Overview of the Architecture

You can use these suggested architectures to guide you through the design and implementation of your integrations.

Use Cases

These use cases serve as examples of how you might architect and implement an integration with specific requirements.

Synchronize Item Information with On-Premise Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Systems

In this use case, you're using Oracle Fusion Cloud Product Lifecycle Management as the item master and you need to synchronize items with customers' on-premise ERP systems for transactions. The synchronized information contains core item information such as descriptions, units of measure, and operational attributes. Other information, such as trading partners and global trade item numbers (GTINs), are also included.

Synchronize Item Information with E-Commerce Applications

In this use case, you're using Oracle Product Lifecycle Management as the item master and you need to synchronize items with e-commerce applications. The synchronized information contains item information such as descriptions, units of measure, product classifications, product characteristics, and GTINs.

Process Overview

This flow diagram shows the steps you take when designing and implementing the use cases.

Details of these steps are described in these topics:

• Create a Spoke System for Each Integrating Application
• Generate an XML Schema Definition for Deployed Data Models
  • Run the Product Hub Publication Job Scheduled Process for the First Time
  • Run the Product Hub Publication Job Scheduled Process Subsequent Times When Needed
• Download the Files from Oracle WebCenter Content

Before You Begin

Ensure that you've set up the item data model in Oracle Product Lifecycle Management. See Item Specifications and Attributes for more information.
