Overview of Collaboration Messaging Framework

You can use Oracle Fusion Collaboration Messaging Framework to enable your Oracle Fusion applications to establish business-to-business (B2B) message exchanging capabilities with your customers or suppliers.

Using this framework, you can send and receive real-time transactional B2B messages. You can exchange messages directly with your customers or suppliers or by using an intermediary such as a B2B service provider. Collaboration Messaging Framework can receive B2B messages from trading partners or service providers through Oracle B2B, an e-commerce gateway that enables the secure and reliable exchange of business documents between an enterprise and its trading partners, or directly using SOAP web services that are available to consumers. For more information, see Collaboration Messaging Web Service.

Collaboration Messaging Framework supports transformation of a B2B document, such as a purchase order, between the Oracle Fusion applications format and a message format supported by your customers or suppliers. When you send messages to partners or receive messages from them, the framework performs the required transformation.

The configuration and setup tasks you need to perform depend on the business process that you implement B2B message exchange for and whether or not you use a service provider.
