New Integrations Features

Feature	Description
Recovery job ID search on Tracking page	Searching on the Tracking Instances page has been enhanced to search for recovery job IDs that run to process failed instances. See Manage Business Identifiers for Tracking Fields in Messages of Using Integrations in Oracle Integration.

Integrations Resolved Issues

Issue	Resolution
Connectivity agent restart	Connectivity Agent: Improved the agent restart time after an agent is upgraded.
Connectivity agent group	Connectivity Agent: Added support to update the agent group through the Oracle Integration REST API.
Adapter SDK	Fixed an issue in the adapter SDK for a protected/secured WSDL (using the SOAP proxy) with an authorization header.
SOAP Adapter callback invoke	SOAP Adapter: A callback invoke fails if configured with the URL instead of an uploaded WSDL.
FTP Adapter error message	FTP Adapter: Improved the error message for when a user enters the wrong host key.
FTP Adapter design-time	FTP Adapter: Improved the design-time experience for multi-level authentication.
JMS Adapter headers	JMS Adapter: Added support for headers.
JMS Adapter inbound header element	JMS Adapter: Fixed an issue where if you had a JMS inbound header element (for example, Message Id) being mapped to a JMS outbound header element (for example, Correlation Id), an exception was thrown upon activation.
Adobe eSign Adapter regional subdomains	Adobe eSign Adapter: Fixed support for regional subdomains (for example, na1, na2, in, and em2 in OAuth).
Oracle ERP Cloud Adapter error message improvement	Oracle ERP Cloud Adapter: Improved the user error message when an FBDI upload integration shows errors for being unable to move a file at the target location.
REST Adapter error message improvement	REST Adapter: Improved the user error message when an ArrayIndexOutOfBound occurs during JSON translation.
File Adapter pipe-separated file content	File Adapter: Fixed an issue when reading pipe-separated file content while skipping certain lines.
Adapter SDK custom validation	Enhanced the adapter SDK to support custom validation of connection properties.
Integration runtime failure	Fixed an issue where an integration failed at runtime when the dynamic invoke feature was not enabled. No headers are available in an incoming SOAP payload and there is at least one mapping done.
Application WSDL validation	Enhanced adapters to intelligently validate application WSDLs where the target namespaces do not match the parent schema import. 'Import' is used instead of 'Include' or cross-referenced schemas are present without import namespaces in the definition.
Operation invocation on Fusion Applications	Fixed a regression where invoking operations on custom objects for Fusion Applications adapters was failing.
Error message improvement	Improved error message with an action recommendation when an adapter 'Test Connection' fails due to a self-signed certificate not having the subject alternate name.
Collapsed scope actions	Users can reposition collapsed scopes within orchestration integration flows.
Activation errors	Activation errors caused by XML schema definitions containing references to it are successfully handled (recursive schema imports or includes).

New Processes Features

Feature	Description
Query parameter added to Alter Flow REST endpoint	The new activityType parameter enables you to return only a subset of activities that match the specified type.

Processes Resolved Issues

Issue	Resolution
Import issue	An issue was resolved where deleting a process application and then re-importing it under the same name resulted in the old deleted process application rather than the new version.
Process application open issue	An internal server error was fixed that prevented process applications from opening in Processes design time.
Identities REST endpoint issue	An issue was resolved that resulted in an HTTP 500 error returned when invoking the bpm/api/4.0/identities REST endpoint when Oracle Identity Cloud Service (IDCS) contained a very large number of users. A similar situation occurred with the Identities web form control and other select controls in Process forms when Oracle Integration was pulling a full list of users, and was resolved.
Correlations issue	An issue was resolved that prevented users from opening the FX correlations mapping editor and configuring correlations in structured (BPMN) processes.
Web form preview mode issue	An issue was resolved where web form elements visible when editing were not visible in Preview mode.
Title update issue	An issue was discovered where the process instance and task titles were not properly updated when configured inside a parallel gateway. After the fix, the main thread title propagates to all child threads inside the parallel gateway flow.

New Processes Features

Feature	Description
Saving web form data	You can capture form data at multiple points in a process, and store it in a database or file system for archiving or auditing purposes. For example, you might capture a form snapshot after an end user submits a form and then again after a manager approves the form. See Save Web Form Data in Using Processes in Oracle Integration.
If-Then-Else decisions	You can now introduce additional test statements (Else If statements) in If-Then-Else decisions. See Create If-Then-Else Statements in Using Processes in Oracle Integration.
Set analytics retention	You can set the number of days to retain completed analytics before automatic purging. The default number of retention days is 7. Because increasing retention days increases database consumption, you'll need to balance your organization's retention needs with database capacity. Specify the retention setting in runtime administration. See Schedule Analytics Archive and Purge in Using Processes in Oracle Integration.
Array filtering in structured processes	In the Data Association editor of a structured process or transformation, you can selectively filter elements from a source array object and assign them to a target array. See Filter Array Data Objects in Using Processes in Oracle Integration.
Decision FEEL loops	You can now create a Loop decision to iterate over lists or arrays. This decision type supports For, Every, and Some loops. See Create Loops in Using Processes in Oracle Integration.
Decision modeling best practices	We've added guidelines to make decision models easy to develop, maintain, and interpret. These best practices use a simple vacation days decision calculation as an example. See Best Practices for Modeling Decision Logic in Using Processes in Oracle Integration.
IMPORTANT: Set instances purge retention	Here's a reminder to set the number of days to retain completed process instances before they get purged. (Purged instances cannot be recovered.) The default number of retention days is 7. Because increasing retention days increases database consumption, you'll need to balance your organization's retention needs with database capacity. Specify the retention setting in runtime administration. See Schedule Instances Archive and Purge in Using Processes in Oracle Integration.

