What…?
OIC-Oracle Cloud Integration is a cloud-based Integration tool. It seamlessly integrates on-prem applications with Oracle Cloud (SaaS) or other Cloud Apps (as Workday, Salesforce etc.) to other Cloud Apps. Like any other integration tool in the market (as Dell Boomi), OIC brings together all the capabilities of Application Integration, Process Automation, Visual Application Building, and Integration Analytics into a single unified cloud service. Oracle Integration Cloud now brings real-time and batch-based integration, structured and unstructured processes, case management, stream analytics and integration insight allowing customers to service all their end-to-end integration needs in one cohesive platform so that all users can now build and deliver capabilities needed to realize true Digital Business Transformations.
How…?
Oracle have announced Oracle Integration Cloud, the next evolution in their cloud integration capabilities and OIC relies on ADAPTERS to create connections with the end points. End Points mean source and destination entities between which data is to be exchanged.Imagine OIC as a pipe capable of transforming, mapping data between two discrete entities – Adapters connect to these entities. In OIC – data is read, mapped, transformed, orchestrated from Source via Connection Adapters with usual stuff as fault Handling (local and global) available and is transferred to the Destination again via Connection Adapters.
