Execute Inspection Plan Action Rules Using a REST Service

Manufacturers need a way to effortlessly integrate the Oracle Quality Management product with other applications and systems. This ensures real time data exchange and automatic execution of the action rules. Oracle Quality Inspection already supports execution of the inspection action rules from the user interface. Now you can also seamlessly execute inspection action rules using the Inspection Actions REST service. This fosters agility, flexibility, and automation of the inspection process.

For example, when integrating mobile devices or equipment to Oracle Quality Inspection using REST resources to pass in result values, a quality issue can be automatically created if a result value is outside of the specification limits.

When executing the action rule through REST service you are able to:

  • Strengthen the automation handshake for 3rd party integration with equipment and other machinery
  • Leads to cost savings by reducing manual effort, reducing errors, and increasing efficiency

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.

Tips And Considerations

  • If the Inspection Actions REST resource is called after the actions have been previously executed, all of the rules will be executed again, if any.
  • Information pertaining to inspection actions triggered cannot be deleted.
  • Creation of inspection action records is only supported through the execution of the rules, and they cannot be directly created or modified.
  • You can execute inspection plan action rules using a REST resource, but you cannot create action rules for the inspection plan using a REST resource.
  • You can use the Visual Builder Cloud Service add-in for Excel with the REST services to execute the inspection plan action rules and to retrieve the information pertaining to the actions taken.