See Quick Tour of the Processes Page in Using Processes in Oracle Integration.
Robotic process automation adapter for UiPath	You can now use robotic process automation (RPA) tools in your structured and dynamic processes to extend process automation. Use the new UiPath Integrations adapter to automate repetitive human tasks and integrate with applications that do not offer APIs or for which there is no adapter. See Integrate with Robotic Process Automation Tools in Using Processes in Oracle Integration and Understand the UiPath Robotic Process Automation Adapter in Using the UiPath Robotic Process Automation Adapter with Oracle Integration.
Expanded Process task view for authorized users	We've provided the Process Owner and Process Reviewer roles better visibility into the task history of process instances. Users assigned these special roles see a task history dropdown field with two options: Task View (default) shows the current task's history. Full View shows history for all tasks executed in the process so far. The assigned role determines the task details available: Process Owners see tasks for processes they own by selecting Administered by Me under My Tasks. They can see task details of all tasks (current and completed) in the process. Process Reviewers see tasks for processes they review by selecting Reviewed By Me under My Tasks. Process Reviewers can see task details for current tasks; they see completed tasks but without details. See Assign and Manage Roles in Using Processes in Oracle Integration.
Dynamic process iFrame support	We’ve made dynamic process components available for iFrame integration using embeddable components. For example, you can now embed case details, dynamic process instance lists, and milestone and activity lists. See Experiment with Process UI Components in Using Processes in Oracle Integration.
Timezone support on forms	The Date Time control has been enhanced to adjust to users' timezones. When a user enters data into a Date Time control, the timezone information of the user is saved in UTC format. When other users access this data, the date-time information is displayed in timezones specific to them. See Configure Date and Time Fields in Using Processes in Oracle Integration.
Business object updates (WSDL)	You can now update external business objects being used in a process application by uploading a new WSDL file. (Updates for XSD and JSON files were also recently added.) A warning is displayed if incompatible definitions are found. See Work with Web Service Definition Files in Using Processes in Oracle Integration.

New Visual Builder Features

Feature	Description
Upgrade to Oracle JET 6.0	The Visual Builder generated applications now use Oracle JET 6.0 libraries and components.
Improvements to the Page Designer	The following improvements were made to the Page Designer for visual applications: iPad added as device option in the Page Designer for mobile apps Quick Starts now generate ojAction events instead of click events for buttons The Settings editor for a shell page now contains a Default Flow setting to be used when nested flows are embedded in the page using the Flow Container component (oj-vb-content) Pages in design-time are now automatically refreshed when navigating to them to update data changed in a different page (for example, when saving data in Live mode in one tab that affects the data displayed in another tab.) Empty container-like components on the canvas are now highlighted to indicate the area they occupy (rendered border) and their name (gray label). This applies to the Form Layout, Grid/Flex/Bar Containers and Rows, and Toolbar and Masonry components. Support for drop handling for flex in mobile page templates was improved. Improved drop support for oj-form-layout means that any component can be dropped into a form layout, and form layouts can also be nested. A component can be paired with the oj-label that precedes it in the source code, so components without a label-hint attribute set can have their label in the form. A Flow Container component was added to represent the oj-vb-content element. The component can be used in the page to embed a nested flow's page.
Improvements to Quick Starts	The following improvements were made to Quick Starts: The Bind Data step of Quick Starts for List View, Table and Create/Edit/Detail pages now includes component selection dropdown for all the selected fields. Quick Starts now generate ojAction events for buttons instead of previously generated click events Updated default label position attribute (label-edge) in forms generated by Quick Starts for web and mobile apps.
Improvements to Action Chain editor	The following improvements were made to support for working with actions in the Action Chain editor: When adding a Call Component Method action, the component id input is now populated with a list of ids from the page. Upon selection, the component method input is also populated with the methods that are valid for the selected component. When adding a Call REST Endpoint action, placeholders are now shown for the failure outcome in addition to the success outcome.
Added support for nested flows	Visual Builder now supports nested flows, and the following features were added: The Settings editor for pages now contains a Default Flow setting that is used when a nested flow is embedded in the page using the Flow Container component. Nested flows can be created in the flows folder under any flow.
Added support for iPad deployment for mobile apps	iPad was added as a deployment target option when building mobile apps.
Support for Integrations	A new tab for setting the Oracle Integration server URL and authentication was added in the application's Settings editor. An Oracle Integration service catalog was added that lists REST integrations defined in Oracle Integration, and you can now use the service connection wizard to select integrations from the catalog and add them to your application.
Improved support for installing components	The following improvements were made to support adding components: A mechanism was added for updating components installed from Component Exchange. When opening an application, the Component Exchange is automatically checked for new versions of installed components, and a message is displayed when updates are available. The window displaying Component Exchange items now contains individual Browse, Installed and Updates tabs. The Updates tab lists the new versions of components when they are available and can be used to update components.
Improvements in the Property Inspector	The following improvements were made to the Property Inspector for visual applications: An Array type customizer in the All tab for array types can be used to create and manage the array items. A Slots customizer in the General tab and in Page Structure view now lists the component's slots in a logical order. default slot first, contextMenu slot last, the other slots in between startIcon, endIcon slots (for example, for button components) start, middle, end slots (for example, for a bar layout component) For components inside For Each, the $current and the As alias are now available in the mapper/expression editor opened from Property Inspector. The names of action chains created from the Events tab now have "Chain" appended to the name (for example, ButtonActionChain).
Improvements to Event Listeners	The mapper for custom events and variable change listeners now displays $event in the sources. Notification messages are now displayed when an event listener refers to an action chain that does not exist, calls an action chain without mapping required parameters and calls an action chain with unrecognized parameters.
New notifications for variables and types	Notifications were added to indicate invalid or missing details for variables and types: Type is not defined as a valid object or array Type references another type that doesn't exist Type references an invalid type Variables: Default value is invalid Variables: SDP: No endpoint defined Variables: MSDP: No SDPs specified
Settings window now opens in tab	The application's Settings are now displayed in an editor tab in the designer instead of a modal window.
Support for child business objects in business rules editor	The custom code editor for business rules now contains the option to select a template with code for working with child business objects.
Added support for Visual Builder Add-in for Excel plugin	The Oracle Visual Builder Add-in for Excel is a plug-in for Microsoft Excel that allows Excel users to edit business data available from Oracle REST services.
Support for vanity URLs	You can now specify a vanity URL for an application in the Application tab of the visual application's Settings editor.

