  • Scale: Identifies the size of the feature. Options are:

    • 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.

    • Medium: These UI or process-based features are typically comprised of field, validation, or program changes. Therefore, the potential impact to users is moderate.

External Application Client Management

With this update, the Manage External Application Access screen now calls Oracle Retail Home APIs, instead of Oracle Identity Cloud Service (IDCS) or Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Identity and Access Management (OCI IAM) APIs, to generate new application clients and secrets, and to regenerate a secret for an existing client. This enhancement streamlines the client management process and improves security by centralizing client-related operations.

Two new admin properties (CPRP) are introduced to facilitate the Retail Home API integration:

  • retail.home.service.url: Stores the URL of the Retail Home service, auto-populated during the upgrade.

  • retail.home.scope: Defines the scope for the Retail Home service, also auto-populated.

Note:

Oracle Retail Home version 25.1.301.0 or above is required.

Order Management will continue to communicate directly to IDCS or OCI IAM for retrieving new clients and new user creation.

The ability to generate an ‘Xoffice On Prem’ client is no longer available within Order Management System. Instead, within the Manage OAuth Client option in Retail Home, create the Client using the ‘Xoffice OnPrem Omni App’ template, if not already created. Once created in Retail Home, click Refresh Applications to update the clients and assign web service access.
