Verifying Your White List is Working A lot of customers require all outbound connections from systems to be validated against a whitelist.  This article explains the different types of whitelist that might be applied and why they are important to Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC).  Whitelisting means that if a system is not specifically enabled then its internet access is blocked. The Need If your company requires systems to be whitelisted then you need to consider the following...

Enabling the Future Today Within Integration cloud we are moving to a model that allows us to trial new features without making them available to everyone.  Everone runs the same codebase but feature flags control what is available to a specific instance.  Why would we do this? For multiple reasons: Gain feedback on new features before rolling them out to the whole user base. Test new features in "the wild" in a controlled manner. Be able to rollback new features that may have...

Latest release of Oracle Integration Cloud includes the ability to scale in and scale out the number of message packs, allowing the service to be scaled up for peak times and then scaled back for quieter periods.  This is useful for companies with very variable production loads, such as retailers. Below I outline the steps to find these new features. Navigate to Autonomous Integration from Cloud Console Dashboard Open the Service Console If you don’t see the instance you want...

We were recently doing some work on a system, actually a Robotic Process Automation (RPA) endpoint, that generated unique JSON messages for each type of request.  So a single interface would expect different objects, depending on the request.  The target system actually required a small orchestration to submit a single request and so ideally a single integration would abstract the interface to that service. To help reify things, here is an example: Request One Create Order This...
