20.2.2.0.0 (200517.0200.35622) |
| Salesforce Adapter - Elimination of WSDL upload task on the Connections page | The Salesforce Adapter has undergone a significant productivity enhancement with the
elimination of the need to upload the enterprise WSDL on the
Connections page. You were previously required to generate and
download the enterprise WSDL file from https://www.salesforce.com and upload it on
the Connections page. This was painstaking because the updated WSDL
upload was required every time you performed a customization in
Salesforce.com. This enhancement greatly simplifies the Connections
page by asking you to simply select the target Salesforce instance
type (for example, production or sandbox environment and Salesforce
API version). Existing connections continue to work the same (with
upload of the WSDL), but new connections created are not required to
generate and upload the enterprise WSDL in the Salesforce
connection.

20.2.2.0.0 (200529.1400.35761) |
| Oracle NetSuite Adapter - Custom fields made human-readable | Oracle Integration continues to focus on enriching Oracle NetSuite Adapter capabilities by incrementally meeting NetSuite customer needs.
The Oracle NetSuite Adapter is an all-around resourceful adapter in the Oracle Integration adapter portfolio, supporting a wide array of use cases for the
integration specialist to implement in a declarative way. The
integration specialist can use the Oracle NetSuite Adapter to make real-time invocations to NetSuite to perform create,
read, update, and delete operations and perform extensive search
operations on standard and custom business objects. With this
update, native support is added for seamlessly using custom fields
in all supported operations. However, there was one caveat with the
existing adapter: custom fields in standard business objects were
not human-readable in the mapper. With this update, the Oracle NetSuite Adapter has undergone a significant productivity enhancement. Custom
fields found in standard business objects are now human-readable in
the mapper and are also entirely portable.
See Custom Fields Discovery with the Oracle NetSuite Adapter in Using the Oracle NetSuite Adapter with Oracle Integration |
20.2.2.0.0 (200529.1400.35761) |
| Shopify Adapter - Event support | The Shopify Adapter has been enhanced to support consuming business events from
Shopify. Shopify generates a wide array of business events on
supported resources when certain actions are completed on resources,
such as customer, order, addition of product, and so on. This
enables an integration architect to trigger integrations in near
real time as a desired business event occurs in the Shopify
resources. The Shopify Adapter also added support for custom fields created with the Metafields
object.

