OAuth 2.0 security policy. This simplifies credential management by
eliminating the need for housekeeping credentials in Oracle Integration.
See Oracle Engagement Cloud Adapter Capabilities in Using the Oracle Engagement Cloud Adapter with Oracle Integration, Oracle HCM Cloud Adapter Capabilities in Using the Oracle HCM Cloud Adapter with Oracle Integration, and Oracle ERP Cloud Adapter Capabilities in Using the Oracle ERP Cloud Adapter with Oracle Integration. |
210129.2200.39441 |
| Oracle HCM Cloud Adapter and Oracle ERP Cloud Adapter - Support for consuming extensible flexfields (EFFs) and descriptive flexfields (DFFs) for REST resources | Oracle Integration is a customer-preferred platform for integrating with Oracle
Fusion Applications (ERP Cloud, Engagement Cloud, and HCM Cloud).
This latest release provides even more functional enrichments to the
already feature-rich Oracle Fusion Applications adapters and
continues Oracle Integration's lead as an integration platform of choice for customers. Oracle
Fusion Applications support associating descriptive flexfields
(DFFs) or extensible flexfields (EFFs) with which you can create
custom attributes for business objects. As you define, associate,
and leverage DFF and EFF fields for enriching business objects, the
real value of enriched business objects is reaped only when the
enriched information is exchanged seamlessly to and from Oracle
Fusion Applications and the rest of the business applications in the
customer footprint. This capability has been enhanced for the Oracle ERP Cloud Adapter and Oracle HCM Cloud Adapter.
See Oracle HCM Cloud Adapter Capabilities in Using the Oracle HCM Cloud Adapter with Oracle Integration and Oracle ERP Cloud Adapter Capabilities in Using the Oracle ERP Cloud Adapter with Oracle Integration. |
210129.2200.39441 |
| Oracle HCM Cloud Adapter - Migration from emps to worker business for an employee Atom feed | The Oracle HCM Cloud Adapter has been enhanced to support the worker business objects for an
employee Atom feed. The Oracle HCM Cloud worker business object is
much more enriched in comparison to the emps business object.
Because a worker business object is a super set, there is no loss of
functionality. The Oracle HCM Cloud Adapter continues to support the emps business object for existing
integrations. However, a new endpoint configuration fetches the
worker business object.
See Invoke Operation Page in Using the Oracle HCM Cloud Adapter with Oracle Integration. |
210129.2200.39441 |
| Apache Kafka Adapter - Transactional producer support | Oracle Integration continues to invest in the Apache Kafka Adapter, enhancing the feature-rich adapter to meet your use cases. With
this latest release, the Apache Kafka Adapter now supports configuring the producer as transactional. This
enables integration architects to produce messages using the
transactional producer or a non-transactional producer depending on
their business needs.

| Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Streaming Service Adapter - Inbound polling | The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Streaming Service
provides a fully-managed, scalable, and durable solution for
ingesting and consuming high-volume data that you can consume and
process in real time. The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Streaming Service
Adapter already supports a wide array of use cases such as publishing
messages to a specific stream and partition, consuming messages from
a specific consumer group, and so on. With this latest release, the
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Streaming Service
Adapter now enables integration architects to poll for messages in the
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Streaming Service. This enables the
integration architect to subscribe to updates in the Oracle Cloud
Infrastructure Streaming Service and consume the same using a wide
array of connectivity adapters in Oracle Integration. Note that inbound polling configuration is only supported when
the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Streaming Service
Adapter connection is configured with the connectivity agent.

