Interface tables

The integration framework uses two sets of interface tables to exchange data between Maximo® Asset Management and Oracle E‐Business Suite. Interface tables are relational database tables that contain a flat (non‐hierarchical) representation of integration framework data.

Interface tables are an option for integration with systems that use database tables to exchange data. Interface tables are generated based on the definition of the object structure that is associated with an enterprise service or publish channel. Invocation channels, object structure services, standard services, and query operations do not support interface tables.

Data synchronization messages can be exchanged by using interface tables. Interface tables do not support the Query and Invoke operations.

A single external system can transfer outbound data by using either XML messages, interface table flat messages, or both. You can assign an endpoint value to an external system at the publish channel level.
