The Oracle Commerce Platform Integration Framework includes the Integration Repository, which adds to the Repository feature the ability to represent data on external systems as Oracle Commerce Platform repository items. The Integration Repository provides several key features for integrating the Oracle Commerce Platform with external systems:
You can execute queries from the Oracle Commerce Platform against remote systems. The Integration Repository represents the results of the queries as repository items.
You can create queries using RQL or other Oracle Commerce Platform query building techniques, and the Integration Repository translates the queries into the format required by the remote system.
When data from the remote system is represented as repository items, the Integration Repository can automatically submit changes to these items to the remote system without requiring special update calls to a remote system.
