Interfaces and conversions procedure

Data can feeded in 3 ways

1. The Data can be entered using the application Screens.

2.The data can be entered using Oracle’s Open System Interface.

3. The data can be stored in the database table directly

Conversion An overview of its process

(Inbound Process)

1. Get data from legacy system Called Flat file.

2. Load the flat file data into temporary table called staging table using sqlloader

(control files are used .ctl extensions)

3. Validate the data in staging table using pl/sql procedures to define rules of validation.

4. Successful Validation rakes up the data to the interface tables.

5. These Validate data can be directed to base tables using predefined Seeded programs.

(Outbound process)

 
outbound Interface Process:
=============================

1)Develop the PL/SQL Program (Either Procedure or Package)

2)Write the Cursor to retrieve the data from database tables.

3)Create file or Open the File by using UTL_File.fopen().

4)Open the Cursor

5)If any validations are there write the validations

6)Transfer the Data into File by using UTL_File.Put_Line().

7)Close the Cursor.

8)Close the File by using UTL_File.fclose();

9)Register the Procedure or Package as Concurrent Program and submit from SRS Window.


We will use following three functions to generate the file.

1)Utl_File.fopen     = To open (or) Create the file
2)Utl_File.Put_line  = To Transfer the data into the File.
3)Utl_File.fclose    = To close the File after Data transfer.


Difference Between Conversion and Interface

1. Conversion is one-time process 1. Interface is the post production

which is performed once before process.

production go on live.(Pre-production process)

2. Data comes in to Oracle Applications 2. Interface is the integration of

only (One way process) two systems.

3. Interative Process 3. Scheduled and repetive process.

 

Open Interface Tables are standard Oracle tables.

-Oracle uses OITs to provide a simple interface to Oracle base tables.

-Oracle has list of all the open interface that oracle offered in there product.

Interface Program



- It is an inbuilt program in most of the modules to pull up the data from the interface table

Under validations sends data to base tables,if validation fails Displays data to Error a error message
