Public Business Events Using Oracle Integration Cloud

A public business event is an outbound integration option supported by many Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Chain (SCM) & Manufacturing applications.

Business events are raised at appropriate lifecycle phases by application and can be subscribed to in Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC) to integrate with third-party applications in an asynchronous model.

This diagram shows the integration between Public Business Events and the Oracle Cloud Platform.

Key Features

  • Used only for outbound integration.
  • Public events support near-real-time integration requirements.
  • The public event payload contains specific information about the event. You can use callback services to retrieve more information from Oracle Cloud SCM.

Best Practices

  • Most public business events aren't generated by default and must be enabled. Consult individual product guides to see which objects support public business events and how to enable them.
  • Public business events can handle low-to-medium integration data loads and are suitable for scenarios where there are fewer than one thousand business events in an hour.
  • Having a reconciliation strategy in place is important in case some events are missed because, generally, missed events can't be generated again.

Constraints

  • Not suitable for large volumes of data.
  • Many Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications don't raise business events during bulk creation/update of business objects. Consult each product integration guide for information about which objects support the business event and in what scenario.
  • Business events can be subscribed to only in Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC). Customers can't use any other third-party platform for business event integration.

Additional Information

It's important for you to be aware of this information:

  • There are other integration options that OIC supports. An example is defining schedule-based integration. You can define a schedule for running orchestrated integrations, such as the frequency at which to run the integration, if the schedule run should never expire, if the schedule should have a fixed expiration date, and so on. As part of these integrations you can use different adapters like SOAP services or REST APIs for integrating with Oracle Fusion Applications.

    OIC also supports Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) integration, which is the best option to use to receive or send files.

  • You can also use Oracle ERP Cloud Adapter within Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC) for importing bulk data using file-based data import (FBDI) into Oracle Fusion Cloud Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP). The adapter streamlines the process of connecting to Oracle Cloud ERP, enabling seamless data exchange and automating business processes across your cloud and on-premise applications. For more information, see Oracle ERP Cloud Adapter Capabilities.
  • OIC might limit of total number of active integrations running on single instance. If you're hitting this limit, please work with Oracle Support to discuss the possibility of increasing the limit.
