March 2021
Overview
Common integration patterns
used for interoperability of the applications include asynchronous messaging
(fire and forget), request response, and bulk data transfer. In Oracle Retail,
Retail Integration Bus (RIB) is used for asynchronous messaging and ODI is used
for bulk data transfer. Retail Service Backbone (RSB) uses the request-response
style of Enterprise Integration in Oracle Retail. RSB uses Web services as the
mechanism for the request/reply style of integration. RSB products include
pre-built services and flows and the integration API end points for all of the
Oracle Retail Application's Web services and the Enterprise Solution Web
service integration points and contracts for external application to connect to
as part of the Solution business processing. RSB is an uptake of Oracle Service
Bus (OSB) for Retail domain.
Both RSB and RIB use Retail
Business Object (RBO) for the messages. This ensures consistency and
interoperability between the integration patterns. In addition to this, there
are common tools like Retail SOA Enabler (RSE), Retail Integration Console
(RIC) that work with both styles of integration products.
In other words, Oracle Retail
Service Backbone (RSB) is a product comprising of a set of Web services, ESB
and security tools that standardize the deployment and runtime of Web service
flows within Oracle Retail Suite of applications.
RSB can also be viewed as a
set of pre-built Web service integration API end points delivered by Oracle
Retail.
