SOA Suite to OIC – how easy is it? Part 2 by Niall Commiskey

In this post, I look at the similarities/differences between SOA Suite and OIC, both from a design time and runtime perspective. I then look at an approach to implementing SOA integrations in OIC.

SOA Suite and OIC 

Now let’s go a bit deeper and compare the components of each.

I like to tell customers OIC is a toolkit. The tools include Integration – to connect apps, Process – to extend apps or implement custom business processes, Visual Builder – to create net new apps on top of your App apis, Integration Insight – giving you business user facing Dashboards and Alerts on top of your integrations and processes. Complement these with a B2B component and an sftp conform File Server then you have the toolkit that is OIC. But there is more…

OIC runs on OCI, along with many other PaaS services from Oracle. Many of these services could be interesting for you from an integration perspective as well e.g. OCI API Gateway to protect your OIC apis, OCI Streaming Service (Kafka), OCI Functions (Serverless Functions for your more complex business logic), OCI Eventing and OCI Logging – to name but a few. OIC provides adapters for many of these services – net, net OCI services can provide a compelling business value-add to OIC.

To the above we can add Service Bus, BAM (Business Activity Monitoring), MFT (Managed File Transfer) and B2B components. Naturally both come with a rich set of adapters – SOA Suite has 20+ adapters, OIC has more than 70 and growing. Read the complete article here.

SOA Suite to OIC –> how easy is it? By Niall Commiskey

This is the first in a series of posts addressing current SOA Suite customers interested in leveraging Oracle Integration Cloud. We currently have many SOA Suite customers adopting OIC. This adoption can take different forms –

1. "Migrating" existing SOA composites to OIC –

Here we are essentially talking about re-implementing the existing SOA Suite composites in OIC. I have many customers doing this and doing it very well. One of them had ca. 200 integrations to implement in OIC. This work was done by a team of 2 developers over a period of 6 months – that is from initial development to production.

2. Lift and Shift SOA Suite on-premise to SOA on OCI – Net new integrations implemented on OIC –

Think of the following scenario – customer is doing a lift and shift of E-Business Suite on-premise to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). SOA Suite is heavily used so it makes sense to lift and shift this component as well. Customer then adopts a cloud based CRM and now has net new integration requirements in respect of, for example, opportunity to order between CRM and EBS.

3. Co-existence – Net new OIC integrations invoking SOA Suite processes via the OIC SOA Suite adapter and SOA Suite composites invoking OIC integrations.

This post, is, hopefully, the first of many on this theme. I begin with the simple BPEL process shown above and go deeper as we go along. The process is very simple – allowing me to insert an Order in the Database, via a SOAP interface. Read the complete article here.

Example of CRUD ops using Rest API :- How to Cancel Invoice Using Rest API in OIC by Deb Mukherjee

Oracle Fusion Helps with Rest API to access different objects and perform CRUD operations from Backend. First try this in SOAP UI/POST Man and copy the response payload.
Please ensure the user has proper role to access this rest API.
Please note the response content-type is :
Content-Type: application/vnd.oracle.adf.resourceitem+json

Create a REST Type connection.