| Oracle NetSuite Adapter - Asynchronous API support | The Oracle NetSuite Adapter is one of the key adapters in the Oracle Integration portfolio. Oracle Integration continues to focus on enriching this adapter by targeting
NetSuite customer needs. The current Oracle NetSuite Adapter in Oracle Integration already allows the integration specialist to configure the Oracle NetSuite Adapter to make real-time invocations to NetSuite to perform create,
read, update, and delete operations and perform extensive search
operations on standard and custom business objects. With this
update, support is added for submitting all of the above operations
in an asynchronous mode. This capability allows integrations to
seamlessly perform bulk imports of large data sets into NetSuite and
bulk data extracts from NetSuite in a declarative way.
See Oracle NetSuite Adapter Capabilities and Implement Common Patterns Using the Oracle NetSuite Adapter in Using the Oracle NetSuite Adapter with Oracle Integration. |
March 25 |
| Apache Kafka Adapter - Mutual TLS and TLS security policy support | The Apache Kafka Adapter introduced earlier this month has been significantly updated with
support for TLS and mutual TLS based authentications. Mutual
TLS-based authentication uses Kafka brokers to assert the client
identity before establishing the trusted communication channel. This
enables the Kafka brokers to ensure that the requests sent by Oracle Integration through the Apache Kafka Adapter are trustable and no man-in-the-middle attack has occurred.
See Configure Connection Security in Using the Apache Kafka Adapter with Oracle Integration. |
March 25 |
| Connectivity Agent - Automatic upgrade on Windows | The connectivity agent is a pivotal part of Oracle Integration, enabling integrations and the exchange of information between on-premises applications and Oracle Integration. Customers currently running the connectivity agent on Windows have been required to upgrade the connectivity agent manually. This created a challenge for customers trying to keep updated to the latest connectivity agent version. The automatic upgrade feature relieves customers of this requirement. Customers are required to manually upgrade for one last time, after which the connectivity agent automatically upgrades itself and no further manual upgrade is required. | March 19 |
| REST Adapter - Multiple resources and verbs support | Oracle Integration announces yet another structural improvement in the REST Adapter. The REST Adapter had previously supported publishing only a single resource with a
single verb in inbound orchestrated integrations. This created an
impediment for creating pure resource-based APIs in Oracle Integration and forced integration architects to create multiple integrations
to support different verbs and subresources. The REST Adapter now supports adding multiple verbs to the resource and adding
subresources in the inbound definition. As an example, assume you
want to have a single resource to support different combinations of
operations on a sales order resource through multiple verbs and
subresources. You can now design such an orchestrated integration
and pick the verb, resource, or subresource from the client as
desired using a single resource URI.
See REST Adapter Capabilities in Using the REST Adapter with Oracle Integration and Receive Requests for Multiple Resources in a Single REST Adapter Trigger Connection in Using Integrations in Oracle Integration. |
March 16 |
| Oracle Asserter - Integration testing framework support | The Oracle Asserter testing framework enables you to
record tests of integration instances and replay them to reproduce
potential issues. You can simulate the behavior of both a trigger
connection and the response from an invoke connection. You can also
export integrations with recordings and import and test the
integration in a different environment (for example, move it from a
design environment to a test environment). You can also submit
recordings to Oracle for analysis of errors.
See Test Integration Instances in Using Integrations in Oracle Integration. |
March 13 |
| Notification actions - Attachment support | You can add attachments to emails in a notification
action.
See Send Notification Emails During Stages of the Integration with a Notification Action in Using Integrations in Oracle Integration. |
March 13 |
| Invoking co-located, active integrations from a parent integration | You can invoke a co-located (child), active
integration from the parent integration that you are designing
through use of the local integration adapter. Co-located means the
integration is running on the same host instance or in the same
domain. Upon activation and invocation of the parent integration, it
invokes and consumes the co-located integration.
See Invoke a Co-located Integration from a Parent Integration in Using Integrations in Oracle Integration. |
March 13 |
| For-each action - Support for parallel processing | If you drag a for-each action into a scheduled
integration or the for-each action is not inside a while action,
for-each action, scope action, and so on, an additional field called
Process items in parallel is visible at
the bottom of the dialog. When selected, iterations of the for-each
action are run in parallel.
See Loop over Repeating Elements with a For-Each Action in Using Integrations in Oracle Integration. |
March 13 |
| Activity stream enhancements | The activity stream has been enhanced to combine the
audit trail with tracing information and provide a more compact and
easily readable activity stream.
See Track Business Identifiers in Integrations During Runtime in Using Integrations in Oracle Integration. |
March 13 |
| Oracle HCM Cloud Adapter - Deprecation of certain Oracle HCM Cloud SOAP APIs | Following Oracle HCM Cloud’s deprecation of some of
their SOAP APIs, the Oracle HCM Cloud Adapter has been enhanced to only show supported SOAP APIs in the Adapter
Endpoint Configuration Wizard.
For the current list of SOAP APIs supported by Oracle HCM Cloud, see Business Object Services in Cloud SOAP Web Services for Oracle HCM Cloud and also Oracle HCM Cloud Adapter Capabilities in Using the Oracle HCM Cloud Adapter with Oracle Integration. |
March 10 |
| Slack Adapter - New adapter | Oracle Integration announces the general availability of the Slack Adapter in the social and productivity space. Slack is a collaboration
hub that helps enterprises automate their workflows, enhance team
productivity, and gain business efficiency by streamlining their
business processes. The Slack Adapter provides support for outbound-based integrations with Slack. This
enables integrations to publish updates to individuals or channels
as necessary through Slack. As an example, you want to publish sales
order updates for critical customers to the critical sales orders
channels so that customer sales representatives can easily stay
updated with their key customer order information.
See Slack Adapter Capabilities in Using the Slack Adapter with Oracle Integration. |
March 3 |
| Box Adapter - New adapter | Oracle Integration announces a new addition to its growing list of connectivity
adapters. The Box Adapter is the newest addition to the list. Box.com provides content
management and file sharing as a cloud service. The Box Adapter supports both inbound and outbound integrations with Box.com on
the Oracle Integration platform. You can create outbound integrations to upload your
business critical documents such as sales orders, service contract
agreements, lease agreements, and so on as parts of integrations.
You can also create inbound integrations that are triggered based on
real-time events in Box such as file is modified. As an
example, you want to execute an integration that updates your ERP
backend system with supplier acknowledgment of the order (that is,
whenever the supplier uploads the confirmation/acknowledgment
document for the order in the Box.com folder). The Box Adapter enables organizations to share, process, and streamline business
critical documents between Oracle, non-Oracle, cloud, or on-premises
applications with rich integration capabilities as well as a vast
number of adapters to connect to these applications.
See Box Adapter Capabilities in Using the Box Adapter with Oracle Integration. |
March 3 |
| Apache Kafka Adapter - New adapter | Oracle Integration announces the addition of the Apache Kafka Adapter to its growing list of connectivity adapters. In an era of
digital transformation, more and more enterprises are looking to
leverage Apache Kafka for streamlining the publishing and
consumption of information across various cloud and on-premises
business applications. The Apache Kafka Adapter connects to the Apache Kafka distributed publish-subscribe
messaging system from Oracle Integration and enables an integration architect to publish and consume
messages from a Kafka topic.

