				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h4>One Screen for Every Document You Send</h4>
<p>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: <em>did that document go out?</em></p>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h4>Enterprise Document Archiving and Report Viewing</h4>
<p>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.</p>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h4>Complete Email Delivery Visibility: Track Every Recipient Across To, CC, and even BCC</h4>
<p>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.</p>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h4>Expanded High-Efficiency Image Support</h4>
<p>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.</p>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h4>Automated Oracle Cloud Integration Management</h4>
<p>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.</p>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h4>Dynamic URL-Based Attachment Retrieval</h4>
<p>AventX now streamlines document delivery by automatically fetching attachments hosted on external platforms, including SharePoint, OneDrive, and internal file servers. This eliminates the need for users to manually attach supporting documentation before releasing a document from the ERP. By integrating directly with sources like Microsoft Graph, the system ensures that the most current versions of technical specs, terms and conditions, or drawings are always included in the final delivery packet.</p>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h4>A Unified Master Printer Registry — Manage Every Printer in One Place</h4>
<p>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&#8217;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 <strong>Verify</strong> step reads a printer&#8217;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.</p>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h4>Proactive Printer Health Monitoring</h4>
<p>IT teams can move from reactive troubleshooting to proactive fleet management. AventX runs scheduled and on-demand connectivity checks that verify each printer&#8217;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.</p>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h4>Intelligent Print Queue Reliability and Circuit Breaking</h4>
<p>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.</p>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h4>Professional Finishing for Printing</h4>
<p>Users can print and deliver polished Oracle output. Because AventX reads each printer&#8217;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&#8217;t fail on unsupported settings. </p>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><p><strong>Per-Operation Attachment Visibility for Maintenance Orders</strong></p>
<p>Maintenance planners and technicians can now manage documentation with greater precision through operation-level attachment grouping. When releasing a maintenance order, supporting documents are organized by specific work steps rather than just at the order header. This granular visibility ensures that critical safety instructions, diagrams, or parts lists tied to individual operations are easily identified and included, reducing the risk of missing information in the field.</p>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h4>Automated Print Server Recovery</h4>
<p>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.</p>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h4>Seamless ERP-to-Queue Single Sign-On</h4>
<p>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.</p>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h4>Role-Based Document Access and Custom Filtering</h4>
<p>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.</p>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h4>Sign In with Microsoft — No Separate Passwords to Manage</h4>
<p>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.</p>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h4>Enterprise-Grade Encryption and Audit</h4>
<p>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.</p>

<p>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.</p>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>The decision was a natural progression, an investment in the platform&#8217;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&#8230;faster, more reliably, and for a broader set of customers than ever before.</p></div>

<p>For a finance or procurement team, the answer to &#8220;did that purchase order go out?&#8221; 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.</p>
<p>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 &#8220;my document never printed&#8221; becomes something IT can get ahead of rather than respond to.</p></div>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><p>For most Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) users, the ERP is the absolute <em>Source of Truth</em>. 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.</p>
<p>As a Contracts Workbench Administrator, you are likely all too familiar with the <em>administrative shuffle</em> 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&#8217;t always final.</p>
<p>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, &#8220;full-circle&#8221; solution for managing and tracking contracts directly within your ERP.</p></div>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h3>The Challenges for Contract Administrators</h3>
<p>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 <em>administrative shuffle</em>:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Attachment Silos:</strong> 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.</li>
<li><strong>The Signature Black Hole:</strong> 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.</li>
<li><strong>Compliance &amp; Security Risks:</strong> 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&#8217;s integrity.</li>
</ul></div>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h3>Why AventX is a Game-Changer for Contract Teams</h3>
<p>AventX acts as an embedded delivery engine that fills the gaps that native Oracle functionality cannot address. By adding the <a href="/business-need/electronic-signatures-docusign-adobe-sign"><strong>AventX eSignature Module</strong></a>, you connect Oracle EBS directly to Docusign.</p>
<h4>Zero Manual File Handling</h4>
<p>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&#8230;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.</div>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h4>Closing the Loop Automatically</h4>
<p>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:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Automated Archiving:</strong> The final signed PDF is moved to a secure SharePoint Online library, a network folder, or an Oracle BLOB attachment.</li>
<li><strong>Instant Link-Back to Oracle:</strong> 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.</li>
<li><strong>Real-Time Status Tracking:</strong> Monitor signature progress via the AventX Delivery Status Form in Oracle, eliminating the need to log in to external portals.</li>

