Support for Additional Retail Applications: ORBC, RICS
The RGBU applications Oracle Retail Brand Compliance (ORBC) and Retail Integration Cloud Service (RICS) are now capable of replicating their data to RDS for use in custom extensions. APEX workspaces for these products are now available.
Support for Partial Data Pump
This is an operational improvement affecting the initial bulk load of RGBU application data into the RDS replicated schema. In the past, every time a source application patch was appiled, the entire application’s data set needed to be data loaded into RDS so that any table updates were reflected. That process has now been improved so that only the modified tables need to be data loaded into RDS.
Note:
This feature depends on the source application team adding support for it, so it will become available as the source applications enable it.
