Understanding Operational Device Management

Oracle Utilities Operational Device Management provides functionality to handle large volumes of assets and to manage the receipt, installation, maintenance, tracking, and removal of those assets. Oracle Utilities Operational Device Management is purchased as a separate license to further enhance Oracle Utilities Work and Asset Management. However, since these two products are typically always sold together, this guide includes seamless documentation for both products. Contact your sales representative or Oracle Support for more information.

Please refer to the About Operational Device Management section in the Business User Guide for a conceptual overview of asset functionality.

Device Assets and Components

The application provides a number of utilities specific business objects that can generally be used to create assets and components for specific purposes. However, your implementation will likely require several business objects to define assets and components of other types. Refer to the Understanding Asset Types section for general information on configuring assets and components.
