You Have How Many Funds?!? Managing Multiple Colors of Money with PeopleSoft Project Costing
Presented by:
Ben Amster at City of Seattle, Washington
Abstract:
The City of Seattle has hundreds of revenue streams with unique spending restrictions, from special-purposes taxes to bonds to grants. Ensuring appropriate tracking and usage of various “colors of money” is a challenge for the City’s accounting staff. In 2018, the City deployed a new project-centric chart of accounts and began using PeopleSoft Project Costing and Funds Distribution to make it easier to assign expenses to various funding sources without forcing complex color-of-money tracking onto non-accounting staff. This session will explore lessons learned from the City’s extensive use of PeopleSoft Project Costing and Funds Distribution to support complicated expense tracking requirements.

PeopleSoft in the Cloud: Building a Bridge to What’s Next
Presented by:
Paul Taylor at Gideon Taylor
Abstract:
It doesn’t take an “Oracle” with a crystal ball to tell you that the Cloud is in your future. It almost certainly is.
As technology continues to evolve and Oracle has delivered tons of innovative features within PeopleSoft, many customers have declared that they fully intend to continue using PeopleSoft as a core solution within their enterprise. With confidence.
At some point, a migration to an alternate SaaS solution might be in your future. It’s not critical to know today exactly what that nextgen solution might be. The question is, what’s the best way to ensure that your organization can take advantage of the latest/greatest technology and still benefit from the investment you’ve made in PeopleSoft?
We’ve found with many customers that it is critical to focus on improving the efficiency of your People, your Processes, and your Enterprise Platforms.
In this session we will highlight the most important components of building a strategic roadmap for Continuous Innovation. We’ll show you how you can rapidly embrace emerging technology that will make a significant difference in the usability, manageability and effectiveness of your PeopleSoft systems. The proven answer is to deploy PeopleSoft on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and to have People and Processes adapt to a model of Continuous Change.
We’ll show you how you can begin this process. Now.

Move to Cloud, Make Users Happy, Save Money: In What Order?
Presented by:
Paul Taylor at Gideon Taylor
Abstract:
When starting a digital transformation, it is best to know why you’re doing it. Is moving to the Cloud a means to an end, or an end in itself? In this session we’ll take a hopefully sober, and likely sobering look at outcomes you can expect when you put these three objectives in various orders. Moving to the cloud will definitely change user experience and functionality – probably in both positive and negative ways. Cloud moves always change cost structures – but don’t automatically reduce cost. Your priorities should dictate the timing of your Cloud move, and may contradict herd mentality. You may find it worthwhile to invest in dramatically improving your PeopleSoft user experience today while you are preparing for your Cloud move. Sorry if we’re the first to tell you this, but SaaS won’t magically make everything better. Warning: Sacred cows (and conventional wisdom) are not safe in this session! We will explore possible paths that start with Moving to the Cloud, Making Users Happy or Saving Money. With each path comes unique insight and tips to making that path a success – and the pitfalls you can expect. What, did you think this was going to be easy?

Drop the Clock, Use What You’ve Got: Fluid Webclock Kiosk at The University of Arizona
Presented by:
Matthew Shimel at The University Of Arizona
Joy Trent at The University of Arizona
Abstract:
The University of Arizona replaced a third-party timekeeping service with a custom Fluid webclock kiosk in PeopleSoft HCM. The Webclock Kiosk uses a computer or tablet logged into PeopleSoft HCM and a card reader to allow employees that are punch time reporters to swipe their employee ID card to punch in or out. A configuration page is used to set up and customize each individual Kiosk. Each Kiosk can be given a unique name and will only allow employees in a particular department to utilize it. Once the Kiosk is set up, a department administrator will log into PeopleSoft HCM with the Kiosk User ID and password provided for their department. The Kiosk will stay active as long as the computer or table is active, no need to constantly log into PeopleSoft HCM.

