Adapter Services
Adapter services enable an Integration Server to initiate operations on Oracle Applications systems. Adapter services use transaction definitions to determine the processing to perform on an Oracle Applications system.
Oracle Apps Adapter enables you to configure customized adapter services that you can use to integrate with
Oracle Applications systems. You configure adapter services using adapter service templates, which are provided with
Oracle Apps Adapter. For more information about the templates, see
Adapter Service Templates.
You will need to configure your own adapter services if:
You are using the predefined transaction services but you have a highly customized
Oracle Applications system and some of the predefined transaction services do not meet your needs, or
You want to continue to use the adapter services that were created and generated with versions of
Oracle Apps Adapter earlier than 6.0.
You can create a webMethods client that invokes the adapter service, or you can integrate the adapter service into an existing flow service. For example, if you want to code a webMethods client that creates a customer order from a purchase order, code the webMethods client to invoke the service that executes the OEOrderImport transaction of Oracle Order Management.
