Oracle E-Business Suite Integrated SOA Gateway supports custom integration interfaces and allows them to be published along with Oracle seeded ones through the Oracle Integration Repository where they can be exposed to all users.
Integration developers create and annotate custom integration interfaces based on the Integration Repository annotation standards. Integration administrators use a standalone design-time tool to validate these annotated source files against the annotation standards. After validation, a loader file is generated and then uploaded to the Integration Repository through backend processing. These custom interfaces are displayed based on the interface types to which they belong and displayed together with Oracle seeded ones from the Integration Repository user interface.
Supported custom interface types include XML Gateway Map, Business Event, PL/SQL, Concurrent Program, Business Service Object, Java APIs, Java Bean Services, Application Module Services, and Composite Service - BPEL type.
Note: Please note that custom interface types of EDI, Open Interface Tables, Interface Views, and Java APIs for Forms interfaces are not supported in this release.
Oracle Integration Repository currently does not support the creation of custom Product Family and custom Business Entity.
To easily distinguish annotated custom interface definitions from Oracle seeded interfaces, the Interface Source 'Custom' is used to categorize those custom integration interfaces in contrast to Interface Source 'Oracle' for Oracle interfaces.
