Configuring a Source Connection to an Oracle HCM Cloud Data Source Application

To begin integrating Oracle Human Capital Management Cloud with the Planning Modules, you first create and register the source system with the type "Oracle HCM Cloud".

After the source system and connection information are specified, you initialize the source system. This process creates a Target Application record for each Oracle HCM Cloud extract.

To add an Oracle HCM Cloud source system:

1. On the Setup tab, under Register, select Source System.
2. In Source System, click Add.
3. Enter the source system details:
   1. In Source System Name, enter the Oracle HCM Cloud source system name.

      Enter the name to use for the Oracle HCM Cloud application, such as Oracle HCM Cloud.

   2. In Source System Description, enter a description of the source system.
   3. In Source System Type, select Oracle HCM Cloud.
4. Click Configure Source Connection.

   The Configure Source Connection screen is used to specify the Oracle HCM Cloud connection information, such as the user name and password.

5. In User Name, enter your Oracle ERP Cloud user name.
6. In Password, enter your Oracle ERP Cloud password.
7. In Fusion Web Services URL, enter the URL for the Fusion web service.

   For example, you might enter: https://server/hcmProcFlowCoreController/FlowActionsService?WSDL.

   Replace " fs" with "hcm" in the URL from the one that is used to log on.

8. Before completing the remaining steps, exit the Configure Source Connection screen and complete the following:
   1. On the Source System screen, click Download Extract and save the HCM extracts in the EPBCS HCM Extract.zip to a temporary folder.
   2. Import the Oracle HCM Cloud extracts to the Oracle HCM Cloud. For more information, see Importing the Oracle HCM Cloud Extract Definition.
9. Select the name of the source system to which you are configuring a source connection, and click Test Connection.
10. Click Configure.

    The confirmation "Source system [Source system name] has been configured successfully" is displayed.

11. On the Source System screen, click Initialize.

    The initialize process is used to configure the integration for importing data from the Oracle HCM Cloud.

    One data source application is defined for each Oracle HCM Cloud data extract. The Oracle HCM Cloud extract definitions are exported and shipped out of the box as XML files.

    The initialize process may take a while, and you can watch the progress in the job console.

12. When prompted, specify a prefix for the predefined content of the Oracle HCM Cloud integration.

    You are prompted to specify a prefix for the predefined content of the Oracle HCM Cloud integration.

    Specify a prefix name if you plan to have multiple Oracle HCM Cloud integrations, or you plan to use multiple import formats, locations, or data load rule for the integration with Oracle HCM Cloud. The prefix name is used as a unique identifier for each integration.

    If your integration with Oracle HCM Cloud is a single occurrence using only one import format, location and data load rule, leave the prefix name blank.
