You can create an enterprise service record to receive
inbound data from an external system. On the enterprise service, you
can identify the data transformation and processing rules that the
integration framework uses to receive inbound data from an external
system.
Before you begin
Before you create and configure an enterprise service, use
the Object Structures application to configure the object structure
that you associate with the enterprise service.
