Understanding Oracle HCM Cloud Adapter Design Integration Patterns

Oracle HCM Cloud adapter supports the following design integration patterns in the Adapter Configuration Wizard.

Outbound Integration from Oracle HCM Cloud Adapter into the Oracle HCM Cloud Application

  • You configure the Oracle HCM Cloud adapter to connect to the Oracle HCM Cloud application.

  • You navigate through the set of available business objects (standard and custom) and select an operation to invoke the object. You can also use the search facility to locate a business object.

  • You save the adapter configuration and exit the Adapter Configuration Wizard.

  • You map the application business object with the logical business object of the Oracle HCM Cloud.

  • You complete the design of the SOA composite application.

At runtime, the SOA composite application performs the selected operation on the business object on Oracle HCM Cloud using the Oracle HCM Cloud adapter.

Inbound Integration into Oracle HCM Cloud Adapter from the Oracle HCM Cloud Application

The Oracle HCM Cloud adapter can also be configured for inbound connectivity. For example, you may want to integrate an on-premise application with the Oracle HCM Cloud application by defining an inbound service interface using the Oracle HCM Cloud adapter. This service is then invoked by Oracle HCM Cloud.

  • You define an inbound service interface to be invoked by Oracle HCM Cloud.

  • You configure a service endpoint by browsing through a list of objects. You select the business object to receive from Oracle HCM Cloud as a request payload to this SOA composite application.

  • You complete the Oracle HCM Cloud adapter configuration.

  • You complete the design of the SOA composite application as per the business requirements.
