2 Before You Install the Recipe

You must perform the following configuration tasks on your Oracle HCM Cloud instance and sFTP server in order to successfully connect to these external systems using Oracle Integration and export new hire information.

Configure Oracle HCM Cloud

To access the Oracle HCM Cloud instance from Oracle Integration and export new hire information, you’ll need to create a user account for Oracle Integration on Oracle HCM Cloud, and make a few other configurations. See Prerequisites for Creating a Connection.

Also, configure the HCM Extract that you load into your Oracle HCM Cloud instance. See New Hire Export. The Active_Employee_Feed.xml file contains the HCM Extract definition.

Access Your FTP Server and Create a Directory

Obtain a sFTP server and ensure that you're able to access it.

1. Log in to the server using your user name and password through an FTP client; for example, FileZilla.
2. Create a directory on the server into which the exported files will be written. Note down the path of the directory.

   Also, ensure that you have write permissions on the sFTP server directory into which you want to export the files.