New Visual Builder Features

Feature	Description
Upgrade to Oracle JET 5.2	The Visual Builder generated applications now use Oracle JET 5.2 libraries and components.
Improvements to the Page Designer	The following improvements were made to the Page Designer for visual applications: HTML serialization has been improved to minimize escape characters in attribute values: Single quotes (') are used to delimit an attribute value if the value contains more double quotes (") than single quotes The symbols "greater than" (>) and "lesser than" (<) are not escaped in attribute values Ampersands (&) in attribute values are not escaped when they are immediately followed by a white-space character or another ampersand The Delete button for components in the Property Inspector was removed. You now delete components using the Delete item in the context menu at the top of the Property Inspector. The All tab in the Property Inspector now displays an indicator when a property has a sub-property where values have been set. The Property Inspector header now contains a Back button with the parent component name in some cases Components in named slots of parents - e.g. "< Button | Icon" for an icon in a slot of a button Components that declare a link to one of its ancestor tags - e.g. "< List View | Swipe Tile" where swipe action tile is in a swipe actions element inside a list view's template element The Property Inspector now provides improved support for CCA component metadata: Create General and Data tabs for properties marked in their component.json with propertyGroup 'common' or 'data' When marked with 'format', the following properties will have more specialized customizers created in the Property Inspector: date, time, datetime, color. Events marked as 'common' will appear in event Quick Starts, and as 'suggested' events in the Create Event UI A tool for uploading images and accessing an image gallery was added to the Data tab for image components in the Property Inspector. The List View in the Property Inspector now contains a customizer for Swipe Actions. The HTML code editor now supports Oracle JET 5.1 elements. Insight shows element and attribute documentation. Insight also helps with attribute enumeration values and binding variables.
Improvements to Quick Starts	The following improvements were made to Quick Starts: Variables created by Quick Starts now use a shorter "SDP" suffix instead of the previously long "ServiceDataProvider" Types are now created by Quick Starts into the page scope instead of the flow scope Add Data to List Quick Start now generates components into slots of oj-vb-list-item row CCA (instead of binding fields to attributes of the CCA). The Select Endpoint step of Quick Starts now contains an updated Endpoint picker. The panel shows the simplified view by default and contains an option to switch to the detailed view. The Bind Data step of Quick Starts has been updated to have an Endpoint Structure view where you can drag and drop fields to select them. The step contains an area for adding fields that are included in the data but not rendered in the page. For mobile apps, the Edit Page and Delete Action Quick Starts now generate the appropriate action in List View as a swipe action. A Quick Start Create Static List of Options was added for generating combobox, select and radio buttons components
Improvements to Action Chain editor	The following improvements were made to the Action Chain editors: Actions that are not fully configured will show a warning symbol. A tooltip will indicate the missing configuration. Clicking placeholder node will open a menu with options for adding an action. Action chains can be renamed in the Property Inspector Flow input parameters can be specified for navigateToPage events that changeFlow. A text field for filtering actions was added to the Actions palette.
Improvements to the Artifact Browser	You can now import single files and zip archives by dragging them from your local system directly onto folders in the Artifact Browser. The Import Resources dialog box opens when you add the file.
Improved support for variables and types	The following improvements were made to the support for variables and types: You can now create Multi Service Data Provider (MSDP) variables. Types can be promoted to a wider scope, allowing them to be reused and reducing the number of duplicated type definitions across pages. Unsupported attributes of ADP/SDP/MSDP have been removed. The event listener tab for variables has been simplified Add field is exposed consistently for types
Improved support for connecting to services	The following improvements were made to the connecting to services: In the Services tab of the application’s Settings dialog box, a button was added for testing the connection to the catalog URL using the authentication credentials. Problems connecting to the URL are displayed in the dialog box. In the Authentication tab of the Services editor, the "Allow anonymous access" option replaces "Use different authentication for a logged in user". The upper authentication option is for the logged in user and the lower authentication option is for anonymous users. The Source tab for displaying the Swagger now contains the property "anonymousAuthentication" and the property "diffAuth" is no longer used. In the Authentication tab of the Services editor, "Propagate Current User Identity" was added as an authentication mechanism. This is the preferred option for propagating identity from web or mobile apps to service connections. In order to use the new Implicit Flow authentication at the web app level or "Basic" authentication at the mobile app level, the authentication mechanism for service connections needs to be set to "Propagate Current User Identity". In previous releases, mobile apps that were set with "Basic" at the app level could use "Direct" as an authentication mechanism to propagate identity to services. With this release this combination will no longer propagate identity. Instead of using “Direct”, the authentication mechanism for these service connections will be automatically changed to "Propagate Current User Identity" when the visual application is reopened. You are strongly advised to review the service connections for mobile apps that use identity propagation. You must also restage/republish these apps for the new changed settings to take effect and to consume any security related fixes, which is recommended. In the Authentication tab of the Services editor, a new authentication type "Same as Authenticated User" is available when the Allow Anonymous Access option is selected. When "Same as Authenticated User" is selected, the anonymous user will inherit the user credentials from the logged in user (the credentials selected in the Authentication Mechanism dropdown list). Developers can now test service endpoints as an anonymous user by selecting As Anonymous User in the Test tab of a service endpoint. This feature can be use when the Allow Anonymous Access option is selected in the service’s Authentication tab and an anonymous authentication mechanism is selected in the dropdown list. In the Endpoints tab of the Services editor, a button was added that enables you to replace the service definitions of all selected endpoints with the latest updated definitions from the service. The Replace Definitions button is available when the registered service connection is registered via the Catalog (Fusion Applications) or a service specification document ("ADF Describe"). The button opens the service wizard and you are prompted to verify the definitions that will be replaced.
Improved support for business objects	The following changes were made to the business object editors: In the business object Diagrammer, the context menu now contains a Find command (cmd+f or ctrl+f) for locating a business object in the Diagrammer. In the Business Objects panel of the Artifact Browser you can open the contextual menu of a business object and select Find in Diagram to locate the business object in the Diagrammer. In the Endpoints tab of the business object editor, you can now click an endpoint to view the endpoint’s details in the editor. The editor is read-only, but you can use the Test tab to send requests and see the responses with specified parameter values.
Changes to build settings for mobile apps	The following changes were made to the configuration for mobile app build settings: The Build Profiles tab was renamed to Build Configurations. For each platform, you can now individually specify the default build configuration that is used for staging and for publishing. The option was added to force the built app to run in portrait mode.
Permission strings for iOS mobile apps	You can now provide custom permission strings to replace the strings provided by Oracle Visual Builder for the mobile apps it builds for iOS.
Updated application templates	Web and mobile application templates have been updated to use oj-messages, which provides a more modern UI as well as support for additional display options. New applications will automatically be created using the new templates. Existing apps would need to be manually migrated to use oj-messages.
Improvements to security settings	The following changes were made to the security configuration settings: Instance administrators can now use a Certificates page to upload and manage certificates, including self-signed certificates. User identity is now propagated to other co-located services without any explicit login when "Oracle Cloud Account" authentication is used. Added support for OAuth2 implicit grant flow in the web app settings.
Improved support for translations	In the Property Inspector you can now choose the resource bundle to use for storing a translation string.
Improved Git support	Git Tags are no longer used for keeping track of application sources. Commit SHAs are now used instead of tags.