<li>Select the <strong>XXSTR Contract Print</strong> concurrent program;</li>
<li>Enter your <strong>Contract Number</strong> and <strong>Contract Type</strong>; and</li>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h2>The Oracle EBS challenge: modern collaboration without compromising security</h2>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Over time, attachments stored as database BLOBs create predictable problems:</p>
<ul>
<li>Oracle database growth that increases infrastructure, backup, and recovery costs</li>
<li>Performance degradation as attachment volumes increase</li>
<li>Limited document governance compared to modern collaboration platforms</li>
<li>Difficulty meeting audit, retention, and accessibility expectations</li>
</ul>
<p>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.</p></div>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h2>What changes when Oracle EBS attachments move to SharePoint</h2>
<p>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.</p>
<p>This creates a critical question for Oracle EBS teams:</p>
<p><strong>How do we ensure SharePoint access reflects Oracle EBS user roles and responsibilities without introducing security risk?</strong></p>
<p>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.</p></div>

<li>Use Oracle EBS as the source of truth for document access decisions</li>
<li>Align SharePoint library access with EBS responsibilities</li>
<li>Maintain visibility and oversight of access changes</li>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h2>Using Oracle EBS as the source of truth for SharePoint access</h2>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>This approach ensures:</p>
<ul>
<li>SharePoint access aligns with Oracle EBS responsibilities</li>
<li>Changes in Oracle EBS users are reflected in document access</li>
<li>IT avoids duplicating entitlement logic across systems</li>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h2>Balancing automation with governance</h2>
<p>Many Oracle EBS organizations support automation, but still require governance. Security and audit teams often need clear visibility into:</p>
<ul>
<li>Who is being added or removed from access groups</li>
<li>Why are those changes occurring</li>
<li>Evidence that access decisions were reviewed</li>
</ul>
<p>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.</p>
<p>This allows teams to review recommended additions and removals before updates are applied, supporting separation of duties and audit requirements.</p></div>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h2>Why this matters after migrating Oracle EBS attachments</h2>
<p>Once Oracle EBS attachments are moved to SharePoint, SharePoint becomes the system of engagement for documents.</p>
<p>Entra ID groups become the enforcement layer for access.</p>
<p>Without alignment between Oracle EBS users and Entra ID groups, organizations risk:</p>
<ul>
<li>Overexposing sensitive financial or operational documents</li>
<li>Granting access based on outdated assumptions</li>
<li>Failing audits due to unclear access change history</li>
</ul>
<p>By combining attachment migration with Oracle EBS-driven group governance, organizations modernize document storage without creating new security gaps.</p></div>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h2>A practical Oracle EBS use case in action</h2>
<p>A common scenario looks like this:</p>
<ol>
<li>Oracle EBS attachments are migrated to SharePoint to reduce the database size</li>
<li>SharePoint document libraries are secured using Entra ID groups</li>
<li>Oracle EBS queries define group membership based on responsibilities</li>
<li>AventX A2A produces a clear summary of proposed access changes</li>
<li>Teams review and apply updates in line with internal security policies</li>
</ol>
<p>While AventX A2A supports automated Entra ID changes, this user-based approach allows organizations to modernize document management while retaining confidence in access controls.</p></div>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h2>Who benefits most from this approach?</h2>
<p>This use case is especially relevant for Oracle EBS organizations with:</p>
<ul>
<li>Finance, procurement, or HR data subject to audit controls</li>
<li>SOX, ISO, or regulatory compliance requirements</li>
<li>A need to reduce Oracle database growth without increasing access risk</li>
<li>Security teams that require visibility into entitlement changes</li>

<p>By aligning Oracle EBS user logic with SharePoint access governance, organizations achieve:</p>
<ul>
<li>Reduced Oracle database size and improved performance</li>
<li>Better document usability and collaboration in SharePoint</li>
<li>Consistent access control driven by Oracle EBS data</li>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><p>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.</p>
<p>This use case shows how Oracle EBS organizations can reduce database growth, modernize document storage, and maintain strong access controls by <a href="/blog/elevate-security-and-efficiency-bridging-the-gap-between-oracle-ebs-and-sharepoint-entra-id-groups">aligning Oracle EBS user logic with Entra ID group governance</a>.</p>
<p>Organizations that migrate attachments out of the Oracle database consistently see meaningful infrastructure and performance improvements. <a href="/blog/global-steel-producer-achieves-dramatic-oracle-database-reduction-through-aventx-a2a-attachment-migration">One real-world example of Oracle database reduction</a> shows how a global manufacturer reduced database growth by moving Oracle EBS attachments to SharePoint.</p>

