Retail Integration Bus (RIB) Essentials

The Retail Integration Bus Essentials course covers a variety of topics associated with the RIB, and includes hands-on exercises. The course starts with an overview of the RIB and quickly moves into the functional and technical architecture. RIB Tools are explained in detail as well as the RIB Error Hospital. As part of a hands-on exercise, students will follow a message from the Oracle Retail Merchandising System (RMS), into the RIB, and then into Oracle Store Inventory Management (SIM). Through the presentation of lessons, and participation in quizzes and practice exercises, students will learn the core concepts of the RIB.
