Replace Existing Connection with New Connection in OIC Integration by Amit Kumar Suman

imageNew update in OIC allow us to replace any connection used in an integration with another connection of same Type and Role. Earlier if you want to replace any existing connection of an integration for that you had to delete the existing connection and then configure a new connection in place of that. This action affect the downstream flow and you had to reconfigure most of the thing. It was totally a REWORK.

How this new update can help you ?

One case scenario – suppose you want to change the connection name of a connection that you have used in your integration. You can achieve this using this new feature ‘ #Replace ‘. Just replace the older connection with new connection having new name. It will not affect your downstream flow. NO REWORK:)

Steps Overview to replace older connection with new connection from an Integration. Read the complete article here.

Install and Run Oracle Integration Recipe – Extract New Hire Info from HCM Cloud by Kishore Katta

image

Accelerators and recipes are a great way to kick-start on building your integrations. Accelerators are run-ready business integrations or technical patterns you can configure and activate. Recipes are starter templates that give you a head start. Some of the recipes exist today as separate downloads via Oracle Marketplace and other repositories. Oracle-built recipes are harvested and they are made available as part of Oracle Integration instances. OIC new Home Page brings these right to your doorstep!

For instance if we need to automate HCM Cloud extract and push it to an SFTP server there is a Recipe for that. As part of this blog series we will see how to customize the OOTB Recipe and modify the Integration Flow. Read the complete article here.

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

image

For the fourth straight year, Oracle was named a Leader in Gartner’s 2020 “Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS)” report.

Thanks to all partners who supported us by your successful customer projects!

The fast growing iPaaS market demonstrates that enterprises are continuing to invest substantially in their cloud and digital transformation strategies. Oracle believes that its leadership in this market is a testament to the success that large and midsize organizations have achieved with the cost effective, agile connectivity enabled by Oracle Integration.

Oracle Integration runs on Oracle’s highly secure, high performance Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and is a complete and comprehensive application integration service that connects SaaS and on-premises business applications. The service offers prebuilt adapters, prebuilt business accelerators and recipes, as well as machine learning powered auto mapping. In addition, enterprises have access to low code tools for citizen integrations that rapidly deliver business value and simplify the technical complexity of dealing with low-level APIs. Oracle Integration also includes cloud native file transfer, support for B2B e-commerce integrations and business-friendly dashboards to monitor business-level metrics using web-based dashboards.

Oracle’s success stems from being able to eliminate the barriers between business applications through a combination of machine learning, pre-built application integration, visual process automation and intuitive, real-time analytics. Oracle’s embedded AI capabilities, such as self-defining integrations and prediction of SLA violations enable enterprises to execute any number of integration development processes.

“The success our customers have seen on their business transformation journey, speaks volumes to the level of innovation and speed achieved by integration processes,” said Suhas Uliyar, vice president, Digital Assistant and Integration, Oracle. “To us, being recognized as a Leader for the fourth year in a row demonstrates that our customers rely on our partnership to help them continue to gain efficiencies and build business resiliency.”

Thousands of organizations of all sizes, across industries and regions, have adopted Oracle Integration to accelerate their digital transformation by connecting and extending any SaaS, on-premises, or custom application. For customers with on-premises Oracle applications, databases, and middleware, only Oracle offers the ability to move their workloads to the cloud as-is. Customers who have selected Oracle SaaS and are taking advantage of quarterly innovation updates in machine learning, AI, digital assistants, and analytics, can rest assured that their extensions and connections will continue to work. With pre-built adapters for any application, database, 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.

    Fault handling in OIC by Jan Kettenis

    image

    This article discusses how fault handling in Integrations works for the Oracle Integration Cloud, and some best practices on how to use it, including consuming Integrations in Structured Processes.

    Updated on August 6 2020 after discovering that in the explanation of Fault Return parts of the text were duplicated while others were missing.

    Special thanks to Greg Mally of the Oracle A-Team for his valuable input.

    As this is a lengthy article I will start with the conclusion including what I consider to be the best practices, so if you trust me you can stop right there

    Best practice is to always put an Invoke activity in a Scope. In case you need to handle a fault in a specific way, it is sufficient to add a Default (Fault) Handler only, unless you need to handle different back-end faults differently.

    In the Fault Handler use the Fault Return option to throw a fault coming from the back-end service to the consumer of the Integration for three reasons:

    1. It gives you maximum control over the way the fault is returned to the consumer. For example, only with Fault Return will you be able to return the HTTP 4xx or 5xx status code from the back-end service as-is to the consumer of a REST Integration.
    2. With that it allows you to wrap the fault from the back-end services in one single type of fault thrown to the consumer, making fault handling by the consumer as simple as possible. For example, in case of a modeled SOAP Fault returned to a Structured Process, it now suffices to add one single Boundary Error Event for the modeled fault to handle all business faults in the process.
    3. On the Monitoring tab the integration instance that handled the fault from the back-end service is itself flagged as “Succeeded” (instead of “Errored”), which strictly speaking is correct as the integration did what it had to do (don’t blame the messenger). After all, the actual fault happened in the back-end service. So instead of unnecessarily alarming the operator of OIC (which caused no issue), Operations should look at either the consumer or the back-end service to find out what went wrong.

    In other words, Fault Return is the easiest way to return faults thrown by the back-end service(s) in a consistent way. This is can be very convenient for your consumer. Read the complete article here.

    Extend Oracle SaaS with Cloud Native & Serverless Solutions – Partner Community Webcast December 16th, 2020

    imageA number of customers have already built extensions/ integrations with Oracle SaaS using a variety of Oracle PaaS services. Going forward some of these will want to upgrade, migrate or build new, extensions/integrations and unsurprisingly want to ensure that their new extensions use modern technologies and modern frameworks. A specific desire these customers will have is the management of the PaaS servers, SaaS customers are used to the SaaS model, they pay by user/invoice and not by CPU and expect Oracle to manage everything.

    This presentation aims to help us understand what needs, when extending/integrating, a SaaS customer will have and various patterns they can adopt. The technologies we will explore are the various cloud native technologies, like Kubernetes, streams etc. and serverless technologies like Oracle Functions as a Service.

    Speaker: Angelo Santagata Architect, Oracle SaaS A-Team

    Schedule: December 16th 2020 16:30-17:30 CET (Berlin time)

    OIC: Integration Pick action full-circle now with Process using it! By Jan Kettenis

    image

    This article describes how the Pick feature aka Multi-Operation Support for REST integrations now also is fully supported by Process applications.
    More than a year ago the Pick action was introduced in OIC also known as Multi-Operation Support. Since then you can create REST integrations supporting multiple actions for one resource using one single URL. For example, you can have one single endpoint like …/ic/api/integration/v1/flows/rest/INT_GN_CASE_GROUPS/2.0/case-metadata/casegroups supporting a POST, GET, PUT and DELETE.

    Apart from the fact that it is the de-facto standard for developing REST services to handle one single resource, it also is more convenient to have one single Integration that you can activate or deactivate instead of creating as many integrations as there are actions. Until the August 2020 release it was not yet supported by Process, but finally it is!! Now why would you want this? In short: because is easier and it performs better.
