REVISION HISTORY
This document will continue to evolve as existing sections change and new information is added. All updates are logged below, with the most recent updates at the top.
Date What's Changed Notes 28 FEB 2017 Initial Document Creation
7
ORACLE TRANSPORTATION AND GLOBAL TRADE MANAGEMENT
This section of the Release Content Document captures the transportation and trade improvements that benefit both Oracle Transportation Management (OTM) and Global Trade Management (GTM).
USER INTERFACE REFRESH
LOOK AND FEEL
This feature provides you with a complete UI look and feel update that includes changes to almost every aspect of the user experience including updates to screen colors, font sizes, button color, icons and menus.
LOGISTICS HOME PAGE
This feature provides you with a Logistics home page that has undergone a complete refresh. The new look includes a Springboard (main menu) and the Unified Global Header.
UNIFIED GLOBAL HEADER
This feature provides you with a Unified Global Header and can be found in the area across the top of the UI.
The Unified Global Header contains the following icons and access to the following capabilities:
• Navigator: Provides you full access to both the Oracle Transportation Management or Global Trade Management menus.
• Home: Returns you directly back to the Springboard. • Global Search: Provides you with the ability to search for a list of saved search/query IDs. • Favorites: Provides you with a list of your user favorites. • Business Monitor: Provides a view to the business monitor. • Notifications icon: Opens the Message Center. • Settings and Actions: Provides you with information on user details, system details,
troubleshooting, and administration.
MENU MANAGEMENT
This feature provides you with two types of menu access - the Springboard and the Navigator. The Springboard is intended to be configured to contain the sub-set of the menu items (groups and links) that you need quick and direct to access to while the Navigator provides you with comprehensive access
8
to all your menu items. For a single user, both the Springboard and the Navigator show the menus assigned to that user via user access.
MENU - SPRINGBOARD
This feature provides you with a new icon based Springboard view that allows you to navigate quickly to and from those areas of the system that you use most often. By default the Springboard displays all the components available in the system adhering to the default multi-level menu structure provided in the system. The real benefit provided by the Springboard is in the ability to configure the navigation options on the Springboard to allow you to go directly to the objects and managers that you use most often and then return to the Home position without having to navigate through a menu hierarchy.
MENU - NAVIGATOR
This feature provides you with an easy way to gain access to all the items (groups and links) in your assigned menu. This feature – called the Navigator – provides you access to your menus anywhere the Unified Global Header appears.
FINDER RESULTS
This feature provides you with enhanced finder results pages that have a modernized look and feel, and provide many usability improvements.
Specific improvements include:
• One results page instead of multiple pages. • The ability to view more records by clicking the More link. • The ability to view all available records by clicking the All link. • All Actions button have been relocated and replaced with an Actions drop-down list. • The functional buttons (New, View, Edit, and Delete) have been moved to a tool bar and
have been replaced with intuitive icons. • A Favorites column has been added by default to all of the refreshed search results pages. • A greatly improved process for adding and removing Favorites.
ASK ORACLE
This feature provides you with a new PUBLIC menu, the ASK_ORACLE_MENU - that replaces the Ask Oracle tool bar. This new more modern menu approach gathers all of the Ask Oracle capabilities together so that the process for granting access to these capabilities for your users is standardized and greatly simplified.
9
The menu contains all existing Ask Oracle links and the following new Ask Oracle links for GTM:
• Restricted Party Screening • Sanctioned Territory Screening • Control Screening • License Screening
RATE MAINTENANCE, LANDED COST, AND WORKBENCH FINDERS
This feature provides you with Rate Maintenance Query Based Actions: The Query Based Actions button executes a selected action for a Saved Search or the active search criteria. These Actions are not constrained by the 1,000 record default limit.
REORGANIZED TRANSMISSION XML SCHEMA
REORGANIZED TRANSMISSION SCHEMA
This feature provides you with a new transmission schema definition that now consists of a set of smaller XSD schemas/files that contain a logical grouping of related objects and APIs.
Reorganizing the schema into a set of smaller files makes it easier for you to identify and load only the files you need to load. For example, if you are only working on Financial interfaces you will now only need to load the Financials schema versus loading the entire GLogXML schema.
