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. This will help ensure that any configuration or access issues are resolved earlier in your program to avoid delays.
For each of the URLs below, the <EXTERNAL_LOAD_BALANCER> and <CUST_ENV> of the URL should be replaced with the one specific for your implementation, which will be the same as your cloud service URL provided in the welcome email.
SOCS Mobile Application
SOCS is a hybrid mobile platform that gets distributed from the Oracle Software Delivery Cloud (OSDC). Search for Oracle Retail Store Operations Cloud Service and download the zip file. This ZIP file comprises two (2) separate folders, each containing specific files:
-
In the ./SOCS-MAF directory, you will find the .maa file designed for the Mobile Application Framework (MAF) platform. The Oracle Retail Store Operations Cloud Service MAF mobile application supports iOS, Android, and Windows platforms. The .maa file needs to be built into the appropriate mobile application (.apk for android, .ipa for iOS and so on) and deployed to the mobile scanning device.
-
The ./SOCS-JET directory houses the .apk file intended for the Mobile JavaScript Extention Toolkit (JET) platform.
Refer to the Oracle Retail Store Operations Cloud Service Mobile Guide on the Oracle Help Center for more details.
The URL to the connections.xml is listed in the Appendix: List of Key URLs.

Web Services
EICS provides a large range of web services to manage the processing of information that is controlled within EICS. Each web service covers a topical area of functionality within EICS and contains numerous operations within to accomplish this functionality. The URLs for each of those options and how to configure them can be found in the Oracle Retail Enterprise Inventory Cloud Service Administration 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. If you purchased Oracle Retail Insights as part of your Oracle Retail subscription, it comes populated with thousands of pre-integrated metrics. But even without Retail Insights, it can be used as a launch point for your users for your SIOCS cloud services, as well as other Oracle Retail or legacy applications. For more details on how to configure and use this portal for your business, see the Oracle Retail Enterprise Inventory Cloud Service Administration Guide and Oracle Retail Home Administration Guide.
