Course Description
This hands-on course provides a practical introduction to working with REST APIs in the Oracle EPM Cloud. Designed for administrators, developers, and consultants, it equips participants with the skills needed to automate tasks, streamline processes, and integrate systems using RESTful web services.
Across two days, attendees will learn how to interact with EPM Cloud REST resources using tools like Postman, cURL, Groovy, and VBA. Through guided workshops, they’ll discover how to run business rules, manage data, update substitution variables, and execute integration tasks, whether manually or through automation scripts.
The course blends conceptual understanding with real-world use cases. Participants will explore key components of RESTful architecture, including authentication, HTTP methods, JSON handling, and API versioning. They’ll also practise designing automation routines and integrating with Oracle EPM Cloud via batch files, command-line utilities, and programming environments.
By the end of the course, learners will have the confidence to build, test, and deploy REST-based solutions that improve efficiency and enable seamless interaction with Oracle Cloud systems.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this course learners will be able to:
- Identify the available REST resources for the EPM Cloud
- Explain how to interact with REST resources using a variety of HTTP methods
- Examine methods for retrieving information and executing processes
- Apply the appropriate HTTP headers and payloads to provide context with requests
- Differentiate between the API versions for the various EPM Cloud products
- Implement scripted processes to submit requests and process their results
Course Agenda
Explore the fundamental details necessary to interact with REST resources
Representation State Transfer (REST) is a way of providing connectivity and interoperability between web-based software solutions. It defines a set of characteristics and approaches for interacting with elements of a system remotely. By understanding the fundamentals of RESTful architecture, you’ll be better equipped to design and build automated processes in Oracle Cloud.
In this course, you will explore concepts such as:
• Introduction to RESTful architecture
• HTTP methods
• Status codes
• Authentication
• Accessing REST resources
• Handling JSON responses
• Polling
Discover how to make requests to REST resources using a variety of methods
Since REST is an architectural style rather than a fixed set of APIs for a specific language, RESTful web services like Oracle EPM Cloud can be accessed using a wide variety of approaches. This enables seamless integration with other systems.
In this course, you will examine how to work with Oracle EPM Cloud REST resources in the following ways:
• Manually using Postman
• From the Command Line using cURL
• Programmatically using Groovy
• Programmatically using VBA for Microsoft Office
Examine specific use-cases for REST resources in the EPM Cloud
Oracle EPM Cloud offers a broad range of REST resources, allowing for alternative methods to manage many aspects of your applications. Each Oracle Cloud product has its own set of resources, enabling tailored activities depending on the solution in use.
Additionally, general-purpose resources are available for tasks such as integration and identity domain management. While this course focuses on Planning and Budgeting Cloud Service, it emphasises general techniques that can be applied across Oracle Cloud products. Tasks covered include:
• Launching Data Management processes
• Executing jobs, such as running Rules
• Performing backups and maintenance activities
• Managing users
• Working with data slices to import or export data
