Preparing to Load Contractor Licenses

Oracle provides a prebuilt Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC) integration to load licenses and license contacts from a manually provided file, or you can get licenses from a contractor licensing body. Import a package and activate integration settings in OIC before you load contractor licenses.

Your OIC configuration depends on which batch load method you're using. You can retrieve licenses from:

  • A contractor licensing body.

    This option is only available with integration to an external service and integration is enabled on the Contractor License Option Details page. This option applies when you want to update the licenses in your contractor list.

  • A file.

    You can manually load a file with contractor licenses regardless of whether an integration with a licensing body is enabled or not. Contractor contact information associated with a license can be manually loaded using a file only. When an online integration is not available and integration is disabled on the Contractor License Option Details page, licenses can only be loaded using a file. This option can help you migrate contractor data from a legacy system.

For information about integration settings, see Setting Up Contractor License Options.

Here's how agencies configure OIC to load contractor licenses:

  1. Go to My Oracle Support (MOS) and access Doc ID 2759502.1, Configuring Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC) for Loading Contractor Licenses in Oracle Permitting and Licensing.

  2. Follow the instructions on the MOS page, and save the PAR package file for loading licenses from a contractor licensing body or a license file.

  3. Access the main console in OIC.

  6. Select the package file for loading licenses from an external licensing body or license file, then click the Import button.
