1.2.2 Non-Functional Features

This topic provides the information about the non-functional features added to the product in this release.

Redwood Theme

The Oracle Redwood user experience has been implemented across all the screens in the Oracle Banking Supply Chain Finance appshell to provide a consistent and effective user experience to drive efficiency.

This implementation does not affect any functionality. A few more details are listed below as Redwood comes into play:
  1. Oracle JET class has been deprecated.
  2. Inline styling in HTML has been deprecated.
  3. CSS utility classes are being used on the component level instead of Custom classes for font size, font-color, padding, margin, bg-color, heading, etc.,
  4. Images are no longer used for icons.
  5. Libraries like lux, moment js, math js, jszip, and timsort are deprecated.

Configuration Transport Service

Oracle Banking Supply Chain Finance Cloud Service now supports Configuration Transport Service.

As part of this release, Configuration Transport Service is introduced in the application to enable the customers to transfer small data set of maintenance from one environment to another environment. For example, Charges, Product, and Accounting, etc., maintenances contains small volume of data, that can be transferred using Configuration Transport Service. For more information, refer to Oracle Banking Configuration Transport Utility User Guide.

SMS-RBAC

As part of this release, RBAC mechanism is optimized to enhance performance and reduce overhead. The RBAC check is now centralized at the plato-apigateway, using REST endpoint URL patterns and HTTP methods for precise identification. This update eliminates redundant checks during interservice calls and maintains the same level of control. Additionally, coherence caching at the gateway ensures faster response times.

OBCL Gateway Request change for Payment Reversal Support

Previously, Supply Chain Finance sends the payment reversal gateway request to OBCL using IOPK format i.e., only sending the contract reference number without the event sequence number (ESN). This causes the reversal of all the subsequent payments. As part of this release, the payment reversal request will be sent through FSFS format which will include the event sequence number (ESN) as well.

Extensibility in Inquiry Screens

As part of this release, Inquiry screens are enhanced to provide the users the ability to add the required fields at the code level.

Extensibility in Alert Screens

As part of this release, Alerts screens are enhanced to provide the users the ability to add the required fields at the code level.

Common Entity – Increase Field Length

As part of this release, the application is enhanced to increase the field length of the following fields; Branch Code, User ID, Customer Number, Customer Name, Account Number, Account Description, GL Code and Entity Code.

sfs-alerts-services

obscfcm-alerts-services has been replaced by a new microservice, i.e., sfs-alerts-services, which is a shared service with other OBMA products.

Enhanced Audit Date/Time Handling: UTC Storage with Configurable Time Zone Display

Audit timestamps were recorded using each branch's local date and time zone, leading to inconsistencies when users in different time zones accessed audit records.

To address this, audit timestamps are now stored in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), ensuring a consistent and accurate reference to the actual time of operations. Additionally, the branch context is retained to maintain backward compatibility and traceability.

Users can now choose to view timestamps in UTC, their local time zone, or their branch’s time zone, providing flexibility and clarity when reviewing audit records.
