Configure an Oracle Cloud Integration in Loftware Enterprise SP

Oracle Cloud integration enables you to integrate Oracle Cloud applications with Loftware Enterprise SP so that users can drive label printing from Oracle Cloud applications, such as the Oracle Cloud Supply Chain Management (SCM) application. You can configure as many Oracle Cloud integrations as your Loftware Enterprise SP license allows, although you must have a separate subscription through Oracle Cloud with an Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC) instance to use Loftware Enterprise SP's Oracle Cloud integration.

To configure an Oracle Cloud integration in Loftware Enterprise SP, do the following.

1. In Integrations , in the ribbon click > Oracle Cloud to create a new Oracle Cloud integration.
2. In the General panel, configure the following details.
   1. A different job target folder must be configured for each integration. For Job Target Folder, select a unique folder in Loftware Enterprise SP to which status information about print jobs related to this integration should be directed.
   2. For Default Process, select a process that you have created that should be applied to the integration or select the Generic Document Process in the root folder.
   3. For Transaction Size, enter the number of labels to allow in a batch. It is recommended to set this value to be greater than the size of any expected batch of print job details you may need to send.
   4. For Run As, select the Loftware Enterprise SP user account under which print requests from OIC applications should be run. This user account must have at least the INTEGRATOR role or equivalent permissions.
3. In the Oracle Cloud Connection panel, configure the following details.
   1. For Base URL, enter the URL of the Spectrum Cloud Integration Agent in one of the following formats:
      • http://<hostname>:<port>
      • https://<hostname>:<port>
   2. For User Name and Password, enter Basic Authentication credentials to the Spectrum Cloud Integration Agent that you set up during the Provision the Spectrum Cloud Integration Agent step. If you have disabled Basic Authentication, leave these fields blank.
4. In the Archive Options panel, it is recommended that you clear Archive Original Job File and Archive XML check boxes except during testing. However, for Archive Folder you must enter a UNC path to a shared folder or a path to a local folder on the Loftware Application Server to which files can be saved if archiving is turned on. For example, \\Server01\Archive or C:\Archive. If the folder does not exist, it is created.
5. In the Properties pane, enter a description of the purpose of the integration.
6. Click File > Save or click Save in the toolbar.
   1. In the Save dialog box, enter a name for the integration.
      Characters permitted in names

      The following characters are permitted in the name: letters, numbers, parentheses, square brackets, ampersands, plus signs, commas, semi-colons, and tildes. Additionally, the following characters are permitted but cannot begin or end the name: spaces, double quotation marks, single quotation marks, hyphens, underscores, periods, and grave accents. For letters, the case that you specify is displayed, but case is ignored when Loftware Enterprise SP interprets a name. If you will be installing the Loftware Enterprise SP application on a computer running Windows Server, and transferring data between Loftware Enterprise SP instances, see the "Transferring Data in a Compressed File" section of the Loftware Enterprise SP Data Transfer Guide.

   2. In the left pane of the Save dialog box, select the folder in which to save the integration. You can click a folder to display subfolders.
   3. Click OK to save the integration. Creation information is displayed in the Properties pane.
7. In the ribbon, click Home > Start Integration. If a dialog box is displayed indicating that installation is required, click Yes.
8. To verify that the integration has started, view the Status in the Properties pane.

Important! Whenever you add a new device, data service, integration, or facility, you must ensure that the service is activated on all Loftware Application Servers on which it should be available to run and started on at least one. In an environment with only one Loftware Application Server, these types of services are automatically activated and started when they are created. For more information, see High Availability with Distributed Services.
