Creating a Soft Coding Record for an Orchestrator Connection

1. On the Tools page in the Orchestrator Studio, click the Connections icon.

2. On the Connections page, click New Connection.

3. On Connection Information, 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 location in the description.

   • Type. Select Orchestrator.

   • User/Role. Enter the user authorized to run the originating orchestration–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 to 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.

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

   • Security Policy

     Select the authentication type 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 environment and role 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 environment JDV920C1 and role ADMIN.

   • Override Role

6. If the connection is 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. Toggle right to enable the proxy.

7. When complete, click Save at the top of the Connections page.
