Product Manager at Microsoft

Hi,

I am grateful for all of your support while I was at Oracle. I am now a Product Manager at Microsoft for Windows Essential Business Server (EBS), formerly code named "Centro". EBS is scheduled to be released later this year. EBS is a server solution for mid-size businesses, 25-300 clients. Please check out my blog for EBS: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver/essential/default.mspx.

Cheers,

Chris

Location Data Hub: TCA and User Defined Attributes

Oracle Site Hub is a loction data hub. Site Hub leverages Oracle's Trading Community Architecture (TCA), e.g. location, parties, party-to-party relationships, legal entities, contacts, etc. While some of the TCA entities, e.g. location, are created in the Site Hub user interface, TCA entity data is stored in TCA since other Oracle Applications are already integrated and leveraging those entities in TCA. Therefore, the source of truth for those entities remains in TCA, i.e. no change to your TCA data model. Site Hub also leverages user-defined attributes from our PIM hub, allowing the user to define custome attributes to be stored at the site level in Site Hub.

You can define your custom attributes to be stored for each site (or location) and attach any files to that site, e.g. contracts, service agreements, engineering drawings, equipment manuals, etc.
