OIC is a perfect fit for building integrations when Oracle

Apps(ERP, SCM, HCM, CX, DB, DBaaS, ADB, etc.) are in the
landscape. It is even greater if there is a requirement to
create business workflows and custom web apps. All of
these work very well together.

Realtime Sync – rest API/soap web services

Key Takeaways

Use for real-time integrations

Two Flavors SOAP and REST.

Preference is REST over SOAP.

Use SOAP only if functionality is NOT available in the

REST

REST API APIs are growing in numbers

REST API "Batch Action" can be used to process

multiple records in one shot

SOAP services have Async web services with callbacks.

These services are useful for implementing Async
patterns.

•Plan for Rest API limits

•Paginate to overcome limits on records/call

•Use batch action to combine multiple operations into a

single HTTP request (batch actions) to improve
performance.

•Transform & Enrich payload in OIC using information from

other applications

•OIC can also meter requests to HCM cloud REST API.

- The first integration transforms and enriches the requests

and puts them in a queue. This can be a message queue or
a database table.

- The second integration consumes the messages from the

queue at a steady rate and invokes HCM REST API.

- Second integration can be made configurable to adjust

the rates of calls to HCM REST API

Inbound Pattern - Bulk Import (FBDI)

Key Takeaways

1. Inbound Batch Pattern

2. Use capabilities of ERP Adapter to simplify FBDI import

and callback

3.FBDI Imports have asynchronous callbacks(business

event) to monitor the status of import

4. Widely used pattern in ERP and SCM world

•Import bulk data operation does end-to-end process –

upload file to ucm, submit load, and import job.

•Need not create an explicit Interface WSDL to implement

on job completion operation

•Event is natively supported by Oracle ERP Cloud Adapter

which protects from any changes in the ERP Cloud interface
changes just in case.

•Needless to mention we can avoid all the additional steps

to capture JSON and parse the same. Event payload is
parsed and readily available in the trigger message to fetch
the report from UCM

•When an Event-based integration is activated OIC creates

a subscription entry in Oracle ERP Cloud. For some reason,if
the Event-based Integration Flow is not reachable ERP
Cloud will re-try the events multiple times with an
exponential time gap. In the URL-based callback, re-try
cannot happen as it is a fire and forget from ERP Cloud

Outbound Pattern - Realtime Sync (Event Driven)

Key Takeaways

1. Events can only be used with OIC. Cannot be used with

any other third-party listener

2. Events make use of the Event Handling Framework

3. Not all business events are supported through the Events

Framework

4. If there are no events for a specific Business Object or if

the use case in question is Batch Processing, then use
BIP/BICC

Outbound Pattern - Bulk Export (BI Publisher)

Key Takeaways

1. Use BIP only when REST and SOAP Services are not
available

2.DO NOT use runReport() service in high volume

transaction

3. Use BIP Reports in an asynchronous pattern using

scheduled-based integrations

•Export bulk data operation does – submit ess job(bip) and

transfer output and log files to ucm.

•Need not create an explicit Interface WSDL to implement

onJobCompletion operation

•Event is natively supported by Oracle ERP Cloud Adapter

which protects from any changes in ERP Cloud interface
changes just in case.

•Needless to mention we can avoid all the additional steps

to capture JSON and parse the same. Event payload is
parsed and readily available in the trigger message to fetch
the report from UCM

•When an Event-based integration is activated OIC creates

a subscription entry in Oracle ERP Cloud. For some reason,
if the Event-based Integration Flow is not reachable ERP
Cloud will re-try the events multiple times with an
exponential time gap. In the URL-based callback re-try
cannot happen as it is a fire and forget from ERP Cloud

Outbound Pattern - BICC (BI Cloud Connector)

BICC is a cloud connector to extract business intelligence

and other data in bulk. BICC can be configured to write the
extracted data files to UCM or Cloud Object Store. BICC is
available as part of the Oracle Applications Cloud
subscription.
