OIC - Integration properties

Why we need Integration properties and uses:

• OIC allows us to externalize the properties whose values can be updated without modifying the integration.
• Developer can define the properties with their default values.
• Max 10 perperties can be created per integration.
• These properties values cant be modified inside the integration using any action like assign.
• This feature is available in both app driven and scheduled orchestration. 
• You can update the integration properties value from outside of the regular integration design time.
• To override the integration properties, for scheduled integration - it must be in active state and for app driven - it must be in draft or configured state.
• Integration properties are user defined properties available for usage by activities like Notification, Log etc. as read only data.

Use case: we will create 2 intergration properties To and From to use them to notify email in a app driven orchestration.

Steps:

Step1: Create an app driven integrarion and drag and drop a rest trigger connection and set response as below:

{

"status": "messgae sent"

}

Step2: Click on the rest trigger and click on more actions and click on edit integration properties.

Add the parametes From and To and set their default values.

Close

Step3: Drag and drop Notification from action and assign these 2 paramaters From and To and provide some default value to subject and body.

Step4: Save and add a tracking like rest method etc.

Save and it will be now in configure state.

Step5: Go to the integration actions and click on update property values. Click on respective parameter and update with new value if needed. And submit it.

Step6: Activate and test.
