Oracle HCM Cloud

The Oracle HCM Cloud adapter enables you to create an integration with Oracle Human Capital Management (HCM) Cloud applications. You select business objects that an integration receives from Oracle HCM Cloud as a request and as a response.

The Oracle HCM Cloud adapter enables customers to easily integrate their on-premises or SaaS applications with Oracle HCM Cloud without having to know about the specific details involved in the integration.

The Oracle HCM Cloud adapter provides the following benefits:

  • Integrates easily with the Oracle HCM Cloud application’s WSDL file to produce a simplified, integration-centric WSDL.

  • Generates automatic mapping to the exposed business object that you select during adapter configuration:

    • Business object: Represents a self-contained business document that can be acted upon by the integration. An integration can send requests to create a new record for that business object. They can send a request either to update or delete an existing record for a business object. Integrations can also send requests to retrieve information about one or more records representing that business object.

  • Automatically handles security policy details required to connect to the Oracle HCM Cloud application.

  • Provides standard error handling capabilities.

Integration with Oracle Fusion Applications may involve several design-time and runtime considerations that require users to manually build and manage additional logic into their integration for authentication, session management, fault handling, data transformation mappings, and so on. The Oracle HCM Cloud adapter reduces the cost of building and maintaining this complex logic with out-of-the-box features such as a graphical, point-and-click, wizard-based designer. The Oracle HCM Cloud connection:

  • Interacts at runtime with the publicly-exposed Oracle HCM Cloud business objects to perform operations defined on them.

  • Provides contextual information to the developer at design time about the business objects and services available for integration.
