Utilities Application Framework

Oracle Utilities Analytics Visualization

Calendar and Time Dimensions

Web Services

XSLT Storage in the Database - SOAP Services

Store eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLTs) in the database instead of the file system when processing inbound Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) web services and outbound messages.

REST Web Service URL Update

Align more closely to industry standards using the new published URL for a REST web service.

REST Web Services Support Parameters and Additional HTTP Methods

Use new PUT, GET and PATCH HTTP methods, and path and query parameters.

Implementation Tools

Data Conversion Tools

Convert data for any maintenance object enabled for conversion using a new set of generic batch programs.

OJet Upgrade

Experience better platform standardization. As part of our on-going cross-platform standardization efforts, such as accessibility compliance and laying a foundation for interoperability support, the Oracle Jet libraries have been upgraded to version 7.1.

Accessibility Enhancements

Alternate Row Header on Data Explorers

Experience better accessibility now that Data Explorer zones support explicitly designating one or more columns as the row header.

Alternative Red Text Color Option

Experience better accessibility now that an alternative shade of red is available to apply to text for emphasis.

Miscellaneous

Date and Time Extracted in XSD Format

Convert date and time fields to XML Schema Definition (XSD) format when you extract data.

Market Transaction Management Environment Initialization

Initialize an environment to enable import of market transaction management metadata using a new batch program.

Batch Thread Error Handling Enhancement

Provide an automatic restart for batch threads that fail for technical reasons when running a batch process.

Configuration Updates on ILM Enabled Maintenance Objects

Use enhanced Information Lifecycle Management (ILM)-enabled maintenance objects.
