Activity	Description
Learn the configuration tools	The Retail Analytics and Planning has many tools available to support an implementation, such as Retail Home, POM, and APEX. Knowing how to use these tools is an important first step in the process. Review the Implementation Tools chapter for details.
Verify Object Storage connectivity	Generate access tokens for interacting with Object Storage and test the connection, as it is required for all file movement into and out of the Oracle cloud. Review the Implementation Tools chapter for details.
Configure the system calendar	Update the parameters that define the type and characteristics of your business calendar, such as the start and end dates RAP will use to define calendar generation.
Configure the system languages	Update the master list of supported languages that need to be present in addition to your primary language, such as the need for seeing data in both English and French.
Configure history retention policies	Certain data tables in Retail Insights that are leveraged by other applications on the platform have a history retention period after which some data may be erased.
Configure application-specific settings	All applications in the Retail Analytics and Planning have their own settings which must be reviewed before starting an implementation of those modules.
