Technology adapters are included in the Oracle Internet Application Server and WebLogic Suite license upon which SOA Suite for Oracle Middleware has a licensing dependency. Other adapter types are licensed separately.

Financial Service adapters, along with Financial Message Designer, are separately licensed standalone products which interoperate with Oracle Service Bus. They are not JCA adapters like the other integration adapters. They include:

Financial Message Designer is a design time tool and can only be licensed along with at least one of the Financial Services Message Adapters (SWIFT Adapter, FIX Adapter, Payments Adapter or Derivatives Adapter), which provide the run-time libraries.

An additional separately licensed adapter, Enterprise Link for Business Activity Monitoring, is offered as an extension of the Oracle BAM 10g product for customers who are looking to leverage Oracle BAM's embedded extract, transform and load (ETL) tooling. Enterprise Link is only one of five major ways to source data into Oracle BAM and is not required in all customer implementations. Customers who do not need Enterprise Link are any customers connecting to Oracle BAM only through BPEL PM Sensors or the Web Services API for Oracle BAM's Active Data Cache. Enterprise Link is required for all customers connecting to Oracle BAM through JMS queues or though query-based ETL updates. This includes customers who want to listen to JMS messages in existing integration environments, transfer large data sets into BAM, or archive data out of the BAM Active Data Cache on a scheduled basis. Enterprise Link is an extension to the 10g version of Oracle BAM only.
