This chapter provides an overview of administering Oracle Trading Community Architecture.
This chapter covers the following topics:
Oracle Trading Community Architecture (TCA) administration features let you set up, control, and manage functionality that affect data in the TCA Registry. You can administer these TCA tools and features to best fit your business needs. See: Introduction to Oracle Trading Community Architecture, Oracle Trading Community Architecture User Guide.
Most of the administration features are available in the Administration tab, a one-stop access for TCA administration, in the Trading Community Manager responsibility. This tab is also available in Oracle Customers Online and Oracle Customer Data Librarian.
TCA administration includes:
Relationships: Manage the relationship types that can be used to create relationships among entities in the TCA Registry. See: Administering Relationships.
Classifications: Manage the class categories and codes that can be used to classify entities in the TCA Registry. See: Administering Classifications.
Data Quality Management: Set up Data Quality Management, which provides powerful search and duplicate identification functionality. See: Administering Data Quality Management.
Security: Manage data sharing groups and control how specific entities in the TCA Registry can be accessed depending on user and responsibility privileges. See: Administering Data Sharing and Security.
Adapters: Configure third party or custom-made adapters that are used to process data in the TCA Registry. See: Administering Adapters.
Phones: Specify time zone information for phones, and define phone formats. See: Administering Phones.
Extensions: Extend the TCA Registry by creating user-defined attributes. See: Administering Extensions.
Source System Management: Define the source systems, such as legacy or third party systems, that provide data for specific TCA entities, and control how data from various sources is used and displayed. See: Administering Source System Management.
Certification: Define certification levels and reasons, and manage the display of levels. See: Administering Certification.
Many of the administration steps are also performed as part of implementing TCA. See: General Implementation and Feature-Specific Implementation.