When you open an existing visual application in this release or import a ZIP containing a visual application, Visual Builder upgrades the pre-existing In addition, all Visual Builder continues to support the use of REST services that are described by JSON files using the Swagger v2 specification. For information about creating connections to REST services, see Work with Service Connections. |
March 18 |
| Application Profiles |
Use application profiles to specify different application configurations for different environments and deployments. You can, for example, use an application profile to specify a service connection to different REST instances (development, test, and production) for each lifecycle phase of application development. See About Application Profiles. |
March 18 |
| Connection Type(s) for CORS | Connection type is a new field where you control how your service connections communicate with external REST services depending on whether these services support CORS or not. Visual Builder automatically migrates service connections in existing applications to the appropriate connection type. The Direct (Bypass Proxy) authentication mechanism no longer appears and, in this release, the equivalent configuration is an authentication type of None and a connection type of Dynamic, Service supports CORS. See Use an Appropriate Connection Type to Handle CORS for REST Services. | March 18 |
| Oracle Cloud Infrastructure API Signature 1.0 |
You can now use a signature to create an AppID flow using a single Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) user to natively connect to OCI endpoints. See Fixed Credentials Authentication Mechanisms. |
March 18 |
| Action Chain Tests | Visual Builder now provides test automation capabilities for action chains, helping you to adopt test driven development. A new declarative interface helps you to define tests for the action chains in your web and mobile applications that you can run individually or simultaneously. See Test Action Chains. | March 18 |
| New Array Data Provider | The page model provides a new built-in type, vb/ArrayDataProvider2, which new applications should use. The legacy vb/ArrayDataProvider type is supported in existing applications. ArrayDataProvider2 does not allow writes to individual properties of ArrayDataProvider2.data, unlike the legacy ArrayDataProvider. Instead, ArrayDataProvider2 supports using either the fireDataProviderEventAction or the assignVariablesAction to mutate data, while the legacy ArrayDataProvider supports only the assignVariablesAction. See Array Data Provider 2.
|
March 18 |
| Custom JET and Runtime Versions for Mobile Applications | You can now specify custom JET and runtime versions for mobile applications where previously you could only do this for web and progressive web apps. See Specify Custom JET and Runtime Versions for Applications. | March 18 |
| Favicons for Web Applications | Oracle Visual Builder now provides two default favicons for use in web applications and Progressive Web Apps. One favicon is for use in light mode and the other is for use in dark mode. Overwrite the default favicons if you want to use your own favicons. See About Application Resources. | March 18 |
| Mobile Build Configurations |
The mobile build configurations that you define for Android and iOS must be assigned to an application profile. The checkboxes that you previously used to specify a default build configuration for publish or stage operations have been removed. See Build Mobile Applications. |
March 18 |
| Business Processes | Application profiles can be used to manage the connection to the Process Servers that your visual applications use. See Configure the Connection to a Process Server. | March 18 |
| Open URL Action for Native Mobile Applications | The existing Open URL action has been updated to support opening local file attachments on native mobile applications. See Open URL Action. | March 18 |
| $application.deployment | The $application.deployment built-in variable has been added to facilitate code sharing between web, mobile, and progressive web applications developed using Visual Builder. See Built-in Variables. | March 18 |
| Create File Menu Action |
A Create File menu action is now available on folders in the source navigator tree to allow you to create custom files and subfolders almost anywhere in your app. The following are the exceptions where Visual Builder does not show the Create File menu action on a folder:
|
March 18 |
| Create JS and CSS Files | You can now more easily create JS and CSS files by using the Create JS File and Create CSS File dialogs that you invoke from the + icon that appears beside the entries for these artifacts in the Navigator. | March 18 |
| New vbDataProviderNotification Event Listener |
You can register an event listener for vbDataProviderNotification code events to display any errors from the Service Data Provider. |
March 18 |
| Improvements to the Events Editor |
The following improvements were made to the Events editor:
|
March 18 |
| Secure Storage |
Sensitive data such as passwords and certificates are no longer stored in areas of storage excluded from versioning and export (private storage). Instead, they are stored in the new secure storage of Visual Builder, which is a repository of sensitive pieces of data keyed by a unique key that is stored in the source. This makes it possible to securely transfer sensitive data between Visual Builder instances. Source files, such as mobile build configuration files, now contain references to the secure storage rather than private storage. Visual Builder updates all existing applications to use secure storage. |
March 18 |
| Reset an Expired Password or ATP Wallet for Your Oracle DB Instance |
Visual Builder administrators can now reset an expired password or an ATP wallet for the Oracle DB instances that you use to replace the database provisioned with your Visual Builder instance. See Reset an Expired Password or ATP Wallet for Your Oracle DB Instance. |
March 18 |
| Business Object REST Endpoints | You can now add or remove the endpoints that the business objects in your visual application expose. Using a new business object resource editor, you can configure the business object to include only the endpoints that you require, thereby reducing the size of the metadata file that describes your business object REST endpoints. See Add or Remove Exposed Endpoints.
Note: For existing applications, especially those that contain many business objects, we strongly recommend that you trim the exposed endpoints of each business object to include only those that you require. You can apply the default setting to expose only the first level of endpoints for each object, but if deeper nested endpoints were included in the object's resource definition, you must modify the default selection to include those endpoints. |
March 18 |
| Business Object Data Manager | The Data tab now includes menu buttons that allow you to duplicate data rows and to filter the fields that display in the data table. See Edit the Data in Business Objects. | March 18 |
| Business Object Diagram | Business object diagrams now show object accessor field names by default in a separate field of the business object node. You can disable the default behaviour using the Fields and Show Object Accessors menu entries that you access from the menu for the business object diagram. Also, you can now save business object diagrams to your computer as SVG or PNG graphic files. See Work with the Business Object Diagrammer. | March 18 |