210129.2200.39441 |
| REST Adapter - Support for consumption and publication of OpenAPI with multipart/mixed and multipart/form-data | OpenAPI is a foundational cornerstone in the digital
economy used by almost all modern applications and digital
technologies and services for communicating the set of services
offered by them digitally, enabling everyone to communicate
efficiently in the digital economy. Oracle Integration already supports publishing REST Adapter trigger flows in OpenAPI
specification. However, the OpenAPI specification generated from Oracle Integration did not contain information depicting the resource request as a
multipart request. As a result, consuming clients were left unaware
about support for multipart request resources. With this latest
release, Oracle Integration now supports publishing and consuming the OpenAPI specification
that contains the required constructs for depicting the multipart
request.
See Consume and Publish OpenAPI Documents with Multipart/Mixed and Multipart/Form-Data in Using the REST Adapter with Oracle Integration. |
210129.2200.39441 |
| REST Adapter - Trigger connection security policy support | Oracle Integration is a versatile digital platform enabling you to expose your
integrations as REST APIs. In previous releases, these APIs were
invoked using Basic Authentication or OAuth 2.0 security
authentication schemes. In an effort to provide more robust and
secure REST resources, Oracle Integration with this latest release enables you to configure the REST Adapter trigger security authentication schemes as required to meet your
business requirements. The supported security policies for REST Adapter trigger connections are Basic Authentication, OAuth 2.0, and both
(OAuth 2.0 or Basic Authentication).
See Configure Connection Security in Using the REST Adapter with Oracle Integration. |

) lets you use the URL that the services resolves to, rather than the Features Requiring Visual Builder Runtime 21.04
This release of Visual Builder uses Oracle JET 9.2 libraries and components. We recommend that you upgrade your Visual Builder applications to this latest JET version, as well as to the 21.04 Visual Builder Runtime, to take advantage of the full spectrum of 21.04 features. For example, in JET 9.2, new slots (Action, Navigation, and Quarternary) have been added to the List Item Layout component, making it even easier to produce great-looking content for your ListViews. To see everything that's new in JET 9.2, see the Release Notes.
Here are the features that require the 21.04 VB Runtime:
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| New dynamic service connections | You can now create a service connection to dynamically retrieve the service's OpenAPI definition, instead of copying the definition and storing it as part of your visual application's sources. A dynamic service connection creates a pointer to the service definition at a remote location. This keeps your application in sync with the latest service definition and enables you to re-use external definitions that aren't customized for your app. See Service Connections: Static Versus Dynamic. |
| Declarative support to create custom types from code | It's now much easier to use your own type, such as a type class written in JavaScript or a typescript class, with a variable in VB Studio. Using a new From Code option in the Types editor, you can import your type definition to declaratively plug in any Oracle JET type class or a custom type class and create an instance of that type class, then use it with a new category of variable known as an InstanceFactory variable.

| Apache Kafka Adapter - Inbound polling support | Apache Kafka is one of the modern pillars in
enterprise's big data and digital ecosystem today, where large
volumes of messages are ingested and consumed for depicting the
state of business at a rapid pace. The Apache Kafka Adapter already supports a wide array of use cases such as publishing
messages to specific topics and partitions, consuming messages from
specific consumer groups, and reading from the beginning/latest
topic. With this release, the Apache Kafka Adapter now allows integration architects to poll for messages in the
Kafka system by configuring the Kafka connection as a trigger in an
integration flow. Note that inbound polling configuration is only
supported for the Kafka platform hosted behind a corporate firewall
or on a private VCN network, along with the connectivity agent. This
enables you to consume a high volume of messages from the Kafka
topic and consume them in the integration flow.
See Apache Kafka Adapter Capabilities in Using the Apache Kafka Adapter with Oracle Integration. |
20.4.2.0.0 (201009.0200.37961) |
| Apache Kafka Adapter - Confluent platform support | The Apache Kafka Adapter now supports integrating with Kafka hosted on the Confluent
platform. Confluent Cloud is a widely-used event streaming platform
powered by Kafka that enables you to leverage Apache Kafka in a
fully managed, scalable, and serverless architecture in the cloud.
See Configure Confluent Kafka with the Apache Kafka Adapter in Using the Apache Kafka Adapter with Oracle Integration. |

| Oracle NetSuite Adapter - TBA Authorization Flow security policy support | The Oracle NetSuite Adapter has enhanced its concurrency limit. This means you receive a high
concurrency limit when integrating with Oracle NetSuite using Oracle
Integration, regardless of your Oracle NetSuite license. The
enhanced concurrency limit is applicable only for invokes performed
through connections created using the new TBA Authorization Flow
security policy introduced in the Oracle NetSuite Adapter. The TBA Authorization Flow security policy provides multiple
benefits to customers:

20.4.2.0.0 (201009.0200.37961) |
| Oracle NetSuite Adapter - Support for Initialize / InitializeList operations | Oracle Integration continues to invest in the Oracle NetSuite Adapter, further integrating with Oracle NetSuite application
capabilities to meet customer needs and simplifying access and
thereby addressing wider use cases. One such enhancement available
with this release is support for the Initialize / InitializeList
operations. This is a very powerful feature for integration
architects because they do not need to populate the records from
scratch. Instead, they can prepopulate the records from the
reference objects. For example, if you are designing a flow to
initiate a cash refund, the refund is now against the cash sale. The
Oracle NetSuite Adapter allows you to initialize the cash refund record from the cash
sale, where the cash sale is a reference object and details such as
createdfrom, line items, and amount are prepopulated.

20.4.2.0.0 (201009.0200.37961) |
REST Adapter - Generation of sample cURL command
|
The REST Adapter is a versatile adapter that enables customers to communicate with
a wide array of products and services such as Oracle Functions, OCI
Object storage, AWS S3, and so on, making it one of the cornerstone
adapters for your modern integration solutions. As you look to
leverage the REST Adapter for integrating with a wide array of products and services, you
have a variety of available configuration options such as security
policy, headers, parameters, and so on. As these options are
configured at different stages, they get lost and you can lose
visibility into the configuration. Oracle Integration addresses this
need by providing an option in the Adapter Endpoint Configuration
Wizard Summary page to generate the sample cURL
command.
See REST Adapter Capabilities in Using the REST Adapter with Oracle Integration. |
20.4.2.0.0 (201009.0200.37961) |
| REST Adapter - Standard OAuth policy improvements | The REST Adapter supports a variety of OAuth security policies out of the box (for
example, OAuth Client Credentials, OAuth Resource Owner Password
Credentials, and OAuth Authorization Code Credentials). One
challenge is that different vendors have implemented these policies
in different ways because the OAuth specification defines a high
level exchange of information between participating parties. This
leaves the details of implementation on the implementer. Oracle
Integration is looking to support as many vendors as possible and
still make it simple for customers to connect to and communicate
with all the digital REST services using the supported OAuth
security policy. With this in mind, the REST Adapter now supports an additional configuration parameter called Client
Authentication on the Connections page. The client authentication
parameters enable you to configure how Oracle Integration exchanges
security tokens over the wire (for example, whether the client ID
and secret are sent as a part of the basic authentication header or
in the body).
See Configure Connection Security for Invoke Connections in Using the REST Adapter with Oracle Integration. |
20.4.2.0.0 (201009.0200.37961) |
| REST Adapter - Connectivity properties improvements | The REST Adapter is used for a wide variety of use cases, and requires additional
flexibility such as querying and overriding the connectivity
properties such as base URI, relative URI, or even absolute endpoint
URI. This helps you to address scenarios in which you want to
conditionally change endpoints based on the received payload. The
REST Adapter already supports connectivity properties for the invoke endpoint.
However, in previous releases, it supported only the request side.
With this release, the REST Adapter supports connectivity properties for the invoke response, trigger
request, and response: all four possible interactions. As an
example, you want to pass the location for the next integration flow
in the response of the current trigger flow. This can be achieved
now by referring to the trigger REST resource base URI along with
XSLT functions to formulate the location of the next integration
flow.

20.4.2.0.0 (201009.0200.37961) |
| Salesforce Adapter - Enablement for Salesforce Government Cloud customers | The Salesforce Adapter was recently enhanced to eliminate the need to upload the
enterprise WSDL on the Connections page. With this enhancement,
customers who were using the Salesforce Government Cloud were unable
to create new connections due to login considerations, as mentioned
in this help document.
With this release, the Salesforce Adapter provides support for creating a connection with the
Salesforce.com application that can integrate with Salesforce
Government Cloud.

