34 Oracle Sales Cloud
It is important to understand how to work with Oracle Sales Cloud in Oracle Data Integrator.
This chapter includes the following sections:
Introduction
Oracle Sales Cloud delivers high-value, industry-specific sales automation and sales performance management solutions.
Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) seamlessly integrates with Oracle Sales Cloud. Oracle Data Integrator features are designed to work best with Oracle Sales Cloud, including reverse-engineering and mappings.
Concepts
The Oracle Sales Cloud technology concepts map the Oracle Data Integrator concepts as follows: An Oracle Sales Cloud Instance corresponds to a data server in Oracle Data Integrator. Within this instance, a schema maps to an Oracle Data Integrator physical schema.
Knowledge Modules
Oracle Data Integrator provides no Knowledge Module (KM) specific to the Oracle Sales Cloud technology. You can use the generic SQL KMs to perform the data integration and transformation operations of Oracle Sales Cloud data. See Generic SQL for more information.
Installation and Configuration
Make sure you have read the information in this section before you start working with the Oracle Sales Cloud technology:
System Requirements and Certifications
Before performing any installation, you should read the system requirements and certification documentation to ensure that your environment meets the minimum installation requirements for the products you are installing.
The list of supported platforms and versions is available on Oracle Technical Network (OTN):

Setting up the Topology
Setting up the topology consists of:
Creating an Oracle Sales Cloud Data Server
- Duplicate the Oracle technology with the name "Oracle Sales Cloud".
- In the Definition tab, enter the following fields:
- Name : Name of the data server that will appear in Oracle Data Integrator.
- User: User name for connecting to the data server.
- Password: Password for connecting to the data server.
- In the JDBC tab, enter the following values:
- JDBC Driver:
weblogic.jdbc.oraclesalescloud.OracleSalesCloudDriver
- JDBC URL :
jdbc:weblogic:oraclesalescloud://<host>;User=<user name>;Password=<password>
- JDBC Driver:
- Click Test Connection, to test the established connection.
- Delete all the data types under Oracle Sales Cloud/Data Types node in Topology Navigator.
- Reverse-engineer the Oracle Sales Cloud data types by right-clicking Oracle Sales Cloud and selecting Datatypes Reverse-Engineering from the pop-up menu. In the Reverse Engineer Datatypes dialog, select the Data Server name from the drop-down menu.
Creating an Oracle Sales Cloud Physical Schema
Creating and Reverse-Engineering an Oracle Sales Cloud Model
This section contains the following topics:
Creating an Oracle Sales Cloud Model
Reverse-engineer an Oracle Sales Cloud Model
Oracle Sales Cloud supports Standard reverse-engineering - which uses only the abilities of the JDBC driver.
To perform a Standard reverse-engineering on an Oracle Sales Cloud model, use the usual procedure, as described in Reverse-engineering a Model of Developing Integration Projects with Oracle Data Integrator.
Designing a Mapping
You can use Oracle Sales Cloud as a source or a target of a mapping. The KM choice for a mapping determines the abilities and performance of this mapping.
Oracle Data Integrator does not provide specific knowledge modules for Oracle Sales Cloud. Use the Generic SQL KMs or the KMs specific to the technology used as the staging area.
