The latest release of AventX gives your organization one platform for the documents your business systems send out, whether they leave as an email, a fax, an archive copy, or a printed page. Your team always knows where a document is, and your administrators look after one product instead of several.

The 26.3 releases of AventX for Oracle EBS and AventX for Oracle Cloud build on that platform, with faster answers on delivery status, complete work order packets from one page, and one delivery per customer, complete with attachments. AventX Local Print Client 26.3.00 brings documents to each user’s desk or an unattended station, with every print confirmed.

This release also brings AventX Mobile 26.3, which makes field work more dependable when connectivity is not. Pending actions sync the moment a connection returns, uncertain submissions are flagged instead of resent, and sign-in handles single sign-on and changed passwords more clearly.

Delivery

One Screen for Every Document You Send

When a customer asks whether an invoice or purchase order went out, the answer usually means digging through several systems. Delivery Status tracks every job from the moment it arrives to its final outcome, across email, fax, archive, and printing. Your team can search and filter, preview the document, and resend or cancel a job themselves, and administrators and users can save the searches they run most.

Find Any Delivery, and Act on It, Faster

The AventX Delivery Status page for Oracle EBS now lets you search by the Oracle EBS concurrent request report name, so you can go straight to the documents a specific report produced. Transmit Date and Transmit Time are available as their own sortable columns, and clicking a delivery’s subject opens its details. Users can also View Details, Manage Documents, and View Logs all within the app.

Statuses You Can Read at a Glance

Delivery Status in AventX uses updated status colors, so each delivery state is easier to tell apart when you scan a busy page. Manage Document is offered only for deliveries that AventX holds, so users no longer open an empty page by mistake.

One Email per Customer, Not One per Invoice

Delivery grouping in AventX for Oracle Cloud sends documents that belong together as a single delivery. Instead of receiving five separate emails for five invoices, a customer receives one email carrying all of them, under a subject that describes the group. You choose the value the documents share, such as a customer account number, and leaving the setting empty keeps one delivery per document. The Delivery Status page shows each grouped delivery as one row listing everything it carried, then one row per recipient as AventX confirms each one.

Hold a Single Destination Until You’re Ready

Destination holds in AventX for Oracle Cloud let you park an individual delivery in AventX instead of sending it. One document can go to some recipients right away while the copy for another waits for review, and the hold works for print as well as email and fax. A held delivery is fully prepared and is released from AventX when it’s wanted, so nothing is lost. A hold set for the whole document still applies to every one of its destinations.

Fax and Email Through the Services You Choose

Multiple Cloud Fax Options or your FAXCOM Server, and email through AventX’s email tracking ESP. Archive devices keep a copy in a folder, on a file server, or in AventX’s own encrypted store. When a delivery fails for a reason that can clear up, AventX retries it on its own, so a busy fax line doesn’t turn into a support call.

Fax Numbers Checked Before They Are Dialed

A badly formatted or unwanted number wastes money and can reach the wrong place. Every fax device checks each number against your validation and block settings and formats it for the fax service before it is dialed. Administrators can block emergency and premium-rate numbers and keep their own block list, and can preview how a number will be handled before saving.

Templates for Emails and Cover Pages

Templates let you set the look and wording of email bodies, fax cover pages, and status notification emails once, and have job details filled in for each document. Combined with the AventX Translation Server, documents can be converted and combined before they are delivered or printed.

Integrations

Send Faxes and Emails Straight From SAP

The SAP RFC Module lets SAP users send faxes from SAP and have AventX deliver them through the same devices as everything else. Delivery results are reported back to SAP, so your users see the final status where they started. It can serve more than one SAP system from the same AventX server.

SAP S/4HANA on the Same Platform

AventX for SAP HANA now connects to the new AventX, so SAP S/4HANA invoices, purchase orders, and work orders appear in the same Delivery Status page as everything else you send, and SAP users can receive their documents through AventX Local Print Client.

Deliver the Whole Document Set from a Multi-Step Process

Parent-child workflows in AventX for Oracle Cloud handle Oracle Cloud scheduled processes that fan out into several child processes. AventX waits for the parent process to finish, collects the output of its matching child processes, and combines the related documents into one delivery. If any expected child output is missing, nothing partial is sent and the failure is recorded, so recipients never get an incomplete set.

Manage Scheduled Process Polling from the Web Interface

ESS Poller configuration in AventX for Oracle Cloud has moved into the web interface, under General Configuration. Administrators add, edit, and switch on or off the Oracle Cloud scheduled processes AventX watches, and choose how each one is handled, without editing files on the server. Changes to that list take effect on the next poll with no restart, and existing settings move over automatically on upgrade.

Certified for Java 25 and Ready for Oracle Database 26ai

AventX for Oracle EBS is certified with Java 25 LTS and adds support for Oracle Database 26ai. Your IT team can move to current, long-term-supported platforms without AventX holding the upgrade back.

Printing

Printers and Print Queues in One Console

Adding printers one at a time is slow and error-prone. AventX lets you add printers by hand or import them from a CSV file, a CUPS configuration, or Microsoft 365 Universal Print, check what each printer supports, and scan your network for printers. Print queues spread work across the printers in each queue and step around a printer that is failing.

Oracle EBS Printers Kept in Step

Keeping Oracle EBS printer definitions matched to your real printers is a recurring chore. AventX keeps the printers you configure in step with Oracle EBS, so setup happens once and stays consistent.

Your Documents, at Your Own Desk

The new AventX Local Print Client gives office users of Oracle EBS and SAP HANA a way to receive their own documents that they never had before. A user signs in once and each document addressed to them arrives with a notification, opens for preview, or prints to their default printer or a printer they choose. When Oracle EBS asks for a preview, a print, or a print dialog for a particular document, the client follows that request, with the number of copies the document carries.

Labels and Reports From the Same Workstation

AventX Local Print Client prints PDF, plain text, and label and printer-language documents such as ZPL, EPL, PCL, and PostScript. Label documents reach the label printer exactly as they were sent, so warehouse and shipping teams get a label they can use rather than pages of code.