20.4.2.0.0 (201009.0200.37961) |
| Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse Adapter, Oracle Autonomous Transaction Processing Adapter, and Oracle Database Cloud Service Adapter - Support for wallet-based authentication with privately hosted databases | In previous releases, when connecting to a privately
hosted database using Autonomous Database - Dedicated (Oracle
Autonomous Transaction Processing - Dedicated or Oracle Autonomous
Data Warehouse - Dedicated) or Oracle Database Cloud Service with
the connectivity agent, the only supported security option was JDBC
Basic Authentication. With this release, you can also specify JDBC
over SSL. This allows you to connect to a privately-hosted cloud
database and leverage wallet-based authentication.
See Configure Connection Security in Using the Oracle Autonomous Transaction Processing Adapter with Oracle Integration, Configure Connection Security in Using the Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse Adapter with Oracle Integration, Configure Connection Security in Using the Oracle Database Cloud Service Adapter with Oracle Integration and Security Improvements for Database & FTP Adapters. |
20.4.2.0.0 (201009.0200.37961) |
| Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse Adapter, Oracle Autonomous Transaction Processing Adapter, and Oracle Database Cloud Service Adapter - Automatic database wallet and password refresh | Oracle Wallet can be used to securely store your
database credentials. Wallet rotation provides the ability to create
a new wallet and invalidate the existing wallet. When the wallet is
rotated or expires (or if using Basic Authentication and the
database password is changed), a corresponding change is required in
the Oracle Integration connection for that database. Once the
connection is modified in Oracle Integration, you needed to
deactivate and reactivate the integrations that used that
connection. This sometimes meant that hundreds of integrations
required reactivation, which was very impractical. With this
release, it is no longer necessary to deactivate and reactivate the
integrations. However, you still need to update the Connections page
with a new wallet password, as applicable.

20.4.2.0.0 (201009.0200.37961) |
| Oracle Autonomous Transaction Processing Adapter - Support for connecting with a serverless (ATP-S) database configured with a private endpoint | The Oracle Autonomous Transaction Processing (ATP)
database is becoming more widely adopted, along with its use within
integration flows using Oracle Integration. When configuring your
database, you can specify that it uses a private endpoint within
your VCN of your tenancy. This allows you to keep all traffic to and
from your database off the public internet. When using the Oracle Autonomous Transaction Processing
Adapter in Oracle Integration to connect to an ATP instance using a
private endpoint, you must set up the connectivity agent.
See Oracle Autonomous Transaction Processing Adapter Capabilities in Using the Oracle Autonomous Transaction Processing Adapter with Oracle Integration and Security Improvements for Database & FTP Adapters. |
20.4.2.0.0 (201009.0200.37961) |
| PayPal Adapter - Inbound support and new modules | PayPal is a global payment provider that enables
vendors to receive payments digitally from their customers and make
payments to their suppliers. The PayPal Adapter enables you to create an integration with a PayPal application in
Oracle Integration. With this release, the PayPal Adapter provides inbound support. This means it can be configured as a
trigger connection in an integration for the events related to the
Billing, Invoicing, Payment, Checkout, and Catalog modules.
Furthermore, the PayPal Adapter has been enhanced to support the Transaction Search,
Subscriptions, Add Tracking, and Invoicing modules.
See PayPal Adapter Capabilities in Using the PayPal Adapter with Oracle Integration and Oracle Integration - Adapter Enhancements to Non Oracle Applications. |
20.4.2.0.0 (201009.0200.37961) |
| FTP Adapter - Message payload security capabilities with privately-hosted SFTP servers | When integrating with an FTP server that is hosted
on-premises behind a firewall, you configure a connectivity agent in
Oracle Integration to establish connectivity. In previous releases,
there were certain security-related options that were not available
when using the FTP Adapter with the connectivity agent. In particular:
The above options can now be leveraged with the connectivity agent while communicating with the privately-hosted SFTP server. See FTP Adapter Capabilities in Using the FTP Adapter with Oracle Integration and Security Improvements for Database & FTP Adapters. |
20.4.2.0.0 (201009.0200.37961) |
| Oracle ERP Cloud Adapter, Oracle Engagement Cloud Adapter, and Oracle HCM Cloud Adapter - Selectively pick child REST resources | The Oracle Fusion Application adapters are key
strategic adapters for Oracle Integration. Oracle Integration
continues to update these adapters with features to meet your needs
and improve the overall adapter experience. One improvement with
this release is the ability to selectively pick child REST
resources. This enables you to pick and chose the child resources
needed for your businesses. Without this feature, you would have all
child resources in the integration artifacts, resulting in an
unmanageable number of elements to traverse through in the mapper
and unnecessary loads at runtime.
See Oracle ERP Cloud Adapter Capabilities in Using the Oracle ERP Cloud Adapter with Oracle Integration, Oracle Engagement Cloud Adapter Capabilities in Using the Oracle Engagement Cloud Adapter with Oracle Integration, Oracle HCM Cloud Adapter Capabilities in Using the Oracle HCM Cloud Adapter with Oracle Integration, and Oracle Integration November 2020 update for Oracle Applications Adapters. |
20.4.2.0.0 (201009.0200.37961) |
| ServiceNow Adapter - Graceful downgrade of user experience | The ServiceNow Adapter enables you to create an integration with ServiceNow in Oracle
Integration. The ServiceNow Adapter has been enhanced to run with as few privileges as possible. With
this release, you must provide minimal accesses on the tables to
configure the ServiceNow Adapter as a trigger or an invoke connection in an integration.

