Oracle just recently announced, on the Quarterly Customer Update Webcast, our new Oracle E-Business Suite Adapter for Imaging and Process Management. The Adapter provides solutions that increase the automation of processes like accounts payable and expense management, by integrating E-Business Suite with document imaging and additional workflow capabilities that help to streamline operations.

The Oracle I/PM integration with Oracle E-Business Suite is more "configuration" than "customization" because the adapter is an out-of-the box integration that provides easy to use solution templates and commands to set-up and manage the system. This eliminates all hard-coded integration mechanisms and provides flexible configuration options to define which additional commands are made available to EBS users and what happens when a command is invoked from EBS.

Learn more by reading the data sheet.

Download the adapter from OTN.

Note:
* Supports E-Business Suite Release 11 or 12.0.4.0.0.
* Can also be configured to use Oracle Internet Directory (OID) and Oracle Single Sign-On (OSSO).

Some of you might have noticed that we recently added a new component called "UCM Clean Content Component" to the UCM Document Management 10gR3 bundle. If you haven't downloaded it yet, you'll find it on the Universal Content Management Product Download page on OTN under the "Oracle Universal Content Management Document Management 10gR3" section.

So what is "Clean Content?" Clean Content is Oracle's really cool SDK that allows you to examine Office documents for hidden content, and if desired, scrub the hidden information from the files. It has been available to Oracle Outside In Technology OEM customers for quite some time, and now we're making it available to UCM customers. Clean Content nicely complements the suite of content filtering and extraction technology offered by Oracle to OEM and UCM customers.

Why is this useful? Many Microsoft Office documents contain hidden content that you're not aware of and would not want exposed to a wide audience. For example, Word documents might contain hidden comments, deleted slides from PowerPoint files might still be in the file, or Excel files that connect to databases might contain database user names, passwords and other connection information that you don't want released.

The Clean Content Component for UCM 10gR3 uses Oracle's Clean Content technology to allow users to examine managed documents for hidden content. The component provides a service that analyzes a managed document, and generates a Document Risk Analysis Report. Users can access this functionality via the "Examine Document" option in the "Action" menu on the Content Information page of the desired item. The component does not automatically scrub content at this time (for example, before publishing files to an extranet or at the end of the workflow before saving the final revision). However, we look forward to adding that functionality in a future release -- stay tuned!

We are putting the final touches on an updated integration between Oracle Imaging and Process Management and PeopleSoft. This integration will allow you to configure access to image centric workflow tasks and images from PeopleSoft screens.

If you would like more information about this updated integration or are interested in a pre-release demo and sharing your feedback please contact your sales rep or product management.

This release contains a few bug fixes that some customers have requested. These fixes are largely in the areas of Excel macros and clashes with products from other IRM vendors. It is however a fairly minor release, and we do not expect most customers to upgrade to it.

It is now available for download from Oracle Technology Network and eDelivery.

For more information please see the release notes