A Print Means a Print

AventX Local Print Client follows each document through the Windows print queue and tells AventX it printed only once the printer finishes it. An empty paper tray or an offline printer is treated as a wait, not a failure, and a cancelled or failed print is recorded with its reason. If a workstation restarts mid-print, the client settles what it already sent before it collects anything new, so nothing prints twice.

Reprint a Jammed Page in Seconds

AventX Local Print Client keeps a copy of each printed document on the workstation for a set number of hours. When a page jams or a label smudges, the user reprints it from the status window instead of going back to the ERP. Administrators can shorten the retention period or turn it off on shared stations.

Print Reporting

A print dashboard shows today’s volume, queue health, and printer status at a glance. Printer scan alerts flag printers that drop off the network, and print analytics show volumes, success rates, and print times by queue and printer.

Administration and Security

Sign-In and Access That Fit Your Organization

Users can sign in with Microsoft 365, with their Oracle EBS account, or with a local AventX account. Roles control which pages and data each person sees, and Microsoft 365 groups can be mapped to roles so access follows your existing directory. HTTPS keeps every connection encrypted.

Microsoft 365 Commercial and Government Cloud Support

AventX for Oracle EBS now supports authentication with both Microsoft 365 Commercial and Microsoft 365 Government Cloud tenants. Organizations that run on a government cloud tenant can use the same Microsoft 365 connection as everyone else.

A Server You Can See Into

Administrators can start and stop the service, watch live server health, view and download logs, and let AventX clean up old jobs and documents on a schedule. Licensed features are turned on from one page, with usage shown against your license.

A Rebuilt Web Client With Settings Where You Expect Them

The AventX Web Client for Oracle EBS has been rebuilt from the ground up. Attachment printing settings now sit with the rest of General Configuration, organized by category on one page, and the System Status cards lay out across the page so administrators can take in more at once. Existing links continue to work.

Run a Delivery Again Without Going Back to Oracle Cloud

Reprocess on the AventX for Oracle Cloud Delivery Status page runs a delivery again from its Oracle process ID. Once a document or business unit setting has been corrected, an administrator can redeliver straight away instead of asking the business to resubmit the process in Oracle Cloud ERP. Reprocess is limited to users with the Admin role and asks for confirmation first. Because it delivers every document again in full, it’s best used after the cause has been fixed.

Sign In Straight From Oracle EBS

AventX Local Print Client signs users in when they choose Local Print in Oracle EBS, or when they sign in to AventX in the browser, so most users never type a password into it. An idle lock hides documents on a workstation that’s been left alone. Each user collects documents in one place at a time, so the same documents are never collected and printed at two desks.

Deploy Across Your Fleet With Microsoft Intune

AventX Local Print Client ships as a signed Windows installer, and a package ready for Microsoft Intune can be supplied. One install command sets the mode, the AventX address, and the printer for a whole group of workstations. Upgrades install in place and keep every station’s settings, and a single diagnostics file gives support everything it needs when something goes wrong.

AventX Mobile: Working Offline

Pending Work Sent the Moment You Reconnect

Completed field work shouldn’t sit on a device waiting for a timer. AventX Mobile now sends pending actions, such as completing a work order, charging time, loading meter readings, or submitting a work request or express work order, as soon as it can reach the server: at sign-in, on reconnect, or when the app returns to the foreground. The sync interval setting now controls retries only, so completed work reaches Oracle EBS sooner.

No More Lost Submissions

A connection that dropped in the middle of a submission used to mean entering the work again. Upload, Complete, and Work Request actions interrupted this way are now saved to the pending queue automatically and sent on the next sync, so nothing has to be entered twice.

Uncertain Actions Are Checked, Not Resent

If the app is closed or stops responding while an action is being sent, it can’t always tell whether the action reached the server. Rather than resend it and risk a duplicate time charge or completion in Oracle EBS, AventX Mobile marks the action Check Needed and explains what happened. The technician can confirm in Oracle EBS, then retry or dismiss the action, which keeps labor and completion records accurate for audits.

Retry or Dismiss Failed Actions

Technicians can now recover failed actions on their own. A long press on any failed or Check Needed action on the Pending Actions screen lets them retry or dismiss it, and each failure shows its reason, down to which meter readings were rejected and why. That means less re-entered data and fewer calls to the help desk.

A Status Bar That Speaks Up Only When It Matters

The status bar at the bottom of the app shows the next sync time only when actions are waiting to be sent. When the queue is empty, it simply shows Connected, so a countdown no longer suggests something is wrong.

AventX Mobile: Sign-In

A Single Sign-On Button You Can Count On

The Microsoft Entra ID single sign-on button is now grayed out when single sign-on isn’t set up on the server or the server can’t be reached. Technicians no longer tap a button only to get a confusing error, which helps most during onboarding and when connectivity drops.

Clear Answers When a Saved Password Is Rejected

After a password change in Oracle EBS, a saved password used to fail with what looked like a generic connection error, and repeated attempts could lock the account. Now, when the server rejects a saved password, AventX Mobile says so plainly, forgets the old password, and stops trying to reconnect with it. Offline sign-in with that password is also blocked until the technician signs in online with current credentials.

AventX 26.3.00 gives your team one place to send, print, and track the documents your business depends on, and one product for your administrators to run. Your existing Oracle Self-Service printing pages continue to work unchanged alongside the new Work Order Print page, and for AventX Print Agent customers, AventX Local Print Client is the natural next step: your stations keep printing as they do today, and your office users gain a direct line to their own documents.

The AventX 26.1 and 26.2 releases deliver a significant leap in operational efficiency and platform modernization across the entire AventX product line. This update focuses on eliminating friction for both end-users and administrators through seamless single sign-on between Oracle EBS and AventX, self-healing integrations for Oracle Cloud ERP, and automated retrieval of external attachments for SAP HANA. These releases ensure long-term supportability and security while providing the high-performance throughput required by global enterprises.

