Integrating Oracle Cloud HCM data with external PAAS or On-Prem applications.

This is required to ensure seamless data flow between Cloud HCM and the other applications that it needs to integrate. This article explores REST APIs methods to achieve this objective.

Internet-accessible application that supports test REST services.

Ensure that you have the authentication and authorization information.

Administrator user roles must have security privileges.

 

Required Roles and Privileges:

You must have function security privileges. Add them to custom job roles, as required. You must also include any job role that you will use to access REST services.
