But if you use Oracle tools such as SQL*Plus to modify Oracle Applications data, you risk destroying the integrity of your data and you lose the ability to audit changes to your data.Because Oracle Applications tables are interrelated, any change you make using Oracle Applications can update many tables at once. But when you modify Oracle Applications data using anything other than Oracle Applications, you may change a row in one table without making corresponding changes in related tables. If your tables get out of synchronization with each other, you risk retrieving erroneous information and you risk unpredictable results throughout Oracle Applications.When you use Oracle Applications to modify your data, Oracle Applications automatically checks that your changes are valid. Oracle Applications also keeps track of who changes information. If you enter information into database tables using database tools, you may store invalid information. You also lose the ability to track who has changed your information because SQL*Plus and other database tools do not keep a record of changes.xxviiiAbout OracleOracle Corporation develops and markets an integrated line of software products for database management, applications development, decision support, and office automation, as well as Oracle Applications, an integrated suite of more than 160 software modules for financial management, supply chain management, manufacturing, project systems, human resources and customer relationship management.Oracle products are available for mainframes, minicomputers, personal computers, network computers and personal digital assistants, allowing organizations to integrate different computers, different operating systems, different networks, and even different database management systems, into a single, unified computing and information resource.Oracle is the worlds leading supplier of software for information management, and the worlds second largest software company.

Topics covered in this chapter are: Overview of Oracle Order Management APIs and Open Interfaces on page 1-2Overview of Oracle Order Management APIs and Open Interfaces1-2 Oracle Order Management Open Interfaces, API, & Electronic Messaging GuideOverview of Oracle Order Management APIs and Open InterfacesOracle Order Management products provide a number of open interfaces so you can link them with non-Oracle applications, applications you build, applications on other computers, and even the applications of your suppliers and customers.The purpose of this chapter is to help you understand the general model Oracle Order Management products use for open application interfaces. Other chapters in this book provide specific information on how to use each of the open interfaces. Additional functional information on these interfaces is available in each products users guide. Additional technical information on these interfaces is available in each products Technical Reference Manual.Basic Business NeedsThe Oracle Order Management Suites product APIs and open interfaces provide you with the features you need to support the following basic business needs: Connect to data collection devices. This lets you collect material movement transactions such as receipts, issues, quality data, movements, completions, and shipments. This speeds data entry and improves transaction accuracy. Connect to other systems such as finite scheduling packages, computer-aided design systems, custom and legacy manufacturing systems to create integrated enterprise wide systems. Connect to external systems such as the customers purchasing system and the suppliers order entry system to better integrate the supply chain via electronic commerce. Control processing of inbound data imported from outside Oracle applications. Validate imported data to ensure integrity of Oracle Order Management products. Review, update, and resubmit imported data that failed validation. Export data from Oracle Order Management productsOracle Order Management InterfacesOpen Interface ArchitecturesOracle Order Management products have three different methods to import and export data:Overview of Oracle Order Management APIs and Open InterfacesIntegrating Your Systems 1-3 Interface Tables Interface Views (Business Views) Function Calls or Programmatic Interfaces (Processes)Interface TablesInterface tables in Oracle Order Management applications provide a temporary storage area for loading information from an external source. After the information is loaded, concurrent programs are executed to validate the information and then to apply the information to the base product tables.The benefit of an interface table is that it provides a repository where records can be processed and if errors are found it can be edited and resubmitted.In the Oracle Order Management family of applications you should never write directly to the product's tables. An Oracle Applications validation step is always required. You may achieve this either by loading information into the interface tables and submitting a provided concurrent program to validate and process the information or by using a function call to a programmatic interface.Interface Views (Business Views)Views simplify the data relationships for easier processing, whether for reporting or data export. Oracle Order Management products have defined business views that identify certain areas of key business interest. You can access this data using your tool of choice. The OE_ORDER_HEADERS_BV is an example of a key business view.Product views are defined in the Technical Reference Manuals. The view definitions also briefly describe how they are used.Function Calls or Programmatic Interfaces (Processes)As an alternative to the two step process of writing to an interface table and executing a program to process the table data, many Oracle Order Management interfaces support direct function calls. A calling application can pass appropriate parameters and execute a public function to invoke the application logic.The benefit of a function call is that the integration is real time, as opposed to interface tables where the integration is batch.Summary: Beyond Published InterfacesThe Oracle Cooperative Applications Initiative references many third party products which provide import and export capabilities and allow loose to tight Overview of Oracle Order Management APIs and Open Interfaces1-4 Oracle Order Management Open Interfaces, API, & Electronic Messaging Guideintegration with legacy systems, other supplier systems, and so on.
