Create a Connection

Before you can build an integration, you must create the connections to the applications with which you want to share data.

Note:

You can also create a connection in the integration canvas. See why working with projects is preferred.

To create a connection in Oracle Integration:

  1. Decide where to start:
    • Work in a project (see why working with projects is preferred).
      1. In the navigation pane, click Projects.
      2. Select the project name.
      3. Click Integrations Integrations icon.
      4. In the Connections section, click Add if no connections currently exist or + if connections already exist. The Create connection panel opens.
    • Work outside a project.
      1. In the navigation pane, click Design, then Connections.
      2. Click Create. The Create connection panel opens.

  2. 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.

  3. Enter the information that describes this connection.
    Element Description
    Name

    Enter a meaningful name to help others find your connection when they begin to create their own integrations.

    Identifier

    Automatically displays the name in capital letters that you entered in the Name field. If you modify the identifier name, don't include blank spaces (for example, SALES OPPORTUNITY).

    Role

    Select the role (direction) in which to use this connection.

    Note: Only the roles supported by the adapter you selected are displayed for selection. Some adapters support all role combinations (trigger, invoke, or trigger and invoke). Other adapters support fewer role combinations.

    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, assume 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.

    Keywords

    Enter optional keywords (tags). You can search on the connection keywords on the Connections page.
    Description

    Enter an optional description of the connection.
    Share with other projects

    Note: This field only appears if you are creating a connection in a project.

    Select to make this connection publicly available in other projects. Connection sharing eliminates the need to create and maintain separate connections in different projects.

    When you configure an adapter connection in a different project, the Use a shared connection field is displayed at the top of the Connections page. If the connection you are configuring matches the same type and role as the publicly available connection, you can select that connection to reference (inherit) its resources.

    See Add and Share a Connection Across a Project.

  4. Click Create.

    Your connection is created. You're now ready to configure the connection properties, security policies, and (for some connections) access type.

  5. Follow the steps to configure a connection.

    The connection property and connection security values are specific to each adapter. Your connection may also require configuration with an access type such as a private endpoint or an agent group.

  6. Test the connection.

Configure Connection Properties

Enter connection information so your application can process requests.

  1. Go to the Properties section.
  2. In the Connection URL field, specify your Primavera Unifier URL.

Configure Connection Security

Configure security for your Primavera Unifier Adapter connection.

  1. Go to the Security section.
  2. In the User Name field, enter the Primavera Unifier integration user account username.
  3. In the Password field, enter the Primavera Unifier integration user account password.

    Note:

    The Unifier Adapter uses the username and password to obtain and refresh the OAuth token used to connect with Unifier.

Test the Connection

Test your connection to ensure that it's configured successfully.

  1. In the page title bar, click Test. What happens next depends on whether your adapter connection uses a Web Services Description Language (WSDL) file. Only some adapter connections use WSDLs.
    If Your Connection... Then...

    Doesn't use a WSDL

    The test starts automatically and validates the inputs you provided for the connection.

    Uses a WSDL

    A dialog prompts you to select the type of connection testing to perform:

    • Validate and Test: Performs a full validation of the WSDL, including processing of the imported schemas and WSDLs. Complete validation can take several minutes depending on the number of imported schemas and WSDLs. No requests are sent to the operations exposed in the WSDL.

    • Test: Connects to the WSDL URL and performs a syntax check on the WSDL. No requests are sent to the operations exposed in the WSDL.

  2. Wait for a message about the results of the connection test.
    • If the test was successful, then the connection is configured properly.
    • If the test failed, then edit the configuration details you entered. Check for typos and verify URLs and credentials. Continue to test until the connection is successful.
  3. When complete, click Save.
