Getting Started with Oracle Integration Cloud Services- Testing ICS integrations (4/4)

In my last post at https://www.garudax.id/pulse/get-started-oracle-integration-cloud-services-creating-pulkit-mathur-1e/?published=t, we created an orchestration for coordinating ICS and the LinkedIn adapter. In this blog, we will create a SoapUI project for testing the integration, and confirm that it works as expected.

1) Create a new REST project in SoapUI, and enter the endpoint of your integration. Make a small change in the URL, replace the ‘metadata’ in the end with ‘postopp’. If you remember, this is the relative resource URI that we configured when configuring the REST adapter in the integration, thus the REST adapter is expecting a request at this endpoint

2) Click OK. Now, change the method that you are calling to ‘POST’, put

{

 "destination": "LinkedIn",

"message": "We have a new opportunity https://www.accenture.com/cn-en/careers/jobdetails?id=00352101_en"

 }

in the request field, and configure ‘basic authentication’ with your ICS login and password (for SOAPUI to be able to access ICS)

3) Test the request. You should see the response message in the response pane as shown below

4)   Go to your LinkedIn account, and check your recent activity. You should see something like this:

5) Finally, the implementation and testing for the service is complete

Tracing abilities of ICS:

To track your requests, go to the ICS home page and click ‘Monitoring’ at top right. This would bring you to the below. You could drill down to see individual messages and any error messages by clicking on the first card. Also, it is possible to download out, diagnostic and the main logs from this screen for detailed troubleshooting from this screen

I hope you found this series of blogs useful in taking your first steps towards Oracle ICS. I would love to hear your views about this series, and if you faced any problems in implementing this. Please message me or comment below, and I would try to answer at the soonest.
