Testing will be done in the test environment before moving configurations to production. The project aims to automate manual inventory processes for the departments to make processing more efficient.
Undoing Event-driven Adaptation of Business ProcessesSébastien Mosser
This document discusses undoing event-driven adaptations of business processes. It proposes automated unadaptation by identifying the triggering event, correlated adaptations, and yielding the system as if the adaptation never occurred. A demonstration shows events triggering adaptations, then automated unadaptation identifying the trigger, pruning correlated changes, and replaying the process. The approach aims to avoid corrupted processes from naive unadaptation and supports platform-independent unadaptation of running process instances over time.

ISPRS: COMPARISON OF MULTIPLE IMUs IN AN EXPERIMENTAL FLIGHT TESTLaura Samsó, MSc
Laura Samsó, Mariano Wis, Ismael Colomina
GP-IMU-Bench experiment consists of simultaneous acquisition of data from multiple inertial units under the same
dynamic and static conditions. To accomplish those conditions, all the sensors are fixed on a platform that is directly
mounted into an airplane. This configuration permits all the inertial units to be able to sense the same movements. The
aim of this experiment is to obtain a set of data that allows establishing some comparisons among the IMUs that the IG
owns. The results of this experiment are very helpful to evaluate which is the best kind of IMU to be mounted on any
remote sensor.
In order to get these datasets, a series of HW and SW modifications were applied on IG’s TAG system for acquiring
the data from the IMUs simultaneously. Therefore, this paper goes through these modifications made on the system
with a more detailed description of the experiment. Some preliminary results of the comparison are shown.

Performance Tuning With Oracle ASH and AWR. Part 1 How And Whatudaymoogala
The document discusses various techniques for identifying and analyzing SQL performance issues in an Oracle database, including gathering diagnostic data from AWR reports, ASH reports, SQL execution plans, and real-time SQL monitoring reports. It provides an overview of how to use these tools to understand what is causing performance problems by identifying what is slow, quantifying the impact, determining the component involved, and analyzing the root cause.
The document discusses cost based performance modeling as a way to deal with uncertainties in system performance. It involves creating a model based on measuring the costs of individual transactions to map system behavior to resource requirements. Transactions represent units of work for the system. The costs of transactions are measured by testing them at different rates. If transactions are linear with rate, the total resource usage can be calculated by summing costs. Non-linearities require a different approach. The model allows estimating performance for various scenarios without exhaustive testing.

DISCOVERY:
The requirement need is to setup and configure inventory for Surgery and
Anesthesiology department items, within the Peoplesoft Financials applications.
The need for this change is due to the current inventory process for both
departments are administered manually. The current approach is labor intensive
and time consuming where in the resources utilized to process manually should
be focused on more efficient duties. The use of the inventory module would
automate the processing of inventory items for Surgery and Anesthesiology and
allow for more efficient processing and better use of resources.
At UTHCT the Inventory module is currently used by Stores and Plants
department to administer the inventory. At the time of implementing the two
departments (08/05) the UOMs (unit of measure) were not defined for all items.
In the instance of time neither dept., was included in the original project. This
request can be accomplished through delivered Peoplesoft Financials SCM
(supply chain management) functionality and would not require any
customizations as currently defined.
SYSTEM DESIGN:
To ensure the requirements were captured properly I met with Crystal Smith
on October 2nd. She expressed what she was looking for, as well as I
summarized the functionality and usage of the Inventory module. The user
ultimately conveyed a need to have the setup and configuration to mirror
Stores and add the bar code label functionality. The primary task to setup
inventory is to establish a new inventory business unit, setup Standard Cost as
the preferred Cost Element, setup of location and levels, format all surgery
inventory item numbers to begin with a specific number (e.g. 5xxxxx), prepare
inventory items for import, import the inventory items via component interface
(delivered ps tool) from an existing excel spreadsheet which is a list of 1000+
items, apply configuration for bar code labels, print bar code labels, do express
1
2. SDLC – PEOPLESOFT INVENTORY SETUP
issues to get inventory balances into the system, and apply security changes to
the primary users for accessibility.
SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT:
The component interface is a Peoplesoft Financials tool designed to import
data from a 3rd party source into Peoplesoft. Excel is the source used to extract
the data. Both departments have catalogued all of their items into an excel
spreadsheet and the items count is in excess of 1000 for Surgery and just over
254 for Anesthesiology. The format of the spreadsheets is different for each
department but includes all items currently in use. For surgery there are
approximately 10 different locations, in which items are housed. The process
of importing the items from the spreadsheet to the PS_Master_Item table is
comprised of several sequential steps that would begin with
o creating/assigning an inv_item_id for each item listed in the
spreadsheet
o formatting the spreadsheet with the applicable fields that correspond to
PS_Master_Item table
o Configure the parameters to run CI tool
o Execute the CI tool to import the items into the Master_Item table
o Error clean-up of items that did not import
o 2nd run of the CI tool to import the remaining items (there may be
multiple iterations of CI running to import all items after resolving the
errors.
TESTING AND DEBUGGING:
The setup and configuration will take place in FSTEST to ensure all
components work as designed. This will also point out any issues prior to the
go live in the production environment. Testing and validation will be
necessary for the end-user to confirm the requirement is met as described.
IMPLEMENT:
Move to FSPROD – all inventory configurations for surgery is applied as in
the FSTEST environment.
SYSTEM & ROUTINE MAINTENANCE:
This would encompass adding new items and or deleting existing items. Run
the Cost Rollup & Cost Production Update (these two processes keep standard
cost nsync and updated) processes on a routine basis. Changing the locations
on-line as needed.

