Before You Install the Recipe

You must perform the following configuration tasks on your FTP server and Oracle ERP Cloud instances in order to successfully connect to these external systems using Oracle Integration and load payment requests.

Access Your FTP Server and Upload the Files

Obtain an sFTP server and ensure that you’re able to access it.

  1. Log in to the server using your user name and password through an FTP client; for example, FileZilla.
  2. Create a directory on the server from which to read the files. Note the path of this directory.
  3. Upload a payment-request file (.zip) into the directory you’ve created. You must name the file as apPaymentRequest.zip.

    Note:

    The .zip file must contain two files by the name, apPaymentRequest.properties and apPaymentRequest.csv. For details on the structure of these files, see Payment Request File Definition.

Configure Oracle ERP Cloud

To access the Oracle ERP Cloud instance from Oracle Integration, you’ll require a separate user account on Oracle ERP Cloud.

Log in to your Oracle ERP Cloud instance as an Administrator and perform the following tasks.

  1. Create a user account for Oracle Integration. Make a note of the user name and password you set for the account. You'll use the credentials of this user account to connect to Oracle ERP Cloud from Oracle Integration.
  2. Assign the following roles to the user account. For more information on these roles, see Assign Required Roles to an Integration User.
