Field Level Encryption with Oracle Integration and OCI Vault by Stan Tanev

December 12, 2021 Leave a comment

Integration platforms are often required to handle confidential information such as personal details, payment information or other data protected by compliance and regulatory standards such as HIPAA, GDPR, PII and PCI.

Various methods exist to protect data from unauthorized access while data is in transit and at rest. These approaches typically encrypt the entire payload. As a complementary approach Field Level Encryption has an important role to play by ensuring that only appropriately configured clients can read sensitive data fields. This approach also allows clients without the encryption keys to work with the non-sensitive data which would be impossible to do with a fully encrypted payload.

Although Field Level Encryption (FLE) is not natively supported in Oracle Integration (OIC) today, this blog will explore several options that will allow you to implement FLE with OIC. In this blog, I will present these options, discuss some guiding principles and showcase some sample implementations.

In the context of Oracle Integration, an implementation of Field Level Encryption should allow a developer to easily encrypt/decrypt individual field(s) as part of an integration flow. Let’s explore several use cases where this may be applicable:

Oracle Integration may be required to receive or send encrypted information to other systems as part of a bigger data payload. For instance: OIC developers may be required to encrypt some but not all fields for a new hire sourced from Oracle HCM prior to sending them to an external system. Read the complete article here.

December 11, 2021 Leave a comment

Whether you are a SaaS or OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure) customer, you may be finding it hard to stay up-to-date on all the features being added by Oracle on quarterly basis. Oracle is at the moment innovating much faster than any other cloud provider.

Whether it’s the standard SaaS (HCM, Recruit, Payroll, ERP, Procurement and Supply Chain etc), PaaS (see table below) or IaaS offerings such as network, compute or storage, Oracle is constantly adding advanced features such as Autonomous upgrade to AI capabilities. Read the complete article here.

Leveraging OCI AI Language Service from Oracle Integration by Niall Commiskey

December 10, 2021 Leave a comment

First, a simple example of what’s possible here – I enter a text for analysis – This is my second order for this product, it is really cool.

As you can see – a positive sentiment and rightly so our iBike is the best in the virtual world!

Now how can I invoke this from OIC? Imagine I have an order processing integration – the payload includes a comments field – where customer can open their hearts to us. Let’s implement this in OIC.

Step 1 – create a connection to OCI AI Service

Invoking AI is just like invoking other OCI services from OIC. The connection setup is similar to that for Object Storage etc. So I begin by cloning my existing Object Storage connection. Read the complete article here.

How to call the OCI AI Language Service from the Oracle Integration Cloud by Daniel Teixeira

December 9, 2021 Leave a comment

The OCI AI Language service is one of the new set of AI Services and it can provide valuable capabilities in the context of the OIC. I wrote about the language AI service in this post.

There are plenty of use cases where OIC could potentially benefit from AI Services, anomaly detection being an obvious one, but also language with the ability to detect sentiment, detect language and extract key words from text.

This post will focus for now on the technical side of setting this up in OIC. Later on I will bring more posts focusing on specific use cases.

Step 1: Create a Connection

This is similar to other Connections, like Object Storage and Functions.

The connection URL can be found – Read the complete article here.

Oracle Named a Leader for Five Consecutive Years in Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Enterprise Integration Platform as a Service

December 8, 2021 Leave a comment

Oracle enables business process automation in the cloud with leading integration solutions

Oracle today announced that it has been named a Leader in 2021 Gartner “Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Integration Platform as a Service (EiPaaS)” report for the fifth consecutive year. Combined with its similar Leader position in 2021 Gartner “Magic Quadrant for Data Integration Tools,” we believe Oracle provides a complete integration solution for the most demanding business process automation across hybrid cloud environments.

The rapidly growing EiPaaS market is fueled by the need to efficiently connect, modernize, and automate Oracle and non-Oracle SaaS, on-premises, and custom-built cloud native applications, data, APIs, and end-to-end business processes. As organizations move to digital platforms as their primary source of customer and employee engagement with updated web, mobile, and artificial intelligence, expanding with IoT and blockchain solutions, a scalable, secure and comprehensive EiPaaS as a foundation for a digital integration hub is critical.

Recognized for delivering a broad set of capabilities ranging from application, data, B2B and API-focused integration capabilities, Oracle Integration powers thousands of customers to automate routine business processes and connect workflows to streamline essential activities. Oracle continues to deliver on its promise of helping companies accelerate, modernize, and manage their business processes with visual designers, prebuilt adapters, and support for any SaaS, on-cloud, on-premises, or cloud native custom application.

“The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated companies’ pivot to digital engagement and challenged them to combine disparate SaaS and on-premises applications to automate business process,” said Suhas Uliyar, vice president, Digital Assistant and Integration, Oracle. “We’re inspired and guided by the thousands of customers and partners who are using Oracle Integration to rapidly accelerate their modernization initiatives through intelligent automation and run-ready templates that give citizen integrators and developers increasingly powerful low code point and click solutions.”

As a native Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) service, Oracle Integration benefits from a common identity and security model, unified observability, and superior price-performance. Together with complementary OCI services, Oracle offers the enterprise connectivity and automation platform companies need to quickly modernize their applications, business processes, APIs, and data. Featuring pre-built adapters, recipes, and process automation templates that make it easy to automate end-to-end business application processes, Oracle Integration helps developers visually orchestrate workflows that span applications. Through its use of machine learning and based on configurable business rules, Oracle Integration makes it easy to define, detect, and dynamically escalate exceptions to available and authorized employees, which reduces training costs and improves usability.

Organizations of all sizes, industries, and regions depend on Oracle Integration to accelerate and modernize end-to-end processes. For existing customers who have on-premises Oracle applications, databases, and middleware, Oracle provides an exclusive opportunity to move their workloads to the cloud as-is. In addition, customers who have adopted SaaS applications with ongoing updates in machine learning, AI, digital assistants, and analytics can leverage Oracle’s integration services as a Digital Integration Hub. With prebuilt adapters for any application, database, technology or enterprise messaging approach, Oracle Integration offers the speed, ease of use, and full range of connectivity capabilities needed to automate end-to-end enterprise processes.
