Application programming interface (APIs)

APIs are integration points that provide access to the rich business logic and features available in Application Platform to external systems.

APIs are used extensively in Application Platform for operations such as creating an order, adjusting inventory levels, and retrieving details of a shipment. The Application Console also calls APIs to retrieve data and perform updates.

User exits

Some APIs call user exits, which allow you to extend or override key business algorithms with Application Platform.

Services (Custom APIs)

The Service Definition Framework allows you to create custom APIs that are called through integration points or through the Application Console.

You can monitor APIs from the System Management Console. For more information refer the following topics:
