WebSphere Adapter for Oracle E-Business Suite documentation
With IBM WebSphere Adapter for Oracle E-Business Suite, you can create integrated processes that include the exchange of information with Oracle E-Business Suite, without special coding.
- Overview of IBM WebSphere Adapter for Oracle E-Business Suite
With IBM WebSphere Adapter for Oracle E-Business Suite, you can create service-oriented integrated applications, which can interact and exchange information with Oracle E-Business Suite. By using the adapter, you can send requests and receive events from the underlying Oracle database, without special coding.- Plan for adapter implementation
Before using WebSphere Adapter for Oracle E-Business Suite, make sure that you understand the experience you need and the server environment in which it runs. Learn the considerations for deploying the adapter in your server environment, and find out how to improve the performance and availability of the adapter by using a clustered server environment.- Samples and tutorials
To help you use WebSphere Adapters, samples and tutorials are available from the Business Process Management Samples and Tutorials website.- Configure the module for deployment
To configure the adapter so that it can be deployed on IBM BPM or WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus, use IBM Integration Designer to create a module, which is exported as an EAR file when you deploy the adapter. You then specify the business objects you want to discover and the system on which you want to discover them.- Modify artifacts
Often business requirements mandate changes to the backend enterprise information system (EIS) data structures. These changes call for regeneration and reconfiguration of artifacts (import and export) that were previously generated using the external service wizard.- Changing interaction specification properties
To change interaction specification properties for your adapter module after generating the service, use the assembly editor in IBM Integration Designer.- Deploying the module
Deploy a module to place the files that make up your module and adapter into an operational environment for production or testing. In IBM Integration Designer, the integrated test environment features runtime support for IBM BPM or WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus, or both, depending on the test environment profiles that you selected during installation.- Administer the adapter module
When you are running the adapter in a stand-alone deployment, use the administrative console of the server to start, stop, monitor, and troubleshoot the adapter module. In an application that uses an embedded adapter, the adapter module starts or stops when the application is started or stopped.- Troubleshooting and support
Common troubleshooting techniques and self-help information help you identify and solve problems quickly. For information about configuring logging properties and changing the log and trace file names, see Configure logging and tracing.- Reference
Detailed information about business objects, adapter properties (enterprise service discovery properties, resource adapter properties, managed (J2C) connection factory properties, activation specification properties, and interaction specification properties), messages, and related product information is provided for your reference.- Adapter documentation in PDF format
