Create a Connection
Before you can build an integration, you have to create the connections to the applications with which you want to share data.
To create a connection in Oracle Integration:
-
In the left navigation pane, click Home > Integrations > Connections.
-
Click Create.
Note:
You can also create a connection in the integration canvas of:-
An orchestrated integration (See Define Inbound Triggers and Outbound Invokes.)
-
A basic routing integration (See Add a Trigger (Source) Connection.)
-
-
In the Create Connection — Select Adapter dialog, select the adapter to use for this connection. To find the adapter, scroll through the list, or enter a partial or full name in the Search field and click Search.
-
In the Create Connection dialog, enter the information that describes this connection.
- Enter a meaningful name to help others find your connection when they
begin to create their own integrations. The name you enter is
automatically added in capital letters to the
Identifier field. If you modify the
identifier name, don't include blank spaces (for example,
SALES OPPORTUNITY
). - Enter optional keywords (tags). You can search on the connection keywords on the Connections page.
- Select the role (direction) in which to use this connection (trigger,
invoke, or both). Only the roles supported by the adapter are displayed
for selection. When you select a role, only the connection properties
and security policies appropriate to that role are displayed on the
Connections page. If you select an adapter that supports both invoke and
trigger, but select only one of those roles, you'll get an error when
you try to drag the adapter into the section you didn't select. For
example, let's say you configure a connection for the Oracle Service Cloud (RightNow)
Adapter as only an invoke. Dragging the adapter to a
trigger section in the integration produces
an error.
Note:
Oracle Commerce Cloud exposes Admin endpoints and agent endpoints to Oracle Integration. The Admin endpoints can be used as the trigger and invoke role and the agent can be used only as the invoke role. - Enter an optional description of the connection.
- Enter a meaningful name to help others find your connection when they
begin to create their own integrations. The name you enter is
automatically added in capital letters to the
Identifier field. If you modify the
identifier name, don't include blank spaces (for example,
-
Click Create.
Your connection is created. You're now ready to configure the connection details, such as connection properties, security policies, connection login credentials, and (for certain connections) agent group.
Configure Connection Properties
Enter connection information so your application can process requests.
Configure Connection Security
Configure security for your Oracle Commerce connection by selecting the security policy and security token.
- Go to the Security section.
- In the Security Policy field, note that the OAuth security policy is displayed by default, and cannot be deselected. The supported policy is two-legged OAuth 2.0.
- In the Security Token field, enter the security token you received after completing the steps in Prerequisites for Creating a Connection.
