Connect to Oracle SOA Suite

If you currently use Oracle SOA Suite (either on premises or in the cloud using Oracle SOA Cloud Service or Oracle SOA Suite on Marketplace), adding Oracle Integration to your setup unlocks new features and capabilities.

• Oracle SOA Suite is a customer-managed deployment that is available either on-premises or in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.

  In contrast, Oracle Integration is an Oracle-managed PaaS platform. With Oracle Integration, Oracle manages responsibilities such as upgrades, patching, high availability, performance tuning, and scaling.

• Oracle Integration provides a rich set of SaaS adapters to connect natively to Oracle SaaS applications (both on premises and in the cloud).

  These include Oracle Cloud ERP, Oracle Cloud HCM, Oracle E-Business Suite, Oracle CX Sales and B2B Service, and others. See the Adapters page on the Oracle Help Center for the growing list of Oracle Integration adapters.

• Oracle Integration provides a low-code platform where you can easily build drag-and-drop integrations between cloud and on-premise applications.

To retain your investment in Oracle SOA Suite, you can connect your existing SOAP-based and REST-based composite applications to Oracle Integration. Creating the connection is easy using the connectivity agent and Oracle SOA Suite Adapter. Then, you can develop new integrations in Oracle Integration that connect your existing Oracle SOA Suite composite applications to other products and services. Over time, you can reimplement your Oracle SOA Suite composite applications and artifacts in Oracle Integration. See:

• Oracle SOA Suite Adapter Capabilities in Using the Oracle SOA Suite Adapter with Oracle Integration 3.

• About Creating Hybrid Integrations Using Oracle Integration in Using Integrations in Oracle Integration 3.

Note:

If you are using Oracle SOA Suite on-premises, you can reduce your overhead by moving fully to the cloud. Migrating to Oracle SOA Suite on Marketplace provides a Platform as a Service (PaaS) computing platform solution for running applications in the cloud. It includes a complete set of service infrastructure components for designing, deploying, and managing composite applications. See Differences Between Oracle SOA Suite On-Premises and Oracle SOA Suite on Marketplace in Oracle SOA Suite on Marketplace.
