Set Up O'Reilly Media Integration with Oracle Learning

You can now import O'Reilly learning content to Oracle Learning as self-paced learning. The content that's imported depends on your O'Reilly subscription plan and the content accessible to you on their platform.

Learner enrollment and completion is tracked in Oracle Learning whether it's launched from O'Reilly or from Oracle Learning. Progress data is sent by O'Reilly to Oracle Learning using the xAPI protocol for sharing learning experience data. So you have a single learning transcript for your learners in Oracle Learning that includes O'Reilly content, regardless of where they launch the content.

  1. In Oracle Learning, create a user account you'll provide to O'Reilly so they can authenticate to your instance and send their content and learner progression.
    1. On the Tools > Security Console page, Users tab, add a user account.
    2. Set Associated Person Type to None.
    3. Enter the appropriate user details so you can identify the account. Give the account a meaningful user name, such as O'Reilly.
    4. Create a job role and include the Learning Content Provider duty role.
    5. Grant this role to the new user account. The role allows this account to use the necessary Oracle APIs to receive content and completions from O'Reilly.
  2. Enable the O'Reilly external provider using the Configure External Providers task on the My Client Groups > Learning page.
    1. Configure the O'Reilly provider.
    2. Enter the user account created in the previous step and validate.
    3. Optionally change the attribute mappings. These let you map certain O'Reilly attributes to attributes in Oracle Learning that you might have extended or modified.
  3. Contact your O'Reilly account team and give them the user name created in Oracle Learning. In turn, they'll provide you with this information:
    • A public certificate so they can authenticate to the Oracle Learning APIs to send content and completion data.
    • The trusted issuer name for their JWT token, it needs to exactly match the value used when configuring JWT.
  4. In Oracle Learning, add O'Reilly's public certificate to authenticate incoming requests from O'Reilly. For detailed steps, see Configuring Oracle API Authentication for Content Provider (document ID 3041374.1) on My Oracle Support.
  5. If they aren't already scheduled, schedule these background processes using the Tools > Scheduled Processes task:
    Process Recommended Frequency Description
