Announcement: Oracle Demantra 12.2.3 Available

We are excited to announce Oracle Demantra 12.2.3 is now available for new and existing customers.  All customers who are not incorporating Demantra with other VCP products are welcome to upgrade without any restrictions.  Customers who are using Demantra in conjunction with VCP products will need to upgrade VCP to 12.2.3.
Demantra 12.2.3 encompasses the same functional scope as Demantra 12.2.2 with additional security and functional bug fixes.

Demantra 12.2.3 will work with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne 9.1 using the AIA 11.4 for the Value Chain Planning Base Integration Pack.
Demantra 12.2.3 will only work with VCP 12.2.3.
Demantra 12.2.3 and VCP 12.2.3 will work with EBS 12.1.3 or EBS 12.2.3.
Please review the release readme and all 12.2.3 documentation carefully to determine content details for this patch. You can also find documentation in the Demantra Documentation Library on My Oracle Support (note 443969.1).

The release is currently available on My Oracle Support (formerly known as Metalink) as Patch 17921238.
Release will be available from e-delivery in a few weeks.

It is recommended for all customers who are on 12.2.1 or 12.2.2 to upgrade to 12.2.3 at earliest convenience.   Please do not upgrade to 12.2.2 and then 12.2.3.

 

Upgrading to 12.2.2? Do you want extra speed? Use a logon trigger for parallelism

When upgrading your Demantra application from an older version directly to 12.2.2, you can minimize the upgrade time.  You can force parallelism using a Logon trigger on the server.
   Creation of new Indexes on sales data can take long time.

   As part of the upgrade there is a script building a new set of indexes, one per engine profile, on each profile quantity_form expression.

   The creation of the index can take a long time on big data tables.

    - Remember to disable or drop that trigger when the upgrade has completed.
   The following trigger was created as SYS database user and tested successfully by creating DEMANTRA database user and logging in with it:
 CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER force_parallel_ddl_trg
AFTER LOGON ON database
BEGIN
  IF (USER='DEMANTRA') THEN
    EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'ALTER SESSION FORCE PARALLEL DDL';
  END IF;
END force_parallel_ddl_trg;
/
 Make sure to:
  1. Modify DEMANTRA to be the database schema name.
  2. drop it after it is not needed anymore using the foillowing:
 DROP TRIGGER force_parallel_ddl_trg;

Thanks
Srini
