1. Using the Oracle Taleo Enterprise Edition Adapter with Oracle Integration Generation 2
  2. Create an Oracle Taleo Enterprise Edition Adapter Connection
  3. Create a Connection

Create a Connection

The first step in creating an integration is to create the connections to the applications with which you want to share data.

  1. In the left navigation pane, click Home > Integrations > Connections.

  2. Click Create.

  3. Select the Oracle Taleo Enterprise Edition Adapter from the dialog. You can also search for this adapter by entering a partial or full name in the Search field, and clicking Search.

    The Create Connection dialog is displayed.

  4. Enter the information to describe 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, do not include a blank space (for example, Import Candidates).

    • 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. You can only use the Oracle Taleo Enterprise Edition Adapter connection as an invoke.

    • Enter an optional description of the connection.

  5. Click Create.

    Your connection is created and you are now ready to configure connection details, such as connection properties, security policies, and connection login credentials.

Configuring Connection Properties

Enter connection information so your application can process requests.

  1. Go to the Connection Properties section.
  2. In the Host field, enter the host address of the Oracle Taleo Enterprise Edition instance. For example, https://<your_zone>.tee.taleocloud.net. If you provide only the zone name, like <your_zone>.tee.taleocloud.net, https:// is added by default when testing the connection and using the adapter.
  3. In the Port field:
    • enter 443 if you access Oracle Taleo Enterprise Edition over HTTPS
    • enter 80 if you access Oracle Taleo Enterprise Edition over HTTP

    The value you enter into the Port field is added to the end of the URL when testing the connection and using the adapter. For example, if you entered <your_zone>.tee.taleocloud.net into the Host field and 443 into the Port field, the connection URL becomes https://<your_zone>.tee.taleocloud.net:443.

Configuring Connection Security

Configure security for your Oracle Taleo Enterprise Edition Adapter connection by selecting the security policy and security token.

  1. Go to the Security section.
  2. Enter your login credentials:
    1. Select the security policy. Only the Username Password Token policy is supported. It cannot be deselected.
    2. Enter a username and password to connect to Oracle Taleo Enterprise Edition.

      The registered user within Oracle Integration must be the same as the one used forOracle Taleo Enterprise Edition.

      Oracle Taleo Enterprise Edition requires a user account to access the zone and conduct integration jobs. This user account must be configured with System Integrator permissions for the products with which you want to integrate. See your Oracle Taleo Enterprise Edition application configuration guide version for guidelines on creating and configuring users within your zone. For example, for release 20c, see User Account in Implementing Recruiting.

      It is recommended that when creating integration user accounts to use with Oracle Taleo Enterprise Edition, you use different username and password combinations for each zone. This removes any inadvertent issues around zone access.

    3. Reenter the password a second time.

Test the Connection

Test your connection to ensure that it is successfully configured.

  1. In the upper right corner of the page, click Test.

    The connection is tested against this URL: http|https://Host:Port/smartorg/soap, where Host and Port are the values you entered in the Connection Properties section. The test validates that this URL is accessible and that the credentials you provided are valid.

    If the test is successful, the following message is displayed and the progress indicator shows 100%.

    Connection connection_name was tested successfully.

  2. If the test was unsuccessful, an error message is displayed with details. Verify that the configuration details you entered are correct.
  3. When complete, click Save, then click Back button.
