Overview
You can use external data integration services to load data into Oracle Fusion Applications from external sources, such as legacy
systems and third-party applications.
The integration process includes the following components:
Templates to structure, format, and generate the data file according to the requirements of the target application tables.
File-based load process to load the data file into the interface tables.
Application-specific data import processes to transfer data from interface tables to the application tables in your Oracle
Fusion Applications.
The following flow diagram outlines the steps involved in the process:

4 | USING EXTERNAL DATA INTEGRATION SERVICES
Integration Templates
Oracle Enterprise Repository includes integration templates to help you prepare external data for loading and importing. Each
template includes table-specific instructions, guidelines, formatted spreadsheets, and best practices for preparing the data file for
upload. Use the templates to ensure that your data conforms to the structure and format of the target application tables.
Preparing external data using templates involve the following tasks:
Finding templates and control files
Downloading templates
Preparing data using the XLS template
Finding Templates and Control Files

To find the templates and control files:
1.
Sign in to Oracle Enterprise Repository.
2.
Enter the following information in the search fields.

Field
Enter Search String
Type
Product Family
Value
FBDI
File Based Data Import
<product family>
3.
Click Search.
4.
Select your respective import process from the results pane. For example, Journal Import.
Downloading Templates
To download the templates:
1.
Use the search criteria to locate and select the import process.
2.
Click the Details tab on the lower pane to view the list of files.
Control files describe the logical flow of the data load process.
XLSM templates include the worksheets and macros for structuring, formatting, and generating your data file.
Note
You can use XML templates to import data into Oracle Data Integrator. For more information on using XML
templates to generate data files, see Appendix 7.
3.
Click the template link to download the file. For example, click JournalImportTemplate.xlsm in the Journal Import
process.
Preparing Data using the XLS Template

To prepare your data in a spreadsheet format:
1.
Open the XLS template. The first worksheet in each template provides instructions for using the template.
Important
If you do not follow the instructions, you will get data load errors and data import failures.
2.
Save the file.
3.
Click the Generate CSV File button.
The macro generates a comma-separated values (CSV) file and compresses the file into a ZIP file. You must transfer the ZIP file
to the content management server.
Template Structure
The integration templates include the following characteristics:
A separate worksheet represents each interface table.
A worksheet column with a header in the first row represents each interface table field.
Each column header contains bubble text or comments that include details about the column, such as the expected
data type, length, and in some cases, other instruction text.
Columns are formatted, where applicable, to match the target field data type to eliminate data entry errors.
The worksheet columns are in the order that the control file processes the data file.
Template Requirements
To minimize the risks of an unsuccessful data load, ensure the following:
Unused columns can be hidden, but they cannot be reordered or deleted.
Important
Deleting or reordering columns causes the load process to fail and results in an unsuccessful data load.
External data must conform to the data type accepted by the control file and process for the associated database
column.
Date column values must appear in the YYYY/MM/DD format.
Amount column values cannot have separators other than a period (.) as the decimal separator.
Negative values must be preceded by the minus (-) sign.
Column values that require whole numbers include data validation to allow whole numbers only.
For columns that require internal ID values, refer to the bubble text for additional guidance about finding these values.
After you finish preparing the data in the sheet, click the Generate CSV File button to generate a ZIP file containing one or more
CSV files.
For more information on using XML templates to generate data files, see Appendix 7.
Data Integration using Manual Flow

After you generate the ZIP file that contains the CSV data import file, transfer the ZIP file to the content repository.
Use any of the following methods to transfer the file:
File Import and Export page in Oracle Fusion Applications: Manual flow
Oracle Fusion Financials Utility web service: Automated flow
For more information on the Oracle Fusion Financials Utility web service, see the Flow Automation Web Service section.
File for Import and Export

Use the File Import and Export page to access content repositories. For example, each Oracle Fusion Applications instance
connects to a single Oracle WebCenter Content server for content management.
For more information about the use and administration of content management, see:
Oracle WebCenter Content Server User's Guide
Oracle WebCenter Content Server System Administrator's Guide
Using Content Management

Oracle Enterprise Repository provides the objects to upload and download, including templates for external data integration. For
general access to content management, including the metadata and manage accounts, use the Oracle WebCenter Content
Server's standard service user interface.
The following table provides additional resources for more information:

