Attention: To align with new corporate security policies, and to match policies adopted by other communities within Oracle, the My Oracle Support Community access requirements will change beginning September 18, 2025. MOSC will now require that member accounts in our community be associated to a *corporate* email address. This means that users with generic domains (such as gmail.com, yahoo.com, and others) will no longer be granted access to the discussion forums and ideas labs. If this policy affects you, act now to change the email address that is associated with your Oracle (and community) account. Alternatively, you can opt to create a new Oracle account that uses your corporate email domain.

Flat file Integration

Standard Format for each of the document will be defined.

Standard Mapping between the document and the receiving sending application must be in place.

Whichever applications takes in or sends out this document must have developed a interface like API or a function to interact.

All such documents are placed in a defined repository where the APIs or equivalent will access and process.

Pros:

Flat Files integrations are cheaper solution in terms of cost if the source and target systems are fixed.
Low Cost Solution
Quick to develop

Needs FTP Infrastructure and SQL Loader licenses and Programming skills
