Use Oracle Trading Community Architecture (TCA) Third Party Data Integration to purchase third party data from D&B to enrich the data in the TCA Registry. D&B information is integrated with the party records to maintain accurate information that you can use to evaluate credit risks.
The D&B information coexists with user-entered data in the Registry. In Oracle applications, users can view and use information from different data sources, such as user entered and D&B. Your administrator can control how the D&B and user-entered data are used and displayed in Oracle applications, as well as set up Third Party Data Integration.
Attention: The embedded Dun and Bradstreet toolkit is not compatible in an IBM environment.
Note: Even though all purchased D&B data are stored in TCA tables, some information might not appear in user interfaces, based on the Single Source of Truth (SST) setup.
See: Setting Up Third Party Data Integration and Single Source of Truth Overview.
In the TCA Registry, a party exists separately from any business relationship that it enters into with other parties. A customer account for a party represents a business relationship that parties can enter into. The account has information about the terms and conditions of doing business with the party. The D&B information that you purchase is stored in TCA for parties, not for customer accounts. See: Customers Overview.
D&B provides profile, demographic, credit risk, and financial information about parties to help you make business decisions about the parties that you transact with.
To acquire third party information from D&B, you can use either of these methods:
You can also load legacy data that D&B has rationalized into the TCA Registry .
For specific parties, view and compare the data from different data sources, such as user entered and D&B. See: Viewing Information from Data Sources.
You can also run two reports for more information about the D&B data in the TCA Registry:
Duplicate DUNS Report: To review parties with the same D-U-N-S Number. See: Duplicate DUNS Report.
DNB Global Data Products Request Report: To determine what D&B data products have been requested. See: DNB Global Data Products Request Report.