Moving Past PeopleSoft – Evaluating Oracle Cloud during a Phased Migration
Presented by:
Richard Merrill at Elire, Inc.
Kayla Franklin at Elire, Inc.
Abstract:
Many Cloud adopters decided to take a phased approach to Cloud migration, maintaining a hybrid on-prem and cloud ecosystem to meet their business needs. Now that cloud has expanded to contain more robust, enterprise functionality, the time to move out of a hybrid environment is on the horizon. In order to make this transition smooth, it is essential to assess what data is in each system, how often legacy reports and information are utilized, and where each part of a business process is happening – and fully understand how end-to-end business processes cross applications in the hybrid model. This session will focus on a customer case study of continued Cloud migration and moving towards PeopleSoft retirement, starting with an assessment, and mapping what available functionality in Cloud would meet business needs. We’ll detail the tools and templates used to perform this analysis, and the beginning steps for your own application review to continue on your Cloud journey.

Streamlining Time and Labor for External Approvers
Presented by:
Teresa Roberts at Kentucky Community & Technical College System
Abstract:
The Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS) participates in a state funded Ready to Work (RTW) program that allows for students to work for external businesses. Obtaining timesheet approvals from external supervisors has historically been a manual and tedious processes. The new RTW timesheet process allows non-KCTCS external supervisors, without security access to PeopleSoft HCM, to approve timesheets electronically. After RTW participants submit hours worked in time and labor, a workflow step sends an email with an embedded link to the external supervisor’s email. This link allows for non-KCTCS users to access and approve the timesheet electronically. This process has streamlined the time collection process significantly for this group.

PeopleSoft Financials Delegation Framework At Parkview Health
Presented by:
Randall Johnson at SpearMC
Abstract:
When Parkview Health deployed PeopleSoft eProcurement and Mobile Expenses, the user counts in their FSCM environment grew more than tenfold. So too did the Systematic Workflow Approvals, using AWE and Fluid Approvals. Volumes of requests to delegate was handled by quickly deploying the Self-Service Delegation Framwork for AWE.
Approvers were able to dynamically assign delegates to perform review and approvals at the business process level.

Basically a vendor return for the products received and how we can do it in PeopleSoft SCM. There are a variety of business reasons for initiating a vendor return. You may receive defective materials, too many items, items shipped in error, or items that you no longer require. When you return goods or services purchased from a vendor, you enter an RTV transaction in PeopleSoft Purchasing. Typically, this RTV transaction specifies the purchase order from which the materials were acquired; however, returns can be processed in PeopleSoft Purchasing without referencing the original purchase order if this detail is no longer available.

Using PeopleSoft Financials to Process 1042-S Forms
Presented by:
Sarah Tongier at State of Kansas
Abstract:
The State of Kansas is responsible for filing 1042-S forms with the IRS for any foreign person’s U.S.-earned income subject to withholding. The majority of these individuals are paid by the state’s public universities, which each have their own finance systems separate from the state’s central PeopleSoft systems. For years, since PeopleSoft Financials does not deliver functionality to produce 1042-S forms, the universities submitted paper records to the central state accounting office and these were entered into an Access database which generated the IRS forms.
In 2022 Kansas set a goal to find a way to bring the process inside of PeopleSoft and to eliminate the Access database. The delivered supplier and withholding tables were used to capture the necessary data elements while 1 custom process was built to produce a file in the IRS electronic format. The same file was used to generate the printable forms for mailing. Come learn how Kansas designed the process and managed the change across 7 separate universities to create more streamlined and automated reporting.

Many from One: TSS and Process Manufacturing
Presented by:
Michael Abbott at Trelleborg Sealing Solutions
Abstract:
Trelleborg Sealing Solutions began cutting flat gaskets for customers in their Chemical Transportation segment. They will buy a single sheet of material and cut different gaskets of different sizes from the single sheet. This necessitated process manufacturing which is designed to make multiple finished items (co-products) from one work order.
As an added challenge, two different types of cutting existed for each product necissitating two different processes. This brings interesting approaches to costing not found in discrete manufacturing. And not every product in a process is made every time, so managing work orders in that fashion creates interesting variances needing interpretation.
This presentation will cover concept to setup to workorders and accounting.

