ICS(Integration Cloud Service) On-Premises agent installation
This purpose of this blog is to show you how to install Oracle ICS On-Premises agent. The Oracle On-Premises Agent (aka, Connectivity Agent) is necessary for Oracle ICS to communicate to on-premise resources without the need for firewall configurations or VPN.
Below are the System Requirements before we start On-Premise agent installation
Below are the System Requirements before we start On-Premise agent installation
- Agent Group: Agent Group is required before we run the agent installer. When we install the on-premises agent in the environment, we associate the on-premises agent with the agent group identifier.
- JDK: Install only Oracle JDK version 1.7 or 1.8. Other JDKs such as Open JDK are not supported.
- Supported OS: Below OS are supported to install Oracle ICS agent
- Linux OEL version 6 or 7
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.6 (Santiago)
- SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP1
- Hardware Requirement: 8GB memory with 4 GB of heap size dedicated for the agent JVM
- On-Premise Agent Installer: On-Premise Agent installer can be downloaded from Oracle ICS home page.
- Internet Access: Either internet access or white-list the Oracle ICS public IP on the host where we’ll install Oracle ICS agent.
Download ICS On-Premise Agent
- Login into the Oracle ICS console
- Click on the Agent tile from home page
- Click Download and select Connectivity Agent: Installer is almost 1.7GB and may take time to install depending on your network speed.
Create an Agent Group
We must create an agent group in Oracle Integration Cloud Service before we can run the agent installer. When we install the on-premises agent in our environment, we associate the on-premises agent with the agent group identifier. Only one on-premises agent can be associated with an agent group. For a single Oracle Integration Cloud Service instance, we can create up to five agent groups.
Follow the below steps to create Agent Group
- Login into ICS console
- Click on Agent tile from home page
- Click on Create Agent Group
- Enter Agent Group Name and Identifier. Additionally, you can provide a meaningful description in the Description text box. Click on the Create button
- ICS Agent Group will be created
Install ICS On-Premise Agent
- Login into the host machine
- Set JAVA_HOME using export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.7.0_80
- Set PATH using export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
- Verify the JAVA_HOME and PATH variables using echo $JAVA_HOME and echo $PATH, these paths must be pointed to the exact java location.
- Copy the ICS agent on any one of the location on the host where you want to install Agent
- Unzip the installer
- Locate the cloud-connectivity-agent-installer.bsx agent installer file
- Make sure you must have executable permission to install the agent
- Run below command
./cloud-connectivity-agent-installer.bsx —h=https://ICS_host.us.oracle.com:port —u=username —p=my_password —ad=agent_group_identifier -au=agent_username -ap=agent_password

- A Java database is installed
- The JRF domain is created
- The on-premises agent is deployed
Once done you will get the successful message as shown in the below screenshot
Once the installation is complete, an agent instance is created for interacting with Oracle Integration Cloud Service.
Verify that the agent instance was created by going to the Agent Groups page from ICS console and noting that the agent count was increased by one. If we click the number, details about the agent are displayed.
We are now ready to create an adapter connection in Oracle Integration Cloud Service that uses the on-premises agent.
