Embedding the Oracle OICS Process Workspace Application in an iFrame by Siming Mu

November 6, 2021 Leave a comment

Introduction

Oracle Process Cloud Workspace is a web application that a user uses to interact with human activities in BPMN processes. It is a stand-alone web application in Oracle Integration Cloud Service (OICS). In some use cases, customers want to embed the Workspace application in an iframe of their own web page. Out of box, this is not possible because all HTTP responses from the Workspace have an X-Frame-Options header set to "sameorigin". It does not allow browsers to embed response data into an iframe from a different domain.

This post demonstrates a work-around solution to this problem by using a proxy server. The idea is to use a proxy server (OHS or Apache) to remove or modify the X-Frame-Options header from all responses from the Workspace.

Demo Environment

My demo environment, shown in the image below, includes an OHS server installed on localhost:7777. I have my OICS instance running on a VM. I have a simple test web page with an iframe installed on the OHS.

Check the Problem First

Let’s verify the problem exists first. The following two screen shots show the Workspace accessed directly without the proxy.

Now we create a simple web page "myworkspace.html" on our OHS instance. The page contains an iframe that points directly to the Workspace. Read the complete article here.

Extend HCM Cloud with workflow process in Oracle Integration Cloud by Mani Krishnan

November 3, 2021 Leave a comment

Introduction

Oracle Integration Cloud provides rich work flow capabilities that can be integrated with Oracle SaaS applications. Oracle HCM cloud provides approval and work list capabilities for most needs. However, there are use cases where a complex workflow with multiple approvals and ability to enrich approval data from multiple applications will be necessary. In this post, let’s look at seamlessly integrating integration cloud process user interfaces with HCM cloud.

Overview

Instructions in this post are applicable to Oracle Integration cloud on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). Each OCI tenancy is associated with an IDCS instance, which supports identity federation with Oracle SaaS applications. Enabling identity federation with IDCS also allows seamless integration with many other Oracle PaaS products. The high-level steps are:

· Enable federation between IDCS and HCM Cloud

· Add Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC) to a Identity provider policy

· Embed process UI in HCM cloud

Here is a depiction of the SAML federation solution:

User logs into HCM Cloud and opens a page with an embedded OIC process page. The OIC process page should display content specific to the currently signed-in user without requiring user to log into IDCS or HCM Cloud. Steps 3,4 and 5 are transparent to the end user.

Enable identity federation between IDCS and HCM Cloud

Before identity federation can be validated, users and role assignments also must be synchronized between HCM Cloud and IDCS. There are several ways to achieve it. Follow instructions at this link to use the ESS Job in SaaS to synchronize users and role assignments. This task can be entirely performed by customers as self service.

Updating SOA Polling Frequency through WLST by Ahmed Aboulnaga

November 2, 2021 Leave a comment

Have you ever wondered how you can update the PollingFrequency of an inbound adapter such as the FileAdapter or FtpAdapter using WLST?

Taking a look at an Oracle SOA 12c composite in the EM console, when you click on your service, you can navigate to the Properties tab to view and update the polling frequency of the inbound adapter at any time during runtime.

We experienced a strange issue. For example, the inbound FileAdapter would be configured to poll the folder every 10 seconds. However, we noticed that in some cases (which we can’t explain), the file never gets picked up. It may sit there for hours. A restart of the SOA managed servers took care of this. We also found out that updating the polling frequency re-triggers or re-initializes the inbound file polling for some odd reason. Read the complete article here.

CI/CD for Oracle Integrations with Visual Builder Studio by Shay Shmeltzer

November 1, 2021 Leave a comment

The new version of Oracle Visual Builder Studio adds support for automating continuous deployment of Integrations created in Oracle Integration from one instance to another. This can help teams easily promote changes to integrations from their development instance to their test and production instances. In this blog we’ll show you how to achieve this.

Oracle Integration is a cloud service that allows you to integrate data from multiple sources and create data APIs for other apps to consume. For example, many of the customers who are developing user interfaces with Oracle Visual Builder rely on Oracle Integration to get the data shown in the UI. Oracle Integration has adapters that can help you easily connect and extract data from multiple systems.
Oracle Integration provides a web-based interface where developers visually create integrations and manage versions of those integrations. For customers who are looking to automate the process of migrating integrations between instances (such as from dev to prod) – Oracle Visual Builder provides an easy-to-use solution that simplify export and import of integrations.

Automating Integration CI/CD

We added specific Oracle integration functionality into Visual Builder Studio in both the Environments and Build areas. In the environments section you can define multiple environments and map them to integration cloud instances. We can scan your tenancy for instances, and you can also provide a pointer to other instances in other cloud tenancies. Read the complete article here.

Use Oracle Integration to Connect E-Business Suite with Financials Cloud

October 31, 2021 Leave a comment

Moving Oracle E-Business Suite to the cloud brings many opportunities to modernize and integrate with other cloud services. Many times, these projects relate to the adoption of new SaaS applications which add more functionality and business processes.

One example is modernizing the infrastructure of EBS running the manufacturing operations by bringing to Oracle Cloud and connecting with a new implementation of Oracle Financials SaaS.

Oracle Integration is an Oracle Cloud regional service with a powerful set of adapters, providing connectivity and integration for Oracle E-Business Suite, cloud services and technologies, and SaaS applications as Oracle Financials Cloud. This architecture presents a topology for connecting an EBS instance on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) with Oracle Financials SaaS using Oracle Integration.

Architecture

This architecture shows the deployment of Oracle E-Business Suite in a single availability domain inside an OCI region, along with integrations built using Oracle Integration. Oracle Integration is connected to Oracle E-Business Suite using Oracle E-Business Suite Adapter deployed with the Oracle Integration Connectivity Agent.

The architecture includes two compartments, both of which have Cloud Guard enabled to provide maximum security based on Oracle’s security best practices. In addition, the compartment where the database system and the autonomous database private endpoint are deployed is a security zone compartment. Read the complete article here.

Tips and Tricks for handling numbers in BPEL or OIC by Pranav Davar

October 29, 2021 Leave a comment

While integrating with multiple systems and moving data from one system to the other, we generally come across scenarios, wherein we need to change the format of the number or perform operations like floor, ceil, round, divide, multiply, add, etc. on numbers. We will be going through various mathematical functions available in XSLT 1.0, which would be helpful in such scenarios, and also some generic errors which we encounter usually.

– Mathematical Operations

1. Divide

2. Multiply

3. Add

4. Subtract

5. Square-root

6. Round

7. Floor

8. Ceil

9. Advanced Number formatting
