| Oracle Integration at GitHub by Gary Hostt |
|
This guide acts as a repository for getting started with Oracle Integration and where to find relevant resources.
Oracle Integration, OIC, is a fully managed service offered by Oracle, ranked as a leader in application integration by Gartner. OIC offers application integration, typically triggered by an enterprise's business events. We have many successful customers that have digitally transformed their businesses.
OIC substantially differs from Oracle's ODI, EDQ, and GoldenGate offerings. The latter 3 offer data integration - moving larger quantities of data, typically to a data warehouse, for analysis. OIC can eliminate the pain points caused by point-to-point integrations. If this is your first time hearing about OIC, check out the OIC Product homepage.
If you do not have an OIC environment, you can start with this tutorial. You can follow these instructions so spin up an instance. Once you have OIC spun up, start with these beginner tutorials. |

| Introducing the Box Adapter in Oracle Integration by Yogesh Sontakke, and Tuck Chang |
|
As many of you might know already, at Oracle Open World (OOW) 2019 a few months ago, we announced our partnership with Box to empower our customers to connect their cloud and on-premises Oracle and third-party applications with Box via Oracle Integration (OIC). Read the announcement from OOW here.
Box offers enterprises content management as a cloud service, enabling organizations to share files, collaborate between team members, and manage the lifecycle of content securely. As a cloud service, Box can scale as its customers needs grow in size and depth of complexity including attaching custom metadata to content and watermarking content for review. |

| A Simple Guide to Connect to a Private FTP Server using FTP adapter by Dinesh Pant |
|
You can now integrate with an FTP server even when it is in private network and not accessible publicly. This is made possible with the latest feature where a Connectivity Agent can be configured to be used with the FTP adapter.
The FTP adapter supports connectivity to:
• FTP/SFTP hosted on-premise - through a connectivity agent
• FTP/SFTP hosted on cloud - without a connectivity agent, as before
Connection Properties:
Provide connection property values:
Enter the FTP/SFTP host address and port |

| How to embed CDATA into XML: Oracle Integration Cloud by Ankur Jain |

| OIC Feature Flag - Data Stitch by Niall Commiskey |
|
Data Stitch action in Orchestration
Available to you as feature flag
(oic.ics.console.integration.stitch-action)
Available from version -All text in italics is from ORCL docs.
This is a new capability within the orchestration designer that enables customers to initialize and progressively update complex variables within integration flows. IT specialists can now use the "Global Variables" section of the designer to define new variables in the integration flow that can hold complex content and use the data stitch action to progressively populate and/or manipulate whole or parts of the document. You can simply drag and drop the "Data Stitch" action from the component palette into the canvas and graphically model the data assignments as an ordered sequence of statements to populate scalar or complex variables wholly or partially. Designers can add multiple data stitch actions at various points in the integration flow to update existing or append new sections to previously declared and populated variables using data from various sources.
Couldn't have said it better myself, net, net - Data Stitch allows us to create and manipulate complex variables within an integration orchestration. This was something missing in OIC, for those coming from SOA Suite/SOA CS. |

| Get XML Document from SOA Infra table by Martien van den Akker |
|
Today I'm investigating a problem in an interaction between Siebel and SOASuite. I needed to find a set of correlated messages, where BPEL expects only one message but gets 2 from Siebel.
To get all the messages that are related to two flows that run parallel based on the same message exchange.
The thing is that of course you want to see the contents of the message in the xml_document. This attribute is a BLOB that contains the parsed document from oracle xml classes. You need the oracle classes to serialize it to a String representation of the document. I found this nice solution from Michael Heyn. |

| Unable to create an error notification rule in Oracle SOA Suite 12.2.1? Patch 26088894 is not the fix by Ahmed Aboulnaga |
|
On Oracle SOA Suite 12.2.1.0.0, when we tried to create an error notification rule to alert on failed ESS scheduled jobs, we experienced an issue where the dropdown was not showing any schedules. Unfortunately, the solution to apply patch 26088894 does not work.
Patch 26088894
Patch 26088894 is a zero downtime ESS patch and applicable for Oracle SOA Suite versions 12.1.3, 12.2.1, 12.2.1.1, and 12.2.1.2.
It addresses the issue of the Adapter Schedule generating a Null Error on the GUI, which may appear to be the issue we experienced, but it is not.

| OCI: When and How to Create an Integration to Call a Service from a Process? By Jan Kettenis |
|
With the Oracle Integration Cloud, when you have to call a service from a Process you can choose to call an external service directly or you can put an Integration in between. This article gives some directives why you may want to do the latter, and how to prevent a pitfall that is easy to step in to.
To call a service you have to import the WSDL with it's XSD's. With that Business Types are auto-generated for all complexTypes in that XSD. Recently I was refactoring a case where this resulted in some 220 (!) Business Types being generated from 1 single external service, of which only a few were actually used. Granted, it concerned a service with a very complex interface, but for some reason all the external SOAP services we have to consume are moderate to very complex and easily generate 50+ Business Types. Not only that, they also use relatively long namespaces. Can you imagine what will happen when you have to call 5 of these services from the same Process application! You barely can see the forest from the trees, and you may find it pretty difficult to identify the correct Business Type to use for your request |

| Managing Oracle Process Cloud Service (PCS) Application by Ankur Jain |
|
Managing Oracle Process Cloud Service application includes assigning roles to users or groups to initiate the process, approve/reject the assigned task etc.
Roles assigned to end users define their permissions, such as task assignment and whether they can start an application.
By default, roles get created for each swimlane defined in an application’s processes.

Default Roles of PCS application
Process Owner: Users assigned this role can view process activity history, take actions (such as approve or reject), alter process flow, and view form data for applications they own. Process owners typically manage activated business processes and use metric analysis tools such as dashboards to monitor business processes and alter task flow as needed. |