Reporting Tools Consolidation
Presented by:
Javier Garcia at Toll Brothers, Inc
Abstract:
Sooner or later, nearly every company finds itself owning multiple reporting software applications, increasing waste and risk. These technologies often become obsolete or fall into disuse. Employee training and adoption, coupled with the need to support a multitude of tools, becomes a costly security, IT, and HR liability. Mismatched technologies force users to retrieve partial data, resulting in inaccurate information and duplication of effort.
Consolidation, on the other hand, streamlines vendor management, simplifies user experience, and eliminates redundancies. Toll Brothers, the nation’s leading builder of luxury homes, effectively combined reporting tools to save a substantial amount of time and energy. Join Javier Garcia, Director of IT at Toll Brothers and Victor Dominey, Director of Sales at ReportsNow as they share their acquired knowledge on the benefits of consolidation.

How to use Orchestration with JDE once you create it
Presented by:
Lisa Tran at Monterey Mushrooms, Inc.
Abstract:
After attending sessions and taking some training I realized that creating orchestrations is easy but I still kept stumbling with what do I actually do with the orchestration once I create it.
I know that you can use the form extension to create a button on a form to call an orchestration but if you want to pass in data and the data you need is not on the form, then what do you do? I have also had people talk about writing external scripts or web pages and using the orchestrations from there. That is all great, but I am not a full-fledged programmer so how can I use what I have and know in JDE to make my orchestrations work for me? It has been a long road, and I have learned a lot about the next steps to take to actually get an orchestration to work within JDE and I wanted to share my experience.

Presented by:
Amy Vorabouth at Tiffany & Co.
Matt Vanderkooy at ERP-One Consulting, Inc.
Abstract:
Using orchestrations to move your business further along the automation and digital transformation journey seems exciting, practical, efficient and cost effective.
But how to get started?? What does an orchestration even do? How does it get built? What kinds of skills are required to develop one? What are some areas of your organization that could benefit from orchestration of processes?
This session will provide you a roadmap for getting started on your orchestration journey, from EDUCATION and IMAGINATION phases through to EXECUTING the design and development of your first simple through complex orchestrations.
Examples will be provided of complex orchestrations we’ve designed, built and implemented. These include:
• Steam-lining of time-consuming processes which previously involved multiple teams and multiple steps.
• Orchestrating a process to perform AR Cash Receipt to AR invoices using the manual data entry applications for 100K+ transactions.
• Other examples will also be provided.

Abstract:
How JP Cycles Tamed the Warehouse Robots
JP Cycles recently implemented a very successful warehouse robot solution using orchestrator. Being the CNC, my inner geek was super excited – ROBOTS!!! It was short-lived, because then the meetings started. Robots have their own language? And their own data? Volume is going to increase by how much? What if there’s a network glitch? What if there are errors? What do you mean errors aren’t saved? What if the data gets out of sync? How is it re-synced? How is it verified? Join me to hear how robots upended my simple existence and how orchestrator helped us create a semi-autonomous solution for error handling.

Process Automation Year End Process Cost accounting
Presented by:
Rajesh Ranabhor at Edwards Lifesciences
Kay Ondara at Edwards Lifesciences
Abstract:
We are a Global Medical device company with 7 manufacturing locations world wide. We use JD Edwards application for our manufacturing processes. Every year we have to run a laborious year end cost freeze process at each site which is error prone and takes a lot of effort to coordinate and manage the details of this activities, Since this needs to be done over the Holiday shutdown window it becomes even more challenging as the resources are stretched thin and the process is time sensitive from Financial Reporting standpoint. This was identified as an improvement opportunity and a project was launched to automate the process.
We developed an application which was able to overcome these challenges with the JDEdwards tools and automated the process where in it became convenient for users to manage it more efficiently.
We were able to run Year end Jobs in a more orchestrated manor giving a visibility to all the team players on the status of the process where in if any errors occurred are email and the completed reports are emailed to the users there by the users don’t have to stay near the system and are able to spend time with family during the shutdown time yet monitor the critical process which needs to be carried out.
This process entails running a set of batch applications (UBE) with changes to Processing options and have to be run one after another. The user has to wait and monitor the UBE to complete and then go submit the next one manually again.
All these pain points where addressed by the process automation with additional benefits like work life balance.

