Bulk Processing With Oracle Application Integration Architecture

Integrations are often separated between loosely coupled SOA integrations and direct system-to-system integrations that involve transferring large loads of data from one application to another. For many companies, movement of large loads of data constitutes mission critical transactions. Hence Bulk-processing is a key element of a comprehensive SOA Strategy. Oracle Application Integration Architecture allows them to use both loosely coupled and direct integrations to solve their data integration needs. This paper describes the techniques and patterns used to implement large volume bulk-processing integrations while supporting the larger SOA infrastructure. Through the use of Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) they create highly performant, high volume batch data-integrations with cross-referencing support that is reusable for all SOA integrations.
