Column Definitions

Feature: Provides a description of the feature being delivered.
Module Impacted: Identifies the module associated with the feature, if any.
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.
- 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.
Customer Action Required: You must take action before these features can be used. These features are delivered disabled and you choose if and when to enable them.

Feature	Module Impacted	Scale	Delivered	Customer Action Required?
Schedule and Job-Level Email Notifications	Notifications	Medium	Yes	Yes, if using custom schedules
Auto-Restart Shell Script-Based Job Failures	Shell Script Based Jobs	Small	Yes	No
New Nightly Status API	Public API	Small	Yes	No
Option to Ignore Inter-Schedule and External Dependencies When Source Job is Disabled	Inter-Schedule and External Dependency	Small	Yes	Yes, if feature is desired

Schedule and Job-Level Email Notifications

POM currently only allows email addresses to be configured at the whole POM instance level. In 25.1.101.0, POM will also allow email addresses to be configured at the batch schedule level and at the job level. A new screen is being added in Retail Home 25.1.101.0 to allow email address configuration at those levels.

The biggest need for this enhancement is the ability for customers to configure notifications for custom schedules to be sent only to internal email addresses. They would then exclude the Oracle Retail Cloud Operations group from getting these notifications unnecessarily. Customers who have created custom schedules should make this change after upgrading to this release.

Auto-Restart Shell Script-Based Job Failures

POM will automatically restart shell-based jobs that fail with exit code of 99, up to two restart attempts.

New Nightly Status API

A new public API is being implemented in POM that provides the status of the Nightly process. It includes details such as the start time, progress, remaining time, expected completion time, target batch duration, and whether the expected completion falls within the target timeframe.

Option to Ignore Inter-Schedule and External Dependencies When Source Job is Disabled

A new ISD_INHERIT_JOB_STATUS schedule-level system option is being introduced. When set to TRUE, this directs POM to ignore Inter-Schedule and External dependencies when the source job (a job waiting on a dependency to be fulfilled) is not scheduled to run (disabled) for the day. The dependency is honored regardless of the source job enabled/disabled status if the new system option is not added or if it exists and is set to FALSE.
