30984931

Error when synchronizing Contact data

A fix has been made to rectify an error that occurred when synchronizing Supplier Contacts.

When the login id and the email address are changed against a supplier/site user on a satellite system, running a 17.0 version, this is causing an issue when trying to reflect this change on the global system, when running an 18.2 version.

From release 18.2, Oracle Identity Cloud Service (IDCS) manages users' login ids and email addresses. There is no ability to change them in Brand Compliance.

The fix ensures that the email address remains synchronized between satellite portals that are not controlled by IDCS, and the global portal to prevent this issue.

Issues saving updates in the Finished Products Standards section

A fix has been implemented to resolve user updates not being saved to the Microbiological Classification tables, within the Finished Products Standards section of product specifications. The issue occurred when a user was entering details into the Microbiological table and clicked Save on the specification. If the user continued to enter more details into the Microbiological table, then these additional details after the save were being lost. A temporary work around was to perform a Save and Exit on the specification and then afterwards reedit the specification and make the subsequent changes.

This fix also addresses the same issue on the Product Standards section of Produce Specifications.

Surveillance test reports not uploading site codes which do not match the product code

The issue occurs when site codes do not match any of the site codes on the Product Record. This issue has been resolved so when the system parameter Use Site Codes is set to Yes, if a site code does not match a site code on the Product Record, an import error will be generated to allow it to be corrected or ignored. However, the site code must still be a valid site code for the corresponding supplier.

Unable to load surveillance reports due to errors

Further improvements have been made to the pre-validation routine for the Surveillance Test Report upload to reduce the timeout exceptions that can be experienced.

Additionally, an issue of case sensitivity was included as part of 17.0.15.5, for the Country of Origin, Sample Type, Lab Opinion, Test Name, and Units. This case sensitivity has now been removed

Current recommendation is to still keep the Surveillance Test Report that is uploaded to be around the 500 rows in Excel.

Brief extract fails when criteria includes a date filter

To reduce the brief extract file size to within the maximum data size allowed, the advanced search criteria can be utilized to reduce the number of records, in the list view, for which the brief extract will be based on.

Produce Specification data not returned

A fix has been made to the legacy reporting solution, to rectify an issue with data not being returned for Produce Specification reports.

An update has been made to the installation SQL used in the creation of Produce areas, to make the specification selection clause generic rather than using hard-coded specification type codes.

The data was not being returned for Produce specifications that did not use the core set of codes: PRODUCE, PRODUCE1, PRODUCE2, COUNTERPRODUCE.

A new reporting domain is not required. This is an update to the reporting installer only. It affects the following two areas:

Spec Main Details > Main Details >
Specification Drafted By
Supplier Code
Supplier Name

Spec Main Details > Main Details >
Business Category
Business Category Path
