4 Deprecation Advisory

As part of the continuous delivery model for cloud services, features and technical components of a solution may be removed or replaced to enhance the security, performance, and overall quality of the cloud service. When this occurs, the deprecation of a feature or component will be announced in advance, allowing customers sufficient time to anticipate the change and transition to any enhanced replacement feature/component. After the deprecation is announced, the deprecated feature or component will remain in the solution until the planned removal date and will not be enhanced or made compatible with other new features.

With this update, removed references in the documentation indicating that the Oracle Retail Store Inventory Management (SIM) product supports uploading inventory in bulk.

Note:

Instead, Order Broker can request interactive inventory updates from Oracle Retail Store Inventory Management (SIM). If a system is flagged as Online and a Connection Type of SIM is specified, Order Broker sends a request message to obtain interactive inventory updates for a specific product when it requires the information for a LocateItems request, a SubmitOrder request, a Product Availability request, or when it needs to “reshop” a rejected order. Bulk import of locations, products, product locations, and inventory updates is available through the Omnichannel Cloud Data Service (OCDS) or the Order Broker product import files.
