Integration module
The Integration Framework module contains a set of applications that help you to integrate the system with your enterprise applications. You also can create business flows between the system and your other enterprise applications.
The key features of the Integration Framework include the following:
- Pre-defined content to assist in implementing integration requirements in a timely manner. This content is a comprehensive set of outbound (channels) and inbound (services) integration interfaces that are available to use immediately.
- Applications to configure, pre-define, and to create new integration definitions.
- Applications to facilitate the customization of pre-defined content using a processing rule engine, Java and Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT).
- Support for multiple communication modes, including:
- Web Services.
- HTTP.
- Java Message Service (JMS) messaging.
- Database interface tables.
- XML/Flat files.
- Event-based, batch, program-initiated, and user-initiated processing of outbound and inbound messages.
- Load and performance scalability using JMS queues.
- Support for clustered environments that reduce system downtime, increase system availability, and improve system performance.
- Support for UI-based integration, including context-based launching of external applications.
- Support for integration to Operational Management Products (OMPs).
- Support for bulk export of data using user-defined SQL query.
- Support for bulk importing of XML or flat files.
- Dynamic XML schema generation for all integration artifacts (channels and services).
- Dynamic generation of Web Services Interoperability (WS-I) compliant Web Services, including Web Service Definition Language (WSDL).
- Provides the concept of an adapter that is used to group related integration artifacts. You can configure and deploy adapters for enterprise connectivity with various systems. Each adapter can have its own interface and delivery mode. Pre-configured adapters for Oracle and SAP are available as add-ons.
