OAUG Enhancement Request System
(ERS) Pilot Program

OAUG Enhancement Request System (ERS) Pilot Program

The OAUG Board of Directors and Oracle® Corporation are pleased to announce the Pilot Program for the OAUG Enhancement Request System (ERS). This system has been collaboratively designed to achieve objectives that are mutually beneficial to Oracle customers, the OAUG, and Oracle Corporation:

  • Provide a centralized and standardized solution for Oracle customers to submit, validate and have OAUG members vote on Oracle® Applications Enhancement Requests
  • Provide Oracle® Product Development with direct access to user input and requirements that may provide direction for future versions of the Oracle® Products
  • Create an enhancement related communication channel between end users, Special Interest Group (SIG) Chairs, SIG Enhancement Coordinators and Oracle® Product Management

The goal of the OAUG ERS Pilot Program is to comprehensively test the new system with live enhancement data from two specific product areas:

- Self Service Human Resources
- Oracle Order Management

Oracle® customers interested in entering enhancements for either product are encouraged to do so by logging into MetaLink, selecting "News & Events" from the navigation bar, selecting "OAUG Enhancement Request System (ERS) Pilot Program" from the articles listed, and choosing "LOGIN to the OAUG ERS" from the article text (use your OAUG LoginID and Password at this point, not your MetaLink credentials).

Oracle® Information

July Family Pack pre-requisites: changes to information

At the HRMS Special Interest Group in Las Vegas in March, we announced that the HRMS July Family Pack would require pre-requisite patches of the Oracle® Applications Framework (OAF) 5.10 and WorkFlow MiniPack (OWF) H. We are pleased to announce that we have changed our plans and will now be shipping the July Family Pack using the same technology stack as the July 2003 Family Pack, i.e based on OAF 5.7 and FND G. This means that there will be NO pre-requisite requirement to apply either OAF 5.10 or OWF H. We will however require that you apply the latest rollup patch for OAF 5.7. This is available now as patch number 3162988.

The July Family Pack will require some smaller pre-requisites such as XDO and BNE. These pre-requisite patches are available now, please consult our HRMS One-Stop page on Metalink for more details - http://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/showdoc?db=NOT&id=135266.1.

As usual we expect to provide a draft version of our About Document for the Family Pack during June; this will provide you early insight in to the functionality in the July Family Pack. We will update our one-stop page on Metalink when this information is available. We currently plan (targetted) to ship the July Family Pack on July 31st 2004.
