Common Features

Feature Description Minimum Version Required
New recipes

The following new recipes have been added to Oracle Integration 3 to help you jump start your integration development. Simply install, configure, and activate.

See Recipes and Accelerators on the Oracle Help Center for a list of all Oracle Integration recipes.

N/A
Oracle Redwood theme

The Oracle Integration user interface reflects the Oracle Redwood look and feel. All screenshots, icons, and terminology has been updated in the Oracle Integration library accordingly.

22.06

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console

Version information appears when applicable

The user interface for the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console shows version information, so you can tell the version of each instance, either Oracle Integration Generation 2 or Oracle Integration 3. Version information appears only if you have or can create instances for both versions.

Find version information when you create an instance, view a list of instances, and view instance details.

22.06

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console

Ability to provision an Oracle Integration 3 instance

If you are a new customer to Oracle Integration 3, you can provision an Oracle Integration 3 instance at any time.

If you are an existing Oracle Integration Generation 2 customer, you can provision an Oracle Integration 3 instance only after Oracle upgrades at least one of your instances to Oracle Integration 3.

Provision new instances in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console.

22.06

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console

Shape determines your upgrade window

When you create an instance in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console, you must choose a shape, either Production or Development.

The shape determines when the instance receives monthly and quarterly updates. Instances with a Development shape receive updates two weeks before instances with a Production shape.

Note: You can't change the shape after you create the instance. However, you can move data to another instance using the export and import capabilities.

22.06

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console

Real-time billing and usage data

Make informed decisions about the number of message packs to purchase, thanks to real-time billing and usage data that is now available in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console. On the Metrics Explorer page, the new graphs show the number of messages that you purchased and that you've used. View data for a single instance or all instances in a compartment, and examine the data using sophisticated analysis tools.

In Oracle Integration Generation 2, you monitored billable messages in the Oracle Integration interface, on the Usage Metrics page. The Usage Metrics page is no longer available; the data that was visible on the Usage Metrics page is now available in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console.

See Viewing Message Metrics in Provisioning and Administering Oracle Integration 3.

22.06
Oracle Integration Home page metrics

On the home page, you can see the total number of messages, total errors, and the number of failed integrations. You can also view existing integrations or create new ones from the home page and view recent activities with their status. You can select recipes or prebuilt integrations to solve your business needs and filter recipes by the applications they use.

See Navigate and Explore in Getting Started with Oracle Integration 3.

22.06

Integration and Connectivity Features

Feature Description Minimum Version Required
Configuration Editor wizard

A new Configuration Editor wizard is provided that enables you to configure the resources to include in a standalone integration or package of integrations, such as connections, lookups, libraries, and PGP certificates. You can edit all resources and replace connections and PGP certificates. You can also unlock any locked resources within the wizard instead of navigating to the individual pages of the resources.

See Edit and Replace Dependent Resources in Using Integrations in Oracle Integration 3.

22.06
Support for cutting and pasting elements in the integration canvas

You can cut and paste elements (actions and invokes) in the integration canvas. This enables you to move elements to other places in your integration and eliminates the need to recreate them.

See Cut and Paste Elements in the Integration Canvas in Using Integrations in Oracle Integration 3.

22.06
Expandable and collapsible actions

You can expand and collapse logic actions in the integration canvas (for example, a scope, while, for-each, switch, and others) to see child actions and view errors.

See Expand and Collapse Actions in the Integration Canvas in Using Integrations in Oracle Integration 3.

22.06
Menu simplification

The navigation pane has been simplified to include all tasks in three categories: Design, Observability (previously Monitoring), and Settings.

See Navigate Oracle Integration in Using Integrations in Oracle Integration 3.

22.06
Managing integration components in panels You now manage many integration components in a panel that slides open on the right side of the page, such as:
  • Designing integrations
  • Creating connections
  • Configuring adapter endpoints
  • Viewing the activity stream during runtime
  • Uploading certificates
  • Editing the email suppression list

See Create Application-Driven Orchestrated Integrations, Create a Connection, Understand Trigger and Invoke Connections, Track Integration Instances, Upload an SSL Certificate, and Remove Email Addresses from the Suppression List in Using Integrations in Oracle Integration 3.

22.06
Control activity stream data retention during integration activation
When you activate an integration, you can select the tracing level. The level you select determines how long your data is available in the activity stream:
  • Production: 32 days
  • Audit: 8 days
  • Debug (Not recommended): 24 hours

See Activate an Integration in Using Integrations in Oracle Integration 3.

22.06
Activity stream enhancements

The activity stream has received the following enhancements:

  • To improve performance, message payloads are accessible differently in the activity stream based on their size.
  • You can navigate to child integration instances on the Instance Details page.
  • Binary payloads can be downloaded from the activity stream.

See Understand Supported Activity Stream Payloads, Manage Errors, and Track Integration Instances in Using Integrations in Oracle Integration 3.

22.06
Instance ID change from integer to string

The system-generated instance ID that is displayed on the Instances page and in the activity stream for an integration instance has changed from an integer to a string.

See Adapting to Instance ID Changes when Upgrading to Oracle Integration 3.

22.06
Scheduled integration enhancements

The scheduler has received the following enhancements:

  • Future integrations are displayed as queued and the time at which the integration is scheduled to run is listed on the Instances page and in the activity stream.
  • The user interface has been enhanced. For example, when you run a scheduled integration, the activity stream panel opens on the right side of the page to show instance progress.

See Create Scheduled Integrations and Track the Status of Integration Instances in Using Integrations in Oracle Integration 3.

22.06
Scheduled integration performance improvements

Changes to the scheduler implementation may result in shorter wait times for scheduled integrations to execute when compared to Oracle Integration Generation 2.

See Service Limits in Provisioning and Administering Oracle Integration 3

 22.06
Asynchronous integration regeneration

All integration regenerations are handled asynchronously. This reduces the chance for timeouts during regeneration.

See Regenerate a WSDL File for Integrations in Using Integrations in Oracle Integration 3.

22.06
Resubmission paths on Instance Details page

Resubmission paths for the looping iterations in logic actions such as a switch, for-each, while, and others are shown on the Instance Details page.

See Track the Status of Integration Instances in Using Integrations in Oracle Integration 3.

22.06
Instances page and Error page enhancements
  • Activity stream messages can be selected inside looping iterations of logic actions such as a for-each, while, and switch.
  • The Instances page shows scheduled integrations waiting in the queue to run, along with the Scheduled on label and the time at which the queued integration is scheduled to run.
  • Failed integration instances can be resubmitted up to 10 times.

See Track the Status of Integration Instances and Manage Errors in Using Integrations in Oracle Integration 3.

22.06
Mapper function, operator, and XSLT statement embedded help

Embedded online help for the mapper is provided. Click a specific function, operator, and XSLT statement in the mapper to show online help.

See Get Online Help for Functions, Operators, and XSLT Statements in Using the Oracle Mapper with Oracle Integration 3.

22.06
New mapper functions

Three new string functions are available for use in the mapper:

  • matches: Returns true if the supplied string matches a given regular expression.
  • replace: Returns a string created by replacing the given pattern with the replace argument.
  • tokenize: Returns a sequence of strings constructed by splitting the input whenever a separator is found.

Click each function in the mapper to show online help that describes its signature, parameters, and return values.

See Get Help for Functions in Using the Oracle Mapper with Oracle Integration 3.

22.06
Test mapper enhancements

The test mapper supports the testing of mappings you created with tracking variables and local variables in assign actions.

See Test Your Mappings in Using the Oracle Mapper with Oracle Integration 3.
