Oracle Retail Bulk Data Infrastructure (BDI)

Batch (Bulk) data is still a predominant integration style within Oracle Retail and its customers. The movement of bulk data remains important because some work is best suited to being performed in bulk. Batch processing was there in the early days; it is still here today; and it will still be here tomorrow. What has changed is the approach to batch processing.
