What does OCI5 mean?
The Open Catalog Interface (OCI) incorporates external product catalogs into SRM Server applications. This way, data that is required to create shopping cart items in the SRM Server can be transferred directly from the external catalog to the SRM Server application. The mass upload feature is available with the release of Open Catalog Interface version 5.0, where it is possible to replicate the data from external catalogs into the SRM system using JSON (Java Script Object Notation) format over Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) or physical file upload.
