Integrator Description

• Wizard based UI to create Integrator

• Define Integrator related properties,parameters and function based

security rules

• Note – Only Enabled Integrator will be available for use in the business

flow

• Security Rules –

• User can define function based security rules for integrator

• End users




Integrator Description contd..

• Integrator Parameters

• Depending upon Business needs user can define set of parameters that can be used by

integrator at run-time• Upload & Server Parameters : to define upload page displayed to end user and for back-end

service while uploading data to EBS

• Importer Parameters : to define rules for importing data from interface tables to base tables

• Documents Parameter:to define input values to be taken from end user while creating the

document

• Session Parameters : to define values to be retained with the document for the session

Interfaces in Integrator Description

• Interface: Definition of Table or PL/SQL API (Procedure, Function) usedfor uploading data into Oracle E-Business Suite

• User can Create, Update, Delete Interfaces

• Interface Attributes: Describe the columns/ parameters of Interface

tables/ APIs and how data for these should be validated

• Interface Attributes are automatically generated for selected Interface• User can add custom Interface Attribute

• User can set Interface Attribute properties:

• Default Value of Type – Constant, SQL Query, Environment Variable,

Lookup, Parameter, Profile Option

• Validation Rules – Table, Java, Group Validation and Flex Field• Display Text and other properties which determines whether Interface

Attribute is enabled, mandatory, displayed, used to retrieve error message




Interfaces in Integrator Screenshot




Interfaces in Integrator Validation• Table Validation

• Validate field against values in a column of table based on condition

(during Upload)

• Retrieve List of Values by attaching Component (in Excel document)

• Java Validation

• Provide List of Values for a field in document

• Validate field against complex business rules by extending java

classes

• BneBaseSQL – SQL Java class contains all of the SQL queries required

for LOV and upload validation

• BneUploadValidator- Validator Java class that contains all the business

logic for Java validation

• BneAbstractListOfValues – Component Java class that contains all thebusiness logic and setup information for generating list of values for Java

page document (if used for Java Validated LOV)




Interfaces in Integrator Validation Cont’d.. • Group Validation

• Used to validate different interdependent fields as group or to

validate a set of fields as a group at once

• Require user to indentify a parent field and multiple dependent fields

• Flexfield Validation

• Key Flex field and Desc Flex field Validation and LOV retrieval

• Identify KFF Segments and Parent Key flex field.Associate KFF

Structure code

• Identify DFF Context & Segments and Parent Desc flex

field.Associate DFF Structure code

• Other data integrity validation during upload – data types,column

width,not nulls, etc

• Pop-list (For offline users) and calendar are other validation

provided in the document

Contents in Integrator Description

• Contents:• Definition of the data that can be downloaded from Text File, or SQL Query

into document

• Define Multiple Content for Integrator:

• While creating document end-user can select a content to extract data

• Seeded text content is available for integrator (cannot be deleted)• Content Attributes:

• Represent the column/ field that exists in Text File or SQL Content

• Automatically generated.

• Content Parameters:

• Represent any input values required for execution of SQL Query

• While creating document, depending upon selected Content, end-user will be

prompted for these inputs




Contents in Integrator Screenshots




Layouts & Mappings of Integrator Overview - Recap

• Layout:• Describe the Interface Attributes/ columns that will be displayed in

desktop application document, and where they will be displayed

(Context-Header/ Header/ Line)

• Use style-sheet to define format

• Define default values for columns (Constant, Environment Variable,Lookup, SQL)

• It is mandatory to define at least one Layout for an Interface

• Define custom look and feel & properties for the Desktop Document

• Mapping

• Link the Content Attributes (that will be downloaded into document)and Interface Attributes (into which the data will be uploaded)

• For Reporting Only Contents, you need not define Mapping. For rest

of the Contents, it is mandatory to define Mapping.
