Inbound: Support for multiple Oracle E-Business Suite Instances

The ITM to Oracle Global Trade Management integration supports integration with multiple Oracle E-Business Suite instances. For example, multiple Oracle E-Business Suite instances can talk with a single Oracle Global Trade Management instance at the same time.

As discussed earlier, the mapping for all four flows is achieved by transforming the respective Oracle E-Business Suite XML to Oracle Global Trade Management XML. As such, each of the flows has a default XSL which implements this mapping.

With the concept of supporting multiple Oracle E-Business Suite instances to a single Oracle Global Trade Management instance, Oracle Global Trade Management indirectly supports having a separate set of XSLs per Oracle E-Business Suite instance. This provides immense flexibility in terms of:

  • A single Oracle Global Trade Management instance can be set up to receive inbound requests for Party Synchronization, Item Synchronization, Order Compliance, and Shipment Compliance from multiple Oracle E-Business Suite instances.
  • Oracle Global Trade Management provides 4 different XSLs for 4 different flows. By default, these XSLs store records in the GUEST domain. You could modify the XSLs to any domain which provides the ability to have records inserted.
  • Default mappings as provided in the field mapping section above have been coded in the respective XSLs. These can be customized as required to support your own custom transformations of Oracle E-Business Suite data to Oracle Global Trade Management fields.