As organizations continue to scale their document delivery and maintenance workflows, AventX 26.2 introduces intelligent automation to reduce manual intervention and prevent system downtime. From a new rate-limit manager that protects Oracle Cloud API capacity to automated print server recovery for JD Edwards and centralized visibility for remote Windows printing, this release empowers IT and operations teams to manage complex, distributed environments with confidence. Whether archiving critical documents via the new Archive Device or capturing granular field data through expanded mobile extraction, AventX 26.2 provides the tools to maintain total control over the document lifecycle.

Document Delivery, Archiving & Viewing Enhancements

One Screen for Every Document You Send

AventX replaces a patchwork of separate status tools with a single, unified view of every job it processes: print, email, fax, and archive alike. From one view, teams can filter by status, device, job type, date range, or nearly any ERP field; save those views as named queries for reuse; and export any result set to CSV. Bulk actions let operators retry, cancel, release held jobs, or delete across many rows at once, and every job opens to a full delivery record, including the attachment list, the delivery timeline, and a built-in viewer to open, download, or reprint the original file. The result is a single answer to the question every operations team asks: did that document go out?

Enterprise Document Archiving and Report Viewing

Archiving is now a first-class delivery channel, routed exactly like print or email through a standard delivery directive, with no changes to your ERP configuration. Beyond moving files to a destination, AventX lets teams open, preview, download, and reprint any archived document directly from its job record, turning the archive into a working report-viewing utility rather than a folder no one visits. Every archived document is tracked with its own job ID and full status history, encrypted at rest, and governed by a per-device retention policy you set to match your compliance requirements, from days to a decade. Role-based data filters ensure departments such as Finance or Procurement see only their own documents, without direct access to the ERP filesystem or custom retrieval scripts. Documents can be retained securely inside AventX or transferred to FTP, SFTP, SCP, or a network folder, and any failed external transfer is fully retryable.

Complete Email Delivery Visibility: Track Every Recipient Across To, CC, and even BCC

AventX now offers full per-recipient email delivery tracking for email messages. Previously, delivery status was reported only for the primary (first) email address on an outgoing message, leaving administrators and users without visibility into whether other recipients actually received their documents. A new reporting interface within AventX displays the delivery outcome for each recipient, including individual delivery status, timestamped delivery events, and error details.

Expanded High-Efficiency Image Support

AventX Translation Server now supports translating HEIC image files, including tiled formats. With the addition of 20 new file and image formats, the server ensures that modern mobile-captured photos and specialized technical diagrams are seamlessly converted into professional PDF documents for delivery.

Configurable Delivery Filename Sanitization

Special characters in delivery filenames, such as double quotes, are now automatically replaced with safe equivalents before being sent downstream. Administrators can customize these character substitutions via environment variables, preventing failures in external storage systems or network shares that enforce strict filename restrictions.

Automated Oracle Cloud Integration Management

Managing Oracle BI Publisher (BIP) artifacts is now a self-healing process, significantly reducing the administrative burden on IT teams. AventX for Oracle Cloud automatically deploys and verifies the required data models and reports upon startup, ensuring the integration is always up to date. If an artifact is accidentally modified or deleted, the system detects the discrepancy and redeploys it immediately, preventing silent processing failures and ensuring continuous document delivery.

One Connector, Built for S/4HANA On-Prem and in the Cloud

AventX for SAP HANA connects to S/4HANA through standard OData services rather than legacy RFC plumbing, so it runs the same way regardless of whether your SAP system is on-premises, in a private cloud, or in a public cloud. It reads spool output, then enriches each document with live SAP data (billing details, maintenance order context, and Business Partner records) before delivery. For teams modernizing off older fax connectors, this means document delivery that keeps pace with your S/4HANA roadmap, rather than anchoring you to end-of-life technology.

​ Availability: AventX for SAP HANA

Print, Email, Archive, and Fax From a Single SAP Connector

Where earlier SAP connectors handled fax alone, AventX for SAP HANA routes every document to the right channel from one place: direct network printing through CUPS, Email-To-Print, standard email, and long-term archiving, with fax, secure portal, and eSignature delivery handed off automatically for delivery. One document can even fan out to several destinations at once, printing locally while emailing a copy. Consolidating delivery this way reduces the number of moving parts your team maintains and gives every SAP output a single, governed path to its recipient.

​ Availability: AventX for SAP HANA

Recipients Resolved Straight From SAP Master Data

AventX for SAP HANA derives a document’s To, CC, and BCC recipients directly from the SAP Business Partner record, using the partner ID carried on the document itself. There is no separate recipient list to maintain and no hardcoded addresses to keep in sync, so a change made once in SAP flows through to delivery automatically. Documents reach the correct contacts based on the same master data your business already trusts.

​ Availability: AventX for SAP HANA

A Compliant Archive for Every Document You Send

AventX for SAP HANA can archive delivered documents as a first-class delivery channel, with every file encrypted at rest and governed by a retention policy you set to match your compliance requirements. A complete audit log tracks each document through to purge, giving Finance and compliance teams a defensible record without custom scripts or direct filesystem access. The archive becomes a governed system of record rather than a folder no one maintains.

​ Availability: AventX for SAP HANA

Review Before You Send: Manager-Controlled Release for Invoices and Work Orders

Not every document should go out the instant SAP prints it. AventX for SAP HANA can stage Billing Documents and eAM Work Orders for a manager to preview the fully assembled packet, adjust attachments, and release individually or in bulk. Invoices get a review step before they reach a customer, and maintenance planners confirm the right documentation before it hits the shop floor. The result is fewer costly corrections and tighter control over high-stakes output, without slowing down the fully automated documents that do not need a second look.

