Oracle Integration Cloud Services includes the new Orchestration pattern which may allow the execution of the business process and Run Time activities (Long Running).

This section mainly tries to show, how to load some data from the FTP location to the Oracle ERP cloud with the help of the trigger file mechanism. It also has the ability to unzip or to decrypt the file.

How This ERP Cloud Adapter Works?

• In this integration data from the secure FTP or the central OIC for Orchestration and then it is uploaded to ERP cloud.
• The OIC can operate the Orchestration flow for pulling the trigger file and it also has the capability through which they unzip or decrypt the file.
• The Zip may contain multiple files and also each file may have multiple records due to which each loop is needed to process.
• Each file transforms the data into an ERP file and when the new ERP file is ready, it is uploaded to the ERP Cloud Adapter in OIC.
