Attend our February edition of the PaaS Partner Community Webcast live on February 26th 2020 at 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.

How to invoke an Integration from another Integration: Oracle Integration Cloud by Ankur Jain

image

In this blog, we are going to showcase how to call an existing integration from another integration without creating a separate connection. This feature is available in the OIC version 18.3.1 onwards. This feature is available using the feature flag "oic.ics.console.integration.invoke.local.integration". Please go through the blog which helps you to see the feature flag functionality in Oracle Integration Cloud.

Will create a new REST API which will call existing Integration SAMPLE_REST. This  SAMPLE_REST is the rest API which takes one request parameter(name) and gives the response in JSON.
Below is the structure of SAMPLE_REST integration: Read the complete article here.

Search across business identifiers while monitoring instances by Arya Sanyal

image

In OIC Console, a new enhancement has been added which can help users search across primary and secondary business identifiers across instances. To try this out, OIC instance needs to be on 19.3.1.0.0 (190709.0200.29920) or later.

While on Monitoring -> Tracking page of OIC Console, until now, searching for instances containing a specific business identifier value was limited to either primary identifiers or secondary identifiers. But with this enhancement users can search for values across both identifier types.

The UI search has been enhanced to support this as well as the REST API.

So how does it work? Here’s how.

Suppose we have multiple instances of different Integrations and they have common values for primary and secondary business identifiers. This is how it will look like on the Tracking page: Read the complete article here.

OIC: Handling Optional Elements in a REST Integration by Jan Kettenis

image

This article is a follow-up of the a previous article where I discuss how to handle optional elements in case of XML in the Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC). In the following I discuss how to create an integration that invokes VBCS REST service and works in (almost) the same way as the VBCS REST service itself.
A challenge with mapping is always how to handle optional elements. In the previous posting that I refer to above, I describe a way how to deal with this in case of XML messages. As I found out (the hard way) this is cannot be applied 100% to JSON.
I have made it work for an integration that invokes the REST service on a VBCS business object. As there are challenges especially with numeric fields and references (foreign keys), I have used a simple BO called Detail having a string field, a number field and a reference. With VBCS BO’s the latter implies a number field that references the (number) id field of another BO it refers to, which in this case is called Master. Read the complete article here.

London Oracle Developer Meetup – OIC Patterns and more by Phil Wilkins

image

This Meetup was put together quickly as it presented an opportunity to align with other events happening in the Oracle offices. Despite the relatively short notice we a turn out that really made great use of our speaker – Sid Joshi who walked through the Enterprise Level patterns supported by Oracle’s Integration Cloud (OIC) including a demo showing how PaaS4SaaS worked using Service Cloud and OIC making use of VBCS and integration (formerly ICS) parts of the API Platform.

As with all the meet-ups we allow the discussions to flow freely. So, the conversation probed different aspects of OIC. So with the follow up on Several Capgemini use cases of OIC that have won the team awards.

You can see these use cases here. Sid’s presentation is available AppIntegrationPatterns_MeetUp. Additional resources can also be obtained from https://oracle-integration.cloud

As the conversation has focused on OIC and the use cases rather than our ongoing Drones with APIs stories, I have had an interesting follow on discussion about the application of drones.  The drone story has many threads.  The initial driver for the work on the drone has been about bringing something interesting and distinctive to the meetup.  The drone is very tangible, and the source of amusement which makes the meetups a lot more fun. Read the complete article here.

The Future of Supply Chain Technology with Blockchain & IoT by Mario Vollbracht

image

The overall positioning of Blockchain, and the connection between Blockchain and IoT

In the consumer markets industries today, connected consumers are expecting a seamless, personalized and transparent shopping experience. Retailers and brand manufacturers alike have little choice but to respond, unless they want to be left behind. One key technology being discussed at length in this equation is blockchain. I sat down with Prasen Palvankar, the Senior Director of Product Management for IoT Applications Cloud & Blockchain Applications Cloud, to get his perspective on what he is seeing.

Q. Let me start with the obvious question around blockchain – the technology is arguably over-hyped, with many people looking at this technology, much like a silver bullet. What is your perspective?

This is true, at least in the enterprise blockchain area, a lot of people are looking for a problem to solve using blockchain rather than looking at how existing solutions can be enhanced using blockchain or how previously unaddressed issues could be addressed with the help of blockchain. Frequently, blockchain is being viewed as just a secure, distributed data store. The core value prop of enabling trust without the need for a central authority is not being considered.
