  1. Multi-Instance EBS to OTM Integration How to setup and operate multiple EBS instances to a single OTM instance Deepak Morey & Bhavesh Panchal Deloitte Consulting India Pvt. Ltd. Dec 9, 2011

  3. Introduction

  4. Standard EBS-OTM Integrated Environment The standard integration between EBS and OTM consists of the following applications and supports a single-domain configuration.

  5. Limitations with current configuration • Hardware costs • Redundancy • Business Limitations

  6. Multiple EBS Instances to a Single OTM Instance Integrating multiple instances of EBS (or any ERP) to a single instance of OTM can overcome the mentioned limitations.

  7. Functional Benefits of Multiple Domains for Shippers and Logistics Providers • Integrate with multiple customer’s order management systems • Allows for different workflows within different business operations • Provides security to limit visibility from one customer to the next • Allows transportation and trade to separate itself from the ERP strategy • Utilize GTM across multiple divisions of the same corporation • Single source of transportation and trade across business units

  8. Single Instance EBS Configuration Review

  9. Oracle EBS Setup EBS System Profiles define the behavior of EBS. In terms of OTM, they identify specific instance and domain EBS will be connected to. There are two types of profiles to set up here, WSH Profiles and OTM Profiles. • The WSH: BPEL Domain name defines which BPEL domain will talk to EBS. • Defines the domain in OTM that will receive information from EBS. • This is the integration user name password at the domain level for OTM. • This is the integration user name id at the domain level for OTM.

  10. BPEL Configuration The BPEL domain configuration contains BPEL processes which will be interacting with EBS and OTM. Each BPEL process is code which transforms the data between EBS and OTM. There are multiple BPEL processes which perform specific tasks.

  11. OTM Configuration OTM External Systems defines the external systems that OTM will send data. For SOA, the external system defines the BPEL process to which it sends data.

  12. Multiple Instance EBS Configuration

  13. Multiple Domain Application Overview Multiple instances of EBS will be connected to OTM via SOA. The configuration will require multiple domains within SOA and OTM.

  14. EBS System Profile Modifications Modify the EBS System Profiles to point to each BPEL Domain and OTM Domain. EBS Instance 1 is pointed to OTM Domain 1 and BPEL Domain 1 EBS Instance 2 is pointed to OTM Domain 2 and BPEL Domain 2 EBS 1 EBS 2

  15. SOA Integration Modifications There are required modifications at the SOA level to enable the integration from multiple instances of EBS to a single instance of OTM. Oracle SOA Suite Enterprise Manager Create two JNDI names, one for each Oracle EBS Instance BPEL Domain 1 All the BPEL processes should refer JNDI 1, to connect to database of EBS 1 BPEL Domain 2 All the BPEL processes should refer JNDI 2, to connect to database of EBS 2

  16. BPEL Modifications Ensure the following BPEL processes are configured properly to ensure integration between the correct EBS instance to the associated OTM domain. WshReceivePShipmentFromOtm- Should point to specific EBS JDNI to update planned shipment from OTM for the deliveries. WshSendDlvyToOtmService - Should point to specific EBS JNDI to get the delivery information from the EBS. WshSendItemRefDataToOtm - Should point to specific EBS JNDI to get the item information from the EBS. WshSendLocRefDataToOtm - Should point to specific EBS JNDI to get the location information from the EBS. WshSendRefDataStlToOtm - Should point to generic OTM web service for sending carrier information to OTM. WshSendTripToOtmService - Should point to specific EBS JNDI to get the Actual Trip information from the EBS. WshSendTxnToOtmService - Should point to generic OTM web service for sending delivery/actual shipment information to OTM. Additional BPEL processes based on custom requirements 

  17. OTM Configuration Configuring OTM to integrate to multiple instances of EBS will vary depending on the reasons for the architecture. Shippers integrating a single instance of OTM to multiple ERP production environments. Shippers integrating a single instance of OTM to multiple non-production ERP environments. 3PL’s integrating a single instance of OTM to multiple customer ERP environments.

  18. Integrated Solution Diagram for Shippers with Multiple ERP Instances in Production - Service providers, locations, orders and shipments in the sub domain. - External systems for outbound integration pointing to the proper BPEL domain should be in the sub domain EBS Prod 1 Common configuration of rate offerings, rate records, and power data can be setup in the master domain. EBS Prod 2

  19. Integrated Test Solution Diagram for Shippers with a Single ERP Instance - All the master data should be mirrored in both the domains EBS Dev EBS QA

  20. Integrated Solution Diagram for 3PL’s • - Service providers, locations, orders and shipments in the sub domain. • - External systems for outbound integration pointing to the proper BPEL domain should be in the sub domain Common configuration of rate offerings, rate records, and power data can be setup in the master domain.

  21. Scalability, SOA 11g and Additional Considerations

  22. Scalability of Solution More than two EBS instances can be integrated with a Single OTM instance on a single SOA Suite. The limit of total EBS instances that could be integrated depends on the hardware capacity of servers on which the SOA Suite and OTM applications are installed. Could be scaled for the integration on clustered environment of SOA and/or scalability enabled environment of OTM with the following changes: Set the URL of SOA Suite and/or OTM instance in round robin based load balancing with a physical load balancer at the entry. The URLs do not change in the case of content switch based load balancing. The load is distributed from the first server based on the incoming/outgoing traffic dynamically.

  23. Extending this approach from 10g to 11g 11g offers more capabilities to improve this approach. There are two ways to achieve this on 11g Have two managed servers each server having the same composites but pointing to two different JNDIs from two managed servers Utilize two partitions in the same managed server having the same composites but pointing to two different JNDIs from two partitions Customization is required on EBS concurrent requests to point to composites.

  24. Additional Considerations Outages of the SOA Suite will result in downtime of all the integrations for all the EBS instances. Proper care should be taken in customization/deployment of BPEL processes as they are different for different domains in SOA Suite. Performance impact on SOA suite during heavy load of transactional processing. This is generally not a problem because in this approach we will not be mixing PROD integration with DEV or TEST integration.

  25. Never mix integration of PROD with DEV or QA EBS Prod EBS QA
