Decouple complex flows into simplified multiple resource REST flow by Madhav Poosarla

Blog: PaaS Community

Oracle has simplified decoupling of complex REST flows using “Multi Verb/ Resource Rest Support”.

We shall illustrate this feature using HCM Data loader (HDL) job use case. Let’s discuss about the use case briefly, and how multi verb/resource rest support feature can be implemented here.

As part of the use case, it loads the new hire information in HCM using HDL job and monitors the job processing. Here it requires couple of resource invocations to HCM from user as below

· Submit the Oracle HDL job.

· Query the job status until completion.

Each of the invocations using Oracle Integration can happen using 2 integration flows, but using the multi verb / resource support, invoking both resources has been achieved using a single integration.

You can expose multiple entry points to a single orchestrated integration that uses the REST Adapter as the trigger connection. Each entry point can be configured with a different resource URI and HTTP action/verb, as necessary. This feature eliminates the need to create multiple integrations (each with a separate resource URI and verb) to perform different operations.

Adding to above, submit resource takes the input data as a Rest attachment. Read the complete article here