Note that all message formats currently accepted by versions prior to version 6.4.2 will continue to be accepted in version 6.4.2, but access to features new in OTM/GTM version 6.4.2 schemas is only supported by sending version 6.4.2 messages.
INTEGRATION CLOUD SERVICE LOGISTICS ADAPTER
INTEGRATION CLOUD SERVICE LOGISTICS ADAPTER
This feature provides you with a new Logistics adapter (for OTM/GTM) that expands the portfolio of available adapters available with Oracle’s Platform as a Service (PaaS) Integration Cloud Service (ICS) offering. ICS is a powerful and intuitive cloud based integration tool that allows you to design and deploy cloud to cloud (and on-premise to cloud) integrations quickly and securely.
The Logistics adapter (for OTM/GTM) simplifies the ICS Connection to a specific Logistics Cloud (OTM/GTM) instance and exposes the OTM/GTM schema for integration flow mapping/development in an easy to use visual designer environment.
10
WORKBENCH
EDIT WORKBENCH CONTENT
This feature provides you with the ability to edit the content of an existing workbench layout. In previous version the edit content option was limited to removing content. This feature allows you to make changes to the previously defined content including changes to the object type, the tab name, the screen set used, etc.
REMOVED RESTRICTION ON NUMBER OF WORKBENCH LAYOUTS
This feature provides you with the ability to create an unlimited number of Workbench layouts. In previous versions there was a limit on the number of Workbench Layouts that could be defined – this limitation has been removed.
COPY LAYOUT
This feature provides you with the ability to copy an existing workbench layout. All panels, regions, screen sets, saved searches, etc. are copied to the new layout. The copy action requires you provide a new name the layout, and if desired you have the option to provide a new description for the new layout and/or select a different logic configuration for to use with the new layout. The default is for the copy actions to retain the existing description and logic configuration.
USER ACCESS/DOMAIN GRANTS FOR WORKBENCH LAYOUTS
This feature provides you with the ability to grant or restrict access to workbench layouts using domain grants and (virtual private database) VPD. With this new capability you can now control both the user access to the different workbench layouts in your environment as well as controlling access to your user’s ability to edit the workbench layouts and layout content.
INLINE EDIT ON TABLES
This feature provides you with the ability to edit records in a table region without additional navigation. There are several icons that appear depending on your configuration. The icons are Inline Edit, Revert, and Save.
ADDITIONAL OTM OBJECTS SUPPORTED IN THE WORKBENCH
This feature provides you with an enhanced Workbench that is now able to support almost all of OTM’s key objects. With these added objects the Workbench should become the default tool used to configure any work environment that involves relating multiple objects together in one view. For example:
11
relating a shipment to the shipment stops and the orders on the shipment; relating a shipment to the related invoice and invoice lines.
ADDITIONAL GTM OBJECTS SUPPORTED IN THE WORKBENCH
This feature provides you with the ability to use the Workbench capabilities with all of GTM’s key objects. With this feature the Workbench becomes the ideal place to configure any work environment that t involves relating multiple objects together in one view.
MASTER-DETAIL SAVED QUERIES FOR WORKBENCH - OTM
This feature provides you with a set of preconfigured PUBLIC saved queries that simplify the setup of basic master-detail table relationships in your OTM Workbench designs. The saved queries provided cover all the major OTM master-detail table relationships.
MASTER-DETAIL SAVED QUERIES FOR WORKBENCH - GTM
This feature provides you with a set of preconfigured PUBLIC saved queries that simplify the setup of the basic master-detail table relationships in your GTM Workbench designs. The saved queries provided cover all the major GTM master-detail table relationships.
ORACLE WALLET
ORACLE WALLET
This feature improves the way that credential information is stored by storing that information in Oracle Wallet. This change ensures that secure data, such as passwords, are placed into an encrypted store, and not visible to an end user.
12
ORACLE TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT
Oracle Transportation Management (OTM) delivers robust transportation planning and execution capabilities to shippers and third party logistics providers. It integrates and streamlines transportation planning, execution, freight payment, and business process automation on a single application across all modes of transportation, from full truckload to complex multi-leg air, ocean, and rail shipments.
Oracle Transportation Management lowers transportation costs, improves customer service and asset utilization, and provides flexible, global fulfillment options.
