   • Connection Role: Specify either one of the following roles for your connection:

     • Trigger: This indicates this connection can only be added as a trigger (source) in an integration.

     • Invoke: This indicates this connection can only be added as an invoke (target) in an integration.

     • Trigger and Invoke: This indicates this connection can be added as a trigger (source) or an invoke (target) in an integration.

   • Description: Enter description information for your connection, such as "Create an Oracle E-Business Suite Adapter connection".

   • Email Address: Enter an administrator's email address to receive notifications if problems or changes occur in this connection.

   • Connection Properties: Click Configure Connectivity to open the Connection Properties dialog where you enter a URL (http://<ebs host name>:<port>) to connect to an Oracle E-Business Suite instance.

     Please note that this URL address is where the Oracle E-Business Suite services are deployed and can be publicly accessible either through DMZ configuration or the Oracle Integration agent framework. See the step about configuring the access to Oracle E-Business Suite services, as described in Setup Tasks for Enabling the Oracle E-Business Suite Adapter.
