Data flows between the Oracle EBS system and the Identity Vault by using the Publisher and Subscriber channels.
The Publisher channel does the following:
Reads events from the Oracle EBS system on the server that the driver shim is connecting to.
Submits that information to the Identity Vault.
The Subscriber channel does the following:
Watches for additions and modifications to the Identity Vault objects.
Makes changes to the Oracle EBS system to reflect those changes.
Through the use of filters and policies, the driver can be configured to control and manage what changes are detected and sent to the Oracle EBS system.
The driver uses SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) to exchange data between Identity Manager and a Web service. SOAP is an XML-based protocol for exchanging messages. It defines the message exchange but not the message content. The driver supports SOAP 1.1. SOAP follows the HTTP request/response message model, which provides SOAP request parameters in an HTTP request and SOAP response parameters in an HTTP response.
