Service Types

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Process Automation is available in three models - as an individual or standalone Oracle Cloud Infrastructure service, as a service paired with a Fusion-based Oracle Cloud Applications service (such as HCM Cloud or CX Cloud), and as a service enabled with Oracle Integration 3.

  • Individual Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) service: When you order Process Automation as an individual service, you provision and set up the service instance from the OCI console.

    Explore topics in this guide to set up Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Process Automation as an individual Oracle Cloud Infrastructure service.

  • Paired with Fusion-based Oracle Cloud applications: Process Automation service instances paired with Fusion-based Oracle Cloud Applications such as Oracle Human Capital Management (HCM) Cloud or Oracle Customer Experience (CX) Cloud, are designed for you to use and extend existing out of the box features that are provided by Fusion-based Oracle Cloud Applications.

    When you get Process Automation in this way, it is automatically provisioned for you. You give team members access to the instance in the Oracle Identity Cloud Service (IDCS) application of the service instance. See Use Process Automation with Fusion-Based Oracle Cloud Applications in Using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Process Automation.

  • Enabled with Oracle Integration 3: Process Automation service instances can be enabled and provisioned with Oracle Integration 3 Enterprise Editions. See Enable Process Automation with Oracle Integration 3.

    When Process Automation is provisioned in this way, and predefined IDCS application roles are assigned for managing access to the Process Automation and Oracle Integration design-time, you can use active integrations from Oracle Integration that are designed with REST triggers into your process applications. Thus, optimizing your business processes to communicate and exchange data with other applications and services in the cloud.
