4. Introduction to FTI in OTM
• OTM integrates with Oracle BI Transportation Intelligence
by providing a direct link to the Oracle BI interfaces
• The database for FTI can either be installed separately or
on the ROD database or use the OTM Operational
database
• FTI uses a new status ‘READY_TO_LOAD’ for Orders,
Order Releases and Shipments to identify when the
object is ready to be pulled into the FTI database.
• This status change is implemented through 3 public
agents namely –
LOAD_ORDER_BASE_TO_HD
LOAD_ORDER_RELEASE_TO_HD
LOAD_SHIPMENT_TO_HD
