Do Not Use Database Tools to Modify Oracle Applications DataOracle STRONGLY RECOMMENDS that you never use SQL*Plus, Oracle DataBrowser, database triggers, or any other tool to modify Oracle Applications data unlessotherwise instructed.Oracle provides powerful tools you can use to create, store, change, retrieve, andmaintain information in an Oracle database. But if you use Oracle tools such asSQL*Plus to modify Oracle Applications data, you risk destroying the integrity of yourdata and you lose the ability to audit changes to your data.Because Oracle Applications tables are interrelated, any change you make using anOracle Applications form can update many tables at once. But when you modify OracleApplications data using anything other than Oracle Applications, you may change arow in one table without making corresponding changes in related tables. If your tablesget out of synchronization with each other, you risk retrieving erroneous informationand you risk unpredictable results throughout Oracle Applications.When you use Oracle Applications to modify your data, Oracle Applicationsautomatically checks that your changes are valid. Oracle Applications also keeps trackof who changes information. If you enter information into database tables usingdatabase tools, you may store invalid information. You also lose the ability to track whohas changed your information because SQL*Plus and other database tools do not keep arecord of changes.xi
1Mobile Supply Chain Applications OverviewThis chapter covers the following topics: Overview of Mobile Supply Chain Applications Mobile Supply Chain Applications User Interface Mobile Manufacturing Mobile Quality Mobile Materials Management Enterprise Asset Management Shop Floor ManagementOverview of Mobile Supply Chain ApplicationsThe demand for accurate, real-time information throughout the supply chain hascreated mobile computing for manufacturing. Oracle Mobile Supply Chain Applicationssupports the interface of a mobile client device with a networked computer system. Thisapplication provides the ability to perform shop floor and warehouse transactions fromany location in a facility using wireless radio frequency devices that can be hand-held,wearable, ring scanner systems, and lift truck mounted. You can perform data entryfunctions both manually and with a bar code scanner.Default values enable ease of use and accuracy and while performing supply chain andshop floor transactions. Transactions entered through mobile applications can beprocessed either immediately (on-line transactions) or asynchronously.As shown in this illustration, Oracle's Internet Computing Architecture supports mobileInternet devices by providing a user interface for wireless devices that support a Telnetclient.Mobile Supply Chain Applications Overview1-1
Internet Computing ArchitectureThrough the use of standard Internet technologies in concert with Oracle Internetplatform products, Oracle Mobile Supply Chain Applications has the followingfeatures: The Mobile Server enables you to perform Oracle Application transactions usingthe Telnet Protocol Server. Information is sent from mobile industrial devices to theTelnet Listener. The information is processed and updated in the applicationdatabase. You can create Work in Process shop floor transactions such as moves, issues, andreturns using mobile devices. You can also view job, line and material status. Mobile devices enable you to enter inventory transactions at the point of use.Recording transactions in this way avoids duplicate data entry, and mobile devicescanning can improve data entry accuracy. You can perform quality collection plan queries, enter data, and record the resultsof tests in a single business process. You are able to query up any specificationcreated in Oracle Quality whether it is an item specification, supplier specification,or a customer specification.Note: In some instances the name of a window described in thebody of the material may not match exactly with the name in thewindow. This is due to the name in the window being shortened ortruncated because of the lack of space.1-2Oracle Mobile Supply Chain Applications User's Guide
Mobile Applications ServerThe Oracle Mobile Supply Chain Applications Server enables you to performtransactions using the Telnet Protocol Server. The Mobile Supply Chain ApplicationsServer module has two sub-modules: Telnet Protocol Handler— functions as the communication module between theclient and the rest of the Telnet. Presentation Manager—implements the telnet protocol that actually renders theuser interface on the connected telnet client.The Oracle Mobile Applications Server can be configured to fit the needs of yourorganization including starting the server on multiple nodes, specifying the ports used,and specifying the database.Mobile Supply Chain Applications User InterfaceYou can view all mobile windows with either the graphical user interface, or thecharacter- mode interface. This guide uses both interfaces interchangeably. Theinterfaces display the same information, and the graphical user interface displaysinformation similar to the desktop application. The following figures depict the mobileuser interfaces.Mobile Supply Chain Applications Overview1-3