JET text components now support virtual keyboards so on mobile devices an appropriate keyboard shows up. This has been added to the Property Inspector for appropriate text fields and defaulted correctly by component type. New components can now be added to the Component Palette from the Component Exchange and added to pages like other components. The Train (oj-train) and Switcher (oj-switcher) components and Bar Layout Container were added to the Components palette. The Bar layout container was added as a layout option for pages, and components can be positioned into the Start, Middle and End areas of the container. It is now possible to switch between any of the layout options. A popup menu for components on the canvas and in the Page Structure view enables you to surround the component with oj-bind-if, oj-bind-for-each, or oj-defer components, or a Flex container. Masonry Layout and Masonry Tile layout components are now supported. Drop feedback is available for positions between existing tiles, and the size, layout and order of tiles can be configured. The following components were added to the Components Palette: Masonry Layout, Masonry Tile, Navigation List, Conveyor Belt, Film Strip, Messages, and Password Input field. The Component Palette now contains a Picker category containing Inline Data Picker, Inline Date Time Picker, Color Palette and Color Spectrum components. A Quick Start was added in the Events tab for table components to create action chains triggered by first-selected-row events. The filterCriterion parameter replaces filterCriteria in the Add Data Quick Start.
Improvements in the Page Structure view	The following improvements were made to the Page Structure view for visual applications: Components can now be dragged from the palette into the Page Structure view, from the Page Structure view onto the canvas, and moved within the Page Structure view The Page Structure view now displays more details about components In the Page Structure view, slots are visible as nodes that can be drop targets. You can use the Show Slots toggle in the Page Structure to show and hide the nodes. You can now delete or surround elements using a popup menu in the Page Structure view.
Improvements to Property Inspector	The following improvements were made to the Property Inspector for visual applications: In the Property Inspector, an icon chooser was added for the following components: menus, tabs, radio buttons, comboboxes, selects and checkboxes In the Property Inspector, the Slots section of some components now contains a (+) action for adding a new component directly into the slot: Mobile Page Template component - slots Left Side (startControl) and Right Side (endControl) offer Button and Menu Button component - slots startIcon and endIcon offer Icon and Image many JET components - contextMenu slot offers Menu Variable selection popup and expression editor for components in List View and Table components now include $current object with its attributes. Child component's event mapper in List View now includes $current object with its attributes, including $current.key. $current.key is passed to action chains as key parameter for components inside List View and Table components. List View and Table components now set the single selection mode on selection event quick start, if not set previously. oj-vb-list-item component (list row CCA) now has a general Property Inspector tab with customizers for its attributes Datetime, Date and Time field components now have formatting options

Rich-type related metadata from Swagger is taken into account when creating field components in Quick Starts. With the Rich types implemented in business objects, we now generate proper components on our pages and honor the format attribute of the selected fields. Examples of the new fields include email, URL, phone, and percentage. This also includes showing proper icon in the endpoint structure. Numeric fields in business objects get additional hints for minimum, maximum and few others such as scale and precision. Generated components take those hints into account. String fields in business objects get additional hints for minLength, maxLength and pattern. When generated into form pages as a string input component, these should be honored and translated into proper component's attributes and validators. In the page–related Quick Starts, nested objects for Create/Detail pages implemented by allowing users to select items from inside an array. When finished the page will have an initial single empty item in the array in the record variable and generated UI components will bind to that single item. In the Edit Page Quick Start, a warning is displayed when a read-only field is selected, and conditional update based on ETag + If-Match has been added into the Edit pages generated by the Quick Start.
Improvements to Business Rules editor	The following improvements were made to the Business Rules editor: Field-level triggers are now supported, for actions triggered by changes to a field.

When exporting a visual application, you can now choose if you want to include the data in custom business objects in the ZIP archive. You can now easily expand and modify application archives locally and create a new archive that you can import. When importing an archive without business object data, the business objects are created but there are no records. You can import ZIP and OVB application archives.
Reorganized structure in Artifact Browser	The logical view of web and mobile applications in the Artifact Browser has been reorganized to simplify locating and creating artifacts.
Improved options for service connections	In visual applications, the Settings dialog box provides details on the URL of the Services Catalog and the authentication used to access the catalog. Web service connections can be marked as server side only connections by selecting the Server Only Connections check box on the service tab. You can now generate “Bearer” type access tokens that can be used with Oracle Cloud Account, User Assertion OAuth 2.0, Client Credentials OAuth 2.0, and Resource Owner OAuth 2.0 authentication to access Catalog and Business Object APIs from outside Visual Builder.
Improvements to Processes integration	The following improvements were made for integrating visual applications with Processes: A new Perform Task Action trigger was added to perform actions on a task A new Detail Page Quick Start was added for defining detail pages for process objects An Add Task Actions Quick Start was added for tables/lists of process tasks. The Quick Start adds controls to the page that allow actions to be performed on the task that's selected in the collection. Added support for starting a process based on a Form Start event. Enhanced functionality so that users can start processes accepting complex parameters. The UI for mapping complex parameters for actions and triggers has been improved.  The Processes pane in the Artifact Browser now contains menu items to open the Processes design time (Composer) and runtime (Workspace) pages.
Improvements to Audits window	The following improvements were made to the Audits window for visual applications: Filtering is now possible by text and type/severity A progress bar was added to indicate scanning progress
Improved support for translations	The following improvements were made to the support for translations: Clicking the translation icon in the Property Inspector opens a popup dialog where you can specify a description for strings and the key.

