Posting Data to OTM using HTTP request

Any external system like EBS, SAP can frame this XML structure programatically and ‘POST’ this xml to OTM Integration servlet: glog.integration.servlet.WMServlet

Below is an PLSQL program posting Location element to OTM:

DECLARE

-- This is OTM Application URL Where string after GC3 is replaced as shown below
v_chr_url VARCHAR2(1000) := 'http://OTM-SERVER:7777/GC3/glog.integration.servlet.WMServlet';

-- This is OTM USER from which transmission needs to be created
v_otm_user VARCHAR2(100) := 'DBA.ADMIN';

-- This is password for the OTM USER
v_otm_pwd VARCHAR2(100) := 'CHANGEME';

-- You can programtically form the xml string and pass it to this variable
v_data_in VARCHAR2 (10000);
v_http_req UTL_HTTP.req;
v_http_resp UTL_HTTP.resp;
v_chr_resp_val VARCHAR2 (3000);

BEGIN
-- This is a sample transmission that creates location (Shipment Management -> Location Manager) in OTM
-- Note that in the Transmission Body, GLOGXMLElement chosen here is Location.
-- By choosing appropriate element, you can load required data.
-- In this script file, you see XML structure to send location information.
-- You can get this structure by referring the GLOGXML.xsd
-- Navigation to fetch this from OTM:
-- 1. Login in to OTM using DBA.ADMIN user
-- 2. Business Process Automation -> Integration -> Integration Manager -> GlogXML.xsd

UTL_HTTP.set_transfer_timeout (1000);
UTL_HTTP.set_detailed_excp_support (ENABLE => TRUE);

-- Invoking the Web Service.
v_http_req := UTL_HTTP.begin_request (v_chr_url, 'POST');

-- Set the HTTP request headers
UTL_HTTP.set_header (v_http_req, 'content-type', 'text/html');
UTL_HTTP.set_header (v_http_req, 'content-length', LENGTH (v_data_in));

-- Write the data to the body of the HTTP request
UTL_HTTP.write_text (v_http_req, v_data_in);

v_http_resp := UTL_HTTP.get_response (v_http_req);

Note: If you have multiple integrations to be built from an external system to OTM to load data coming in different formats like EDI, text files, etc. you should typically go for a middleware tool like Oracle SOA(BPEL), Webmethods etc. to translate these files from various formats to the XML format defined by the GlogXML schema.
