Integration Repository
The Oracle Integration Repository is a compilation of information about the service
endpoints exposed by the Oracle E-Business Suite of applications. It provides a
complete catalog of Oracle E-Business Suite's business service interfaces. The tool lets
users easily discover and deploy the appropriate business service interface for
integration with any system, application, or business partner.
The Oracle Integration Repository is shipped as part of the E-Business Suite. As your
instance is patched, the repository is automatically updated with content appropriate
for the precise revisions of interfaces in your environment.

provides information to help you build your custom Oracle Forms Developer forms so
that the forms integrate with Oracle.
xiii
otherwise instructed.
Oracle provides powerful tools you can use to create, store, change, retrieve, and
maintain information in an Oracle database. But if you use Oracle tools such as
SQL*Plus to modify Oracle Applications data, you risk destroying the integrity of your
data and you lose the ability to audit changes to your data.
Because Oracle Applications tables are interrelated, any change you make using an
Oracle Applications form can update many tables at once. But when you modify Oracle
Applications data using anything other than Oracle Applications, you may change a
row in one table without making corresponding changes in related tables. If your tables
get out of synchronization with each other, you risk retrieving erroneous information
and you risk unpredictable results throughout Oracle Applications.
When you use Oracle Applications to modify your data, Oracle Applications
automatically checks that your changes are valid. Oracle Applications also keeps track
of who changes information. If you enter information into database tables using
database tools, you may store invalid information. You also lose the ability to track who
has changed your information because SQL*Plus and other database tools do not keep a
record of changes.

Introduction to Telecommunications Billing
Integrator
• Integration with multiple billing systems: TBI can integrate with multiple
heterogeneous billing applications simultaneously.
• Status Tracking: TBI integrates with the Oracle Collaboration History to monitor
communication between EBS and the billing applications. TBI uses Collaboration
History to:
• Support integration with multiple heterogeneous billing systems. TBI uses
Collaboration History to determine if each of the billing application has
successfully created accounts and orders. It checks the account messages and
sales order messages in Collaboration History.
• Ensure that order information is published to billing systems only after each
billing system has successfully created a party and account.
• Track the status of each message that is published to the external billing
application.
• Display bill summary and bill image: TBI provides access to the bill summary data
through Oracle Contact Center. The Bill Summary UI displays the bill summary for
a single account number. The customer service agents can view the bill summary
from the 'Bill Summary' option in Oracle Contact Center. The bill number provided
in the bill summary UI is linked to the image data supplied by the billing
application. To enable the 'Bill Summary' option in Oracle Contact Center, see
Setting up Bill Summary UI, page 3-13.
• Account Update
• Item/Product
• Sales Order
• Changes are made to features (example: number of rings before voice mail is
activated)
In the TSO solution, each order line includes a provisioning action, an item (example:
service, feature, price package, one-time charge, recurring charge), pricing, address, and
other information. The billing system requires all the information in the order. TBI
publishes an XML message for each sales order line, to the billing system after each
order line is fulfilled (provisioned).
Enhancements
The enhancements in this release are:
• Creation of a Grouped Sales Order message that includes all the lines of an order.
Note: Group sales order and sales order line messages are mutually
exclusive.
• oracle.apps.ar.hz.BillingPreference.update
• BILL_FORMAT
• BILL_LANGUAGE
• BILL_TYPE
• BILL_CURRENCY
• Ship To Contact of the Order Line: Include the Ship to Contact details
• Periodicity Details of the Order Line: Include periodicity details to indicate how
often a service is charged.
Implementation Considerations
Consider the following implementation points before implementing Oracle TBI:
• TBI with TSO, page 2-1
Middleware in TBI
TBI integrates with any middleware that has a native AQ or JMS adapter. TBI has been
tested and certified with Oracle Applications InterConnect (OAI 9.0.4). For details, see
Configuring the Middleware., page 3-23
Implementation Tasks
Implementing Oracle TBI involves the following:
1. Setting Up XML Gateway, page 3-3
6. Setting Up and Running the Item Publish Concurrent Program, page 3-19
Defining a Hub
A hub is defined as an integration point within your network.
Navigation: Oracle XML Gateway Setup > Define Hubs.
Notes
Name: Enter 'XNB_HUB'.
Protocol Type: Select JMS. This value identifies the type of messages that are passed
through the hub and provides a method for inbound and outbound agent listeners to
filter the messages from a common queue. If this value is not available in the LOV, it
must be enabled for the XML Gateway. To enable the values:
1. Select XML Gateway Setup > Define Lookup Values.
3. Locate the lookup value with code 'JMS' and enable it.
• Hub entity code values for the various billing applications must be
same as the key value from BSR.SENDER.COMPONENT.
