Before creating an integration, you need to create the following two connections:

• Connection for Oracle E-Business Suite

  Once the connection to an Oracle E-Business Suite instance is successfully established, you can add the Oracle E-Business Suite Adapter as an invoke (target) connection later in an integration.

• Connection for REST services

  Similar to the Oracle E-Business Suite connection using the Oracle E-Business Suite Adapter, once the connection to REST services is established, you can use it as a trigger (source) connection later in an integration.

Create an Oracle E-Businss Suite Connection with Oracle E-Business Suite Adapter

Perform the following steps to establish the connection for Oracle E-Businss Suite in Oracle Integration:

1. In the navigation pane, click Design, then Connections.

2. On the Connections page, click Create.

   In the Create connection panel, scroll down and select "Oracle E-Business Suite" from a list of adapters. This creates a connection through the Oracle E-Business Suite Adapter.

   You can optionally use the search feature to enter a full or partial name to locate the Oracle E-Business Suite Adapter.

3. In the Create connection panel, enter the following information for your connection:

   • Name: Enter "EBS122".

   • Identifier: Accept the default populated identifier, such as "EBS122".

   • Role: Select the "Trigger and Invoke" role for this connection.

   • Keywords: Leave this blank.

   • Description: Enter "Use the Oracle E-Business Suite Adapter connection in an integration" as the description.

   • Share with other projects: Do not click this button so that this connection is used for this project only.

   Click Create to create the connection.

4. Enter additional connection details by specifying the following information:

   • In the Properties section, enter a URL (http://<Oracle E-Business Suite host name>:<port>) to connect to an Oracle E-Busiess Suite instance.
   • In the Security section, Basic Authentication is automatically displayed as the security policy.

     Enter operations as the user name and its associated password to access the Oracle E-Business Suite instance you specified earlier in the Properties section.

   • In the Access type section, select Connectivity agent and then click Associate agent group.

     Select a desired agent group such as "EBS" to use with the Oracle E-Business Suite Adapter, and click Use to enable the selection.

5. Click Test to test the connection you just specified for Oracle E-Business Suite.

6. When complete, click Save.

The Oracle E-Business Suite connection "EBS122" now appears in the Connections page.

Create an Connection for REST Services

Perform the following steps to create an connection for REST APIs:

1. On the Connections page, click Create.

   The Create connection panel appears.

2. Scroll down and select "REST" from a list of adapters. This displays the Create connection panel for REST Adapter.

   You can optionally use the search feature to enter a full or partial name to locate the REST Adapter from the list.

3. In the Create connection panel, enter the following information:

   • Name: Enter "GenericREST" as the connection name.

   • Identifier: Accept the default populated identifier such as "GENERICREST".

   • Role: Select the "Trigger" role for this connection.

   • Keywords: Leave this field blank.

   • Description: Enter "The sample source REST endpoint" as the description.

   • Share with other projects: Do not click this button so that this connection is used for this project only.

4. Click Create to create the connection.

5. The Connection details page is displayed for the "GenericREST" connection you just created. Enter additional connection details by specifying the following information:

   • In the Properties section, enter the following information:

     • Connection Type: Select "REST API Base URL".

     • Connection URL: Enter a connection URL (http://<Oracle E-Business Suite host name>:<port>/webservices/rest/process_order) for the "PROCESS_ORDER" REST service operation with process_order alias name that you deployed earlier as part of the prerequisites mentioned earlier in An Example of Using a PL/SQL REST Service as an Invoke (Target) Connection in an Integration.

   • In the Security section, accept the "Basic Authentication" as the default security policy.

     Enter operations as the user name and its associated password to access the "PROCESS_ORDER" REST service you specified earlier in the Properties section.

6. Click Test to test the connection you just specified for REST services.

7. Click Save.

The "GenericREST" connection for REST services appears in the Connections page, along with the Oracle E-Business Suite connection "EBS122" that you created earlier.
