Governance made easy – Oracle API Catalog 12c by André Evensen

March 9, 2015 Leave a comment

 

clip_image002Oracle recently launched a new product in their governance portfolio. As more and more applications, particularly in the mobile domain, rely on external APIs, the need for proper governance is ever growing.

Many organizations use ad hoc tools like spread sheets and wikis to keep track of their APIs. The API Catalog 12c may allow organizations to replace these tools with an online catalog that provides visibility to their APIs for application development.

The API Catalog is a lightweight product that positions itself as a stepping-stone on the way to “real” SOA governance. It includes a meta-model for API assets and tools for automatically populating it with APIs from specified servers. Developers can use the catalog to search for APIs they want to use.

Simplified, the API Catalog seem to provide answers to three important questions:

  • What APIs exist?
  • What do these APIs do?
  • How can they be consumed?

I will describe, from a high level perspective, how the API Catalog addresses these questions and why this may be a great tool for your organization. Read the complete article here.

API article series by Niall Commiskey

clip_image001Thanks for the nice API management introduction:

Installing API Catalog

Using the API Catalog for harvesting SOA service APIs

Using API Catalog for harvesting Service Bus APIs

developer –

Users with the developer role have the ability to search OAC for published APIs from the OAC console or using the Oracle Enterprise Repository JDeveloper plug-in. The developer can examine the API metadata to better understand the API. The developer also has the ability to declare interest in the API and submit ratings and reviews for an API.

curator –

In addition to the capabilities available to the developer role, users with the curator role can run the harvester to create new API assets in OAC. After API assets have been created, curators edit them to update their metadata. The curator also has the ability to publish an API, which makes the API available for discovery by developers.

admin –

In addition to the capabilities available to the curator and the developer roles, users with the admin role have access to the Adminpage in OAC. From this page users with this role can administer the infrastructure of OAC by editing system settings, creating new users, creating new departments, managing sessions, and using the import/export tool. Users with this role can also configure the security features included with OAC.

Examine API integration trends in the enterprise by Mala Ramakrishnan

January 2, 2015 1 Comment

clip_image002API integration is attracting considerable interest from enterprise architects and is a hot topic at the Oracle OpenWorld Conference in San Francisco this week. We caught up with Mala Ramakrishnan, director of product marketing at Oracle, who provided her view on how API integration trends are affecting the enterprise.

What are some of the important trends in API integration tools that you see?

Mala Ramakrishnan: There is a move to broaden the development community beyond IT to include mobile application developers, non-IT line-of-business application developers and thrd-party application developers — mobile and on-premise[s]. Customers are expecting API management tools to offer community building so developers can collaborate on design and usability of APIs and improve the developer experience to discover, test and track their use of APIs. Read the complete article here.

API Catalog (OAC) 12.1.3 available for download

November 7, 2014 Leave a comment

imageAPI Catalog (OAC) allows organizations to easily build a catalog of their APIs to provide visibility to those APIs for application development. OAC includes a simple metamodel for an API asset, automation to populate OAC with APIs, and the ability for users to search OAC for APIs and understand the details of the APIs to assess their fit in the users application.
Powered by comprehensive automation capabilities, Oracle API catalog streamlines processes and optimizes reuse to promote and foster API adoption. The solution establishes a foundation for success by

  • Providing facilities to automate the population of OAC
  • Enabling easy API editing and publishing
  • Facilitating API consumption in JDeveloper

You can download OAC (as a part of the OER 12.1.3 installer) and learn more on OTN. Learn more in the Oracle API Catalog Datasheet. image
