You have been tasked with developing an interface to AR and you’ve never used Oracle’s Auto Invoice before. What do you do? Unfortunately, at one time I was in this situation. Though I knew the concepts of the process, the real time implementation involved a lot of challenges. The following is for those who have never interfaced invoices through Auto Invoice. My goal is to provide an overall understanding of the process and pitfalls that one should be aware of.

Interfacing with Oracle Projects – An Introduction

Author: Jonathan LeBlanc Date: May 17, 2011 4:00:55 AM

Categories: E-Business Suite

Throughout my many years of Application Interface development, I have grown to love designing and implementing custom Oracle interface processes. No matter how many times you develop an Order Management Interface or Suppliers conversion, no two are alike. One particular module that has landed on my favorite’s list is Oracle Projects. What a cross-combination of items: customers, employees, assignments, locations, accounting and of course the Projects module objects themselves. With Projects you have Templates, tasks, budgets, expenditures, costing and billing, just to name some of the key aspects. Developing conversion and interface processes for this module has become a specialty of mine.

This will be the first in a series of blogs on Oracle Projects, as I pass on the major features for developing custom interface processes into Projects. The first interface I will detail, utilizes standard Oracle Project API’s, to create and update Project records. In subsequent blog entries, I will describe how to interface expenditure data to projects using Oracle’s standard Projects Interface table.

Having logged over 10-years of Oracle Applications development, specializing in interfaces, conversions, and extensions, I have learned a thing or two on how to successfully design, build, test, and implement custom application processes.

Informatica vs. ODI for ETL

Author: Stephen Goldsmith Date: May 2, 2011 12:12:26 PM

Categories: Oracle Business Intelligence

A key component to a Business Intelligence (BI) architecture is the Extract, Translate and Load (ETL) process. The ETL process is typically scheduled on a nightly basis and is responsible for moving data from one or more source systems into a data warehouse. In early data warehouses, ETL was typically performed by custom-developed programs and scripts. Over the past twenty years, ETL development has matured into configurable tools. Two common tools used with Oracle Business Intelligence include Informatica Power Center and Oracle Data Integrator (ODI). While these tools have similar features, there are considerations that can be used to identify the correct tool for a particular Business Intelligence environment.
