Which statement is valid regarding connection resources in Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC)?

In Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC), a connection is a fundamental resource used to communicate with a specific application instance. The creation of any connection resource begins with the selection of an adapter. The adapter provides the necessary interface and protocol-specific logic to interact with the target application (e.g., REST, SOAP, Oracle ERP Cloud, Salesforce). This association is mandatory and independent of the connection's role (Trigger or Invoke) in an integration.

A. Lookups are separate components used within an integration's mapping logic for dynamic value translation; they are not a required part of a SaaS adapter's connection configuration.
B. The OIC Connectivity Agent is only required for connections to applications residing in a private or on-premises network, not for all connections, especially those to public cloud services.
D. A single connection resource can be configured to support both Trigger and Invoke roles if the underlying adapter's capabilities permit it. The roles are not mutually exclusive.

"Manage Connections": In the section "Create a Connection

" the first step listed is to "select...the adapters you can select to create connections." This confirms that every connection must be associated with an adapter.

"Manage Connections": In the section "Edit Connection Properties

" the documentation states for the "Role" property: "Select the role (direction) in which to use this connection. A connection can be used as a trigger

an invoke

or both." This directly refutes option D.

"Manage Agent Groups and the Connectivity Agent": The documentation's overview states

"The on-premises connectivity agent enables you to create integrations that connect to your on-premises applications." This clarifies that the agent is not for all connections

refuting option B.
