Configure the Oracle CX Commerce Connection

For the integration to run successful, you need to configure the connection from the integrations imported to OIC to Commerce.

You must complete the following steps to configure the connection from the OIC integrations to Commerce.

  1. Log on to OIC as an admin user.
  2. Click the Connections icon.
  3. Click the Oracle CX Commerce connection.
  4. Click the Configure Connectivity button.
  5. Enter the Connection base URL. The Connection base URL is derived using the following structure where <siteURL> is the base URL and port number of the Oracle CX Commerce site that integrates with OIC. For example:
    Connection base URL: https://<siteURL>/ccadmin/v1
  6. Click the Configure Security button.
  7. The Oracle CX Commerce connection uses the OAuth security policy, so you must enter a Security token for the connection. This token is generated in Oracle CX Commerce. Instructions on generating the token can be found in the next Generate a Security Token section of this document.
  8. Click OK.
  9. Click Test to test that the connection is working.
  10. Click Save.

Your Oracle CX Commerce connection is now configured for the integration.

Generate a Security Token

This integration uses the Oracle CX Commerce REST web services APIs to access Oracle CX Commerce data. You must register the integration within Oracle CX Commerce and generate a security token in order for the integration to be granted access to the data.

Follow these instructions in order to generate a security token:

  1. Log onto Oracle CX Commerce.
  2. Click the Menu icon.
  3. Select Settings from the menu.
  4. Click Web APIs from the sidebar menu.
  5. Click Registered Applications from the Web APIs panel.
  6. Click the Register Application button.
  7. Enter a name for the integration. The application you are registering is OIC, so you should choose a meaningful name that reflects this.
  8. Click Save. The Application ID and Application Key are automatically generated and the application is added to the Registered Applications page.
  9. Click on the name of the application you created.
  10. Click on Click to reveal to display the application key. You can copy the application key to use as the security token for the Oracle CX Commerce connection.
