Using an Integration Job Type

Use an Integration job type to add and execute or run integrations from the Pipeline. You can add any integration created in Data Integration that extracts metadata and data from an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) source system (a direct integration) or data from a file, and then push it to an Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud target application.

Integration job type parameters include:

Table 12-17 Integration Job Type Parameters

Integration Job Type Parameter Description
Import Mode

Optional: From the Import Mode drop-down, select the import mode for the integration job.

By default, the $IMPORTMODE parameter uses the value of the variable parameter defined in global variables for the import mode (see Editing Runtime Variables). However, you can select different import modes for different jobs. For example, to load metadata in one integration and just data in another, specify different import modes between the two jobs.

Export Mode

Optional: From the Export Mode drop-down, select the export mode for the integration job.

By default, the $EXPORTMODE parameter uses the value of the variable parameter defined in global variables for the export mode (see Editing Runtime Variables). However, you can select different export modes for different jobs. For example, to load metadata in one integration and just data in another, specify different export modes between the two jobs.

Start Period

Optional From the Start Period drop-down, select the Start Period for the integration job.

By default, the $STARTPERIOD parameter uses the value of the variable parameters defined in global variables for the start period (seeEditing Runtime Variables). However, you can select different start periods for different jobs. For example, if you are metadata in a Pipeline, you can set the Start Period to be BegBalance in the job.

End Period

Optional From the End Period drop-down, select the End Period for the integration job.

By default, the $STARTPERIOD parameter uses the value of the variable parameters defined in global variables for the start period (seeEditing Runtime Variables). However, you can select different start periods for different jobs. For example, if you are loading metadata in a Pipeline, can set the End Period to be EndBalance in the job.

File Name

In File Name, if no file profile has been selected for the integration, specify the file name to use at run time.

Click Image shows the File Browser icon. to launch the File Browser and navigate to the target file.

Note:

The directory specified here is appended to the directory specified in the integration definition options section. Provide only the directory relative to the directory in the integration definition.

For example, if the inbox is specified in integration definition, then include only the location/filename here. If no directory is specified, then include: inbox/location/filename.

If a pipeline job specifies an integration on a remote server, you can specify a file in Pipeline job parameters on the local server, and this file will be copied to the remote server to be used as the input file for the integration on the remote server.
