Create an Integration

Based on the business scenario described earlier, you need to create an integration called "Order to Invoice" with the Application pattern. This pattern allows you to orchestrate trigger, invoke, and switch activities if required into a process diagram in an integration. You can also add mappings on switch branches later if needed.

This section describes how to create an integration with the Application pattern. Information on adding each activity in the diagram is explained later in this chapter.

Perform the following steps to create an integration:

  1. In the navigation pane, click Design, then Integrations.

  2. On the Integrations page, click Create.

    The Create integration panel opens.

  3. Select the "Application" integration pattern for use in this example and click Create.


    The Create integration panel provides options for Application, Schedule, and Event integration patterns.

  4. Enter the following information:

    • Name: Enter a meaningful name for your integration, such as "Order to Invoice".

    • Identifier: Accept the default identifier value "ORDER_TO_INVOICE".

    • Version: Accept the default version number.

    • Documentation URL: Leave this blank.
    • Keywords: Leave this blank.

    • Package: Leave this blank.
    • Description: Enter "Create an integration for order to invoice" as the description for this integration.
    • Available to other projects: Do not select this checkbox in this example so that this integration is only used within the same project. It will not be available to other projects.
  5. Click Create. An empty canvas is displayed.

To complete the integration:
