Product Hub Publication Job
Use the Product Hub Publication Job scheduled process to start or schedule publication of items, catalogs, item classes, and trading partner items.
As an administrator, you can publish data from Oracle Product Hub.
Publication of Product Hub content is configured using the Manage Spoke Systems task in the Setup and Maintenance Work Area. An administrator can control the details that must be published for the content. Each spoke system can be used for different publication jobs.
- Publish item, item class, catalog, and trading partner items. Any changes from the last scheduled run of the process is published in the next scheduled process.
- Publish all records for item, item class, catalog, and trading partner items, for the initial integration setup with other systems.
- Generate XML Schema (XSD) for the publication payload XML definition.
- Purge publication history.
When to Use
The process can be used to set up publications that are used for integration between Oracle Product Hub and other systems. The publication can be scheduled to run and provide content that has changed since the last time the process was scheduled to run.