Managing Files for Import and Export

Import data or export data out of Oracle Fusion Applications using content and processes repositories. Integration specialists
stage data for import and export. Application administrators run processes to import data in the content repositories to the
application transaction tables, or retrieve data exported from the applications.
Managing files for import and export involve the following:
Using the File Import and Export page
Interacting with the content management server
Using the File Import and Export Page

The File Import and Export page enables you to upload or download content from the document repository of Oracle WebCenter
Content Management. The Search criteria section is limited to the minimum metadata of content management records needed
for file import and export.
To access the File Import and Export page:
1.
From the Navigator, click Tools.
2.
Click File Import and Export.
Interacting with Content Management

When you use the File Import and Export page, you are assigned to one or more accounts in the content management server.
These accounts organize and secure access to the content items.
Interaction between the File Import and Export page and Oracle WebCenter Content requires securing content in an account.
Oracle provides predefined accounts in Oracle WebCenter Content.
File import and export include the following concepts:
Security
Searching records
Accessing content in a new account
Account names
Deleting files
Uploading for import
Downloading for export
File size
Security
Use the File Import and Export Management duty role to access the File Import and Export page. This duty role is included in the
predefined role hierarchy for integration specialist roles and product family administrator roles.
The files in Oracle WebCenter Content Management are associated with an account. The users who have the access privileges
to a specific account can work with content items that belong to that account.
Note
You can only upload and download files to and from the content management that are associated with the accounts that you
are entitled to access.
Oracle WebCenter Content Management server does not support trailing slashes (/). Account names are appended with a dollar
sign ($) to ensure each account is unique. Account names are dynamic so that if they overlap (one name is completely contained
in another, longer name, such as US and US Sales), each account is considered as discrete by access grants. Security such as
virus scanning is handled by the underlying integrated content management.
Searching Records
A record in Oracle WebCenter Content Management contains metadata used to access the file. When you run a scheduled
process to completion on a file, the record for the file includes a process ID.
Accessing Content in a New Account

When you create a new account in Oracle WebCenter Content Management and the content server is not restarted, the access
to the content in the new account from the File Import and Export page is delayed until the policy store is updated.
Account Names
If you create custom accounts for importing or exporting data, use the following naming conventions for the account:
Do not include a slash (/) at the beginning or use a dollar sign ($) at the end, to avoid partial string matching.
Use a dollar sign and slash ($/) as a separator in the hierarchical structure.
The File Import and Export page transforms account names by removing the dollar signs ($). For example, fin$/journal$/import$
displays as fin/journal/import.
The Remote Introdoc Client (RIDC) HTTP Command-Line Interface (CLI) transforms the account name you specify without the
dollar signs ($) to one that includes them. For example, fin/journal/import becomes fin$/journal$/import$ in Oracle WebCenter
Content Management.
You must transfer files to these predefined accounts in content management that correspond to the interface table or assets. For
a list of the target accounts in each interface table, see Appendix 3.
You can create subaccounts to organize your files. However, you must create the account subordinate to the predefined account
for the asset you are integrating.
Deleting Files
You can delete one file at a time in the File Import and Export page. To delete multiple files simultaneously from the content
repository, use the standard service page in Oracle WebCenter Content Management.
Uploading for Import

To create a record, you must specify an account and the file. The account you specify determines which import process is used.
You can upload any file formats that can be parsed by the content repository, such as any MIME or content types. However, the
format uploaded must conform to the requirements of the import process, such as a CSV file for the Load Interface File for Import
process.
Downloading for Export

The export data processes create files in the content management. Records in the search results table of the File Import and
Export page provide links to the files for download.
File Size
Upload and download does not apply for the following:
1.
Data compression
2.
File chunking or splitting
The UPLOAD_MAX_DISK_SPACE parameter in the web.xml file determines the maximum allowable file size in the content
management. The default maximum size is 10240000 (10MB).
Load Interface File for Import Process

The Load Interface File for Import process loads external setup or transaction data from the data file on the content management
server to the interface tables. You run this process from the Scheduled Processes page on a recurring basis.
Before running this process, you must:
1.
Prepare your data file.
2.
Transfer the data file to the content management server.
The following table describes the parameters for this process:

