Content Security

Oracle iProcurement : Content Security :-
-----------------------------------------------

The upgrade process will upgrade existing realms, stores, and catalogs to Release 12
stores and content zones in the following way:

• Migrate local catalogs to become Local content zones. Local catalogs may contain
supplier restrictions. These restrictions are carried forward as supplier restrictions
in Release 12 content zones.

• Migrate punch out, transparent punch out, and informational punch out catalogs to
their corresponding types of Release 12 content zones.

• Migrate catalog and non-catalog stores to become Release 12 stores. Release 12
stores can contain both catalog and non-catalog content. Previous stores may
contain operating unit restrictions. These restrictions will not be carried forward
into Release 12 stores. Instead, these restrictions are applied to every content zone
within each store having operating unit restrictions.

• Migrate category realms at the responsibility level. In Release 12, category
restrictions are applied to each individual content zone.

• Migrate item source realms for Responsibilities.

• Migrate Default Smart Forms such that they have the lowest available sequence
number within Release 12 stores. This way, smart forms that appeared by default
previously will continue to appear by default in Release 12.

• POR: Approved Pricing Only profile is no longer used. The upgrade will apply the
correct settings in each content zone to achieve the same functionality in Release 12.

• Migrate descriptor configuration. Previously, it is possible to provide invalid values
for Descriptor settings such as Search Result Visibility, Item Detail Visibility, and Searchability— Invalid configuration settings were simply ignored by the system.
Release 12 validates Descriptor configurations at the time when they are updated in
the user interface, and will not allow any invalid value to be provided.

• The upgrade will re-default all the properties for the seeded descriptors from
previous releases. For example, visibility, sequence setting and alternate names may
change. After the upgrade, administrators should review the seeded descriptors
properties and make any necessary changes.

The following notes refer to changes in behavior in Release 12 as a result of Content
Security enhancements:

• Shopping Lists are migrated but content security is applied differently on Release
12 Public and Favorite lists. In Release 12, items on Shopping Lists are available to a
user if that user's responsibility and Operating Unit context are such that he would
have access to that same item through a Store. If the user does not have access
rights to an item through the normal Store search and browse function, he will not
have access rights to that item on a Shopping List.

• User-level realm will no longer be supported.
