Create an Orchestrated Integration

This section describes how to create an orchestrated integration. It also provides an overview of the orchestrated integration canvas.

To create an orchestrated integration:

  1. Follow the steps in Create Integrations to create an orchestrated integration.

    An empty integration canvas with the following sections is displayed:

    • The Triggers icon icon in the upper right corner enables you to display a menu of available trigger adapter connections (for example, Oracle CX Sales and B2B Service Adapter). Click an adapter to display the number of configured adapter connections available for adding to an integration. A trigger enables you to create an inbound connection in an integration.

    • The empty integration is identified by a START label in which you can drag the trigger to define the inbound part of the integration. You can also place your cursor over the + sign to invoke an inline menu for adding a trigger. See Add Actions, Connections, and Artifacts Through an Inline Menu.

    • Several icons are provided in the upper left corner for working with the integration.

      • Canvas View button Canvas View: Displays the default view of the integration canvas.

      • Pseudo View Pseudo View: Displays the integration vertically with child nodes indented. Details about each node in the integration are displayed to the right. You can edit the integration by selecting the + sign to invoke an inline menu for adding invokes and actions. See Add Actions, Connections, and Artifacts Through an Inline Menu. When you select Pseudo View, the options for Layout View disappear.

      • Global Fault: Select to add a global fault to the integration.

      • Select: Select to move specific portions of an integration.

      • Reposition: Select to enter reposition mode, then select the action or invoke in the integration and drag it to a different part of the integration. You can reposition invokes and assign, function call, map, notification, stage file (except for the Read File in Segments operation), scope, and wait actions. You cannot reposition stop, return, or error hospital elements; and repeat elements such as for-each, while, and switch actions. For this example, Assign1 is being moved below Assign2.

        When the action or invoke is moved, the integration design is refreshed. When you click Save, validation errors or warnings caused by the move are displayed in the Errors palette and on the individual actions or invokes. The Errors palette shows the element names. The error/warning count is displayed at the top right. The count represents the number of actions that have errors/warnings. If you fix all errors, and only warnings still exist, the count of actions that have warnings is displayed. Click Reposition again to return to edit mode to resolve any errors.

      • Layout: Select the option for viewing the integration layout:

        • Horizontal: Displays the integration horizontally.

        • Vertical: Displays the integration vertically.

      • Reset: Click to reset the integration to its normal size and place it on the left side of the page.

    • Several icons are provided in the upper right corner of the integration for adjusting the size of the integration and getting started with integration design.

      • Zoom Out: Click to decrease the size of the integration.

      • Sizing Bar: Drag the circle up and down the bar to change the size of the integration.

      • Zoom In: Click to increase the size of the integration.

      • Zoom To Fit: Click to make the entire integration visible on the page.

      • Go To Trigger: Click to go to the trigger connection in the integration.

      • Maximize / Minimize: Click to maximize the size of the orchestration. Click again to minimize the size of the orchestration.

      • A box below these icons shows a scale model of the undefined integration. You can place you cursor within the box or anywhere in the canvas to move your integration. You can also drag parts of the integration (such as switch actions) around the canvas to redraw the integration. However, the order of the integration does not change.

      • Triggers: Click to display a list of trigger connections from which to choose.
      • Errors: Displays an errors in the integration.