ORACLE TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT (BASE PRODUCT)
Order Management UIs and APIs to enter & manage orders in OTM Rate Management Rating engine Shipment Management Shipment creation (manual and agent based shipment creation) Booking & tendering (includes spot bids & broadcast tenders) Carrier communications Supply Chain Event Management Order & shipment events & visibility Business Process Automation Workflow agents & monitor profiles Document management Operational reporting.
RATE INQUIRY PORTS OF LOAD - PORTS OF DISCHARGE CONSTRAINT
This feature provides you with the ability to specify the Ports of Load and/or Ports of Discharge that should be considered when running your rate query. By specifying the Ports of Load and/or Ports of Discharge the number of options considered and the number of options returned is greatly reduced – the reduction in options simplifies the selection process and has the added benefit of improving the run-time associated with generating the options.
AUTOMATION AGENT IMPROVEMENTS
This feature provides you with a set of automation agent usability enhancements that will improve your use and management of your automation agents. The Agent Description field length has been increased. The Direct SQL Update SQL length has been extended. And additional logging has been provided to track automation agent modifications performed by a user.
REDESIGN NMFC CLASS CODES
This feature provides you a redesigned NMFC Class Table that now includes a new column called NMFC Class Code. This new column – with the seeded values – will now be transmitted to all External Rating Engines (e.g., SMC³’s RateWare® XL LTL Rating Engine) that rely on a properly formatted National Motor Freight Classification code for LTL freight rating.
13
ADDITIONAL DETAILS ON ORDER RELEASE LINE ALLOCATION ENTITY
This feature provides you with Order Release Line allocation details that now provide reference to the shipment cost and/or invoice line item for better visibility and reporting purposes.
RATEWARE XL STOP ALTERNATION SUPPORT
This feature provides you with the ability to select the weight break to send to the RateWare® XL LTL Rating Engine to use for stop alternation. Selecting the Stop Alternation Break from the available drop-down list instructs RateWare® XL to not alternate to the next higher weight band if one is available.
SHIPMENT GROUP TRACKING EVENT
This feature provides you with the addition of the Shipment Group object to extensive list of objects supported by OTM’s Tracking Event functionality. With this functionality you can now create, view and manage tracking events related to your Shipment Groups.
For many implementations the virtual Shipment Group is used to model real-world objects like the ocean carrier booking request, the House Bill of Lading, and the Shipper's Letter of Instruction. The ability to create, view and manage tracking events provides you with the tools you need to capture and monitor the status of these objects through their entire processing lifecycle.
SECONDARY CHARGE RULE WITH ACCESSORIAL CODE IN RESULT
This feature provides you the ability to identify the accessorials and special services at the secondary charge rule level using the accessorial code profile and special services profile.
ABILITY TO CONFIGURE RATES BASED ON FLEX FIELDS
This feature provides you with the ability to rate shipments by the flex field attributes found on the following objects:
• Shipment • Equipment • Ship Unit • Shipment Stop • Job • Order Release
The Flex Field Rate Basis Items (RBIs) are grouped as:
• String • Number
14
• Date • Currency
SPATIAL INTEGRATION TO SUPPORT POSTAL CODE SEARCHES
This feature provides you the ability to use Oracle Spatial for Postal Code to Postal Code distance and time lookups. With this feature you can now provide just the Country Code and Postal Code for address validation and distance and time queries.
PC*MILER WEB SERVICE UPGRADED TO USE WINDOWS COMMUNICATION FOUNDATION (WCF)
This feature provides you an upgraded PC*MILER Web Services integration using Windows Communication Foundation (WCF). The upgrade to WCS from Active Server Methods (Microsoft filename extension) ASMX was necessitated by Microsoft’s deprecation of ASMX.
PC*MILER ADDRESS VALIDATION MATCH LIST OPTION
This feature provides you with the ability to configure your PC*MILER Web Services external distance engine to return a list of possible matches versus just one match option when you run the Address Validation action.
PC*MILER VERSION PROVIDED IN WEB SERVICE CALL
This feature provides you with the ability to specify the PC*MILER data version to use in the PC*MILER Web Service call. If no version is specified the latest version is used by default.
