Road to Oracle Cloud by Markus Lohn

In this blogpost, I want to share my experience of migrating an Oracle SOA solution from on-premise to the cloud. But why was it necessary to think about this possibility? More than two years ago, our customer launched a comprehensive program to to make sales fit for the future. A huge area also covered IT support and automation of sales business processes. The solution introduced the use of different cloud system that have to be integrated. The integration part was achieved with the Oracle SOA platform. The SOA platform connects internal IT systems with external business partners and customers. The SOA platform is operated on-premise in the customer’s DMZ zone.

Now that several systems have already been operated in the cloud and due to limited resources available to operate the SOA platform, the customer considered to move the platform into the cloud. The primary goal of a cloud deployment was to relieve the operations team. This allows the operations team to focus on functional monitoring. Furthermore, the following objectives were important:

• The manufacturer ensures the best support for the operation of the platform, e.g. load balancing and clustering.
• Installation of patches or new versions performed by the software provider.
• HA capabilities are already firmly integrated in the cloud service and the system is continuously protected by backups against failure.
• Additional resources can be easily requested or returned on demand. Read the complete article here.

Leverage Microsoft Email Adapter to send email using Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC) (Part-1) by Ankur Jain

Though Oracle Integration Cloud provides Notification Activity which is used to send an Email notification to any number of recipients at a time. However, there is such a situation where the Notification activity doesn’t full fill the purpose. For example: If there is a requirement where the email notification is required along with attachment then in that case, Notification activity will not full fill the purpose. In such scenarios, the MS email adapter will help to send an email along with Attachments.

We are splitting the article into two parts:
In the first part, we’ll show how to send email notification using the MS email adapter
In second part, we’ll show how to send email notification along with attachment using MS email adapter. In the first part, we’ll create scheduler integration which will send a notification to the single recipient.
Below are the high-level activities which need to perform  to achieve the use case

• Configure MS Email adapter in Oracle Integration Cloud
• Create Scheduled Integration

OIC integration with Fusion HCM & the efficacy of BI reports & HCM REST APIs by Niall Commiskey

I am not a HCM expert, but playing around with the Oracle HCM adapter did force me to dig a bit deeper into how HCM works. It all began with a relatively simple file based integration that "imported" a worker into HCM. The integration had a REST trigger and leveraged the Oracle HCM adapter as well as the technical SOAP adapter.

I ran a test from Postman, with, what a colleague told me was, a valid REST payload, one of the attributes being BusinessUnitID.

{ "PersonNumber":"77012", "StartDate":"2014/01/01", "DateOfBirth":"1988/05/23", "LegislationCode":"US", "FirstName":"FirstName0112", "LastName":"LastName0112", "LegalEmployerName":"US1 Legal Entity", "BusinessUnitId":"458", "JobId":"300100003260508" }

I tested the integration and then went into Fusion HCM to validate what I had done. From an OIC perspective, the integration flow had executed successfully. So off I ventured into HCM. Read the complete article here.

Migrate Integration Cloud Service (ICS) Integrations to Integration Cloud (OIC) by Ankur Jain

This article is written to show how to migrate ICS artifacts including Integrations, Connections, Lookups, packages, libraries etc. to OIC. Since, ICS /OIC provides the export and import feature but this is limited to single integration at a time. What about, if there are 100’s of integration which are there in the ICS and wanted to migrate all integrations once.

To do so, there is Clone utility which is provided for bulk export all the integrations, connections, packages, libraries and other artifacts from ICS to OIC. This clone utility is the set of REST APIs in ICS / OIC. ICS provides REST APIs to bulk export ICS artifacts and OIC provides REST APIs to import these exported artifacts.

Prerequisites:

• Oracle Cloud Storage Container with create / update permissions
• Existing ICS service with Admin role access to the service
• OIC service with Admin role access to the service
• A feature flag has to be enabled on OIC to enable clone utility. To turn on the feature flag, open a Service Request with Oracle support

Artifacts, which can be exported using the Clone Utility:

• Integrations
• Connections including credentials
• Lookups
• Libararies
• Certificates
• Packages

Note: Agent groups can not be exported, this need to be created manually

Below is the pictorial representation, which will give a high level, thought on how migration works

Let me explain the diagram in more detail

• Execute the export API to export ICS artifacts
• The first steps will create the archive file automatically and save into Oracle Storage Cloud container. Read the complete article here.

OIC Integration 101 Part V – Social adapters – Facebook and Twitter by Niall Commiskey

Just a quick introduction to some of our Social adapters. Facebook – social media for over 50s

You will need a Facebook account to do this lab. Essentially, you will create a new page under your Facebook account. Then you will leverage the OIC Facebook adapter to retrieve Page details and then retrieve Page posts. So let’s begin –

developers.facebook.com setup

You will need an account at developers.facebook.com
Simply go in and create one.
Essentially what you do is create an App.
The work that we do via the FB adapter will be in the context of this app.

Note the App ID and App Secret they will be needed for creating the OIC connection to Facebook. You also need to set the callback url for OIC. Read the complete article here.
