DEMONSTRATION Extend E-Business Suite to Mobile with Oracle Mobile Platform


Architecture: Mobile Order Management App for EBS

ADF Mobile

EBS

SDK

for

Java

ADF Mobile

Secured Web

App

Secured SOA

Web Services

• App login using EBS credentials

• Connect to EBS via SOA

• OSB for REST

• Secure via EBS SDK, OWSM

• Integration with device services


Meet Charlie Brown

Sales Manager at Summit, a sports goods

manufacturer

Mobile worker, always on the road to meet

with customers (retail stores)

Access to EBS Order Management data

from mobile device

– Retrieve customer/order data

– Create EBS orders

Always on the go!


Solution Highlights

Ease of development

– Same code can be deployed on iOS/Android

– Use native device features (location services,

contacts, email)

Non-intrusive

– No change to E-Business Suite

No change to security model

– Logins re-used, identity propagated

– Authentication/Authorization
