Oracle Integration Cloud Connectors
Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC) is a cloud-based integration solution that simplifies the task of connecting applications from different vendors and hosting locations. It’s designed to perform integration by connecting various SaaS and on-premises applications within different environments. One of the key components that enables this are the connectors.
Connectors act as specialized adapters that facilitate the communication between different systems or applications. They enable you to create integrations that connect applications without writing code, thereby accelerating the integration process.
Here’s a general idea of some types of connectors you may find in Oracle Integration Cloud:
-
SaaS Connectors: These are designed to connect with different cloud-based applications like Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics, Workday, etc.
