1 Introduction

Oracle Omnichannel Cloud Data Service (OCDS) is a data hub, enabling Oracle Retail Merchandising and Pricing applications to share foundation data with Oracle Retail Omnichannel applications. OCDS is composed of three major components:

• BDI Batch Job Admin - Enables the flow of data into OCDS using Oracle Bulk Data Integration (BDI) technology. Job Admin has a User Interface (UI) to support the management of BDI batch Jobs.

• RIB Injector - Enables the flow of data into OCDS from the Oracle Retail Integration Bus (RIB).

• ORDS - Enables the data contained in OCDS to be accessed by Omnichannel Applications through the use of RESTful web services.

Note: The OCDS was designed and tested as an integration solution for Oracle Retail applications only. Its use as an integration solution for third-party, non Oracle Retail applications is not supported.
