Creating Contexts

Contexts bring together components of the physical architecture (the real architecture) of the information system with components of the Oracle Data Integrator logical architecture (the architecture on which the user works). The next step in ERP Integrator requires that you create contexts.

  To create one or more contexts:

  1. In Topology Manager, select Context.

  2. Right-click and choose Insert Context.

  3. Enter the context name and code. Leave the password blank.

    Note:

    This context is referenced when setting up each source system in ERP Integrator.

    At this point in the configuration, all components except for the physical agent have been created in Oracle Data Integrator. The next step is to relate the physical schemas to the logical schemas for each context.

  4. To relate the physical schemas to the logical schemas for each context, use the Context tab (which lists all logical schemas), Physical Architecture tab, or Logical Architecture tab. In all cases, a physical schema must be assigned to a logical schema for a selected context.

    To setup multiple E-Business Suite source systems, or target applications that cross Shared Services instances, create the necessary physical schema and context, and then assign them as necessary.

  5. Next, configure the work repository. See Configuring the ERP Integrator Work Repository.