Best Practices for Automated 3-way Matching, GL Coding and Vouchering in JD Edwards
Presented by:
Joel Halvorson at IntelliChief
Abstract:
One of the biggest challenges in AP, is not just managing the sheer volume of invoices received daily but validating the line-item detail on each invoice, GL coding the information, and vouchering it for payment accurately in JD Edwards. The magic of AP Automation solutions is to automatically perform 3-way matching without manual intervention, but how exactly do you achieve the highest rate of straight-through-processing (STP) and processing efficiency when exceptions are encountered? This is particularly difficult when the invoices you receive are overly complicated with multiple line detail or they are missing information. Or even worse, when the AP invoices contain special charges (like freight surcharges) that are allocated differently depending on the supplier.
Join IntelliChief for an in-depth look at best practices to maximize STP and exception handling with Intelligent AP Automation. In this lively 1-hour interactive session, we will cover:
• Seeing hands-on why having a formal JDE integration is critical to improving the 3-way match process and vouchering invoices for payment
• Showing examples of 3-way matching complex invoices and how they can be automatically validated, GL coded and vouchered in JDE without human intervention in JDE
• Illustrate how AP supervisors can manage the daily workload of the AP staff, including moving work between AP clerks in a snap
• Highlighting best practices for AP Managers and Financial Executives to gain visibility into the AP process to review efficiency metrics and forecast future cash flow
• Reviewing real-life examples on how to best handle 3-way matching challenges

NEW for EnterpriseOne: Contractor Services Module Solves 3-Way Match Headache for Services Receipts
Presented by:
Scott Hollowell at Asset Management Solutions
Abstract:
A common challenge for companies trying to manage their Procure-to-Pay business process is encountered when trying to implement the segregation of duties & other controls mandated for Sarbanes-Oxley and Audit compliance. Whereas materials & parts procurement have JDE applications that easily support the 3-way match of Purchase Order – Receipt – Payment Voucher, companies procuring Services from Contractors are frequently faced with the dilemma of how to perform a Receipt of Services? All too often, companies arrive at a hodge-podge of process and JDE usage, ranging from flip-flopping the quantity and extended price fields on the PO, forwarding invoices via mail to the original requestor of services procurement for a “manual approval to pay,” and external software systems managing “A/P approvers.”
With the new Contractor Services Module for EnterpriseOne, managing Contractor Services procurement has never been easier. In this Session you will see how this EnterpriseOne native module allows your company to overcome the challenges that plague your Procurement, Operations, and Accounts Payables groups.

23 ERPs and Counting… Global Analytics at Silgan
Presented by:
William Cokeley at Silgan
Craig Kelly at Syntax Systems USA, LP
Abstract:
Due to multiple acquisitions that have been made, Silgan has over 20 different ERPs (Including JD Edwards and EBS) within its enterprise portfolio of applications, creating challenges to viewing global performance. Any sort of global views of data had to be manually created, were limited in the data that was provided, and did not meet the cadence that the business required to run the business optimally. Silgan decided to implement a Global Data Lake to consolidate data from all of their ERPs. In doing so, they were able to obtain critical global sales and purchasing KPIs in a timely manner, provide automation to their global tax processing, and gain efficiencies in the pricing of their finished goods. Join Will Cokeley, Vice President of Business Technology at Silgan, and Craig Kelly, Vice President of Analytics at Syntax to learn how Silgan was able to implement a global data lake and benefit from multiple use cases.

