Goal Details How recipes and accelerators help

Shorten your time to market

Building an automation solution from scratch requires time and resources, leading to a longer implementation journey and time to market.

The fastest automation solution to deliver is the one that comes prebuilt—a recipe or accelerator.

Adopt new features while following best practices

New features are continually delivered in Oracle Integration, and understanding how the features can fit into an automation solution can be challenging.

Recipes and accelerators are often delivered with new features and are built on Oracle-vetted practices. Therefore, installing a recipe or accelerator lets you explore a real-world use of the feature and optimize your adoption of the feature while reducing risk and driving faster results.

Evolve and customize automation solutions

Business applications continue to evolve. You need solutions that continue to evolve and that you can customize while maintaining the ability to upgrade them.

Recipes and accelerators delivers continuous improvements without disruption and also support multiple versions. Your recipes and accelerators will continue evolving as applications evolve, and you can adopt new versions at your own pace.

Additionally, accelerators offer upgrade-safe extensibility. You can extend a solution with your unique business rules through governed, upgrade‑safe extension points.

Definition

Recipes and accelerators provide predefined automation solutions.

  • A recipe gives you a head start by providing a best-practice implementation of a common and specific use case. The use case is typically one part of an overall automation solution.

  • An accelerator offers a complete end-to-end automation solution and might illustrate how a new feature fits into an automation solution. An accelerator offers several key benefits:

    • Extendable: Extend an accelerator by adding more technologies.

    • Customizable: Customize an accelerator to meet your unique business needs.

    • Upgrade secure: When a new version of the accelerator is released, you can upgrade to it without losing any of your customizations.

Oracle Integration provides more than 250 recipes and dozens of accelerators. Oracle partners provide a number of recipes and accelerators, too.

Usage

Before building, see if a predefined solution can help you get started quickly. You have the following options for browsing recipes and accelerators:

  • Find everything, including solutions from Oracle and Oracle partners, in the Integration Store within Oracle Integration.

  • When creating a project, use natural language to to find a relevant recipe or accelerator as a starting place.

  • Find solutions from Oracle on the Recipes and Accelerators page on the Oracle Help Center.

When you're ready to get started, download a recipe or accelerator directly from the Integration Store and update it as needed:

  • Update a recipe as much as you need to meet your business requirements. If you want to start over, just download the recipe again.

  • Extend an accelerator from the provided touchpoints so that you can meet your business needs and while keeping the accelerator upgrade secure.

    An accelerator can save you a lot of time. After all, an accelerator is the fastest automation solution to implement because it already exists. You typically can get it up and running quickly because all you have to do is point to the applications that are involved.

AI-powered capabilities

When creating a project, describe your use case using natural language or type a feature name, and let the AI-powered search capabilities find the recipes and accelerators that match your requirements. See Create a Project By Selecting an Accelerator or Recipe that the AI Suggests in Using Integrations in Oracle Integration 3.

Additionally, several recipes demonstrate how to use the OCI AI services, allowing you to see firsthand how to implement such patterns.

To explore all AI features, see AI Innovation and Oracle Integration in Using Integrations in Oracle Integration 3.
