What is the difference between an API and a publicly callable API?
Ø An API is an alternative entry for data to be insert/update/delete from the application. Ø The Oracle HRMS Ø Publicly callable APIs engage in validation in the same manner as the forms do with in the application. Ø Validation is performed in terms of data integrity, insuring that data relationship exist properly between related tables. Ø Validation is also performed against business functionality as the application form would enforce it. Ø Therefore, only publicly callable APIs should be used to insert/update and delete data from the application.
