6 Create Application Integrations

You can create business object- or business event-based, application integrations. Application integrations can be request/reply or fire-and-forget types. Application integrations use Oracle BPEL Process Manager capabilities. Oracle BPEL Process Manager enables you to define how a business process that involves web services runs. BPEL messages invoke remote services and orchestrate the running of processes. When designing integrations, you can create multiple routing expressions.

Note:

Ensure that you optimize integration design. If an application integration contains too many actions (for example, there are 25 or more stage write actions), activation failure can occur. For example, split an integration with many actions into multiple integrations. See Troubleshoot Integration Activations and Common Integration Pattern Pitfalls and Design Best Practices.
