Welcoming OpenAPI 3.0 to Apiary by Kyle

I’m delighted to announce experimental support for OpenAPI 3.0 in Apiary. OpenAPI 3 is the new major version of the OpenAPI Specification, the successor to OpenAPI 2 (or formerly known as Swagger 2).

While we are not yet supporting all of the new features added OAS 3 such as callbacks and links , we’ve built a solid foundation of our parser which will allow us to incrementally roll out support for new features across our entire product line. Whether it be in our mock server, Dredd, our new documentation renderer or our API Style Guide product. Read the complete article here.

Integrate SaaS Partner Webcast October 29th 2019

Attend our October edition of the PaaS Partner Community Webcast live on October 29^th 2019 16:30 CET.

Integration to applications is dramatically simplified by the use of application adapters that eliminate the complexity associated with web services and other connectivity methods. Simplify your integration to connect with virtually any application, service, or data store. Oracle offers a library of these adapters to provide you with a standardized way to rapidly connect the various protocols required by each application vendor. In addition to application connectors for CX, ERP, and HCM, there are database, productivity, social, RPA, and technology adapters. For more information please visit the website here.

Integration with API less Systems – Leveraging RPA – Definitive Tip #10 by Phil Wilkins

Traditionally integrating with systems that don’t offer APIs or a shared storage mechanism (such as open tables) has been something of a headache often resulting in the ‘last mile’ of the integration process being manual. The manual steps often come because the cost of building and maintaining the means to integrate has not been cost effective or even an option (vendor has end of lifted a product, and not willing to add an integration mechanism).

The idea of ‘screen scraping’ isn’t new, but the cost of implementing such mechanisms has dropped and the new generation of Robotic Process Automation (RPA) tools such those provided by UiPath have made it significantly easier to integrate and automate UI driven processes. Whilst UI based integration isn’t recommended as a first option for integration, it shouldn’t be ruled out particularly as it gets easier and easier to generate and maintain the UI automation. There are several factors that need to be considered as to whether such an approach is appropriate, for example:

• the ability to run a robot to execute the UI interaction,
• the volume of data needing to be moved through the UI – you wont escape the latency issues that may exist with UI steps,
• is the UI being automated changing rapidly (is there enough cost benefit for automating). Read the complete article here.

Cloud Integration Patterns Using Oracle PaaS by Abhay Kumar

Integration is a key aspect in any Cloud implementation. The integration usecases can be presented in many forms such as integrating cloud applications and on-premises applications in real-time or getting a data into an application from a file generated by a data-source or it can exposing APIs to an application which does not  expose web-services natively. This blog describes high-level integration patterns using Oracle’s PaaS services. This blog provides high-level design patterns backed by a real-world usecases. Some of these patterns may have an implementation reference that provides drill down details into the implementation of these patterns. However, some patterns may not have the implementation details as yet. Overall the objective of this blog provides the readers a high-level idea on what common patterns that have been implemented in the field. Read the complete article here.
