Industries Framework Common

Industries Framework

CX Industries Framework serves as a platform for seamless integration of applications. You can use this platform to integrate your application with other Oracle applications and third-party applications, which includes cloud services and on-premise systems. In addition, you can leverage data from various sources, use TM Forum Open APIs and REST APIs to configure and extend tailored experiences.

CX Industries Framework supports both synchronous and asynchronous interactions between the integrated applications. It hosts all the TM Forum Open APIs on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure API Gateway to secure and optimize the API interactions. It also ensures high availability and resiliency by using the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Load Balancing service.

Configure API Timeouts

You can configure API-level timeouts for the read operation. This avoids unnecessary delay caused by slow or unresponsive client applications.
