Integration Security
Data Security
Lack of resources, reports, and tools for greater visibility and control over cloud subscription costs
Program Security
Procurement is no longer the gatekeepers on cloud spend - cloud spend power has been pushed to the engineers
OIC Security
Inability to charge back or amortize the cost appropriate to the teams that are responsible for the spend
Integration Patterns
Inbound
Boundary Systems to Oracle Cloud ERP via Integration/Data Hub or otherwise (On-prem to ERP Cloud, Cloud to ERP Cloud)
Patterns:
Scheduled Orchestration - File-Based Data Integration (FBDI)
Options available:
- Data from source systems (or Hub) will be placed on the OIC file server
- OIC scheduler will pull the data from the OIC file server
- OIC orchestrations will transform the data based on Oracle ERP Cloud format
- Transformed data will be pushed to Oracle ERP Cloud from OIC
APP Driven Orchestration - Web Services Based (REST/SOAP)
Options available:
- OIC integration will be exposed as REST/SOAP service for the third party to consume
- OIC orchestrations will validate and transform the data
- Oracle ERP REST/SOAP services will be called to perform the transactions
- Oracle ERP Cloud adapter will be used in case REST functionality is not available
Outbound
Oracle Cloud ERP to boundary systems via Integration/Data Hub or otherwise (ERP Cloud to On-prem, ERP Cloud to Cloud)
Data Push (File Extract) - Scheduled / On-demand File Extract, BICC
- BI reports can be used to pull the data extract in delimited format ➢ Data pulled will be pushed onto the file server
- Downstream systems can consume the data from the file server for further processing
Event Subscription - Business Events, Web Services
- OIC will subscribe to the business events of the respective transaction of Oracle ERP Cloud
- OIC performs the required transformation and can:
- Create a file in the file server for third-party legacy application in the required format
- Or call an API and push the data to external systems
- An Apache Kafka adapter is also available if stream-based integrations are required
- A POC will be needed to validate the functionality
