Oracle E-Business Suite can be integrated with other Oracle products. This chapter lists some of the integration points.
Note: Oracle E-Business Suite integrates with many other products, and these are discussed elsewhere. For example, see the Oracle E-Business Suite System Administrator's Guide - Security for information on integration with Oracle Single Sign-On.
You can link to an Application Development Framework (ADF) application from the Oracle E-Business Suite home page, regardless of how or if the ADF application integrates with Oracle E-Business Suite data on the back end. For more information on using ADF applications with Oracle E-Business Suite, see Using Oracle Application Framework (OAF) and Application Development Framework (ADF), My Oracle Support Knowledge Document 563047.1. Also see: Integration with Application Development Framework.
Oracle E-Business Suite supports authentication of application users using Oracle Access Manager through the Oracle E-Business Suite AccessGate application. Oracle E-Business Suite AccessGate is a Java EE application that is deployed to a WebLogic Server instance, and works in conjunction with Oracle Access Manager and Oracle Internet Directory (OID) to enable single sign-on capabilities for your entire enterprise. This application is currently targeted primarily at customers who have already deployed Oracle Access Manager in other organizations within the company, and who wish to extend the authentication capabilities of Oracle Access Manager to Oracle E-Business Suite instances. More information can be found in Integrating Oracle E-Business Suite with Oracle Access Manager using Oracle E-Business Suite AccessGate, My Oracle Support Knowledge Document 975182.1.
Oracle Application Object Library added new standard Java datasource and Java Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS) features, plus extended error logging routines, to Oracle E-Business Suite in Patch 8571001. These features are meant for use with Java EE programs deployed in application servers on external nodes; that is, nodes other than those where Oracle E-Business Suite middle tier is installed. These are lightweight implementations that can be used on an external application server without needing to install an entire Oracle E-Business Suite instance on the application server machine. For more information, see: AppsDataSource, Java Authentication and Authorization Service, and Utilities for Oracle E-Business Suite, My Oracle Support Knowledge Document 974949.1.
You can use Oracle GoldenGate with Oracle E-Business Suite for operational reporting, in which selected tables are replicated from the primary Oracle E-Business Suite database to a secondary (duplicate) instance. This enables read-intensive, custom reports to be run without using resources on the primary Oracle E-Business Suite database. For more information, see: Deploying Oracle GoldenGate to Achieve Operational Reporting for Oracle E-Business Suite, My Oracle Support Knowledge Document 1112325.1.
