Overview of Integration Types and Options
Several integration types and options are available in an Oracle Fusion Cloud Maintenance integration.
Before You Begin
Before starting any integration project, you should analyze your business processes and assess the options that make the most sense for your organization. The first step is to evaluate the asset and maintenance processes supported within Oracle Maintenance. You should have a compelling need to use your internal system to integrate with Oracle Maintenance. It's also recommended to review and evaluate the partner solutions listed in Oracle Cloud Marketplace that provide previously built and curated solutions to complement your current deployment of Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Chain (SCM) & Manufacturing applications to meet your business or industry-specific requirements.
After your integration needs are established, you must analyze the following:
- Asset objects and their attributes in Oracle Maintenance.
- Maintenance planning and execution objects and their attributes in Oracle Maintenance and Oracle Fusion Cloud Manufacturing.
- Frequency and volume of information that needs to be synchronized.
- Integration mode: Synchronous vs. Asynchronous.
- Error handling and recovery.
You can use Oracle Help Center to find information on the integration assets that are available for specific objects and processes across Oracle Fusion Cloud, including those related to Oracle Cloud SCM and Oracle Manufacturing.
