Oracle ICS to Oracle API Manager

Hello, From last few days i am learning about multiple use case implementation of Oracle ICS, i did not find it difficult as it is using all of the concepts used in Oracle SOA. If you know about API Managers then you are at right place to learn about how ICS can be used with API Manager or you can say how API manager can help you to expose your ICS integration to world with help of API management. If you don't know about  Oracle ICS  or  Oracle Cloud API Manager , I will suggest to have a look over above links. Here in this post we will discuss " how do you expose these ICS services using standard API methods"?? As we know  all the Oracle products have an “API first” strategy, so it wasn’t too difficult to setup an ICS flow to automatically publish new services into the API Platform. You can use your any existing activated integration which can expose from API, We will only see API based integration expose only. The first thing to do was to get information

Oracle ICS On-Premise Agent End to End Configuration

Hi, In my last blog over Oracle ICS, we see what is oracle ICS and how ICS came over with oracle SOA. When we need to use ICS and when SOA. if you missed it, you can read it here  Oracle SOA & ICS . What is Oracle ICS On-Premise Agent: The Oracle On-Premises Agent (aka, Connectivity Agent) is necessary for Oracle ICS to communicate to on-premise resources without the need for firewall configurations or VPN.  You must download the agent installer from  Oracle Integration Cloud Service  and run the installer to install the on-premises agent in your local environment. During installation, you associate the agent with the agent group identifier you generated when creating an agent group in  Oracle Integration Cloud Service . System Requirements and Restrictions: You must satisfy the following prerequisites on your on-premises host before running the agent installer in a production environment: Do not make any custom configuration changes to the agent installed in yo

Oracle ICS & Oracle SOA

Hello Everyone, I came up with few blog over Oracle ICS and after reading those blog, I reached on a point that Oracle ICS is nothing just oracle child version of Oracle SOA BPEL, where you design BPEL orchestration for different type of orchestration and adapter implementation. Oracle ICS is more brode in terms of adapter support as compare to oracle SOA, but it's light weight and have few limitation. Lets first discuss about few difference between oracle ICS and oracle SOA: What is oracle ICS and how it's differ from Oracle SOA: ICS is  equivalent  of Oracle Service Bus on Cloud with few functionalities added whereas  SOA/SOA CS is a full blown functionality of Service orchestration On permises integration support: Integration Cloud Service has two agents: Connectivity agent manages connectivity of on premise applications to ICS on Cloud. Execution Agent which can be downloaded and configured on premise which is an ICS instance on premise (few adapters a
