Accessing Object Storage from Oracle Integration Cloud

In this video, you will see how to push the objects in the Object Storage using Oracle Integration.

Hi Ankur, really great video as always. I had one question, do you have any video or blog post about the callback activity? Not the ess job callback, the callback action between synchronous and asynchronous integration. It's near the re-throw fault action. I've tried to find information on it but couldn't find anywhere.

[@TechSupper]

Not now Partha. I'll check if something can be written on this.

Hi Ankur Nice videos receiving from ur channel.......Please i need in detail about *What is retention period and default retention period of Database in OIC? A) Retention period defines, for how long the success/failed instance can be tracked from OIC dashboard. Default retention period is 3 days for success and fail instances however this limit can be increased or decreased depending on the requirement. *What are three threshold values specified for Database space? 1. Quiesced Mode Threshold 2. Un-Quiesce Threshold 3. Warning Threshold

[@TechSupper]

All the success and failure messages can be tracked which are older than three days by default, that is called data retention. You have an option to update this as per your need. go to the Settings -> Data Retention to update the default values.

Thanks for the information Ankur. My ask is if it is possible to create a secure connectivity between my VPN and private bucket to ensure guys with VPN access would only be access bucket objects.

[@TechSupper]

Hi Rajinder, It should be possible but not sure how to do this. Regards, Ankur

[@andricreyramirez8048]

Hello Sir Ankur , Do you perhaps a video about other website integrating to the oracle and extracting a data from it and vice versa ?

[@TechSupper]

What is the use case?

[@ashokanburaj8203]

Sir ur videos are very useful thank u and can u plss do video for accessing on premises backend data in OIC and use it's endpoint in VBCS

[@TechSupper]

Sure

[@sreedharmohan6079]

Hi Ankur In the same example, if I want to save the file to a folder inside the Object Storage Bucket or read from the file inside a folder, how should we pass it in the relative URL (substitute the object name)?

[@TechSupper]

Hi Sreedhar, There is no folder concept in Object storage however these are buckets. You can provide bucket name in the relative URL as shown at 15:14.

Thanks for sharing, the content is great. I had problems when I went to create the scheduled Orchestartion, Because I did not have an FTP connection defined

[@TechSupper]

You can create a compute instance.

Good One Ankur Bhai

[@TechSupper]

Thanks

[@federicouhrig2707]

good evening, I would like to consult you. If I save an image in a "bucket free tier", is this image available forever?

[@TechSupper]

I guess there is retention policy on the bucket or object level. Please check the retention policy of object storage.

[@husseinahmed7304]

great and thanks although I am getting this error:"CASDK-0005: A connector specific exception was raised by the application. java.lang.NullPointerException" can you help me or any clue you have this error?

[@TechSupper]

When are you getting this error?

[@AhmedPasha0461]

I need to transfer 50gb of data (diff types of files) to object storage what is the best option from OIC?

[@TechSupper]

You can use the same appraoch which is visible in the video.

[@manikumarb]

Need a small help from you. This is regarding the object upload mechanism with regards of how to integrate the latter into Jenkins (jobs).

[@manikumarb]

Do we need "Jenkins -- Object Storage Upload Plugin"

[@manikumarb]

If at all, we need the plugin then, how should it look like?

[@manikumarb]

• use a suitable and supported Object Storage API for the implementation of the upload task • use and enable instance principal authorization • securely determine the target bucket • enforce the defined object naming conventions • mandate the usage of pseudo-folder hierarchies in object names • enforce the provisioning of defined object meta data • may provide multipart object upload • must not exceed the object storage resource limits, notably: (multipart and overall) object size, parts in multipart upload, and metadata size • provide a configurable mechanism which allows for running the upload tool in both the production and stage environments simultaneously, with no interference of each other, or of their respective resources

[@TechSupper]

I didn't get your question Mani.

[@manikumarb]

@@TechSupper The question is simple. Jenkins is in “On Premise”. After the build is made in “Jenkins” (Successfully); the changed or committed files in the GITLAB repository should be loaded onto the object storage on Oracle OCI. What should be strategy in this case? Thanks.

[@bhuvan3814]

Hi Ankur, followed same steps as mentioned. However it is failing with below error. Could you please advise. An error occurred while invoking the REST endpoint.[[oracle.cloud.connector.impl.rest.security.signature.SignatureException: java.lang.ClassCastException: org.bouncycastle.pkcs.PKCS8EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo cannot be cast to org.bouncycastle.openssl.PEMKeyPair

[@bhuvan3814]

Issue is resolved. Have ran openssl commands in Cloudshell to generate public/private key which did not help. Hence have executed same commands in Linux server and reimported keys in oci and connection. Post that this certificate issue got resolved.

[@rajivkumar-ub6uj]

I would like to access the object storage bucket data using REST call (with authorisation header). kindly help me on this please

[@TechSupper]

which data?

[@rajivkumar-ub6uj]

@@TechSupper I have uploaded a video to object storage bucket and I would like to access the video uri with authorisation header (I don't want make it public so the visibility is private & not to create a pre-authorised url)

[@TechSupper]

I'm not sure on this Rajiv.

[@FrederickAlvarez_]

how do you enable cors tu perform requests from another API with presigned urls?

[@TechSupper]

What do you mean by presigned URLs ? What is the exact requirement ?

[@FrederickAlvarez_]

@@TechSupper I want up upload a file to a bucket for this I have a client that talks to a backend, the backed will create a preauthenticated request and share it with the front so that front can upload the file to the bucket without knowing the secret keys this part is already working, however, when the client attempts to send the file to the bucket it fails due to a CORS problem (cross origin request site) the bucket rejects the file I have been looking for an answer but so far no luck 🤞, in aws there is a way to enable cors settings to the bucket but not sure what is the OCI equivalent

[@TechSupper]

I found this stackoverflow.com/questions/53734944/oci-objectstorage-how-to-enable-cors-for-a-bucket

[@FrederickAlvarez_]

@@TechSupper yes, I found the same thing, it is a shame, big mistake, I hope they add this feature soon

How are you trying to access and what's the error? In this video, i have mentioned all the steps.

Can i perform this same process in Oracle apex is that possible

[@TechSupper]

I hope so, you can try atleast.
