Background In the previous blog we have seen how to Install and Run a Recipe - Extract New Hire Info  from Oracle HCM Cloud. Extract definition is created and executed in HCM Cloud as a pre-requisite for the OOTB Recipe to work. In this blog we will create an Integration Flow in OIC to extend and automate the whole process of executing the Extract instead of having it done manually from HCM Cloud. Also, there has been incredible uptake of cloud storage buckets which provides a simple, low cost mechanism to store both structured and unstructured data. Data Archiving is one of the key use cases for extracts. We will store the extracts in an OCI Storage bucket as part of the Integration Flow. Usecase Flow Pre-requisites Oracle HCM Cloud Extract A Valid Oracle HCM Cloud Extract Definition Configure Webcenter Delivery Option and an Integration Name Note: Do not Submit the extract. We will invoke the same from OIC OCI Object Storage Bucket Login into OCI Console and Navigate to Object Storag

Background Accelerators  and  recipes  are a great way to kick-start on building your integrations. Accelerators are run-ready business integrations or technical patterns you can configure and activate. Recipes are starter templates that give you a head start. Some of the recipes exist today as separate downloads via Oracle Marketplace and other repositories. Oracle-built recipes are harvested and they are made available as part of Oracle Integration instances. OIC new Home Page brings these right to your doorstep! For instance if we need to automate HCM Cloud extract and push it to an SFTP server there is a Recipe for that. As part of this blog series we will see how to customize the OOTB Recipe and modify the Integration Flow Here is the list of OIC Recipes integrating with HCM Cloud  Recipe Usecase There are many usecases where automation of HCM Cloud extracts plays a crucial role. Here are some examples from our Customer Scenarios in their Enterprise Integration world. HR & Pay
