Use Integrations

To use an integration in your process application, you have to first create a connection to the integration with a connector, and then implement the integration in structured processes and forms using the connector.

To use integrations in process applications:
  1. Create a Connector with an Integration
  2. Implement an Integration in Processes and Forms

Create a Connector with an Integration

To connect to an integration in Oracle Integration, you must create a connector using the integration.

  1. From a selected process application, click Add in the upper right corner of the page.
  2. In the Add Component pane, expand Connectors and choose Integration.
    Available active integrations designed with REST triggers from Oracle Integration are listed.
  3. Choose an integration from the list or search for the integration and select it.
  4. Click Create.

The connector configured with the integration is displayed in the Connectors page as well as the process application's main page. You can identify it as an integration connector by the Integration icon Integration icon.

You can also do the following:

  • Click the integration connector to view details about the integration. See View Integration Details.

  • Click the Properties icon Properties icon from the side menu to open the Properties pane and quickly view the integration connector's properties - name, description, and identifier. Note that you cannot edit the properties.

  • Specify if the connector, resources, and operations linked with the integration are visible from the Activities palette while designing structured processes. See Specify Connector Visibility in Process Editors.

Implement an Integration in Processes and Forms

After creating a connector with the integration, you can use it in processes and forms to implement and use the integration in your process application.

Note:

You can only use integrations in structured processes.
  1. Select and open a structured process in your process application.
  2. In the Activities palette, expand Integrations and select the integration connector to use.
    You can also select resources and operations if you've specified that they appear in the Activities palette from the Visibility settings of the integration connector.
  3. Drag and drop the integration connector onto the process flow wherever you want to add it.
  4. Configure the input and output flows of the integration with data association. See Configure Data Association.

You can also implement the integration in a structured process by using the Integration activity under Systems and configuring its properties (service, resource, and operation) from the Properties pane.

You can implement the integration connector in forms like any other connector. See Implement a Connector in a Form in Use Connectors in Process Applications.
