Oracle Applications
Oracle Applications refer to the suite of business software developed and offered by Oracle Corporation, encompassing various modules for managing core business functions like finance, human resources, supply chain and customer experience, both on-premises and in the cloud.
Optimize Oracle workflows with intelligent automation

Get job-level visibility
Track Oracle jobs and requests directly from Tidal’s interface.
Orchestrate across the enterprise
Eliminate manual scheduling and streamline complex request sets.
Streamlined scheduling for Oracle Applications
Oracle Applications is a suite of business software from Oracle Corporation that includes ERP, HCM, SCM, CX and other modules. These applications manage core enterprise functions, delivered on-premises or in the cloud. Tidal’s Oracle Applications adapter integrates with these systems to allow you to automate, monitor and orchestrate job activity as part of your broader workload automation strategy.
What the adapter enables
With Tidal’s Oracle Applications adapter, you can:
- Integrate Oracle Applications Server R12+ jobs into centralized schedules
- Monitor jobs and request sets from the Tidal Job Activity pane
- Track bot internal (Tidal-assigned) and external (Oracle-assigned) job IDs
- Break request sets into individual jobs to enable request-level automation
- Use multi-organization access (MOAC) for broader reach and fewer responsibilities
To achieve control over individual requests and to assign dependencies to a single request within a request set, break down the request set into separate requests for each job and organize the single requests into a job group in Tidal.
Multi-organization access (MOAC)
MOAC enables users to access multiple Oracle operating units under a single application responsibility.
Prior to Oracle R12, each unit required a separate login and responsibility. In R12 and later, you can configure a Security Profile and assign multiple operating units to a single responsibility.
Tidal supports MOAC configurations, allowing your automated job definitions to span multiple units, such as processing invoices across several country-specific finance units from a single Tidal-managed workflow.
How it works
The Tidal adapter connects to Oracle Applications via Net*8 (SQL*NET) and communicates with the Oracle database using standard SQL and Oracle-supplied packages.
Here’s how it functions:
- Tidal uses custom packages — compiled into Oracle Applications — to interface with the concurrent manager
- The adapter monitors and triggers jobs by interacting with these packages, which in turn communicate with Oracle’s internal scheduling system
- Only standard APIs are used; no Oracle schema objects are altered or deleted
- A bridge component links Tidal to the Oracle Applications environment and must be installed and configured during setup
- The adapter is included with Tidal but requires an appropriate license for use
