Data Publisher - Redeploying Data

This feature provides the ability to deploy data from Xcenter (a part of Oracle Retail Xstore Office) to an org node so that all data within the selected org node's scope is transferred to the selected org node.

For example, when opening a new store, use this feature to send Xcenter data to the new store.

Note:

The intended use of this feature is for franchise retailers that have a need to republish small amounts of data to the store. Retailers with thousands of items will likely use a merchandising system to republish items. Using this feature for a large number of items could perform slowly and could encounter out-of-memory errors.

Valid data for redeployment includes: Items, Exchange Rates, Store Messages, Taxes, Employees, and Vendors.

Note:

Tasks and Stores data cannot be redeployed.

Data intended for the selected node will be deployed as follows:

• A transfer to a single store may require data from a store-level, district-level, and corporate-level. In this example, all of this data will be included in the deployment.

• A transfer to a region or district may result in multiple deployments to accommodate the multiple stores within the node. For example, if transferring to a district, the district may contain a total of 10 stores, and the stores may all receive different data which will result in 10 deployments.

Depending on your security privileges, this feature also allows you to create an Omnichannel Data Service (OCDS) on demand job. On demand jobs generate .mnt files, containing instructions and data, necessary to refresh the Xstore and Xcenter database tables. On demand jobs are for one-time-only execution.

Note:

OCDS on demand jobs are only available, if the OCDS is integrated with Xstore Office,.
