Integration and Connectivity Features

Feature Description Minimum Version Required

Integration project enhancements

Integration projects continue to be enhanced with new features:

  • You can create project deployments. During creation, you select the integrations and their specific versions to include. After creation, you can activate, deactivate, and export deployments. You can also edit, clone, and delete deployments of user-developed projects. See Create and Manage a Project Deployment in Using Integrations in Oracle Integration 3.
  • You can install recipe projects and accelerator projects from the Oracle Integration Store.
  • You can extend (customize) an integration in an accelerator project to process custom objects. See Extend an Integration in an Accelerator Project.
  • You can easily upgrade to a newer version of an accelerator project that is available in the Oracle Integration Store without losing your customizations. During upgrade, you are prompted to automatically merge any customizations that you made to your initial accelerator project into the newer version. See Upgrade an Accelerator Project.
  • You can search for integrations, connections, lookups, and JavaScript libraries in the project with the View all link at the bottom of each resource. You can also refine your search with the Filter Filter icon icon.
  • You can clone integrations, create new versions of an integration, view and edit the integration properties in integrations, and view a calendar of future scheduled integration runs. See Clone an Integration in a Project, Create a Version of an Integration in a Project, Update Property Values of an Integration in a Project, and View the Scheduled Integration Runs Calendar in a Project.
  • You can import user-developed, accelerator, and recipe projects into your instance. See Create or Import a Project in Using Integrations in Oracle Integration 3.
  • You can use the connectivity agent in integrations in a project. The connectivity agent manages all on-premises resources (credentials, artifacts) within the respective project or global (nonproject) context. The connectivity agent gets the project or global context information for each runtime and design-time request and reads resources, respectively.

See About Integration Projects and Design, Manage, and Monitor Integrations in Projects in Using Integrations in Oracle Integration 3.

23.02

Large payload support

The connectivity agent has been enhanced to support SaaS-to-SaaS connectivity with 50 MB structured payloads (JSON and XML).

See Service Limits in Provisioning and Administering Oracle Integration 3.

23.02

Dashboard and Error pages enhancements

The Observability part of Oracle Integration has been enhanced with the following features:

  • A Connections with error card is displayed on the Dashboard page. When you click this card, a graph of the connections with the most errors is displayed.

    See View the Dashboard in Using Integrations in Oracle Integration 3.

  • When a message is not accepted for resubmission on the Errors page, the Resubmission summary panel provides details about why this occurred.

    See Resubmit Failed Messages in Using Integrations in Oracle Integration 3.

23.02

Certificates page support for uploading signed key certificates

The Certificates page now enables you to upload signed key certificates. A common scenario for this certificate is when you must invoke a service that does not regard an OAuth client secret as secure. Instead, JWT assertions can be used to authenticate the client application without the use of a client secret. Oracle Integration instead uses the signing key to generate the JWT assertion.

See Upload an SSL Certificate in Using Integrations in Oracle Integration 3 and Invoke a Service API with a JWT Assertion in Using the REST Adapter with Oracle Integration 3.

23.02

Parallel action enhancements

The parallel action has been enhanced with the following features:
  • You can add scope, switch, logger, JavaScript, and notification actions inside a parallel action.
  • You can add a parallel action inside scope and switch actions.
  • If you attempt to add more than five branches to a parallel action, the menu option for adding a branch is disabled.

See Process Tasks in Parallel with a Parallel Action in Using Integrations in Oracle Integration 3.

23.02

REST Adapter - JWT assertion support for outbound invocations

You may have a business need to invoke a service that does not regard an OAuth client secret as secure. For these scenarios, you can use JWT assertions. JWT assertions supplement all flavors of OAuth by authenticating the client application without the use of a client secret.

See JWT Assertion Support for Outbound Invocations and Invoke a Service API with a JWT Assertion in Using the REST Adapter with Oracle Integration 3.

23.02

REST Adapter - RPST outbound security policy support

The REST Adapter supports the Resource Principal Session Token (RPST). RPST enables an Oracle Integration instance (the resource) to authenticate itself with and consume the resources of other Oracle Cloud Infrastructure service resources

See Resource Principal Session Token Support and Invoke a Service Provider API with a JWT Assertion in Using the REST Adapter with Oracle Integration 3.

23.02

SOAP Adapter - OAuth Client Credentials and OAuth Authorization Code Credentials security policy policies support

SOAP Adapter invoke connections now support OAuth authentication with the addition of two new security policies:
  • OAuth Client Credentials
  • OAuth Authorization Code Credentials

See Configure Connection Security and SOAP Adapter Capabilities in Using the SOAP Adapter with Oracle Integration 3.

23.02

Netezza Adapter - New adapter

The Netezza Adapter is the latest addition to the database group of adapters. The Netezza Adapter enables you to integrate Oracle Integration with a Netezza database residing behind the firewall of your on-premises environment through use of the on-premises connectivity agent.

See Netezza Adapter Capabilities in Using the Netezza Adapter with Oracle Integration 3.

23.02

IBM MQ Series JMS Adapter - SSL support

You can configure the IBM MQ Series JMS Adapter to use SSL if your IBM MQ Series instance is SSL-enabled.

See IBM MQ Series JMS Adapter Capabilities in Using the IBM MQ Series JMS Adapter with Oracle Integration 3.

23.02

SAP Concur Adapter - Regeneration support

The SAP Concur Adapter supports artifact regeneration. For example, when a new custom property is added in SAP Concur, you can view it in the mapper for an existing integration after clicking the SAP Concur Adapter and selecting Refresh Endpoints.

See SAP Concur Adapter Capabilities in Using the SAP Concur Adapter with Oracle Integration 3.

23.02
