How London Heathrow Airport succeeded with FlexDeploy and Oracle Integration

London Heathrow Airport (LHR) had its accounting, billing and HR solutions replaced with Oracle SaaS, PaaS (Oracle Integration) and IaaS by Capgemini involving more than 80 integrations that handle billions of pounds of transactions yearly. Capgemini’s Agile Innovation Platform (AIP) helped accelerate the delivery and exploit the benefits of DevOps with Flexagon’s FlexDeploy. Phil Wilkins will talk about the techniques and benefits of these approaches used.

The Evolution of DevOps

Demo of the FlexDeploy DevOps platform with out-of-the-box support for Oracle Integration. The demo will include the following topics such as:

• CI/CD release pipelines, dashboards, and reports
• Automated deployment of integrations, connections, lookups, and libraries
• Management of connection property replacement
• Incorporating continuous integration (CI) and automated testing
• Integration with tools like Jira and ServiceNow

Process Automation free hands-on lab on-demand

January 27, 2022 Leave a comment

In this lab, you’ll use the Process component of Oracle Integration (OIC) to build a process automation application Mama Maggy’s store managers use to enter order requests. Regional managers use the application to evaluate order requests from store managers. If the requests are approved, orders will be created in the ATP database using an imported integration. Estimated duration: 1-2 hours.

Lab Objectives

Upon completion of this Lab you will be able to:

Model an order submission and approval process using OIC’s Process Automation component;
Create a process application enabling store managers to submit requests and regional managers to approve/disapprove them;
Import a pre-built integration into the process model to add a new order to the ATP database. Access the training here.

Guidelines when moving Integration Workloads from SOA to Oracle Integration by Shreenidhi Raghuram

January 26, 2022 Leave a comment

Introduction

The aim of this blog is to guide customers when they set out to migrate their integration solutions from SOA to Oracle Integration (OIC).
The focus in this blog is to help customers during the creation, configuration of Oracle Integration service instances, and also provide best practices for choosing the right OIC features and integration patterns when developing SOA equivalent integrations on Oracle Integration Cloud.

The existing SOA workloads could be running in customer data-centers, on-premise or on Oracle cloud. The blog aims to provide high level guidelines when moving integration workloads from SOA to Oracle Integration Cloud.

To start with the SOA Suite installations could be any of the below –

SOA on-premise – Where SOA is installed and managed on-premise or within customer datacenter
SOACS on OCI – these are SOACS installation running on customer OCI tenancy in one of the OCI regions worldwide
SOACS Marketplace – This is the newer installations which run on OCI and are installed using the SOA images available in Oracle market place
SOACS on OCI Classic – These are legacy SOACS installations running on OCI Classic datacenters

SOA to OIC is not an upgrade or an automatic migration. The two integration products have different design-time and runtime environments. Hence the integrations need to be re-developed in the target OIC platform. Although, the high level integration concepts remain same for both platforms, a sound knowledge of Oracle Integration Cloud’s features, wide range of adapters and a good idea of cloud integration concepts are key to get all the benefits of Oracle Integration during the migration from SOA.

OIC -> DB adapter – overcoming 10 MB limit by Niall Commiskey

January 25, 2022 Leave a comment

This is an issue with many customers – I execute a SELECT against my on-premise Oracle DB from OIC and a humungous amount of data is returned. This exceeds the 10 MB limit and causes an error. Here is a simple example of avoiding such. Here is my test table - I can use SQL with OFFSET –

SELECT orderNr, customer, value FROM orders ORDER BY ordernr OFFSET 2 ROWS FETCH NEXT 3 ROWS ONLY;

I wrap this SQL in a stored procedure - Now to my integration, which will invoke the Stored Procedure. This is a scheduled orchestration – First step is to do a SELECT COUNT(1) FROM ORDERS – this returns 16 in my case. Now for my simple example I will process these in batches of 5. You can extrapolate from this e.g. 200 rows is well within my 10MB limit. I then divide my count by the batch size – using the ceiling function.

ceiling(16 / 5) = 4 iterations.

Next step is to leverage the DB adapter to invoke the PL/SQL stored procedure - Read the complete article here.

Oracle Integration Cloud – Gmail Adapter by Daniel Teixeira

January 24, 2022 Leave a comment

As part of a wider use case involving OIC, ODA and OCI AI Services, I need to be able to get emails. For that I will try out the OIC Google Gmail Adapter.

All about it here.

Pre-Requisites

On the Google side we need to configure a couple of things.

Under your google account go to https://console.developers.google.com/

Choose an existing project or create a new one. Under the option Library, search for Gmail API.

Enable it. Create an OAuth ID type of credentials, Add your callback URL

Create a connection

Pick up the Gmail Adapter from the list and provide a Client ID, Client Secret, and the Scope.

Once that is done Provide Consent, which will finalize the connection. Make sure your user is added in the Gmail OAuth consent list. Read the complete article here.