New Common Features

Feature	Description
Oracle Integration managed by Oracle Does not apply to Oracle Integration Classic (user-managed).	Oracle Integration managed by Oracle is a new service offering that provides a unified platform in which you can automate processes, integrate applications, analyze results, and visually build custom enterprise applications. You install Oracle Integration, but Oracle manages your service instance, including performing backups, upgrades, patching, scaling in/out, database administration, and more. This enables you to concentrate fully on designing and deploying your applications. See What Is Oracle Integration in Administering Oracle Integration.
Support for Oracle Integration managed by Oracle on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Does not apply to Oracle Integration Classic (user-managed).	When Oracle manages Oracle Integration, it runs on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure combines the elasticity and utility of public cloud with the granular control, security, and predictability of on-premises infrastructure to deliver high-performance, high availability, and cost-effective infrastructure services. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is an enterprise cloud, capable of running traditional multi-tiered enterprise applications, high-performance workloads, and modern serverless and container-based architectures. See Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and What Is Oracle Integration in Administering Oracle Integration.

New Integrations Features

Feature	Description
On-premises connectivity agent	The next generation connectivity agent with a significantly smaller foot print of less than 150 MB is delivered with Oracle Integration. This enables you to build integrations that can exchange messages between Oracle Integration and on-premises assets behind a fire wall. The connectivity agent is certified to run on JDK 8 and 9. The agent is certified to run on OEL 6 and 7, RHEL 6 and 7, SUSE Enterprise 12, and Windows Standard 2016. This next-generation connectivity agent eliminates the need for you to manually upgrade the agent whenever Oracle Integration is upgraded. The agent upgrade occurs automatically whenever Oracle Integration is upgraded/patched. With a significant reduction in foot print, the download and installation of the connectivity agent are completed in less than a few minutes. See About Agents and Integrations Between On-Premises Applications and Oracle Integration and Downloading and Running the Connectivity Agent Installer in Using Integrations in Oracle Integration.
Oracle NetSuite Adapter - Basic search and pagination	You can define a search criteria based on the fields of a selected business object. See Oracle NetSuite Adapter Capabilities in Using the Oracle NetSuite Adapter with Oracle Integration.
FTP Adapter - GZIP support	With the support of this feature, your customers/partners can upload files to sFTP/FTP servers as GZIP files. The FTP Adapter can download, uncompress the GZIP files, and stage them for downstream processing. See FTP Adapter Capabilities in Using the FTP Adapter with Oracle Integration.
FTP Adapter - Read file operation file size support	The FTP Adapter now supports reading files up to 10 MB in size with the read file operation. With this capability, additional modeling and processing activities needed for downloading and staging the files and using a stage file action for reading the file in segments are eliminated for processing files up to 10 MB in size. See What You See on the FTP Adapter Invoke Operations Properties Page in Using the FTP Adapter with Oracle Integration.
Oracle Commerce Cloud Adapter - New business objects	New trigger request and invoke operation business objects are provided. For invoke connections, files, audiences, organization requests, and bulk import/export process operation business objects are provided. See Adding the Oracle Commerce Cloud Adapter Connection to an Integration in Using the Oracle Commerce Cloud Adapter with Oracle Integration.
REST Adapter - OAuth 1.0 One Legged Authentication	The OAuth 1.0 One Legged Authentication security policy enables web sites or applications (consumers) to access protected resources from a web service (service provider) through an API without requiring you to disclose your service provider credentials to consumers. An Oracle NetSuite application, for example, protects the RESTlets using OAuth 1.0a token-based authentication. You can use the REST Adapter to invoke Oracle NetSuite REST APIs using a connection configured with this policy. See How Do I Configure the REST Adapter to Consume a REST API Protected with OAuth 1.0a One-Legged Authentication in Using the REST Adapter with Oracle Integration.
REST Adapter and SOAP Adapter - Size enforcements on messages and attachments	The REST Adapter and SOAP Adapter enforce new size limits on messages and attachments. For the REST Adapter, there are multipart request and responses in the inbound and outbound directions, respectively. The size limit on attachments is applicable in both the inbound and outbound directions, getting the response from the external service. For example, the REST Adapter trigger cannot take more than 1 GB of attachments combined. Assume there are two multipart attachments that are 500 MB in size. Only two attachments can be sent in that request as the inbound limit is 1 GB. This is the same with outbound responses, if an external service is sending two multipart attachments of 500 MB in size. Only two attachments can be consumed because the outbound response limit is 1 GB for the total number of attachments. The SOAP Adapter can handle an incoming unstructured payload (MTOM) of up to 512 MB in size. See SOAP Adapter Capabilities in Using the SOAP Adapter with Oracle Integration.
Describing data definitions using a set of XML schema definitions in the REST Adapter, FTP Adapter, and File Adapter (complex schema support)	Do you have the need to describe the data structure for an XML-formatted message/file using a set of XML schema definitions (XSD)? Starting with this release, the FTP Adapter, File Adapter, and REST Adapter now allow for an archive (ZIP) of XML schema definitions to be uploaded to describe the data structure. The FTP Adapter and File Adapter provide this capability for read and write operations. The REST Adapter provides this support for describing the data structure when the application/XML content type is selected for request and/or response messages in both trigger and invoke connections. See REST Adapter Capabilities in Using the REST Adapter with Oracle Integration, FTP Adapter Capabilities in Using the FTP Adapter with Oracle Integration, and File Adapter Capabilities in Using the File Adapter with Oracle Integration.
Describing data definitions using a sample XML document in the REST Adapter, FTP Adapter, and File Adapter	The REST Adapter, FTP Adapter, and File Adapter now allow you to upload sample XML documents to provide data definitions for XML-formatted messages/files. The FTP Adapter and File Adapter provide this capability for read and write operations on XML-formatted files. The REST Adapter provides support for describing the data structure when the application/XML content type is selected for request and/or response messages in both trigger and invoke connections. See REST Adapter Capabilities in Using the REST Adapter with Oracle Integration, FTP Adapter Capabilities in Using the FTP Adapter with Oracle Integration, and File Adapter Capabilities in Using the File Adapter with Oracle Integration.
Describing data definitions using a sample JSON document in the REST Adapter, FTP Adapter, and File Adapter	The REST Adapter, FTP Adapter, and File Adapter now support for allowing customers to upload sample JSON documents for describing the data definitions. The FTP Adapter and File Adapter provide this capability for read and write operations for JSON-formatted files. The REST Adapter provides this support for furnishing the data definition when the application/JSON content type is selected for request and/or response messages in both trigger and invoke connections. See REST Adapter Capabilities in Using the REST Adapter with Oracle Integration, FTP Adapter Capabilities in Using the FTP Adapter with Oracle Integration, and File Adapter Capabilities in Using the File Adapter with Oracle Integration.
Oracle Siebel Adapter IP2017 certification	Oracle Siebel Adapter is certified on IP2017. See the Oracle Integration Adapters Certification matrix.
