Requirements for Cloud Applications Integration

Cloud integration enables you to integrate Spectrum with Oracle Cloud applications 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 Cloud integrations as your Spectrum license allows, and you must have a separate subscription through Oracle Cloud with an Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC) instance to use the Spectrum Cloud integration feature.

The Cloud integration feature is composed of the following components:

A provisioned Spectrum Cloud Integration Agent that serves as a communication vehicle between Spectrum and the Oracle Integration Cloud
A configured Cloud integration in Spectrum
A configured integration in the OIC that uses the Loftware Spectrum Adapter

If you are integrating Spectrum 5.0 with Oracle Cloud applications, you must meet the following requirements.

Component	Requirement
Loftware license	Spectrum license that includes Spectrum Cloud integration
Oracle Cloud subscription	A separate subscription through Oracle Cloud with an Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC) instance to use the Spectrum Cloud integration feature Note: You must have SCM Cloud and an Oracle Integration Cloud instance running.
Business events	Identify which business events from SCM will drive label printing. Review data available with selected business events to determine what data comes from SCM and what data must be gathered from other sources for a complete label. The Spectrum Cloud integration may be supplemented with additional data sources configured in Spectrum, external to the Oracle Cloud, for a complete label data set.
