Feature Summary

Column Definitions:

Features Delivered Enabled

Report = New or modified, Oracle-delivered, ready to run reports.

UI or Process-Based: Small Scale = These UI or process-based features are typically comprised of minor field, validation, or program changes. Therefore, the potential impact to users is minimal.

UI or Process-Based: Larger Scale* = These UI or process-based features have more complex designs. Therefore, the potential impact to users is higher.

Features Delivered Disabled = Action is needed BEFORE these features can be used by END USERS. These features are delivered disabled and you choose if and when to enable them. For example, a) new or expanded BI subject areas need to first be incorporated into reports, b) Integration is required to utilize new web services, or c) features must be assigned to user roles before they can be accessed.

Ready for Use by End Users
(Features Delivered Enabled)

Reports plus Small Scale UI or Process-Based new features will have minimal user impact after an update. Therefore, customer acceptance testing should focus on the Larger Scale UI or Process-Based* new features.

Action is Needed BEFORE Use by End Users
(Features Delivered Disabled)

Not disruptive as action is required to make these features ready to use. As you selectively choose to leverage, you set your test and roll out timing.

Developer Updates

Reward API Sorting

Both the Rewards v2.1 and User Rewards v2.1 API endpoints now support sorting criteria. You can now sort these API responses by point value, start date, or title.

This API enhancement improves the member experience that can be provided out-of-the-box. Adding sorting controls allows members to better navigate the available rewards and facilitates redemption.

Steps to Enable

Review the REST service definition in the REST API guides, available from the Oracle Help Center > your apps service area of interest > REST API. If you're new to Oracle's REST services you may want to begin with the Quick Start section.

Key Resources

Usable Coupon API - Expired Coupon Filter

The Usable Coupon API endpoint now supports an expiration filter so that only valid coupons are returned in the response.

This enhancement improves the purchase experience of programs leveraging our Usable Coupon API.

Steps to Enable

Review the REST service definition in the REST API guides, available from the Oracle Help Center > your apps service area of interest > REST API. If you're new to Oracle's REST services you may want to begin with the Quick Start section.

Tips And Considerations

The Usable Coupon API is a great way to remind program members that they have offers available. We recommend incorporating it into your e-commerce checkout flow or POS system.

User Redemption History API v2.1