<p>This update gives organizations more flexibility in mobile device strategy while eliminating reliance on consumer-grade tablets in harsh conditions.</p>
<p>With Android support, maintenance technicians can:</p>
<ul>
<li>Use durable field-ready devices built for dust, vibration, and extreme temperatures</li>
<li>Access the same Oracle eAM mobile work order experience available on iOS</li>
<li>Work online or offline with downloaded work orders</li>

<h4>Proactively Prevent Email Failures with Domain Validation</h4>
<p>AventX for JD Edwards now includes an optional domain validation step using nslookup, which helps ensure that outbound emails only attempt delivery to resolvable domains. This configurable feature, which aligns AventX for JDE Edwards with similar functionality in other AventX solutions, can prevent undeliverable email jobs by verifying MX records before sending, thereby reducing bounce-backs and enhancing system reliability.</p>

This new release allows technicians to leverage robust “rugged” tablets or “tough books” in manufacturing and mining settings, while benefiting from all existing mobile work order features (filtering, reconciliation codes, offline downloads, etc.). Android compatibility reduces dependency on iPads in physically demanding environments and enables greater flexibility in device deployment.</p>

			</div><div class="et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_96  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light">
				
				
				
				
				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><p>Migrating Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) from on-premises servers to <strong>Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)</strong> 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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>If you’re planning or already in the middle of an OCI migration, you’ve probably heard this from your IT team: <em>“Printing is harder in the cloud than we expected.”</em> And they’re right — unless you have a modern solution.</p></div>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h3>The 7 Biggest Printing Pain Points in OCI Migration</h3></div>
			</div><div class="et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_98  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light">
				
				
				
				
				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h3>1. Loss of Local Network Printer Access</h3>
<p>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.</p></div>
			</div><div class="et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_99  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light">
				
				
				
				
				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h3>2. Complex, Redundant Printer Configuration</h3>
<p>Traditionally, each printer had to be configured in <strong>three separate places</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Windows print server (drivers, queues)</li>
<li>Linux/UNIX CUPS server</li>
<li>Oracle EBS printer registration</li>
</ul>
<p>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.</p></div>
			</div><div class="et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_100  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light">
				
				
				
				
				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h3>3. VPN and Connectivity Overhead</h3>
<p>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.</p></div>
			</div><div class="et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_101  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light">
				
				
				
				
				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h3>4. Print Job Visibility and Troubleshooting Gaps</h3>
<p>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.</p></div>
			</div><div class="et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_102  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light">
				
				
				
				
				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h3>5. Performance Bottlenecks</h3>
<p>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.</p></div>
			</div><div class="et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_103  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light">
				
				
				
				
				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h3>6. Legacy Dependencies</h3>
<p>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.</p></div>
			</div><div class="et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_104  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light">
				
				
				
				
				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h3>7. Lack of Cloud-Native Printer Integration</h3>
<p>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.</p></div>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><p><strong>Q: Do I still need CUPS in OCI?</strong><br />A: Not with AventX. Direct Printing and M365 Universal Print eliminate the need for CUPS entirely.</p>
<p><strong>Q: Can AventX support a hybrid setup (some on-prem, some OCI)?</strong><br />A: Yes. Many organizations run AventX in hybrid mode during phased migrations.</p>
<p><strong>Q: Does AventX improve visibility into print jobs?</strong><br />A: Yes. Features like True Print Status give IT and end-users real-time visibility into where a job is in the process.</p>
<p><strong>Q: What if my reports include attachments?</strong><br />A: AventX can gather and attach documents automatically, so attachments aren’t lost in migration.</p></div>

<p>Here’s a practical checklist to help ensure printing doesn’t derail your OCI migration:</p>
<ul>
<li>Inventory all printers and group them by location and type.</li>
<li>Map each printer to the appropriate AventX method (Direct, Local, Windows, M365).</li>
<li>Configure printers centrally in AventX before migration cut-over.</li>
<li>Test high-volume jobs (invoices, POs, pick lists) in a staging OCI environment.</li>
<li>Train users on Local Preview and Reprint options.</li>
<li>Decommission CUPS or redundant Windows servers post-migration.</li>

