Integration Architecture
Data EntityData Base Data Base
DATA INTEGRATION
 Database/entity level integrations
 Deals with tables not objects
 Realisations:
 Data replication (smaller sets of
data)
 Batch (large sets of data)
 Data synchronization (keeping in
sync 2 or more databases at table
label)
 Manage file transfers (i.e. CSV file)
* ETL/ELT typically adopted as a technique to achieve
this type of integration –excluding managed file transfer
✔Business
Logic
Business
Logic
Application Object
APPLICATIONS INTEGRATION
 Applications exchange objects via
middleware (vertical & horizontal)
 Transformation, enrichment logic in the
middleware
 Realisations :
 Traditional SOA (i.e. ESB)
 APIs and Microservices
 Enterprise messaging (i.e. JMS)
 B2B (i.e. EDI)
 Manage file transfers
 Cloud Integration

PROCESS INTEGRATION
 A process that spams across multiple
systems
 Orchestration logic in the middleware
 Deals with business objects
 Realisations :
 Process orchestration
 BPMN 2.0 - What you see is what
you get (WYSIWY)
 Human Workflow and Rules
 Adaptive case management
 Robotic process automation
EVENT DRIVEN INTEGRATION
 Choreographed integrations based on
streams of events
 No logic in the middleware (smart edge,
dump-pipe)
 Realisations :
 Even driven architectures (EDA)
 Message streaming (Kafka, kinesis)
 Microservices (event
collaboration)
 Internet of Things (IoT)

When to use ICS vs other Oracle Integration Options
Low volume / small
scale, simple, DIY ok
JCS or ACCS + Event Hub
Modula Design or even all out
Microservice
OSSI
Allow ‘self service integration’,
user centric processes e.g.
Eloqua to dropbox
Technical Orchestration,
Adherence to published
standards required, complex
end of orchestration needs,
need to tune workloads
Lift & Shift
– just moving workload
ICS
Orchestration with some
complexity, cloud centric
integration, LoB solutions, PCS
 API  ICS (map,
orchestrate)  end system
Green field?
Special cases
- Java beans for
technical logic NOT
orchestration
Pricing model
- Pricing models can
push you up or down
- Higher volume more
likely to push you up
If we can avoid crossing
the divisions then we’re
cost effective
No. Occurrence of Use Cases
Complexityofworkload
high volume /
complex
Microservice & performance
sensitivity …
- high elasticity needed at run
- execution speeds need to be
optimal
- more discipline to avoid tight

Capgemini have a framework offering for Police &
other Emergency services that handles
• Accounting Financial Services inc payroll, expenses etc
• HR including complexities of skills management,
certification for operations (e.g. weapons training),
rostering, tasking
• Capturing dynamic events such as shift sign in & out,
availability for call – integrating Command & Control
Old solution build around EBusiness Suite and some
specialist solutions
• Government agencies looking to move/reduce non-
essential costs e.g. running data centres is encouraging
cloud adoption
Solution
• Oracle Finance Cloud, HCM, CX, IaaS for dedicated
rostering tools
• Some dedicated systems have to remain on-premises
• Need to integrate on-premises solutions
• Classic bulk (e.g. Bank stmt) time sensitive sign in & out

Why ICS for t-Police?
Cloud Factors
• Integrating Oracle SaaS meant significant
changes to that side of integrations
• Integrations to on-premises solutions
would not port (e.g. SQL based)
• Rule out simple lift & shift
• Need to support PaaS-for-SaaS for
enhancements identified
• Existing operational practises needed to
change as well (e.g. data change by
accessing DB in EBS).
• Some ways of working learnt from on-
premises meant time to introduce some
new strategies
Challenges
• ICS simpler to work with than SOA
• Technology direction / innovation
indicated ICS is likely to be a better bet
• Overcome ICS gaps using JCS or ACCS
and small pieces of development
• Developed patterns that would allow
development of own adaptors until
Oracle strategic offering stabilised with
minimal cutover later
• Provision of connection & execution
agents meant hybrid requirements can
be satisfied in a manner better than SOA
CS
• Managed PaaS meant investment is in
building out integrations & enhancements
• Lot of the integrations had common
domain names & limited number of
different connectors
Decisions

18
Retailer experiences fairly high staff turnover in stores
• Need to streamline its recruitment process
• Enable the process to be far more self service
• Desire to move towards a solution framework that will
support agility through a digital / extensible framework
• API driven – so front end can be adapted to new
demands quickly
Solution
• Oracle HCM, Taleo, API-Platform, ICS, & Microservices on
JCS, Diary/Scheduling solution
• HCM Seen as Strategic HR platform
• Taleo gives traditional job website front end
• ICS provides orchestration of back end SaaS solutions
• Microservices provide data manipulation and logic to
support JET clients offering modern interfaces inc reactive
& responsive websites

Why ICS for Retailer?
Cloud Factors
• Want to take advantage of any OOTB
integration capabilities
• Simplify the access to solutions
• Cloud native requirements
• Smaller simpler footprint compared to
SOA-CS
• Strategic roadmap for ICS vs SOA-CS
Challenges
• Whilst Microservices is good for small
algorithm functional development &
provide performance
• No legacy to support – lift and shift not
needed
• SaaS to SaaS easier to describe as an
integration – therefore maintain
• Number of connections meant pricing
was cost effective
Decisions

Recommendations given arrival
of OIC

21
Recommended direction of travel
• Work out transition to roadmap, will need to take into account …
• Contractual agreement (unmetered or metered models)
• How many connectors are you using in the ICS instance (cost reduction?)
• If want to offload DB management etc like ICS – wait for Oracle managed service
• Are you using a classic account or an IDCS managed Oracle Cloud account?
• If the former – recommend wrapping up in the migration to IDCS managed as it brings other
benefits
• You’re likely to encounter some technical tasks like repointing DNS – do you have a suitable
cutover window?
• DB schema changes
• Authentication changes etc
If you have adopted ICS already …
• Recommend adopt OIC as …
• Better pricing model (CPU rather than connections)
• Access to more connectors
• Will have to make the migration sooner or later
If you’re about to order …
