SOAP Services

You can use SOAP services to import and manage data in Oracle Fusion Cloud Transportation and Global Trade Management in near real time.

Format

XML.

Key Features

• This is currently the most commonly used integration option.
• Supports large payloads.
• Data typically flows from external systems.

Best Practices

• If back-end systems are Oracle Fusion Applications, use the available Previously Built Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC) Recipes for integrations.
• If back-end systems are external or third-party applications, you still would use OIC, or any other middle tier, for data-making and transformation.

Constraints

• The larger the payload, the longer it takes to process. Avoid adding many transactions to a single payload.
• A SOAP service call can experience a 504-gateway timeout if a request runs for more than 5 minutes. The OIC timeout is also 5 minutes.