Tredegar Case Study-Replacing Excel/Email with Low-Code Platform: Centralizing Master Data Management – MRO, Product Definition (PLM) and More…
Presented by:
Joe Hebner at Tredegar Corporation
Doug Palaske at K-Rise Systems, Inc.
Abstract:
Accurate master data is the bedrock for system integrity. It guides users through the master data process to ensure the data is entered, approved, and finally loaded, via integrations, into JDE. It also utilizes system processes to reduce manual input for improved accuracy and efficiency.
This demo will include several processes we use to achieve these goals:
MRO: This process allows users to request and approve new MRO items and then utilize a third party to scrub the data and accurately categorize prior to loading items to JDE.
Purchase Items: Purchased item requests can be manually entered or fed into the request form by our product engineers via our PLM application. Requests are entered, approved, and systematically loaded to JDE.
Finished Goods: New finished goods SKU requests are entered, approved then the items, UOM conversions, BOM’s and routings are loaded to JDE. There are several validations to ensure data accuracy and verify the items are allowed based on our PLM application.
Objectives:
1. Integration: The platform uses several data integration methods with JDE via direct data access, calling business functions directly, and using Orchestrations to load data.
2. Process Improvement: How the processes are leading to improved data integrity and user efficiency
3. Agility: Low/No code platform allows the development team to quickly fulfill business requirements

WE’RE REJOICING OVER E-INVOICING!
Presented by:
Alex Baulf at Avalara
Abstract:
When it comes to implementing e-invoicing, businesses have no time to waste! Manual billing and invoice processing are outdated, error-prone and ineffective, costing companies significant resources every day. Additionally, there’s another threat on the horizon – the mandating of e-invoicing by tax authorities. E-invoicing will soon become a tax compliance requirement, if it isn’t already. Usage of e-invoicing processes and platforms is mandated by law in an increasing number of countries. As it stands, businesses have a choice – adopt e-invoicing or risk non-compliance and the inability to send invoices to customers. This seems daunting and leaves us feeling as if we have no reason to rejoice.
In this session, we will dive into how the increased digitalization of tax compliance and administration connects to e-invoicing and contributes to creating a more sustainable, efficient, and compliant business world. We will also delve into the future of e-invoicing, how the upcoming trend to e-compliance is expected to transform the financial landscape as we know it and what your business can do to keep up with the changes. By the end of this session we will be rejoicing over e-invoicing!

Is your business on the hook for new taxes?! Changes in communications taxes and how to stay ahead
Presented by:
Dewey Minor at Avalara
Abstract:
State and Local governments can no longer depend on communications taxes of traditional wireline, wireless and even VoIP providers as reliable sources of revenue. Traditional voice services have been replaced almost entirely with new technologies like streaming and videoconferencing or being embedded into other cloud services and SaaS platforms. Communications services are increasingly pervasive and found in products, services, or apps
that were typically never considered to be a telco or communications offering. The adoption of communications-platform-as-a-service (CPaaS) solutions, which deliver communications services like voice, videoconferencing, SMS, and wireless connectivity through simple APIs, has allowed services to become embedded in a wide range of product categories. And that can make them UNEXPECTEDLY subject to communications tax!
To keep up, new rules and regulations are being introduced! Does this include you and your business’ services? If you incorporate voice calling, video chat, or messaging services into any of your CRM, SaaS, or marketing automation platforms, you may be subject to a wide array of communications taxes. Whether you participate directly in the communications space or plan to incorporate any communications features or streaming into your product or service, staying ahead of communications taxes will remain important.

