OIC integrating BigCommerce with Netsuite #784 Using Pagination with the OIC Shopify adapter by Niall Commiskey
October 30, 2020 1 Comment
Big Commerce is a very popular SaaS eCommerce platform, used by many Netsuite customers. Ergo, integration between the two is necessary and easy with Oracle Integration (OIC). Welcome to my Hare of the Dog shop on Big Commerce – I add a couple of top quality products – Hare of the Dog T-Shirts – handmade by medieval philosophy students. The material is 100% recycled and recyclable, and is also edible. Read the complete article here.

Hi Niall,
Excellent post – having worked on a number of e-commerce usecases, bulk product updates and fetches are my favourite. Unless a SaaS system (like Shopify or eBay) offers a separate feature for bulk data transfer, paginated API’s are an easy to use and preferred approach.
I wrote a related post on working with paginated API’s (also applies to custom OIC adapters that in turn use target system API’s). In this post, I demonstrated a recursive approach instead of looping. Both approaches work, but I found some benefits in the recursive approach:
1) The instance duration is more short-lived as each instance processes only one page and calls the next.
2) If an instance ends up in error hospital, recovery would proceed only from the page where it failed instead of starting all over again
Again, both approaches are good to have in an OIC developer’s tookit!
Would be nice to hear your views on my article:
