|
| Accelerators and recipes are a great way to kick-start on building your integrations. Accelerators are run-ready business integrations or technical patterns you can configure and activate. Recipes are starter templates that give you a head start. |
|
|
| New update in OIC allow us to replace any connection used in an integration with another connection of same Type and Role. Earlier if you want to replace any existing connection of an integration for that you had to delete the existing connection and then configure a new connection in place of that. |
|
|
| In the previous blog we have seen how to Install and Run a Recipe - Extract New Hire Info from Oracle HCM Cloud. Extract definition is created and executed in HCM Cloud as a pre-requisite for the OOTB Recipe to work. |
|
|
| Update lookups in Oracle Integration Cloud are one of the most common requirements and this has been asked in multiple forums on how to update lookup hence the article is written. |
|
|
| One of the big challenges regarding migrations is operational risk when moving from the old solution to the new one. Oracle Cloud provides technologies and tools that help reduce the risk to almost zero by leveraging patterns that allow the coexistence of both solutions during the migration phase, giving the alternative to deploy Oracle CX in tracks that can go live sequentially avoiding a big bang approach which typically sounds scaring. |
|
|
| I'm writing this blog because some of the existing documentation is a bit confusing and I initially struggled to get the new OIC Streams Adapter configured. |
|
|
| My first real foray into the magical world of bookkeeping. What is a journal entry? Apparently journal entries are used to record business transactions. And remember the books must always balance - so here's an example for a sales entry - I sell my Hare of the Dog T-Shirt on credit, so I need to debit accounts receivable and credit sales. Ask your accountant, if you need to know more. |
|
|
| Oracle Integration has a great feature to periodically run a flow instance according to a schedule. This schedule can be something simple, like "run every 10 minutes" or something more complex using a calendar ICS definition. This works great for scenarios that run periodically, then exit. |
|
|
| In this blog, let's create a basic inbound integration flow that receives an EDI document through a REST request, parses and validates the EDI, converts it to XML, and returns the XML in the response. |
|
|
| The 2 previous posts dealt with Technical Accelerators, now to the recipes. Recipes are best practice implementations of common use cases. They provide a very quick start to implementing these. Let's look at the above recipe; as you can see, I have already installed it. |
|
|
| The new Home page gives you an ability to get jump-started on building your integrations that are called as Accelerators and Recipes. Accelerators are run-ready business integrations or technical patterns you can configure and activate. |
|
|
Oracle Integration provides support for B2B e-commerce with B2B for Oracle Integration.
B2B for Oracle Integration represents a collective set of features inside Oracle Integration to support EDI document processing. |
|
|
| Let's try out the Re-sequencer - useful for my simple use case of requencing orders by orderNr, before processing them. The job of the re-sequencer is to process the input messages, in my case - orders, based on a sequence id - e.g. orderNr, as opposed to processing them based on time of arrival. |
|
|
| On this post will see a way for creating XSLT maps that need to loop thought different sources (aka input payloads) which their instances are correlated by key fields. |
|
|
| This article discussed how to configure the endpoint of a Connection to an ORDS REST service (AutoREST or REST Module) in such a way that you have the right part of the URI in the right place and can easily refactor it or promote your application to another environment. |
|
|
A technical accelerator package that allows one to send Alert Notifications from your integrations, based on a variety of parameters:
• channels - EMAIL, Pager, JIRA, Custom
• integrations - different channels/recipents for different integrations etc.
• Errors/Failure Messages - different channels/recipients based on the error message thrown etc. |
|
|
| Over the past couple of years, I have been involved in more and more projects and proofs-of-concept moving assets from Oracle SOA Suite to Oracle Integration Cloud. |