Oracle Database Adapter - Bulk data import support for insert and update operations	Oracle Integration is delivering a much-sought after feature - the Oracle Database Adapter allows integration developers to declaratively define an insert-only operation and update-only operation on one or more tables. This new feature supports the sending of multiple records (for example, multiple employees details can be inserted/updated in a single request). It also supports relations (for example, multiple employees within one department can be inserted/updated in a single request). The Oracle Database Adapter enables Oracle Integration to send 10 MB of data to an Oracle database in a single request. The Oracle Database Adapter now enables you to declaratively construct your complex DML statements such as insert and update in a few clicks using a graphical editor. The editor supports only insert and update operations. The Adapter Endpoint Configuration Wizard guides you to select schemas, tables, and relationships to construct the data structure that you want to send to the database. The wizard also helps you to filter the attributes from the selected data structure to fine tune the data you may want to send to the database instead of sending all attributes. Another salient aspect of this feature is that the adapter can accept a collection of records to send to the database as a single unit of work. The following use cases can be implemented using this new capability: Bulk data insert – You can perform mass inserts. For example, up to 10 MB in the target application’s database in a single transaction in conjunction with orchestration and mapper capabilities. You can model integrations such as the synchronization of customer data from a CSV file to an Oracle database to use this capability. Bulk data update - You can perform mass updates For example, updates of employee benefits from Oracle HCM Cloud to an on-premises database up to 10 MB in the target application’s database system in a single transaction in conjunction with orchestration and mapper capabilities. See Oracle Database Adapter Capabilities in Using the Oracle Database Adapter with Oracle Integration.
Oracle Advanced Queuing (AQ) Adapter and Oracle WebLogic JMS Adapter - Support for size enforcement and rejection handling	Support is provided for processing payloads up to 10 MB in size. See Oracle Advanced Queuing (AQ) Adapter Capabilities in Using the Oracle Advanced Queuing (AQ) Adapter with Oracle Integration. See Oracle WebLogic JMS Adapter Capabilities in Using the Oracle WebLogic JMS Adapter with Oracle Integration.
Oracle Service Cloud (RightNow) Adapter - Upload and download attachment support	You can download a file as an attachment from Oracle RightNow Cloud to Oracle Integration. After the file is downloaded, the Oracle Service Cloud (RightNow) Adapter exposes the file reference in the mapper for use by other adapters for further processing. Similarly, the Oracle Service Cloud (RightNow) Adapter provides support for uploading a file as an attachment to Oracle RightNow Cloud. An integration flow can be modeled to upload a file as an attachment to an object in Oracle RightNow Cloud. See Oracle RightNow Cloud Capabilities in Using the Oracle Service Cloud (RightNow) Adapter with Oracle Integration.
Oracle Service Cloud (RightNow) Adapter - Syntactic validation of ROQL-based tabular queries (QueryCSV)	Syntactic validation of ROQL-based tabular queries (QueryCSV) is done automatically to catch any syntactic errors.
SOAP Adapter - Attachment support	The SOAP Adapter now supports sending attachments as part of the payload to an external SOAP API and receiving attachments as part of the responses received from the SOAP APIs. The SOAP Adapter automatically discovers and supports attachments found in external SOAP APIs based on the Message Transmission Optimization Mechanism (MTOM) standard defined by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Use cases such as the following can be implemented using the new capabilities. You can use the Send Attachments in Request feature in the SOAP Adapter to stream an employee’s data file from Oracle Integration to UCM in Oracle HCM Cloud prior to submitting a request to Oracle HCM Cloud by invoking the Oracle HCM data loader service. Similarly, you can use the Accept Attachments in Response option in the SOAP Adapter to let the SOAP Adapter stream the Business Intelligence Publisher report available in UCM to Oracle Integration, which can be accessed and processed by downstream actions within that integration flow. See SOAP Adapter Capabilities in Using the SOAP Adapter with Oracle Integration.
SOAP Adapter - Support for uploading a ZIP file with multiple WSDLs and schemas	The SOAP Adapter provides support for uploading complex SOAP interfaces. The WSDL archive can consist of WSDLs along with any number of artifacts such as WSDLs and schemas referenced within. The archive can be uploaded through the SOAP connection. You can use this connection for invoking an external SOAP operation defined in the WSDL archive. Similarly, you can use this connection as a trigger for implementing an integration supporting one of the operations defined in the WSDL archive. For example, you can use this feature to implement integrations that expose SOAP endpoints using OAGIS-based object definitions. See SOAP Adapter Capabilities in Using the SOAP Adapter with Oracle Integration.
Oracle HCM Cloud Adapter - HCM Atom feed support	The Oracle HCM Cloud Adapter supports subscribing to the HCM Atom feed. Atom feeds enable you to track changes made to feed-enabled resources in Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud. See Oracle HCM Cloud Adapter Capabilities in Using the Oracle HCM Cloud Adapter with Oracle Integration.
Oracle HCM Cloud Adapter - HCM data extracts support	The HCM data extracts feature in Oracle HCM Cloud is a flexible tool for generating data files and reports in Oracle HCM Cloud. The Oracle HCM Cloud Adapter can be configured to automatically download HCM extracts from Oracle HCM Cloud to Oracle Integration and have them be accessible for downstream processing. For example, you can schedule to run the benefits data extract in Oracle HCM Cloud and have a scheduled orchestrated integration built to automatically download the extracts to Oracle Integration and send all or partial information to downstream applications. See Oracle HCM Cloud Adapter Capabilities in Using the Oracle HCM Cloud Adapter with Oracle Integration.
New adapter - Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud Adapter	The Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud Adapter enables you to connect to Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud. This enables organizations to: Simplify the close process in Oracle Financial Consolidation and Close Cloud and Oracle Tax Reporting Cloud Streamline the close process through automation Leverage first-in-class consolidation and tax reporting functionality See Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud Adapter Capabilities in Using the Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud Adapter with Oracle Integration.
New adapter - Oracle Database Cloud Service Adapter	The Oracle Database Cloud Service Adapter facilitates integration with Oracle Database Cloud Service using the connectivity agent. See Oracle Database Cloud Service Adapter Capabilities in Using the Oracle Database Cloud Service Adapter with Oracle Integration.
Oracle Utilities Adapter - trigger-based support for manual upload of WSDLs for a particular service	You can also manually upload a WSDL in the trigger (inbound) direction for a specific service instead of parsing the WSDL from the HTTP-based service catalog WSDL specified in the Connections page. This option enables you to upload a WSDL for a particular service in which element-to-element mappings can be performed to deal with anytype elements. See Oracle Utilities Adapter Capabilities in Using the Oracle Utilities Adapter with Oracle Integration.
Workday Adapter	Workday is a SAAS-based human capital management system that also supports financial management systems for organizations. Workday can be the one system for all your organizational activities such as recruiting, payroll, finance, inventory, and so on. See Getting Started with the Workday Adapter in Using the Workday Adapter with Oracle Integration.
SuccessFactors Adapter - inbound events support	Trigger (inbound) support is provided for receiving event notifications from SuccessFactors. See SuccessFactors Adapter Capabilities in Using the SuccessFactors Adapter with Oracle Integration.
Concur Adapter - API option support	The Concur Adapter provides support for Concur’s Extract API and Payment Batch API. Concur’s Extract Web Service enables you to request the extract of available data objects, such as approved expense reports, travel requests, and payment requests. Concur’s Payment Batch API enables you to manage payment batches and collect their batch files. See Configuring Concur Adapter Invoke API Option Properties in Using the Concur Adapter with Oracle IntegrationUsing the Concur Adapter with Oracle Integration.

