OIC moving to a quarterly update cycle by Niall Commiskey
We’ve heard from many of you that a less frequent and more predictable release cadence would make it easier to plan and adopt new capabilities.
To support this, we are simplifying the schedule and moving to a quarterly release cycle. This will begin in January 2026.
Moving to a quarterly release cycle will give you more time to check out and adopt new features, while ensuring we continue to deliver innovation with the highest quality.
As part of this transition, we will be skipping the previously announced 25.08 release.
So our next update will be 25.10, which will deliver exciting new enhancements, including many AI-powered capabilities.
25.10 will be our final release, before we begin our new quarterly cadence.
Thank you for your partnership as we continue to deliver capabilities that help you automate and innovate with confidence.
Four Different Ways to Create an Oracle Integration Instance by Antony Reynolds
I am often asked how to automate the creation of an Oracle Integration instance. There are a variety of different ways to create an instance. In this blog, we discuss the pros and cons of each method.
Overview of Options
There are basically four different ways to create an Oracle Integration instance. These are introduced in the table, which gives a high level view of the complexity of the method and the pros and cons of the method.
Method Complexity Benefits Challenges
User interface Low Simple to use. Provides a web form-driven approach. Doesn't lend itself to automation. Certain scenarios cannot be implemented using this method.
Command Line Medium Can be scripted using any shell that has the OCI command line configured. Supports all use cases. Requires looking up OCIDs of various parameters such as compartment ID and potentially the identity domain. Expects the OCI environment to be configured.
Terraform Medium Can be easily integrated with creation of other resources such as compartments. Supports all use cases. Requires retrieving OCIDs either through variables from other terraform actions or as directly-injected values. Expects the OCI environment to be configured.
API High Supports all use cases. Can be used with a variety of programming languages. Requires getting OCIDs. Expects the OCI environment to be configured.
Note that the first three methods are just wrappers for the API. All lifecycle operations are performed using the API.
Let's look at each option in more detail.
Control Plane User Interface
After logging into an OCI tenancy, it is possible to create an Oracle Integration instance by selecting the Developer Services > Integration menu item and clicking Create Instance.
OIC Activity Stream Tracing Levels and OCI Logging by Niall Commiskey
This post details how OIC activity stream logs surface in OCI Logging. It also shows exactly what you will see in OCI Logging, depending on the trace level you select, when activating your integration.
The post also covers some of the possibilities you have for interrogating these logs in OCI Logging.
Finally, we take a look at OCI Dashboards, which allow us to add widgets, based on OCI Service Metrics as well as the OIC activity stream, pushed to OCI.
You can do a lot with this data in OCI Logging; pushing these logs from OIC, can also be a conduit to OCI Logging analytics. There you can create really powerful, actionable dashboards.
But today, it's back to basics - what do I get in OCI Logging, when I push the activity stream logs from OIC. Not only that, we will also take a look at OCI Dashboards!
Let's start with a simple example -
Our integration, shipOrder, has 3 tracking fields - orderNr, customerNr and productNr. Each of these are initially set to values contained in the request payload. The only logic in the integration is assigning the value "MyCustomer" to the customerNr tracking field.
OCI Log Analytics - Leveraging LoganAI for OIC insights by Niall Commiskey
I've been a great advocate of OCI Log Analytics for a very long time. As you all probably know, it is very easy to push your OIC activity stream logs to OCI Log Analytics. And there the magic begins!
LoganAI is a new capability that allows you to interpret your log data via a chat interface, i.e. no more need for constructing complex MQL queries - just ask and you shall receive!
For those new to OCI Log analytics, I suggest you check out the plethora of posts available here.
For those that want a deep dive into LoganAI first, then check out the excellent post from Kumar here.
All read up? Then let's start with the following project in OIC and the 4 order processing integrations we'll look at -
Understanding of Rapid Adapter Builder (RAB) | Oracle Integration by Ankur Jain
Oracle Integration offers numerous adapter to connect to various applications and simplify your application integrations.Those adapters are written using Software Development Kit (SDK) which is time consuming activity.
What is Rapid Adapter Builder (RAB)?
To simplify the development and bring new Adapters into market faster, OIC has launched a new feature called RAB that allows quickly to build new Adapters.
The good news is, that RAB is available to every customer/partner/developer to build custom Adapters to meet their specific application integration requirements.
With the Rapid Adapter Builder in Oracle Integration, anyone can build their own adapters for any application that exposes RESTful APIs, without having to write complex code from scratch.
In case Oracle doesn’t provide an Adapter for your applications, you can build your own application adapter using the REST APIs provided by the application team.
RAB offers all the necessary infrastructure to build your own adapters for Oracle Integration.
Process of Building Adapter using Rapid Adapter Builder (RAB) | Oracle Integration by Ankur Jain
This article demonstrates the process of building an Adapter using Rapid Adapter Builder (RAB).
The previous article describes what is Rapid Adapter Builder. Please refer to the previous article, before you get into this article.
1. Get the OIC credentials:
• Create a confidential application in the identity domain with grant type as client credentials.
• Assign the ServiceDeveloper role to the confidential application.
• Obtain the client id, client secret, and scope from the generated confidential application.
• Obtain the OAuth token URL.
2. Ready with the POSTMAN collection:
•
Collect the Open API document / REST APIs of the application you want to develop an adapter for.
• Postman collection for the operations you want to encapsulate in the adapter.
• Save sample responses of all the APIs in POSTMAN.
• Export the collection.
3. Download Visual Studio code and add RAB extension:
• Download and Install Visual Studio Code (VS Code) on your local machine.
• Add the Oracle Integration Cloud Rapid Adapter Builder extension in VS Code.
4. Initialize Workspace in VS Code:
• Prepare the workspace for the adapter using RAB: Initialize Workspace command.
• The command generates the skeleton for the adapter.
• A few folders will be generated automatically once the Workspace is initialized.
• Import the Postman collection under the misc directory.
What is the Adapter Document Definition (ADD)? by Ankur Jain
The previous article explains the complete process of building a custom adapter using RAB in Oracle Integration. This article focuses on Adapter Document Definition (ADD), the only file where you define your adapter’s design and runtime implementation.
To publish an adapter to Oracle Integration, you must define the specifications and functions of your adapter in a JSON metadata file, termed the Adapter Document Definition.
An adapter definition document typically describes the design and implementation of an adapter and contains information about its behavior and properties.
Using the RAB extension, you can quickly create an ADD from a Postman collection of an application’s APIs (or an OpenAPI document describing a set of application APIs), and then you can modify the adapter definition document manually according to your requirements.
The ADD file contains multiple sections the describe the design and implementation of your adapter. The following section explains all the sections contained in the ADD:
Working with the Collection Details Pattern in Oracle Redwood by Mallikarjuna Rao
In this article, we’ll walk through how to use the Collection Details pattern in Redwood with Oracle Visual Builder.
The Collection Detail Page Template component is designed to organize and present lists, while also displaying the details of selected list items inside a dedicated detail panel. It also provides advanced features, such as stacking item details when multiple selections are made.
The Collection Detail Page (oj-sp-collection-detail-page) is a page-level template component that enables developers to combine a list view, a detail panel, and a stacker within the same layout.
This component is divided into four main sections:
1. General Overview Header – serves as the top area for actions like save, cancel, navigating back to the parent page, or moving to the next items.
2. Default Slot – positioned below the header, it holds the oj-sp-collection-container component which displays the main list.
3. Detail Template Slot – placed alongside the default slot, it includes the oj-sp-detail-panel component responsible for showing detailed information of the items selected in the list.
