Up until recently we would need to generate a Salesforce (SF) Enterprise WSDL in order to create a connection in OIC. That is no longer the case, it's extremely easy to set this up :) Create a SF Connection I have a SF developer instance. Interesting to note that the OIC Connection wizard for SF only offers 2 instance types - Production and Sandbox. My developer instance credentials only work with the Production type. Apart from that you just need your SF credentials and the API version (which you can find inside your SF instance) And that's it! And now you may ask...but how does this work for a Trigger? Well, that requires some configuration in the SF side, and on top of that, we may get several WSDL's depending on how many business objects we configure. But the OIC team came up with a smart approach which does not require changes in the SF Connection. Let me show you the process. Configure SF for Business Events (Trigger) Create an Outbound message in the SF Setup. This i...

Update November 2020: Well, it seems that right after this article, the Evernote Adapter reached its end-of-life:  You cannot create new connections of the Evernote Adapter or Oracle Monetization Cloud Adapter. Existing connections of both adapters continue to work. ---------------------------------------- I started using Evernote some time ago, as a means to store my cooking recipes:) Up until then, every time I had to cook, I had to google for the recipes to help me remember the ingredients - over and over again - with Evernote I keep my own recipes at hand. What does this have to do with Enterprise Integration you may ask? Well...nothing, but it triggered me to go and try the OIC Evernote Adapter. According to the Documentation , it is meant for these type of use cases: "For example, you can collect rich information about your customers, including notes, contact details, and other information into secure notes that only authorized team members can view in one place through Ever...

When we think about Enterprise Applications, the automation of Tweets containing Chuck Norris jokes is not the first thought that comes to mind.....But that's exactly what I will demonstrate in this post :) Some time ago I started to play with a raspberryPI, and to the lack of a better project I picked Python , Twitter API's , the NASA API and some other open API's with facts/jokes. One of those API's was:  https://api.chucknorris.io/jokes/random It simply retrieves a random Chuck Norris Joke :) So lets bring all this together in the Oracle Integration Cloud! STEP1: You need Twitter API keys. Go to:  https://developer.twitter.com/en/apps , create an APP and generate  Keys, secret keys and access tokens. STEP2: In OIC Create a Twitter Connection. This is very straightforward - you will need the keys/tokens from step1 : Consumer key Consumer secret Access token Access token secret Create a REST Connection for the ChuckNorris API. Step3: Create a scheduled Integration ...
