A Appendix: Generating the Configuration for Plug-in Options

Inventory Planning Optimization Cloud Service supports generating different configurations using plug-in automation for different configuration options.

Creating the Configuration Using Plug-ins

Perform the following steps to extend and deploy the IPOCS-Demand Forecasting / IPOCS-Lifecycle Allocation and Replenishment application.

  1. Download the RDF_Starter_Kit.zip and unzip the content.

  2. Open the RPAS Cloud Edition Configuration Tools from the Starter Kit and open the configuration RDF within the starter kit.

  3. Save the configuration and exit the RPAS Cloud Edition Configuration Tools.

  4. Open the Cygwin from where config tools was launched and then go to the bin directory.

    cd $RIDE_HOME/bin;

  5. Ensure that BSA_LOG_HOME and BSA_TEMP_DIR are set to valid directories. For example:

    mkdir -p "${ORACLE_HOME}/logs"

    mkdir -p "${ORACLE_HOME}/temp"

    export BSA_LOG_HOME="${ORACLE_HOME}/logs"

    export BSA_TEMP_DIR="${ORACLE_HOME}/temp"

  6. Run the following plug-in script to generate the RDF configuration. In the following example -c should be followed with full cygwin path where you have unzipped the starter kit.

    The example uses the directory: /cygdrive/c/Oracle/RDF_Starter_Kit.

  7. Run this script:

    ra_auto_gen_config.ksh -c /cygdrive/c/Oracle/RDF_Starter_Kit -n RDF — genAllFiles

    The script should run and complete with non-zero return code as shown in Figure A-1.

    You can run the script with the -clean option to remove any customization from GA solutions.

    ra_auto_gen_config.ksh -c /cygdrive/c/Oracle/RDF_Starter_Kit -n RDF —clean — genAllFiles

    Figure A-1 Run the Script

    Run the Script
  8. After the solution is generated, zip the RDF folder and name it as RDF_config.zip. It can be used during application build or patching of the configuration.
