Create Connections to Applications
A robot must connect to an application to complete its task. Provide the information that the robot needs to connect, such as its credentials and the application's URL, by creating a robot connection. Base each robot connection on a robot connection type, which is similar to a template.

Create a Robot Connection Type
Oracle Integration comes with predefined robot connection types that handle most connection requirements. However, if an application requires additional parameters that aren't included in the predefined types, you can include these parameters in a robot connection type that you create.
To learn more, see About Robot Connections and Robot Connection Types.
Prerequisites:
- Create a Project
-
Determine whether the predefined robot connection types meet your requirements.
If so, you don't need to create a new connection type. See Predefined Robot Connection Types.
The robot connection type appears in the Robot connection types box with a status of Configured. You can now use it to create a robot connection.
Need to update the robot connection type? See Update a Robot Connection Type.
Create a Robot Connection
A robot connection specifies the information that a robot needs to connect to an application. For example, a typical connection specifies the robot's user name and password, plus the URL for the application.
Tip:
Oracle recommends reusing robot connections whenever you can. You save time building, and future updates to the values are faster.The robot connection appears in the Robot connections box.
If your robot needs to connect to another application, create another connection. Otherwise, start build your robot. See Create a Robot.
