Configuring an Oracle Eloqua connection
Configuring a connection to Oracle Eloqua allows Oracle Infinity to connect to your instance of Eloqua. When this connection is used in the configuration of an action, it can be used to deliver data from Infinity to your contact profiles in Eloqua. With this data, you can make sure your contacts' profiles are consistently updated, providing more accuracy for your campaigns.
