Accelerate API Integration With the Power of OpenAPI by Anuj Kaushal

image

The OpenAPI Specification defines a standard, programming language-agnostic interface description for REST APIs. We are pleased to announce OpenAPI support in Oracle integration cloud REST adapter. What this means is that all OIC integration flows with a REST trigger will publish an openAPI to describe its metadata. This machine readable description of the API will allow interactive API explorers as well as the developers to consume OIC integration flows with ease.

On activation of an integration flow, the metadata link will show the new option to display the openAPI in addition to the swagger URL. We are also introducing an interactive openAPI explorer in the Oracle integration cloud REST adapter wizard that will help integration developers to explore and consume APIs described in openAPI format with a few clicks. The REST adapter already has similar support for swagger2.0. Read the complete article here.

Configurators – One stop solution for all your dependency configuration needs by Sindhu Suresh

image

For those of you already familiar with the blog for Integration dependency configuration, we have something better to offer. The previous blog talks about replacing a connection dependency in the integration, with the another connection resource of the same role using Rest apis. We know how tedious handling rest apis can get, hence we have now come up with a snazzy UI do the same operation. This feature is available at the integration level and it has also been extended to work at Package level.  
Lets take a look at both, Integration Configurator and Package Configurator, in detail in the upcoming sections.

Integration Configurator

Prerequisite

Enable following feature:

  • oic.ics.featureflag.spa.designer (Integration designer pages)

To enable feature flags – Refer to Blog on Enabling Feature Flags in Oracle Integration

The minimum Oracle Integration version required for the feature is 191110.1400.32380.

Key Functionalities

As mentioned earlier, the integration configurator is a friendly UI built on top of the existing REST APIs(mentioned in the previous blog), that help users replace the dependencies in an integration, with some more added functionalities that elevate user experience. The functionalities are : Read the complete article here.

Object Storage with Oracle Integration Cloud – Part 1 by Stan Tanev

imageOver the past few years, in everything from personal photo storage to enterprise development there has been an incredible uptake of cloud storage buckets which provide a simple, low-cost mechanism for storing unstructured data. For much longer than that, there has been a need to consume, stage and produce unstructured data in enterprise integration scenarios. File servers accessible via protocols such as FTP/SFTP, etc. are commonly used to meet the staging requirements of traditional file-based integration use cases.

The practice of using an FTP/SFTP server alongside Oracle’s cloud integration platform – Oracle Integration Cloud (henceforth, OIC), is nothing new and is well documented.

In a series of upcoming blogs, I will explore how we can use Oracle’s cloud storage buckets (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure – Object Storage) instead of a traditional FTP server in cloud-based integrations. In this initial blog I will focus on: Read the complete article here.