Defining Transactions
Internal transactions are used by the XML Gateway Execution Engine. Internal
transactions are associated with the trading partner in the trading partner setup. Each
internal transaction is associated with a number of external transactions that participate
in the integration.
For more information about defining transactions, see the Oracle XML Gateway User's
Guide.
Navigation: Oracle XML Gateway Setup > Define Transactions.
Notes
Queue: The standard inbound queue used in TBI is APPS.ECX_IN_OAG_IN. The field
is disabled for outbound messages. Default queues are defined during installation.
Standard Code: Select 'OAG'.
Transaction Type: This is the product short name for the base Oracle Application. Enter
'XNB', which is the product short code for TBI.
Transaction Subtype: This refers to particular transaction within the application
specified by the Transaction Type. The last letter of the code represents the direction of
the transaction, that is, "I" for inbound and "O" for outbound. The combination of the
Transaction Type and the Transaction Subtype identifies an Oracle transaction with
which the message is associated.
External Transaction Type: Enter a primary external identifier for the XML message.
External Transaction Subtype: Enter a secondary external identifier for the XML
message.
Attribute Value
Transaction Subtype AO
Attribute Value
Attribute Value
Attribute Value
Transaction Subtype IO
Attribute Value
Lookup Types
Note: After updating the lookup values, bounce the Apache server on
the environment only if the values are not reflected in the Collaboration
Setup UI.
4. Accessing the Bill Summary UI from Oracle Contact Center, page 3-16
XNB: Bill Image Specifies the source of the image displayed on the bill. The values are:
Source
• Application: The source of the bill image is application specific.
The billing application provides the URL to the bill details and the
bill summary.
• File System: The bill image can be retrieved from the file system.
XNB: Bill Image Specifies the location of the bill image in the file system. 'XNB: Bill
Location Image Source' must be set to 'File System'. The path specified must be a
relative path accessible to the application web server.
XNB: Bill Image Specifies the format of the bill image. This value is used as the file
Format extension for the image name, which is same as the bill number. For
example: gif, jpeg.
Steps:
1. Query for 'Menu' to identify the root level menu attached to the responsibility.
2. Navigate to Application > Menu. Query for the menu identified in the previous
step.
• From the Menu Entry list, select 'SpecialXX'. XX represents the number that is
not used by any other entry.
• To separate menu items with a line, enable Render Line Before Menu.
5. Create another function. Name the function 'OA Bill Summary Page' or as
appropriate.
Integrating Workflow Process for Publishing Sales Order Information involves the
following:
1. Defining Sales Order Line Profile Values, page 3-18
• ALWAYS: Account information in the sales order line is published till all the billing
applications (in case of multiple Billing Applications) send a confirmation BOD
with status SUCCESS to the Oracle E-Business Suite.
• ONERROR: Account information in the sales order line is published only if a failure
confirmation BOD with status ERROR was sent by at least one of the billing
applications and that billing application has not sent a confirmation BOD with
status SUCCESS in the past.
XNB: Items Batch File Location Name of the folder in which TBI generates the
Inventory Items Batch file (XML or CSV). The
file is generated by the Item Batch Export
Concurrent Request. This is required if the
XNB: Items Batch Message Type profile value
is set to CSV Batch File or XML Batch File.
The following table lists the seeded values for Item Batch Export concurrent program.
Name Value
Executable XNB_ITEMS_PUBLISH
2. Publish the details in a real time asynchronous mode using Item Publish Flow
'XNBFLOWS.ITEM_PROCESS'. TBI uses the workflow process to publish the
item/product information.
For both options, use the Item Batch Export concurrent program. Select the items that
need to be published based on the parameters of the concurrent program which initiate
the item publish flow. Only the items that are invoiceable
(INVOICEABLE_ITEM_FLAG = N) by the external billing applications are published.
Select the TBI Administrator responsibility to submit an item publish request.
Navigation: Requests > Submit Request.
Notes
Request Name: Select 'Telecommunications Billing Integrator Items Publish'.
Billing Application: Name of the hub entity code of the billing application.
From Date: Publishes all items updated between the from date and the current date.
Inventory Organization: Inventory organization of the items to be published/exported.
Inventory Category Set: Inventory category set of the items to be published/exported.
Inventory Category: Inventory category of the items to be published/exported.
Supported Events
The following table lists the supported events.
2. Install Oracle 9iR2 database version 9.2.0.2.1 or higher on the hub machine. Use
Oracle Database Configuration Assistant to create an empty database instance to
serve as the hub repository. Set the following parameters:
• HOST: SID: PORT information for the new database instance.
• Passwords for system and users for the new database instance.
3. Install Oracle Applications InterConnect Hub version 9.0.4.0.1 on the hub machine.
The OAI Hub must be installed in a separate Oracle Home. Provide the following
details:
• Hub DB Parameters: Provide the Host/Port/SID information.
