A new certification was released simultaneously with the E-Business Suite 12.1.3 Maintenance Pack late last year: the use of BPEL 11g Version 11.1.1.2 with E-Business Suite 12.1.3. There are two major options for SOA-related integrations for the E-Business Suite:
Custom integrations using the Oracle Application Server (SOA) Adapter for Oracle Applications
Prebuilt SOA integrations for E-Business Suite using BPEL Process Manager
For more background about these two options, please see this article:
OPTION 2. Using prebuilt E-Business Suite 12 BPEL business processes Five E-Business Suite Release 12 product teams have developed their own prebuilt BPEL business processes:
Oracle Price Protection (DPP)
Complex Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul (CMRO/AHL)
Oracle Transportation Management (WMS, WSH, PO)
Advanced Supply Chain Planning (MSC)
Product Information Management (PIM/EGO)
For the five products listed above, prebuilt BPEL processes have been certified with Oracle BPEL Process Manager 11g version 11.1.1.2 (in Oracle SOA Suite 11g). These prebuilt BPEL processes are certified with Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1.3 and higher. Note: The Supply Chain Trading Connector (CLN) product team has opted not to support BPEL 11g with their prebuilt business processes previously certified with BPEL 10.1.3.5. If you have a requirement for that certification, I would recommend contacting your Oracle account manager to ensure that the Supply Chain team is notified appropriately. For more information about using the prebuilt R12.1.3 SOA integrations, see:
