6 Oracle Integration Cloud Docs Every Oracle Cloud Integrator Must Read

In this post, I am going to discuss the 6 Docs that every Oracle Cloud Integrator must read in order to become an Integration specialist. These 6 docs are the building blocks for anyone who wants to dive deep into Oracle Integration. In this post, I will discuss:

What is OIC?

Oracle Integration Cloud is more of a lightweight service that can be used to achieve simple, lightweight integrations that do not require much complexity. With Oracle Integration you have the power to connect your cloud and on-premises applications, automate business processes, and build web and mobile applications all in one place. Oracle intends OIC to be used by technically inclined clients without the need for a hardcore developer to come in and save the day.

Connects your applications, on-premise with Cloud (Integration Cloud Service) and helps in design, monitor, and managing connections between your applications
Automate & Manage business Process (Process Cloud Service)
Build Applications Visually (Visual Builder Cloud Service)

What are Connections?

Oracle Integration Cloud Connection defines information about the instances of each configuration that is integrated. A Connection is based on an Adapter that allows Oracle Integration to interact with Oracle application instances. For every application instance that participates in integration, a connection is required. In simple words, it is a connector that is utilized for communicating with various external applications. It is done with conventional systems like FTP or social media applications like Linkedin, Facebook, Twitter, etc.

For example, to create a connection to a specific Oracle Service Cloud application instance, we need to select the Oracle Service Cloud (RightNow) adapter and specify the security policy, security credentials, and WSDL URL to connect to it.

What are Integrations?

Integrations are the main ingredient of Oracle Integration Cloud Service. An integration includes at the least a trigger (source) connection (for requests sent to Oracle Integration Cloud Service) and invokes (target) connection (for requests sent from Oracle Integration Cloud Service to the target) and the field mapping between those two connections.

There are six different integration patterns which are mentioned below.

App Driven Orchestration
Scheduled Orchestration
File Transfer
Basic Routing
Publish To OIC
Subscribe to OIC

What are Mappings?

The messages you want to transfer between the applications in integration have different data structures. In Oracle Integration Cloud, a visual mapper enables you to map fields between applications by dragging source fields onto target fields. When you open the mapper for a request or response message in integration, the data structures are automatically populated with the information pulled from the source and target connections. You can expand and the load data structure levels on demand to display additional levels. There is no limit on the levels of display.

What is Integration Monitoring?

The Monitor Integrations page in Oracle Integration Cloud enables you to view the message processing status of your running integrations, such as how many messages have been received and processed, how many successful messages and errors have occurred, and how many messages have been aborted. Only activated integrations are listed on this page by default. Using the appropriate filter, you can also view data for inactive integrations.

A Total Instance Count summary is displayed at the top of the page. This section is collapsed by default. Data is not immediately fetched. To fetch and view data, expand the Total Instance Count section and click the Refresh button visible within the section.

What are OIC Agents?

Oracle Integration Cloud connectivity agent is the answer for a secure hybrid deployment, where you have a mix of cloud and on-premise applications and need to ensure secure communication. Connectivity agents are the agents that help you create integrations between on-premises applications and Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC) Service. Connectivity Agents are required for Oracle Integration Cloud to communicate or exchange messages with on-premise applications like Database, E-Business Suite, etc.
