Oracle Integration Cloud Autonomous Transaction Processing Adapter Configuration !!!

Oracle’s two major ground breaking innovation last year were Autonomous Data warehouse (ADW) and Autonomous Database Transaction processing (ATP) both are database offering suitable for different workload and are self-driving, self-securing, and self-repairing in nature. If you want to read more about these services then please go through above links.

ADW/ATP both can be quickly provisioned on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, it’s take less than 5 minute to spin ADW/ATP instance and database is ready to connect.

User can use Oracle SQL Developer to connect to ADW/ATP database as long as they are supported version. These DBaaS services also offers out-of-box browser based SQL Developer tool which can be used to run any kind of SQL statements.

Here is sample snap of browser based SQL Developer capabilities –

Once user has Database ready, obviously there could be requirement to access data residing inside ADW/ATP instances.

Fortunately, Oracle Integration Cloud provide Adapter for connecting ADW/ATP instance, click here to know more about ATP Adapter capabilities –

In this blog I will be covering simple steps how you can connect to ADW/ATP instances using OIC Autonomous Transaction Processing Adapter (ATP) Adapter.

I made assumption that ADW/ATP instance already exists. if you not sure how to create ADW/ATP instance then refer this blog which was written by my colleague who already explained how to create ADW/ATP database instance and connect from SQL developer.

So, let move forward. Login to your Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC) home page >> Integration >> Connection >> Create >> search for “Oracle ATP” >> select the same

Simplified OAuth Config for Oracle Integration Cloud REST API using Postman !!!

This blog will be discussing very specific use case requirement which is more developer oriented and providing a quicker and efficient solution to invoke Oracle Integration REST API using OAuth access_token for testing purpose.

As an integration developer time to time you need to invoke Oracle Integration REST API to test API functionality. All the REST API in OIC needs a header parameter called “Authorization” which must needs to hold a valid access_token value in this format “Bearer access_token“.

In above format, “Bearer” is static world, However, access_token is the token value which we get after successfully OAuth Authentication from Oracle Identity Cloud Service. Getting access_token from IDCS using code credentials flow is multi steps and cumbersome process.

However, developer can leverage Postman environment and variable features to simplify the process of getting access_token. That’s what, I will be covering in this blog.

Before I proceed further, I must redirect you to read my colleague blog which has greater in-depth explanation about what is IDCS, how IDCS govern security aspect of all Oracle PaaS products such as Oracle Integration Cloud, Analytics Cloud, Digital Assistant and so on and OAuth client and token generation process etc. I am recommending you to read his blog because I will be using few artefacts e.g. IDCS URL, Client ID, Client Secret etc which we need to get from IDCS OAuth Client Application as per the process given in his blog.

Retrieve Custom Fields from NetSuite using Oracle Integration Cloud NetSuite Adapter !!!

This blog is showcasing very specific use case related to NetSuite Custom Field retrieval and how we accomplish that using Oracle Integration Cloud NetSuite Adapter.

In this example we will be retrieving custom fields values e.g. birthDt from NetSuite by passing specific Customer Id. It may sound very easy but it was bit complex to deal with because the way how NetSuite was responding Custom Fields values using NetSuite Adapter.

Here is the use-case diagram –

In my previous blog I have already shown all the configuration which needs to be done to connect to NetSuite using Oracle Integration Cloud NetSuite Adapter and deal with NetSuite Custom fields. Hence, this blog will just focus on specific mapping challenges which I have faced initially during implementation.
