This chapter provides an overview on how to use Oracle Application Server Integration InterConnect (OracleAS Integration InterConnect) Adapter for Oracle Applications (OA adapter). It contains the following topics:
Oracle Applications is a complete set of integrated business applications that runs entirely on the Internet. This enables you to:
Cut costs
Increase revenues across front-office and back-office functions
Access current, accurate, and consistent data
The applications in Oracle Applications are built on a unified information architecture that consolidates data from Oracle and non-Oracle applications and enables a consistent definition of customers, suppliers, partners, and employees across the entire enterprise. The result is a suite of applications that can give you current performance metrics, financial ratios, profit and loss summaries, and other types of information that roll up across all departments, products, and geographies. Whether you implement one module or the entire Suite, Oracle Applications can help you make smarter decisions with better information, share unified information across the enterprise, reduce IT expenses, and run your business more efficiently. To connect Oracle Applications to other non-Oracle applications, the OracleAS Integration InterConnect OA adapter is required.
The OA adapter enables you to connect to Oracle Applications. The OA adapter can be used to connect to versions 11.5.1 through 11.5.9 of Oracle Applications.
Note: All interface types except PL/SQL APIs and interface tables exposed by the Oracle Applications can be used for both inbound (into Oracle Applications) and outbound (out of Oracle Applications) communication. PL/SQL APIs and interface tables can be used only for inbound communication. |

OracleAS Integration InterConnect uses JRE 1.4, which is installed with its components.
The OA adapter requires Oracle8i or later version of the Oracle database. Typically, the database should already be used by the application. If this database is not used by the application, then install Oracle8i or Oracle9i database.
Note: There is no dependency between OracleAS Integration InterConnect and the technology stack under Oracle Applications, specifically the Oracle Database and Application Server versions. You can use the OA adapter to connect to any of the above mentioned Oracle Applications versions. |
