AI Agent: B2B Message Format Converter

The B2B Message Format Converter intelligently transforms data from a Fusion Application REST resource into a standard B2B message for exchange with trading partners. It supports the following message standards: OAG 7.2.1, OAGIS 10.1, and cXML 1.2.007.

The agent retrieves JSON from the selected REST resource and displays its attributes. You can follow the steps below to generate a new message:

  1. Download and review the mapping file that's used to convert the message.
  2. Modify the mapping to meet any specific requirements from your trading partners.
  3. Convert the message and review the results.
  4. Upload the modified mapping file to the message definition that's associated with the active connection for your message.

There are six tools provided as part of the message converter agent:

  • Fetch B2B Message Setup: Fetch B2B message setup details including the provider, message definition, and messaging standard.
  • B2B View Message Definition UI Deep Link: View the details of the message definition from B2B messaging setup.
  • B2B Download Output File: Download the output file that contains the converted B2B message.
  • B2B Download Mapping File: Download the mapping file used to convert the B2B message.
  • B2B Convert Message: Convert a B2B message into a specified format.
  • B2B View Message Log UI Deep Link: View the message details in B2B Messages.

The traditional approach of remapping output from a canonical B2B standard format, such as OAGIS 10.1, is now replaced by direct message conversion. Integrators have full access to data within the REST resource, without intermediate data loss or translation issues. They also have greater flexibility in mapping data to a target format.

Steps to Enable

You can access this functionality by enabling the feature Simplify Configuration and Processing for B2B Messaging.

You can use AI Agent Studio to use or copy a preconfigured agent template to create Agents for your business processes. To automatically add a suffix to all artifacts in your agent team, you can Copy Template instead of Use Template. When you copy a template, you're directly taken to the agent team canvas where you can edit the agent team settings, agents, tools, and topics. The Use Template option takes you through a step-by-step process for configuring each artifact in the agent team.

Access Requirements

To access the Oracle AI Agent Studio for Fusion Applications and manage SCM AI agents, users must be assigned a configured job role that contains these duty roles:

  • SCM Intelligent Agent Management Duty (ORA_RCS_SCM_AI_AGENT_MANAGEMENT_DUTY and ORA_RCS_SCM_AI_AGENT_MANAGEMENT_DUTY_HCM)
  • Fai Genai Agent SCM Administrator Duty (ORA_DR_FAI_GENERATIVE_AI_AGENT_SCM_ADMINISTRATOR_DUTY)

In the Security Console, filter by Roles and Privileges to find the SCM Intelligent Agent Management Duty role. Filter by Roles and Permission Groups to find the Fai Genai Agent SCM Administrator Duty role.

To interact with AI agents in product pages, users must be assigned a configured job role that contains this duty role:

  • Fai Genai Agent Runtime Duty (ORA_DR_FAI_GENERATIVE_AI_AGENT_RUNTIME_DUTY)

In the Security Console, filter by Roles and Permission Groups to find this duty role.

To allow users to interact with agents, you must also enable permission groups in the Security Console on those users’ configured job roles that contain the Fai Genai Agent Runtime Duty role. You can enable permission groups when you manage the basic information of your configured job roles.

Users’ configured job roles must also contain privileges that allow access to the pages where AI agents are enabled.