​Availability: AventX for SAP HANA

Dynamic URL-Based Attachment Retrieval: Every Supporting Document, Pulled In Automatically

AventX for SAP HANA gathers a document’s supporting files without anyone attaching them by hand, whether they reside within SAP as GOS or Document Info Record files, or outside SAP on SharePoint, OneDrive, or an internal file server. By connecting directly to sources like Microsoft Graph, it always pulls the current version of the terms, technical spec, or drawing and merges it into the final packet. This removes a manual, error-prone step from every release and closes the gap where an outdated or forgotten attachment used to slip through

​ Availability: AventX for SAP HANA

Email Recipients Visible in Job Detail

The web console job detail view now displays the exact list of recipients for any document delivered via email. This improvement eliminates the need for staff to search through log files to confirm delivery, providing immediate visibility into who received a document directly from the job status screen.

​ Availability: AventX for JD Edwards

Printing Enhancements

A Unified Master Printer Registry — Manage Every Printer in One Place

AventX centralizes every printer your organization delivers to (CUPS, direct-IP [Direct Print], and Microsoft 365 Universal Print) in a single master registry, eliminating the routine of logging into Oracle EBS, then CUPS, then a printer’s IP address just to resolve a single configuration issue. Printers can be imported in bulk from CUPS servers, CSV files, or directly from Oracle EBS, then staged and committed back to one or more EBS environments with a safe, reviewable, two-step workflow. A Verify step reads a printer’s live capabilities (duplex, resolution, make and model, and finishing options such as stapling and hole-punching) and automatically applies them to the configuration, so complex finishing is available to end users without manual setup. Administrators can push a change across hundreds of printers in a single bulk update and create print queues directly from the registry, dramatically reducing the time DBAs, Linux administrators, and system administrators spend on printer management.

Availability: AventX for Oracle EBS, AventX for Oracle eAM

Proactive Printer Health Monitoring

IT teams can move from reactive troubleshooting to proactive fleet management. AventX runs scheduled and on-demand connectivity checks that verify each printer’s DNS resolution and TCP port reachability and surfaces the results on a fleet dashboard and a dedicated Printer Scan Alerts view showing 30 days of failure history. When a monitored printer fails repeatedly, AventX can automatically disable it in before jobs pile up behind a device no one knows is down and re-enable it automatically once it recovers, all governed by thresholds you control. The outcome is fewer help desk tickets and confidence that critical documents are sent only to healthy, reachable devices.

​Availability: AventX for Oracle EBS, AventX for Oracle eAM, AventX for Oracle Cloud ERP, AventX for Oracle Cloud Maintenance

Intelligent Print Queue Reliability and Circuit Breaking

High-volume print environments are protected by an automatic circuit breaker that pauses dispatch when a printer becomes consistently unavailable, preventing the system from flooding a broken device with thousands of failed attempts. Jobs are held safely until the printer recovers, and administrators keep full control: pausing or resuming queues, resetting a tripped breaker after a fix, setting per-job retry limits, and pooling multiple printers behind one queue for automatic failover. Configurable retry backoff, per-queue rate limiting, and live per-queue job counts round out a dispatch layer built for production uptime.

Professional Finishing for Printing

Users can print and deliver polished Oracle output. Because AventX reads each printer’s live finishing capabilities, users can apply options like stapling and duplexing to individual report outputs, verified against what the device actually supports, so jobs don’t fail on unsupported settings.

Work Order Management & Completion Improvements

Work Packets, Every Attachment, Straight From SAP

Maintenance teams lose real time when a printed SAP Work Order lands on the floor without the drawings, safety data sheets, and manuals a technician actually needs to finish the job. AventX closes that gap by assembling the standard S/4HANA Work Order and its linked attachments, whether they live in SAP through Generic Object Services and Document Info Records or in an external system like SharePoint, into a single, production-ready packet. Planners can let high-volume work print automatically, or hold orders for review to preview the full packet and choose which attachments go out before release. The payoff is fewer incomplete job packets, less rework and safety exposure in the field, and a governed document printing process that keeps SAP as the system of record.

​Availability: AventX for SAP HANA

Per-Operation Attachment Visibility for Maintenance Orders

Maintenance work orders often carry documentation tied to specific operations, not just the order as a whole. AventX for SAP HANA groups attachments by individual work step when a maintenance order is released, so the safety instructions, diagrams, and parts lists for each task travel with that task. Planners and technicians can see exactly what belongs where, which cuts the risk of a crew reaching the field without the one document a job actually requires.

​Availability: AventX for SAP HANA

Automated Print Server Recovery

To minimize downtime in high-volume printing environments, AventX for JD Edwards now features configurable retry behavior for transient print server errors. If a printer becomes briefly unavailable, the system will automatically attempt to recover the job, reducing the need for IT support tickets and ensuring critical business documents reach their destination.

Availability: AventX for JD Edwards

User Experience & Security Enhancements

Seamless ERP-to-Queue Single Sign-On

AventX removes login friction for Oracle EBS users through a secure, single-use handshake between the ERP and AventX. With a single click, users move from EBS into AventX management screens without a second login prompt. If the account is new, AventX provisions it automatically on first sign-in and assigns the appropriate role. Print operators and clerks stay in their workflow instead of managing a separate set of credentials.

​ Availability: AventX for Oracle EBS, AventX for Oracle eAM

AventX Queue Deep Link from Delivery Status

The Delivery Status screen now features a Manage Documents button that opens the corresponding job directly within AventX Queue. This deep integration allows operators to investigate, view, or re-queue specific documents instantly without manually searching for the record in a separate application.

​ Availability: AventX for Oracle Cloud ERP, AventX for Oracle Cloud Maintenance

Role-Based Document Access and Custom Filtering

Security and day-to-day efficiency both improve with a fully configurable, UI-built role system. Administrators create custom roles, grant page-level access, and apply data filters to limit which jobs each role can see, based on owner, document type, ERP system, org, destination, or status. A powerful shortcut lets a filter automatically match the signed-in user, so a role such as Receivables Manager shows each user only their own documents, with no hard-coded values. Separately, any user can build and save their own working views on the delivery grid (for example, isolating electrical, mechanical, or vehicle work orders) using saved queries that streamline high-volume tasks for planners and schedulers.

