Automic Automation Run Flow jobs allow you to submit the Oracle Submit Flow Action Job on your Oracle Fusion Cloud Enterprise Resource Planning application from Automic Automation.

To start an integration successfully, you have to define all the relevant parameters. Optionally, you can also define other properties and parameters that you want to pass to the integration in JSON format.

This page includes the following:

Defining Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP Run Flow Job Parameters

On the Run Flow page, you define the parameters relevant to run the job on your Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP environment.

  • Connection

    Select the Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP Connection object containing the relevant information to connect to the application.

    To search for a Connection object, start typing its name to limit the list of the objects that match your input.

  • Flow Name

    The name of the Flow.

  • Parameters Input Type

    Allows you to pass arguments created at runtime to Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP in JSON format.

    Select one of the options available:

    • None (default)

      Select this option if you do not want to pass any parameters to Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP.

    • JSON

      Use the JSON field to enter the JSON payload definition.

      Important!

      There are many options available to define the JSON payload. For more information and examples of the JSON definition, see Defining the JSON.

    • File Path

      Use the JSON File Path field to define the path to the JSON file containing the attributes that you want to pass to the application. Make sure that the file is available on the Agent machine (host).

  • Flow Instance Name

    The name of the Flow instance where the Flow is defined.

  • Legislative Data Group Name

    The Legislative data group name.

  • Recurring Flag

    Check this box to flag the job as recurring.

The Pre-Process page allows you to define the settings of the Jobs using script statements. These statements are processed before the job is executed, see Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP Jobs: Setting Properties Through Scripts.

Defining the JSON

This section gives you examples of how you could define the JSON field when defining a Run Flow Job. You have different options available.

Simple JSON Definition

The first option to define the JSON field is a simple payload definition. To do so, make sure you define the parameters that you want to pass to Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP.

Example 

{
  "parameters": [
    {
      "type":"STRING",
      "name":"shortValue",
      "value":"3"
    }
  ]
}

Using Variables

You can also use variables in the payload definition.

Example

In the JSON field, enter the following:

&JSON_VARIABLES#

If the variable is not defined yet, you must define it now. You do it on the Variables page of the Run Flow Job definition:

(Click to expand)

When you execute the Job, the variables will be replaced with the value you have just defined. This is visible in the Agent log (PLOG), see Monitoring Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP Jobs.

Run Flow Job in a Workflow

You can also use the JSON field if you want to include a Run Flow Job in a Workflow and you want to use Automation Engine variables in it.

Example

In the Workflow, a Script object (SCRI) with the variable definition relevant for said value and time precedes your Run FlowJob:

(Click to expand)

In the Run Flow Job, the JSON definition includes those variables:

(Click to expand)

When the Job is executed, the variables will be replaced with the value you have just defined. This is visible in the Agent log (PLOG), see Monitoring Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP Jobs.
