Creating a Soft Coding Record for an Orchestrator Connection

1. On the Orchestrator Studio Home page, click the Connections icon.

2. On the Connections side panel, click the New button and select Orchestration from the drop-down list.

3. On the Connection design page, complete these fields:

   • Name. Enter a unique name for the Orchestrator connection.

   • Description. Enter a description to identify the connection. For example, if you are creating more than one soft coding record to connect to different locations, you should include the respective location in the description of each of the soft coding records

     The Type of connection is displayed next to the Description field.

   • User/Role. Enter the user who is authorized to run the originating orchestration, which is the orchestration on the local system that will call the external orchestration. The user can be an EnterpriseOne user, role, or *PUBLIC.

   • Environment. Enter the environment where the local orchestrations reside.

4. On the Service Information tab, in the Endpoint field, enter the URL of the Orchestrator directory on the AIS Server where orchestrations are stored, for example:

   https://<aisserverdomain>:<port>/jderest/orchestrator

   Important: Oracle strongly recommends that all external calls use the SSL protocol (https) with a certificate from a reputable certificate authority.Oracle recommends using SSH file transfer protocol, otherwise referred to as Secure FTP (sFTP). The system does not support FTPS.

5. On the Security tab, enter the credentials for accessing the external system.

   • Security Policy

     Select the authentication type that is used by the external AIS Server: Basic Authorization or User/Password Authorization.

   • User

   • Password

   • Override Environment. Use this field and the Override Role field to override the existing environment and role that are configured for the external AIS Server. For example, if you enter JDV920C1 and ADMIN in these fields for the soft coding record, when the external orchestration call is made (during the execution of an orchestration), the system will sign on to the external AIS Server with the environment JDV920C1 and the role ADMIN.

   • Override Role

6. If the connection is being made to an external server, on the Proxy tab, specify a proxy server for accessing the external server:

   • Proxy Host. Enter the URL of the proxy server.

   • Proxy Port. Enter the port number of the proxy server.

   • Use Proxy. Slid the toggle to the right to enable the proxy.

7. Click Save.
