![]() Recently I used Application Express 5.0’s “Group Calendar” packaged app to simulate a scheduling system. We wanted to show how external systems can be launched from within Sales Cloud and then turn around and create meeting appointments via RESTful web service calls back into Fusion, and the packaged app was the quickest way to prototype a 3rd-party “scheduling” system that can make REST calls. Adding Contacts to a meeting are a two-phase REST call.Watch out for too-huge responses in APEX.(tl dr: you can use APEX to do cool REST calls and query/create via Fusion APIs) Here are some random notes picked up during this assignment for refining on future projects: I hijacked the Create Event button procedure that already existed in this packaged app, adding functionality to have the Fusion APIs create a corresponding meeting in Sales Cloud and attaching a contact to the appointment. The new R10 RESTful APIs are documented in a fancy new format, as opposed to the SOAP API format that is available in the OER. ![]() There are also some older articles on integrating to Fusion with APEX, and although the Fusion blog entries are mostly SOAP-oriented there is at least one newer one about creating a REST request in PL/SQL (albeit not to Fusion read on for that!).Īnd there’s the monstrously-large Oracle Sales Cloud There are really good R10 RESTful API intro write-ups on the FADevRel blog. Using RESTful Web Services whitepaper available on MOS. I used apex_web_service.make_rest_request to send my requests back to Sales Cloud from a PL/SQL package so that it would fit in with the existing scaffolding in the packaged app. I originally wanted to model the Fusion RESTful APIs as Web Service References in Application Express and even got the Fusion API set up as a APEX Shared Component, but ended up rewriting the call as a PL/SQL package to match the existing Group Calendar code. Still, the APEX Web Service References has a nice test harness to let tweak your headers and see the JSON response from your call. It helped me validate that the payload I was creating worked from APEX. ![]() TCA created a total of five stores to meet the demand for the popular Newsbar concept.Click here for a 3.4MB animated GIF of the testing harness proving it could create an appointment in Sales Cloud. Because of these factors, TCA was able to create an open ambiance for Newsbar encouraging customers to sit and read, finding community in the shared gourmet coffee and glossy publications. Throughout the space, raw materials are used as a counterpoint to enhance the products and the polished, industrial beauty of the coffee equipment, as well as the colorful allure of international magazines. TCA-designed "satellite" tables along the storefront wall feature glossy publications sealed under glass. The main counter is poured concrete atop a translucent fiberglass panel and the floor, like a city sidewalk, is also made of poured concrete. Newsbar was a hip, sleek urban experience for the pre-Starbucks era.Ī new interpretation of a drugstore counter/candy store, TCA's design for Newsbar uses glass facade transparency and industrial materials to reinvent the urban community meeting space. Newsbar took this experience one step further, as Turett envisioned a high-end coffee bar and retail space, great looking and comfortable at the same time. In the mid-1970's, Wayne Turett had designed a popular newsstand on the Upper West Side of New York City, which subsequently won a City Art Commission award for its clean lines and intuitive functionality.
