Why do we need Data Stitch when we already have Mapper and Assign? In my last blogs, I discussed Lookups and Libraries. These are two reusable pieces that you use with an integration. The Mapper and the Assign action are the two primary ways to move data around inside the

Why Custom HTML Emails in OIC A few months ago, finance came to me with a familiar ask. Every time a supplier payment failed in the downstream system, send out an alert email. Standard stuff. Then they showed me a mockup. Logo at the top. Failure details in a clean

Why BIP Reports for Outbound Integrations When the data moves from Oracle Fusion to an external system, we call it an Outbound Integration. There are a couple of ways to build one. The downstream system may have a database or a file server where they expect the data in a

Why Libraries Matter in OIC In my prior blogs, I have talked about Adapters, Connections, building a Hello World Integration, and Lookups. Now let's talk about a situation that happens in practically every project now. You need to write some business logic that the mapper can't

Why Lookups Matter in OIC When we connect two systems, the source and target values for all the fields may not be the same. In OIC, we can use Switch Case or, even better, save the mappings in a lookup. You will have to turn off Integration, make the changes,

Why This Blog I had an interaction with an Intern recently. She was trained in OIC by a Professional Trainer but was overwhelmed with so many concepts. She wished someone would start with the very basics and help them understand the concepts in short chunks. That is when I thought

The purpose of a Middleware platform is to move data among many applications, databases, file servers, etc. in the simplest possible way using drag-and-drop visual tools to

Why Connections Deserve Their Own Deep Dive The previous blog on OIC Gen3 adapters (OIC Gen3 Adapters) covered what adapters are, how to check their capabilities, and the most commonly used adapters such as Oracle ERP Cloud, REST, SOAP, ATP Database, and FTP. Also, I already covered connections at a

Why Adapters Are the Right Starting Point Adapters are the first place to start because the first thing we do before building any integration is to check the capabilities of the Adapters. I remember in one of the projects, developers discovered that SOAP WSDL 1.2 binding is not supported
