Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about OHIP integration for vendors
Oracle has indeed moved away from their formal product certification program for ISVs. The current situation is as below:
- Oracle no longer offers a standard product certification program for ISV solutions
- The Oracle Cloud Marketplace listing has replaced the formal certification process
- Technical reviews of ISV products are now only conducted on an exceptional basis
- These reviews are typically only performed when specifically requested by an important Oracle customer
- Such reviews are limited in scope to that specific customer engagement and don't result in a general certification
This shift represents a significant change in how Oracle engages with its ISV ecosystem, moving from formal certification to a marketplace-centric approach with occasional customer-driven reviews. For ISVs building on the Oracle platform, this means focusing on Oracle Cloud Marketplace presence rather than pursuing certification.”
OHIP uses modern REST API technology compared to the older XML/SOAP interfaces or OXI. This provides greater security, flexibility, real-time capabilities, and standardization. OHIP is Oracle's strategic integration platform for Opera Cloud, with continuous enhancements and expanded capabilities.
Oracle certification typically requires demonstration of functional requirements, security standards, performance criteria, and documentation. The process includes submission of technical materials, functioning integration demonstration, and compliance verification. Our certification support package guides you through each step.
Development timelines vary based on integration complexity, but typical timeframes range from 8-16 weeks from initial assessment to certification-ready integration. Simple connectors may be completed in 6-8 weeks, while complex bidirectional integrations may require 12-20 weeks.
Yes, vendors offering OHIP integrations must join the Oracle Partner Network (OPN) and maintain partnership status. We can assist with the partner application process and help you meet the technical requirements for partnership.
Oracle periodically updates OHIP with new features, improved endpoints, and occasionally deprecates older functionality. Our maintenance services include monitoring for these changes, assessing impact, implementing necessary updates, and ensuring your integration remains compatible.
No, OHIP integrations only work with Opera Cloud implementations. However, we can develop dual integration approaches that support both traditional Opera interfaces and OHIP, allowing you to serve customers regardless of their Opera version.
