Installing OIC Connectivity Agent on OCI Compute by Niall Commiskey

This is a follow up from the previous OCI Streaming post – the OCI Streaming connection requires a connectivity agent to be specified, when one uses the connection as a trigger. I tried this out with the connectivity agent installed on my laptop. Naturally, this is not feasible for any organization, so installation of the agent on an OCI Compute is a compelling alternative.

Step 1 – Spin up an OCI Compute Instance -  You can accept the defaults – Read the complete article here.

Restricting access to OIC instances

Restrict the networks that have access to your Oracle Integration instance by configuring an allowlist (formerly a whitelist). Only users from the specific IP addresses, Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) blocks, and virtual cloud networks that you specify can access the Oracle Integration instance.

For the Oracle Integration instance, configure the allowlist when you create the instance or after creating the instance.

Option 1 for Configuring Allowlists: Restrict Access to Oracle Integration Using the Self-service Allowlist Capabilities

In this scenario, you restrict access to Oracle Integration using an allowlist. The allowlist restricts access based on the following parameters:

• Single IP address
• Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) block (that is, an IP address range)
• Virtual Cloud Network Oracle Cloud ID (VCN OCID)

Additionally, your organization might have a service gateway. The service gateway lets your virtual cloud network (VCN) privately access Oracle Integration without exposing the data to the public internet.

Only the specified IP addresses and VCN OCIDs can access Oracle Integration. Users and systems accessing Oracle Integration from listed VCNs have full access.

Advantages

• Easy setup! You can configure your allowlist in just a few minutes, without having to create a custom endpoint.
• All traffic is supported, including REST, SOAP, and other internet traffic.

Ways to download connectivity agent Oracle Integration by Ankur Jain

The connectivity agent is used to establish the communication between SaaS and on-premises applications. Before you create the connection with on-premises applications in Oracle Integration, you must have to download the connectivity agent and install it on the host machine.

There are various ways to download the connectivity agent. So, in this short article, we’ll describe various options to download the connectivity agent of Oracle Integration.

1. Using Oracle Integration Console

The easiest way to download the connectivity agent is using the Oracle Integration console. To download it using the Oracle Integration console follow the below steps:

1. Login into the Oracle Integration Console.
2. Navigate to the Integrations -> Agents page
3. Click on the Download -> Connectivity Agent option from the upper right corner of the page.

This will start downloading the connectivity agent and a file with the name oic_connectivity_agent.zip will be downloaded on your default download location. You can then transfer it to the host machine where you want to install a connectivity agent. Read the complete article here.

OIC Pub/Sub with OCI Streaming Part 3 by Niall Commiskey

This final post in the series covers using the OCI Streaming adapter as a Trigger.

This requires us to specify a connectivity agent in the connection definition. My Streaming api endpoint is public, so the connectivity agent can run anywhere e.g. on my laptop.

Here I leverage my agent group – NIALLC_AGENTGROUP. Now to the integration with OCI Streaming as trigger -  Read the complete article here.

OIC Pub/Sub with OCI Streaming Part 2 by Niall Commiskey

Here we have multiple subscribers, let’s call them cg01 and cg02 – cg standing for consumer group. The previous post had 1 subscriber, now we are looking at 2. This is very easy to implement. One just needs separate integrations per subscriber, it’s what you would require anyway. So let’s check out my OIC artefacts –

AA-StreamingProducts-Subscribe is configured to subscribe as consumer cg01. AA-StreamingProducts-Subscribe-CG02 is configured to subscribe as consumer cg02. Read the complete article here.

OIC Pub/Sub with OCI Streaming by Niall Commiskey

Simple use case here – publish and subscribes to events from Shopify.

Normally I would be doing this with orders, however, my trial Shopify account doesn’t allow me to create orders, so I’m leveraging Products here. But, I know you are all experts at extrapolating.

Now someone may think of using Pub/Sub pattern available when creating a new integration in OIC. However, as you can see – it has been deprecated.

The publish to OIC integration style has been deprecated. Oracle recommends that you use app driven orchestration and use an invoke to publish a message into the OIC streaming service. Read the complete article here.