Abstract:
Flexibility to target and load specific setup is key in any Cloud implementation, roll out, release cycle, patch cycle etc. The ability to then readily confirm settings are consistent across multiple Cloud environments is paramount. Basic implementation tools are provided but do not consider practical usage, lack clarity of reporting or consistency checking and require numerous loading mechanisms / user interfaces.
Join us for this presentation where we will take you through just how easy it can be, with the right tools, to work with the Cloud configuration settings and extract, transform, load, compare them across environments, entities, time and even the quarterly patch updates. We will touch on the automated generation of MC050s, comparing settings across multiple Cloud environments, seeing the impacts of quarterly patch updates, loading targeted settings across environments, tracking who / what is making changes and user access / segregation of duties reporting etc. The session should be of interest to anyone working with the Oracle Fusion (SaaS) Cloud Applications.

Extending your SaaS Solutions. Best Practices
Presented by:
Gustavo Gonzalez at KNEX Technology
Abstract:
Over the years, we have heard that Oracle Cloud Applications (Fusion Apps) are closed, and there is no possible way of customizing them. Many organizations with unique business processes have been hesitant to adopt a SaaS solution because of these constraints. In this session, we will demonstrate how you can extend your SaaS solution and some of the best practices for executing it. We’ll start with Oracle itself, which has built many extensions such as AI & ML for multiple modules, pre-built Digital Assistants, out-of-the-box integrations with Warehouse Management and other products, and even integrations with Fusion Applications Warehouse (FAW), which provides a new set of analytics capabilities for your Oracle Cloud Apps.
This is the starting point toward a world of extensions that every organization can perform, adding functionality not just to the features and functions that Oracle provides but building new functionalities to help their business processes. We’ll review some of the tools available and some of the best practices throughout the lifecycle of the development.
We’ll also consider adopting security and governance when you extend your Oracle Cloud Applications.

Distribution Requirement Planning (DRP) with Oracle Supply Chain Management Cloud & PaaS to reduce excess inventory in Oil and Gas Services.
Presented by:
Ashish Bhatnagar at Birlasoft
Abstract:
Post-COVID supply chain disruptions and unprecedented demand swings have led to accumulation of excess inventory across regional distribution-centers in oil and gas industry. In a VUCA climate, optimizing inventory is crucial to avoid procurement of assets and meet the demand profitably.
One client we worked with was dealing with this challenge and wanted to rationalize their inventory. Birlasoft collaborated with the customer to deploy Oracle Supply Chain Management Cloud and Distribution Requirement Planning (DRP) solution using Oracle PaaS for inventory optimization.
The Distribution Requirement Planning (DRP) solution facilitates rebalancing of inventory and assets across the supply chain. Using this system, we modeled the organization’s supply chain ecosystem (including manufacturing sites, warehouses, and central distribution centers) to achieve visibility and, consequently, inventory correction across all nodes.
In this session, learn how the DRP solution can help you save millions of dollars by optimizing inventory to satisfy customer orders across the globe. Gain insights on building a lean supply chain with supply chain modeling in Oracle SCM Cloud and using dashboards to develop an inventory control tower.

How Heathrow Airport leveraged Automated Testing to underpin the largest business transformation project in its 75-year history
Presented by:
Tyler Price at DWS
Caroline Knight at Heathrow Airport
Abstract:
In 2019, Heathrow launched Project Magenta, a major upgrade of the back office that would replace its 15 year-old on-prem eBusiness Suite with Cloud Applications. The core aim of the project was to modernize the airport’s HR, Finance, Revenue, Service and Asset Management systems, empowering employees with modern tools to unlock their full talent and potential. It was to be the largest business transformation in Heathrow’s 75-year history.
Ensuring a smooth integration and deployment of this ambitious project required detailed analysis of a huge number of functions, the ability to identify potential problem areas and the effective testing of the new processes to minimise operational disruptions.
Heathrow’s technology consultant Capgemini had extensive experience of DWS’s testing software SwifTest and proposed to Heathrow that it should be an integral part of delivering Project Magenta.
After a successful Proof of Concept, SwifTest was incorporated into a Quarterly testing cycle to handle around 150 tests within a two-week window. To achieve the same volume of testing would have taken 3-4 weeks if undertaken manually.
Project Magenta went live in October 2021, with tasks as different as hiring new colleagues, procuring goods, and generating revenue all brought together into one suite allowing the airport to benefit from efficiency through automation and driving faster, accurate decision making.
This session will focus on how Heathrow were able to access the core benefits of an automated testing program and how you can leverage the same; namely significant time and resource savings and the provision of high-quality data, evidencing each stage of the process and enabling clear records to be maintained.

