User Productivity Kit (UPK)


Oracle's User Productivity Kit is a simple tool provided by Oracle to capture the navigation or the transaction which the user is to be educated with and reproduce the very same transaction in various formats.

A transaction can be anything starting from applying a leave to applying for a loan through company .
You can capture as many frames as u want ( Just like a camera allows you to capture a picture, this is also very same to use ) .
For ex : In payroll module if you would like to run a Payroll Run process through concurrent Program, then with the help of UPK you can capture the whole process right from the point where the Payroll Administrator logs into the application to running the payroll process and view the results through payroll process results.
After you have captured the transaction ,UPK allows you to edit the process flow captured and reproduce the same process both in animated format and document format.

Animated version will be in following formats :
a) Player Package Format
b) HTML Web site Format
c) LMS Package Format
d) Standalone Topic File Format
All the above mentioned files can be viewed through a player called “ON DEMAND Player“ which you will be able to use once you have installed Oracle UPK. 
Document version will be in following Formats :
e) Business Process Document
f) Job Aid
g) Test Document
h) Output to Test Director
i) Training Guide
j) Instructor Manual

As you can observe UPK provides an option with developing and publishing a single transaction in multiple formats , without wasting much time.

Main Advantage of UPK
  • It also allows training and support personnel to create interactive software simulations and other instructional materials.
  • These simulations allow users to see and interact with an application even before they have access to it.
        This allows people to learn about software before a system is put into production and users can learn how they will be able to 
        view their roles and transactions prior to the system “Go Live”.
  • While the use of UPK greatly increases the efficiency of actual content recording and editing
  • With the addition of prebuilt content for UPK, the effectiveness and quality of that development is greatly enhanced.
