Automic Automation / Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Agent Integration

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is a powerful cloud infrastructure platform that allows you to run databases, services, and applications. Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC) is a service provided by the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure that simplifies connectivity between applications that live either in the cloud or that still live on premises.

In other words, OIC enables integrations between various cloud and on-premises applications using the underlying resources and infrastructure provided by OCI.

Integrating Automic Automation with OCI allows you to trigger and monitor OIC Integrations from your Automic Automation system.

Important!

The OCI Agent integrates the target system with Automic Automation. This means that the Agent lives within an Automic Automation system and it gives you access to all its functions and features. If you are not familiar with Automic Automation or if you need specific information about any of its functions, use this Agent-specific help in combination with the Automic Automation product documentation that you can find at Automic Automation documentation.

The Agents and the Automation Engine communicate using TLS/SSL, which requires using trusted certificates to prove the identity of the respective communication partner.

When an Agent communicates with an on-premises Automic Automation system, it establishes the connection to the Java communication process (JCP). When communicating with the Automic Automation Kubernetes Edition, it established the connection to an ingress / HTTPS load balancer. Regardless of the environment you use, you have to make sure that you have the required certificates in place.

Important!

Make sure you are familiar with the TLS/SSL and certificate implementation before installing and/or upgrading the respective component. For more information, see the Automic Automation documentation at:

Note:

This integration capability, like all integrations of the Automic system, can support service orchestration Workflows. Such Workflows orchestrate automated processes that run across multiple platforms, domains, and applications to deliver a specific IT service. For more information, see About Service Orchestration in the Automic Automation help, which is available on docs.automic.com.

Release Cycles

The release cycles of this Agent Integration are independent of the Automic Automation ones.

For more information, see Compatibility Information.

Important Consideration

To implement (install and configure) and work with the OCI Agent Integration (configure Start Integration jobs and include them in other Automic Automation objects), a sound knowledge of Automic Automation is required.

If you are new to Automic Automation, we strongly recommend that you take the following courses before beginning with this integration:

For all users:

For administrators:

For developers and object designers

This documentation describes how to set up the integration and how to work with Start Integration jobs.
