## Connecting Amazon AppFlow to your Oracle HCM account
<a name="oracle-hcm-connecting"></a>

To connect Amazon AppFlow to your Oracle HCM account, provide your account credentials and instance URL.

**To connect to Oracle HCM**

1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon AppFlow console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/appflow/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/appflow/).

1. In the navigation pane on the left, choose **Connections**.

1. On the **Manage connections** page, for **Connectors**, choose **Oracle HCM**.

1. Choose **Create connection**.

1. In the **Connect to Oracle HCM** window, enter the following information:
   + **User name** – The user name for your Oracle HCM account.
   + **Password** – The password for your Oracle HCM account.
   + **Oraclehcm Instance URL** – The URL of your Oracle HCM instance.

1. Optionally, under **Data encryption**, choose **Customize encryption settings (advanced)** if you want to encrypt your data with a customer managed key in the AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS).

   By default, Amazon AppFlow encrypts your data with a KMS key that AWS creates, uses, and manages for you. Choose this option if you want to encrypt your data with your own KMS key instead.

   Amazon AppFlow always encrypts your data during transit and at rest. For more information, see [Data protection in Amazon AppFlow](data-protection.md).

   If you want to use a KMS key from the current AWS account, select this key under **Choose an AWS KMS key**. If you want to use a KMS key from a different AWS account, enter the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for that key.

1. For **Connection name**, enter a name for your connection.

1. Choose **Connect**.

On the **Manage connections** page, your new connection appears in the **Connections** table. When you create a flow that uses Oracle HCM as the data source, you can select this connection.
