Moving from Order Hub to next-generation Order Hub

If you are currently using Order Hub, and you want to take advantage of the new capabilities and benefits that are included with next-generation Order Hub, you can move to next-generation Order Hub.

About this task

You must be a tenant administrator to perform this task.

Procedure

  1. For each environment (Development, Quality assurance, Preproduction, Production, and so forth), move the tenant and user settings from the Order Hub tenant to the next-generation Order Hub environment by following the steps.
    1. Log in to Order Hub at www.supply-chain.ibm.com.
    2. Go to Settings > User roles.
    3. Click Migrate settings.
    Clicking Migrate settings moves the saved tenant and user preferences into the respective Order Management Software database.
    • The tenant preferences are moved to plt_property_metadata.
    • The user preferences are moved to plt_user_ui_state.

    You can view most of the tenant preferences by selecting Setttings > Display settings. For more information about tenant settings, see Configuring settings. User preferences refer to all of the search form, table, and summary fields preferences.

  2. Validate the migration by running the following queries.

select * from plt_user_ui_state where APPLICATION_NAME=’OH’ order by MODIFYTS desc;
select * from plt_property_metadata where base_property_name like ‘%orderhub%’
You can perform this next step multiple times. For example, you can do this when you first explore the move to next-generation Order Hub. You perform this step a final time when you complete the move to next-generation Order Hub.

  1. Log in to Self Service.
  2. Go to Environment details > Order management.
  3. For each environment (Development, Quality assurance, Preproduction, Production, and so forth), get the URL needed to log in to next-generation Order Hub.
  4. Share the URL with the business users.

You can continue to use both Order Hub and next-generation Order Hub at the same time.

  1. If you have customizations, inform your Developers to migrate and upload your customizations to next-generation Order Hub by using Self Service. For more information, see Migrating customizations to next-generation Order Hub.
  2. When you want to stop users from accessing Order Hub and exclusively use the next-generation Order Hub environment, go to Settings > User roles and delete the users.
