What's New 24.06 Release by Niall Commiskey
Common Features
Integration Core
Oracle Integration Projects Now Support Events
You can now add Oracle Integration events to your project. These events can then be leveraged (publish / subscribe) in your project's integrations. This adds Pub/Sub capabilities to your projects.
Service Limit for Activated Integrations
This limit has been increased from 700 to 800.
Debug Tracing Level Reset After 24 Hours
Setting trace to debug causes all actions and payloads to be logged. This is an expensive operation. Therefore, starting with 24.06, the trace level is reset from Debug to Production after 24 hours.
Customers can set the trace level to Audit, if they need to capture inbound payloads, etc.
OIC Observability
Design-Time Dependency

New Adapters and Enhancements in Oracle Integration 24.06 by Madhav Poosarla
Welcome to Oracle Integration's 24.06 release, featuring significant enhancements to the RAB infrastructure. We are introducing the OpenAPI-based ADD conversion alongside improvements for multicloud integrations. Key updates also include the new Coupa Procurement Adapter for streamlined procurement workflows and the Aconex Adapter for improved project management and collaboration.

Enhanced security measures provide greater data protection, and certifications for the latest APIs versions, including the SAP S/4HANA Adapter and Shopify Adapter. This underscores our dedication to versatile cloud integrations as we continue to enable private endpoint capabilities for more adapters.
Here's a glimpse of the enhancements that will be showcased:
RAB Enhancements - OpenAPI-based ADD conversion, simplified ADD registration, and Action Management.
Coupa Procurement Adapter - New adapter.
Aconex Adapter - New adapter.
Coupa Sourcing Adapter - Supports attachment download and enhanced security with the Authorization Code Security Policy.

OIC 24.06 Release New Features by Niall Commiskey
The mid-summer release of OIC3 has a lot in it. So, without further ado, let's begin. For me, the most compelling feature is the design time dependencies viewer we get in Projects.

Iterative Adapter Development Using the Rapid Adapter Builder with Oracle Integration by Madhav Poosarla
Following up on my previous blog, Build Your First Adapter with the Rapid Adapter Builder in Oracle Integration, we will now explore the iterative development of an adapter using a Postman collection as the source document.
Adding New Requests to the Existing ADD
In the previous blog, we selected the operations Get a Workspace, Get multiple workspaces, Get all projects in a workspace, and Get all Users to create the adapter. Now, let's see how to enhance the Adapter Definition Document (ADD) with two more operations: Create a project in a workspace and Remove a user from a workspace or Organization.
Ensure you have the new intended operations available in the Postman collection. Follow these steps to add new requests to your existing ADD:
1. Right-click the Postman collection and select RAB: Add Requests from Postman Collection.
Built Your First Adapter with the Rapid Adapter Builder in Oracle Integration by Madhav Poosarla
In conjunction with my previous blog, Revolutionizing Integrations with the Rapid Adapter Builder (RAB) in Oracle Integration, we now delve deeper into the practical implementation of building an adapter using RAB. Join us as we navigate the essential prerequisites, development insights, and step-by-step details in this series of technical blogs.
In this particular blog, we focus on understanding the essential prerequisites for adapter development and invoking the adapter using a Postman collection as input. Our goal is to create an adapter for the Asana application. We'll illustrate the development steps through a series of upcoming technical blogs.
Now, let's dive into the detailed steps!

Setting Up OAuth and Calling Oracle Integration APIs: A Step-by-Step Guide by Harris Quershi
In this demo video, we provide a step-by-step guide to setting up OAuth and calling Oracle Integration APIs. We'll walk you through registering your application, obtaining client credentials, and generating OAuth tokens. Using Postman, we'll demonstrate how to make authenticated API calls to Oracle Integration, ensuring secure data retrieval and manipulation. Watch the video here.
Monitoring scheduled jobs with OCI Service Metrics by Niall Commiskey
Many customers make use of OIC scheduled integrations, often with tight schedules. Sometimes these schedules cannot be adhered to e.g. I have a job running every 3 minutes, importing sales orders to Netsuite. Job1 starts at 09:00 am, job2 is scheduled to start at 09:03. However, job2 cannot start until job1 has completed. Job1 could be delayed for a variety of reasons -
Copy of function to read any response from SOAP API | Oracle Integration by Ankur Jain
Copy of function allows a deep copy of all child elements of a source parent node to the child elements of the target node in the mapper.
For example: The SOAP API returns the type response which doesn’t include the child elements. The copy-of function can be used to map all elements of SOAP response to map to the target nodes without specifying the exact elements.
We have captured all the necessary steps to show how to use copy-of function in Oracle Integration in the following video. Please look at it end to end.
What's New in OCI Process Automation 24.06 by Stan Tanev
Welcome to the June edition of What’s New in OCI Process Automation (OPA). We will cover the most important features being introduced in the 24.06 release to ensure that you are up to date with the latest changes.
This release introduces many important features such as the ability to attach documents to OPA start forms, call OIC project-based integrations, initiate processes based on a timer event, improve the look and feel of your process forms with external stylesheets, discover and trigger decision services with ease with the help of an auto-generated OpenAPI specification, and much more.
Attach Documents in Start Forms
With this release, OCI Process Automation allows you to attach documents to a Start Form. This allows business users to add documents when initiating a process with a form. For instance, assume I am filling out a leave of absence request. I can now easily attach my draft medical certificate to the request form. Attachments added in this way are made available to the process flow and are accessible by subsequent human tasks, allowing approvers to download and review submitted documents.

Oracle Integration Gen2 PCS to Gen3 OPA Upgrade: Part 1 by Jan Kettenis
In a short series of articles, I will discussed some challenges you may face when upgrading Oracle Integration Gen2 (OIC 2) Process (PCS) to Gen3 (OIC 3) Oracle Process Automation (OPA) applications.
Disclaimer: these below provide a snapshot at the time of writing. Things may have changed by the time you read it. It is also important to mention that this does not necessarily represent the view of Oracle.
When you have implemented a somewhat more complex Process application in OIC 2, you are likely in the situation where you need to take some action before you can do an in-place upgrade or migrate to OPA. An in-place upgrade means that Oracle upgrades the OIC 2 instance to OIC 3 without you having to do anything other than perhaps reactivate your application. When that is not possible (and there are a few situations where that will be the case) you must fall back to a migration scenario, where you instantiate an OIC 3 instance, export the applications from OIC 2, import them into OPA, refactor a bit and then bring them live on OIC 3. |