Figure 3: Proposed Solution - Mobile Par Level Updates
Proposed Solution: Performing Par Counts via Mobile Scanner
Tool Needed – any PDA that is Windows CE compatible (interface with PS)
Examples – Motorola MC50 and MC70
With this approach the par level update processing takes place through the use of a PDA with the following steps:
o Connect PDA to wedge and must be on a machine with PS Financials
o Download Inventory par information
o Use PDA device to obtain par counts by location
o Dock device to iniate synchronization process this updates par levels within the Inventory module
o By location
o actual item
o The frequency of updating the par levels can take place as often as the information is downloaded and based on how the business
processes are defined.
Required Setup:
o Configuration of the PDA
o Configure settings in PS Financials Inventory to read PDA
Delivered PS Financials Functionality:
o Inventory Master Item
o Par locations / levels
o Bar code ready - Enabled
o Technology to send & receive data via
o Electronic data collection

Figure 4: Inventory Terminology
Inventory devices:
Terms Description
Scanner A electronic device that electro-optically converts optical information into electrical signals
Wand Scanner A handheld scanning device used as a contact bar code or OCR reader
Cordless handheld A handheld scanning device that transmits the data wirelessly to a base station attached to a PC
Windows CE Operating System designed for portable and handhelds computers
Peoplesoft Inventory :
Term Description
Putaway Is the method to stock inventory items
Express Issue Use this method to enter the information required to get the requested stock to the customer. You can create internal orders, external orders, interunit
transfers, and return-to-vendor orders from this component. Best used when you process small orders of stock
Physical Inventory A wall-to-wall count of all items in the PeopleSoft Inventory business unit. You must prohibit material movement for the business unit before performing
this type of count. Always a system defined.
Cycle Count A wall-to-wall count of all items in the PeopleSoft Inventory business unit. You must prohibit material movement for the business unit before performing
this type of count. Can be system defined or manual
Synchronize A method to update the same data between two sources.
Replenishment The Par Location Replenishment process generates orders for items that fall below optimal quantity levels. For stock-replenished items, the process
creates a separate material stock request for each business unit that supplies material to a par location.
Par Location Enables you to establish stock locations that can be replenished without tracking item on-hand quantities and material movement transactions.
PS - Bar codes RF – Radio Frequency are used when immediate access to the database is required. RF data collection applications produce transactions that are passed to
technologies the PS applications through PS Integration Broker using XML messages.
Keyboard Wedge – connects to the keyboard that has access to a workstation running PS application. A wand or laser gun connects to the keyboard wedge
that inputs the bar-coded information directly into the transaction pages.
Batch – data is collected in an ASCII test file then loaded into PS using inbound file publish utility
EDC – Electronic Automated mechanism to import and export data from a third party source
Data Collection
Storage Location Use these labels on storage locations – such as aisles, rows, and bins – in a business unit.
labels
Item Storage labels Use these labels to identify items in a carton or storage location.
Storage Container Use these labels to identify storage containers at storage locations.