In a subsequent release of Visual Builder in the second half of 2020, Visual Builder runtime will discontinue support of Internet Explorer 11. |
March 18 |
| Upgrade the Oracle Sample R13 SaaS LightBlue Theme | If your application uses the Oracle SaaS R13 Light Theme, you need to upgrade the theme in your application before you run the application using this release. For more details and instructions on how to perform the upgrade of the theme, read this blog post. | March 18 |
| Lists of Values Endpoints for Oracle Cloud Applications |
This is not a new feature, but be aware that Oracle Cloud Applications (OCA) has changed the way that it manages lists of values endpoints. The service connections that you created in visual applications prior to this release might use an older version of the definition for lists of values endpoints from OCA. This does not create problems for existing applications, but we advise you to use the Replace definitions for all selected endpoints button on the service connections in your visual applications that use these types of endpoints to refresh all definitions. Clicking the Replace definitions for all selected endpoints button marks an older version of an endpoint as obsolete, but does not remove it from your apps as a web or mobile app might reference this endpoint in some screens. In Visual Builder’s Endpoints tab, a strike through appears for an endpoint that has been marked as obsolete. For best performance and to use the latest way of surfacing the endpoints for lists of values, we recommend that you manually replace the obsolete endpoints in your web and mobile apps to use the newer definition for lists of values endpoints from OCA. The following image shows the Replace definitions for all selected endpoints button. For information about service connections in visual applications, see About Service Connections.  |

| Oracle ERP Cloud Adapter, Oracle HCM Cloud Adapter, and Oracle Engagement Cloud Adapter - Simplification of the Connections page | The Connections page for the Oracle ERP Cloud Adapter, Oracle HCM Cloud Adapter, and Oracle Engagement Cloud
Adapter (formally Oracle Sales Cloud Adapter) previously required you to
enter the service catalog URL, the interface catalog URL and events
catalog URL. Customers found that gathering this information was
painstaking and error prone. This enhancement greatly simplifies the
connection page by asking you to simply enter the cloud base URL,
which is a URL pattern, starting with https:// (for
example,
https://customer_chosen_domain_name.fa.DC.oraclecloud.com).
Oracle Integration deciphers the rest of the information pertaining to service
catalog, interface catalog, and event catalog URLs automatically.

enables you to send binary files read from one end to another end
seamlessly. As an example, you can build an integration flow to
expose a REST endpoint that can accept structured/unstructured
content such as CSV-formatted files and PDF documents as raw/binary
data and have them processed and sent to downstream applications
such as Oracle ERP Cloud/sFTP servers.

Integration Features
| Feature | Description | Published |
|---|---|---|
| FTP Adapter - FTP server operating system selection |
The FTP Adapter connecting to an FTP server over SSL can be hosted on a Unix or Windows operating system. Because Unix and Windows both have different line ending characters, the FTP Adapter must know the operating system to parse the file correctly. The FTP Adapter is enhanced to list the operating system for selection on the Connections page. An additional option is provided to let you select the channel of encryption (namely, control, data, both, and none). See Configure Connection Properties in Using the FTP Adapter with Oracle Integration. |
August 22 |
| Orchestrated integrations - Wait action enhancement |
In addition to hours and minutes, you can delay the execution of an integration for seconds with a wait action. See Delay Integration Execution for a Specified Time Period with a Wait Action in Using Integrations in Oracle Integration. |

Oracle Integration managed by Oracle
|
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
|
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 Integration Features

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.

Oracle Siebel Adapter IP2017 certification |
Oracle Siebel Adapter is certified on IP2017. |
|
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:
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 |

|
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 |
