Integrate Edflex with Oracle Learning

Complete this one-time setup to configure integration, enable secure data exchange, and start importing, tracking, and managing Edflex learning in Oracle Learning.

1. Make sure that you have an active account with Edflex that allows integrations.
2. Configure Single Sign On between Oracle Learning and Edflex to ensure the correct exchange of user information for learner progression tracking. You can use any identity provider.
3. Enable self-paced learning.
4. In Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Identity and Access Management, generate a unique set of Oracle client ID, client secret, token URL or OAuth server URL, and scope for each POD where you're enabling integration. The set lets you authenticate incoming requests from Edflex to track learning completions.
   1. Sign in to Oracle Cloud console.
   2. Select Navigator > Identity & Security > Domains.

      Complete steps c through l as many times as you have PODs. For example, to enable integration in a development POD and a production POD, complete the steps twice.

   3. On the Integrated applications tab, add a confidential application for Edflex.
   4. Enter a unique name that includes Edflex for easy identification, such as Edflex dev or Edflex prod, and a description.
   5. Submit the application.
   6. In the Configure OAuth step, configure the app as a client now.
   7. For authorization, select Client credentials.
   8. In the Token issuance policy section, add specific authorized resources that are accessible to the users.
   9. Add the Oracle Applications Cloud (Fusion) scope.

      The description shows the scope in the format <resource audience><resource scope>, for example, urn:opc:resource:fa:instsanceid=630113349urn:opc:resource:consumer::all. Copy this scope, which is different for each of your environments, because you'll need to share this information with Edflex.

   10. Submit the configuration.
   11. Review the configuration and activate the app.
   12. From the OAuth configuration page of your activated app, copy the client ID and client secret values because you need to share this information with Edflex.
5. In Oracle, create a job role that includes only the Learning Content Provider duty role--don't include any other duty role. The role lets this account use the necessary Oracle APIs to receive content and completions from Edflex.
   1. Go to Tools > Security Console.
   2. On the Roles tab, create your job role.
   Caution: If you have any IP restrictions or have enabled location-based access control (LBAC), make sure to enable the job role for access from all IP addresses. Otherwise Edflex will get API authentication failures when sending content to Oracle Learning.
6. Configure the Oracle client ID from step 4 as a user account that you'll use in step 7.
   1. On the security console Users tab, add a user account.
   2. Set Associated Person Type to None. Make sure the user isn't associated with a person or worker account.
   3. Enter the appropriate user details so you can identify the account. Make sure that the user name is the same as the Oracle client ID value. Any discrepancy might lead to an unsuccessful configuration.
   4. Add the job role that you created in step 5.
7. Enable Edflex.
   1. Go to My Client Groups > Learning and Development > Configure External Providers.
   2. Configure Edflex and enter the user account created in step 6.
   3. Select a learning catalog profile to apply to all imported Edflex learning. The profile identifies who can see and manage the learning.
   4. To prepare imported learning for discovery and automatically classify it, configure skills and qualifications, audience, and catalog settings. The settings apply to new content imported after you validate your changes. Changes aren't automatically applied to content imported before you validate these changes.

      Changes to the skills library or provider skills aren't reconciled to learning that's already been processed. Skills also aren't re-evaluated when you run Load and Sync External Course Data with Force All External Course Data to Reload set to Yes.

      Because Edflex can send skills in nonEnglish languages, we suggest that you enable the Associate AI-suggested library skill that best matches the provider-associated skill, when exact match isn't found option.

   5. To better support learning discovery in Oracle Learning, review the attribute mappings and update them as appropriate.
   6. Validate the configuration.
8. If they're not already scheduled because another provider is already enabled or you've been creating and managing your own self-paced learning, schedule these background processes.
   • ESS job to run Bulk ingest to OSCS
   • Process Learning Experience Statements
   • Process Learning Catalog Item Deactivations and Deletions

   Reference: Scheduled background processes for Oracle Learning

   1. Go to Tools > Scheduled Processes.
9. If you set the provider content visibility to private, schedule the Reconcile User Groups background process to run daily if it's not already scheduled.
