4 Post-Provisioning

In the first few days after your initial provisioning, it is recommended that you do each of the following tasks, as they are applicable for your implementation.

Cloud Service Documentation

Refer to the Deployment chapter for a complete list of documentation, training materials, and information about the Oracle Retail community.

Cloud Service Access

Set up accounts for users who will be part of implementing the service, including business owners and implementation partners.

Access My Oracle Support

Validate access to the My Oracle Support portal (see Register Customer Support Identifier for registration and access to the Support portal) to ensure you have access to log Service Requests, view the knowledge base, and download content.

BI Publisher

BI Publisher is available as part of your Supply Chain Collaboration Cloud Service subscription. It allows you access to create custom reports directly against the Supply Chain Collaboration Cloud Service database. Reports created in BI Publisher can be scheduled, exported into a spreadsheet or other document, or can be configured to run as a custom report. For more information on using BI Publisher to create custom reports, see the Oracle Retail Supplier Evaluation Cloud Service Reports User Guide. See also the Oracle documentation on BI Publisher.

Note:

Supply Chain Collaboration Cloud Service uses the BI Publisher software in an embedded model. This means that you as a user will not interact directly with BI Publisher. Instead, you will have access to report templates within Supply Chain Collaboration that can be utilized. You will also have the ability to create your own templates and upload these into Supply Chain Collaboration Cloud Service for report generation.

Web Services

Details of the Supply Chain Collaboration Cloud Service ReST services can be found in the Oracle Retail Supply Chain Collaboration Cloud Service Implementation Guide.

Retail Home

Oracle Retail Home is a role-based, web portal for the retail enterprise and a user's launch pad to data and supporting solutions most relevant to their role: buyer, planner, inventory analyst, promotional manager, to name just a few.

Merchandising Foundation Cloud Service

Supply Chain Collaboration and Merchandising Foundation work together to effectively evaluate merchandising suppliers enabling the assessment and governance of ethical, environmental, safety, and quality performance.

For more information, see the Oracle Retail Supply Chain Collaboration Cloud Service Administration Guide and Oracle Retail Supply Chain Collaboration Cloud Service User Guide.
