4+ Weeks Before the Date of Your TEST CADENCE Environment Update(s)

Release Readiness

• Review the resources on the Release Readiness page. To access the Cloud Readiness page for Oracle Warehouse Management:
  • Access Cloud Applications Readiness - Supply Chain and Manufacturing - All.
  • Scroll down to Warehouse Management to review the latest feature updates and information.

There, you will find:

• Spotlight videos that give you a quick overview of the major themes in the update.
• New Feature Summary that gives you a snap-shot look at the new features delivered in the update.
• What’s New that is your primary resource to help with your update planning. The guide is organized by functional areas in the product, and it describes all the new features and enhancements and how to enable them. It links to other resources that you might need. The guide will also alert you to the few features or changes that are delivered automatically, without requiring any action on your part. If they apply to you, features that are delivered automatically are important to test before the production update.
• What’s New Features with Opt In Expiration which provides information about expired Opt In features and Opt In features that will expire in an upcoming update.
  1. Expired Opt In Features: This table shows features which were originally delivered as optional but are now enabled by default. These features are very important to test before the production update.
  2. Opt In Features with Future Expiration: This table displays optional features and the "Optional Until" version when the feature will no longer be optional. These features retain your ability to toggle the "Opted In" value from "True" to "False." If an optional feature is toggled off for this update, you should thoroughly test in a test cadence environment (by setting "Opted In" to "True") before the feature reaches the "Optional Until" version.

Other Review Tasks

• Prepare or update test plans to include steps to run through your main business processes.
• Sign in to your test cadence environment to make sure it is working as expected and is a good representation of your production environment.
  • If you haven’t been actively changing the setup and configuration of the test environment since the last update, and the environment is working as expected, then you’re done with this step.
  • If you have been actively developing in your test environment, changing the setup and configuration, and it is no longer similar to your production environment, schedule a Production-to-Test Environment Refresh to align test with production. You have to schedule this at least three weeks in advance of the requested refresh date, which must be at least a week before your test cadence update date. See My Oracle Support Doc ID 2095509.1 for more information about the Environment Refresh Policy.
• Review integration tests to confirm APIs will still work and to exercise your agents and back end processes.
