  Building Enterprise integrations in the Cloud with iPaaS brings many benefits, including among others: simplicity, agility and scalability. However, these benefits should not be taxed by having a weak core, not able to properly manage common enterprise requirements, such as error management. I’ve been a bit disappointed with how most iPaaS vendors handle runtime exceptions of integration flows. A typical example of this, is not being able to support dehydration for...

Our API management strategy will be successful only if developers actually use our APIs. And if that happens, we need to: Identity those developers Manage them Communicate to them any changes in our APIs Understand how they're using the APIs Receive feedback from them An API...

In the latest version of Oracle IBCS they added a translation service that can be called before resolving the intent. To start a conversation with the bot in the user language ( Arabic in my case) then we need to use the autotranslation component.
