Oracle XML and e-Commerce Gateway
Oracle XML Gateway provides a common, standards-based approach for XML integration between the Oracle E-Business Suite and third party applications, both inside and outside of your enterprise.

As a provider of broad based business application solutions to support all industries, Oracle XML Gateway supports all DTD based XML standards. The majority of the Oracle prebuilt messages delivered with the Oracle E-Business Suite is pre-mapped using the Open Application Group (OAG) standard. Any Oracle prebuilt message map may be re-mapped to your standard of choice using the XML Gateway Message Designer.

EDI transactions and XML messages are two forms of electronic messaging based on their respective standards. EDI transactions are more batches oriented while the XML counterpart is event-based, real-time, and tend to be based on a single transaction.

1. Oracle XML Gateway integrates with the Oracle E-Business Suite to create or consume XML messages based on application business events. Oracle XML Gateway creates or consumes standards compliant XML messages without the use of a translator.
2. Oracle e-Commerce Gateway provides a common, standards-based approach for EDI integration between the Oracle E-Business Suite and third party applications. Oracle e-Commerce Gateway integrates with the Oracle E-Business Suite to extract or import ASCII flat files. A third party EDI Translator is required to map the flat file data between the Oracle E-Business Suite and the EDI standard of choice such as ASC X12 or EDIFACT.