Sign In with Microsoft — No Separate Passwords to Manage

AventX integrates with Microsoft Entra ID, so staff sign in with their existing Microsoft 365 credentials. Roles are automatically resolved from group memberships at login, eliminating manual role assignment after the initial mapping. Both Commercial and GCC (US Government) tenants are supported.

​Availability: AventX for Oracle EBS, AventX for Oracle eAM

Enterprise-Grade Encryption and Audit

Every document AventX stores is encrypted at rest, and each file carries a complete read/write/delete audit log through to purge. Combined with per-device retention policies, this gives Finance, compliance, and shared-services teams the delivery assurance and defensibility they need for invoices, remittances, and regulatory documents.

Oracle Cloud API Rate-Limit Protection

For Oracle Cloud environments, AventX includes a rate-limit manager that intelligently throttles requests to Oracle Cloud APIs. It prioritizes live document deliveries over background tasks and pauses intake automatically when Oracle Cloud reaches capacity, preventing burst failures and giving operators clear visibility into system pressure during peak periods.

A Browser-Based Command Center With Enterprise Access Control

Administrators and managers work entirely from a secure web console, signing in with existing Microsoft 365 credentials through Entra ID single sign-on rather than a shared connector account. Role-based permissions scope what each person sees down to the organization and document type, and a searchable Delivery Status view records every job that was printed, emailed, or handed off, complete with per-recipient outcomes and CSV export. Finance, compliance, and shared-services teams finally get a defensible answer to the question that follows every document: did it go out, and to whom?

Improved Job Download Visibility

In multi-server environments, the Download Job File button is now always visible but intelligently disabled with a descriptive tooltip when a file is unavailable. This provides operators with clear, actionable information regarding why a job cannot be downloaded, rather than leaving them with an absent option.

Enhanced Web Client Security and Reliability

The AventX for JDE Web Client has been fortified with tightened API authorization and automated configuration backups. Administrators are now prompted to restart services when changes require it, ensuring that system updates are applied correctly and securely while protecting the integrity of the underlying configuration.

Availability: AventX for JD Edwards

Every generation of AventX has reflected what enterprise document delivery required at the time. The platform has grown continuously, adding delivery channels, expanding ERP depth, and responding to the evolving needs of Oracle EBS and eAM (and other ERP systems) environments across industries.

Continuous innovation requires the right foundation underneath it. Over time, we decided to modernize AventX. Not because the existing platform failed to serve customers, but because a modern foundation allows us to deliver new value faster, more reliably, and to a broader set of customers than before.

Development cycles should have been faster. Upgrades complex enough that teams delayed them. Enhancement requests that deserved a quicker answer than the architecture allowed. Multi-component installs that required specialist knowledge to manage. These were not failures of intent; they were the natural consequence of building on a foundation that had reached the limits of what it could support.

The decision was a natural progression, an investment in the platform’s ability to serve customers better and move faster. It was made because forty years of customer knowledge, ERP expertise, and document delivery depth deserved a foundation capable of putting all of it to work…faster, more reliably, and for a broader set of customers than ever before.

The result is a single, unified application for print and document delivery. Not a collection of components. Not a stack that requires a specialist to install and maintain. One application, deployable on Linux, Windows, or Docker, with a guided install on every platform.

For teams that have managed legacy AventX environments and the operational complexity that came with them, that is a meaningful change in itself. Here is what else it delivers.

The multi-component model is gone, or going away, wherever possible. In some cases, it cannot be avoided. The new AventX is designed to be a single service for managing your output (print and delivery). Upgrades preserve your configuration. The operational burden that used to be part of the installation and maintenance process has been treated as a design problem rather than an acceptable cost of running enterprise software. An IT administrator who has never worked with AventX before can install, configure, and own it without a specialist in the room.

Every document that enters AventX now has a job ID. Every step—received, queued, processing, delivered, failed—is visible in a browser-based interface without touching a log file or accessing the server directly.

Print jobs, email delivery, fax. All of it tracked, auditable, and accessible from any machine.

For a finance or procurement team, the answer to “did that purchase order go out?” is no longer a thirty-minute investigation. For an Oracle eAM maintenance team, print failures surface to IT before a technician discovers them at the start of a shift, wrench time is protected before the first job of the day begins.

Printer health is monitored automatically on a configurable schedule. When a printer fails repeatedly, AventX disables it before jobs pile up. When it recovers, AventX re-enables it. The help desk call that starts with “my document never printed” becomes something IT can get ahead of rather than respond to.

The proprietary database is replaced with modern, open components. Development cycles are faster. When a customer calls with an enhancement request today, the conversation about cost and timeline has a different character than it used to. The work that was previously constrained by architectural debt is, in many cases, simply faster to deliver now.

The new AventX platform is still maturing and has meaningful work ahead, but the ceiling is gone. That changes what is possible, and how quickly it can reach customers.

The new AventX is ERP-agnostic by design. Oracle EBS and eAM are the core; that is where forty years of STR Software’s depth lives and where the platform is most mature today. But the architecture is built to ingest documents from any direction: REST API, directory scan, SMTP listener. The underlying queue does not care which ERP sits behind it, the connector is what bridges the two.

For customers already running AventX with connectors for Oracle Cloud, SAP, JDE, SunGard, or custom ERP environments, this new foundation serves you the same way it serves EBS environments. The visibility, the simplified install, the modern delivery pipeline. Very little of it is EBS-exclusive.

For teams on those platforms who have assumed STR Software was an Oracle EBS-only solution, it is worth a second look.

Oracle Cloud, SAP S4/HANA, JDE, and SunGard are on the roadmap with intent. If document delivery is a friction point in your environment, the conversation is worth having.

