| SOA Suite 12.2.1.4 / OIC interoperability by Niall Commiskey |
|
Hybrid integration architectures can be easily implemented, leveraging OIC and SOA Suite. This will be very interesting for existing SOA Suite customers who are moving to the cloud. For example, a customer could have existing integrations running on SOA Suite on-premise that implement orders 2 cash use cases. The customer may adopt a cloud based CRM e.g. Oracle Engagement Cloud or SFDC. She can now leverage OIC and SOA Suite to implement an Opportunity to Cash scenario. OIC responds to the event - new Opportunity created and calls the on-premise integration to do the rest.
Naturally, the interoperability between OIC and SOA Suite is bi-directional. Let's begin with OIC invoking composites, running on SOA Suite. |

| Why and How to Integrate Oracle Policy Automation with Oracle Integration by Cristian Silipigni |
|
Oracle Integration has recently introduced new functionalities to extend its connection capabilities.
I’m especially talking about the enhanced Oracle Policy Automation adapter which is often used in integration projects when it’s required to extend SaaS applications.
The Oracle Policy Automation (OPA) adapter is available in Oracle Integration to address different scenarios allowing to OPA decisions to be invoked at any point of the integration flows. For example, when a Service Cloud Incident is created for a medical device manufacturer (for instance a hearing aid), an integration instance can be triggered by OPA used to find out what to do with this particular type of incident and routing properly the managed information |

| Send Notification with attachment in Oracle Integration Cloud by Ankur Jain |
|
| In this article, we are going to showcase how to send Notification with attachment in Oracle Integration Cloud(OIC). This is new feature provided by Oracle and as of now it is controlled by feature flag. In order to use this feature, you have to raise a Service Request with Oracle to enable the feature flag “oic.ics.console.notification-attachment” into the OIC POD. |

| Oracle Integration Cloud Service Lookups by Ankur Jain |
|
| Oracle Integration Cloud Service lookup associates values used by one application for a specific field to the values used by other applications for the same field. This provides the capability to map values across vocabularies or systems. For example, you can map country codes, city codes, currency codes, and so on. |

| Multiple resources with single REST: Oracle Integration by Ankur Jain |
|
Struggling on how to expose a REST API with multiple resources in Oracle Integration Cloud. Here is the article which will help you to expose such REST APIs.
This feature is restricted with Feature Flag “oic.cloudadapter.adapter.rest.mvrp” which should be enabled on OIC pod before you start implementing the article.
See the article on feature flag.
Let’s gets started and see how to achieve this advance feature. |

| Jarvis Pizzeria: Summary of a Decision Model Use Case by Marcel van de Glind |
|
We have written a blog series of 6 posts describing a Decision Model Use Case. Because it concerns a series of multiple blogs and it may be difficult to oversee the whole. We will outline the full picture in this blog.
Summary
The Use Case is about accessing a Decision Model via ICS from PCS. The data used in the DM is retrieved from a Business Object in ICS and sent to the DM. The DM request data and the DM outcomes are stored in a BO in JSON format via an integration. |
|
|
|
|
| Using a DM in PCS (how to manage versions …) |
|
| make the first version of the Decision Model. In this implementation we call the Decision Model directly from PCS. We also pay attention to the difference between versions and snapshots of Decision Models, and how to use them. |
|
|
|
|
| Using a DM in ICS |
|
| In this blog we adjust the call from PCS so that the call from PCS goes through ICS. Hereby the creation of this ICS integration is explained step by step. |
|
|
|
|
| How to manage Masterdata of a DM (part 1) |
|
| In this blog we show a way to move the constant data in the Decision Model to the integration, with the purpose that the Decision Model therefore needs to be adjusted less often. It also emerges that this does have an impact on the internal structure of the Decision Model. The model has been changed from a decision table to nested if-then-else constructions. |
|
|
|
|
| How to manage Masterdata of a DM (part 2) |
|
| In part 1 we moved the constant data from the Decision Model to the integration. In the integration, use was made of variable with a constant value (as was the case in the DM). In this blog we show how we can get the values from a database table (Business Object) instead of this constants. |
|
|
|
|
| Managing DM Masterdata Validity Period |
|
| In this blog we will expand the Use Case further with a validity period for the masterdata in the Business Object. Because this only contains changes to already existing components, the overview image does not change. |
|
|
|
|
| Input and Output Storage of Decision Model Invokes |
|
In the sixth and final blog we have further elaborated the Use Case. The whole has been expanded with the storage in a BO of the DM input and output messages. A piece of javaScript was also discussed with which XML messages can be converted to JSON.
