XML and Integrating with an ERP (Back-end)

Overview

Back-end integration (for example, with an ERP system) is most often achieved using a third-party integration tool, usually referred to as middleware. The bulk of back-end integration is accomplished by exchanging XML data between Oracle CPQ and the ERP system. There are 2 types of back-end integration:

ClosedOutgoing XML

This refers to all XML sent from to the partner server and from the partner server it is sent to the ERP system.

Outgoing XML process flow


ClosedIncoming XML

This refers to all XML sent from an ERP system to the hub and from the hub it is forwarded to the application.
