Description of the illustration merch-logical-arch.png

This image illustrates the logical architecture employed to set up SSO between Azure AD and Oracle Access Manager for Oracle E-Business Suite. This architecture consists of three logical tiers and the components that comprise these tiers.

At the top of the image is a small box that represents a web browser. Within this box is a smaller box representing the Application Development Framework, labeled ADF. This box is interconnected by a double-headed arrow to a large box, rendered as a dotted line and labeled Azure Tenancy, its contact point being a box labeled Application. The arrow passes through a horizontal line the width of the image labeled Web Tier.

Within the Azure Tenancy box are two smaller boxes and four icons. The icons represent these components:
  • External and On-Premise Integrations
  • SFTP
  • Identity
  • Azure Active Directory (AD)

The two smaller boxes are both labeled Application. One box contains the Retail Integration application. The other box, the larger of these two, contain a box labeled Core—comprised of still smaller boxes representing the Retail Merchandising System and Retail Price Management applications—and one labeled Optional, comprised SFTP of still smaller boxes representing the Retail Invoice Matching and Retail Allocations aapplications.

These components are all connected by double-headed arrows, as follows:
  • The External and On-Premise Integrations icon is interconnected to the SFTP icon and to the smaller box labeled Application. The contact point for the arrow here is the box representing the Retail Integration application.
  • SFTP is interconnected to the Retail Integration application and the Core box within the larger Application box.
  • The Retail Integration application is interconnected with the Retail Merchandising System application.
  • The Identity icon is interconnected to the large Application box and to the Azure AD icon.

The Azure Tenancy box is connected by a double-headed arrow to a smaller box below it labeled OCI Tenancy. The contact point for this connection is between the larger Application box in the Azure Tenancy layer and a box within the OCI Tenancy box labeled RAC Database and containing two smaller boxes, labeled Merchandising PDB and Integration PDB, respectively. The connecting arrow is labeled FastConnect.
