Collection Architecture

Collection Methodology

Collection Details

Bring Data into the Interface Tables What data?

Items, Locations and Sales ( item, qty and Location) Sales and Booking History Maps item attributes( table columns) to level heirarchies

Define the Data Model

Data is moved from interface tables into sales data table using EP_LOAD

Standard vs Custom Collection

Standard uses an out of the Box Integration Custom Collections

Support unique customer requirements Collect from Legacy Systems Clean and Filter data as you bring it in Can modify an existing Integration using Business Modeler Define a new integration profile

Standard Collection

Booking/Shipment Collection

Booking/Shipment collection

Caveats related to Collections

Difficult hierarchical constraints > Violation may reject a large amount of data volume Limited options for data filters (within EBS Collection) Limited options for refreshing the full data set Combinations created during history collection never get purged (Only get selectively appended every time) Dependency on ASCP Collection (esp when customer is not live with ASCP) Limited options to correct a wrong collection or a user errors
