          Oracle Retail Financial Integration (RFI)
          
          The Oracle Retail Financial Integration (RFI) is the direct
          integration solution between Oracle Retail Merchandising Suite and
          enterprise financial systems.  Because the concept of retail financial
          integration continues to be strategic to Oracle Retail, this new
          integration is designed to better match other Oracle Retail provided
          integration patterns and so has the benefit of being easier to
          implement and support by our customers.  The Oracle Retail Financial
          Integration is aligned with our overall integration strategy.

            (File-based, ETL-based)