Parameter
Import Process
Data File
Description
Select the target import process.
Choose the data file from the choice list.
Importing Data into Application Tables

The final destination for your external data is the application data tables of your Oracle Fusion application.
Importing data into application tables involves the following:
Loading data into interface tables
Finding and submitting the import process
Loading Data into Interface Tables

Interface tables are intermediary tables that store your data temporarily while the system validates format and structure. Run the
Load Interface File for Import scheduled process to load data from the data file into the interface table that corresponds to the
template that you use to prepare the data.
To load your data into interface tables, submit the Load Interface File for Import scheduled process using the following steps:
1.
2.
Click Scheduled Processes.
3.
Click the Schedule New Process button.
4.
Search and select the Load Interface File for Import job.
5.
On the Process Details page:

i.
Select the target import process.
ii.
Enter the data file name.
6.
Submit the process.
If the process is successful, the status is SUCCEEDED and the process populates the interface tables. If the process is not
successful, the status is ERROR. For more information on correcting load errors, see the Troubleshooting section.
Note
The data file remains in the content repository after the process ends.
Finding and Submitting the Import Process

To import your data into application tables:
1.
2.
Click Scheduled Processes.
3.
4.
Search and select the import process for the target application tables.
5.
On the Process Details page, select the process that corresponds to the data that you are importing. For example,
Journal Import.
6.
If you have prepared your data using the spreadsheet template, select the process shown in the Overview section of
the spreadsheet.
7.
Submit the process.
If the process is successful, the status is SUCCEEDED. The data in the interface tables is validated and the successful records
are imported into the Oracle Fusion application tables. If the process in not successful, the status is ERROR. For more
information on correcting import errors, see the Troubleshooting section.
Note
For more information on the process used for data prepared using the spreadsheet template, see the Instructions and
CSV Generation tab of the spreadsheet template.
Flow Automation using Web Service

A web service for Oracle Fusion Financials is an artifact that provides a standardized way of integrating other web-based
applications with Oracle Fusion Applications. This web service allows organizations to communicate with Oracle Fusion
Applications without application expertise. The FinancialUtilService web service provides external web service operations, such
as file upload operations to Oracle Universal Content Management (UCM), and service operations to submit ESS jobs from
external applications.
Internal Name: oracle.apps.financials.commonModules.shared.financialUtilService.FinancialUtilService

Troubleshooting
Correcting Data Upload Errors
If the load of the data file fails, the Load Interface File for Import process ends and shows an error. The Load File to Interface
child process ends as an error or warning. All rows that were loaded by the process are deleted and the entire batch of records is
rejected.
To correct errors::
1.
Review the error logs.
2.
Change any structural or formatting anomalies in the data.
3.
Generate the ZIP file containing the .csv files using the template.
4.
Upload the file to the UCM server and resubmit the Load Interface File for Import process.
5.
Repeat these steps until the process successfully loads all the data.
Correcting Import Process Errors

If the import process fails with errors:
1.
Review the errors in the import log.
2.
Correct the error records using the ADFdi correction spreadsheets.
For a list of import processes and their corresponding ADFdi correction spreadsheets, see Appendix 6.

Appendix 8: Using XML templates to Generate Data Files

Oracle Enterprise Repository includes XML integration templates that you use with Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) to generate the
import files from your external data. ODI provides a solution for integrating complex data from a variety of sources into your
Oracle Fusion Applications.
To use the XML templates and generate the import files, you must:
Install and set up Oracle Data Integrator
Create source and target models
Create integration projects
Note
For Oracle Cloud implementations, you must upload the ZIP file to the content management repository in Oracle Cloud. For
non-Cloud implementations, you can streamline the data integration process by installing the content management
document transfer utility, which uses ODI to transfer the ZIP file.
Installing and Setting Up Oracle Data Integrator

To use the XML templates for generating the import files:
1.
Install Oracle Data Integrator.

For more information about installing Oracle Data Integrator, see Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for
Oracle Data Integrator.
2.
Set up Oracle Data Integrator.

