connecting to "Oracle Content and Experience" (OCE)

patternfinder

My company is moving us from Oracle's Beehive Workspaces for sharing content to Oracle Content and Experience (OCE).

Beehive allows me to map a drive letter so that I can point workflows to that drive to pull data (mostly Excel files). OCE does not permit drive mapping, but I noticed that it has APIs. Can I use an API to upload Alteryx output as well as to bring in source files, forming some kind of workaround in the absence of a mapped drive?

Hi @patternfinder 

Yes, Alteryx can establish connections to API's (Download tool), but it's a process you have to create. From looking at the OCE api documentation, it's REST based API and it doesn't seem like there's a whole lot of hoops to jump through for authentication, but it is a two step process to obtain an access token which adds a bit more work to create the overall process.

Hope this helps!
