Recent 6.3.x Features


6.3.3 -‐ Planning• Support additional location calendars based on:– Flex Commodity• Frozen vs Dry

– Mode Profile• LTL vs Parcel vs TL

– Inbound Location Profile• Different Calendars based on Source -‐ location has different hours based on source of freight– DC1 Appliances to Store1– DC2 Soft Lines to Store 1

– Outbound Location Profile• Different Calendars based on Destination– DC1 to Northeast Stores -‐ MWF– DC1 to Southeast Stores -‐ TT


6.3.4 - Planning

• New Bulk Plan Performance and Tuning Section Added to Help– A new “Bulk Plan Performance and Tuning” section has been added to the set of topics covered in the “How To/Configuration Topics” section of Help. – The new information provides the user with an excellent overview of the bulk planning process and includes information for:• Solution quality tuning• Performance tuning• Diagnostics


6.3.5 -‐ Planning

• Shipment Group Enhancement– New Grouping Rules -‐ Shipments• Match Service Provider – group by same service provider• Match Schedule – group by schedule instance• Match Port of Loading – group by port of loading• Match Port of Discharge – group by port of discharge• Match Shipment Involved Party • Match Shipment Reference Number

–Partial Grouping Rule -‐ Order Release • Match Equipment• Match Order Release Involved Parties• Match Order Release Reference Number • Match Order Release Line Reference Number


6.3.7 -‐ Conditional Booking and Tendering• Conditional Booking is an extension of tendering.• Conditional Booking must be activated for each service provider so that the service provider can accept a proposed shipment “with conditions”.– Conditional Booking is targeted for Ocean but is applicable to other modes.

• Conditional Booking is a form of “negotiation” with a service provider and is part of a “contract” to perform services.• The planner has the ultimate responsibility to accept proposed changes. • Existing functionality still works as designed. –New Functionality is controlled by parameters.


Conditional Booking Process FlowThe flow diagram for Conditional Booking shows that the process is often iterative.

The initial “tender” is a snapshot of the shipment.

The proposed changes are stored along with the original values.

The work in 6.3.7 now allows actions to be performed to the affected shipments.

The work in 6.3.7 also allows changes after the “agreement” is done, if configured.

6.4 REST APIs in OTM-‐GTM• REST APIs are available for all Entities (OTM and GTM) in the system other than a handful of technical entities (users, roles, etc.) which are a security concern• The intent of this API is to support custom user interfaces/Mobile Apps.• This interface is less verbose (smaller data payload) and is synchronous so users can receive immediate feedback on whether their transaction had an error or not

Oracle Confidential – Internal/Restricted/Highly Restricted

23


REST API – Why is it Important?• Interact with OTM from an external application, much like the OTM UI does• Perform Create/Read/Update/Delete (CRUD) operations on all OTM-‐GTM objects• Allows you to extend/enrich OTM with custom applications, third-‐party apps, mobile apps, etc• Enable rich PaaS interaction to enrich/enhance OTM-‐GTM Cloud• Federated SSO and REST APIs along with other OTM-‐GTM integration capabilities enable a seamless and enriched Cloud experience– Enrich the user’s experience, address complex business process needs by extending OTM-‐GTM Cloud with PaaS capabilities – “Integrated Cloud with Platform and Application Services”

– Build/extend your own mobile apps with direct interactions with OTM-‐GTM objects

OTM-‐GTM Cloud Service – What?

Oracle Confidential –Internal/Restricted/Highl

27

• Provisioned in Oracle Public Cloud– Same infrastructure as Fusion Apps– Exadata powered

• Each customer gets a dedicated instance– Customer instance automatically provisioned upon receipt of order documents– Partner overlays their solution / pre-‐configured accelerators

• Everybody gets monthly patches with key fixes– Automated patching patches all PODs at once– Automated monitoring for technical issues and key metrics

• Upgrades– Start with 6.4.1, then all 6.4.x Rollups will be applied– Customers can choose upgrade window, but must stay current


OTM-‐GTM Cloud Service – How?


28

• We created the install– PODs are basically the same, vary only by size– Technical parameters cannot be changed by customers

• All customers stay current– Monthly patches and upgrades– One-‐offs are a rare exception

• No customizations – see MOS Note– Oracle Support Document 1926811.1 (Key Differences between Oracle Trade and Transportation On-‐Premise and Cloud) can be found at: https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/DocumentDisplay?id=1926811.1

– Examples: no PL/SQL, no custom Java, no DB access, integration via web services or https post only– No third party code installed – accessed via web services– However, stay tuned for Derek’s presentation on Oracle Solution to Cloud Customizations

• Cloud Certified partners doing implementations with tested configurations