3 Reasons Automated Testing Makes Sense for Your Business
Presented by:
Todd Griffith at Argano
Abstract:
While the ability to update your ERP, HCM, and SCM systems regularly and easily is one of the best things about Oracle Cloud, the quarterly updates can still pose challenges. Your IT and business user teams need to test the changes to understand what will happen once the updates occur and prevent any trouble. Historically, most of that testing is done manually—it’s time-consuming, expensive, ripe for human errors, and difficult to be truly comprehensive.
This is where automated testing makes all the difference. This presentation will walk the attendees through the concept of automated testing, a typical quarterly update process executed efficiently, the benefits, the detailed documentation output, and how automation can free IT and business users to work on higher-value innovations and the business.

The Importance of Archiving Before an Upgrade or the Cloud
Presented by:
David Shea at ARCTOOLS
Abstract:
Upgrades are a lot of work. For some, new features make the upgrade exciting. For others, it’s just more work. Poor performance in CRP will discourage users from the start.
Re-platforming or moving to the cloud is also a lot of work… likely significantly more than an in-place upgrade. And it could end up being more expensive than you expect.
Archiving before or as part of an upgrade changes the experience for EVERYONE. There are many benefits, ranging from faster testing to quicker conversions. But the most important may be the vast improvement in user enthusiasm for the upgrade. Archiving a CRP environment will provide a significant performance boost that will help get ALL users excited about the upgrade, not just those with new features. Archiving production prior to the upgrade will shorten the time to perform the upgrade, and improve performance after the upgrade.
Archiving before moving to the cloud has all the same benefits described above, but can also result in significant savings in your cloud costs. Space usage is a significant chunk of your bill. Save a terabyte in production and you can save that same terabyte multiple times – PD, PY, QA, CRP, training and sandbox environments… Your 1TB just became 6TB. And less data requires less horsepower (processors) and memory to process. So you can get better performance from a lower-spec server.
ARCTOOLS has helped hundreds of customers archive JDE data. This session will focus on several customers that purged and archived before or during their upgrade or move to the cloud. Particular focus will be on a customer that made the decision to archive in the middle of their upgrade. With only weeks until go-live, the archive was done in parallel with CRP. User enthusiasm rose significantly and the archive was a success.

Eliminating database I/O latency with Oracle New Persistent Memory Features
Presented by:
Kai Yu at Dell Technologies
Abstract:
Database I/O latency often posts significant performance bottlenecks on database systems. Oracle Persistent Memory database and the Oracle Memory Speed File system(OMS) introduced Oracle Database 21c and 19c respectively provide the support for Persistent Memory (PMEM) as database storage and significantly reduce database I/O Latency. By mapping database buffer cache directly onto Persistent Memory storage, Persistent Memory Database directly uses data residing in the Persistent Memory storage and eliminates the latency of copying data into the database buffer cache. This session discusses these two features in detail and how we leverage them to achieve the extremely low latency and high throughputs in a high performance database system. This session provides the step by step how-to details of implementing these two Persistent Memory database features, also provides the use cases & performance benefit studies of leveraging these Two features in a high performance database system. We will have some discussions on the Intel latest announcement on Persistent Memory technology and the related future development direction.

