We provide here some details about the Oracle E-Business Suite Adapter for Enterprise Content Management (Managed Attachments Solution):
The Oracle E-Business Suite Adapter for Universal Content Management (UCM) allows E-Business Suite users to attach, scan, and retrieve attachments stored in a UCM Content Server repository. A UCM repository enables users throughout an enterprise to view, collaborate on, and retire content, ensuring that content is secure, accurate, and up-to-date.
With this adapter, UCM documents are listed as managed attachments to E-Business Suite forms in a customizable screen launched from the E-Business Suite Zoom menu. For example, an E-Business Suite user displays an Employee record, invokes the Managed Attachment functionality, and attaches a passport image and supporting identity documents.