New Processes Features

Feature	Description
Activation	We've enhanced the process application activation wizard: In addition to SOAP integrations, you can now configure REST integrations during activation. Note that you must configure OIC integrations in the Integrations feature. If a process application doesn't use any REST or SOAP integrations, the Customization step is skipped and you proceed directly to validation. If you opt to use credentials configured during design time, they are automatically populated for you during runtime activation. Otherwise, you can create separate credentials for runtime. See Activating Applications in Using Processes in Oracle Integration.
Email notifications	Help end users more easily respond to tasks by customizing their email notifications. In addition to templates and actions, you can now specify: When emails are sent (upon assignment, completion, or error). You can even specify a different template and subject for each status. How forms associated with tasks are included as attachments (as images, PDF files, inline, or not included). Whether documents or other files previously attached to tasks are included as email attachments. See Configuring Email Notifications in Using Processes in Oracle Integration.
Forms	Web form enhancements include: Execute actions on columns: We’ve added new actions that let you hide or show table columns when an event occurs. In addition, we've added a new property in the Properties pane that lets you hide table columns. Execute an action on all rows: We’ve added new event actions that let you: Retrieve a control's value and apply it to each row of a table or repeatable section (For Each). See Configuring Tables in Using Processes in Oracle Integration. Copy values from one column to another for each row of a table or copy values from one control to another for each row of a repeatable section (Current Iteration Row). See Configuring Tables in Using Processes in Oracle Integration. Change presentations dynamically: A new action lets you dynamically switch a form’s presentation, with the option of retaining the modified payload. For example, in a travel request application, change the presentation and available controls based on whether the user selects a one-way or roundtrip flight radio button. See Changing Form Presentations Dynamically in Using Processes in Oracle Integration. Resize uploaded images: You can now control an image’s height and width on the Styling tab.
Data association process activity	A new activity, called Data Mapper, has been added to the structured process editor under System elements. Its sole purpose is to map data. Use it to assign values to data objects when other activities that use data association (such as human or service tasks) are not needed at that point in the process. Or include a Data Mapper activity to initialize variables for the entire process. This activity can have output only. See Working with Data Mapper Elements in Using Processes in Oracle Integration.
Auto mapping	Auto mapping is available in both structured and dynamic process editors. Click the Auto Mapping icon in the Data Association window and Process makes its best guess on data values to map, based on names and data types. You may need to make adjustments, but auto mapping works well for straightforward use cases.
Custom properties for structured process activities	You can now assign values to process activities for use in runtime. Begin by defining properties and assigning them fixed values in design time, then use a process metadata REST API endpoint in runtime to access the assigned values. See Assigning Custom Properties to Structured Process Activities in Using Processes in Oracle Integration.
Test activate dynamic processes	You can now test your dynamic processes, without needing to activating them each time to see changes. See Test Activate Your Application in Using Processes in Oracle Integration.
Dynamic process patterns	We've added new process patterns to get you quickly up and started creating dynamic processes. You'll see the available patterns when you add a dynamic process to a process application. See Creating a Dynamic Process in Using Processes in Oracle Integration.
Customize JSON before importing business objects	You can now edit generated JSON before you import business objects from JSON. This allows you to make any adjustments needed to the best guesses made during generation but before import. See Importing a Business Object from JSON in Using Processes in Oracle Integration.
REST APIs	New API options were added for dynamic processes. For example, create a new dynamic process instance after first fetching deployed dynamic process definitions. You can create a new dynamic process instance using either the id or key from the response. See the What’s New topic under Get Started in Oracle Integration REST API.