Adapter to its growing list of connectivity adapters. The Oracle Cloud
Infrastructure Streaming service provides a fully managed, scalable, and durable
storage solution for consuming continuous, high-volume streams of
data. The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Streaming Service
Adapter lets you connect directly to the Oracle Cloud
Infrastructure streaming service hosted on a public subnet or through the
connectivity agent to the Oracle Cloud
Infrastructure streaming service hosted on a private subnet. The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Streaming Service
Adapter enables an integration architect to publish and consume messages
from the Oracle Cloud
Infrastructure Streaming service in a simple declarative manner. This greatly
simplifies how application updates can be posted on the Oracle Cloud
Infrastructure Streaming service, or consumed from the Oracle Cloud
Infrastructure streaming service making Oracle Integration a router of continuously-consumed messages on the Oracle Cloud
Infrastructure streaming service.

The AS2 Adapter enables you to build integrations with endpoints for receiving and processing AS2 protocol-based files and messages and sending messages and files to external endpoints supporting the AS2 protocol. See AS2 Adapter Capabilities in Using the AS2 Adapter with Oracle Integration. |
20.2.3.0.0 (200705.0200.36413) |
| Oracle Talent Acquisition Cloud (Taleo EE) Adapter - Bulk export support | Oracle Talent Acquisition Cloud is the world's most
widely used recruitment platform. Oracle Talent Acquisition Cloud
customers conventionally perform bulk import-based and bulk
export-based integrations to update data in Oracle Talent
Acquisition Cloud and extract updated data from Oracle Talent
Acquisition Cloud. The current Oracle Talent Acquisition Cloud (Taleo EE)
Adapter already supports performing bulk import of records to load/update
the data into Oracle Talent Acquisition Cloud instances. With this
feature, the Oracle Talent Acquisition Cloud (Taleo EE)
Adapter now also supports performing bulk export to get data from Oracle
Talent Acquisition Cloud. As an example, you may want to export new
hires information and import the same information into your HRMS
systems.
See Implement the Export Candidate Data Pattern in Using the Oracle Talent Acquisition Cloud (Taleo EE) Adapter with Oracle Integration. |
20.2.3.0.0 (200705.0200.36413) |
| REST Adapter - Consumption of REST APIs described using OpenAPI | Oracle Integration continues to adopt open standards to help Oracle Integration customers simplify and streamline their integrations and reap the
rewards from open standards. OpenAPI has indeed become a de facto
standard for describing a REST API. The Oracle Integration
REST Adapter in the conquest of open standards now supports consuming REST
APIs described in OpenAPI specifications. This now helps Oracle Integration to easily integrate with applications and services that are
exposing OpenAPI-based APIs descriptors.
See Publish REST-Based Integrations as OpenAPI Documents in Using the REST Adapter with Oracle Integration. |
20.2.3.0.0 (200705.0200.36413) |
| File Adapter enhancements | The File Adapter enables you to build integrations that allow for the reading and
writing of files present in the local file system of your
on-premises environment. This release contains the following
significant enhancements:
The above enhancements enable you to implement use cases such as the periodic retrieval of data extracts from on-premises applications and databases available in the local file system and the synchronization of this data with cloud applications, cloud databases, FTP servers, and external systems using Apache Kafka, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Streaming Service, and so on.

