How to connect to Oracle Financials Cloud Data from IntelliJ

The CData JDBC Driver for Oracle Financials Cloud enables you to access Oracle Financials Cloud as a JDBC data source, providing integration with rapid development tools in IDEs. This article shows how to use the data source configuration wizard to connect to Oracle Financials Cloud data in IntelliJ.

Create a JBDC Data Source for Oracle Financials Cloud

Follow the steps below to add the driver JAR and define connection properties required to connect to Oracle Financials Cloud data.

1. In the Data Sources window, right-click and then click Add Data Source -> DB Data Source.

2. In the Data Source Properties dialog that appears, the following properties are required:

   • JDBC Driver Files: Click the button next to this menu to add the JDBC Driver file cdata.jdbc.oracleerp.jar, located in the installation directory.
   • JDBC Driver Class: In this menu, select cdata.jdbc.oracleerp.OracleERPDriver from the list.

   • Database URL: Enter the connection URL in the JDBC URL property. The URL must start with jdbc:oracleerp: and includes connection properties separated with semicolons.

     Using Basic Authentication

     You must set the following to authenticate to Oracle ERP:

     • Url: The Url of the account to connect to. Typically, the URL of your Oracle Cloud service. For example, https://servername.fa.us2.oraclecloud.com.
     • User: The username of your account.

     Built-in Connection String Designer

     For assistance in constructing the JDBC URL, use the connection string designer built into the Oracle Financials Cloud JDBC Driver. Either double-click the JAR file or execute the jar file from the command-line.

     java -jar cdata.jdbc.oracleerp.jar
     

     Fill in the connection properties and copy the connection string to the clipboard.
