How SOA Suite Adapter Can Help Leverage your On-premises Investments by Vijaya Bhat

The SOA Suite Adapter on Oracle Integration (OIC) enables you to take advantage of the latest feature rich adapters on OIC, while leveraging your existing investments on SOA Suite and Service Bus. It provides a rich design-time experience to create a single connection to SOA Suite / Service Bus, browse through the services running on them, and create integrations. For runtime, it relies on the standard SOAP and REST Adapters with or without the Connectivity Agent, depending on how the SOA Suite / Service Bus is accessible over the network.

The current SOAP and REST adapters on OIC already provide integration to these services, but with this new adapter, you can do away with the hassles of multiple connections or fetching service metadata manually.

The SOA Suite adapter supports connectivity to:

• Oracle SOA Suite and/or Oracle Service Bus hosted on-premise
• Oracle SOA Suite and/or Oracle Service Bus hosted on SOA Cloud Services

Configuring SOA Suite Adapter to connect to a SOA Suite / Service Bus instance

In the connection palette, select the SOA Suite Adapter.

Provide a meaningful name for this connection and click on ‘Create‘. This opens up the page where the connection details can be configured. Read the complete article here.

How Much Oracle Integration Cloud Do I Need?

Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC) is a powerful platform for application integration, process automation, and streamlined mobile and web development. It incorporates machine learning recommendations to accelerate every step of designing and delivering integrations.

With all of the capability that OIC delivers, how do you determine how much OIC you need to purchase? How does your usage of the features in OIC influence the rate of consumption? In this blog we will cover:

• What are the high level components of OIC
• What is the billing metric for OIC
• How the billing metric is defined and calculated
• Scenarios of how the billing metric is consumed for the various components of OIC.

To best understand how the OIC billing metric is consumed, we must first have an awareness of the high level functional capabilities of OIC. Read the complete article here.

Oracle Integration Cloud pricing explained – OCI vs Classic by Robert van Molken

Last week at AMIS we had the task of estimating costs of a proposed iPaaS solution for one of our customers that runs on a fully managed cloud. As AMIS is mainly an Oracle partner we looked at how competitive we could make the pricing of the solution using Oracle Cloud compared to other vendors. In this blog I will not go into much details of this vendor compare matrix, as I want to focus on the pricing of Oracle and how it has changed over time. Bottom-line: for our use-case I was positively surprised by the outcome.

Let’s start by looking at the pricing of Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC), the licensing options and estimation rules belonging to each options. Currently the pricing page lists two main service types; Oracle Integration and Integration Classic. The difference between the two is that classic uses the OCPU metric, whereas the updated pricing uses a messages/hour metric. Both options are still available for you to purchase. For each service type you can choose between standard and enterprise package and two payments methods, pay-as-you-go and monthly flex. Optionally you can bring your own (existing on-premises) license to get some mayor price cuts. In the next paragraphs I will go over the differences in more details. Read the complete article here.

Oracle Integration – Get Started free hands-on training labs from Oracle OpenWorld

In these hands-on labs, you’ll be working with two of the key capabilities of Oracle Integration; application integration and process automation.

The labs are broken into two parts. Part one will cover application integration where you’ll create an integration to update subscription usage data in Oracle Engagement Cloud. Part two will cover process automation where you’ll create a Process App to automate the self service collection of usage data and update that subscription usage data in Oracle Engagement Cloud Subscription Management. While you will benefit from completing both labs in order, the labs are designed such that you can work on them independently.

The business scenario is to create a self-service Subscription Management application that allows subscribers of a good or service to self report subscription usage. Once subscription usage data is reported, the application will automate the review and approval of that data, and if approved, automate updating Oracle Engagement Cloud Subscription Management with the usage data. This scenario represents a common business process where requests are made, reviewed, approved, and result in updates to an enterprise application. Digitizing and automating these types of business process can yield significant benefits.

Labs

Access to Oracle Integration is secured through Oracle Identity Cloud Service. Users may be granted access to all the Oracle Integration environments in a cloud tenancy, or they may be restricted to specific environments. They may be assigned different roles in each environment.

1. Integration Lab
2. Process Lab