For more information about setting up Oracle Data Integrator, see Oracle Fusion Middleware Developer's Guide for
Oracle Data Integrator.
Creating Source and Target Models

Create the ODI models for both the source and target datastores. You determine the source models based on the system or
technology of the external data that you to import into your Oracle Fusion application. Create the target models by importing the
XML files that you download from Oracle Enterprise Repository.
For more information on creating a reverse engineering a model, see Oracle Fusion Middleware Developer's Guide for Oracle
Data Integrator.
Configuring Integration Projects

Create and configure an integration project by selecting the knowledge modules, creating the interfaces, and mapping the source
and target datastores.
For more information on creating an integration project, see Oracle Fusion Middleware Developer's Guide for Oracle Data
Integrator.
Opening the XML Template

To prepare your data in Oracle Data Integrator, download the XML templates using the following steps:
1.
Import the family-level template as a model folder.
2.
Import the product-level template as a model folder within the family-level model folder.
3.
Import the product template as a model within the product-level model folder.
4.
Create the integration project.
5.
Create the package.
6.
Add and configure these elements:
7.
Integration projects
ODIZip tool
Content management document transfer utility
Execute the package. The package generates the CSV file and compresses it into a ZIP file.
Using XML Integration Templates to Generate Data Files

Use the XML templates in the Oracle Data Integrator to prepare your external data for the load and import process.
Oracle Enterprise Repository includes three types of XML templates that you import as target models in your Oracle Data
Integrator repository:
Family level
Product level
Product
Family-Level XML Files

A family-level XML file is common to a group of product-level model folders and product models.
To use family-level XML files, consider the following points:
The family-level XML file supports all of the Oracle Enterprise Repository assets in the family, for example, Oracle
Fusion Financials or Oracle Fusion Human Capital Management.
Import the family-level XML file into your Oracle Data Integrator repository prior to importing other XML files.
Import one family-level XML file as a model folder for each family of products.
Import each family-level XML file as a top-level model folder.
Import the family-level XML file one time; it supports all subsumed product-level model folders.
Select the Synonym mode Insert Update as the import type.
Product-Level XML Files

A product level XML file is common to a group of product models.
To use product-level XML files, consider the following points:
The product-level XML file supports all of the Oracle Enterprise Repository assets in the product line, for example,
Fixed Assets, General Ledger, or Payables.
Import one product-level XML file as a model folder for each line of products.
Import the product-level XML file as a model folder into your Oracle Data Integrator repository.
Import the family-level XML file before you import product XML files.
Import each product-level XML file as a midlevel model folder within the appropriate family-level model folder.
Import the product-level XML file one time; it supports all subsumed product models.
Select the Synonym Mode Insert Update as the import type.
Product XML Files

A product XML file represents a specific Oracle Enterprise Repository interface table asset.
To use product XML files, consider the following points:
Import one product XML file as a model for each interface table or set of tables, for example, MassAdditions.
Import the product XML file as a model into your Oracle Data Integrator repository after you import the product-level
XML file.
Import each product XML file as a model within the appropriate product-level model folder.
Import each product XML file one time.
Select Synonym Mode Insert Update as the import type.
The model is based on File technology.
After you import the product model, connect the model to the correct logical schema.
Creating Integration Projects That Generate Data Files for Import

When you use Oracle Data Integrator to generate the import data files from the external data sources, you must configure an
integration project.
Integration projects are collections of ODI components that provide the procedural details of an integration from a source to a
target. The source is your external data and the target is the import data file that you load and import into your Oracle Fusion
Applications.
To create your integration project, you configure the following components:
Knowledge modules
Integration interfaces
Knowledge Modules
Knowledge modules contain the information that Oracle Data Integrator requires to perform a specific set of tasks against a
specific technology or set of technologies. For example, check knowledge modules ensure that constraints on the sources and
targets are not violated, and integration knowledge modules load data to the target tables.
Knowledge modules that you import into your integration project depend on the source and target technologies, as well as other
integration specific rules and processes. Multiple types of knowledge modules exist in ODI. Use the SQL file to append module to
create the import data file.
Integration Interfaces
Integration interfaces contain the sets of rules that define the loading of data from one or more sources to the target.
For the integration interfaces:
The source is the datastore from your external data model.
The target is the interface table datastore, which is the CSV file from your interface table model.
After you set up the source and target datastores, you map the target fields to the source fields, or map source field values to
target fields or constants.
