Develop your Oracle E-Business Suite applications

Overview

The Microsoft BizTalk Adapter for Oracle E-Business Suite is a Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) binding. Client applications can consume the Oracle E-Business adapter to invoke operations on Oracle E-Business Suite artifacts. The Oracle E-Business adapter can be consumed:

  • Through a physical port binding in a BizTalk Server solution.

  • By invoking methods on an instance of a client proxy.

  • By sending SOAP messages over a channel instance in code that uses the WCF channel model.

BizTalk vs WCF service vs WCF channel

The following table:

  • Lists the different operations that can be performed on Oracle E-Business Suite using the Oracle E-Business adapter.

  • Provides links to the topics containing information about performing the task using the chosen approach (BizTalk Server, WCF service model or WCF channel model).