If you are running AventX today, the question forming as you read this is a fair one: What does this mean for my environment, and what am I being asked to do?

The answer is straightforward. Your current environment continues to work. The path forward is a conversation. STR Software works with you to understand your environment and your specific requirements, advances the platform to meet them if needed, and supports your transition when it is ready on your terms.

For most Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) users, the ERP is the absolute Source of Truth. It is where your data lives, where your workflows are defined, and where your business logic is enforced. But for Contract Administrators, that truth often hits a brick wall the moment a document needs a legal signature.

As a Contracts Workbench Administrator, you are likely all too familiar with the administrative shuffle of getting a contract signed. After you finalize a contract in Oracle EBS, the real work begins: manually downloading attachments, merging files, uploading them to a signing portal like DocuSign, and then spending days tracking who has signed what; not to mention the fact that the final isn’t always final.

When mission-critical documents live in Oracle but need to be signed electronically, the manual gap between these systems becomes a significant hurdle. AventX for Oracle EBS breaks these integration silos, providing a centralized, “full-circle” solution for managing and tracking contracts directly within your ERP.

The Challenges for Contract Administrators

The complexity of business deliverables has reached a new peak. A contract is rarely just a single document anymore; it is a packet of information that must be perfectly synchronized amongst all parties and applications. This manifests as the administrative shuffle:

• Attachment Silos: Contracts typically require supporting documents: Terms and Conditions, technical drawings, or certificates of analysis, and more that live in diverse locations like the EBS database (BLOBs), SharePoint Online, or local network folders.
• The Signature Black Hole: The moment you email a contract using native EBS functionality, you lose all visibility. Senders have no way of knowing if the email reached the recipient, let alone if it has been opened or signed, without manually checking external platforms.
• Compliance & Security Risks: If the final signed document is not manually attached to the original EBS record, your audit trail is broken. Furthermore, manual workflows are prone to spoofing and fraud without digital certificate signatures to guarantee the PDF’s integrity.

Why AventX is a Game-Changer for Contract Teams

AventX acts as an embedded delivery engine that fills the gaps that native Oracle functionality cannot address. By adding the AventX eSignature Module, you connect Oracle EBS directly to Docusign.

Zero Manual File Handling

Manual attachment management is one of the most significant pain points for contract teams. AventX automatically retrieves every attachment linked to a contract, including the primary agreement, supporting images, and legal addenda…regardless of whether they are stored as database files (BLOBs) or referenced via web URLs (e.g., SharePoint). It then merges these files into a single, professional PDF package ready for signature.

Closing the Loop Automatically

The manual work usually continues after a contract is signed, but not with AventX. Once the customer signs and the envelope is complete, AventX finishes the job:

• Automated Archiving: The final signed PDF is moved to a secure SharePoint Online library, a network folder, or an Oracle BLOB attachment.
• Instant Link-Back to Oracle: AventX inserts a direct link to the file (SharePoint, Network Drive) or the BLOB attachment to the Oracle Contract Header as a new attachment, maintaining EBS as your single source of truth.
• Real-Time Status Tracking: Monitor signature progress via the AventX Delivery Status Form in Oracle, eliminating the need to log in to external portals.

How it Works: A 60-Second User Flow

From the Contracts Workbench Administrator responsibility, the process is as simple as submitting a standard Oracle request:

• Navigate to Submit Request > Submit a New Request;
• Select the XXSTR Contract Print concurrent program;
• Enter your Contract Number and Contract Type; and
• Click Submit.

AventX takes it from there: extracting files, placing signature tags, routing the packet to the customer, and archiving the final signed result back into Oracle EBS.

Reclaim Your Contract Lifecycle

By automating the middle-man tasks, AventX allows your team to focus on managing agreements rather than managing files. Companies like Mutual Materials and TMEIC have used AventX to scale their delivery volumes and ensure secure, contractual communication without adding headcount.

Stop the administrative shuffle and ensure your Oracle EBS Contracts flow remains clean, efficient, and, most importantly, the complete record of your business agreements.

The Oracle EBS challenge: modern collaboration without compromising security

Oracle EBS remains a mission-critical system for finance, procurement, manufacturing, and asset management. At the same time, many organizations are under pressure to modernize how documents tied to EBS transactions are stored and shared.

Over time, attachments stored as database BLOBs create predictable problems:

• Oracle database growth that increases infrastructure, backup, and recovery costs
• Performance degradation as attachment volumes increase
• Limited document governance compared to modern collaboration platforms
• Difficulty meeting audit, retention, and accessibility expectations

For these reasons, many Oracle EBS organizations migrate attachments from the database to SharePoint Online. SharePoint improves collaboration, search, retention, and accessibility. However, this shift introduces a second challenge that is often underestimated.

What changes when Oracle EBS attachments move to SharePoint

When documents live inside Oracle EBS, access is implicitly controlled by the application. Once those documents are moved to SharePoint, access is governed by Microsoft Entra ID and group membership.

This creates a critical question for Oracle EBS teams:

How do we ensure SharePoint access reflects Oracle EBS user roles and responsibilities without introducing security risk?

Manual access management does not scale. Fully automated access changes can create concerns for security, audit, and compliance teams. Oracle EBS environments often require explicit oversight due to their support for regulated and financially sensitive workflows.

In this use case, Oracle EBS organizations aim to

• Reduce Oracle database growth by moving attachments to SharePoint
• Use Oracle EBS as the source of truth for document access decisions
• Align SharePoint library access with EBS responsibilities
• Maintain visibility and oversight of access changes

This is where AventX A2A fits.

Using Oracle EBS as the source of truth for SharePoint access

Oracle EBS already contains the logic that defines who should have access to documents. Responsibilities, roles, and user assignments reflect business rules that have evolved over time.

AventX A2A allows organizations to leverage that logic by syncing Oracle EBS query results with Microsoft Entra ID group membership. These groups are then used to control access to SharePoint document libraries that store Oracle EBS attachments.

