Oracle Human Capital Management policy

An Oracle Human Capital Management policy contains the connection details that are used by an Oracle Human Capital Management Input or Oracle Human Capital Management Request node when connecting to an Oracle Human Capital Management application.

You can use an Oracle Human Capital Management Request node in a message flow to connect IBM® App Connect Enterprise to Oracle Human Capital Management applications and issue requests to create, retrieve, update, or delete objects such as absence records, candidates, job requisitions, payrolls, and time records. You can use an Oracle Human Capital Management Input node to monitor and accept input from Oracle Human Capital Management. The Oracle Human Capital Management policy controls, at run time, access to the Oracle Human Capital Management application.

The policy is created when you configure a connection between an Oracle Human Capital Management Request or Oracle Human Capital Management Input nodeand Oracle Human Capital Management by using the Connector Discovery wizard. During the process of discovery, account credentials are stored in the vault and connection details are stored in an Oracle Human Capital Management policy. The policy is created with a type of Oracle Human Capital Management, and the name of the policy is returned to the Oracle Human Capital Management node and specified in the Connection tab of the node, in the format {policyProjectName}:policyName.

You can also create, update, or delete an Oracle Human Capital Management policy by using the Manage Discovery Connector Policies and Credentials wizard, which you can access by right-clicking the policy project in the IBM App Connect Enterprise Toolkit and then clicking New > Discovery Connector policies and credentials.

You must deploy this policy before message flows that use the policy are started. If you redeploy an Oracle Human Capital Management policy, all message flows that are using the policy will be stopped and restarted.
