This blog series explores key concepts and functionality within Oracle Integration. This post focuses on fault handling mechanisms to capture and manage integration faults. Global and scope fault handlers are discussed, emphasizing their importance in building robust integrations and promoting centralized error management. Fault handling is crucial for system reliability, enhancing user experience, troubleshooting, system resilience, error logging, and monitoring. The post demonstrates the impact of fault handling through a practical example involving email notifications in integration flow failures.

Creating an Oracle Integration 3 Instance in Oracle Cloud
The post provides a step-by-step guide on creating and accessing an Oracle Integration 3 instance in Oracle Cloud. The guide includes logging into the Oracle Cloud account, navigation through the menu, selecting developer services, setting up compartments, supplying instance information, and finally creating the instance.
OCI Integration Fundamentals: Versioning
The post discusses the significance of versioning for robust integration lifecycle management, particularly within Oracle Integration Cloud and OCI integration. It highlights semantic versioning, a method of version control for software development that operates on a Major.Minor.Patch model. The post shows through various examples that only one integration can be activated at a time for minor or patch version changes, while multiple integrations can be activated simultaneously for major version changes.
Oracle Integration (Gen2): Connecting to UiPath
Oracle Integration Cloud comes with a library of adapters for both Oracle and 3rd Party applications. All of these capabilities mean that it’s possible to integrate applications faster and increase business agility. In this post I will look at how you can use Oracle Integration Cloud’s capabilities to connect to UiPath across in Oracle Integration generation 2. (future post coming for this same subject area on Oracle Integration Generation 3).
Oracle Autonomous Database: Load Data from Object Storage
In this post we will look at Oracle Autonomous Database, specifically the data load from object storage feature of "database actions" including how to access this feature and how to use it! This data loading feature is really simple to use allowing you to efficiently create tables or update existing tables with data that you might have stored in the cloud, all without writing any code.
NEW FEATURES in Oracle Integration 3! (23.08)
In August 2023, we saw the release of Oracle Integration 3 v23.08 and with it, we yet again see a whole host of new features. In this post I will document some of the key features that you can now take advantage of. This is Oracle's 8th release for the year.
How to Use Your Own Encryption Key for Data Encryption in Oracle Cloud
In this post, I will focus on securing object storage data with your own encryption key, but note that this content is still very relevant for other OCI services such as block, object or file services or Oracle's platform solutions such as databases, analytics, etc. By default, OCI/Oracle automatically manages the keys that are used to encrypt and secure your data on the OCI platform.. this makes things a little simpler - you know your data is secure, so you don't need to worry about it. However, there may be requirements to use customer-managed encryption keys. We will explore how in the post.
Oracle ACE Programme – 6 Months In
The Oracle ACE programme is recognizes individuals who are experts in their field for contributing to the Oracle community. The idea is that Oracle ACEs consistently share their knowledge with the community through many platforms.
Accessing an Object Storage Bucket in Oracle Cloud using Pre-Authenticated Requests
In my previous post, Creating an Object Storage Bucket in Oracle Cloud, I introduced Object Storage in Oracle Cloud and I outlined how you can very easily create an object storage bucket. In Oracle Cloud, object storage is used to store and manage data as objects, providing a reliable, secure and scalable service. OCI Object storage uses “buckets” as a method of organizing the objects (or files). Ultimately, you can think of a bucket as a container that stores –ideally related– objects within an Oracle Cloud compartment within a namespace. A bucket can only be associated to a single compartment and it’s possible to set policies against the compartment & bucket which define the actions/permissions that a user or group have to manipulate the bucket and the objects in the bucket. There are many use cases in which you might want or need to access an Oracle object storage bucket, in this post, I will explain how you can access objects within your bucket using a pre-authenticated request. Look out for a future post on accessing object storage buckets with granted user permissions.