| Integrations to Processes integration enhancement | When creating an integration that invokes a process,
you can select a check box to use the default version of the
process. This action enables the default process version to be
triggered regardless of the version you selected. For example, if
the process you selected is using process version 4.0, and the
process version is later upgraded to version 4.1, this means that
none of your integrations must be deactivated, edited, and
reactivated. The process automatically starts using the latest
version of the process (for this example, version 4.1).

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.

| 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.

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.

| 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.

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.

| 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 |

| 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.

pivot for integrating systems in a simple, rapid, and revolutionary
way. Oracle Integration further enhances the REST Adapter to enable sending binary files to REST APIs through the
application/octet-stream content-type. This
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.

| REST Adapter - Payload format name change in the Adapter Endpoint Configuration Wizard | When creating an invoke connection in the Adapter Endpoint Configuration Wizard, the Raw request and response payload format selection is now called Binary on the Request and Response pages. | October 14 |
| REST Adapter - Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Signature Version 1 security policy support |
As Oracle Cloud Infrastructure continues to build modern, scalable, and secure cloud services, security has its prime place in the Oracle Cloud solution. In the same endeavor, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure provides a signature to enable a more robust and secure way of invoking Oracle Cloud Infrastructure services. The REST Adapter now supports Oracle Cloud Infrastructure signature-based authentication to facilitate invoking Oracle Cloud Infrastructure cloud service REST APIs such as Oracle functions, streaming, storage and so on as an integral part of Oracle Integration orchestration flows. See REST Adapter Concepts in Using the REST Adapter with Oracle Integration. |
October 11 |
| Monitoring pages - Custom time range with which to filter the search for instances | You can specify a custom time range with which to filter the search for instances with the From and To buttons on the monitoring pages for Integrations. This enables you to select a time range as small as a minute and track only those instances processed within that specified time range. The specified time range is preserved by default and applied to the data being displayed when you navigate from one monitoring page to another (for example, when you move from the Track Instances page to the Integrations, Track Runs, or Errors page).
See Track Business Identifiers in Integrations During Runtime in Using Integrations in Oracle Integration. |

By using your own Oracle DB instance you will also have direct SQL access to the tables created for your business objects. In the wizard, the administrator can specify a DBaaS or Autonomous Database instance. The wizard includes a tool for selecting which projects in the tenant are downloaded prior to switching to the new DB instance. |
September 27 |
| New UI for managing user roles |
The UI in the Settings editor for creating and managing user roles in a visual application has been updated and streamlined. When creating a user role, the user role and the users and groups assigned to it, are now created directly in the IDCS application. The "virtual roles" mechanism used in earlier releases is no longer supported. If you are developing an application that used virtual roles, you will need to use the new UI to replicate those users and roles because the virtual roles won't be converted to the new role mapping mechanism. |
