XML Gateway Overview
XML Gateway
$%& today i will tal' briefly about (racle )*+ ,ateway as component of (racle !pplications. -his is only
indented to be a conceptual introduction and for the complete details you must refer to the user guide or
appropriate metalin' note. )*+ ,ateway is a tool that facilitates the communication between the (racle .
business suite and third party applications or trading partners in the form of well formatted )*+ messages.
)*+ ,ateway ensures that both business to business /020) and !pplication to !pplication/!2!)
re1uirements are met. 2urther )*+ ,ateway ensures that the messages that are generated or consumed are
compliant with the standards set by the (pen!pplications ,roup. 3ou can find more information on these
standards at http://www.openapplications.org (racle )*+ ,ateway wor's with (racle 4or'flow to consume
events raised and generate )*+ messages. -hese messages are further propagated using (racle !dvanced
1ueuing technology and (racle -ransport agent/(-!). %nbound and outbound messages are managed in 1ueue
table using (racle !dvanced 5ueuing. -he (-! is used to deliver messages to a trading partner over $--6
or $--6s. !n (-! servlet running with (racle !pplications is also responsible for receiving inbound
documents sent by the trading partner.(racle )*+ gateway can be considered as a form of .7%& whereas in a
normal .7% transaction the operation happens in a batch in case of )*+ gateway the message are more real
time as they are based of events.
(racle )*+ gateway ma'es use of the uses 4eb 8ervices 7escription +anguage /487+) to facilitate trading
partners to communicate with (racle !pplications. -rading partners can use third party web service tools to
call the web services publish by your (racle !pplications.%t also uses the 9ava *essaging 8ervice/9*8) to
send messages between (racle !pplications and trading partners.
!t the core of (racle )*+ ,ateway lies the execution engine& this is responsible for interacting with other
oracle technologies li'e (racle 4or'flow etc to consume and generate messages between trading partners as
in the case of a 020 communication.
(racle )*+ ,ateway supports the 8*-6& $--6& $--68& 9*8 transport protocols for message delivery and
consumption.
(racle )*+ ,ateway uses the *essage 7esigner to define message maps& message maps are re1uired to
specify the data source and data target for the document. 3ou can also use *ap creation wi:ards that are
provided for this purpose.
-he message designer and wi:ard is a client software which is re1uired to be installed separately on the client
6;s.
*essage map files have a .xgm extension. *essage maps that are created on the loacle /client system have to
be loaded to the middle tier !66+_-(6.
-he java +oad*ap and java 7elete*ap are used to load and delet message maps on the middle tier server.
%ts important to note that before you crate your message maps for your document you must ensure that the
document conforms to the 7ocument -ype 7efinition/7-7).6re defined 7-7 are installed and loaded in the
<!66+-(6 of the middle -ier. 3ou can however load custom 7-7 that you can define using the (racle
*essage 7esigner to the middle tier as well as modify existing 7-7 and delete existing 7-7.
-he 7-7 files are created with the .dtd extension.
-he java 7elete7-72rom;lob and java +oad7-7-o;lob are used for deleting and loading 7-7s
respectively.2or complete syntax and example to load and delet 7-7s refer to the (racle )*+ ,ateway users
guide.
3ou can use the (racle !pplications responsibility =)*+ ,ateway esponsibility= to define trading partners
and transactions.
%n releases 11.>.? onwards )*+ gateway is distributed as a part of !(+ and does not re1uire to be licensed or
installed separately. 2or prior releases )*+ ,ateway can be installed by applying patch 2@@A?1A.
-he metalin' note 1>2??>.1 contains full instructions for installing and configuring (racle )*+ ,ateway.
3ou can verify your )*+ gateway installation byu executing the following s1l script
85+B <.;)_-(6/patch/11>/s1l/.;)-.8-.s1l
this will create a (C-nnn.xml if the installation and configuration of )*+ ,ateway is successful.
Overview of OA Frame wor!
(racle !pplications 2ramewor' /(! 2ramewor') is the (racle !pplications development and deployment
platform for $-*+Dbased business applications.(! 2ramewor' consists of a set of middleDtier runtime
services and a designDtime extension to (racle#i 97eveloper called (racle !pplications .xtension. (racle#i
97eveloper with (! .xtension /(! .xtension) is a world class 92..Dbased integrated development
environment
(! 2ramewor' is designed around the simple *odelDEiewD;ontroller /*E;) architecture -he *E;

1oncept of Oracle 7orflow
! wor'flow consists of numerous processes reprents business process flows and information..ach wor'flow
process contains a set of activities&notifications&6+/85+ stored procedures or another sub process
7orflow 1omponents
it contains " major components.
1.wor'flow 0uilder
provides a graphical user interface for creating and maintaing definations.
2.wor'flow .ngine
is the component that executes and enforces the defined wor'flow process
F.wor'flow *onitor
;omponent of oracle wor'flow that allows you to review the state or status
@.wor'flow 7efinitions +oader
is the component that allows you to download or load wor'flow definitions to and from the date base or test
files.
>.Gotification 8ystem.
the notification mailer is a program that concurrently sends emails and receive responses.
". wor'flow 7irectory 8ervices
wor' flow 7ir services is the component that identifies the directory repository.
4or' flow 2unctions are stores in 6+/85+ procedures there is a standard !6% format for all stored procedures
function variables.
%temtype DDB! category of items that share the same set of attributes.
item'eyDDB ! uni1ue 'ey identifier within the same item type for specific item passing
actid DDDB the uni1ue identifier of the activity that calls this stored procedure.
esultDDB the result of the stored procedure can be
;omplete:esult_code
7.2..7:date
.(:.rror_code
Gotified:notification_%d
4aiting
-he format of stored procedure declaration will be
6(;.7C. your_procedure/
itemtype in varchar2&
item'ey in varchar2&
actid in number&
funcmode in varchar2&
result out varchar2) %s
in funcmode variable to execute codes that correspond to the CG&;!G;.+ and -%*.(C- modes.
A2Is
inside the stored procedure you must use wor'flow .ngine !6%s to communicate with wor'flow engine. !ll
wor'flow .ngine !6%s present inside the 42_.G,%G. pac'age.
!6%=8 inside the 42_.G,%G.
8et%tem!ttr-ext set the value of a text item attribute.
8et%tem!ttrGumber set the value of a number %tem attribute.
8et%tem!ttr7ate set the value if a date item attribute
,et%tem!ttr%nfo ,et type information about an item attribute
;reate6rocess create a new rntime process for an item