This approach ensures:

• SharePoint access aligns with Oracle EBS responsibilities
• Changes in Oracle EBS users are reflected in document access
• IT avoids duplicating entitlement logic across systems

Balancing automation with governance

Many Oracle EBS organizations support automation, but still require governance. Security and audit teams often need clear visibility into:

• Who is being added or removed from access groups
• Why are those changes occurring
• Evidence that access decisions were reviewed

Instead of blindly enforcing changes, AventX A2A supports a governance-friendly workflow by generating email summaries of proposed Entra ID group changes based on Oracle EBS query results.

This allows teams to review recommended additions and removals before updates are applied, supporting separation of duties and audit requirements.

Why this matters after migrating Oracle EBS attachments

Once Oracle EBS attachments are moved to SharePoint, SharePoint becomes the system of engagement for documents.

Entra ID groups become the enforcement layer for access.

Without alignment between Oracle EBS users and Entra ID groups, organizations risk:

• Overexposing sensitive financial or operational documents
• Granting access based on outdated assumptions
• Failing audits due to unclear access change history

By combining attachment migration with Oracle EBS-driven group governance, organizations modernize document storage without creating new security gaps.

A practical Oracle EBS use case in action

A common scenario looks like this:

1. Oracle EBS attachments are migrated to SharePoint to reduce the database size
2. SharePoint document libraries are secured using Entra ID groups
3. Oracle EBS queries define group membership based on responsibilities
4. AventX A2A produces a clear summary of proposed access changes
5. Teams review and apply updates in line with internal security policies

While AventX A2A supports automated Entra ID changes, this user-based approach allows organizations to modernize document management while retaining confidence in access controls.

Who benefits most from this approach?

This use case is especially relevant for Oracle EBS organizations with:

• Finance, procurement, or HR data subject to audit controls
• SOX, ISO, or regulatory compliance requirements
• A need to reduce Oracle database growth without increasing access risk
• Security teams that require visibility into entitlement changes

It is also well-suited for organizations that want to move toward automation gradually, starting with review and validation before full enforcement.

Outcomes for Oracle EBS organizations

By aligning Oracle EBS user logic with SharePoint access governance, organizations achieve:

• Reduced Oracle database size and improved performance
• Better document usability and collaboration in SharePoint
• Consistent access control driven by Oracle EBS data
• Improved audit readiness and security oversight

Modernizing Oracle EBS document management is no longer optional, but neither is security. Moving attachments to SharePoint delivers real benefits only when access is governed with the same rigor as the ERP itself.

This use case shows how Oracle EBS organizations can reduce database growth, modernize document storage, and maintain strong access controls by aligning Oracle EBS user logic with Entra ID group governance.

Organizations that migrate attachments out of the Oracle database consistently see meaningful infrastructure and performance improvements. One real-world example of Oracle database reduction shows how a global manufacturer reduced database growth by moving Oracle EBS attachments to SharePoint.

If your Oracle EBS environment is growing due to attachments and your security team needs confidence in SharePoint access controls, this approach provides a practical path forward.

The AventX v24.5 release delivers targeted enhancements that strengthen governance, improve print performance, and expand integration flexibility across Oracle EBS, Oracle eAM, and AventX A2A. This update focuses on giving IT and operations teams greater visibility into identity management changes, higher throughput and reliability in enterprise printing environments, and more modern attachment handling through APIs. With v24.5, AventX continues to optimize core infrastructure while aligning with long term platform requirements and evolving security best practices.

As organizations look to modernize Oracle document delivery, printing, and integration workflows, AventX v24.5 introduces practical improvements that reduce risk, increase scalability, and support hybrid environments. From human review-based Entra ID group change notifications to load-balanced local printing and expanded API attachment options, this release helps teams maintain control while moving faster with confidence.

AventX Mobile now supports reconciliation code entry during work order completion, with configurable code lists by Operating Unit or Plant.

This enhancement allows organizations to:

• Standardize work order completion outcomes without Oracle customization
• Display only relevant reconciliation codes to technicians
• Support complex and straightforward preventive maintenance processes
• Improve reporting consistency across multi-site operations

The result is cleaner data in Oracle eAM and fewer follow-ups to clarify how work was completed.

Faster Work Order Navigation in Large Plants

Department Based Work Order Filtering

Expansive facilities and multi-org maintenance teams often manage hundreds or thousands of active work orders. Scrolling through long lists on a mobile device wastes valuable technician time.

With v25.3, technicians can filter work orders by Asset Owning Department, allowing them to focus on the work relevant to their current area or assignment.

This is especially valuable for:

• Plant-wide maintenance organizations
• Reliability-centered maintenance teams
• Facilities with shared maintenance resources

Finding the right work order now takes seconds instead of minutes.

Technicians can:

• Plan work before entering low connectivity areas
• Prioritize offline-ready tasks
• Avoid opening work orders that are not stored locally

A new Show Downloaded Only filter makes offline planning faster and more intuitive.

Multi Select and Batch Actions

Managing high volumes of work orders on a mobile device can be time-consuming. AventX Mobile now supports multi-select with batch actions, so users can:

• Download multiple work orders at once
• Remove completed or unnecessary work orders
• Reduce repetitive list management tasks

These usability improvements drive meaningful productivity gains across every shift.

Smarter Filtering and Improved Visibility

Additional enhancements in v25.3.x include:

• Work order creation dates are visible in the list view to help prioritize aging tasks
• A Cancel button in the filter screen to exit without triggering unnecessary refreshes

Together, these updates reduce wait times, frustration, and wasted motion in the mobile app.

Why Printing Gets Complicated in an OCI Migration

Migrating Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) from on-premises servers to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is a big move. It promises better scalability, cost savings, and performance — but for many organizations, one hidden obstacle turns into a recurring nightmare: printing.

On-prem, EBS printing worked (mostly) because applications and printers lived on the same network. Once you move to OCI, that direct access is gone. Suddenly, your business-critical reports, invoices, and shop-floor pick lists are stuck behind VPN tunnels, redundant configurations, and printers that just won’t respond.