PC*MILER WEB SERVICES STAGED EXTERNAL SERVICE ENGINE CONFIGURATIONS
This feature provides you with a set of default external service engine (ESE) configurations to use with PC*MILER Web Service. Default external services provided include:
• Lat/Long to Lat/Long (Practical) • Address to Address (Practical) • Postal to Postal (Default, Practical and Shortest) • City to City (Default, Practical and Shortest)
PC*MILER|RAIL WEB SERVICES
This feature extends OTM’s PC*MILER|Rail integration options to include PC*MILER’s new PC*MILER|Rail Web Services offering. The Web Service offering provides all the benefits of the on-premise version including: rail routing, distance calculation, carrier selection and rate determination, but without the traditional on-premise management and costs.
15
GENERATE EXCEL REPORTS USING EXCEL FORMAT TEMPLATE
This feature provides you with four additional Excel format options that you can use to generate reports. The set of available Excel formats now includes .html, .mhtml, .xlsx, and .xls.
CHARGE BASIS ADDED TO RATE COST VIEW SCREEN
This feature provides you with the ability to view both the details of the rate cost lines and the details of the rate unit break profile when you view a rate record. Links to the detail are found in the rate cost section of the rate record view page.
PROVIDE LAT_LONG CACHE FOR LOGIC CONFIGURATION RATE SERVICE ID
This feature provides you with the ability to cache latitude longitude based distance lookups provided from an external distance engine (EDE) and then use those cached distances for the calculations done inside of bulk planning. Using the cached distance setup inside of bulk planning’s multi-stop logic can improve solution quality without a significant increase in run-time.
CERTIFY EBS ACCOUNTS PAYABLE INTEGRATION VIA SOA 12C
This feature provides you with an updated OTM - EBS Accounts Payable integration that is now supported with Oracle SOA 12c.
SEQUENCING FACTOR FOR ACCESSORIAL RATING
This feature provides you with the ability to control the sequence in which accessorials are costed by rating engine. Previously, accessorials were costed in alphabetical order based on the object where the requirement for the accessorial originated, i.e. first we would consider shipment accessorials, ship unit, location, order base, order base ship unit, item and finally the global accessorials. With this enhancement OTM consolidates all of the identified accessorials across all the objects and then sequences them for rating.
AGENT ACTION TO COPY FLEX FIELDS BETWEEN OBJECTS
This feature provides you with a Copy FlexFields agent action that allows you to copy flex field attributes based on the associated objects for which the agent is triggered. If there are multiple related objects, the specified flex fields will be copied to each of the related objects.
NOTIFY CONTACT AGENT ACTION
This feature provides you with a new agent action NOTIFY CONTACT that can be used to notify a contact in case any agent for Shipment Ship Unit and Shipment Ship Unit Line fails.
16
RATE BASIS ITEM FOR SHIPMENT TOTAL REST TIME
This feature provides you with a new rate basis item (RBI) that allows you to establish a time based rate that is based on a shipment’s total rest time. This Shipment Total Rest Time RBI allows you to enter a rate and then calculate a cost for rest time that is different from the time associated rates and costs related to other time based activities on a shipment.
RATE BASIS ITEMS FOR EXTERNAL RATING ENGINE
This feature allows you to send additional data elements to an external rating engine. Data elements that can now be sent to an external rating engine include:
• SHIPMENT.ITINERARY • SHIPMENT.RATE_RECORD • SHIPMENT.RATE_OFFERING
RATE BASIS ITEMS FOR ORDER SHIP UNIT LINE LENGTH, WEIGHT AND HEIGHT
This feature provides you with three new Ship Unit Line level Rate Basis Items (RBIs) that can be used to support dimension based rating requirements with your generic web service rating engines. The newly added RBIs are: Ship Unit Line Length, Ship Unit Line Height, and Ship Unit Line Width.
SQL SERVLET SHOW EXECUTION PLAN
This feature provides you with an easy to use check box Show Execution Plan that can be checked when you provide a SQL statement. When you select the Show Execution Plan check box, you will be able to view the execution plan chosen by the Oracle optimizer for executing the query. The execution plan information can be extremely useful for troubleshooting a poorly performing query.
CERTIFY SHAREPOINT 2013
This feature provides you the ability to upload, modify, and delete documents using SharePoint 2013 as a content management system.
