New update in OIC allow us to replace any connection used in an integration with another connection of same Type and Role. Earlier if you want to replace any existing connection of an integration for that you had to delete the existing connection and then configure a new connection in place of that .This action affect the downstream flow and you had to reconfigure most of the thing. It was totally a REWORK.
How this new update can help you ?
One case scenario – suppose you want to change the connection name of a connection that you have used in your integration. You can achieve this using this new feature ‘ #Replace ‘. Just replace the older connection with new connection having new name. It will not affect your downstream flow. NO REWORK:)

Steps Overview to replace older connection with new connection from an Integration :
- Deactivate the integration.
- Click on Actions(hamburger sign) and then click Configure.
- Replace the connection with new connection. Make sure that new connection is of same Role and Type as existing. For Ex- If your older connection was REST Type and Role is TRIGGER then it will get replace by REST TRIGGER only.
- Done. Click save and close. Your connection replaced with new connection. Activate and test the integration.

Much needed capability.. will save a lot of time
Good one Amit…keep posting such useful new features of OIC.
Thanks Ravi 🙂
Let's suppose we have different schema selected inside the DBaaS endpoint, and now we want to change the connection name alongwith the schema name as well, so will it have any impact on the downstream? Will we have to still rework on the mapping?
Dear this experiment you can do by yourself & please let us know the result 🙂
I dont see Replace Option in 21.2.1.0.0 OIC version. Is this option introduced later?
are you checking in free trial OIC Instance ? 🙂
Does anyone happen to know if there is a way to replace one type of trigger connection with another type of trigger connection assuming we have same schema. For example change my trigegr conenction from SOAP Adapter to REST adapter? I couldnt find any documentation.
Thanks Gaurav
as per my knowledge, currently it is not possible in OIC
Thhis was lovely to read

I am getting warning message, Says: "Connection can not be replaced in a pattern integration."
