Set Up Geocoding

This procedure lists the steps to set up geocoding in Oracle Cloud applications.

Geocoding is a process that determines the latitude and longitude coordinates for a location. By default, geocoding is turned off in the application. You can use geocoding to display customers in the vicinity of a mobile address.

Enable Geocoding for a Country

To enable geocoding for a country, complete these steps:

1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, go to the following:

   • Offering: Customer Data Management

   • Functional Area: Enterprise Profile

   • Task: Manage Geographies

2. On the Manage Geographies page, search for the country for which you want to enable geocoding. You can either search by the country name or country code.

3. Click Search. The search results for the matching country names are displayed.

4. Select the country for which you want to enable the geocoding option.

5. Select Geocoding Defined for the country.

1. Navigate to Tools > Scheduled Processes work area.

2. On the Overview page, click Actions > Schedule New Process.

3. Click the Name list and search for Populate Location Latitude and Longitude Information, and then click OK.