October 2017

New Integrations Features

Feature	Description
REST Adapter Enhancements	REST Adapter API Key-Based Authentication security policy This policy enables you to provide secure access to APIs. The resource owner generates an API key for a given client application with required authorization and then shares this generated API key. The client application is then required to pass this API key with the request for accessing protected resources. See Integrating APIs with API Key-Based Authentication in Using the REST Adapter with Oracle Integration. Support for application/octet-stream MIME Attachment (Raw) Payloads Support for Raw binary attachments in payloads has been added. See REST Adapter Capabilities in Using the REST Adapter with Oracle Integration. Support for simple execution of co-located integrations. Co-located integrations are in the same POD or domain. See REST Adapter Capabilities in Using the REST Adapter with Oracle Integration. When you activate an integration with a REST trigger, at the top of the Integrations page an endpoint metadata URL is provided with which you can inspect the shape of the API. This metadata includes additional information about the endpoint description, the endpoint URI and the swagger URI. Support is provided for array types while sampling a JSON payload in the JSON translator.
Invoking co-located SOAP endpoints	Oracle Integration can determine if an outbound SOAP endpoint is invoked by an integration that is local (co-located) or remote to Oracle Integration. Co-located means the integrations are running on the same host instance or in the same domain. If the outbound endpoint is co-located, the endpoint is invoked using an optimized HTTP request using a JSON Web Token (JWT) token for authorization. See SOAP Adapter Concepts in Using the SOAP Adapter with Oracle Integration.
Oracle Field Service Adapter enhancements	There are several enhancements to the Oracle Field Service Adapter: When a new custom property is added in Oracle Field Service Cloud, you can view it in the mapper for an existing integration by clicking the Oracle Field Service Adapter in an integration and selecting Regenerate Artifact. New business objects and events have been added for selection to the Operations page and the Events page of the Adapter Endpoint Configuration Wizard. See Oracle Field Service Adapter Capabilities and Adding the Oracle Field Service Cloud Adapter Connection to an Integration in Using the Oracle Field Service Adapter with Oracle Integration.
New functions available in the Expression Builder for integrations	The following functions that were previously available only in the mapper are now available in the Expression Builder. The integration patterns that support these functions are also listed. For orchestrated integrations, you can use these functions in assign, logger, notification, filter, and switch activities. Advanced functions generate-guid (in orchestrated integrations and template integrations) lookup-xml (in orchestrated integrations and template integrations) parseEscapedXML (in orchestrated integrations only) Mathematical functions square-root (in orchestrated integrations and template integrations) String functions compare-ignore-case (in orchestrated integrations and template integrations) createDelimitedString (in orchestrated integrations only) format-string (in orchestrated integrations only) getContentAsString (in orchestrated integrations only) get-localized-string (in orchestrated integrations and template integrations) index-within-string (in orchestrated integrations and template integrations) last-index-within-string (in orchestrated integrations and template integrations) left-trim (in orchestrated integrations and template integrations) right-trim (in orchestrated integrations and template integrations)
Viewing integrations in read-only mode	You can assign the ServiceUser role to users who require read-only access to integrations. A user with this role cannot create, edit, clone, or import integrations. They can download and export integrations. See What Users Can Do in Integrations by Role in Administering Oracle Integration.
Logging details about integration execution	If you do not enable tracing, minimal logging details are created in ics-flow.log to indicate when the activated integration begins and completes execution (regardless of execution success or failure). You can download the logs on the Dashboard page. See Activating an Integration in Using Integrations in Oracle Integration.
Loading the latest integration sample versions	You can upgrade your instance to include the latest sample integration versions. If a sample integration is active or locked, it is not overwritten. See Loading Newer Versions of the Sample Integrations in Using Integrations in Oracle Integration.
Editing integrations with incomplete connections	You can edit the completed connections, actions, and maps in this type of integration. You cannot edit the endpoints based on incomplete connections. Instead, you must first edit the endpoints for those connections on the Connections page. See Editing an Integration with Incomplete Connections in Using Integrations in Oracle Integration.
Specifying separate retention times for successful and faulted integration instances	You can view the quiesced, unquiesced, and warning thresholds for your database and the percentage of the database that has been used. If you have the Administrator role, you can also set values for the quiesced threshold, unquiesced threshold, warning threshold, and retention times for successful and faulted instances. You can also perform both automatic and ad-hoc purges of the database. See Purging and Retaining Data in the Database in Using Integrations in Oracle Integration.
Invoking a process from an integration	You can invoke a process from an orchestrated integration. When you drag the process node into an integration, the Select Process wizard is invoked and prompts you to select an application, process, and operation to invoke.

See Specifying Filters for Controls in Using Processes in Oracle Integration. Event filters: You can also define a filter within an event and use the filter data in other controls through event actions and conditions. See Specifying Filters in Events in Using Processes in Oracle Integration. Data first forms using arrays and enums: The array and enum data types are now mapped to appropriate controls. From the Business Types Palette, you can now use business types that contain these data types to create a web form. See Creating a Web Form Based on a Business Type in Using Processes in Oracle Integration. Number and Money controls: The increment/decrement buttons are now hidden by default. See Configuring Number Fields and Configuring Currency (Money) Fields in Using Processes in Oracle Integration. Reorder conditions: You can reorder conditions within an event window. See Specifying Conditions in Using Processes in Oracle Integration. Check if empty: Use the new operator called is empty within an event window to check if a particular property, such as value, of a control is empty or not. See Specifying Conditions in Using Processes in Oracle Integration. Row Count: While configuring events for a table, use the new Row Count property to add a condition based on number of rows present within the table. See Configuring Tables in Using Processes in Oracle Integration. Calculate the difference between dates: New interval functions are introduced which you can use to calculate the difference between two dates. See Specifying Functions in Using Processes in Oracle Integration. CSS styling: New information is available on using cascading style sheets (CSS) to customize the look and feel of web form elements.