If you’re planning or already in the middle of an OCI migration, you’ve probably heard this from your IT team: “Printing is harder in the cloud than we expected.” And they’re right — unless you have a modern solution.

The 7 Biggest Printing Pain Points in OCI Migration

1. Loss of Local Network Printer Access

On-prem, Oracle EBS could directly talk to printers via CUPS or Windows Print Servers. In OCI, EBS runs in the cloud with no direct LAN access. Printers in warehouses, plants, and offices now require VPNs, firewall rules, or complex routing to be reachable — introducing latency and new points of failure.

2. Complex, Redundant Printer Configuration

Traditionally, each printer had to be configured in three separate places:

• Windows print server (drivers, queues)
• Linux/UNIX CUPS server
• Oracle EBS printer registration

Migrating to OCI often means repeating this process for hundreds of printers. It’s tedious, error-prone, and burns valuable IT cycles that should be spent on higher-value migration tasks.

3. VPN and Connectivity Overhead

Without direct LAN access, companies often build VPN tunnels between OCI and branch offices. Each tunnel adds overhead: more infrastructure to manage, slower print jobs, and a higher risk of downtime if a tunnel goes down. Printing simple documents shouldn’t depend on fragile network links — yet this is the reality for many post-migration teams.

4. Print Job Visibility and Troubleshooting Gaps

Native EBS printing offers little feedback. Users hit “print” and hope for the best. When jobs go missing — whether due to jams, offline printers, or driver issues — IT teams have almost no visibility into what happened. OCI only amplifies this problem, since the application is now further removed from the physical devices.

5. Performance Bottlenecks

Printing high-volume reports (purchase orders, invoices, pick lists) across a WAN or VPN connection can turn a 5-minute batch into a multi-hour slog. Latency and bandwidth limitations create bottlenecks that frustrate users and threaten business operations.

6. Legacy Dependencies

Many organizations still rely on Oracle PASTA and Ghostscript for text or PostScript conversion. Redeploying and tuning these tools in OCI adds more complexity, especially if older scripts or custom drivers don’t migrate cleanly.

7. Lack of Cloud-Native Printer Integration

OCI doesn’t come with a built-in print management layer. Customers are left dragging old CUPS servers into the cloud or cobbling together hybrid setups. Without a modern solution, leveraging cloud-native tools such as Microsoft 365 Universal Print is nearly impossible.

In short: When EBS moves to OCI, many EBS organizations run into obstacles with network reachability, duplicate setup, poor visibility, and performance bottlenecks.

How AventX Simplifies Printing in OCI

This is where AventX for Oracle EBS Print Module comes in. AventX removes the complexity of legacy setups and gives organizations multiple flexible ways to print from EBS — without relying on CUPS or fragile VPN configurations.

1. Direct Printing: Bypassing CUPS and Windows

With Direct Printing, AventX submits print jobs from Oracle EBS straight to any network printer using raw IP/DNS connections. No CUPS, no Windows print servers.

• Why it matters in OCI:
  • Eliminates redundant printer setup.
  • Reduces dependencies on local drivers and legacy tools.
  • Supports high-volume and label/barcode printing.
  • Simplifies migration by configuring printers once in AventX.

2. Local Print for Remote & Hybrid Users

For remote employees or hybrid environments, AventX offers Local Print Clients for Windows and Mac.

• Options include:
  • Local Preview (view before printing)
  • Local Print To (choose printer from a list)
  • Local Print (send directly to default printer)
• Why it matters in OCI:
  • Eliminates VPN dependencies.
  • Keeps printing simple for users at home or in remote sites.

3. Windows Print with True Print Status

If your business is keeping Windows print servers, AventX integrates with them and adds something powerful: True Print Status.

• Why it matters in OCI:
  • Users and IT can see whether a job is queued, printed, or failed — with details like “Paper Out” or “Printer Offline.” No more mystery print failures.

4. Cloud Printing with M365 Universal Print

For cloud-first organizations, AventX integrates Oracle EBS directly with Microsoft 365 Universal Print.

• Why it matters in OCI:
  • No VPN tunnels needed.
  • Centralized cloud print management.
  • Works seamlessly across distributed workforces.

This is how organizations can finally make EBS printing cloud-native.

5. CUPS (Still Supported, But Simplified)

For customers not ready to let go of CUPS, AventX still supports it — but wraps it in a simplified management layer that cuts down on manual effort.

AventX Printing Options: Flexibility Built for OCI

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do I still need CUPS in OCI?
A: Not with AventX. Direct Printing and M365 Universal Print eliminate the need for CUPS entirely.

Q: Can AventX support a hybrid setup (some on-prem, some OCI)?
A: Yes. Many organizations run AventX in hybrid mode during phased migrations.

Q: Does AventX improve visibility into print jobs?
A: Yes. Features like True Print Status give IT and end-users real-time visibility into where a job is in the process.

Q: What if my reports include attachments?
A: AventX can gather and attach documents automatically, so attachments aren’t lost in migration.

OCI Migration Printing Checklist

Here’s a practical checklist to help ensure printing doesn’t derail your OCI migration:

• Inventory all printers and group them by location and type.
• Map each printer to the appropriate AventX method (Direct, Local, Windows, M365).
• Configure printers centrally in AventX before migration cut-over.
• Test high-volume jobs (invoices, POs, pick lists) in a staging OCI environment.
• Train users on Local Preview and Reprint options.
• Decommission CUPS or redundant Windows servers post-migration.

Printing Doesn’t Have to Be the Pain Point

Printing may be one of the hardest challenges in an OCI migration — but it doesn’t have to be. AventX eliminates redundant setup, bypasses VPN headaches, integrates with cloud-native printing, and gives IT teams the visibility they’ve always wanted.

If you’re planning to move Oracle EBS to OCI, don’t let printing slow you down.
