See How Easily You Can Access Integration’s metadata by Venkatesh Mohanram

image

Many times we may want to use the name of the integration, its version inside the OIC integration flow and we may not want to hardcode the values. And also we may want to access dynamic value like runtime instanceId, invoked by etc., inside the integration flow. All these are possible now with the introduction of a new feature called ‘Integration Metadata Access’ and it allows access to most of the commonly useful metadata. In this blog, we will see what are the metadata that we can access and how we can use it in the integration flow.

The minimum Oracle Integration version required for the feature is 20.34310

List of exposed metadata

  1. Integration
    1. Name
    2. Identifier
    3. Version
  2. Runtime data
    1. Instance ID
    2. Invoked by name
  3. Environment data
    1. Service instance name
    2. Base URL

All these metadata are read-only fields and can be used in any orchestration like Assign activity, Log activity, Notification activity etc., Read the complete article here.

OIC –> Netsuite adapter – processing Customers by Niall Commiskey

image

Simple example – let’s start by creating a customer. I’m not a Netsuite expert – so I begin by creating a Customer in Netsuite

Ok, now I’ve seen the mandatory fields –
So now off to OIC. I create a simple REST based integration that leverages the Netsuite adapter to create a customer in Netsuite. Read the complete article here.

Use Global Variables and Data Stitch to log request payloads by Thomas Hora

imageIn this blog, we will look at 2 new Integration features Global Variables, and Data Stitch.  Data Stitch allows us to make assignments to complex type variables.  We will show how the features can be leveraged to log invoke request payloads in case of fault.

Prerequisite

Enable following features:

  • oic.ics.console.integration.stitch-action
  • oic.ics.console.integration.complex-variables

To enable feature flags – Refer to Blog Enabling Feature Flags in Oracle Integration

The minimum Oracle Integration version required for the feature is 200113.1400.33493

Use case: 

When invoke fails, we want to log the request payload.  Currently, request payloads are visible after the invoke, but not visible inside the fault handlers.

Solution:

We will create a Global Variable based on the request payload.  Global Variables are visible anywhere in the integration, including fault handlers. Read the complete article here.

My private Corner – Goodbye to an old friend

imageFor year’s I used an X220 ThinkPad. It was a great companion on hundreds of business trips. On it’s excellent keyboard I wrote most of the community newsletters. The model was launched in 2011, during the years I piped it with 16 GB RAM and two SSD drives. Which where a great help to run demos and trainings based on virtual box. The raise of cloud computing gave it’s CPU a second spring. With mandatory move to Windows 10 it’s time to say goodbye to a good friend – thanks for the great service!

Digital Transformation: We’ve Faced the Same Challenges at Oracle The hardest part of a digital transformation is often not the computers or software, but “the entire rethinking of how to operate in a modern global environment,” says Oracle CEO Safra Catz, who spoke at the recent Oracle OpenWorld Europe in London. But these transformations can lead to better customer understanding, financial decisions, and operations. At Oracle, by using the company’s own cloud-based applications and infrastructure, “things that would take weeks, like supply chain planning, now take an hour,” Catz says.

Data Science Is a Team Sport. Up Your Game Oracle built its new Oracle Cloud Data Science Platform to make it easier for data science teams to collaboratively build, train, and deploy machine-learning models. The goal: “To increase the success of data science projects,” says Oracle’s Greg Pavlik, by adding capabilities such as shared projects, model catalogs, team security policies, and reproducibility and auditability features. What else does it deliver?

Top 10 Strategic CIO Priorities for 2020 First on the list: Accelerate the pace of innovation. CIOs need to see the broad shift to the cloud, including autonomous technologies, as freeing their IT organizations to spend more time and money on developing customer-wowing, market-share-expanding, products and services—and less time and money on system maintenance, tuning, security, and upgrades. What’s next?

Oracle Builds on Cloud Momentum with Five New Regions Worldwide To run critical systems in the cloud, Oracle customers need fully independent cloud regions for disaster recovery purposes. That’s why Oracle has committed to having 36 cloud regions available by the end of 2020. Just this month, the company announced local regions in Saudi Arabia, Australia, Japan, Canada, and the Netherlands, all open for business and available in the Oracle Cloud Console.
