Oracle Survey Release Update Key Functional Initiatives Rollup Features Technology Topics Q&A


Oracle Logistics Survey During the past year, Oracle has invested in enhancing the areas below. How would you assess the value of investing in this area? Should Oracle invest more in this area?

No or Minimal Value Neutral on Value Valuable Very Valuable Yes No

Providing flexible fields on key OTM objects

Reporting (e.g. flexibility of report scheduling)

Document management (e.g. external storage, workflow)

Rate Inquiry (e.g. multiple results per itinerary)

Promote to production enhancements

Mapping capabilities (e.g. support different map vendors)

Dispatch Board enhancements

Fleet enhancements

Static route / detachable ground schedule enhancements

Load / 3d Load Configuration enhancements

Continuous move/dedicated fleet planning enhancements

Facilitating multi-tier transportation networks

Sourcing enhancements

Global Trade Management enhancements

Support more content from Customs Info


Oracle Logistics Survey

Company information e.g. Which version is in production?

Client satisfaction e.g. Ease of install & upgrade e.g. Integration Capabilities

Product Innovation Pipeline of New Capabilities

6.3.3 6.3.4 6.3.5 6.4

Current GA release

1 year

1 year >1 year

6.3 Rollups

Released every 4 months Able to patch against specific Rollups Include more robust enhancements:

Incremental DB additions Incremental XML additions Property / Parameter controlled enhanced functionality

Improved upgrade experience Due to more focus on incremental controls if current Working on reducing downtime for Rollups if current

6.3 Rollups

While we will have the ability to patch back: Backports of bugs will still be on an exception basis No backports of enhancements

Same advice from Development: Stay Current! No official line on Rollup age, but similar to current approach

we will not be able to patch back too many Rollups they age! Likely no longer than 1 year (match other Oracle products)

This will likely be the same approach we will follow with 6.4 Rollups and beyond.

Key Functional Initiatives


Network disruptions (e.g., closed ports) Freight cost changes (e.g., fuel charges) Service provider changes Network design (e.g., new cross-dock) Sustainability impacts Capacity forecasting Sensitivity analysis Optimization parameter tuning

In-Memory Logistics Command Center Use Cases

What-If Planning & Simulations


Multi-Tier Networks

New multi-tier network optimization algorithm

OTM automatically discovers all network routing options

Improved solution quality & performance

E.g., unlimited number of cross-dock / pooling options


Ship Unit Optimization Load Configuration algorithm was extended to become a generalized

Packing Algorithm Used to pack ship units into equipment (existing OTM functionality)

Now also used to pack order lines into Ship Units


Scenario Option 1 Option 2

Create one pallet (one ship unit) representing the entire order release

Ship via LTL at a cost of $95

Order Release sent to OTM with four packaged items

Each packaged item weighs 40lbs.

Mode is unknown when Order Release is created

Create multiple ship units for the order release

Ship each ship unit individually via small parcel at a cost of $22/carton

Total small parcel cost = $88

Ship Unit Optimization Mode Selection Example

22

User Interface Enhancements Reference Number Hyperlinks on Track & Trace Background

1. Track and Trace Screen

Used to present a unified view of an order and all related buy/sell shipments, reference numbers and shipment event messages

2. Shipment manager allows user to view reference numbers as a hyperlink

This is accomplished by setting a property: glog.webserver.refnum.link.REFNUM_GID=http://server_name?argument={0} Example: glog.webserver.refnum.link.FEDEX=http://www.fedex.com?

tracking_number={0}

30

Reporting Enhancements Accommodate Daylight Savings Time when Scheduling Reports and Recurring Processes Reports and processes are scheduled

to run at the same time each day Twice/year these must be

rescheduled to compensate for DST OTM should be able to adjust

automatically for this condition


31

Reporting Enhancements Modify Existing Scheduled Reports Previously, scheduled reports were not editable. Once

scheduled, you could not change parameters, email addresses, make additions/deletions/etc.

Required user to delete and reschedule report Updated UI to see existing reports, modify & save

Security in OTM Best Practices Guide 1. Install only what is required.

2. Remove unnecessary default user accounts.

3. Enable data dictionary protection.

4. Practice the principle of least privilege. a. Grant necessary privileges only.

b. Revoke unnecessary privileges from the PUBLIC user group.

c. Restrict permissions on run-time facilities.

5. Enforce access controls effectively and authenticate clients stringently.

6. Restrict network access. a. Use a firewall.

b. Never poke a hole through a firewall.

c. Monitor listener activity.

d. Monitor who accesses your systems.

7. Check network IP addresses.

8. Encrypt network traffic.

9. Harden the operating system.

10. Apply all security patches and workarounds.


Q&A


Question #1

We cant take every Rollup, otherwise we would spend all our time testing. What is Oracles recommendation?

Rollups are cumulative, so skipping a Rollup is fine (however, you

may need to apply newer patches). Develop an approach every 6, 12, 18 months and stick to it. If you plan to use new functionality, or continue rollouts to new businesses or geographies, then you should stay as current as possible.


Question #2

From where does the Development / Strategy team get their European requirements?

Many places from experience of developing TMS systems for 25+

years, from working directly with customers over the years UPM, DHL, Ikea, Ahold, and also from our sales and consulting partners working with customers and providing us feedback.
