2.1 Introduction

Integration of multiple applications and solutions is a key aspect of modern systems. Specialized applications deployed across different platforms and infrastructures require seamless communication and integration with Oracle Banking Trade Finance for data exchange. The Oracle Banking Trade Finance Integration Gateway, referred to as the Gateway in this document, addresses these integration requirements.

From the Gateway perspective, supported integration needs are broadly categorized as follows:

• Inbound application integration – Inbound application integration is used when an external system adds, modifies, or queries information within Oracle Banking Trade Finance.
• Outbound application integration – Outbound application integration is used when an external system receives notifications of events that occur within Oracle Banking Trade Finance.
