REST API to Import Data Without a Job Definition

You can now use a REST API to import data without a job definition. The file containing the data must be present in the repository. The REST API imports data from a file into the application using the parameter values provided, without an explicit predefined import data job definition.

You can review the rejected data records that have errors. To do this, specify an error file that captures the data records that are not imported for each dimension. If an error file is specified, the ZIP file is stored in the Outbox where you can download the file using Inbox/Outbox Explorer, for example, with the Download API.

Business Benefit: The new feature in this REST API allows you to automate the task of importing data without creating a job definition.

Steps to Enable

Review the REST service definition in the REST API guides to leverage (available from the Oracle Help Center > your apps service area of interest > APIs & Schema). If you are new to Oracle's REST services you may want to begin with the Quick Start section.
