Overview of Integration Types and Options
Several integration types and options are available in an Oracle Fusion Cloud Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) integrations.
Integration Types
These integration types are available in Oracle Cloud PLM.
Inbound
In this integration, product data is sourced from external systems and uploaded into Oracle Product Hub and Oracle Product Development, which is considered the single source of truth.
Outbound
In this integration, the data stored in Oracle Product Hub and Oracle Product Development considered the single source of truth, is disseminated to various external systems.
End-to-End
In this integration, Oracle Product Hub and Oracle Product Development might propagate data and receive data updates from external systems in an orchestrated manner in a single transaction. You can build a well-coupled, end-to-end automated process by stringing the inbound and outbound integration processes and leveraging the business events and APIs with the Oracle Integration Cloud functionalities.
- Oracle Product Hub publishes product data of Item-A to an external system, which in turn generates its own matching Marketing-SKU-ID-A.
- The external system feeds the Marketing-SKU-ID-A back to Oracle Product Hub so that the Marketing-SKU-ID-A becomes the Item Cross Reference attribute value for Item-A.
