The system for each business object within the view of their business provides a stable, scalable and easy to use mechanism for access to data from other systems.
Open interfaces and import tool provides an ideal way to handle large amounts of data to insert, update, or delete business objects (in a kind of asynchronous form).
PL / SQL API provide a method of real-time, full dealing with a business object of a single environment.
All the integration does not require any back-end customization and maintenance of different versions and to ensure the consistency of an integrated investment. Oracle of the APIs is based on the database server layer, it is easy to access data from other systems, as long as other systems to support and relational database. This means that customers can choose a large number of integration technology.
Oracle's new 9i Application Server (Oracle9iAS) provides a new, built-in integration capabilities, including business process management, EAI and B2B integration. Oracle9iAS to provide customers with a standard integration points, and excellent multi-faceted integrated solution that allows companies to virtually any application system, the leading B2B communication standards and service standards have emerged out of WEB integration.
Oracle excellent, proven integration technology has been used for a large number of companies and the SAP system integration.
In the software development
A mainstream trend in the software industry is a closed system to open system changes. Closed hardware and software scalability, total cost of ownership and support capability, they are very bad. The basic technology is still in fact SAP is ABAP (an SAP development of unique technology that can be traced back 70 years), indicating that SAP had missed the mainstream of development technology over the past decade. SAP has begun to realize this point, taken a number of urgent measures to catch up with the times.
Even in the new product which, for example, CRM 3.0, Business Warehouse and corporate buyers are using hybrid technology. CRM 3.0, is a mixture of ABAP at the application layer, in the display layer is known as the SAP Business Services page (Business Server Pages, BSP), BSP is a unique development from the JSP, is used to interact with the ABAP components.
Giga company said: "Although SAP statement 'supreme open integration', SAP CRM products are still based on the R / 3 platform, SAP and when re-development of end-user interface using JSP, the leading SAP CRM There are three different development environments the traditional ABAP, J2EE and development of field sales and service system of the VB ".
SAP has recently referred to the release of J2EE, JAVA, can be misleading, because this release does not constitute a product. In Gartner's technical summary of which pointed out: "These late 2002 and early 2003, plans for integrated projects must evaluate the products released, but you must compare features and existing programs and maturity (" those planning integration projects in late 2002 and early 2003 should evaluate the announced products but should compare their features and maturity with established solutions "), Gartner clearly aware of these technologies are still in early childhood, requires a lot of development work.
Giga also said: "SAP's my SAP HR products are based on complex and unique R / 3 architecture. More application logic is written in ABAP with the unique needs a very experienced and skilled experts to maintain or modify the program code. SAP is evolving through the use of J2EE to a more modular and development structure. However, these reforms took a few years, the product of the HRMS only a very limited impact. "
In another inside a report, Gartner said, "the lack of JAVA support, limits the ability of SAP to provide integrated connectivity, in the ERP II strategy. At present, 4.6 does not support Java Database Connectivity (JDBC), Enterprise JavaBeans (EJBs), Java Server Pages (JSPs) and other JAVA open standards. However, in November 2001, SAP announced the planned J2EE support, providing an option for an open ABA) environment and BAPIs. J2EE until mid-2002 still does not appear However, the gradual adoption of the follow-up may take longer. "
In comparison, ORACLE E-Business Suite is entirely the use of open standards technology development, both in the server layer or in the middle layer. ORACLE development tools are commercial tools, and independent of E-Business Suite in addition, has a broad base of engineers. This enables customers to ORACLE from among the millions of engineers to easily find their required skills.
Oracle 9iAS, Oracle has released a world-class application server, many users believe that the market than any one application server that's okay. Oracle 9iAS has a strong mature J2EE, JAVA and WEB services support. Oracle 9iAS is the crystallization of ORACLE developed a few years. By comparison, SAP's efforts in this area is very small, there is little proven value.