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

<h4>Dynamic Page Stamping in AventX for Oracle Cloud</h4>
<p>We&#8217;re excited to announce a powerful enhancement to AventX for Oracle Cloud: Dynamic Page Stamping. Now, you can automatically embed critical information directly into the headers or footers of every page within your work packets. This new functionality allows for both hard-coded text and, more importantly, dynamic variables such as attachment filenames, work order numbers, dates, times, and even custom data queried directly from Oracle. For technicians in the field, this means instant access to vital context on every document page, improving accuracy, reducing time spent searching for information, and streamlining overall maintenance, repair, and operations processes.</p>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h4>Set It and Forget It: Schedule Your Work Order Printing (and Email) with AventX</h4>
<p>Your maintenance scheduling just got an upgrade. AventX now empowers you to &#8220;set and forget&#8221; your recurring work order distributions with new dynamic time parameters. Instead of manually adjusting dates, you can now schedule jobs to automatically run for periods like &#8220;This Week&#8221; or &#8220;Next 7 Days,&#8221; ensuring work orders are always processed on time with less effort.</p>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h4>Eliminate Guesswork: Get Notified When Your ESS Processes Have No Output</h4>
<p>Ever wonder if a scheduled process failed or if it simply had no report to generate? AventX now provides clarity by sending an email notification when an ESS Process runs successfully but generates no output based on the selected parameters. This proactive alert lets your team know immediately that the job worked as intended, saving valuable time on unnecessary troubleshooting and allowing users to confidently adjust parameters for the next run.</p>

<p>As your organization embraces Oracle’s modern Redwood interface, your maintenance processes will keep pace. Technicians can now initiate the complete AventX creation and distribution engine directly from the “My Maintenance Workbench.” This seamless integration ensures that when a technician prints a work order, they receive a complete package with all necessary attachments automatically gathered and converted, leveraging the full power of AventX without ever leaving their primary workspace.</p>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h4>Future-Proofing Email Reliability: AventX Completes Proactive API Migration</h4>
<p>To ensure the long-term stability and reliability of our email services, our team has completed a critical backend migration of the Email Tracker API. This proactive infrastructure update was performed well ahead of the vendor&#8217;s end-of-life schedule to prevent any potential service disruptions. By achieving full feature parity with the new API, we have guaranteed that all email tracking, from delivery confirmations to bounce notifications, continues to function seamlessly for all users. This behind-the-scenes work is a testament to our commitment to providing a stable, dependable platform you can trust.</p>

<h4>Gain Greater Control and Efficiency with Advanced &#8220;Direct Print&#8221; Printer Finishing Options in AventX</h4>
<p>Move beyond simply printing documents to truly automating your entire document workflow. AventX now empowers you to control your &#8220;Direct Print&#8221; (IPP printing) finishing options, like stapling, hole-punching, and duplex (double-sided) printing, directly from the user interface. By sending documents that are collated and ready for distribution right from the printer, you can eliminate time-consuming manual steps, reduce errors, and ensure a professional result every time. Our enhanced Direct Print module intelligently sends these jobs to any compatible IPP v1.0 or IPP Everywhere network printer and will even complete the print job if a specific finishing option isn&#8217;t supported by the printer, guaranteeing your critical business processes are never interrupted.</p>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h3>Document Migration Improvements</h3>
<h4>Gain Granular Control Over Your Attachment Migration Logic</h4>
<p>Move beyond a one-size-fits-all approach to data migration. You can now assign a unique database View to each Attachment Migration File Entity, giving you unprecedented flexibility to tailor data handling to your specific business processes. This enhancement allows you to apply conditional logic—such as migrating only attachments with a “Released” or “Approved” status—for different migration actions. A built-in validation tool confirms the custom View is correctly configured, ensuring a seamless and precise migration that aligns perfectly with your organization&#8217;s rules.</p>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h4>Evolve Your Attachment Management with Event-Driven Migrations</h4>
<p>Enhance your attachment migration strategy from periodic scans to immediate, event-driven actions. Our enhanced REST endpoint allows an external system to trigger a migration for a specific attachment the moment it&#8217;s ready by passing its details in a JSON payload. This on-demand model replaces the need for generalized, scheduled jobs that repeatedly scan for new files, resulting in a more efficient, precise, and real-time integration with your critical business applications.</p>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h4>Configure with Confidence: Instantly Verify Your Metadata Queries</h4>
<p>Eliminate the guesswork when building attachment migration actions. A new &#8220;Verify&#8221; button for your metadata query allows you to instantly test your logic before ever saving. Simply provide sample data for your tokens in the pop-up form and immediately see the query results. This addition streamlines the configuration process, preventing errors and giving you the confidence that your complex queries will run correctly the first time.</p>
