Automation Core

25.04 brings a host of new features: big ticket items include OIC venets for File Server, Decisions in OIC projects, applying auto-retry logic to an invoke connection, a native action to invoke processes from an integration, and many more.

Naturally, there are also many other value-added features coming with this release. First, a quick overview of decisions in OIC projects.

Decisions in OIC Projects

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Decisions, previously only available in Oracle Process Automation, can now be created within the context of an OIC project.

Naturally this also includes the ability to invoke a decision from an integration: 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Decisions allow users to create business rules (for example, to apply a discount to an order) in a declarative manner. These rules can then be exposed as services to OIC and third parties.

Check out the detailed blog post here for more information.

 

Generating Auto-Retry Functionality

This allows an integration developer to easily add retry logic around an invoke. 

The example below includes an invoke of the NetSuite Adapter to create a customer in NetSuite.

Click Add Retry Logic to generate the required actions to implement the retry:

Native Action to Invoke a Process

With 25.04, we can now easily invoke OPA processes from an OIC integration.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Run the integration and then check out the task in the process workspace:

 

There will be a blog post drilling down on this new feature, so check this page going forward.

Common Features

Connectivity

This release introduces AI-powered capabilities that simplify development and improve efficiency:

• AI-driven Document Understanding automates document processing for improved accuracy and efficiency.

• ATP Adapter’s “Select AI for SQL” generates SQL queries from natural language prompts, reducing manual effort.

• FHIR Adapter’s AI-powered Search enhances healthcare data discovery for seamless interoperability.

A major highlight of this release is Identity Propagation, enabling secure user identity transfer across systems. Adapters for REST, Oracle ERP Cloud, Oracle HCM Cloud, and Oracle CX Sales & B2B Service now support JWT User Assertion, ensuring end-to-end security and compliance in cross-application workflows.

Alongside identity propagation, this release brings significant security and adapter enhancements to improve flexibility, automation, and protection:

• Custom OAuth Policy Obfuscation enhances security by masking sensitive credentials, such as client_secret, preventing plain-text exposure.

• FA Adapters (ERP, HCM and CX) now support the JWT User Assertion security policy for invoke connections.

• Amazon SQS Adapter now supports inbound polling, enabling seamless event-driven integrations.

• Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM Adapter introduces custom query parameters for more advanced data retrieval.

• HubSpot Adapter now triggers integrations based on multiple property changes for greater workflow automation.

• Shopify GraphQL Adapter expands multi-domain functionality, allowing seamless operations across multiple Shopify stores.

• FTP Adapter enhances legacy compatibility with NLST command support for optimized file polling.

• Confluent Adapter introduces dead lettering for failed message handling and mTLS security for encrypted communication.

• Microsoft Outlook Adapter now supports query parameters and pagination for scalable email retrieval through the Microsoft Graph API.

We’re also expanding connectivity with new adapters:

• AQ JMS Adapter: Integrates the Java Messaging Service (JMS) with Oracle Advanced Queuing (AQ) for robust, message-based workflows.

• Agiloft Adapter: A partner-developed adapter for seamless data synchronization and workflow automation with Agiloft Knowledge Base (KB).

****Important Updates****
