Configure UCM storage for BICClink

Go to the BI Applications Configuration Manager URL. Use the Server URL you found in Step 1. For example, if the server URL is https://my-oracle-fusion-cloud.oraclecloud.com, use https://my-oracle-fusion-cloud.oraclecloud.com/biacm.
Log in using the User Name and Password you created in Step 2.
Click Configure External Storage
Go to UCM Connection tab and click Test UCM Connection. You should receive an External Storage Connection Succeeded message. Click OK

(Optional) Add custom object to an offeringlink

NOTE: We exclude tables from the syncs if they are not part of an offering.

Add a Data Store for an Offering.

(Optional) Select primary keys for custom objectslink

NOTE: We exclude tables without a defined primary key from the syncs.

Log in to BI Applications Configuration Manager URL using the Server URL you found in Step 1. For example, if the server URL is https://my-oracle-fusion-cloud.oraclecloud.com, use https://my-oracle-fusion-cloud.oraclecloud.com/biacm.
Log in using the User Name and Password you created in Step 2.
Click Manage Offerings and Data Stores.
Go to the offering associated with the custom objects.
Select your custom data store.
Go to the Edit Columns tab.
Select the Primary Key columns.
Click Save.

(Optional) Add incremental filter to custom objectlink

IMPORTANT: If an object doesn't have incremental filter then Oracle treats that object as a re-import object. Fivetran in that case extracts all the rows even in incremental syncs, which increases MAR.

Enable Incremental Extract for the custom object data store.
Make sure the Select List and Incremental Filter checkboxes are checked for the columns you want to sync.

Finish Fivetran configurationlink

In the connector setup form, enter a Destination schema prefix.
NOTE: The prefix applies to each replicated schema and cannot be changed once your connector is created.
Enter the Server URL that you found in Step 1.
NOTE: The Server URL must follow the https://<instance_name>.oraclecloud.com format.
Enter the User Name and Password for the user you created in Step 2.
Click Save & Test. Fivetran will take it from here and sync your data from your Oracle Fusion Cloud applications.