Data as Code: Exploring Data and Database Portability
Presented by:
Sean Scott at Viscosity North America
Abstract:
Databases are traditionally roadblocks to application development. Data refreshes are time consuming and require down time and coordination across teams. Legacy environments must balance the risk of stale data against the time, effort, and inconvenience of reverting databases to baselines. Even modern agile shops struggle with this task, engineering complex processes or investing in complex solutions for data management. The primary obstacle? The way traditional databases merge software, configuration, and data, creating a bottleneck around niche skills unique to database administrators.
Organizations eliminate that dependency by shifting to a container model and delivering Data as Code. Containers separate database software from its data. Decoupling data eliminates the need for specialized skills, making it another artifact in the development lifecycle. Individuals and teams can create and refresh data on-demand, version it alongside application code, and distribute it as code or objects. Data as Code reduces uncertainty introduced by data drift and allows organizations to experience greater development velocity, consistent and reliable testing, and improved application quality!

ASH Incident Analysis With Interactive Network Graph
Presented by:
Craig Shallahamer at OraPub, Inc.
Abstract:
Performance incidents that are rare, random, intense, and short-lived can be challenging for Oracle Database Administrators to resolve. In such cases, an AWR report may not be helpful. Instead, using raw Active Session History (ASH) data can be an effective approach. ASH provides detailed information about database session activity, including SQL statements, resource consumption, and wait events. In this presentation, I will explain why ASH is so useful, how it works, and how we can use ASH to solve complex performance issues. With the help of four free scripts, I will guide you through a step-by-step process for analyzing performance incidents using ASH and demonstrate how to visualize the incident using an interactive network graph.

Inferring SQL Run Times And Analysis Using Raw ASH Data
Presented by:
Craig Shallahamer at OraPub, Inc.
Abstract:
Have you ever wanted to know the runtime of your SQL queries without having to instrument your application? If so, this presentation is for you. By analyzing raw ASH data, you can learn how to infer the runtime of your SQL queries and gain valuable insights into their performance.
For example, let’s say you receive a support ticket stating that a particular query takes 45 seconds to run. How can you confirm this? Is 45 seconds an unusual runtime for this query? Has this happened before? Is there a bad execution plan being used? What would be a good execution plan for this query? And where in your application does this SQL reside? All of these questions can be answered by creatively analyzing ASH data.
In this presentation, I will demonstrate how to manually infer SQL run times using ASH data, as well as how to use a simple yet flexible SQL script to analyze ASH data and report the results at the execution plan level. I will also show you how to use Python to analyze runtime samples.
Join me as we explore the untapped potential of ASH data analysis and learn how to get the most out of our SQL queries.

CLOBs and BLOBs in the Semi-structured World of JSON and XML
Presented by:
Michael Rosenblum at Dulcian Inc
Abstract:
One of the most critical aspects of building effective systems is the successful management of semi-structured information. The database is no longer only a place to store dollars and cents for the purposes of accounting. Efficient manipulation of XML and JSON has become one of the most critical elements of contemporary database infrastructure – and in the majority of cases XML or JSON internally are implemented as LOBs. However, few people in the development community really understand the underlying mechanics of Oracle LOB datatypes and consider it yet another DBA issue. This presentation attempts to fill that knowledge gap.

Graph Studio in Autonomous Database makes it easy to create, query, analyze, and visualize graphs. We will show examples of using these powerful features to detect anomalous patterns in a financial transactions dataset in the database. We will demonstrate the use of an automated graph modeling tool to create a graph from data in relational tables, use a SQL-like graph query language to query the graph, and use pre-built graph algorithms to explore and analyze the data in new ways.

Transforming a Workplace Culture with Intentional Inclusion: A Case Study
Presented by:
Veronica Unnikrishnan at 5Q
Stacey Young at 5Q
Abstract:
What does it look like to be intentional about inclusion? In the case of 5Q, a technology and cyber security services company, explosive growth in a short period of time led to its founders being surrounded by a small group with common interests. As a result, the company and its leadership unintentionally lacked diversity which led to some workplace culture challenges and missed opportunities. With a concerted effort, 5Q formed a unique team of diverse, talented members which has been a main driver of the company’s success and continued growth. In this interactive session, attendees will hear about real outcomes and the steps taken to integrate diversity into the 5Q organization.
