Module Impacted: Identifies the module impacted associated with the feature, if any.

- Small: These UI or process-based features are typically comprised of minor field, validation, or program changes. Therefore, the potential impact to users is minimal.
- Large: These UI or process-based features have more complex designs. Therefore, the potential impact to users is higher.
Delivered: Is the new feature available for use immediately after upgrade or must the feature be enabled or configured? If no, the feature is non-disruptive to end users and action is required (detailed steps below) to make the feature ready to use.

Support for Additional Retail applications

Oracle Retail Data Store has added support for replicating data from the following cloud services:

Customer Engagement Cloud Service
Store Inventory Operations Cloud Services

Note:

The minimum versions of these cloud services must be installed before replicating to RDS.

IDCS Authentication for Developer APEX Users

Oracle Retail Data Store now supports authenticating APEX Developer users against IDCS accounts rather than against database accounts, allowing for easier login and better user management. See the Retail Data Store Implementation Guide for more details.

New Usage Examples Documentation

Oracle Retail Data Store now includes how-to documentation for a number of RDS use cases. See the Retail Data Store Implementation Guide for details. This section of the Implementation Guide will be expanded over time.
