Testing REST trigger-based Integrations in OIC Console
Test Integration feature allows users to test a non-scheduled integration with REST endpoint by invoking it directly from OIC console without relying on any third party software.

- oic.ics.featureflag.spa.designer
- oic.ics.console.integration.invoke-integration-support
- The minimum Oracle Integration version required for the feature is 191110.1400.32380
How it works
