Create a Connection

Before you can build an integration, you must create the connections to the applications with which you want to share data.

To create a connection in Oracle Integration:

  1. In the navigation pane, click Design, then Connections.

  2. Click Create.

    Note:

    You can also create a connection in the integration canvas. See Define Inbound Triggers and Outbound Invokes.

  3. In the Create connection panel, select the adapter to use for this connection. To find the adapter, scroll through the list, or enter a partial or full name in the Search field.

  4. Enter the information that describes this connection.
    Element Description
    Name

    Enter a meaningful name to help others find your connection when they begin to create their own integrations.

    Identifier

    Automatically displays the name in capital letters that you entered in the Name field. If you modify the identifier name, don't include blank spaces (for example, SALES OPPORTUNITY).

    Role

    Select the role (direction) in which to use this connection (trigger, invoke, or both). Only the roles supported by the adapter are displayed for selection. When you select a role, only the connection properties and security policies appropriate to that role are displayed on the Connections page. If you select an adapter that supports both invoke and trigger, but select only one of those roles, you'll get an error when you try to drag the adapter into the section you didn't select.

    For example, assume you configure a connection for the Oracle Service Cloud (RightNow) Adapter as only an invoke. Dragging the adapter to a trigger section in the integration produces an error.

    Keywords

    Enter optional keywords (tags). You can search on the connection keywords on the Connections page.
    Description

    Enter an optional description of the connection.
    Share with other projects

    Note: This field only appears if you are creating a connection in a project.

    Select to make this connection publicly available in other projects. Connection sharing eliminates the need to create and maintain separate connections in different projects.

    When you configure an adapter connection in a different project, the Use a shared connection field is displayed at the top of the Connections page. If the connection you are configuring matches the same type and role as the publicly available connection, you can select that connection to reference (inherit) its resources.

    See Add and Share a Connection Across a Project.

  5. Click Create.

    Your connection is created. You're now ready to configure the connection properties, security policies, and (for some connections) access type.

Configure Connection Properties

Connection consists of email address, connection properties, security details and agent group information. Enter the information so your application can process requests.

Connection Properties

To configure connection properties:

  1. Go to the Properties section.

  2. Enter the following configuration properties.

    • Siebel Host: Siebel Host name or IP of Siebel Application Server.

    • Siebel Connection Broker (SCB) Port: Siebel Connection Broker (SCB) Port number.

    • Enterprise Name: Siebel enterprise name that is configured on Siebel server.

    • Object Manager: Siebel Object manager.

    • Web Server: Siebel web server.

    • Web Server Port: Siebel web server port.

    • Use SSL: Choose whether to use SSL.

      Note:

      If Siebel instance is SSL enabled, choose SSL enabled YES during connection configuration and import respective certificates into the agent.

Security

Configure security for your Siebel connection by selecting the security policy and setting login credentials. A Siebel connection is only allowed for publicly accessible Siebel servers.

  1. Go to the Security section.

  2. Enter your login credentials.

    • Select the security policy. Only the username password token policy is supported. It cannot be deselected.

    • Enter a username and password to connect to the Siebel server.

    The Oracle Siebel Adapter supports a non-managed connection factory.

Configure the Endpoint Access Type

Configure access to your endpoint. Depending on the capabilities of the adapter you are configuring, options may appear to configure access to the public internet, to a private endpoint, or to an on-premises service hosted behind a fire wall.

Select the Endpoint Access Type

Select the option for accessing your endpoint.

Option This Option Appears If Your Adapter Supports ...
Connectivity agent

Connections to on-premises endpoints through the connectivity agent.

  1. Click Associate agent group.

    The Associate agent group panel appears.

  2. Select the agent group, and click Use.

To configure an agent group, you must download and install the on-premises connectivity agent. See Download and Run the Connectivity Agent Installer and About Creating Hybrid Integrations Using Oracle Integration in Using Integrations in Oracle Integration 3.

Test the Connection

Test your connection to ensure that it's configured successfully.

  1. In the page title bar, click Test. What happens next depends on whether your adapter connection uses a Web Services Description Language (WSDL) file. Only some adapter connections use WSDLs.
    If Your Connection... Then...

    Doesn't use a WSDL

    The test starts automatically and validates the inputs you provided for the connection.

    Uses a WSDL

    A dialog prompts you to select the type of connection testing to perform:

    • Validate and Test: Performs a full validation of the WSDL, including processing of the imported schemas and WSDLs. Complete validation can take several minutes depending on the number of imported schemas and WSDLs. No requests are sent to the operations exposed in the WSDL.

    • Test: Connects to the WSDL URL and performs a syntax check on the WSDL. No requests are sent to the operations exposed in the WSDL.

  2. Wait for a message about the results of the connection test.
    • If the test was successful, then the connection is configured properly.
    • If the test failed, then edit the configuration details you entered. Check for typos and verify URLs and credentials. Continue to test until the connection is successful.
  3. When complete, click Save.
