Enterprise integration requires connectivity to a broad range of systems, including technology and packaged application systems. Oracle9iAS Integration provides out-of-box connectivity to many of these systems. These adapters are certified, sold and supported by Oracle.
In addition a number of partners support the Oracle 9iAS Integration adapter interface and offer compatible adapters.
These partners include;
IWAY
Jacada

Standards Based Connectivity for Rapid Deployment
Oracle’s Adapter Framework interface is based on JCA Oracle has extended the interface to overcome limitations in the specification.
The enhanced JCA interface allows a user to browse the available interactions in the target system (both send and receive) and import them as events in the integration scenario.

To stay out of jail, what does the CFO need?
Currently the CFO may sit in the head office, where she may pretty much know what is going on. From her chair there at the head office, she may see somewhat into the domestic operations, depending on how large and complex they are, and she may have some idea of what is going on at the overseas offices. But, the thing is, she needs to know absolutely, clearly what is going on: “pretty much”, “somewhat”, and “some idea” just won’t cut it. She needs to see her control system in an uncomplicated manner, from her office out to every shipping dock and inventory location, every rep’s company car, every location the company has anywhere in the world.
When you have a variety of applications from a variety of vendors implemented locally and strung together by an integrator, your visibility to and confidence in one, consistent, dependable internal control systems is obstructed and weakened.
In this particular diagram, we show you a scenario where seven different product sets have been deployed/implemented. Stipulating that it will be challenging enough to fully understand and certify the internal controls implicit in one vendor’s product set, imagine how hard (and expensive) it will be to understand and certify 7 different internal control systems
It will be harder than ever (impossible?) to attest to an effective system of internal control in this scenario.
Oracle eBusiness Suite global single instance will address these issues. However, if there are any residual applications outside the Oracle eBusiness suite global instance, then the compliance is still limited, since the data needs to be moved across systems using many different mechanisms. This leads to the problem of establishing internal controls of the multiple integration points. Has the JD Edwards data been properly mapped into Hyperion? When was the data exchanged and was it sent to the right application? Was the data sent to the trading partner illegally tapped en route by some other party?
