some insights into new features into ICS December 2016 release.

Hi folks after a quiet (!) december I've decided to go back to Blogging  !

http://docs.oracle.com/cloud/latest/intcs_gs/ICSGS/toc.htm#GUID-51023E08-955A-4990-A071-767E3AD16A04__DECEMBER2016-739140CB

outlines some of the new features for ICS's new release ( Integration cloud service ) .

quote :
This release of Oracle Integration Cloud Service includes two new adapters (DB2 Adapter and Oracle Logistics Adapter) and enhancements to the REST Adapter, SOAP Adapter, FTP Adapter, and Salesforce Adapter. 
Enhancements are also provided for orchestrated integrations, scheduled integrations, orchestrated integration creation options, custom adapter uploads, Expression Builder functions, XPath extension functions, exported/imported integrations, diagnostic logs, and REST APIs. 

Some of the more important ones to me : 

Orchestrated orchestrations

Application event or business object: uses an event or a business object to trigger the integration. Schedule: uses a schedule to trigger the integration instead of an adapter.

These are really important. 


Here's some more detail about these : 

• Application event or business object: This integration uses an event or a business object to trigger the integration. For example, you create an integration with an Oracle RightNow Adapter as a trigger and an Oracle Sales Cloud Adapter as an invoke. The Oracle RightNow Adapter subscribes to an event from the Oracle RightNow application to trigger the integration.
• Schedule: This integration uses a schedule to trigger the integration instead of an adapter. For example, you add an initial invoke adapter to read a trigger file and a second FTP adapter to download the file for further processing. After designing this integration, you schedule when to run it. For more information, see Scheduling Integration Runs