CLOUD DOCUMENT SERVICE INTEGRATION
This feature provides you the ability to use Oracle’s Platform as a Service (PaaS) document management offering Oracle Document Cloud (ODC) to upload, modify, and delete documents.
Oracle Documents Cloud Service is an enterprise-level collaboration platform that connects people and information. With Oracle Documents Cloud Service you can use a web browser, your tablet, or your phone to access your files wherever you are and share files with other people.
17
RATE FACTOR LOGIC RE-WRITE IN JAVA
This feature provides you with a completely re-architected and more efficient rate factor processing logic. The new rate factor logic now only processes the rate factors when they are needed. The generation of rate factors is now based on the start date of the shipment being considered and the effective and expiration dates of your rate factors.
ONLINE BOOKING AND TENDERING SCREENS ADDITIONAL SHIPMENT ATTRIBUTES
This feature allows you to configure your online booking and tendering screens to display many more shipment attributes. Additionally, you can also configure user defined image path icons.
ONLINE BOOKING AND TENDERING SCREENS ACTIONS FOR REPORTS AND DOCUMENTS
You can now configure your online booking and tendering screens to:
• Display actions for shipment reports. • View attached documents.
ONLINE BOOKING AND TENDERING SCREENS IMPROVED PERFORMANCE PROPERTIES
This feature provides you with a set of configuration capabilities that can be used to improve the editing and viewing performance of the Online Booking/Tendering UI. You can now exclude portions of the XML to improve the editing/viewing performance experience in the Online Booking/Tender screen. You can also configure a set of UI performance properties to improve the performance and the viewing experience when a large number of related objects (order release, order release line, ship unit) need to be loaded into the Online Booking/Tendering UI.
WORKBENCH MAP ENHANCEMENTS
This feature provides you with a set of Workbench Map enhancements that improve the usability and the capabilities available to you when configuring and using map content in your Workbenches.
• New objects to map - Locations and Networks (Network, Network Details). • ORACLE ELOCATION(Oracle Maps Cloud Service) added as a map vendor in Map Parameters. • Show Driving Directions available for HERE, ALK, and Oracle eLocation map vendors. • ALK Geographic Region Configuration - You can now set a logic configuration parameter to
enable street level routing for a specific region when using ALK maps. • Drag-and-Drop within a Map: The following actions are now available via drag-and-drop
when using HERE maps: o Move order releases to a shipment, o Move Shipment Stop to Shipment (move order releases on a shipment stop from one
shipment to another shipment).
18
• Additional Markers for use with all Objects on Maps: o Airport o Port o Rail o Crossdock Pool o Equipment o Consolidation Pool o Deconsolidation Pool o Default Map Vendor Change
• Default value for map vendor removed - if you are using the PUBLIC (default) WORKBENCH DEFAULT logic configuration, you now must manually select a map vendor from the map parameters pop-up.
ORDER MANAGEMENT
EDIT SHIPMENT AGENT WORKS ON SHIP UNITS THAT CONTAIN LINES FROM MULTIPLE ORDERS
This feature provides you with an OMD Edit Shipment agent action that now works for shipments with repacked shipment ship units that come from multiple orders.
OMD PROPAGATOR ENHANCEMENT
This feature provides you with an improved Order Modify and Delete (OMD) propagator that can be configured as a pre-persist agent with the following functions:
• Add, delete, and modify a ship unit and propagate changes to shipments. • Delete order release lines. And modify order release lines in a one-to-one relationship. • Sets the shipment status to SHIPMENT MODIFIED_MODIFIED.
BUILD SHIP UNITS WITH MAXIMUM NUMBER OF DIFFERENT ITEMS
This feature provides you with the ability to limit the number of items to ship and the number of types of items to ship when creating ship units that are created by placing one layer of a uniform product topped by another layer of a different product, form multiple layers also known as rainbow pallets.
ERU INFORMATION ADDED TO SHIPMENT MANAGER EQUIPMENT TAB
This feature provides you with visibility to the Equipment Reference Unit ID and the Total Number of Equipment Reference Units on the Shipment Manager Equipment Tab.
19
SHIP UNIT BUILD PROPERTIES MOVED TO PARAMETERS
