OIC Integration Development Lifecycle

Integrations: Integrations are processes that utilize connections (among other things) to implement a business process.

Connections: Connections are the various connectors that can be utilized to communicate with external applications. Communication can be done with conventional systems like File, FTP, etc., and also with new social media and other applications, like LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Evernote, etc.

Lookups: A bit like DVMs in SOA Suite, can cross-reference values of the same attribute/element when mapping from one system to another.

Packages: A bit like partitions in EM console, can be used to group together similar integrations.

Agents: Agents are used to connecting to on-premise applications. For example, if you are using on-premise systems like ERP/SAP and also using Oracle OIC in the same implementation, you would have to use an agent to connect to the OIC application.

Adapters: Adapters lists all the adapters that are available for external communication. Currently, about 50 adapters are offered.

Creating Connections

•A connection is defined for any endpoint (source or target) that is implemented within an integration. These connections are based off of defined adapters. Adapters allow for easy connectivity to applications, insulating the developer from complexities that can occur when interacting with an application

•Set of pre defined Adapters

•Steps to create Connection

•Click Create.

•In the Email field, enter an email address to receive email notifications when problems or changes occur in this connection.  Note that a security policy of Basic Authentication is automatically selected. No additional configuration is required.

•In the upper right corner, click Test. The message Connection Hello World was tested successfully is displayed.

•Click Save, then click Close.

Creating Integrations 

•Developing Integration between SaaS application is done through ICS via web based tool

•Message Transformation

•Loookup

•Libraries

•Packages

•Assign

Steps to create 

Integrations are the main ingredient of Oracle Integration Cloud. When create the integration, we build on the connections we already created by defining how to process the data for the connections.

1.In the navigation pane on the left, click Integrations.

2.Click the Got it! button to dismiss any text overlays that are displayed.

3.In the upper right corner, click Create.

4.Select Orchestration as the pattern to use. The Create New Integration dialog is displayed.

5.Enter MyFirstIntegration, then click Create.
