types of integration in Oracle's eBusiness Suite

Oracle's eBusiness Suite was cobbled together by many different hands and there are numerous ways to undertake integration.

• synchronous PL/SQL api calls is an example
• another approach is to use the "open interface" which entails putting stuff into a database table called "interface" which will later get picked up by a process (a "concurrent program") and validated and then imported if validation goes well (If you log into Oracle E-Business Suite as the system administrator you should be able to pick "Integrated SOA Gateway" from the home page then Integration Repository from its submenu and then you should be able to get "a complete catalog of Oracle E-Business Suite's Business Service interfaces.")
