Teaching how to integrate Sales Cloud with Integration Cloud Service

In this blog, I am going to show how simple it is to use ICS (Integration Cloud Service) to integrate to Oracle Sales Cloud easily and quickly. The steps that I am going to show are tailored for Sales Cloud, but in reality, they are almost the same steps to integrate virtually any Application whether it is on premise or in the cloud.

Using ICS Sales Cloud connector, allows you to fully introspect into all Business objects, custom objects and Services while building an Integration, so you can literally choose depending on your needs the object to interact with, either to Create, Read, Update or Remove; specific queries, services, etc. In this case I am mainly going to work with the “Contact” Business object that belongs to a particular “Account”.

This is the use case that I am going to develop:

REST API to create (POST) new a new “Contact” for an existing “Account” in Sales Cloud
REST API to retrieve (GET) all “Contacts” from an existing “Account” in Sales Cloud
REST API to retrieve (GET) a specific “Contact” from an existing “Account”, given a unique identifier in Sales Cloud

Teaching how to use the Integration Cloud Service Connectivity Agent

I have been Integrating applications for the last 15+ years and normally every integration is a new challenge. It really doesn’t matter what technology or standards you use or have used in the past, the reality is that integrations come a new set of challenges. In the past few years the pre-built adapters have simplified in a way these challenges, but with hybrid architectures a new set of challenges comes to the picture, for example; connectivity, security, simplicity, message reliability, etc.

I was very excited when I learned the way Oracle Cloud is using to solve this problem. It is with something called Oracle ICS (Integration Cloud Service) Connectivity Agents, that basically get installed close to the Application being integrated, for example on-premise or in IaaS. Then using ICS in a browser, you can introspect into the backend application as if it was close to ICS, in fact with this solution ICS is completely oblivious of the location of the actual backend application. The Connectivity Agent will in this case connect internally with the back-end applications and communicate to ICS by pushing out messages via Messaging Cloud Service.

Teaching how DevOps Automate your SOA workload using Oracle Public Cloud

This is a 3-part series blog that teach with plenty of detail how to automate building, assembling, deploying and testing SOA workloads into SOA Cloud Service either using a Local Development Environment or Oracle Developer Cloud Service, which is part of Oracle Public Cloud. The reason I decided to write these as a series of consecutive blogs is to allow a cohesive series of steps to ensure a completely brand new development environment could be fully configured to automate building and deployment of SOA Application.

There are 3 main ways you can build, package, deploy and test your SOA Applications in SOA Cloud Service using Oracle Developer Cloud Service and a series of technologies like Maven, Hudson, Git, Etc.

Teaching How DevOps Can Automate Testing of your SOA Workloads

This blog will teach you how to use Oracle SOA 12 Testing Framework to “Unit test” and “System test” your SOA workloads as part of an automated Continuous Integration approach. This will showing how powerful it is to use the out-of-the box SOA Test framework and automate with Maven the full cycle of a SOA Project, including SOA project cleaning, compiling, packaging, deploying, testing and reporting.

Configure Oracle SQLDeveloper SSH connection to Oracle Public Cloud Database

Oracle SQLDeveloper SSH Configuration

Challenge

After provisioning an Oracle SOA Cloud Service and its related Oracle Database 12c Pluggable Database Cloud Service Instance, I then needed to connect to the Database in the Oracle Public Cloud in order to run some scripts for my demo tables. Obviously mixing customer data into the SOA Meta Data-Store (MDS) Database is not best practice but it was fine for my demo purposes.

In order to run the SQL scripts I had I was presented with a couple of choices (at least).

Teaching How to Provision an Oracle Java Cloud Service Environment Using REST APIs

We just covered in previous blogs how to provision environments with components such as: Database Cloud Service, Java Cloud Service, SOA Cloud Service (SOA, OSB, SOA & OSB, API Manager), etc. via the various Cloud Services Console web pages.

In this section I am going to demonstrate how to provision the same type of environments, this time a Java CS environment using REST APIs. REST APIs are very well documented for the vast portfolio of Oracle Cloud Services. For more information refer to http://docs.oracle.com/cloud

Notice that being able to script, version and test the creation of environments via REST APIs, can facilitate the life cycle of not only software, but also environments, which is a crucial aspect in devops.
