Understanding OIC Adapters
Adapters are the building blocks of OIC integrations. They provide the interface between OIC and the external application or technology. Each adapter is designed to handle the unique APIs, protocols, and data formats of the target application. Popular adapters include Oracle ERP Cloud, REST, SOAP, FTP, Database, and Salesforce adapters.
Creating Your First Integration
To create your first integration, navigate to the Integrations page in the OIC console, click Create, and choose an integration pattern. The most common pattern is the App Driven Orchestration, which allows you to design a flow triggered by an application event. Map your source and target data using the built-in mapper, and activate the integration to go live.
