supervision section in this guide. Also, see the Maintenance Supervision chapter in the Using Maintenance guide to know how supervisors can use this workbench.
My Maintenance Work	You can report your maintenance work orders using either the existing Dispatch List page or the Redwood page, My Maintenance Work. To enable My Maintenance Work for technicians, go through the Report Work Using My Maintenance Work section in this guide. See the My Maintenance Work chapter of the Using Maintenance guide to know how technicians can use this workbench.

Additionally, you may need to configure settings for these pages using the Asset Maintenance Parameters, as covered in the Set Up Maintenance topic.

It's recommended that you review this document for every new release using My Oracle Support: SCM Redwood Pages with Profile Options (Doc ID 3037517.1). The table in the Profile Options for Redwood Pages section of this document identifies the profile options that control each Redwood page or task flow, and the release in which the Redwood page will be enabled by default, if that release has been determined.

Manage Oracle Search Indexes

Oracle Search indexes are used to manage data and provide search services across multiple pages and workbenches in maintenance using the Oracle Search Cloud Service (OSCS). During implementation and later through the enablement of new features, follow instructions in this guide, along with the release What’s New documentation, to enable, use, and manage these indexes:

Object	Index name for initial ingestion	Index name for reingest
Installed Base Assets	fa-alm-asset	IB_ASSET_BULK_INGEST
Work Orders	fa-alm-work-order	MNT_WO_BULK_INGEST
Asset Work Orders	fa-alm-work-order-asset	MNT_WO_BULK_INGEST
Work Definition	fa-alm-work-definition	MNT_WD_BULK_INGEST
Maintenance Forecasts	fa-alm-maintenanceforecasts	MNT_FORECAST_BULK_INGEST
Saved Searches	fa-hcm-savedsearch	Reingest isn't required.

To begin, you need to enable the Oracle Search Extension Framework to create indexes, ingest predefined indexes, and manage search capabilities:

• Set the Enable/Disable Search Ext Framework (ORA_FND_SEARCH_EXT_ENABLED) profile option to Yes.
• Make sure that you have the Manage Scheduled Job Definition (FND_MANAGE_SCHEDULED_JOB_DEFINITION_PRIV) privilege to run scheduled processes.
• Submit the scheduled process to create the index definition and perform initial ingest to the OSCS process for creating indexes and ingesting predefined indexes.
  • Job Name: ESS job to create index definition and perform initial ingest to OSCS.
  • Index Name to Reingest: fa-alm-work-order

Note: If you don't specify any index names when submitting the process, the process runs for all predefined indexes.

During the implementation of each object’s pages or workbenches, you will see instructions to submit the scheduled process to create the index definition and perform initial ingest to OSCS before using the feature. You can also submit the process if the index is already created, and you want to ingest it again. This process clears the index and reingests all the data:

• Program name: ESS job to create index definition and perform initial ingest to OSCS.
• Index Name: See the table above by object

Once the index is created, most indexes will require periodic reingestion as not all modes of data creation or update trigger the near real-time ingest of the index. Examples include File-based import of new and updated data. Therefore, you will need to update the index by running a separate scheduled process. This scheduled process doesn't clear the index, but only updates the existing index with the changes from these transactions. We recommend that you ingest these updates at least once a day, or as often as your business requires, to keep the index current.

• Program Name to Run Bulk Ingest: ESS job to run Bulk ingest to OSCS.
• Index Name to Reingest: See the table above by object.

Manage Maintenance Work Definitions

Create and manage maintenance processes in your organization more efficiently with the maintenance work definition using Redwood. A maintenance work definition includes operations, operation items, and resources required for a maintenance or repair process. The previous user experience focused on visualizing the data relationships within a work definition, displaying a limited view of the dataset, and utilizing mouse-driven navigation and techniques like drag and drop or expand and collapse. By enabling the Redwood page, you will find a user experience that provides quick editing and better information density for work definitions with extensive operational data.

Steps to Enable

To enable the Manage Maintenance Work Definitions page, you will switch on the ORA_MNT_WORK_DEFINITIONS_REDWOOD_ENABLED profile option to see this Redwood page. Here's how you do it:

1. Navigate to the Setup and Maintenance work area and perform a global search of Manage Administrator Profile Values.
2. On the Manage Administrator Profile Values page, search for the ORA_MNT_WORK_DEFINITIONS_REDWOOD_ENABLED profile option.
3. Set the profile option to Yes at the site level.
4. Save the changes.

After you enable the profile option, you need to enable the Oracle Search Extension Framework to create indexes, ingest predefined indexes, and manage search capabilities:

• Set the Enable/Disable Search Ext Framework (ORA_FND_SEARCH_EXT_ENABLED) profile option to Yes.
• Make sure that you have the Manage Scheduled Job Definition (FND_MANAGE_SCHEDULED_JOB_DEFINITION_PRIV) privilege to run scheduled processes
• Submit the scheduled process to create the index definition and perform initial ingest to the OSCS process for creating indexes and ingesting predefined indexes.
  • Job Name: ESS job to create index definition and perform initial ingest to OSCS.
  • Index Name to Reingest: fa-alm-work-definition

Note: If you don't specify any index names when submitting the process, the process runs for all predefined indexes.

After enablement and index ingestion, ensure that users have the existing dispatch list privileges:

• Manage Maintenance Work Definitions
  • MNT_MANAGE_MAINTENANCE_WORK_DEFINITIONS_PRIV
• View Maintenance Work Definitions
  • MNT_VIEW_MAINTENANCE_WORK_DEFINITIONS_PRIV

Manage Maintenance Forecasts

Manage maintenance forecasts in your organization more efficiently using Oracle's smart search and filters. Maintenance programs define and generate a preventive maintenance forecast for one or more affected assets in a maintenance-enabled organization. The forecast is then used as the basis for creating preventive maintenance work orders, thus reducing the workload for maintenance planners, and allowing them to focus on maintenance program auditing, optimization, and exception-based events. By enabling the Opt-in for the updated page, you will find an improved user experience.

Steps to Enable

To enable the Manage Forecasts page you will need to enable the Opt In for the feature.

After you enable the opt in, you need to enable the Oracle Search Extension Framework to create indexes, ingest predefined indexes, and manage search capabilities:

• Set the Enable/Disable Search Ext Framework (ORA_FND_SEARCH_EXT_ENABLED) profile option to Yes.
• Make sure that you have the Manage Scheduled Job Definition (FND_MANAGE_SCHEDULED_JOB_DEFINITION_PRIV) privilege to run scheduled processes.
• Submit the scheduled process to create the index definition and perform initial ingest to the OSCS process for creating indexes and ingesting predefined indexes.
  • Job Name: ESS job to create index definition and perform initial ingest to OSCS.
  • Index Name to Reingest: fa-alm-maintenanceforecasts

Note:

If you don't specify any index names when submitting the process, the process runs for all predefined indexes.

After enablement and index ingestion, ensure that users have these privileges:

• Manage Maintenance Forecasts
  • MNT_MANAGE_MAINTENANCE_FORECASTS_PRIV
• View Maintenance Forecasts
  • MNT_VIEW_MAINTENANCE_FORECASTS_PRIV
