Oracle IDCS is the core identity management system for many of Oracle PaaS services and can also be used with Fusion Applications. As such it is often useful to be able to manipulate identity information from within OIC. In this post I will show how to connect to IDCS from within OIC. One use case for this was the training that Oracle Integration PMs deliver. We create unique user ids for each training, and also have a need to unlock user accounts during training. By creating...

Identifying Integration Cloud IP Addresses In this blog post I will show how to identify IP addresses associated with Integration Cloud. The Challenge When whitelisting services we need to know their IP address. This is easy if we need to identify the inbound address to Integration Cloud, we can just resolve the Integration Cloud hostname to get the IP address of the Integration Cloud load balancer to be whitelisted for inbound traffic to integration Cloud. This is useful...

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...

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...

Maintaining a Clean SOA Suite Test EnvironmentFun blog entry with Fantasia animated gifs got me thinking like Mickey about how nice it would be to automate clean up tasks.I don’t have a sorcerers castle to clean up but I often have a test environment which I use to run tests, then after fixing problems that I uncovered in the tests I want to run them again. The problem is that all the data from my previous test environment is still there.Now in the past I used VirtualBox...

Share & Enjoy : Sharing Resources through MDSOne of my favorite radio shows was the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy by the sadly departed Douglas Adams. One of the characters, Marvin the Paranoid Android, was created by the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation whose corporate song was entitled Share and Enjoy! Just like using the products of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation, reusing resources through MDS is not fun, but at least it is useful and avoids some problems in SOA...

Running Multiple SOA Developers from a Single InstallA question just came up about how to run multiple developers from a single software install. The objective is to have a single software installation on a shared server and then provide different OS users with the ability to create their own domains. This is not a supported configuration but it is attractive for a development environment.Out of the BoxBefore we do anything special lets review the basic installation.Oracle...

Review of Oracle WebLogic Server 12c Advanced Administration CookbookLike all of Packts cookbook titles, the book follows a standard format of a recipe followed by an explanation of how it works and then a discussion of additional recipe related features and extensions.When reading this book I tried out some of the recipes on an internal beta of 12.1.2 and they seemed to work fine on that future release.The book starts with basic installation instructions that belie its...

Who Owns What Port?It is not uncommon to be unable to start a server process because some other process is holding onto a network port that is required by the server. The question is how do you find the offending process? I thought I would identify some of the commands I use to track down wayward port usage.Identify the ConflictThe first thing to do is to identify the port that is being used. Hopefully your log file will indicate which port the server process was unable to...
