OIC – Salesforce Adapter – Bulk API by Niall Commiskey

As the name suggests –
It allows one to perform Bulk Data Operations:
Inserts, updates, upserts, or deletes of a large volume of records. For those interested, the SFDC Bulk API Doc is here

An extract from the aforementioned –
Bulk API is based on REST principles and is optimized for loading or deleting large sets of data. You can use it to query, queryAll, insert, update, upsert, or delete many records asynchronously by submitting batches. Salesforce processes batches in the background.
SOAP API, in contrast, is optimized for real-time client applications that update a few records at a time. You can use SOAP API for processing many records, but when the data sets contain hundreds of thousands of records, SOAP API is less practical. Bulk API is designed to make it simple to process data from a few thousand to millions of records.
The easiest way to use Bulk API is to enable it for processing records in Data Loader using CSV files. Using Data Loader avoids the need to write your own client application. Read the complete article here.

Confirmation dialog for Submit Now and Start Schedule by Sumit Tomar

Submit Now operation is the most convenient way to invoke a scheduled integration in Oracle Integration Cloud.

Introduction of confirmation dialog for Submit Now operation helps users to avoid unintended submission of submit now request and also allows them to run submit now as part of scheduled runs.

How it works

User can perform Submit Now from Integrations Landing page, Schedule Overview page, and Monitoring Integrations page as shown below.

Integrations Landing page: Read the complete article here.

OIC: Making a REST Integration Returning a 404 instead of 500 by Jan Kettenis

In this article I describe how to return a HTTP 404 (resource) Not Found with a REST integration that on its turn calls another REST service that returns a 404.
When an integration invokes the GET action on a REST service that returns a 404, the integration will raise an APIInvocationError. As a result, the integration on its turn will respond with a HTTP 500 error, which is typically not what you want.
Embedding the invoke in a Scope gives you the option to add a Fault Handler:

Chosing the APIInvocationError gives you the option to configure how any APIInvocationError should be handled. As you can see below, I have configured it to use a Switch, where the top flow will make it return a 404: Read the complete article here.

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

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

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

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.
