Creating Application Connections

Application connections enable you to import and export data to external applications.

You create application connections when you register an application. See:

• Registering Planning and FreeForm Applications
• Registering Financial Consolidation and Close Applications
• Registering Enterprise Profitability and Cost Management Applications
• Registering Oracle Financials Cloud General Ledger Applications

You can also inspect an application and navigate to the Connections tab in order to create an application connection, modify connection details such as the connection URL or the username and password, or delete a connection. See Inspecting Applications.

Application connections to Oracle Cloud EPM applications support basic and OAuth2 authentication. You must register an OAuth2 client for each application connection. See Using OAuth2 in Cloud EPM Applications.

Application connections to Oracle Financials Cloud General Ledger applications support basic authentication only.

Note:

You cannot use application connections in extracts or extract packages. Instead, you must use a global connection. See Creating Global Connections.
