Transaction definitions define the processing that the adapter services perform in Oracle Applications systems. Transaction definitions can map to open interface tables, stored procedures, views, and raw SQL statements.

Sample transaction definitions are available that you can use to configure your own adapter services. You can modify the sample transaction definitions or create new transaction definitions customized for your needs. For more information about the sample transaction definitions, see the webMethods Oracle Applications Adapter Sample Transaction Definitions User’s Guide .

If you are using the predefined transaction services, you do not need to do anything with the transaction definitions. However, if you want to customize any of the transaction definitions from which the services were partially created, or if you want to configure new transaction definitions, you can do so using the adapter's page in Integration Server Administrator. For example, you might want to customize a transaction definition for a send service if the service delivers more business document fields than you need. For more information about the transaction definitions used with the predefined transaction services, see the webMethods Oracle Applications Predefined Transaction Services Installation and User's Guide for the version of Oracle Applications with which you are using the adapter.
