Creating an Agent Group

You must create an agent group in Oracle Integration Cloud Service before you can run the agent installer. When you install the on-premises agent in your environment, you associate the on-premises agent with the agent group identifier. Only one on-premises agent can be associated with an agent group. For a single Oracle Integration Cloud Service instance, you can create up to three agent groups.

To create an agent group:
  1. In the Integration Cloud Service toolbar, click Designer.

    Field Description

    Agent Group Name

    Provide a meaningful name so that others can understand the agent name. The name must be unique among all agent names in the system. The name can consist of the following:

    • Letters (A-Z, a-z)

    • Numbers (0-9)

    • Spaces ( )

    • Special characters ( _ - )

    The name must not begin or end with a space and cannot be longer than 50 characters.

    Identifier

    Accept the default identifier value or change it, if necessary. The identifier is initially the same as the agent group name you provided, but in upper case. When you install the on-premises agent, you must specify the identifier value. For more information, see Downloading and Running the On-Premises Agent Installer.

    Agent Type

    Connectivity Agent is displayed and cannot be edited. The connectivity agent supports integrating with on-premises systems. The agent group references only connectivity agents.

    Description

    Provide a meaningful description so that others can understand the responsibilities of the agent group.