• Schema Names: Default name for the OAI hub repository schema is
'oaihub904'.
• Spoke Application Database User and Password: User name and password to
connect to the Application Spoke DB.
• Consumer: WF_JMS_OUT
2. After installation, ensure that the aq_bridge_owner parameter in the adapter.ini file
is set to the schema name in the Spoke DB (Example: "APPLSYS").
• aq_bridge_owner: The name of the schema to which the AQs in the spoke
database belongs. This value should be set to a valid schema name before the
adapter is started.
• agent_pipeline_from_hub = false
• agent_log_level = 0
6. To start an adapter service, run the following script from the console:
<OAI_HOME>/oai/9.0.4/adapters/<ADAPTER_NAME>/start
7. To stop an adapter service, run the following script from the console:
<OAI_HOME>/oai/9.0.4/adapters/<ADAPTER_NAME>/stop
<OAI_HOME>/oai/9.0.4/adapters/<ADAPTER_NAME>/logs/<latest_ti
mestamp>/oailog.txt
2. If the repository service stops, run the following script to start the repository
service:
<OAI_HOME>/oai/9.0.4/repository/start
3. If the adapter service stops, run the following script from the console to start the
adapter service:
<OAI_HOME>/oai/9.0.4/adapters/<ADAPTER_NAME>/start
Procedure: INSERT_ROW_BATCH
The INSERT_ROW_BATCH procedure is used to insert new bill summary records from
external billing applications into Oracle E-Business Suite.
Syntax: XNB_BILL_SUMMARIES_PKG.Insert_Row_Batch(p_api_version,
bill_summaries, x_return_status, x_msg_data);
The following table lists the parameters for the procedure.
• S: When the
operation is a
success.
• E: When the
operation is not a
success due to a
known error.
Procedure: UPDATE_ROW_BATCH
The UPDATE_ROW_BATCH procedure is used to update existing bill summary
records from external billing application into Oracle E-Business Suite.
Syntax: XNB_BILL_SUMMARIES_PKG.Update_Row_Batch(p_api_version,
bill_summaries, x_return_status, x_msg_data);
The table below lists the parameters for the UPDATE_ROW_BATCH procedure.
Mandatory attributes
Optional Attributes - -
This appendix provides information on the message maps and DTDs for Oracle XML
Gateway.
This appendix covers the following topics:
• Maps and DTDs Overview
• Loading and Deleting Maps
• Loading and Deleting DTDs
Note: The names of message maps are based on the internal names of
the map and have an .xgm extension. For example, the file name for
TCA Account Publish Map is
XNB_TCA_ACCOUNT_OAG72_OUT.xgm.
• oagis_extensions.dtd
• oagis_fields.dtd
• oagis_resources.dtd
• oagis_segments.dtd
To delete the DTD associated with a map, run the following command:
$ java oracle.apps.ecx.loader.DeleteDTDFromClob <uname> <passwd>
host:port:sid <dtd_name.dtd> <root_element> <runtime_location>
2. Data Area (DATAAREA): The data area contains the business specific data that is
being communicated by the BOD. This area defines the actual business object, such
2. OM Sales Order
3. Inventory Item
There is only one inbound BOD for TBI. This is the ConfirmBOD (CBOD). The CBOD is
used by the billing application to return the status of processing the outbound BODs.
Note: The DTDs for BODs must be used along with the OAG based
DTDs to define the business objects in the messaging middleware. The
OAG based DTDs are modified to include extensions for TBI.
Outbound Messages
The outbound messages publish information on the Oracle E-Business Suite objects,
such as customers, products, sales orders, and so on to the external billing applications.
Messages are delivered to the Outbound AQ: XNB_JMS_OUTBOUND queue and are
picked up by the middleware adapters from the queue.

HEADER.APPID Application Id
HEADER.GROUPID Group Id
HEADER.PROPERTIES Properties
Field Value
ECX_MESSAGE_TYPE XML
ECX_MESSAGE_STANDARD OAG
ECX_TRANSACTION_TYPE BOD
ECX_TRANSACTION_SUBTYPE CONFIRM
Inbound Messages
Inbound messages contain acknowledgements for the published messages or
information on the bill summary.
The Confirm BOD message generated by a billing application is another BOD and
follows the OAG definition for a BOD. This message contains a control area as well as a
data area.
• The DATAAREA.CONFIRM_BOD.CONFIRM.CNTROLAREA
field should contain the control area of the message being
confirmed. For example, if a CBOD is confirming a TCA account
message, this field should contain the control area of the account
message. The SENDER.REFERENCEID field is used by the XML
Gateway to identify the message being confirmed. The control area
of the message being confirmed can be copied exactly in this field.
