We have the business process which includes many approvals and assignment of work to the people. But the customer wants the business data needs to be stored in EBS as a Service Request (Teleservice). Please help me to identify the solution approach for this scenario with BPEL.

1. How and where the business will be driven.
2. Where the approval matrix will be the best.

I think, YOu’re proposing AQ or EAI approach.

Thanks

Typically in real world, Interfacing via OIT and API is most easiest one, when you are dealing with similar system of database.

On the other hand , in some cases corporate policy enforce you to choose other options like middleware. I have worked for Healthcare client, they had a corporate policy to use Middle ware for all intergration work other application. This can be best understood rather than directly calling the receipt creation api , it should be triggered by Middle ware servics call to do the action.Typical example is POS based integration with Receipting or creating Item receiving in there central store.

Based out of my experince, airlines , banking Industry has lot to deal with middleware.

Options for Middleware is good, but it impart some cost in maintance.The alternate of this use AQ technique of Oracle.

This can be understood as: Customer has there own web based application of Order capturing, initial order is accepted by web based application, and you have around 1000+ orders/hr coming from Inet application, and you want to intergrate with oracle EBS for rest of functionality like Order fullfillment and logistic and same time you need to triger the information back to your web based application. Here is the case, of real time interfacing and stream of data is continouly coming in that case oracle AQ technique is one of best option you can use. The alternate of this is some Costly product like TIBCO, MQ series which has same purpose.

Oracle BPEL Process Manager is now part of Oracle new Fusion Technology.

>>>What Oracle products are required to do each of the different integration types?
Only in the case of Oracle BPEL Process Manager, you need oracle other product.

EBS will have OIT and API avaiable,no external product is required.
Middleware, you need to have third party tool , either you can use oracle Partner products or oracle certified vendor products.

AQ is Oracle technology, this is again no external product required rather you need to get use of some of API call to make things working. AQ is relativly as easy as Pl/sql to understand.

Hope this is answer of your question.
