Uncontrollable problem of file exchanges

Proliferation of FTP servers & clients

No central control on exchanges of sensitive information

No global visibility

Not integrated with enterprise security standards: FTP servers are rarely integrated with directories

Single points of failure: FTP servers rarely offer HA capabilities

Lack of control, visibility, security & reliability

– Event driven file delivery, batch, scheduled, large files …

• Manage Hybrid Cloud File Integrations

– Ebiz On premises Fusion Applications or RightNow

• Enforce Security and Policy Compliance with Partners – Built in auditing and encryption/decryption

• Consolidate and Simplify File Transfer Integrations

– No more custom scripts or incorrect tooling

• Extreme Ease of Use – No Developer Required

– Use non-technical staff, free up developers

Cloud Adoption Accelerating Need for MFT • Cloud/SaaS adoption growing at a very fast pace

• In majority of cases, data is sent to the cloud… … using files!

• On Premises to/from Cloud

– eBiz to CRM, Data Warehouse to BI Cloud Service

FTP RightNow, SalesForce, Oracle Public Cloud …


MFT Cloud Use Cases eBS On Premises to/from Fusion Applications

•Accounts, Products, Pricelist, Shipping

File Integration Types

•Bulk Seed

•Batch Updates, daily or other

•Partner Channel Batch Update, EDI etc…

Analytics

•Pull from Cloud BI Service into OnPrem DW

•OnPrem Push to Cloud BI Service

•BI Cloud to BI Cloud DW Service

Oracle MFT in the Cloud is a game changer


Business Impact

1. Drive down overall IT costs through FTP license consolidation and admin overhead reduction

2. Increase compliance, security and data protection through central administration of all file exchanges

3. Accelerates strategic business initiatives: cloud adoption by offering a simple, reliable, controlled way to exchange data with external entities


MFT Simple Design of Transfers Browser Based Environment

• Configure Transfers

– Reusable Sources and Targets

– Schedules, filters, compression, encryption

– Secure endpoint file access

• Endpoint Types

– Event: Embedded FTP, SOAP, SOA, B2B, OSB, ODI

– Polling: File and remote FTP adapters

• Extreme Ease of Use

– Drag and drop, no developer required

– Transfer rename, duplicate, filtered transfer list

– Deployment details, export, import

– Reusable custom actions: notifications, file conversion …


Oracle MFT – Global Visibility Metrics, Diagnostics & Extensive Reporting

• Metrics Dashboards

– Fine and course grained metrics

– Metrics for every artifact: Source, Target and Transfer

• Totals, file size, speed, elapsed times, failure ratio

• Diagnostics & Error Handling

– Find files by date, filename, status, user, artifact name

– Errors dashboard to diagnose problems

– Real-time active/recent file deliveries

• Extensive Reporting

– End to End instance reports

– Course and fine grained artifact Transfer reports

– Deployment, history and dependencies


Oracle MFT – Processing Large Files Limited only by disk space and network speed

• SOAP File Pass-By-Reference

- Avoids parsing payload in the DOM

- Reference types: File, FTP, sFTP, Directory

- Includes headers: filename/size, user, linkback …

- Inline and attachment option for small files

• Out of the Box File Compression/Extraction

- Compress/uncompress single large file Ex:1000%

- Extract contents to a dir and process files individually

- Compress contents of a dir and forward single file

• Batch/De-batch large XML,CSV files

- Inbound: strip files to dir using custom action

- Outbound: append to existing file

Pass-by-reference payload sample


Oracle MFT – Enterprise Security Out of the Box End to End Security using Multiple Keystores

• File Encryption – PGP

– Encrypt/decrypt Actions on all artifacts

– Certificates keystore managed by WLST commands

• FTP and sFTP Embedded Servers Access

– Inbound file upload

– Pass-by-reference outbound access

• Source & Target Web Service Policies

– Standard OWSM policies

– SOA, SOAP, OSB, ODI, B2B, HealthCare

• Web Console SSL and Role Based Access

– Admin(All), Deploy(r/o monitor), Monitor(r/o design)

– Managed from WebLogic Console/API’s


Oracle MFT – Scheduling Embedded Oracle Enterprise Scheduler (ESS)

• Core Scheduler Functionality

– Flexible frequencies: Once, Custom, Daily, Weekly …

– Repeatable week(s) of month or day(s) of week

– Start/stop date/times

– Generate a schedule and customize as needed

• MFT Usage

– Extended to include range or durations

– Use in Sources and Targets

• Not used in Web service Sources types: SOA, SOAP, OSB …

• External Scheduler Support

– Jobs can invoke MFT Web Service to initiate a Transfer

– MFT invoke external scheduler using custom callout or BPEL


Oracle MFT – Extensibility Callouts and SOA Tooling Integration

• Tight SOA/OSB/BPM/B2B Integration

– MFT SOA binding for inbound or outbound SOAP

– Extend to BPEL for complex integration patterns

– Human task, protocol translation, partner management
