The Environment ID is a unique universal identifier of this instance of the system. When the system is installed, the environment id is populated with a six digit random number. While it is highly unlikely that multiple installs of the system at a given implementation would have the same environment ID, it is the obligation of the implementers to ensure that the environment ID is unique across all installed product environments.
System Owner will be Customer Modification.
The Admin Menu Order controls how the various control tables are grouped on Admin.
- If you choose Functional, each control table appears under a menu item that corresponds with its functional area. Note, the menu that is used when this option is chosen is the one identified with a menu type of Admin.
- If you choose Alphabetical, each control table appears under a menu item that corresponds with its first letter, using a Roman alphabet. For example, the Language control table will appear under the L menu item entry.
The Language should be set to the primary language used by the installation. Note that if multiple languages are supported, each user may define their preferred language.
The Currency Code is the default currency code for transactions in the product.
If your product supports effective dated characteristics on any of its objects, define the date to be used as the Characteristic Default Date on objects without an implicit start date. The date you enter in this field will default when new characteristics are added to these objects (and the default date can be overridden by the user).
Active Owner displays the owner of newly added system data (system data is data like algorithm types, zones, To Do types, etc.). This will be Customer Modification unless you are working within a development region.
Country and Time Zone represent the default country and time zone that should be used throughout the application.
Turn on Seasonal Time Shift if your company requires seasonal time shift information to be defined. Note that this is currently only applicable to Oracle Customer Care and Billing > Interval Billing functionality.
