Integrate Oracle E-Business Suite with the business data catalog and SharePoint
The Microsoft Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) Line of Business (LOB) Adapter SDK includes the WCF LOB Adapter Service Development Wizard, which generates a WCF service for specific LOB artifacts. This WCF service is hosted in a hosting environment such as Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS). The Business Data Catalog Definition Editor uses the URL where the WCF service is hosted to get the Web Services Description Language (WSDL) for the WCF service. Using the WSDL, the Business Data Catalog Definition Editor extracts the methods available to the WCF service. These methods can be used to establish entities and the association between the entities.
The Business Data Catalog Definition Editor helps you create an application definition file (an XML file) that Microsoft Office SharePoint Server can consume. Once the application definition file is imported to Microsoft Office SharePoint Server, you can create Web Parts to present the information from enterprise applications. For more information, see “Creating Web Parts” in Step 3: Create a SharePoint Application to Retrieve Data from Oracle E-Business Suite in Tutorial: Present data from Oracle E-Business Suite on a SharePoint Site.
