Using Business Events in Fusion-based SaaS with Oracle Integration Cloud Service – Part 3: Event Filter Expressions by Stefan Koser

In the previous two posts, Part 1 and Part 2, we gave an overview which Business Events are available in R13 and how you can subscribe to events with external applications using Oracle ICS/OIC. In this part, we will show how to filter events using XPath expressions.

Use Cases for Filtering Business Events

The approach on sending a message in case of every creation/update/deletion of a Business Object is not what might be required in a specific use case. In our previous example we showed how to publish an “Item Creation” event in case an new item has been created in SCM Cloud.

One use case could be that an external system needs to have this information – but only for a specific ItemClass only. In our example we will send the “Item Creation” event only in case the item class is “Smartphones”  (using a Vision demo instance of R13 GSI).

Some examples of other potential use cases:

• In a multi-national organization with subsidiaries, events should be sent only to specific countries/regions. For example, an organization could have Oracle Sales Cloud as world-wide CRM solution, but regional different fulfillment systems, for example different for US and EMEA.
• In a Customer Data Management solution (using Oracle Customer Data Management Cloud) you want to send updates to all other participating system – but one external system covers only a subset of customers – for example business customers (B2B).
• Similar use case in a Product Master Data Management solution (using Oracle Product Master Data Management Cloud)

In the next chapter, we will show two examples – for filtering Item Creation events (in SCM) and for filtering Contact Creation Events (in CRM/Sales Cloud).

Defining a Filter for Business Events in Integration Cloud Service

As first step, deactivate the integration previously created in Oracle Integration Cloud Service to enable editing: Read the complete article here.

Using Business Events in Fusion-based SaaS with Oracle Integration Cloud Service – Part 2: Step-by-Step Example by Stefan Koser

Following the overview in Part 1, I will now show detailed steps how to create the event subscriptions. In our example, we will use an “Item Creation” event (from SCM cloud).

Prerequisite: Register CSF Key in SaaS

In a FA-based SaaS instance, the outbound call of a webservice uses a OWSM security policy which retrieves the credentials for the call from a CSF Key. This means that you need to register a CSF key for every connection to an external system. In our case we need to register a CSF key for the ICS/OIC instance:

• The name of the CSF key must match the ICS instance name or OIC account name
• The user must be an ICS/OIC user
• The password must be the password of this ICS/OIC user

You create this CSF key via SOA composer – accessible through the URL   <base_fa_url>/soa/composer

Enter the details and press “Register”. Read the complete article here.

Using Business Events in Fusion-based SaaS with Oracle Integration Cloud Service – Part 1: Overview by Stefan Koser

Introduction

For integration with all Oracle Fusion based Cloud services – like Oracle Sales Cloud and Oracle SCM Cloud, each service provides Business Events which external applications or integrations can subscribe to.

Oracle Integration Cloud Service (ICS) or the new offering Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC) allow very easily to receive (subscribe) to these events and forward them, for example, to external applications. Following a previous A-Team post on Chronicles on Sales Cloud Events, we will give an update on Release 13 and how to use the event filters.

One example would be to publish an event every time a new item in SCM is created. With this event, a call to ICS/OIC is executed which triggers an integration.

The easiest way of subscribing to business events is by using the Oracle Sales Cloud Adapter or Oracle ERP Cloud Adapter (for SCM) in Oracle Integration Cloud Service (ICS).

In the prior release of FA-based solutions – Release 12 – you had to create separate connections for each pillar (CRM, SCM, ERP). This has changed with R13 – now there is a single Service Catalog WSDL URL and a single Events Catalog URL – which simplifies creation of event subscriptions.

In this blog series, I will give an update of the new events available, how to subscribe from ICS – or the new Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC) offering – and how to use Event Expressions to filter only specific events to subscribe to.

List of Business Events in Release 13

This is a list of all Business Events in an R13 GSI instance you can subscribe to (this version is based on Update 17C): Read the complete article here.

Oracle Integration Cloud Update by Phil Wilkins

As previously mentioned, ICS is going to be incorporated into Oracle Integration Cloud.  Since we have had the announcement we have had some more information about OIC released.

The keypoints here are: Read the complete article here.

Troubleshooting Oracle API Platform Cloud Service by Lonneke Dikmans

One of the challenges when working in integration is troubleshooting. This becomes even more challenging with when you start using a new product.
Recently I worked with Oracle Product management (Thank you Darko and Lohit) to troubleshoot issues with an OAuth configuration of APIs in Oracle API Platform Cloud Service.

Setup

The setup was as follows:

1. An API Gateway node deployed to Oracle Compute Cloud Classic as an infrastructure provider
2. Oracle Identity Management Cloud Service in the role of OAuth provider

We setup an API with several policies, including OAuth for security. When we called the service, it gave us a ‘401 unauthorized’ error.

Oracle API Platform Cloud Service troubleshooting

The Oracle API Platform Service offers analytics for each API. You can navigate there by opening the API Platform Management portal, click on the API you want to troubleshoot and click on the Analytics tab (this is the bottom tab).
Click on Errors and Rejections, after setting the period you are interested in. Usually when you are troubleshooting, you would like to see the last hour. Read the complete article here.
