Integrated SOA Gateway (ISG) is an integrated component of E-Business Suite R12. ISG allows to expose EBS functionality(which includes XML gateway, Business Service Objects, Concurrent Programs, PL/SQL API’s, Business Events, E Commerce Gateway, Open Interface Tables/Views etc.) as a SOAP/REST WebServices.
To expose a PL/SQL package as a service interface, it is mandatory to annotate the package with standard annotation.
Below steps to be followed to expose a PL/SQL package as a REST interface.
• PL/SQL package is annotated with the standard annotation
create or replace PACKAGE XX_SAVE_EMPLOYEE AS
/* $Header: $ */
/*#
* This custom PL/SQL package can be used to insert employees
* @rep:scope public
* @rep:product per
* @rep:displayname XX_SAVE_EMPLOYEE
* @rep:category BUSINESS_ENTITY PER_EMPLOYEE
*/
/*#
* Save records in emp table
* @param c_id varchar2
* @param name varchar2
* @rep:scope public
* @rep:lifecycle active
* @rep:displayname save_employee
*/
PROCEDURE save_employee_PRC(c_id IN VARCHAR2,
name IN VARCHAR2);
END XX_SAVE_EMPLOYEE;
Preceded package contains a single procedure save_employee_PRC that takes two input parameters. This procedure is used to insert data(c_id and name) into the table.
Note: For PL/SQL packages, only the package spec should be annotated. Do not annotate the body.
• Create a .pls file and paste the above code in the .pls file. Move the .pls file to the EBS server via winscp or putty. In this case we will copy the file at $APPL_TOP/patch/115/sql
• Next step is to create an iLDT file (Integration Repository loader file) that we should use to upload to the Integration Repository. The file is created with a tool called Integration Repository Parser (IREP Parser), the tool will validate the file against the annotation standards.
• Run the below command to generate the iLDT file
[root@testmachine]$ $IAS_ORACLE_HOME/perl/bin/perl $FND_TOP/bin/irep_parser.pl -g -v -username=sysadminper:patch/115/sql:XX_SAVE_EMPLOYEE.pls:12.0=XX_SAVE_EMPLOYEE.pls
Note: If you are generating a new iLDT file for an already uploaded interface we need to add a higher version number then the last uploaded.
[root@testmachine]$ $IAS_ORACLE_HOME/perl/bin/perl $FND_TOP/bin/irep_parser.pl -g -v -username=sysadminper:patch/115/sql:XX_SAVE_EMPLOYEE.pls:12.1=XX_SAVE_EMPLOYEE.pls
If everything OK below would be the output of the above command
# Interface Repository Annotation Processor, 12.0.0
#
# Generating annotation output.
# Processing file ‘XX_SAVE_EMPLOYEE.pls’.
# Using YAPP-based parser.
# Found a package-level annotation for ‘XX_SAVE_EMPLOYEE’.
# Found a detail-level annotation…
# Found a procedure named ‘SAVE_EMPLOYEE_PRC’.
# Done all files.
Please Note: XX_SAVE_EMPLOYEE_pls.ildt would be generated.
• Next is used to upload the generated iLDT file to integration repository. Run below command to upload the iLDT file to integration repository
[root@testmachine]$ $FND_TOP/bin/FNDLOAD <db_user>/<db_password>0 Y UPLOAD $FND_TOP/patch/115/import/wfirep.lct XX_SAVE_EMPLOYEE_pls.ildt
Note: Replace the <db_user> and <db_password> with database apps user and password.
Above command will generate a .log file. Just tail the file and see the below success output
[root@testmachine]$ tail -500f L2602439.log

Altering database NLS_LANGUAGE environment to AMERICAN
Dump from LCT/LDT files
(/appl/fnd/12.0.0/patch/115/import/wfirep.lct(120.8.12020000.3), XX_SAVE_EMPLOYEE_pls.ildt) to stage tables
Dump LCT file

Dump LDT file XX_SAVE_EMPLOYEE_pls.ildt into FND_SEED_STAGE_ENTITY
Dumped the batch (IREP_OBJECT PLSQL:XX_SAVE_EMPLOYEE C , PARAMS 2 0 ) into FND_SEED_STAGE_ENTITY
Upload from stage tables

Concurrent request completed successfully
• Now create the package and package body in the database with the below script
Package
create or replace PACKAGE XX_SAVE_EMPLOYEE AS
/* $Header: $ */
/*#
* This custom PL/SQL package can be used to insert employees
* @rep:scope public
* @rep:product per
* @rep:displayname XX_SAVE_EMPLOYEE
* @rep:category BUSINESS_ENTITY PER_EMPLOYEE
*/
/*#
* Save records in emp table
* @param c_id varchar2
* @param name varchar2
* @rep:scope public
* @rep:lifecycle active
* @rep:displayname save_employee
*/
PROCEDURE save_employee_PRC(c_id IN VARCHAR2,
name IN VARCHAR2);
END XX_SAVE_EMPLOYEE;
Package body
create or replace PACKAGE BODY XX_SAVE_EMPLOYEE AS
PROCEDURE save_employee_PRC(c_id IN VARCHAR2,
name IN VARCHAR2) IS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO xx_test(id,name) values(c_id,name);
END save_employee_PRC;
END XX_SAVE_EMPLOYEE;
• Now, login into EBS console and Navigate to the Integrated SOA Gateway -> Integration Repository
• Enter the display name(XX_SAVE_EMPLOYEE) in Internal Name and click on Search button
• Click on the XX_SAVE_EMPLOYEE and switch to REST Web Service tab.
• Enter Service Alias: This would be the service name
• Select save_employee Checkbox and click Deploy button
Once successfully deployed, success message will be displayed
• Switch to Grants tab, select Checkbox and click on Create Grant button
• Select Specific User from the Grantee Type drop down and enter Grantee Name to give access to specific user to execute this service. Click on Create Grant button
• Once done, success message will appear on the screen
Now the PL/SQL has been exposed as a REST interface.
Click on View WADL link to see the REST endpoint.
We can test the REST service via POSTMAN tool. Below would be the endpoint of REST service.
