Decoding Agents in Oracle Integration Cloud Services and explore the prerequisites required to install the Connectivity Agent on your local network

Many customers are forging their businesses by adopting cloud services  & most of them have taken their IT infrastructure to the Cloud services, Therefore it becomes imperative to talk about how the system will communicate to other Applications which are not part of Cloud services. 

When Enterprise IT system is hosted on Cloud data centers, there will be a curiosity to know how the application which is hosted on the cloud hub will interact with On-Prem applications or third-party apps.  Well, to interact with external on-prem applications or third-party apps OIC introduced a feature called agents. 

Agents are nothing but intermediatory connector which establishes a link between On-Prem  apps  and Oracle Integration Cloud services


Let's have the architectural design of Agents in OIC 





Connectivity agents are the agent that helps to integrate the on-premise applications with Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC). The agent is required for Oracle Integration Cloud to exchange messages with on-premises applications for example Database, E-Business suite, REST/SOAP API, etc


Step 1: Download Agents by following the below screenshot
