Prerequisites for Developing Integrations
Depending on your organization's requirements, you might need to perform some, all, or none of the prerequisites for designing integrations.
Complete the required prerequisites one time, before you start designing integrations.

1 |
Plan your work |
Before you start building, spend some time planning your work. For example:
|
2 |
Complete the prerequisites for the applications you're connecting |
Required if: The adapter you're using to connect to an application has prerequisites. Most adapters have prerequisites. Get started: Complete the prerequisites described in the guides for each adapter. Additionally, determine the security policies and connection login credentials that you'll use for the connections that are based on the adapter. See Configure Connection Properties. |
3 |
Install the on-premises connectivity agent |
Required if: An integration needs to connect to applications that reside in an on-premises network. Not needed if: You're connecting to cloud applications only. Learn more: About Connecting to On-Premises Applications. Get started:
After you install the connectivity agent, you can create a connection that uses the agent group and its associated connectivity agent. See Create a Connection with an Agent Group. |
4 |
Configure a private endpoint |
Required if: You need to connect to private resources and must route the traffic through a private channel. Not needed if: You don't need to connect to private resources, or you need to connect to private resources but don't need to route traffic through a private channel. Learn more: Connect to Private Resources in Provisioning and Administering Oracle Integration 3. Get started:
Later, when you create connections, you choose whether they use the private endpoint to connect to applications. |
Note:
A connection that doesn't use the connectivity agent or a private endpoint is routed through the public internet.After completing the prerequisites, you can start designing integrations. See Workflow for Developing an Integration.
